Chapter 972: Escaped With the Family Assets
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It was a great kindness that the Sheng clan was willing to let bygones be bygones and protect the children of the Liuli family.
If they won the war, the Sheng family would become the number one cultivation family on the continent and be loved by all the Beast Tamers.
Liuli Luoluo took the initiative to put on a humble attitude from the start. This was what a smart person would do.
Xuanyuan Jing, who was standing beside Liuli Luoluo, secretly clenched his hand when he saw Liuli Luoluo acting so humble.
Looking at the couple in front of him and noticing that Yu Huang was wearing Sheng Xiao’s coat, Xuanyuan Jing felt even more embarrassed. He thought of a saying—
“What goes around comes around.”
Six years ago, he was arrogant and disregarding the pride of a girl, he ran to a public place like the hospital to forcefully break off the engagement with Yu Huang. At that time, Yu Huang was disfigured because of the fire and had already become a laughingstock. Him taking the initiative to break off the engagement pushed Yu Huang deeper down the rabbit hole.
At that time, he was young and impetuous. Xuanyuan Jing hadn’t realized how ridiculous his actions were at that time.
Perhaps he realized it, but he didn’t care.
At that time, Xuanyuan Jing never would have thought that six years later, he would run to Yu Huang like a stray dog and beg her and her husband to protect the children of the Xuanyuan Clan.
Now that he recalled everything that happened back then, Xuanyuan Jing felt ashamed.
After thinking about it for a long time, Xuanyuan Jing took a step forward and bowed down resolutely. Xuanyuan Jing stared straight at the ground in an attempt to hid his embarrassment while saying as calmly as possible, “Xuanyuan Clan’s disciple, Xuanyuan Jing, brings 263 young disciples of the Xuanyuan Clan to greet Young Master Sheng and Patriarch Yin!”
He called Yu Huang Patriarch Yin instead of Young Madam. This was his recognition of Yu Huang’s identity and ability.
Yu Huang naturally sensed the change in Xuanyuan Jing’s attitude.
She could guess what Xuanyuan Jing was thinking and knew how embarrassed he felt.
At this moment, she should take the opportunity to humiliate him to vent her anger.
But they had already reconciled.
She had already gotten revenge for the humiliation Xuanyuan Jing brought her.
If she continued to harp on the past, it would make her seem petty.
Sheng Xiao didn’t speak. It was obvious that he wanted Yu Huang to deal with Xuanyuan Jing.
“Master Xuanyuan, don’t be so polite. We’re all of the same generation. We can’t accept such formal greetings.” Yu Huang held Xuanyuan Jing’s arm and made him stand up straight.
Xuanyuan Jing lowered his eyes to look at Yu Huang, but he didn’t find any ridicule or disdain on her face. He felt even more ashamed.
Currently, Liuli Luoluo was the only direct disciple in the Liuli Clan who could manage the overall situation. Xuanyuan Ming had died, so there should still be Xuanyuan Jing and Xuanyuan Yao left in the Xuanyuan Clan. Seeing no sign of Xuanyuan Yao, Yu Huang frowned and asked, “Where’s your second brother?”
Upon hearing the words ‘Second Brother’, Xuanyuan Jing’s face instantly revealed anger and shame. He gritted his teeth and his face was tense as he said in a low voice, “He… ran away.”
“He ran away?” Sheng Xiao finally stopped ignoring Xuanyuan Jing.
Xuanyuan Jing nodded at Sheng Xiao and said, “Yes, he seized a large sum of assets and ran away with his mother.”
Sheng Xiao was silent for a while. Then, he suddenly said to Xuanyuan Jing, “It will be very difficult for a single person to shoulder the burden of the entire clan, but since you took the initiative to bear this burden, whether the Xuanyuan family can survive this ordeal or not, you are a man.”
Sheng Xiao was praising Xuanyuan Jing in a roundabout way.
When Xuanyuan Jing heard this, he was first stunned before tears welled up in his eyes.
He bowed to Sheng Xiao again and said sincerely, “Thank you for your encouragement, Grand Master Sheng. No matter how heavy the burden is, as long as I’m still breathing, I must carry it!”
Nodding, Sheng Xiao said, “We’ve prepared a place for the Liuli Clan and the Xuanyuan Clan. Yue Tao will send you guys there.”
Sheng Xiao pulled Yu Huang to the side and let them go first.
Xuanyuan Jing stopped them. “Grand Master Sheng, Patriarch Yin.”
The two of them turned to look at him.
Xuanyuan Jing asked hesitantly, “Are you guys going to participate in the final battle too?”
“Yes.” Sheng Xiao was a Grand Master, and Yu Huang was the patriarch of the Yin family. Naturally, they had to go to the battlefield.
Xuanyuan Jing smiled at them and said, “You guys will definitely come back safely.”
“Of course.”
Next, Yufu City welcomed batch after batch of young guests.
According to the final statistics, Yufu City had received a total of 60,000 children, and because the Divine Realm Academy’s independent space was wide, it had received a total of 200,000 children! At the same time, the civilian children of the entire Holy Spirit Continent and the top talents of various countries had already moved to an underground refuge.
The monarchs and important leaders of the various countries were also transferred.
After voting, each continent chose the two most prestigious kings to form the Wartime Alliance with the representative kings of the other continents. Liuli Luoluo, Xuanyuan Jing, and the other Master Beast Tamers who weren’t qualified to participate in the final battle formed the alliance army to protect the underground shelter.
The other Scholar Beast Tamers were in charge of protecting the civilians on land.
Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
…
After the appearance of the spring awakening holy baby, the child in Vivian’s stomach no longer posed a threat to humans. However, Ye Qing’an sensed that the child in her stomach had spiritual power.
A fetus with spiritual power was unheard of in the Holy Spirit Continent.
Realizing that the child in Vivian’s stomach was a natural Beast Tamer, as the mother of the fetus, Vivian was brought to Yufu City to take refuge. Although Jiang Shangfeng wasn’t a commoner, with his personal relationship with Sheng Xiao, he could enter Yufu City to take refuge.
Sheng Xiao even mentioned it to Jiang Shangfeng explicitly.
However, Jiang Shangfeng rejected his suggestion.
He said, “Grand Master Sheng, I appreciate your kindness. I also want to be by Vivian’s side. But…” Jiang Shangfeng took off his eyeglasses and rubbed his eyebrows as he said helplessly,” But other than Vivian, our daughter, Taiping, and our respective parents need me to take care of them. ”
“I can’t leave my family at this time. Besides…” Jiang Shangfeng smiled gratefully at Sheng Xiao and said,” Grand Master Sheng, you’ve always been a fair and impartial person. You took the initiative to offer me privileges, so it can be seen that you really treat me as a friend. But as a friend, I can’t make things difficult for you. ”
Sheng Xiao was stunned. He didn’t understand what Jiang Shangfeng was hinting at, so he asked, “…What do you mean?”
Jiang Shangfeng smiled and said, “If I rely on our relationship to enter Yufu City to take refuge, it’s inevitable that the Sheng clansmen who were forced to leave their homes and move out of Yufu City will feel indignant. Grand Master Sheng, I will forever remember you and Yu Huang’s kindness towards us. But I can’t be an ungrateful person.”
With that, Jiang Shangfeng stood up, put on his glasses, and left.
