Chapter 1521: Chapter 1522: Old man, I’ve finally avenged you
Xiao Changyi didn’t look back either, holding in his hand the longsword that Su Haoyu once wielded during his campaigns. At this moment, the sword was dripping with blood, and the blood belonged to the Emperor of Chilin, each drop falling from the tip of the sword.
But Xiao Changyi didn’t glance at the blood on the sword at all. He walked forward without expression, muttering in his heart, “Old man, I’ve finally avenged you… avenged you…”
An Jing also didn’t look at the Emperor of Chilin and turned to walk outside with Xiao Changyi. This battle, which lasted so long, had finally ended. Godfather, you can rest in peace.
Meng Zhuqing did not follow Xiao Changyi. He instructed others to properly preserve the Emperor of Chilin’s head, as they needed to take it back to the Imperial Capital to mourn Emperor Su Haoyu. Then he began to clean up the aftermath.
As the Great General of the Chilin expedition, Xiao Changyi now had to take over the entire Imperial City of Chilin, including the Imperial Palace. Previously, Su Chengyu said in a letter that if they captured the Imperial City of Chilin, it should be renamed to “Yun City.”
Xiao Changyi ordered to change the names on the four city gates. From now on, there would be no Imperial City of Chilin, only Xiyun Yun City.
While Xiao Changyi was busy taking over the Imperial City of Chilin, An Jing went to the pharmacy to see Gong Juechen.
Gong Juechen’s right hand had already been treated but wouldn’t heal well for a month or two.
Ye Zhi had stopped crying, but she ignored Gong Juechen, turning her back to him. Gong Juechen sat beside Ye Zhi, constantly coaxing her, hoping she’d pay him some attention.
When Gong Juechen saw An Jing come in, he said, “Jingjing, please say something nice for me, Zhizhi won’t pay attention to me, my heart aches so much.”
An Jing replied, “It’s not your heart that hurts; it’s your hand, right.”
Just then, Gong Juese came in with a burst of excitement, asking, “Brother, brother, I heard you killed that top martial artist of Chilin, is it true?”
“No, it’s not true.” Gong Juechen replied with a lie right away.
He was truly troubled now. Unable to appease his loved one, he had also exposed his martial arts skills. However, exposing his martial arts skills was alright since he had saved his Zhizhi and avenged her by killing that person.
“Hmph.” Ye Zhi turned her head to glare at Gong Juechen, then turned her back to him again.
Gong Juechen was about to cry. It was easy to offend, but hard to appease.
An Jing gave Gong Juechen a sidelong glance and then casually said, “It’s true, lots of people saw it. Your brother’s martial arts skills are exceptional, and he took out the top martial artist of Chilin, Jiang Feisheng, in no time.”
“Brother, you’re so amazing?!” Gong Juese was exceptionally happy, not angry at Gong Juechen for lying to her at all. “But, brother, why didn’t you tell me you knew martial arts? I always had to protect you. If I knew how strong your martial arts were, I wouldn’t have followed you around every day to protect you!”
Gong Juechen opened his mouth with another lie: “Master didn’t allow me to tell you.”
“In consideration that Master has already passed away, I won’t hold it against him.” Gong Juese immediately let the matter go without any concern.
An Jing: “…”
Ye Zhi: “…”
How can such a significant matter be let go so easily? This is deception! Blatant deception!
Even if you don’t mind the deceit, at least ask why the master didn’t let you know about his martial arts skills… and so on.
Despite being speechless, An Jing and Ye Zhi both knew that the way of thinking of the eccentric siblings Gong Juechen and Gong Juese couldn’t be reasoned with common sense, so they didn’t remain speechless for too long.
