Eps. 268 — Leaving the Capital
The arrival of Jian Chen turned out to be waiting for Miou Lin, the girl looked anxious because Jian Chen had been chasing after the mysterious man for so long.
"Young master Jian, you're fine, how about that man can you handle it? Is he really from the Qilin Empire?"
Jian Chen scratched his nose while smiling awkwardly, he was not ready with Miou Lin's consecutive questions.
Jian Chen slowly explained what he knew about the man, especially the plan of the Qilin Empire that was about to attack the Dragon Empire.
Even though Miou Lin knew about it but after hearing it directly he was still shocked.
Jian Chen took out a paper scroll that he had taken from the man, the same scroll contained the information that the man was about to send to his fortune.
Miou Lin read the paper scroll before finally holding his breath coldly, in the letter there was also information regarding the association of the Miou clan that was about to be reported.
"As Miss saw, the association of the Miou clan was already known by the Qilin empire. It could be that what His Majesty the Emperor stated was correct, the association would be targeted first by them."
"Young master Jian, does this mean that the Miou clan will be attacked?"
"It's not possible but certain, I'm sure their main goal is to want our association."
Miou Lin massaged her aching head, not expecting that in the Empire's political war, her clan would be affected first.
Miou Lin then asked Jian Chen for help to escort him temporarily to the Lightning Dragon province, he planned on returning back to the Miou clan.
Of course Miou Lin would pay Jian Chen a heavy fee if he wanted to, considering that the young man stronger than he expected might hire a swordsman as tall as Jian Chen would cost him nothing.
Moreover Miou Lin was afraid that his arrival to the capital was already known to the enemy. It could have been on his way home by boat, he was attacked.
"No need to hesitate Miss Lin, actually from the beginning I also want to go there..."
Since now that Jian Chen had successfully brought Ziyun and Meily to the academy then there was no reason for him to be here anymore. Jian Chen then asked Miou Lin to give the same news to the Dragon Emperor.
"The Dragon Emperor should know this news, he should immediately gather his troops as fast as he can or it will all be too late..."
Miou Lin nodded, what Jian Chen said was indeed true, the Dragon Emperor had to prepare his army before the Qilin Empire came and attacked.
Miou Lin then said that he should also be here for the next three days, in addition to meeting the Dragon Emperor, Miou Lin also has other interests in managing the association in the Capital branch.
Jian Chen nodded in understanding, he was also not too rushed towards the Lightning Dragon Province.
***
For the three promised days, Jian Chen spent his time training his Heavenly Dragon Scales in order to reach the perfect point
According to the records of the Celestial God Book, when the Heavenly Dragon Scales had been fully mastered, then the technique could naturally harden Jian Chen's skin without having to consciously activate it. The same reason made Jian Chen eager to master it as soon as possible.
Aside from training at the place the Association provided, the occasional Jian Chen spent his time with Ziyun and Meily, the two girls were excited when taking him for a walk around the city.
Until it was time for Jian Chen to leave, he said goodbye first to his two girls.
"I have to go, thank you for being with me here..." Jian Chen smiled gently as he stroked the tops of Meily and Ziyun's heads in turn.
The two girls had indeed been told by Jian Chen before that he would be leaving soon, so it was not too sad when Jian Chen would leave them now.
Jian Chen chuckled, since the last three days Meily had indeed already shown her true nature like she was to Ziyun.
Ziyun who saw her little friend act like that just shook her head slowly while chuckling, according to her, Meily always wanted to be spoiled by those closest to her.
Jian Chen then took out two leather pouches containing spirit stones inside. He gave it to both.
"Brother Jian, this is..."
Ziyun and Meily were to the point of speechless seeing a greenish shining stone in the pouch.
Although the two had only seen the stone for the first time, Ziyun and Meily were convinced that the object in front of him was the legendary spirit stone.
Not just one but Jian Chen gave dozens in it.
"I hope with that spirit stone you can become stronger..." Jian Chen stroked Meily's cheek whose eyes were still staring at the stone without blinking.
Meily regained her senses before her face turned red, she blushed in embarrassment at Jian Chen's actions just now.
"Brother Jian, this is. I cannot accept it..." Ziyun handed the leather pouch back to Jian Chen, he could not imagine how precious the spirit stone was in the martial world.
Jian Chen shook his head slowly. "From the beginning I did want to give you that spirit stone, after all I don't need that stone either."
Ziyun who wanted to say the other rejection immediately locked up her intentions, she could see Jian Chen was indeed giving the stone to her.
"I hope that someday I will continue with you Brother Jian, as a companion of your life..." Ziyun peeked at Jian Chen's cheek which Meily followed after.
Jian Chen stroked the tops of his two girls for the last time before then he flew towards the harbor spot where Miou Lin was already waiting there.
"Young master Jian, have you finished your business?" Miou Lin chuckled softly when he saw Jian Chen return.
"It's been but is there something on my face?" Jian Chen felt Miou Lin staring at his face abnormally.
"Ah no, I'm just a little surprised there's a lip mark on your two cheeks?"
Miou Lin said so while taking out the mirror in her bag. As Jian Chen glazed over, he then realized there was something, Jian Chen hurriedly rubbed the red mark that was on his cheek.
"Young master Jian, it seems that Mei'er and Yun'er have fallen deeply in love with you, being able to have one of them is greatness, having both of them is a miracle..."
"Miss Lin, isn't it time for our ship to sail?" Jian Chen tried to change the topic of his conversation.
"Of course but is the sign of the two lips a kiss from Mei'er and Yun'er?"
Jian Chen cussed inwardly, he did not give an answer to Miou Lin but instead directly boarded the association ship while hiding his flushed face, on the other hand Miou Lin only chuckled at that.
Until now, though, Miou Lin had never considered Jian Chen to be a minor given the young man's ever-adult attitude but Jian Chen's mannerisms had just resuscitated him that Jian Chen was nothing more than a teenager dozen years.
"With the good looks of Young Master Jian and his strength and wealth, it is no wonder he has two wives, ah no... It could be more than that."
Jian Chen had all the aspects that women wanted. Generally women look at men of four things, first physical, second financial, third social and last intellectual. As far as Miou Lin was concerned, Jian Chen had all four of them, it was no wonder that later the man had more than one wife.
