Chapter 1018: Son Lost for Many Years

True Word Venerable was slightly stunned and said, "The name is Jiang Fan."

"Is there something wrong with this name?"

Haha!

Hahaha!

The elder slapped the design of the Phoenix Feather Nine Flames Fan, laughing in anger:

"Well, what a coincidence!"

"Guess the name of the little black merchant who swindled me?"

Huh?

True Word Venerable was dumbfounded, could it be also Jiang Fan?

She pondered, "Senior, could there be a misunderstanding?"

"From my interactions, this child is sly but not overly greedy."

The elder snorted, "Then who stole my top-grade crystal mine if not a ghost?"

True Word Venerable didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Jiang Fan tricked the wrong person, this senior was the one he scammed.

His top-grade Spirit Sword seemed a distant dream now.

"Wasn’t he going to refine a top-grade Spirit Sword?"

"I’ll fulfill that for him!"

"Bring him here to the artifact refining room."

The elder said with a dark face.

True Word Venerable rubbed her temples.

The tone, was it really about helping Jiang Fan refine artifacts?

More like refining Jiang Fan into a magic artifact himself.

At this time.

At the entrance of the Fire Worship Sect.

Hua Wuying anxiously said:

"Senior Tyrant, are you sure you want to stay at the Fire Worship Sect?"

"I always feel that the red-faced elder there is not simple."

Jiang Fan squinted his eyes: "Do I need to feel it?"

Knowing the value of the top-grade crystal mine, Jiang Fan guessed the status of the person vaguely.

At least a Seven Orifice Nascent Soul, possibly a half-mad Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul.

Could even be a Divinity Transformation Realm.

But there are only three recognized Divinity Transformation Realm in Taicang State, and I’ve seen them all.

Never heard of a Divinity Transformation Venerable in the Fire Worship Sect.

In any case, whatever identity he has, he’s definitely formidable.

Hua Wuying looked around, feeling a chill, said:

"Then why stay here?"

"If he retaliates, you’re the main culprit, I’m just an accomplice for bidding."

Jiang Fan pondered: "Since he gave the top-grade crystal mine on the spot, he’s acknowledging it."

"Moreover, as long as he doesn’t know the price Qian Lan Fairy paid, he won’t feel ripped off."

"Besides, the world is vast; where are Qian Lan Fairy and that senior going to meet?"

"Even if they meet, they wouldn’t recognize each other."

"Even if they recognize, they may not discuss a carrot."

"If they discuss carrots, they may not talk about the price."

"With so many factors, if they still coincidentally overlap, then I’ll accept fate."

Hearing the logical reasoning, Hua Wuying’s furrowed willow leaf eyebrows relaxed.

A smile reappeared on her face.

"Senior Tyrant is always thoughtful, I was too worried."

Jiang Fan smiled slightly: "At worst, we can hide at the Fire Worship Sect for a few days."

"That senior can’t possibly storm into the host’s home at the Fire Worship Sect, right?"

Hua Wuying nodded with laughter.

A worried heart was completely eased.

Indeed, it’s safer with Senior Tyrant.

"Who are you looking for?"

The entrance of the Fire Worship Sect is usually guarded by young disciples.

Recently, sects from all sides gathered, so for safety, elders started guarding instead.

Several middle-aged people at Nascent Soul Realm stood at the gate, watching vigilantly.

Upon seeing a pair of young people approaching, someone asked.

Jiang Fan took out Qian Lan Fairy’s fiery jade pendant and said:

"I came to pay respects to Qian Lan Fairy."

Upon hearing Qian Lan Fairy’s name, everyone glanced at a fairly handsome, clean-shaven middle-aged man,

showing a playful smile.

The middle-aged man also walked forward in surprise, taking Qian Lan Fairy’s jade pendant, saying: "It is indeed Qian Lan Junior Sister’s personal pendant."

"She never leaves it."

"Little guy, what’s your relation to Qian Lan Fairy?"

Jiang Fan sensed that the person before him might have an unusual relationship with Qian Lan Fairy.

Could he be one of the few suitors of Qian Lan Fairy, as mentioned by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master?

He observed and found the man in front really not bad.

Well-presented, his cultivation reached the Three Apertures Nascent Soul.

No wonder the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master was jealous.

"I’m her..." Jiang Fan acted shy: "It’s bad for her reputation to say."

"Senior, just take me to see her."

"It’s been eighteen years, we finally reunited, I can’t wait to meet her."

Those at the gate exchanged glances.

Looking at Jiang Fan’s age, then at his handsome face, similar to Qian Lan Fairy’s.

Savoring the phrase of not seeing for eighteen years, finally reunited.

They revealed odd expressions.

This... this appears like Qian Lan Fairy’s illegitimate child, doesn’t it?

The middle-aged man’s smile stiffened, his eyes widened.

Could Qian Lan Fairy have an illegitimate child?

He had heard from Yun Huo that Qian Lan Fairy had someone in mind, a junior brother from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

Could they have an offspring then?

"Hello, I’m a friend of Qian Lan Fairy, my title is Wan An."

"Can you tell me where you’re from?" Wan An asked nervously.

Jiang Fan said: "From a very far place."

Is it from that continent then?

Wan An still wasn’t convinced, asked: "Besides the jade pendant, did Qian Lan Fairy give you anything else?"

Jiang Fan thought for a moment.

He stretched his palm, a blood-red lotus slowly emerged.

Several guarding middle-aged men exclaimed one after another.

"Isn’t this the ’Qian Lan True Fire Technique’?"

"I remember she risked her life for it, never taught anyone except her true disciple."

"How does he know it?"

"Could he really be her illegitimate child?"

Wan An was taken aback.

He remembered clearly, Qian Lan Fairy said she wouldn’t pass this cultivation technique to outsiders.

The young man in front, nine times out of ten, was truly her illegitimate child.

He couldn’t quite accept that Qian Lan Fairy had such a large son.

After a long while, he barely convinced himself.

This illegitimate child only represents Qian Lan Fairy’s past.

Love her, accept all of her!

He reluctantly said: "Alright, follow me then."

"I’ll take you to see Qian Lan Fairy."

No matter what, it’s best to ask Qian Lan Fairy clearly.

Hua Wuying looked at Jiang Fan beside her with a mutter.

This guy, is he on a journey to find his mother?

So.

Under the admiring but pitying gaze of the middle-aged men, Wan An led Jiang Fan and Hua Wuying into the Fire Worship Sect.

Along the way.

Wan An kept scrutinizing Jiang Fan.

Unexpectedly found he also broke through to Nascent Soul Realm, was astonished.

How could someone from that kind of continent manage a successful tribulation?

This doesn’t seem real.

Maybe these years, Qian Lan Fairy secretly sent him numerous resources.

Thinking carefully, it seems to be the only possibility.

After all, he’s her son; how could she let him suffer on the continent?

Unable to recognize due to identity, sending resources to compensate her guilt, truly human nature.

Besides, Jiang Fan’s demeanour was exceptional, his appearance handsome, with a similarly beautiful female companion.

A successful career and marriage.

Accepting such a son doesn’t seem too hard.

However, whether he would accept him as a stepfather wasn’t sure.

Thinking of that, he began to cozy up to him.

"You just arrived in Taicang, don’t know many people yet?"

"Soon I’ll introduce some prominent figures to you."

He felt the need to showcase his background.

So this illegitimate child of Qian Lan Fairy knows his distinction.

Jiang Fan smiled, "Sure."

"I also want to meet more people."

"Always dealing with Venerable Bodhisattvas, exhausts Heart Spirit."
