Chapter 1626: Breaking Off an Engagement

I don’t have any possessions since my revival in the fire. I’ll make it up to you when we go to the Heavenly Palace,
said Jiang Chen.
Tang Fan kept shaking his head, meaning presents didn’t matter to him.
The True Force team went back to Hero City. The people in the city were very surprised to see them return safely, without anyone dead or injured.

I bet they didn’t find the dregs of the Nether World School.


They must’ve escaped without fighting at all.

Some negative people had these thoughts.
However, when the True Force team had demonstrated the proofs of the fight, they all shut up.
Afterward, the team members went to pick up their rewards.
What they’d gained under the ice were trophies, and they’d achieved their goal of eliminating those people.
They knew Jiang Chen wouldn’t want his rewards, so they surely didn’t want to waste such a good opportunity.
Tang Fan didn’t go with the team. He was going to take his master back to the Flying Dragon Dynasty.
Jiang Chen was also eager to visit some old friends, like Crimson Moon and Qiu Yan. After all, he was the Marquis Champion of the Flying Dragon Dynasty.

How has the Flying Dragon Dynasty been all these years?
asked Jiang Chen.
Tang Fan at first held his tongue, but in the end he told Jiang Chen everything.

The Empress stopped showing up in public a few years ago. And because of that, we in the Flying Dragon Dynasty have missed lots of chances over the past three years.

Jiang Chen recalled what Yin Shuang and Ying Wushuang had told him. He couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.
Crimson Moon’s state had been advancing so fast that she was seized by a Demon inside. That had happened a few years ago. Jiang Chen should’ve helped her with the problem earlier.
However, the Demon was very threatening at this moment, and the Nether World School was scheming again. He really needed to take care of this problem.

I hope it’s still not too late,
Jiang Chen thought to himself.
He would feel very guilty if anything happened to Crimson Moon.
The journey was way beyond Jiang Chen’s expectations. He had expected it to be a long one because the Nine Realms had become the Boundless Continent.
But, to his surprise, there was a teleportation formation in Hero City. Thus, they teleported to another city and then to another city from there. After seven or eight teleportations in a row, they finally arrived in the Eastern Ridge, where the Flying Dragon Dynasty was located.
The Eastern Ridge had developed from the old Three Lower Realms, but it was not only made up of the former Three Lower Realms. Many of the Ancient Races’ Worlds of Meson also formed part of it.

People have been finding treasures and relics in the Eastern Ridge these past few years.

Gazing at the land in front of him, Tang Fan exclaimed,
But the Flying Dragon Dynasty has missed our chance and fallen into a vicious cycle. Our national power is getting weaker and weaker.


It’ll get better,
Jiang Chen said, putting a hand on Tang Fan’s shoulder.
Then Tang Fan felt as if the world was whirling and he was flying at high speed like a star. He was flushed after everything went back to normal.
Before he could understand what’d happened, he found himself over the capital of his country.

That’s awesome!
Tang Fan exclaimed in surprise.
They’d been at the Eastern Ridge, still very far away from the Flying Dragon Dynasty. However, his master had moved in an instant and taken him here. Such a skill was enough to make his master comparable to Heavenly Gods.

Master, may I ask you something? How strong is your fighting power?
Tang Fan asked.

If I have a sword in my hand, no one can kill me,
Jiang Chen said with a smile. Then he told Tang Fan not to expose his identity for the moment.
Tang Fan nodded obediently. Then the two entered the capital.
Jiang Chen had been in this capital before, cheered by numerous people. But at that time, the capital had been full of hustle and bustle. It didn’t seem to be as bad now as Tang Fan had said.
However, Jiang Chen still found there was something wrong.
There were more idlers in the city, who just sat around all day. Also, there were many brothels and casinos, which all had an endless stream of customers.
All these were signs of the dangerous situation the Flying Dragon Dynasty found itself in.

Master, here we are.

Tang Fan took his master to his home, a house neither too big nor too small.
Tang Zhengyi had originally been from the Realm of Milky, but he’d worked mostly for the Flying Dragon Dynasty, so he’d brought his family here too.
Walking through the gate, Jiang Chen felt pretty pleased.
The Tangs were living a good life. It would be a relief for Tang Zhengyi, who was resting in his grave.
Tang Fan’s mother was very young, about 34 or 35 years old. She still looked very attractive.
Tang Fan’s introduction aroused Liu Da’s interest in her son’s new master.
Since Jiang Chen had told Tang Fan not to disclose his identity, the latter didn’t say anything about it.
In this way, Jiang Chen was lodged in the Tang Mansion. He was going to take advantage of his stay here to find out more about this new world.

Tang Fan, how’d you get to know your master?
When Jiang Chen wasn’t with them, Liu Da asked immediately.

Mother, I know what you’re trying to say. Take it easy. My master is brilliant,
Tang Fan said with a naughty smile.

How brilliant is he? He’s so young.

Liu Da couldn’t relax. As one of the Ten Greatest Young Masters of the Flying Dragon, her son was after all very talented.

Let me explain it to you this way. My master can kill anyone below Venerable Sovereign without any effort,
said Tang Fan.
Liu Da was extremely shocked. She made sure her son understood what Venerable Sovereign meant first. Then she was just too shocked to close her mouth.

What about the ceremony? Did you hold a ceremony to acknowledge him as your master formally?
Liu Da became excited. She wanted her son to seize this opportunity.

Mother, Master doesn’t like too much formality. It’s unnecessary,
Tang Fan said confidently.

Stupid kid. It’s one thing whether we do it or not, and it’s another whether your master accepts it or not. A ceremony will at least show him our resolution and respect for him, you know?
Liu Da complained.

All right.
Tang Fan nodded, as if he’d agreed with her.

You’re just like your father. You never understand what I’m talking about,
Liu Da said unhappily.
But at the mention of her late husband, Liu Da looked sad.
Tang Fan also lowered his head.
The next day, Liu Da arranged a ceremony for Tang Fan to acknowledge Jiang Chen as his master. The Tangs invited many people from the capital to the ceremony.
Tang Fan was quite famous in the capital. Many people came when they’d heard the news that he would take a master.
This made Tang Fan nervous. He was afraid his master would be angry with him.
Fortunately, although Jiang Chen didn’t like it, he understood they were doing it out of good intentions, so he wasn’t irritated.
In this way, facing Tang Fan, rigged out nicely, Jiang Chen formally took on his apprentice.

Is that serious? How could Tang Fan’s master be even younger than he is?


Maybe he is strong enough to change how he looks?

HISS!
Really?

Everyone was surprised when they’d seen Jiang Chen.
First, because he looked too young, and second, because they couldn’t figure out his state.
And the Tangs didn’t look like they were going to introduce him to the guests formally.
The ceremony ended with a lot of discussion by many people.
At this moment, a group of people walked through the gate. People had to make way for them.
A young, pretty teenaged girl showed up.

Fang Min! Are you here to congratulate me?

Tang Fan was very happy to see the teenaged girl. He ran up to her immediately. Reaching for her hand, he turned to tell Jiang Chen,
Master, this is my fiancee.

However, to his surprise, the teenaged girl avoided his hands. She said coldly,
Tang Fan, watch your mouth. I’m here to break off our engagement.

Everyone was shocked to hear that.
