Light Cultivation
Eps. 76 — Giving Meily
“It was just my estimation but it may be wrong, I was just worried that the Jian clan would happen something.” Jian Chen closed his explanation.
“From your story, does the Jian clan have any precious treasures? There is no way an assassin organization would just attack a clan for the sake of killing alone, surely they want something secret behind your clan.”
Jian Chen was silent at Niu Qisha's explanation, before he had never thought of going there because he had always focused on saving his clan from slaughter without knowing the root of the massacre.
When he returned to his clan in his first life, the Jian clan settlement was still intact with his house and belongings.
Jian Chen's house still remained the same when he visited, the difference was that it had a lot of dust and spider webs, as well as some parts of the house had been destroyed because the wood was weathered.
There were indeed scribbles of swords or traces of explosions that might have been caused by the attack, but Jian Chen was sure that no items were missing from his house even the money in his mother's drawer was still there.
‘Actually what does the slaughter of my clan want so it must kill everyone in it.’.
Jian Chen thought that when he returned to the Jian clan he would have to look for something precious, if he found it he would have to destroy it or steal it before the organization found out,
That way the Jian clan would not be attacked and the tragedy would never happen.
Niu Qisha looked at Jian Chen pensively with his words and judging from his face, the youngster looked anxious.
“Son, if it's another year according to your estimates regardless of whether it's true or not, just relax I'll help you later!”
“I mean, the Chairman is already willing to help my clan?” Jian Chen was shocked.
“Yes, and for the Niu clan troops I cannot fulfill it or rather it is not my decision.” Niu Qisha looked at her son. “Zen is the current Chairman of the Niu clan, he is the one who has the right to decide whether my clan troops help you or not.”
“Dad, if it is my decision then I will help this Jian Chen. If it were not for that the current Niu clan would probably be different.” Niu Zen without the need for immediate consideration agreed.
Although Jian Chen looked like an ordinary young man but to Niu Zen his kindness was still taken into account. He also hoped to have a good relationship with Jian Chen in the future.
Although he could not read the young man's cultivation, he was certain that Jian Chen's strength was greater than he expected. It was only a matter of time that Jian Chen could surpass the strength of even adults or even sepuh people.
Seeing him instantly surpassing dozens of adults plus being able to use his clan's sword techniques, it was hard for Niu Zen to forget about such talent.
Niu Qisha nodded, if it was his son's decision then he would support him, however the power of his clan now belonged to his son.
Jian Chen also said that in fact the arrival of the Niu clan troops did not have to fight unless the conditions were indeed possible. Jian Chen only wanted the origin of the enemy troops to be repulsed then that was enough for him.
Of course it did not mean that Jian Chen had them, if his strength was enough and he knew who the mastermind of his slaughter was, then just wait for the time until Jian Chen took revenge.

After the meeting, Jian Chen performed a cure on Niu Yuan which was delayed by the coup.
In his room, as usual Jian Chen would place his hand on Niu Yuan's back before exerting his inner strength on Meily's mother.
Healing Niu Yuan was already at the final stage as well as the hardest stage to remove the poison in his body, all the organs of Niu Yuan's body were already clean from the poison but only the last part that was still not the heart organ.
Niu Zen, Meily, Ziyun and Miou Lin stared anxiously because according to Jian Chen's explanation healing the poison in the heart was at risk.
If Jian Chen made the slightest mistake in disposing of the poison as a result it was instantly fatal to Niu Yuan, the loss of life might have been possible.
Niu Qisha observed from afar, although his strength was high he could not do much especially he was unable to do as Jian Chen did.
It takes a high degree of internal control to do the same. And Niu Qisha was not an expert swordsman in internal energy.
Shortly afterwards Niu Yuan spewed out a black liquid from his mouth, his body pale and filled with cold sweat. Niu Yuan's condition slowly improved and now he can really feel healthy at first.
That Niu Yuan recovery brought a fresh breeze to the Niu clan after a few days later. Niu Zen made a big sip to celebrate that invited many people.
Three days after the sagging was over, Jian Chen finally said goodbye because he had no business in the Niu clan anymore.
Together with Miou Lin's carriage, Jian Chen was ushered up to the clan's border gate by Niu Zen, Niu Yuan, Meily as well as Ziyun. Niu Qisha is no longer here because he has to undergo his closed training.
“Brother Jian, this I give you..” Meily gives it with a flushed face.
Niu Yuan opened his mouth as well as Niu Zen, his two parents did not expect his son to act that way at all. Miou Lin and Ziyun who saw him gave a meaningful smile.
“Mei’er, you really want to give it?”
“Mother, I've been thinking about this for a long time and after weighing it further I decided to give it to Brother Jian.” Meily said it with great earnestness.
Niu Yuan turned to her husband to give an opinion on this matter.
“I also don't mind his decision, Yuan’er.” Niu Zen nodded then turned to his daughter. “If you have chosen it then there is no reason we prevent it..” Niu Zen smiled gently.
The current gaze was all on Jian Chen, who was looked at in confusion with the conversation just now.
Jian Chen stared at Meily's golden jade necklace with mixed feelings, obviously this jade necklace was very expensive and precious but seeing Meily who gave it sincerely made him finally accept it.
“Thank you, I'll save this necklace..”.
“Really?” Meily looked at Jian Chen expectantly.
“Iya, I received it.” Jian Chen smiled warmly.
Meily's face was instantly filled with happiness, the hue of her face was increasingly visible. He lowered his head timidly staring at Jian Chen before then turning around misbehaving, running to hide behind the back of his best friend, Ziyun.
“Hihihi.. You're really great, Mei’er?” Ziyun chuckled while teasing him.
Because there was nothing else Jian Chen then bailed to leave with the others, followed by Miou Lin who entered the horse carriage after.
On the way Jian Chen stated that after coming out in the Niu clan he would look for a place to stay outside the Academy for his personal training.
Fortunately Miou Lin had a solution to that. “If Young Master Jian wants, the Association can provide it all, it happens that there is an empty residence and it also belongs to the Association.”
Seeing Jian Chen need help making Miou Lin happy, he had not been grateful about the pill recipe given before and it just so happened that now was the perfect time to reply to that.
Inside the carriage, Jian Chen and Miou Lin chatted a lot especially discussing the Association. Miou Lin brewed tea to smooth out the communication of the two.
“By the way Young Master Jian, I still think about you receiving the necklace belonging to Mei’er?”
Jian Chen raised one eyebrow, “Hm? I accepted it because Meily seemed to want to give it to me.”
“Means Young Master Jian has already accepted Meily as a life companion.”
Jian Chen almost squashed his tea, he did not understand why Miou Lin spoke so. “Kak Miou what do you mean?”
“Eh? Don't tell Young Master Jian not to know.” Guess Miou Lin.
Jian Chen nodded.
“In the Niu clan there is a tradition if a woman likes the man she likes then usually she will give a necklace or the most valuable item for the man.”
Miou Lin then continued. “The most precious item symbolizes that the girl has been handed over to the man she loves. You could say it was a woman's proposal on a man.”.
Jian Chen coughed, “I mean Brother Miou I have to marry Meily?”
Miou Lin chuckled. “Quiet Young Master Jian.it was just his small line, the other intent was that Meily had given up her life for you. The necklace was the symbol of his feelings.”
Jian Chen became pale, the hand that was holding the cup trembled. “But... but, I'm still 14 years old?”
“Why? You are rich now by owning Association shares, have high martial skills. Isn't that more than enough.” Miou Lin after laughing, Jian Chen just cursed inwardly, not that simple!
