Eps. 79 — Trip Home
“You're getting taller just Chen’er?” Jian Ya, the Jian Clan Leader smiled gently as he looked at Jian Chen.
“Greetings Chairman..” Jian Chen salutes the girl.
When Jian Chen was in the academy, it turned out that there were already many elders of the Jian clan already there. They came here using the golden eagle demon, intending to pick up the children in the academy to go home.
It was not just the Jian clan alone, many other clans acted as such. You could say this pick-up is a tradition at the academy every year.
Slowly the students of the academy began to ride the eagle demon, each eagle was ridden by one Elder. Jian Chen turned out to be with the eagle Jian Ya after the clan chief asked.
“The Elders, you can go first, I have a little business in Qianshan City.” Jian Ya said.
“Chairman Yes, we will wait for you back.”
Jian Ya shook her head and said that her affairs would take a long time, Jian Ya did not want the academy disciples to wait for her that long.
The Elders could not refuse the request of the Chief of his clan so they immediately left. Now all that was left were Jian Chen and Jian Ya.
“Chen’er, maap make you have to wait a while.” Jian Ya felt a little guilty because Jian Chen had to go home with him so as to delay departure.
“Chairmen do not need to ask maap, I also do not mind.”
Jian Ya smiled. “Chen’er, actually I have some business with one of the Elders of the Miou clan here, he wants to meet me at the Academy at noon.”
‘Two clans Miou?’ Jian Chen's forehead shriveled, he immediately recalled the person who crossed his mind. Jian Chen did not suspect that Jian Ya had any ties to the Miou clan.
Two hours later it turned out that Jian Chen's mind did not miss, Jian Ya had indeed met Miou Lin.
Miou Lin went to the academy to pick up Miou Yue, the two of them approached the residence of the Jian clan disciples afterwards.
“Chairman Yes, long time no see.” Miou Lin smiled warmly as he shook Jian Ya's hand, he also stared at Jian Chen at a glance.
“Miss Lin, you were getting prettier when you last met, I barely knew you in a while..”.
“Hm? Is that a compliment?”
Jian Ya chuckled. “Of course, you're getting prettier, Lin.”
While the two were chatting or chatting, Miou Yue walked over to Jian Chen who was now rubbing the golden eagle feather. The arrival of Miou Yue was greeted kindly by Jian Chen.
From the last time he met, Miou Yue had grown stronger, now she was now at the 3rd Stage Soul realm and was soon climbing the next realm. With his cultivation Jian Chen guessed that Miou Yue was already close to 10 genius disciples in the academy.
Miou Yue explained a lot about the Two Swords faction to him, it turned out that as long as Jian Chen was not around, the Two Swords faction had climbed to the 8th position as the strongest faction.
This was due to two things, first because the members of the Two Swords faction were getting more and more while the other was due to the increased cultivation of Miou Yue.
“I'm glad our faction has become strong.” Jian Chen nodded at the explanation.
“This is all because of you, if the competition time last month you did not win it maybe the Two Swords faction still remains at the bottom.”
Jian Chen could see that Miou Yue was indeed very respectful towards him, Jian Chen himself thought that it was only a small favor for the Two Swords faction.
Miou Lin and Jian Ya shortly ended the chat, it seemed like they were having a serious conversation and according to Jian Chen it was related to the Association.
The two bidding farewell to Miou Lin gave Jian Ya a leather pouch. Miou Lin briefly looked at Jian Chen and saluted him before turning around and taking Miou Yue away.
‘Hm... does Chen’er have any relationship with Miss Lin?’ Jian Ya looked at the action and wondered.
Jian Chen then climbed up the golden eagle followed by Jian Ya afterwards, with once the eagle's intruction instantly flying up into the sky.
The two found smoke rising above the sky. Jian Chen looked down and found there was a huge fire.
“It looks like there is a fire in a village, Chen’er hold we will there!”
Jian Ya pointed the eagle at the puff of smoke, it turned out that when it was near the distance it was not as simple as it looked.
Not just one but almost every house burned down in the village. Jian Ya thoughtlessly stood on top of his eagle, from both hands already in the inner flow of energy.
“Elemental Air ~ Dragon Water Ruler!”
Jian Ya extended his hand upwards, from nothing appeared the droplets of water that slowly grew to become a giant ball of water. Not until there was that lump of water suddenly forming something, Jian Chen's eyes widened knowing that it was a Dragon made of water.
Jian Ya swung his hand, as the dragon moved towards the smoke. When near the village, the dragon then spouts large water making the village flushed like rain.
In a relatively short period of time, the village that was burning was slowly extinguished. The water dragon that had previously disappeared along with Jian Ya lowered his hand.
“Chen’er, we're going to that village. They seem to be hit by a disaster or something disaster.”
Jian Chen nodded, Jian Ya then aimed her eagle and landed in the middle of the village. Jian Ya and Jian Chen went down together to look at the situation.
In the village there was no one, like an empty, uninhabited village where the houses were scorched. Jian Chen felt astonished, he was sure that the great fire had not happened naturally but by human actions.
Jian Ya tied her eagle rope before going to check on the state of the village while Jian Chen followed behind the girl.
“I think this village has been attacked, the residents may be running away or hiding now.” Jian Chen said.
Jian Ya raised one of his eyebrows, not expecting his conjecture to be the same as Jian Chen's guess. “Chen’er, is it possible that they were attacked by stealth?”
“I don't think Chairman, only a few demons can spout fire, they also can't possibly burn something without there being a reason. There is a possibility this village was attacked by humans.”
Jian Ya wanted to say something more when he suddenly saw a young man approaching the two hurriedly and tears trickled down.
“Young Miss, are you a swordsman?”
Jian Ya and Jian Chen glanced at each other for a while before finally nodding.
“Young Miss, please save my wife and child. Please, they have been kidnapped by the robbers!” The man kowtowed near Jian Ya while pleading with a cry.
“Uncle, relax, please tell me what happened to this village.”
The young man then explained that his village was attacked by robbers while he was looking for firewood. The residents did not dare to fight let alone see the sharp weapons held by the robbers.
Not only taking property, the robbers also took all of their inhabitants to be held captive. To cover up the trail of the robber's crimes they set this village on fire.
Jian Ya was silent for a moment before glancing at Jian Chen. “Chen’er, you can stay here, I will free the villagers.”
“Chairman I can help you.”
“Chen’er, what I did was probably very different when training in the academy. The real martial world is much more cruel than reality.”
The reason Jian Ya gave such a warning was because he thought Jian Chen was still innocent about the way of life to become a swordsman. He believed Jian Chen had the power to protect himself just that his experience of the world was still zero.
Jian Chen smiled awkwardly. “Chairman, trust me, I can help. I want to help the villagers.”
Jian Ya actually wanted to refuse but seeing Jian Chen's confident expression made her go down, in the end Jian Ya nodded her origin fixed behind him.
