"No."
"Then, Mr. Jiang, why do you harbor such animosity towards the Holy Witch Cult?"
"I just find it unpleasant."
Gu Yun Nan looked at Jiang Chen, speechless. He had thought there was some deep-seated grudge between Jiang Chen and the Holy Witch Cult, but it turned out that Jiang Chen simply disliked them enough to casually kill their members. If Tu Li hadn't been part of the Holy Witch Cult, he might have had a chance to live.
Who exactly is this Mr. Jiang? So young yet possessing a steadiness that surpasses even a century-old elder. His actions are so free-spirited, and his cultivation is unfathomably profound; he can easily take away someone's lifespan. Such abilities are astonishing. Can the Huaxia heritage really cultivate someone like him?
Gu Yun Nan was filled with doubts, but Jiang Chen was unwilling to reveal too much, and Gu Yun Nan did not dare to press further.
When Jiang Chen returned to the hotel, it was already late at night. To his surprise, Li Daotian was waiting for him. Since Jiang Chen had given him five hundred billion, Li Daotian wanted to express his gratitude and strengthen their relationship for future dealings.
In truth, five hundred billion was an astronomical figure for Li Daotian, but it was insignificant for Jiang Chen, so he felt no need for thanks. As for deepening their connection, he would leave that to fate in the future.
However, Jiang Chen did give Li Daotian a Lingqi Pill to pass on to Li Xiyun for her to take after the abortion. When Li Daotian asked when Jiang Chen would return, he learned it would be the next day and requested to fly together on the same flight. The Li family was from An Province, so flying to Shanghai first wasn’t out of the way.
The night passed without incident, and early the next morning, Li Xiyun went to the hospital. By noon, she returned with a rosy complexion and no other unusual symptoms; this was due to her taking the Lingqi Pill that Jiang Chen had given her the night before.
At noon, everyone boarded a plane back to Shanghai. Their trip to Hong Kong Island had come to an end; although it had been more complicated than Jiang Chen had anticipated, it turned out well in the end because of Tu Li's involvement. Jiang Chen didn’t need to clash with Gu Yun Nan and easily obtained the Five Element Spirit Orbs—a fortunate outcome indeed.
The Li family did not linger in Shanghai and went straight back home to An Province.
After returning to Shanghai, Jiang Chen instructed Ding Yan to stay at Quiet Villa for cultivation while he asked Jiang Luyi to book a flight for him, preparing to depart for Great Britain the next day.
Now that he had secured the Five Element Spirit Orbs, Jiang Chen intended to seize the opportunity and head to Great Britain with the aim of obtaining the Divine Bone Order; as for the blood clan, while they might be troublesome to deal with, they were not something he feared.
Of course, if he could persuade the blood clan to willingly hand over the Divine Bone Order without conflict, that would be even better.
That night, Jiang Chen lay in a wicker chair in Quiet Villa's courtyard and began browsing on his phone. With school on summer break, Qin Xusha had gone to Great Britain with a classmate and sent him many photos from their day of sightseeing.
Qin Xusha had mentioned before that her classmate was named Jiang Lu; since they shared a surname, she wanted to introduce her as a sister to Jiang Chen. In Qin Xusha's photos, besides Jiang Lu, there was another unfamiliar girl whom Jiang Chen didn’t pay much attention to as he flipped through the pictures; all three girls were smiling brightly and clearly having a great time.
The next day, Jiang Chen boarded a flight heading to Great Britain but did not immediately inform Jon Delson. Since his sister and Qin Xusha had already arrived in Great Britain yesterday and started their vacation, Jiang Chen planned to accompany Qin Xusha for a few days before seeking out the blood clan.
It was July—the perfect season for traveling to Great Britain—dressed in casual attire and sporting sneakers as he disembarked from the plane.
