Mr. Jiang's words were like an imperial decree, and Peng Shishan felt a sense of honor in being the messenger of such a command.
"Alright then, it's getting late. Let's head down the mountain together," Jiang Chen said casually.
The journey was quiet, and they soon arrived at the foot of the mountain. Jiang Chen got into Jiang Shi's car, returning to Qingcheng County. He preferred not to use his sword flight technique in front of them.
Jiang Shi drove Jiang Chen to the entrance of their community. After Jiang Chen got out and bid farewell to Jiang Jiewen, he headed home. Once he exited the car, only Jiang Shi and his daughter were left inside.
The atmosphere was tense; neither father nor daughter knew what to say. Finally, Jiang Shi parked the car in their designated spot and couldn't hold back any longer.
"Do you know that Jiang Chen is the Mr. Jiang everyone talks about?" Jiang Shi asked.
"I just found out too, but I always knew Jiang Chen was impressive. Dad, I mentioned this to you before, but you didn't believe me," Jiang Jiewen replied softly.
"Well, you did tell me, but who would believe such things without seeing them firsthand? To be honest, even after witnessing it just now, I still can't wrap my head around it. It's simply unbelievable," Jiang Shi said with a complex tone.
"It is surprising, but it's the truth," Jiang Jiewen affirmed.
"Looks like I underestimated him—severely underestimated him. No wonder you think there’s no one better than him among young people; it seems that's indeed the case," Jiang Shi sighed. Today, he had gained a deeper understanding of Jiang Chen; he was no longer just a person but something divine.
Jiang Jiewen remained silent.
"By the way, when did you start following Jiang Chen?" Jiang Shi asked.
"Dad, you might not believe this, but Jiang Chen took me there on his sword. We watched from the cliff until those two men in black took out the Yin Ling Zhi Jing before we came down," Jiang Jiewen explained.
"Sword flight? If you had told me this before, I would have never believed it. But now, I do believe that this world is far more complex than I thought. However, Jiang Jiewen, we are just ordinary people; I think it's best if we steer clear of these hidden matters. You and Jiang Chen are not from the same world; we can't reach that level," Jiang Shi said thoughtfully and seriously.
Despite his curiosity about the unknown, some things were truly beyond the reach of ordinary people. He felt a sense of reverence—and even fear—toward Jiang Chen now.
"Dad, you don’t need to worry about that. I know what I'm doing. Jiang Chen told me that one day I will also be able to fly on a sword," Jiang Jiewen said with a smile full of anticipation.
Jiang Shi was taken aback, staring wide-eyed at his daughter in disbelief. His daughter flying on a sword? It was something he couldn't even imagine. Yet now, he could only offer her advice and dared not interfere further; his daughter's perspective was indeed different—she could see Jiang Chen's extraordinary nature even in high school.
In contrast, he felt that as an old police officer, his judgment paled in comparison to hers.
Seeing her father suddenly fall silent, Jiang Jiewen hesitated for a moment before asking, "Dad, you shouldn't oppose my relationship with Jiang Chen anymore, right? I've made up my mind about him for life."
"I can't help it; I can't find anyone better than Jiang Chen among young people. Even if I wanted to oppose it now, it wouldn't matter anymore. I just hope you're happy," Jiang Shi's gaze softened as he spoke. With things having developed to this point, what else could he do?
