Dong Mingshui and Zhu Kaijun fell into the water again. The lake was cold, and for an ordinary person like Dong Mingshui, it was natural to shiver from the chill. However, at this moment, Dong Mingshui was numb to the cold; his mind was filled with the scene he had just witnessed.
"Is this really a human?" Dong Mingshui clung to a piece of wood, staring in shock at Jiang Chen as if he were a deity. Jiang Chen's powers had surpassed his understanding. Dong Mingshui was well-informed; he had seen various techniques and Inner Energy being unleashed, but those so-called divine skills were nothing compared to Jiang Chen's abilities.
Liu Chaowu floated up and down in the lake, having forgotten to swim. The strength of Jiang Chen was simply terrifying.
Jiang Chen retracted his powers and looked at Dong Mingshui. "This is your second offense against me. You would normally be doomed, but you're lucky today; Miss Yue's grandmother is here, and I do not wish to kill." Jiang Chen said calmly. This time, Dong Mingshui dared not speak further, his heart racing in fear.
After speaking, Jiang Chen and Yue Hui returned to the boat. The elderly lady and others had never witnessed such a scene before and were left in shock for a long time.
"Jiang Chen, why do you keep talking about killing? You haven't really killed anyone, have you?" the elderly lady asked.
Lin Jingzhu and Zhou Xuemei also looked at Jiang Chen, their eyes questioning whether he had actually taken a life.
"Grandma, I'm not lying; I have killed people," Jiang Chen replied.
This statement shocked the elderly lady, while Lin Jingzhu and Zhou Xuemei were equally astonished. After all, they were ordinary people and found it hard to accept such things.
"You young man, although you are very capable, you cannot kill people indiscriminately. Who exactly did you kill?" the elderly lady said with concern.
"Grandma, that's something you don't need to worry about; I only killed those who deserved it," Jiang Chen smiled. After all, she was Yue Hui's grandmother, so there was no harm in being honest since Yue Hui had already witnessed him killing before and would eventually tell her grandmother about it.
As for Lin Jingzhu and Zhou Xuemei, knowing this would help Lin Jingzhu let go of any misconceptions because he was no longer the Jiang Chen she imagined.
"How can there be no trouble? You might be wanted; this is no joke. You should turn yourself in," the elderly lady advised seriously.
"Uh..." Jiang Chen looked helpless. As an Immortal Lord, why would he turn himself in for stepping on some ants? Wasn't that ridiculous?
Seeing that Jiang Chen was struggling to explain himself, Yue Hui quickly said, "Mr. Jiang won't be wanted; you can rest assured."
"Xiao Hui, how do you know?" the elderly lady still worried.
Yue Hui hesitated for a moment but then said, "Grandma, do you know Hu Yuan?"
"Hu Yuan? Isn't he your ex-boyfriend?" the elderly lady replied.
"Isn't Hu Yuan the son of Hu Sanxiong and Old Wu?" Zhou Xuemei added.
Yue Hui nodded and continued asking, "Do you know how Hu Yuan died?"
"What happened to him? It can't be..." The old lady and the others seemed to understand the implication, their expressions turning pale with shock.
"You guessed correctly, Hu Yuan was killed by Mr. Jiang. But did Uncle Hu ever cause any trouble for Mr. Jiang?" Yue Hui said.
At this point, the old lady and the others fell silent, too stunned to speak.
Jiang Chen had killed Hu Sanxiong's son, yet Hu Sanxiong had not retaliated against Jiang Chen at all. This was simply beyond comprehension.
"Miss Yue, since Hu Yuan was once your fiancé, how could this be possible?" Zhou Xuemei asked in disbelief.
"I have nothing to do with him anymore," Yue Hui quickly explained, fearing that others would bring up her past relationship with Hu Yuan.
Yue Hui had once admired Hu Yuan, believing him to be the top expert among the younger generation who could provide her with a sense of security. However, after witnessing Jiang Chen's strength, she realized what it meant to say that there are always greater mountains and people beyond others. Compared to Jiang Chen, Hu Yuan was like a mere mortal before a deity.
"You young man, you must refrain from killing indiscriminately in the future," the old lady advised seriously as she regained her composure.
Jiang Chen nodded with a smile.
The heavy rain continued to pour down.
At this moment, the hearts of the old lady, Lin Jingzhu, and Zhou Xuemei were as turbulent as a lake struck by heavy rain, unable to find peace.
Lin Jingzhu couldn't help but sigh inwardly; it seemed that she and Jiang Chen would never be able to mend their past relationship.
By the time they left West Lake, it was already evening. Yue Hui had made a reservation at a restaurant by West Lake that claimed to have Michelin Three Stars.
After dinner, Jiang Chen walked back to Xizi Hotel since it was not far from the restaurant. Lin Jingzhu and Zhou Xuemei took a taxi back instead.
After dropping the old lady off at home, Yue Hui went to visit Jiang Chen at Xizi Hotel.
Xizi Hotel by West Lake is one of the most luxurious hotels in Hangcheng.
Yue Hui invited Jiang Chen to a quaint tea house for tea and conversation. Jiang Chen did not refuse and followed her there.
As they discussed the events from Songnan Martial Arts, they inevitably brought up Hu Yuan again. Jiang Chen informed her that Hu Yuan was a spy from Island Nation, which made Yue Hui feel even more justified in thinking that Hu Yuan deserved his fate.
"By the way, I'm planning to visit Island Nation next month. Do you have any acquaintances there, Miss Yue?" Jiang Chen suddenly asked. As a prominent CEO, she should have some friends abroad. He needed to go to Island Nation due to information he learned about the Divine Mirror while in Kunlun Mountain.
"I do," Yue Hui replied as she rummaged through her bag and pulled out a business card. "This is a friend of mine; you can contact her when you go to Island Nation. I'll give her a heads-up."
"Great." Jiang Chen took the business card and casually tucked it into his pocket.
"Mr. Jiang, are you going to Island Nation for tourism?" Yue Hui asked curiously.
Jiang Chen shook his head. "I'm not interested in tourism. Even if I were to travel, I'd prefer visiting our Huaxia Nation; its scenery is far more beautiful than that of Island Nation. I'm going there to retrieve a treasure that belongs to our Huaxia Nation."
"Treasure?" Yue Hui asked curiously, wondering what kind of treasure could pique Jiang Chen's interest so much.
"Yes. After the Songnan Martial Arts Tournament last year, I went to Kunlun Mountain to cultivate. During that time, I learned that there were originally seven treasures in Huaxia Nation, but now they have all gone missing, supposedly scattered abroad. One of them, called the Divine Mirror, is said to be lost in Island Nation," Jiang Chen replied.
Oh, Yue Hui nodded. It turned out that the treasures Jiang Chen spoke of were not the jewels, agates, or jades that ordinary people might think of, but rather treasures of the martial arts world. Such treasures would be useless in the hands of an ordinary person.
Suddenly, Yue Hui's phone vibrated. She took her phone and stepped aside to answer the call; it was Liu Chaowu calling, wanting to meet Jiang Chen.
"Old Liu, do you still want to seek revenge on Mr. Jiang?" Yue Hui asked with a frown and in a low voice.
"Miss Yue, you misunderstand. Mr. Jiang's abilities have opened my eyes today. I wish to visit him without any ill intentions," Liu Chaowu said.
