Chapter 248: My Saint Position is Reserved for the Young Master Forever!
"What I said before is true; the Canghe Dynasty is truly willing to entrust itself to you, Young Master." In front of Jiang Xun, the Zanghe Holy Emperor did not even refer to himself as "this Emperor," instead using the term "this old man."
It was clear that he had understood the meaning behind Jiang Xun's words.
"Including this old man's Saint Position; if you need a Saint Position when you break through to the Great Vehicle Realm, just take mine. It is a life that was saved by you in the first place."
The Zanghe Holy Emperor looked earnest.
"Then, what do you want the Soul Returning Pill for?"
Since the Zanghe Holy Emperor had spoken to this extent, Jiang Xun stopped playing tai chi with him and asked directly.
The Zanghe Holy Emperor looked a bit embarrassed upon hearing this...
"My wife, her lifespan has run out..."
He had been saved by a Soul Returning Pill when his own lifespan was nearing its end, but his wife was different; she had never reached the Great Vehicle Realm, so she did not have as much lifespan as he did.
Although she was much younger than him, so many years had passed, and with no progress in her cultivation realm, her lifespan naturally could not hold out.
"Next time, let's just speak plainly. Playing tai chi is so tiring, isn't it?" Jiang Xun looked at the Zanghe Holy Emperor and smiled helplessly.
"Yes, yes, yes." The Zanghe Holy Emperor nodded repeatedly.
Jiang Xun sealed the divine sense of Jiabuli and Sikong Yuhuan so they could neither see nor hear the outside world, then tossed out a Soul Returning Pill. The Zanghe Holy Emperor was quick-witted and caught it steadily: "Young Master is truly a divine person; you really have one."
"Don't go spreading this around," Jiang Xun said with a nod.
He was not afraid of the Zanghe Holy Emperor attacking him; after all, he was someone the Ice Soul Valley wanted. If the Zanghe Holy Emperor dared to make a move, Jiang Xun could just bring up the Ice Soul Valley, and it would scare him to death.
"That goes without saying, that goes without saying." The Zanghe Holy Emperor nodded repeatedly, with no intention of attacking Jiang Xun to snatch it: "Many thanks, Young Master! If you need help with anything, just say the word. And I mean what I say—this Saint Position of mine is reserved for you forever!"
Well, this old thing was playing tai chi again.
If I reserve it for the Young Master, then this Saint Position is the Young Master's.
If someone else tries to snatch it and I can't beat them, the Young Master will have to find a way to help...
Furthermore, he was certain that it had taken Jiang Xun a thousand years to reach the Spirit Transformation Mid-Stage, so to reach the Great Vehicle Realm, it would surely take four or five thousand years; by then, he would have lived enough anyway.
'This old thing.' Jiang Xun curled his lips helplessly; it seemed these Holy Emperors had developed muscle memory for playing tai chi.
"Since there is nothing else, I shall take my leave. The Holy Emperor of the Gufang Dynasty still has plenty to be busy with." Jiang Xun stood up and said.
"Good, good. Young Master, please remember, Xingling is waiting for you to marry her," the Zanghe Holy Emperor also stood up and smiled.
"... That should depend on Princess Xingling's own wishes, and I haven't thought about getting married so early," Jiang Xun said helplessly.
"No problem, no problem. She will wait as long as it takes, hahahaha." The Zanghe Holy Emperor laughed heartily.
Well, he could be considered the least anxious "father-in-law" Jiang Xun had ever met.
"... The Holy Emperor is truly humorous, ah hahaha." Jiang Xun laughed awkwardly, then left with the Zanghe Holy Emperor.
"Let's go, wifey." After coming out, Jiang Xun looked at Jiang Yan and waved.
Jiang Yan rolled her eyes at Jiang Xun, but for the sake of his identity, she walked up and took his arm.
"Tian Zeyan!" As Jiang Xun and Jiang Yan reached the entrance and were about to leave, Gufang Ninglin shouted and ran over.
Jiang Xun turned his head and saw her holding a Communication Jade Tube: "A Communication Jade Tube that can contact me, here you go."
"Good. You stay in the Gufang Dynasty. Once you and your parents are settled, we will meet at Tianwai Island."
Jiang Xun took the Communication Jade Tube and placed his hand on Gufang Ninglin's head to pat it.
"Mm." Gufang Ninglin nodded heavily, then watched Jiang Xun and Jiang Yan leave.
"He called that girl wifey?" After Jiang Xun left, the Zanghe Holy Emperor looked at Gufang Chennian and asked.
"Mm." Gufang Chennian nodded: "He said she was his wife."
"..." The Zanghe Holy Emperor frowned upon hearing this. Is the position of the first wife gone?
"Alright, no one is watching now, let me go." After leaving the Imperial Palace, Jiang Yan patted the hand Jiang Xun had around her waist and said.
"Your waist is quite thin, and very firm too." Jiang Xun patted Jiang Yan's waist once, then pulled his hand away and smiled.
"What kind of vulgar talk is that?" Jiang Yan glared fiercely at Jiang Xun, but other than that, she didn't have much of a reaction; after all, she still remembered being seen completely by Jiang Xun earlier, and besides, she had been held by him for quite a long time today.
"We are heading back to the Lingerie-Sect now, and you will be able to meet Miaoyin," Jiang Xun smiled and said while walking toward the Teleportation Array.
At this moment, the heavy rain from the Gufang Dynasty had even affected the Canghe Dynasty; the entire sky was overcast.
"Miaoyin? Why are you calling her so intimately?" Jiang Yan asked suspiciously. She did not know the relationship between Jiang Xun and Qin Miaoyin.
"We're an old married couple; isn't your disciple my disciple? What's wrong with calling her a bit more intimately?" Jiang Xun smiled.
"... You are really... sigh, you never get enough of taking advantage. Stop talking nonsense, especially when we go back and are in front of Miaoyin." Jiang Yan pointed at Jiang Xun, wanting to scold him, but held it back. Manners—she was a person with manners.
"Your skin is really thin." Jiang Xun smiled and stopped talking.
"I'll go with you when you go to the Ice Soul Valley later," Jiang Yan said, following by Jiang Xun's side.
"Oh? I didn't expect that." Jiang Xun felt surprised upon hearing this.
"The Ice Soul Valley is not like Tianwai Island or the Void Sect you've been to; they are not an ordinary sect. Although Bing Yanyan said she wouldn't take your life, it's still quite dangerous. And among the people in the Lingerie-Sect, there shouldn't be anyone stronger than me, right? If I go, I can at least help a little."
Jiang Yan nodded.
"Aren't you afraid?" Jiang Xun smiled.
"... You are somewhat of a lifesaver to me; how can I watch you go take risks by yourself?"
Jiang Yan said helplessly. Moreover, after the incident in the Gufang Dynasty and the words Jiang Xun used to fool Gufang Chennian, Jiang Yan felt that Jiang Xun was actually quite decent, it was just that his mouth and his hands were never honest.
"I'm very happy you have this intention, but I've already decided who to take. You protect the Lingerie-Sect for me." Jiang Xun looked at Jiang Yan and smiled.
"Take who?" Jiang Yan couldn't help but ask. Who else could have higher strength than her?
"My senior sister, Ming Ning."
"Ming Ning? I remember, she seems to be only at the Nascent Soul Late Stage?"
"Big sister, don't you collect intelligence? My senior sister has reached Void Refinement," Jiang Xun said helplessly.
Jiang Yan fell silent for a moment upon hearing this, then said: "Even if she has reached Void Refinement, that won't do. In the Ice Soul Valley, she would still be like an ant."
"That's where you don't understand. My senior sister always has a magical power to turn danger into safety. No matter how great the difficulty, she always has a way."
"... Then since you came to Tianwai Island to stir up all this trouble this time, why didn't your senior sister offer you any ideas?" Jiang Yan pouted and said.
"That is because it hasn't reached the point where my senior sister absolutely must intervene, hahaha." As Jiang Xun said this, he stepped onto the teleportation array; in truth, he simply wanted to be with Ming Ning every day, and the mere thought of the contrast between his senior sister in bed and out of bed made Jiang Xun excited.
