Chapter 58: You Don’t Have a Father!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

A sudden rainstorm came to Skyplume City for these two days; it was like a beaded curtain that suspended the rain throughout the skies. The rain didn’t stop falling, and the Mt. Spirit Beast Mountain had no choice but to adjourn the recruitment ceremony. The temperature became rather cooling, and autumn unknowingly arrived.

Compared to the cold weather, the hearts of the people in Skyplume City were much colder. Like the members of the Jiang and the Ma Clan.

The West Garrison Army encircled the residences of the two clans. It had been two days, but the West Garrison Army didn’t have any signs of activity. These black-armored troops, who were equipped with snow-white battle sabers, emitted a subtle stench of blood which made the two clans feel an indescribably unsettled feeling.

Back at the Western Hills, a single statement from Jiang Yunhai made 19 heads dropped, with Jiang Yunshi included! Jiang Yunhai’s prowess had once again spread across the entire Skyplume City, proving that the Massacre Maniac wasn’t just in name only.

Of course… there was another name that was spreading to the various clans like wildfire—Jiang Yi!

When Jiang Yunshe and the rest hurried over to the Western Hills, various clans sent their scouts over as well. These scouts might not have revealed themselves, but everything that Jiang Yi did was soon made known to everyone.

Ma Heiqi and Jiang Rulong kidnapped Jiang Yi’s servant girl, threatening him to withdraw from the tournament. Jiang Yi went up the hill himself and slaughtered dozens of men, which included Ma Yin who was at the first stage of Purple Mansion Realm. Then, at the waist of the hill, Jiang Yunshe attempted to destroy Jiang Yi’s dantian but got killed by a fire dragon that suddenly emerged from his dantian!

The trash, who was still at the first stage of the Cast Tripod Stage six months ago, grew at such speed that astounded everyone. Most importantly, his status was so mysterious that even Jiang Yunhai, who was a Soul Travel Realm expert, had to kneel before him. One could imagine how formidable Jiang Yi’s parents were! Could that fire dragon be an artifact that was left by his parents to protect him?

Of course, there were also rumors that said Jiang Yi was a heretic sorcerer of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom, but the majority of the people didn’t believe it. If Jiang Yi was truly a heretic sorcerer, the West Garrison Army and Ji Tian would have already slain him.

After getting information regarding Jiang Yi, Yi Lingxue’s insides churned wildly!

When she first saw the Jiang Yi’s special traits, she still acted all conceited and noble, looking down on Jiang Yi. If she had made use of that opportunity to build some sort of relationship with him, the Yi Clan would have probably been able to rise in status. As long as Jiang Yunhai was still alive, no one would dare to meddle with the Yi Clan.

Ji Tingyu was rather regretful as well. Of course… she, who was proud and arrogant, still didn’t think Jiang Yi was good enough for her. Apart from the top five prodigies in the Clear Sky Ranking of the Divine Martial Kingdom, the rest of the men were not worth mentioning.

What she regretted was that she hurt Jiang Yi’s feelings in the Technique Practicing Room several months ago. It didn’t matter if Jiang Yi was the son of the Western Garrison Liege Lord; right now, he was worth roping over for the Ji Clan to build some sort of relations.

She held up a yellow umbrella and walked towards a refined courtyard within the Ji Clan. She then quietly asked a soldier of the West Garrison Army, “Is Young Master Jiang awake? I would like to see him!”

The soldier took a glance at Ji Tingyu and got slightly bewitched. This lass hadn’t even developed fully but already had this devastating beauty that was capable of causing the downfall of cities or states. When she had fully matured, wouldn’t she captivate the hearts of countless men who would kneel before her pomegranate skirt 1 ?

Luckily, this soldier was a seasoned veteran who had fought in battles. He quickly recovered his senses and replied, “Lord Yunhai had orders to not let anyone enter during this period of time!”

“Oh!”

Ji Tingyu nodded with some disappointment and turned to leave. Her yellow dress and black hair drifted in the gentle breeze, giving off a flirtatious feeling.

Jiang Yi had already awoken and was now in a nervous state of mind as he watched Jiang Yunhai circulating and helping Jiang Xiaonu expel the poison. His body had been severely injured; he did consume several earth-tier recuperation elixirs and recovered slightly, but he was still extremely frail. Be that as it might—once he awakened, he insisted on checking Jiang Xiaonu’s condition.

Jiang Xiaonu was in a bad condition. The venom from the black widow was just too vicious, and she didn’t have a hint of martial arts. It was already rather late when Jiang Yunhai arrived as the toxins already permeated deep into her entire body. Although she consumed plenty of antidote elixirs and Jiang Yunhai helped her expelled the poison for about five times, the situation remained pessimistic.

“Huuu….”

One hour later, Jiang Yunhai opened his eyes and let out a long breath; he couldn’t help but shake his head. He looked at Jiang Yi who had expectant eyes and sighed, “Young Lord, Xiaonu’s life is saved, and most of the toxins have been cleared out. But a trace of the toxins entered her brain’s nervous system, which I dare not meddle with, as there might be a chance where Xiaonu might immediately die. But if this toxin isn’t neutralized, she might be in this coma forever…”

“In a coma forever?”

Jiang Yi gasped and asked with a panicked expression, “Grandfather, is there really no other way? You are so formidable that even the Deputy General of the West Garrison Army greeted you as Lord, right? You could ask for assistance from him and City Lord Ji!”

“It is useless!”

Jiang Yunhai shook his head helplessly and replied, “We would need either a saint-tier elixir or a heaven-tier healer, if not… a Vajra Realm master that is willing to lend a hand. If not, there is no one else who can save her! You should know that saint-tier elixirs are nowhere to be found even if you had wealth. In the entire Stellarsky Continent, there are only four heaven-tier healers; and as for Vajra Realm masters, our Divine Martial Kingdom only has three!”

“Bang!”

Jiang Yi’s body went soft as he sat on the floor. He looked at Jiang Xiaonu with a pale and sentimental expression. When he recalled how he and Xiaonu grew up together relying on each other, tears fell from his face; and his heart felt like it was stabbed with a knife.

This lass might have been his servant girl, but he had always treated her like his blood-sister. After so many years, Jiang Xiaonu had become a part of his life; and without her, Jiang Yi didn’t know how to continue living.

Saint-tier elixirs did have a price but were nowhere to be found. It had been many years since one of it appeared; even if one appeared now, Jiang Yunhai wouldn’t be able to afford it. Heaven-tier healers wouldn’t even come if you had the wealth. As for a Vajra Realm master… they were the unsurpassable figures of the Divine Martial Kingdom; would they be willing to lend a hand for this lass?

What was the difference between death and permanent coma?

Jiang Yi shut his eyes in despair, and his expression was slightly distorted. After a short moment, he suddenly opened his mouth and violently vomited a mouthful of blood.

“Young Lord!”

Jiang Yunhai’s expression changed. He immediately came over to support Jiang Yi and let him sit at the side. Jiang Yunhai had these anguished eyes as he comforted Jiang Yi, “Young Lord, don’t be in a hurry. As long as Xiaonu didn’t die, there would be a chance. This old servant pledged to find all means to treat her. Trust me!”

Jiang Yi reached out his hand to wipe his mouth; he turned his head and looked Jiang Yunhai in the eye, “Grandfather, can you really find a way?”

Seeing Jiang Yunhai nodded, Jiang Yi let out a breath of relief. He forced out a smile and said, “Grandfather, why are you always addressing me as Young Lord? You should continue addressing me as ‘Xiao Yi.’ Oh right… where did Grandfather go all these years?”

“Hahaha!”

Jiang Yunhai let out a bitter laugh while looking outside the window and sighed silently, “These few years, I… went searching for my memories. In fact, I have lost a portion of my memories, which was when I brought the two of you back from the residence of the Western Garrison Liege Lord. I couldn’t recall anything, but in my mind, I knew about Xiaonu and your name. Xiaonu is your servant girl, and you are both important to me. I need to use my life to protect the both of you!”

“Ah?”

Jiang Yi had this lost expression, but soon something dawned upon him. When they were little, he and Jiang Xiaonu would always ask Jiang Yunhai who their parents were. What was it like when they were younger? But Jiang Yunhai would always smile, but he never replied. Jiang Yi had always thought that Jiang Yunhai didn’t want to tell him. Now, he finally understood; it was because Jiang Yunhai lost that portion of his memories and didn’t know what exactly Jiang Yi’s background was.

Jiang Yunhai paused for a moment before he continued, “When you were little, your dantian was sealed, and I was extremely worried. Thus, I wanted to explore ways to break this seal and wanted to venture the world to see if I could recover those memories. Once I recover my memories, I would know who put the seal on you, and I would be able to help break that seal!”

Jiang Yi nodded and asked, “Afterward?”

“I was pursued by an enemy and accidentally fell into a treacherous land, Green Maple Valley!”

Jiang Yunhai let out a wry laugh, “You might not know of that valley. It is a tomb of a master and is heavily guarded by defense mechanisms. None of the victims that fell in were able to walk out alive. Back then, I was just at the peak stage of the Purple Mansion Realm and definitely couldn’t break out of those mechanisms—which was why I was stuck there for many years. Until half a year ago, I unintentionally touched a mechanism that transported me into that master’s Technique Practicing Room. Not only did I broke through to the Soul Travel Realm, but my sealed memories were also unlocked when it happened. Finally, I was able to break free…”

“Sealed memories? Someone actually sealed your memories?” Jiang Yi’s eyes shrunk and gasped.

“Keke, Young Lord, the world is a mystical place. There are plenty of masters who possess remarkable abilities. Aside from sealing memories, it is possible to seal a human for a hundred years to maintain his undying body…”

Jiang Yunhai patiently explained, “It was precisely due to my unlocked memories did I finally know of your past. This is why I am addressing you as Young Lord. It was because your mother was my mistress, and without her, I would already be dead. Neither would I be who I am today so I pledged my life to serve her! And the one who sealed my memories was… your mother!”

“Mother?”

Jiang Yi was confused as he mumbled this amiable yet unfamiliar term.

He was brought away when he was at the age of three, and he had no memories in regard to his mother. But he was getting increasingly dazed; he mumbled for a moment before asking with doubt, “Grandfather, why did my mother seal your memories? Does she not want me to know of my identity? Where is she now? Who is my father? Why did they… ask you to bring me to the Jiang Clan?”

“Huh….”

Jiang Yunhai went silent and shook his head moments later. “I’m sorry Young Lord! I cannot tell you such things—at least not for now. I can only tell you that Madam sealed my memories so that you wouldn’t know of your identity and you could peacefully spend the rest of your life in Skyplume City. You are named Jiang Yi 2 , because Madam wants you to live a comfortable life. Of course… Madam loves you deeply, and if it wasn’t because she was about to die, she wouldn’t ask me to bring you to Skyplume City. As for your father, according to Madam, you… don’t have a father!”

“Boom!”

Jiang Yi’s mind suddenly got blasted by thunder from the clear sky. He had assumed that his parents might already be dead since a young age; if not, why didn’t they ever visited him? When he heard this news for the first time, he felt it oddly hard to bear.

He was treated with coldness from a young age, berated as a bastard child: he was a fatherless and motherless child. In his heart, he resented his parents; but he still had hopes that his parents would appear before him one day, and tell him—he wasn’t a bastard child!

Jiang Yi paused for a long time and finally laughed wryly, “Dead? Fine then! I don’t have a father? It is better that way…”

They had never been involved in his life since he was born, he would just treat himself as an orphan. Since that woman was willing to seal Jiang Yunhai’s memories so that he wouldn’t find out about his identity, then what meaning was there for him to ask? So what if he knew? Wasn’t he still a child that was fatherless and a child that had no mother to dote on him?
