Baili Bin watched as the battle drew to an eventual end. Faintly, he muttered under his breath, “How pitiable.”

How pitiable, the leader of a great nation who was willing to stoop so low.

After that, he turned around and left the place in his wheelchair.

It was at this point that he realized his strength was far from enough. The ancient martial arts world just wouldn’t be what it was without Jiang Shuxuan.

Murong Feiye was deep in thought as he watched Baili Bin’s figure gradually recede into the distance. In that moment, his eyes were full of confusion.

“Feiye, we were able to hold out for so many days before Shuxuan’s return thanks to you. Your role in this must not be forgotten.”

Murong Feiye did not dare to inflate his ego upon hearing this. “Clan Leader Baili, even if I wasn’t here, the end result would be the same. Ah Bin already knew from the get-go what would happen in the end, what more to say of Uncle Jiang’s return.” Even if he refrained from meddling in the conflict, Uncle Jiang alone could probably save the entire ancient martial arts world in the nick of time.

Baili Qu patted his shoulder. “Young man, such humility will bring you nowhere.”

Murong Feiye bowed his head and let out a bitter laugh. He wasn’t trying to be humble.

The Jiang family.

Madam Jiang was on the brink of a nervous breakdown. She kept pacing around the ground outside the door, whilst peering out from time to time.

“Why hasn’t my Shuxuan come home yet?”

Even their butler was starting to get panicky. Still, seeing Madam Jiang’s condition made him suppress his emotions from surfacing. “Young Master might still be dealing with the aftermath, please stay calm Madam.”

“No! I must go and take a look!” said Madam Jiang whose patience had finally run out.

Although she had already caught wind that her son was alive and well, she still had not seen him in person yet. How could she remain calm like this?

It was at that point that a tall figure emerged from outside the door. Despite being a middle-aged man, his face remained as handsome and as masculine as before. With large, triumphant strides, he marched over to his home.

“Master,” greeted the butler instinctively.

Madam Jiang froze up in shock. As she stared at the man in front of her, a bitter feeling from the depths of her heart rose up immediately. With reddened eyes, she cursed at him, “Asshole! Of all the time, why now?!”

“Come on, don’t cry on me. I have returned have I not?” Jiang Han’s expression changed instantly. Anxiously, he hurried over to his woman’s side. He had never seen the iron lady act like this before, which made his heart ache “Now now, stop crying. It’s all my fault, I know.”

“You’ve come back, what about Ah Li?” Madam Jiang wiped away her tears. Looking behind Jiang Han, she saw no signs of that man.

Jiang Han brought her into their home. “Ah Li’s condition will remain as it is for now. Did you not keep urging me to come home? Well, here I am.” He remembered her complaining to him over the phone that Shuxuan was a disobedient child, that she could no longer control their child…

Madam Jiang gave him an angry glare before tears swelled up in her eyes again. “Did you see Shuxuan on your way here? Is he still alright?”

“… I did bump into him on the way here.” Jiang Han snorted the moment he heard Shuxuan’s name. Didn’t she just say that she had abandoned that child? Now she’s concerned about his well being?! “Relax, he’s stronger than ever.”
