Sovereign of the Three Realms - Chapter 1112

One had to say, Jiang Feng's intuition was quite strong.

"Chen'er, I've let you down. I wasn't there to support you in your time of need for so many years." Jiang Feng blamed himself. "I really feel that I've let you down. I've let your younger brother down too…"

Jiang Chen was gripped with emotion. "Father, you took care of me for many years already. You even waited until I could stand on my own before you came out to look for mother. I should be the one apologizing."

"What are you saying? What a childish thing to say. You have nothing to apologize for. Do you think I could've escaped the Sable Cells if not for you? Do you think I would've learned about your mother's whereabouts without you? Chen'er, if I had to choose the two things I take pride in the most in my life, it would be knowing your mother and raising a good son like you."

At this point, Jiang Feng had completely forgotten about his former identity as a duke in the Eastern Kingdom. It was only after he left the Eastern Kingdom and the sixteen kingdoms alliance did he learn about the vastness of the world and his own insignificance. He finally understood why those people had worn that expression when they took away his wife. 

They had the right to be proud. Compared to them, the Eastern Kingdom was lesser than even frogs at the bottom of a well.

"What happened with the chase from the Eternal Celestial Capital, Chen'er? How did you manage to avoid them?"

The conversation would drag on for a very long time if he were to go into every detail, so Jiang Chen gave his father a quick summary. "It's true that they pursued me, but they didn't give me too much trouble. Thanks to a series of coincidences, I eventually entered Veluriyam Capital."

"So you did end up at the Capital? I heard that the Eternal Celestial Capital blocked the way to Veluriyam Capital to prevent you from entering that region."

"They did. If young master Wei of Veluriyam Capital hadn't lent me his aid, I wouldn't have been able to enter Veluriyam Capital."

"Good, good. The heavens help the worthy, like you said earlier. Where did you go after? You've changed a lot after these years. I almost didn't recognize you." Jiang Feng was very excited. After all, it was every father's ambition and greatest happiness to see their son grow into success, a dragon amongst men.

"I've barely left Veluriyam Capital since I arrived there. For the past couple of years, I've built my own force, made my own connections and even built an important identity in Veluriyam Capital. I'm also known as Zhen Shi, or Pill King Zhen."

Jiang Feng's heart skipped a beat as disbelief shone from his eyes. "What did you say, Chen'er? Pill King Zhen? The one who defeated Pill King Ji Lang of Pillfire City?"

Jiang Chen smiled ruefully. "So you've heard about that too, father?"

"Who hasn't? Everyone in the Upper Eight Regions is talking about this. Chen'er, are you really that Pill King Zhen?"

Jiang Chen smiled and didn't deny it. "Yes, that's me. I used an alias because I didn't want to expose myself too soon and affect the grand plan to rebuild the Regal Pill Palace. I didn't want to drag Veluriyam Capital into my troubles either."

Jiang Feng sucked in a deep breath. The shocking news made him felt a little dizzy, and he had to repeat the gesture multiple times before he finally managed to rein in his emotions. As his spirits surged, he threw a punch at Jiang Chen's shoulder. 

"Good boy! I never thought my son could be this impressive until today, my good man! Pill King Zhen, is it? Hahaha, the famous Pill King Zhen is actually my son! If only I can see the faces of those Moon God Sect people when they learn about this! Speaking of which, I've also heard that you've been chosen as the young lord of Sacred Peafowl Mountain by Emperor Peafowl!"

Jiang Feng might have travelled to many places to inquire about his wife's whereabouts, but that didn't mean he didn't pay attention to world news. Jiang Chen being chosen as the young lord of Sacred Peafowl Mountain had happened many years ago. It had spread to every corner of the human domain, especially since he'd gone into the Veluriyam Pagoda right after the fact.
