Sovereign of the Three Realms - Chapter 1948

Chapter 1948: 1948

Jiang Chen finally understood the points of confusion he’d had before .

These people hadn’t been merciful in the slightest during the massacre on House Yan . They had only spared Yan Wanjun because of a rather unexpected connection .

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward .

Revenge of any sort was obviously out of the question now . Yan Wanjun wasn’t capable of such a thing, but even if he was, it was hard to judge whether the response was appropriate .

Huang’er felt rather mixed emotions when she found out that her maternal grandfather had been responsible for House Yan’s slaughter . She didn’t know what to feel toward the house in the first place, since it had oppressed rather than cared for her most of her life . Because of her kind and gentle nature, she didn’t utterly despise House Yan for it . To expect her to cherish it instead though, was entirely unrealistic .

Moreover, she didn’t want her two grandfathers to engage in any further conflict . They were both family to her .

Jiang Chen realized why the four cloaked individuals had regarded Huang’er differently than the rest . She was their master’s granddaughter and their young mistress in her own right .

As he expected, First Wind saluted Huang’er respectfully after he finished . “Miss Huang’er, the master has ordered us to wait for you here . When you do appear, he wants us to take you to see him . ”

“Please come with us, young miss . ” The three other cloaked men also saluted .

Despite having experienced a great deal in her life, Huang’er was rendered momentarily helpless by this drastic turn . She looked to Jiang Chen for assistance . She couldn’t make the decision by herself lightly .

“If your master really is Huang’er’s maternal grandfather, I see no reason she shouldn’t pay him a visit,” Jiang Chen declared coolly . “However, do you have any actual proof as to the veracity of your words?”

The four cloaks blinked collectively . To their chagrin, they didn’t have any physical proof .

Having traded blows with Jiang Chen, First Wind knew how adept the young man was in his own right . His opinion could not be ignored .

“Why do you need proof?” he argued . “If our master wasn’t the young miss’ grandfather, why would he intervene in the matter of House Yan? Out of boredom?” He quickly turned to the young woman in question . “Young miss, blood calls to blood . Our master is the father of your mother, your very own grandfather . As his junior, shouldn’t you at least greet him once in your life?”

Thinking about it for a moment, Huang’er made up her mind . “A girl should listen to the words of her father, and then her husband when married . I have already tied my future with Brother Chen and agree with him . It’s hard to believe you without material proof . ”

Despite what she said, Huang’er did already believe First Wind to a certain extent . It was hard to make up such an elaborate lie, given that there wasn’t much these demigods would want from them . Why would they waste their time here otherwise?

“The master would be very sad to hear you say that, young miss,” First Wind replied, a little flustered .

“He shouldn’t be . If my grandfather really loves me, he should’ve come to look for me himself rather than send you four . ” Huang’er sighed softly .

She cherished all of her family members . Though her Yan grandfather hadn’t managed to protect her, she loved and respected him nevertheless .

As such, she was pleased to hear that she had living relatives on her mother’s side still . However, that didn’t mean she was going to lose her head over it .

She hadn’t met this grandfather in person before . They were closely related by blood, but intimacy couldn’t suddenly flare up with so short a period of contact .

“The master was right,” First Wind sighed . “He predicted you would say something like that, young miss . But if you knew why he hadn’t come, you wouldn’t be the same way . ”

“Why didn’t he come himself? Can you tell me?” Huang’er asked with some curiosity .

“The master has taken your parents out from the Boundless Prison . Right now, he is healing their injuries and renewing their constitutions within a secret realm . ”

“What? My parents have already been rescued?” Serendipitous joy lit up Huang’er’s face . Her parents were much closer to her than a mere grandfather .

There was an inherent connection between a child and their parents .

Jiang Chen was overjoyed to hear the good news as well . He knew that the problem had plagued Huang’er for a long time . If they were indeed safe and sound, it would be resolved at long last .

Yan Wanjun was equally delighted . He’d assumed that his son and daughter-in-law had died long ago within the Boundless Prison, as that place was exceedingly dangerous for any cultivator .

The suddenness of the good news caused him to weep tears of joy .

In this life, he owed his younger son Yan Qianfan the most . When the entire house had stood against him, even he could not back his own son . He had succumbed to the overwhelming pressure from those around him .

Every time he remembered it, Yan Wanjun felt daggers draw across his heart . He regretted his past choices, but could he truly walk down the other path if given a chance to do things over?

Not necessarily!

Yan Qingsang had some impression of his long-lost uncle . Since he was a little older than Huang’er, a few childhood memories yet lingered . He was happy on Huang’er’s behalf to hear that his uncle was alright .

The customarily calm Huang’er was greatly moved when she heard about her parents’ safety . She asked First Wind about them in earnest .

The browncloak answered with the utmost deference and care . He related absolutely everything he knew about what had taken place within the Boundless Prison .

When Yan Qingsang and his wife had first fallen into the Boundless Prison, they underwent several years of danger and trial without meeting the four cloaks’ master .

It had been a fortuitous encounter that allowed the couple to meet Yan Qianfan’s father-in-law . The latter sensed upon his daughter the presence of the token he’d left to his wife .

Father and daughter were reunited within the Boundless Prison . By then, First Wind’s master had already become a divine expert . He was supreme even within the great expanse of the Boundless Prison .

This allowed Yan Qianfan and his wife to live in relative safety from then on .

However, there was minimal possibility to escape from the dimensional enclosure . That was, until the recent ten divine nations’ rebellions . Every entrance to the Boundless Prison had been disturbed enough to allow a large number of imprisoned experts to break out .
