Chapter 0390 – Jian Wu Yang Shines His Sword – Absolute Return

The reason why Bai Zijiang wanted to send the sauteed greens with shiitake mushrooms to Bi Sian was purely to show off to Qin Botian:

I’m a master, I even know what my disciple likes to eat.

But he didn’t realize that Qin Botian had long ago figured out his grandson’s preferences.

”That’s right, after all, they’re his own grandchildren, they must eat together often.”

Instead of feeling embarrassed, Bai Zijiang was enjoying himself. He also didn’t expect that the meeting would develop into what it was now.

Qin Botian changed his usual seriousness and flaunted his grandchildren like an old child. And he had originally thought that the cold and heartless Sword Wuchen had such a warm side.

Could it be that bloodline affinity was really so magical? Those unexpected actions of Jian Wuduan were surprisingly similar to Jian Wuji’s jumpy personality.

Thinking about it the other way around, Jian Wuji’s bones might also hide the same coldness and determination as Jian Wuchen’s.

In short, today he finally saw the true face of Jian Wuji’s “magic way”.

His Devil’s Way was not some earth-shattering theory or some grandiose slogan, but rather a physical, silent power. This young sect master of the Devil Sect was walking his own path unswervingly, even more so than them, the old guys.

Bai Zijiang’s gaze turned to Jian Wuchen.

‘Your son’s magic path is not your magic path.’

Their paths, father and son, were more than different, they were practically the opposite of each other.

‘What are you going to do in the future?’

However, he couldn’t find any answers from Jian Wuchen’s icy cold eyes.

I’m sure that Qin Botian is struggling with the same thing at the moment.

‘What do you think of the father and son?’

However, Qin Botian’s mind at the moment was not on this issue at all.

“Sword Sect Master,”

He looked at Jian Wuchen and said in a deep voice:

“Come, have a drink with me.”

Zhao Chunpei’s words deeply moved Qin Botian. Jian Wuji had done something that not even a righteous warrior could do, and that was under the eyes of the Demon Sect and at the doorstep of the Martial Arts Alliance!

As the Martial Arts Alliance Master, he was naturally happy to see such a thing happen.

Therefore, he wanted to toast Jian Wuchen, that was all. He still abhorred the Devil Cult, and he couldn’t talk about appreciating Jian Wuchen.

However, Jian Wuchen refused his good intentions.

“It’s not necessary.”

He didn’t explain why.

“You’ll drink the restaurant owner’s wine, but you’ll refuse mine?”

Jian Wu Chen didn’t reply and just poured himself a glass of wine.

Qin Botian naturally understood what he meant.

‘You don’t want to get close to me because I’m your enemy, someone you’ll have to kill sooner or later.’

From Jian Wuchen’s eyes, he could still see that ambition to unify the martial arts world.

Even if he talked and laughed with himself today, even if he flaunted his son in front of him, even if he maneuvered ten plates of food in the air, it wouldn’t change the fact that they would eventually become enemies.

Qin Botian also poured himself a glass of wine and drank it down.

‘What are you going to do? Kill you too in order to stop your son?’

He turned his head to Baek Zi Jiang.

Bai Zijiang was playing with the wine glass in his hand, seemingly thinking about something.

Enemies, there’s more than one.

Never underestimate this Bai Zijiang. If he seized the opportunity, he might lose his own life as well. He possessed strength and ambition that was no less than that of a Heavenly Demon.

You can tell from his all black clothes that once the time is right, he will not hesitate to strike, and it will be as fast as lightning, ruthless and decisive.

”With you two guys, you still want to take your grandchildren fishing and hunting?”

It suddenly occurred to Qin Botian that he was holding a fishing rod, standing there dumbfounded, looking at the Martial Arts Alliance headquarters that was engulfed in flames, what a ridiculous scene that would be.

‘I must not trust you!’

He turned his head to look at Jian Wuji, the one who had facilitated today’s meeting in the first place.

‘Can you break free from your father’s control and make your own way?’

Unlike the serious atmosphere of the three bigwigs, the younger people’s side was full of laughter.

Of course, this was all due to Jian Wuji.

“Come, come, let me introduce you all, this is my brother, who has been eyeing my position and wants to take it.”

If it was before, Jian Wuyang would definitely retort a few words. But now, he just smiled helplessly.

“I am Jian Wuyang.”

He briefly introduced himself. Jian Wuji knew that with his brother’s character, being able to come to this meeting was already his limit.

Qin Xia Ling had heard a lot about Jian Wu Yang from her brother.

It was said that he used to be the heir to the Heavenly Demon God Sect in everyone’s mind.

Later, she heard that Jian Wuji had become the young sect master of the Heavenly Demon God Sect, and that there had been no bloodshed.

At first, she thought it was a rumor. Later, after she truly understood Jian Wuji, she felt that this matter was not impossible. However, this matter, relying on Jian Wuji alone, was definitely not possible, and Jian Wuyang must have given a lot as well.

Qin Xia Ling looked at Jian Wu Yang and then at Jian Wu Ji who was sitting beside him.

”Obviously they are blood brothers, why are their personalities so different?”

Seemingly sensing her thoughts, Jian Wuji asked:

“What do you think of my brother?”

He originally just wanted to ask casually to liven up the atmosphere, but he didn’t expect Qin Xia Ling to answer seriously:

“I empathize with him.”

“What resonates?”

“We all share the same fate, and we all end up being mercilessly abandoned by our heirs.”

She purposely said the last sentence very loudly so that Jian Wuyang could hear it.

“I’m on my own now.”

Although it was the first time they had met, she was not afraid of this Grand Duke of the Heavenly Demon God Sect. Because she knew that with Sword Wuji around, he wouldn’t harm himself.

Jian Wuyang didn’t get angry, instead, he remembered what happened in the past.

When Jian Wuji became the Young Sect Master, he had also asked him when he would kill himself.

Therefore, he empathized with Qin Xia Ling’s joke. As fellow heirs, the pressure they endured was unimaginable to normal people.

“I’ll drink to that.”

To Qin Xia Ling’s surprise, Jian Wu Yang took the initiative to toast her.

“Yeah, we’re in the same boat, cheers.”

Jian Wuyang poured wine for her.

Qin Xiajun, who was on the side, couldn’t help but say:

“Didn’t you hear Grandpa just now? He’ll fight anyone who dares to bully you!”

Qin Xia Ling took the wine cup and said to Jian Wu Yang with a smile:

“Look, that’s not just a word.”

When she finished speaking, she drank the wine in her cup.

She loved this feeling, if it wasn’t for Jian Wu Ji, she would have never been able to sit and drink and chat with these two people in her life.

Qin Xiajun looked at Jian Wuyang expressionlessly, his heart a little upset. Even if he wasn’t willing to say something like “how could I possibly hurt her”, he should have said something else. After all, this was related to his sister’s safety, so he was inevitably a little nervous.

Seeing this, Jian Wuji hurriedly poured a cup of wine for Qin Xiajun and said with a smile:

“Don’t mind me, that’s just the way my brother is, rather reticent, much like you.”
