Chapter 384 -384 All Die Together

Qin Wangchuan stomped the ground anxiously, gritting her teeth as she said, “You need to leave!”

“Don’t embarrass me!”

*She couldn’t even begin to imagine how humiliating it would be if Jiang Fan called her ‘Chuanchuan’ in front of a group of old fogies.*

Jiang Fan frowned and replied, “Stop being difficult! I’ll leave after I drop you off at home.”

“Old sir, please show the way!”

Yu Yingchen, delighted to see Qin Wangchuan’s predicament, grinned so widely that his eyes turned into slits. “Alright, alright, follow me, quickly follow me!”

*Qin Wangchuan bit down hard on her silver teeth in shame and frustration.*

*Yet she still didn’t want to reveal her identity in front of Jiang Fan at this moment.*

She had no choice but to keep trying to block their way.

*Unfortunately, to Jiang Fan, it all seemed like nothing more than a childish tantrum, and he ignored it entirely.*

Finally, they arrived at a rather majestic mansion.

“Kong Mansion.”

*Jiang Fan’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise; wasn’t the Sect Master of Giant Sect surnamed Kong?*

*What kind of relationship did Qin Wangchuan have with Kong Mansion?*

Curious, he followed Yu Yingchen into the rear garden of the mansion.

There, a few elderly men and women were chatting in small groups.

As soon as they saw Qin Wangchuan’s arrival, they started approaching her to pay their respects.

Fortunately, Yu Yingchen spoke up first, saying, “Wangchuan is here to seek refuge with us, her family. You all better treat her well in the future.”

*Family?*

*The people present were all Supreme Elders from various sects.*

*Every single one of them was the cream of the crop in intellect and cunning.*

*A brief pause was followed by glances darting between Jiang Fan and Qin Wangchuan, after which they quickly grasped the situation almost completely.*

They cooperated by nodding in agreement.

Some of those who had close relationships with Qin Wangchuan even took the opportunity for some light teasing.

“Young man, don’t you worry. I’m Wangchuan’s great-aunt, and I’ll be sure to take good care of her.”

“I’m her second grandaunt.”

“And I’m the third grandaunt.”

…

*Qin Wangchuan’s temple throbbed fiercely.*

*She was clearly close to the breaking point of her fiery temper.*

Jiang Fan relaxed upon hearing this.

*So it truly turned out they were Chuanchuan’s family.*

He cupped his hands respectfully and said, “Honorable sirs and madams, I was entrusted by Green Cloud Sect’s Elder Wen to escort her here for refuge.”

“Now that she has been safely delivered, I have fulfilled my mission.”

“I trust you will take good care of her moving forward.”

Then, he crouched down to make his gaze level with Qin Wangchuan’s.

He gently tidied her slightly messy hair and patted the dust off her shoulders, expressing his guilt:

“Your brother is still unmarried and lacks experience in taking care of children. I’ve caused you a lot of trouble on the way.”

“Now that you’re with your relatives, you must remember to be obedient.”

“Don’t sass people so freely anymore, alright?”

*From now on,*

*Chuanchuan would be living under someone else’s roof.*

*Just like Jiang Fan had done in the past.*

*The difference was, Jiang Fan still had his father back then, while Chuanchuan was truly all alone.*

*And she was so young, too.*

*Being bullied and treated harshly in the future was, without a doubt, inevitable.*

*Thinking about the bitterness he endured over the years, Jiang Fan couldn’t bear to leave her like this.*

But it was impractical for him to keep her with him indefinitely.

After a moment’s pause, Jiang Fan decisively pulled an exquisite jade box from within his robes.

Inside it was a Demon Core from a Silver Winged Thunderbird.

He turned and handed it to Yu Yingchen, saying, “Old sir.”

“This is the Demon Core of a Silver Winged Thunderbird. Selling it to martial artists would fetch quite a sum.”

*The group of Supreme Elders glanced over at it, momentarily stunned.*

*Well, wasn’t that something.*

*Wasn’t this precisely the Silver Winged Thunderbird’s Demon Core that Xu Qingyang had been searching high and low for?*

*And this little fellow already had one? Unbelievable.*

Yu Yingchen was just as dumbfounded.

*Wait, who was this young man exactly?*

Initially, he thought Qin Wangchuan had been playing pranks and brought along some Handsome Scholar out of nowhere.

*But honestly, what kind of Handsome Scholar could take out such a rare treasure as this?*

“You’re giving this to me?” Yu Yingchen stared at the jade box in front of him, even more puzzled.

Jiang Fan replied, “Consider this Demon Core as compensation for your kind care of her.”

“In light of this Demon Core, I hope you treat her well in the future—don’t hit her, don’t scold her, and don’t starve her or leave her cold.”

“If you truly can’t bear to keep her anymore, send a message back to Green Cloud Sect.”

“I will personally come and take her back.”

*Perhaps it was because he had been drenched by storms himself that he now wanted to hold up an umbrella for others.*

*Jiang Fan simply wanted to take care of Chuanchuan as much as possible.*

*Listening to his heartfelt advice,*

*the group of Supreme Elders, originally prepared to spectate for amusement, couldn’t help but feel moved.*

*For a child he wasn’t even related to, Jiang Fan had shown such deep concern and care.*

*It had been a long time since they’d seen such earnestness from someone so young.*

Yu Yingchen felt the jade box in his hands grow heavier.

He shot an accusatory glance at Qin Wangchuan.

*How could you have the heart to mock such a good boy?*

The rest of the Supreme Elders, to varying degrees, also cast disapproving looks Qin Wangchuan’s way.

“Isn’t this going too far?”

“In this day and age, where can you even find kids as good as him? And yet you’re teasing him!”

“Breaking his heart—let’s hope your conscience can handle it!”

*Qin Wangchuan was so angry she nearly coughed up blood.*

*Who was teasing him?!*

*I’ve been protecting him the entire way, thank you very much!*

She blurted out in frustration, “Why are you all so naggy? Just leave already!”

*Was he determined to make her utterly humiliated?*

Jiang Fan stroked her head and said, “Alright, then your brother will take his leave.”

“Until we meet again.”

“Chuanchuan.”

*Huh?*

*What did he call her?*

*Chuanchuan?*

*Every single Supreme Elder present—without exception—was utterly floored.*

*Someone actually dared to call Green Cloud Sect’s little fiery dragon ‘Chuanchuan’?*

*The sheer contrast made even these Supreme Elders struggle to keep composed.*

*Some covered their mouths to stifle giggles,*

*while others had their lips twitching uncontrollably, trying to suppress their amusement.*

*Qin Wangchuan’s small face flushed red as hot embarrassment overwhelmed her.*

*Her foot kept nervously digging at the ground.*

*She wanted nothing more than to find a hole to crawl into then and there!*

*If this wasn’t total social death, then what was?!*

*Seeing how they wouldn’t stop laughing, Qin Wangchuan snapped.*

“If I’m dying of embarrassment, then everyone dies with me! I won’t be the only one humiliated!”

“Jiang Fan! Don’t leave just yet!”

Qin Wangchuan stopped Jiang Fan in his tracks and said, “Tell that white-haired old woman what you did at the Supreme Sect disciple competition.”

*Uh—*

*Jiang Fan looked completely baffled.*

*What was up with these old folks laughing?*

*And why was Qin Wangchuan making him talk about those Martial Path stories?*

“You gonna talk or not?” Qin Wangchuan demanded, stomping her foot.

Jiang Fan said, puzzled, “What’s there to talk about?”

“I tore through the Supreme Sect’s elite disciples, which made the Supreme Sect Master so mad that he complained to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. But they wouldn’t understand that stuff, right?”

*The white-haired woman laughing uncontrollably happened to be one of the Supreme Sect’s Supreme Elders.*

*Upon hearing this, her expression froze and went stiff.*

*The other Supreme Elders stared at her, astonished.*

“Wait—this actually happened?”

“Hold on, isn’t this boy supposed to be a new disciple?”

“How could he possibly cut through the Supreme Sect’s elite disciples?”

“And the Supreme Sect Master filed a complaint out of anger? This sounds absurd!”

*Qin Wangchuan snickered coldly. “What’s wrong? Not laughing anymore? Did you lose interest in laughing, old lady?”*

*The Supreme Elder from the Supreme Sect grew red in the face, clearly embarrassed.*

She muttered awkwardly, “It’s… it’s all in the past, best to leave it alone, best to leave it alone.”

*That incident was truly a disgrace for the Supreme Sect.*

*They thought it had been buried and forgotten.*

*Who would’ve guessed, the boy Qin Wangchuan brought with her turned out to be Jiang Fan!*

*And he just spilled everything right out in the open!*

*Her old face had nowhere left to hide.*

But Qin Wangchuan wasn’t ready to let up just yet.

“And, Jiang Fan! Play a tune for that old man holding the erhu there!”

Jiang Fan hesitated. “That wouldn’t be appropriate.”

“My musical technique is from Heavenly Sound Sect—it might harm people.”

*Wait, what?*

*The old man clutching the erhu was none other than a Supreme Elder of Heavenly Sound Sect.*

*Moments ago, he had proudly declared himself Qin Wangchuan’s second grandaunt and had joined in the hearty laughter.*

When he heard Jiang Fan, he chuckled and said, “Young man, you’re saying you know techniques from Heavenly Sound Sect? How come I don’t know that?”

*Heavenly Sound Sect’s techniques were never passed on casually.*

*And even if they were, few could truly grasp their secrets.*

*He certainly didn’t believe that Jiang Fan had mastered anything from Heavenly Sound Sect.*
