Supreme Emptiness

Qin Wangchuan stomped her foot anxiously and gritted her teeth, saying, "You go quickly!"

"Don't embarrass me!"

She couldn't imagine Jiang Fan calling her Chuanchuan in front of a bunch of old folks.

Jiang Fan frowned and said, "Stop messing around! I'll leave after I drop you off at home."

"Old sir, please lead the way!"

Yu Yingchen was delighted to see Qin Wangchuan in an awkward situation. He laughed until his eyes almost turned into slits: "Alright, alright, come with me, quickly!"

Qin Wangchuan bit her silver teeth in shame and anger.

At this moment, she didn't want to reveal her identity in front of Jiang Fan.

So she kept blocking the way.

But to Jiang Fan, it seemed like she was just throwing a tantrum, so he ignored it.

Until they finally arrived at a grand mansion.

"Kong Mansion."

Jiang Fan looked surprised. It seemed the Sect Master of the Giant Sect had the surname Kong, didn't he?

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

With curiosity, he followed Yu Yingchen into the mansion's back garden.

There, he saw several elderly men and women chatting in small groups.

When they saw Qin Wangchuan arriving, they all stepped forward to greet her.

Fortunately, Yu Yingchen spoke first: "Wangchuan has come to seek refuge with us family members. You should all treat her well from now on."

Family members?

All those present were the Supreme Elders of various sects.

They were no fools.

After a brief pause, their gazes shifted between Jiang Fan and Qin Wangchuan, understanding most of the situation.

So they nodded in agreement.

A few who were close to Qin Wangchuan even used the opportunity to get closer.

"Young man, don't worry. I'm Wangchuan's great-aunt. I'll take good care of him."

"And I'm her second great-aunt."

"I'm her third great-aunt."

…

The veins on Qin Wangchuan's forehead bulged violently.

Her temper was about to explode.

Seeing this, Jiang Fan felt relieved.

So she really was Chuanchuan's family.

He cupped his hands and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, on Elder Wen's orders from the Green Cloud Sect, I've escorted her to you."

"She has arrived safely, and I've not failed my mission."

"I hope you will take good care of her in the future."

Then he squatted down, making eye contact with Qin Wangchuan.

He straightened her slightly messy hair and patted the dust off her shoulders, saying with a guilty tone:

"Brother is not yet married and has no experience taking care of children. You've suffered along the way."

"Now that you're with your family, remember to be obedient."

"Don't talk back to people unnecessarily, got it?"

From now on,

Chuanchuan would be dependent on others.

Just like Jiang Fan was back then.

The difference was, Jiang Fan still had his father, while Chuanchuan was truly alone.

And she was so young.

Being bullied and mistreated in the future was almost inevitable.

Thinking about his own bitter experiences over the years, Jiang Fan couldn't bear to leave her like this.

But keeping her with him all the time was unrealistic.

He thought for a while, then decisively took out a jade box from his pocket.

Inside was a demon core of a Silver-winged Thunderbird.

He handed it over to Yu Yingchen, saying, "Old sir,"

"This is a demon core of a Silver-winged Thunderbird. Selling it to a martial artist can fetch quite a sum."

The Supreme Elders all looked over, stunned.

Good heavens.

Wasn't this the Silver-winged Thunderbird demon core that Xu Qingyang had been looking for?

This young man actually had one?

Yu Yingchen also looked at him in astonishment.

Who was this young man?

He had initially thought Qin Wangchuan was playing a trick, but where did she find this handsome scholar?

But which scholar would carry such a rare item?

"You're giving it to me?" Yu Yingchen looked at the jade box in confusion.

Jiang Fan said, "This demon core is payment for your care of her."

"In exchange for the core, I hope you will treat her well in the future, don't hit her, don't scold her, and don't let her go hungry or cold."

"If you really can't keep her, send a message to the Green Cloud Sect."

"I'll come to take her back myself."

Maybe because he had once been through hardships, he wanted to shelter others from the rain.

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

Listening to his heartfelt advice.

The Supreme Elders, who had just come to watch the fun, were moved.

For a child he didn't even know, Jiang Fan took such good care of her.

It had been a long time since they had seen such a sincere disciple.

Yu Yingchen felt the weight of the jade box in his hand.

He couldn't help but look reproachfully at Qin Wangchuan.

How could you bear to tease such a good child?

The other Supreme Elders also glanced at Qin Wangchuan with varying degrees of disapproval.

"Aren't you going too far?"

"In today's world, where do you find such good kids? And you're teasing him!"

"Hurting his feelings, do you have any conscience!"

Qin Wangchuan was almost furious to the point of vomiting blood.

Who was teasing him?

I've been protecting him all the way, okay?

She said angrily, "Why are you being so naggy? Just go already!"

Did she have to lose face before he left?

Jiang Fan patted her head and said, "Alright, then brother will leave now."

"See you again, if fate allows."

"Chuanchuan."

Huh?

What did he just call her?

Chuanchuan?

The Supreme Elders present, one and all, were stunned.

Someone actually called the Little Tyrant of the Green Cloud Sect Chuanchuan?

The huge contrast left these Supreme Elders unable to hold back.

Some covered their mouths and laughed out loud.

Others' mouths twitched uncontrollably, trying hard to suppress their laughter.

Qin Wangchuan's face turned hot and red.

Her feet kept scuffing the ground.

She wished she could find a hole to crawl into!

Talk about social death!

This was it!

Seeing them laughing non-stop, Qin Wangchuan was enraged.

"If I die, we're all dying together. I can't be embarrassed alone!"

"Jiang Fan! Don't leave yet!"

Qin Wangchuan called out to Jiang Fan, "Tell that white-haired old woman,"

"What you did during the competition with the Supreme Sect disciples?"

Uh—

Jiang Fan looked puzzled.

What were these old people laughing about?

Why was Qin Wangchuan asking him to talk about martial path stuff?

"Will you say it?" Qin Wangchuan stamped her foot.

Jiang Fan said perplexed, "What's there to say?"

"I killed the Supreme Sect elite disciples and provoked the Supreme Sect Master to report me to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, As if they would understand."

The white-haired old woman, laughing uncontrollably, was indeed a Supreme Elder of the Supreme Sect.

Her face froze at his words.

The other Supreme Elders looked at her in astonishment.

"Is that true?"

"Isn't this kid a new disciple?"

"He could defeat your current elite disciples?"

"And provoke the Supreme Sect Master to report him? This sounds too unbelievable."

Qin Wangchuan sneered, "Why aren't you laughing? Not so funny now, huh?"

The Supreme Elder of the Supreme Sect's face turned red with embarrassment.

She stammered, "It's... it's all in the past. Let's not talk about it."

This event was a disgrace to the Supreme Sect.

She had thought no one knew.

But who would have guessed that the boy brought by Qin Wangchuan was that Jiang Fan!

And he revealed everything!

She felt like she had no place to hide her old face.

But Qin Wangchuan wasn't done.

"And, Jiang Fan, play a tune for that old man holding the erhu."

Jiang Fan frowned, "That might not be a good idea."

"What I play uses Heavenly Sound Sect's techniques, it could hurt people."

Hmm?

The old man holding the erhu was a Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Sound Sect.

He had just claimed to be Qin Wangchuan's second great-aunt and laughed heartily.

He said with a smile, "Young man, you know the techniques of the Heavenly Sound Sect? How come I don't know that?"

The techniques of the Heavenly Sound Sect were never passed on to outsiders.

Even if passed on, they were not easily comprehended.

He didn't believe that Jiang Fan knew the techniques of the Heavenly Sound Sect.
