Chapter 353: Prepare a Great Gift
Upon hearing this slightly familiar voice, Jiang Yun furrowed his brows at first, but then relaxed.
He remembered who the owner of this voice was!
However, he was puzzled as to why this person, who should be hiding from him, dared to come up to Hidden Peak to find him. He wondered what the matter was.
"Come in!"
As Jiang Yun’s voice fell, the door of the cabin was pushed open from the outside, and a chubby man dressed in outer disciple attire, with a smiling face, walked in.
Seeing Jiang Yun sitting in the middle of the room, the man bowed politely and said, "Martial Brother Jiang, I heard you were back, so I came to see you!"
After looking the man up and down, Jiang Yun smiled and said, "Haven’t seen you in two years, junior brother, your skills have greatly improved. You’re an outer disciple now, congratulations!"
The stout man chuckled and said, "Martial Brother Jiang, you flatter me. My skills are nothing compared to even a single strand of your hair!"
"No need for flattery!"
Jiang Yun’s smile faded slightly as he said, "Bao Yuanqiang, our relationship isn’t that close. Why have you come to me? What’s the matter?"
The man who bullied Lu Xiaoyu on Fang Ruolin’s orders back then, is this person!
Jiang Yun was so angry that he almost killed him.
He never expected that not only had he become an outer disciple now, but also came to visit him on purpose.
Bao Yuanqiang replied with a smile, "I don’t really have any business here. I was asked to bring something for Martial Brother Jiang."
"Who asked you to do this? What are you delivering?"
Bao Yuanqiang’s smile suddenly turned bitter, even lowering his voice as he said, "Martial Brother Jiang, let’s make it clear beforehand, I have nothing to do with this, I don’t know anything."
"I had no choice either, so I hope Martial Brother Jiang won’t blame me!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yun’s pupils shrank slightly, his voice turning cold as he asked, "Did Fang Yuxuan ask you to do this?"
Watching Bao Yuanqiang’s timid and fearful appearance, Jiang Yun could tell that he didn’t want to come, but he also didn’t dare not to.
Within the entire Seeking-Tao Sect, apart from his senior martial sister, he had no other friends, only enemies.
So, naturally, the person who entrusted Bao Yuanqiang to deliver something must be his enemy.
Seeing how frightened Bao Yuanqiang had become, it wasn’t hard to guess that the one who entrusted him must be Fang Yuxuan!
Bao Yuanqiang hurriedly nodded repeatedly, giving Jiang Yun a thumbs up and saying, "Martial Brother Jiang is indeed formidable!"
"Alright, stop talking nonsense. What did he ask you to bring me?"
Despite knowing that Fang Yuxuan would not spare him, Jiang Yun was surprised by how quickly Fang Yuxuan came looking for him.
"A Communication Stone!"
Bao Yuanqiang held out a jade stone to Jiang Yun with both hands.
After taking it, Jiang Yun didn’t immediately crush it. He kept looking at Bao Yuanqiang and asked, "Is this all?"
"Yes, that’s all!"
"You can leave now."
"Yes, yes."
Bao Yuanqiang nodded and bowed before stepping back, but right before leaving, he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Martial Brother Jiang, what happened before was my fault. Please forgive me."
"Hurry, let’s go!"
Although Jiang Yun wanted to hurt him in the beginning, as time passed and after hearing Little Yu was safe, he didn’t hold any grudge against Bao Yuanqiang anymore and wouldn’t bother him.
"Thank you, Martial Brother Jiang. If you need any help in the future, just ask! I’m not good at fighting, but I have other skills!"
Jiang Yun reluctantly waved his hand, signaling the other person to leave quickly. He didn’t need any help from him!
After Bao Yuanqiang left, Jiang Yun carefully examined the Communication Stone in his hand, wondering what message Fang Yuxuan would have for him.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Yun crushed the Communication Stone, and Fang Yuxuan’s voice immediately sounded.
"Jiang Yun, you finally returned. I have been waiting for you!"
"To welcome your return, I have prepared a great gift for you in the Sword Cave of my Fence Tao Peak."
"You better go get it quickly. If you delay, the gift might be destroyed, and you will regret it."
"Also, don’t let anyone know!"
Fang Yuxuan’s voice stopped there, and just as Jiang Yun felt puzzled, suddenly, another voice filled with panic rang out.
"What do you want to do!"
Upon hearing this voice, two cold lights suddenly burst out from Jiang Yun’s eyes!
Because the voice turned out to be Lu Xiaoyu’s!
Although Dongfang Bo had clearly said that Elder Sha Jingshan had sent someone back safely three months ago, now Lu Xiaoyu’s voice unexpectedly appeared in the Communication Stone that Fang Yuxuan gave him, leaving Jiang Yun quite puzzled.
Shouldn’t Lu Xiaoyu be at the Boundary Sea No-Returning Road? How did her voice end up in the Communication Stone? Was she captured by Fang Yuxuan from the No-Returning Road?
"Fang Yuxuan, whether this is true or false, just because you want to harm Xiaoyu, I won’t let you get away with it!"
Jiang Yun knew that Fang Yuxuan harbored deep hatred towards him, so as long as there was a chance for revenge against him, Fang Yuxuan would spare no effort to do it, like killing Lu Xiaoyu.
After all, the main reason why Fang Ruolin was killed was because she bullied Lu Xiaoyu.
As the top disciple of the inner sect, Fang Yuxuan may actually be able to bring back Lu Xiaoyu with the strong support of the Peak Lord of Fence Tao Peak.
Despite knowing that going to Sword Cave means walking into a trap set by the enemy to kill him, Jiang Yun still felt compelled to go.
With this in mind, Jiang Yun stood up tall and walked swiftly towards the gate.
However, just as he was about to push the door open, he hesitated.
Remembering Fang Yuxuan’s warning about not letting anyone know, Jiang Yun realized that he couldn’t leave without attracting attention given his master’s powerful abilities.
Moreover, with only three months left until Mirage opens, his master had instructed him to undergo closed-door cultivation and couldn’t allow him to leave freely.
Then, at that moment, Gu Bulao’s voice sounded in his ears, "You’re unsettled, closed-door cultivation won’t help. Do whatever you need to do, and come back afterwards!"
Feeling relieved, Jiang Yun pushed the door open and bowed deep towards the peak where his master resided, saying, "Thank you, Master!"
After speaking, he turned and walked down Hidden Peak, heading towards Fence Tao Peak!
At the top of the peak, Dao Tianyou looked at Gu Bulao in surprise and said, "Are you really planning to let him go to Sword Cave?"
"Is there something wrong?"
"What is Sword Cave? Don’t you know? Once inside, all magic will fail, only Sword Intent can be used!"
"Jiang Yun may be strong, but without magic, he may not be able to compete with Fang Yuxuan, and besides, Wei Zhengyang might also intervene!"
"Intervene?" Gu Bulao suddenly smiled coldly and said, "Do you think they are sending Jiang Yun to Sword Cave to kill him?"
"Isn’t it?"
"As my disciple, even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn’t dare to kill him, especially with Mirage about to open! They are sending Jiang Yun to Sword Cave just to trap him, it won’t take long, three months is enough!"
Dao Tianyou widened his eyes and said, "You know this and still let Jiang Yun go?"
"Even though the Sword Intent can trap Jiang Yun, it’s actually a good place to understand Sword Intent!"
"You should know, Jiang Yun is weakest in his sword skills now! Why wouldn’t I let him go for such a good opportunity?"
"But if he truly gets trapped and can’t come out for three months, won’t he miss the Mirage opening?"
Gu Bulao suddenly grinned slyly and said, "How about we make a bet?"
