Chapter 697: A Necklace

The five words Hai Changsheng spoke made the already puzzled Jiang Yun almost jump up in surprise.

I’m sorry? Thank you?

Spirit of the Boundary Sea apologized and thanked itself!

What is going on here?

Next, Hai Changsheng suddenly reached out his hand and gently pointed towards Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun almost instinctively tried to dodge, but before he could, he immediately felt a gentle force entering his body.

Then, something flew out and landed in Hai Changsheng’s hand.

It was a necklace!

Embedded on the snowflake-white base was a blue stone resembling a water droplet, emitting a soft and radiant glow.

Holding onto the necklace, Hai Changsheng’s face softened even more, his gaze towards the necklace was as if he was looking at a lover.

Watching Hai Changsheng at that moment, Jiang Yun’s mind suddenly exploded.

Because he suddenly realized that this Hai Changsheng, as the Spirit of the Boundary Sea, was also the culprit behind the Calamity of the Mountain-Sea World!

This necklace was given to herself by Xue Qing when she was about to leave the Mountain-Sea World!

Xue Qing is not purely from the Snow clan, her mother is from the Snow clan, but her father is from the Sea clan!

Naturally, this necklace with both the characteristics of the sea and the white snow, although Xue Qing did not explain, it is not hard to guess that it must have been left to her by her parents.

And at this moment, as Hai Changsheng looked at the necklace, Jiang Yun finally realized—

He, Hai Changsheng, is Xue Qing’s father!

However, he is not from the Sea clan at all, but from the Spirit of the Boundary Sea!

As for his apologies and thanks to himself, it is naturally because he saved Xue Qing and safely sent her away, while he continued to act against himself time and time again.

In this moment, Jiang Yun’s mind was already chaotic, completely losing the ability to think, just standing there with blank eyes, motionless.

At that moment, Hai Changsheng’s voice sounded again, bringing Jiang Yun back to reality from the chaos.

"There’s someone you should meet!"

Jiang Yun still had a blank look on his face as he watched another figure emerge from Boundary Sea. He was stunned for a moment before blurting out, "It’s you!"

Standing in front of Jiang Yun at that moment was a woman wearing a mask over her face.

Although her face was completely covered, Jiang Yun recognized her at a glance. She was Hai Yixue, the Sea clan woman he had met when he first returned from Mirage to Mountain-Sea World.

She had even appeared in his dreams before.

He had a deep impression of her not only because he knew her name but also because she seemed to have eyes that could see everything.

She could easily unravel almost all of Jiang Yun’s secrets.

Especially before leaving, she mentioned that there was a soul inside Jiang Yun’s body that looked just like him but had aged considerably.

Hai Yixue gently nodded and said, "It’s me!"

Jiang Yun stood there, not knowing what to say at all.

The sudden changes made him feel like he was in a dream.

"I think you understand now, Yixue and Qing’er are both my daughters!" Hai Changsheng spoke again.

"I didn’t know before that you helped Qing’er leave, Yixue just told me."

At this point, with a reluctant look in his eyes, Hai Changsheng took back the necklace from Hai Yixue and handed it to Jiang Yun, saying, "Alright, you quickly leave with Jiang Yun!"

"Dad…"

Looking at her father, who had a pale but loving expression, Hai Yixue couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

Although she had asked her father to help save Jiang Yun, she had never imagined that her father would be so badly injured.

In his own memories, even though it had been a long time since his father showed such kindness to him, he had never seen his father so weak before.

Hai Changsheng urged again, "Stop dawdling, hurry and walk into the depths of Boundary Sea, maybe there’s a chance to escape from this person’s pursuit!"

Before Hai Yixue could speak, Jiang Yun, who had finally regained his senses, coldly said, "Hai Changsheng, I helped Xue Qing and them not because of you, so you don’t need to thank me, and I don’t need you to rescue me either!"

Despite Hai Changsheng’s several helping hands and being Xue Qing’s father, Jiang Yun couldn’t just overlook Hai Changsheng’s act of unleashing the Calamity of the Mountain-Sea World, killing millions of creatures.

He would never again accept Hai Changsheng’s favors and let him take his place to face Yue Qing.

"Today, no one can save Jiang Yun!"

Just then, Yue Qing’s voice suddenly rang out and he appeared beside Jiang Yun.

However, he didn’t look at Hai Changsheng, instead gazing ahead at a woman emerging from the golden lotus not far away.

"Dao Lianer?"

Upon seeing her, Yue Qing immediately recognized Dao Lianer with a furrowed brow and a cold expression, asking, "Dao Lianer! It seems like you have been following me all this while?"

"Our Seeking-Tao Sect and your Dao God Temple have always had a good relationship. We have no quarrels. Why are you following me and even trying to stop me now?"

"You should know the consequences of interfering with the law enforcement of my Dao God Temple, right?"

Up until now, Yue Qing had no idea that Jiang Yun was the sect master of the Mountain-Sea Branch of the Seeking-Tao Sect.

Upon hearing Yue Qing mention the Seeking-Tao Sect, Jiang Yun suddenly understood that Dao Lianer was sent by the Main Seeking-Tao Sect to save him.

After looking deeply at Jiang Yun, Dao Lianer smiled and said, "Dear taoist friend, I am not following you or trying to interfere with your mission. I am just traveling to this Mountain-Sea World like you."

"I never expected to encounter you, the Boundary Patroller, attacking the sect master of my branch."

"Branch sect master?"

Yue Qing was initially confused but eventually understood, maintaining his expression and saying, "Even if he is the sect master of your branch, I will still capture him!"

Dao Lianer blinked and said, "My Taoist friend, even though I don’t know why you want to catch him, can’t we find a compromise for the sake of my Seeking-Tao Sect’s reputation?"

"If my Taoist friend is willing to cooperate, everyone in my Seeking-Tao Sect will treat him well."

This was Dao Lianer’s main goal in coming to the Mountain-Sea World!

Of course, the main Seeking-Tao Sect didn’t want to anger the Dao God Temple, but catching someone, especially from the Desolate World, wasn’t considered very important to them.

That’s why the sect master of the main Seeking-Tao Sect sent Dao Lianer here, to see if they could offer other conditions to make Yue Qing give up on capturing Jiang Yun.

Similar things had happened in the Dao God Temple before.

Even if Yue Qing couldn’t complete the mission and faced some punishment upon returning, as long as the benefits offered by the Dao God Temple outweighed his punishment, then everything could be discussed.

However, after hearing Dao Lianer’s words, Yue Qing coldly smiled and said, "Dao Lianer, if it were someone else, I might consider compromising, but not this person."

"Why? Why do you want to catch him?"

Dao Lianer couldn’t understand the question, and Jiang Yun also wanted to know the answer very much.

After a moment of silence, Yue Qing shook his head and said, "I can’t tell you the reason!"

Yue Qing’s response made Dao Lianer’s smile fade away. She said, "Then, don’t think about taking him away today!"
