After settling his siblings, Jiang Xiaobai and AnRan sat on a terrace, looking at the star-lit night outside. Jiang Xiaobai’s face was grave.
It was foreseeable that the ancient clan would soon discover the news of his presence within Wuyang City.
This place was about to become unsettled, and it was impossible for the ancient clan to refrain from sending someone after Jiang Xiaobai.
Even though Wuyang City was under the control of the northwestern branch of the An Family, they probably did not wish to confront the ancient clan at the moment. Therefore, Jiang Xiaobai would likely have to face this situation alone.
“Boss, my parents sent a message apologizing,” AnRan, looking downcast, said to Jiang Xiaobai, his fists clenched, his nails digging almost into his flesh.
He resented his lack of power to help Jiang Xiaobai but understood his family’s situation.
The ancient clan was mighty. Although Mu Qingyu’s Mu Family was also one of the top institutions in Northern State, with a strength comparable to the ancient clan, the ancient clan was now supported by Hai Xianzong.
Besides, the An Family was preparing to venture into a secret territory and their actions needed to remain discreet. It would be best if no incidents occurred at this critical moment.
Therefore, the An Family was helpless to assist Jiang Xiaobai at present.
“But my parents have said that they could let Uncle Fu escort you out of Wuyang City. As for where to go…”
“Then let’s make a trip to the Northern State.”
Suddenly, Jiang Xiaibai let out a light laugh.
The moment AnRan heard this, he stood up abruptly, “Boss, have you gone mad? Going to Northern State now is like seeking death!”
“Right now, Northern State is almost entirely under the ancient clan’s control. One of the three transcendental powers, Hai Xianzong, is located in Northern State. That’s the ancient clan’s home turf!”
“Do you believe that the moment you appear in the Northern State, you would be stalked, and the ancient clan would send an endless stream of formidable fighters to deal with you?”
AnRan became somewhat frantic. He could not fathom what was going through Jiang Xiaobai’s mind. Was he really planning to go to Northern State?
Why? To deliver his head on a platter?
I dare you to betray me!
“Don’t worry so much. I, your boss, have seen all sorts of troubles. It’s just a trip to Northern State, which I’m supposed to be going anyway,” Jiang Xiaobai gazed at the moon in the night sky, sighing, “After all, whether I die sooner or later, I must go where I’m meant to. But relax, I’ll just be stirring things up a bit.”
“Making the ancient clan unhappy will be my greatest joy!”
Suddenly, AnRan fell silent. Naturally, he knew Jiang Xiaobai had planned to enter Northern State; there was no doubt about that.
As they had been together for all this time, AnRan understood Jiang Xiaobai’s vengeful nature. He had deep grievances with the ancient clan, and the clan had even once sent people to capture him in the Thousand Yuan Dynasty.
If Jiang Xiaobai did not take revenge, he would not be Jiang Xiaobai anymore.
Thinking of this, AnRan gritted his teeth, “Boss, I will accompany you!”
“Go, go, go, stop causing trouble.”
Jiang Xiaobai waved his hand impatiently, “It’s settled then. We’ll make a trip to the Northern State, just for a month at most. I assure you I’ll be back.”
“I’ll bring a woman from Northern State back with me. Then you can have a good time. Don’t think I don’t know you’re still a virgin.”
“Cut it out, you’re the same!”
AnRan pouted petulantly, “You’re married and haven’t even had your wedding night. You’re in no position to criticize me!”
Jiang Xiaobai did not take AnRan’s teasing to heart and instead gazed at the moon in the sky, feeling lost.
It was time to hit the road again, in a rush, always rushing here and there.
Nevertheless, Jiang Xiaobai always knew that the mighty always walked alone. It was only the weak who clung together!
“That’s it, let’s go.”
Suddenly, Jiang Xiaobai stood up and lightly leaped off the terrace. After a few leaps, he disappeared into the night.
It was a hasty departure.
AnRan watched Jiang Xiaobai’s retreating figure and clenched his fists tightly.
“Don’t worry, Boss. I won’t let you down. I will keep up with your pace.”
“Now it’s time to see what I can achieve as part of the Anwu Family!”
The next morning, the tranquility of Wuyang City was gradually interrupted as usual, with more and more pedestrians crowding the streets.
From the moment Jiang Xiaobai left, AnRan had been sitting on the terrace, continuously drinking tea without knowing how many cups he had consumed.
He was constantly worried about Jiang Xiaobai.
Just as AnRan was about to get up to prepare for tonight’s auction, a dramatic procession appeared within his line of sight.
This group strutted through the city, attracting attention. The young man leading the group was arrogant and wild, a hot-headed youth who no one dared to provoke.
Recognizing the dragon-emblazoned attire the young man was wearing, AnRan knew who had arrived.
The group quickly entered the Anwu residence and AnRan went to meet them.
“Are you Ao Cheng?” AnRan inquired, looking at the man standing before him.
Ao Cheng scowled, not uttering a word, but one of his new subordinates immediately rebuked AnRan, “How dare you call the esteemed prince of Dragon Valley by his name, what’s your status?”
“To Hell with you!”
AnRan retorted coldly, “I am Jiang Xiaobai’s brother.”
As soon as these words left his mouth, Ao Cheng booted the subordinate who was about to confront AnRan.
“Indeed, that dog Jiang Xiaobai is here. Where is he? Call him out, I want to settle scores with him,” Ao Cheng said angrily.
“Let’s go inside and talk.”
With a sigh, AnRan led Ao Cheng toward the main hall, only to see Zhuang Huanling accompanying them.
Why did this woman come along?
Once they were seated, AnRan did not hesitate to divulge Jiang Xiaobai’s journey to Northern State. After all, they were all on the same side.
Upon hearing the news, Ao Cheng slammed the table, pacing furiously.
“That damn Jiang Xiaobai, has he been kicked in the head by a donkey? How dare he go to Northern State now?”
“Is he deliberately courting death?”
“That son of a bitch, he made me come all this way for nothing!”
Ao Cheng exclaimed, “Do you have his communication token? Contact him immediately and order him to get back here.”
“I do have it, but I’ve tried contacting him. The boss is not picking up.”
When AnRan delivered this news, everyone fell into silence,
Only Zhuang Huanling understood what Jiang Xiaobai meant.
Firstly, he didn’t wish to involve the An Family. Secondly, his vengeful nature compelled him to disrupt the peace of the ancient clan.
At that moment, Ao Cheng stamped his foot.
“Damn it, last time I failed to protect him, I admit I broke my word. But I won’t allow that to happen again this time.”
“Brothers, brothers, I must really be a sucker!”
After saying this, he dashed off, with Zhuang Huanling trying to stop him, “Where are you going?”
“To Northern State, what else?”
“I absolutely can’t allow my brother to face this alone again; this time, I’m here to bring him back home. Even if he runs to the ends of the earth, I am determined to find him!” Ao Cheng stated effortlessly.
