Chapter 1414 - 1414 Great Demonic Cultivator Ye Qingchen (1)
1414 Great Demonic Cultivator Ye Qingchen (1)
When the magic paintings in Zhan Wuya’s two residences completely transformed, Zhan Jiuxiao, who was in seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes.
Huh?
Zhan Jiuxiao stared at the pitch-black seclusion chamber as he muttered with a serious expression, “The Demon Body is completed?” Zhan Jiuxiao couldn’t help but stand up and walk out of the seclusion chamber.
Zhan Jiuxiao’s secret chamber was also located in the place with the densest spiritual energy in the back mountain of the inner city. It was next to the place where the disciples were in seclusion. However, the disciples’ seclusion rooms were all in the periphery of the back mountain, and the place where he was in seclusion was in the middle of the mountain peak.
!!
Seeing that Zhan Jiuxiao had ended his seclusion early, Mr. Tai Lan, who was guarding outside the secret chamber, hurriedly stood up and walked towards him. Then, he asked in shock, “Patriarch, why did you end your seclusion early?” Before his seclusion, Zhan Jiuxiao had instructed Tai Lan that his seclusion would take at least two months.
However, only a week had pa.s.sed since Zhan Jiuxiao entered the seclusion chamber.
This seclusion ended too quickly.
Zhan Jiuxiao looked at the inner city outside the mountain and said, “I feel uneasy.” Zhan Jiuxiao asked Tai Lan, “Was everything okay during the few days I’ve been in seclusion?”
Mr. Tai Lan hesitated.
Seeing this, Zhan Jiuxiao narrowed his eyes with an intimidating aura. “Speak!”
As soon as Zhan Jiuxiao spoke, Mr. Tai Lan didn’t dare to hide it anymore. He bent down even lower and lowered his head as he said uneasily, “Miss, Miss…”
When he heard Zhan Jianxue’s name, Zhan Jiuxiao’s expression turned cold. “What trouble did she cause again?!” Zhan Jiuxiao snorted. “This girl is getting more and more disobedient. The discipline she received for the past few months were all useless!”
Mr. Tai Lan felt extremely uneasy when he heard the anger in the Patriarch’s tone.
Zhan Jianxue had done stupid things time and time again and repeatedly crossed the Patriarch’s bottom line, so the Patriarch had completely lost his patience with Zhan Jianxue. Thinking of what the Patriarch had said that day, Mr. Tai Lan was really worried that Zhan Jianxue would be abandoned by the Patriarch.
Mr. Tai Lan didn’t understand why the Patriarch was so heartless to Zhan Jianxue. He had watched Zhan Jianxue grow up, so even as a servant, he doted on her. As her father, why was the Patriarch so cold and heartless?
In the past, the Patriarch had doted on Zhan Jianxue as well.
Could it be that the Patriarch had completely lost his affection for Zhan Jianxue just because she had hurt Xiaoya?
Seeing the coldness and killing intent in the Patriarch’s eyes, Mr. Tai Lan’s heart skipped a beat. He fiddled his fingers uneasily as he lowered his head and stammered, “Patriarch, you ordered that Zhan Jianxue is strictly prohibited from leaving the inner city, but yesterday morning, Zhan Jianxue used some method to avoid our guards and secretly left the inner city. As for where she went…”
Mr. Tai Lan shook his head slightly and lamented, “We haven’t found out yet.”
When he heard this, the coldness in Zhan Jiuxiao’s eyes softened slightly and he asked, “She only sneaked out?”
“Yes, she didn’t do anything wrong.” Mr. Tai Lan wanted to put in a good word for Zhan Jianxue.
Zhan Jiuxiao shook his head and muttered, “Sneaking out isn’t a big mistake, but if she sneaked out and caused a huge disaster outside, she should be killed.”
Upon hearing this, Mr. Tai Lan remained silent, for fear that he would say something wrong and anger Zhan Jiuxiao.
“Patriarch, why did you suddenly end your seclusion? Did something happen?” Mr. Tai Lan raised the previous question.
“I forgot to settle some private matters.” With that, Zhan Jiuxiao left Tai Lan and disappeared from the spot.
When Tai Lan saw the Patriarch leave in a hurry, he couldn’t help but frown in confusion.
What happened to the Patriarch for him to be in such a hurry?
Mr. Tai Lan had watched Zhan Jiuxiao grow up and had been personally chosen by the old patriarch to be Zhan Jiuxiao’s personal attendant. When he was young, Zhan Jiuxiao had a gentle temper. Although he was arrogant, he had never relied on his status to suppress the people around him.
However, for some reason, ever since the old Patriarch pa.s.sed away and the Patriarch took over the War G.o.d Clan, his personality had become unpredictable.
He looked gentle and approachable, but he was irritable and moody.
Occasionally, he would say something that made Tai Lan feel unfamiliar and afraid.
At first, Tai Lan found it strange, but after being by Zhan Jiuxiao’s side for so many years, Tai Lan was already used to Zhan Jiuxiao’s unpredictable personality. He understood a principle very well. If the Patriarch was unwilling to reveal it, he should not ask, investigate, or ponder over it.
