Chapter 32 Landing on the Island
In front of the dark and deep tunnel, Jiang Tan summoned his own magical weapon and looked at the elegant man in front of him with murderous intent.
The man was clearly at a loss, but still said in a friendly manner, "Miss, have we ever been enemies before?"
Jian Anning still remembered what Jiang Tan wanted to do most when he returned to Yingzhou, so she tentatively asked, "Jiang Qing?"
The man just had a slightly strange look on his face and didn't answer.
It was Jiang Tan who spoke up again: "He is Chu Qinghe."
Chu Qinghe seemed unaware of the danger. He bowed to Jian Anning and her group, fanned his feather fan, and said, "It is I."
Fan Qingyue showed a look of surprise on his face, but he restrained himself and said nothing.
But Lu Fei was different. Perhaps because of his memory loss, he didn't notice the strange atmosphere at the moment and said blankly, "Then he is your father?"
Chu Qinghe was obviously stunned. He glanced at Jiang Tan again and said, "Are you Jiang Tan?"
Even Jian Anning was a little surprised and asked directly, "Doesn't your father recognize you?"
"Because when he was kicked out of the Jiang family, I was still very young, only about eleven or twelve years old."
Jian An Ning was a little curious about what Jiang Tan's father had done to be kicked out of the house.
However, the most important task now is to go to Yingzhou Island first and find a way to treat Jiang Tan's injuries, and to prevent things from developing according to what is written in the book.
So Jian An Ning slapped Jiang Tan's longbow and said, "Now is not the time to reminisce about the past. I have already paid for the ticket. You have to take us to Yingzhou Island."
Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "Of course."
After that, he handed each of the four of them a small white disc and said, "This tunnel is different from a boat. It was forcibly opened in the restriction, and the different restriction formation patterns are connected to form a special formation passage."
"You need to hold this under your tongue, otherwise, it won't pass properly."
"What if you don't eat it?"
Jane Anning frowned and looked at the small disc and said.
Chu Qinghe's smile made people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze, like a graceful gentleman. Then he said, "It's either death or injury."
Jane Anning: Haha.
She was least afraid of this kind of threat.
Jian Anning slapped the pills out of the hands of her disciples, then raised her arm and said with a smile, "Please lead the way."
Chu Qinghe's expression was obviously a little stiff, but he was still very well-mannered. He continued to smile and walked to the front of the team, saying, "I am not responsible for your life or death."
"Let's go." Jian An Ning said unwillingly.
Perhaps because the tunnel was built on the seabed, there was no sunlight at all and it was very depressing. Only a few scattered luminous pearls dotted on it brought some light.
In addition to this, Jane Anning also felt another unpleasant smell. She felt a little dizzy and could not remember the specific name of the smell. She only felt that she was very disgusted with it.
Moreover, the faint smell in the tunnel made her very irritated, and she wished she could open up the tunnel.
Fortunately, the long road finally comes to an end, and they finally see the dawn of hope again.
Jian An Ning jumped out directly. Fan Qingyue and Jiang Tan were also in bad condition, but Lu Fei looked like nothing happened.
He also stepped forward and tried to help Jane Anning up.
But perhaps because she had just come out of the tunnel, Lu Fei was also covered with the kind of aura that Jian An Ning hated. She waved her hands repeatedly and said, "Stay away from me for now."
Lu Fei was silent, walked away with his head down, feeling a little sad.
Does Jian Anning hate him? Lu Fei heard a voice in her ear saying.
At the same time, another voice sounded in his heart.
Of course not. Look, she is still carrying the peach blossom you gave her.
Just as Lu Fei was torn between two thoughts, Chu Qinghe stood in the tunnel, smiled at them, and said, "I wish you all the best in Yingzhou Island."
After saying that, he turned and went back into the tunnel.
Only at this time did Jiang Tan put down the longbow in his hand, but he still stood there without moving.
"What's wrong?" Fan Qingyue asked softly.
"Every time Chu Qinghe appears in my life, something bad happens," Jiang Tan whispered, "I'm just worried about what will happen this time."
Jian An Ning gently patted Jiang Tan's shoulder and said in a light tone, "Don't worry, how could anything happen with your master here?"
Although Jian Anning's tone was not solemn, Jiang Tan still felt that his heart was miraculously soothed.
Then, Jian An Ning said, "Where is the Jiang family's residence? You still need to hurry and treat your injury."
Jiang Tan looked around.
The end of the tunnel is actually behind a reef on the seashore. It is in a very good location. The reef blocks the entrance tightly, but it does not prevent people behind the reef from observing in other directions.
"This is probably near Silvermoon City," Jiang Tan said after looking for a while. "If we follow that path that people have worn, we'll probably reach Silvermoon City."
"The Jiang Mansion is in Silver Moon City."
Then Jian Anning listened to Jiang Tan's introduction: "There are seven cities on Yingzhou Island, distributed in the shape of the Big Dipper, with Silver Moon City at the head."
Jian An Ning nodded slightly, and as they talked, they walked to the city gate.
At the gate stood soldiers in armor, their expressions solemn. Seeing they were about to enter Silvermoon City, they stopped them and said, "Pass."
Jane Anning:?
Why is this pass still lingering around?
Jiang Tan stepped forward and said to the soldier guarding the gate, "I am a descendant of the Jiang family. In the past, there was no such thing as a pass on Yingzhou Island."
However, the soldiers, like the monks who were in charge of handling the boat tickets, tried to comfort him, saying, "On Yingzhou Island, you can find a lot of people with the surname Jiang even if you throw rocks at them, but not everyone with the surname Jiang can get close to the Jiang family."
Jiang Tan: ...
Jiang Tan decided to give up struggling and asked again, "I wonder why there's a pass on the island? Did something happen?"
Jiang Tan was worried from the bottom of his heart, so he asked directly.
The soldier thought for a moment, then said, "It's probably because some time ago, someone from outside Yingzhou Island sneaked into the island with the intention of stealing from the Jiang family, but was discovered."
"So the second son of the Jiang family decided to take the measure of issuing a pass."
Jiang Tan was slightly stunned and thought: Jiang Qing?
The soldier spread his hands and continued, "After all, the people outside the island are a mixed bunch. Who knows what kind of heart is hidden under that human skin?"
Jiang Tan frowned and instinctively realized that something was wrong.
Logically speaking, the people on Yingzhou Island despise people from outsiders very much, and would definitely not use words like "good and bad people mixed together".
"What else did Jiang Qing do?"
The soldier glanced at her with some disapproval, as if to ask why she could address him directly as Second Young Master Jiang. However, he continued to speak to Jiang Tan, "Some time ago, the head of the Jiang family was attacked by someone from outside the island. Their methods were extremely vicious. Fortunately, Second Young Master found some capable people from outside the island to rescue him, and only then was the danger averted."
"The Jiang family also treated those two extraordinary people as honored guests. It is even said that this pass was issued by the Second Young Master after heeding the advice of those two extraordinary people."
Jiang Tan's brows furrowed more and more, she always felt that something was wrong.
"First, the Jiang family was robbed, and then the head of the family was injured, and two capable men came to the rescue?"
Jiang Tan spoke so directly that even the soldier easily understood what she meant.
He smiled and said, "I understand what you mean. Most people in Yingzhou would think the same way. They suspect that the people outside the island failed to steal at first and then changed their strategy."
"But you're wrong here. It was the head of the Jiang family who was injured, and those two came to his rescue first. The Jiang family was robbed later. Moreover, those two were guests at the Jiang family on the night of the theft. Everyone present can prove their innocence."
"More importantly, someone saw the thief and took a lock of his hair during the fight."
"According to that person, the thief's moves were very strange, unlike any of the schools circulating in the world today. However, Patriarch Jiang used magic to sense that the thief also had the blood of an aristocratic family."
Now not only Jiang Tan, but Jian An Ning also became interested in this. She stepped forward excitedly and was about to continue asking questions when she heard a scolding voice suddenly coming from not far away.
"I see you've been here for a long time, yet you refuse to show your passes or leave, and you're even pestering the guards. What's your intention?"
The person who was speaking was wearing a gorgeous purple robe and had a long sword inlaid with gems on his waist. No one knew what magical effect the sword had or whether it was just beautiful.
Jiang Tan actually didn't recognize him very well. After all, when she left home, people of the same generation were still young, so it was natural that they would change a lot after growing up.
But when she saw the city guards bowing to the man in unison and shouting "Second Young Master" in unison, she was really surprised.
"We are not bad people," Jian An Ning said with a smile, "We are cultivators from the Qingyun Sect. Many members of the Jiang family practice in the Qingyun Sect, so we are not outsiders."
It was rare for Jian An Ning to speak in a serious manner, which made Fan Qingyue look at her sideways.
However, Jiang Qing didn't appreciate it. Instead, he snorted coldly and said, "Those who left Yingzhou are worthy of being called Jiang family members? They are just a bunch of losers who have no chance of inheriting the inheritance."
There was a strong sense of contempt and disdain in his words, and Jiang Tan felt a surge of anger rising in his heart when he heard it.
She walked straight forward, grabbed Jiang Qing by the collar, and pushed him directly against the city wall.
The incident happened extremely suddenly. The surrounding city guards did not react, and even Jian An Ning did not react.
Jiang Tan had a cold expression on his face, and it looked like he wanted to kill Jiang Qing right in front of everyone.
The overwhelming murderous intent finally frightened Jiang Qing. He quickly shouted, "I am the only heir to the Jiang family. If you let me go, I can promise you endless wealth and glory!"
Jiang Tan sneered and didn't take it seriously at all.
Seeing that his attempts at bribery and threats were fruitless, Jiang Qing repeatedly shouted, "Grandpa! Someone wants to kill me!"
Everyone present could feel the pressure of the Nascent Soul stage coming down in an instant. It wasn't that Jiang Zan arrived instantly, but that Jiang Qing crushed the life-saving talisman that Jiang Zan gave him.
He said to Jiang Tan viciously, "Just wait for my grandfather to grind you into pieces."
Jiang Tan still had that indifferent look on his face, but he finally said to Jiang Qing, "Do you know who I am?"
