182: Zhou Yan got into trouble

From the outside, what was displayed inside Diaoyun Pavilion were all exquisite carved artifacts.

However, in Jiang Chen's eyes, the carving of these artifacts was actually just a means for the Soul Cultivators within Diaoyun Pavilion to Cultivate daily.

It was precisely through this method that they Cultivated their Divine Souls.

It was also the most formidable aspect of Diaoyun Pavilion.

After all, the Cultivation of the Divine Soul was extremely difficult.

If Jiang Chen hadn't had the Soul Devouring Ring, he wouldn't have been able to advance to his current Realm so quickly.

If he had followed normal Cultivation methods, it would have taken Jiang Chen an unknown amount of time to reach his current Realm.

Therefore, among Soul Cultivators, the Cultivation methods each Soul Cultivator mastered were also extremely secretive matters, equivalent to techniques that were not passed down.

If it weren't for Wang Fusheng's letter of recommendation, giving him Face.

It's estimated that Aunt Lan wouldn't have accepted Yang Shishi so easily.

It was precisely to give Wang Fusheng that Face.

Ultimately, Yang Shishi joined Diaoyun Pavilion as an apprentice.

However, after joining Diaoyun Pavilion, she only had two days a month to go home; the rest of the time, she needed to stay in Diaoyun Pavilion to Cultivate.

After all, Diaoyun Pavilion involved Soul Cultivation methods and the craftsmanship of making talismans.

If any single one of these were to be taken out, it could cause a significant stir.

"Alright, you study hard here; just go back and visit when you have time."

Jiang Chen said, pinching Yang Shishi's moist cheek.

"Young Master, thank you."

"You changed my life."

Yang Shishi said, blinking her large eyes.

If this wasn't his territory, Jiang Chen would have directly pushed Yang Shishi down.

After leaving Yang Shishi at Diaoyun Pavilion, Jiang Chen did not linger and left directly.

However, before leaving.

Jiang Chen caught a glimpse, behind a curtain in the courtyard of Diaoyun Pavilion.

There was a woman dressed in a simple short shirt, with a cloud-patterned apron around her waist, intently holding a clay sculpture, which was continuously rotating and taking shape.

Jiang Chen's gaze fell on her slender, long fingers, fair and lustrous.

The next moment, the curtain was blown by the wind, obstructing Jiang Chen's view.

Jiang Chen only glanced for a moment.

Although this scene was quite beautiful, he wasn't someone who hadn't seen good things before.

He wouldn't act like a hooligan.

Jiang Chen left Diaoyun Pavilion and returned to Ziyun Villa.

He had originally intended to take Xia Sisters to Bailu Academy for registration in the afternoon to try.

With Lu Qian's token, it shouldn't be a problem.

Jiang Chen estimated that even without Lu Qian's token, Bailu Academy would certainly be very welcoming, even eager for Xia Sisters to stay.

After all, Xia Sisters' own talents had been developed quite well during this time.

Coupled with the transformative effects of the Great Vehicle Emperor Yin Art.

Within the Great Lan Dynasty, they would absolutely be considered top-tier Geniuses.

What's more, both girls also possessed considerable martial arts talent.

Xia Sixuan's martial Dao talent was even something Jiang Chen found formidable.

However, when Jiang Chen returned to Ziyun Villa.

He found the atmosphere in the manor quite solemn.

Everyone seemed to be waiting for Jiang Chen's return.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Jiang Chen saw the women sitting under the tree in the courtyard, their expressions grave, and immediately asked.

And among this group of people, Jiang Chen also saw a familiar figure.

Only now, this figure was crying profusely, her eyes filled with worry.

"Xiao Chen, you're back..."

"It's Miss Zhou... her father was captured by members of the Blazing Fire Gang."

Cheng Yurou saw Jiang Chen return.

She quickly stepped forward and said.

And she was very direct, clarifying the matter in a single sentence.

Cheng Yurou was also very aware.

At such a dangerous moment, there was naturally no need for excessive embellishment or crying; explaining the situation clearly was the most important thing.

Once Cheng Yurou spoke, Jiang Chen understood the general situation.

"Brother Jiang..."

Zhou Miaoqing also pursed her lips.

With her father captured by the Blazing Fire Gang, at this helpless moment, she could only come to Jiang Chen for help.

"It's alright, don't be afraid."

"I'm here; no one can touch your father."

Jiang Chen said.

Then he looked at Li Yan, who had stepped forward.

"What's the general situation?"

Li Yan spoke.

"Family Head Zhou was preparing to personally deliver medicinal ingredients, but he was ambushed by members of the Blazing Fire Gang on the way. Now, the Blazing Fire Gang has demanded a ransom of one hundred thousand Spirit Stones to buy back Family Head Zhou."

To ransom Zhou Yan.

Then the medicinal ingredients Zhou Yan brought would naturally all belong to the Blazing Fire Gang.

One should know that among the medicinal ingredients Zhou Yan brought, many were Spirit Medicine of Fifth Grade or higher.

This batch of medicinal ingredients alone was already invaluable.

He didn't expect them to steal the medicine, capture the person, and then demand a ransom?

This extortion had even reached him, Jiang Chen.

"Where is the Blazing Fire Gang located?"

Jiang Chen asked.

"At Baifu Street, Fubao Building."

Li Yan said.

At the same time, she also took out a map and showed it to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen glanced at it.

"Understood."

"Don't worry, girl, I'll go bring your father back now."

Jiang Chen ruffled Zhou Miaoqing's head.

Although Zhou Miaoqing really wanted to go with Jiang Chen, she also knew that with her strength, going with Jiang Chen would only drag him down, and perhaps other accidents might occur.

"Xiao Chen, be extra careful."

Cheng Yurou could only caution him.

"You don't need to worry about Miss Zhou; we'll be with her."

"Okay."

Jiang Chen nodded.

He was always at ease with Cheng Yurou's actions; she could take care of all the points he worried about and cared for.

It was precisely after so many years of getting along that a tacit understanding had already formed between the two of them.

Immediately, Jiang Chen leaped up.

A terrifying surge of Earth Qi enveloped Jiang Chen's body, like a sudden gust of wind.

Carrying Jiang Chen into the air.

Jiang Chen's cultivation had already reached the Ninth Layer of the Earth Martial Realm.

Let alone the mere Blazing Fire Gang, Jiang Chen could even directly destroy the Cangzhou City Lord's Mansion.

And this Blazing Fire Gang was quite bold, daring to provoke him further under such circumstances?

Boom!

The women watched Jiang Chen's posture as he soared into the sky.

Xia Si柠 and Xia Sixuan's eyes sparkled as if with stars; upon seeing this scene, they were both greatly impressed by Young Master's strength.

"Miss Zhou, don't worry. Xiao Chen is now a Banner Officer of the Black Yamen Demon Slaying Guard. That Blazing Fire Gang is just a local Gang; they can't cause much trouble."

Cheng Yurou comforted her.

She naturally knew that the Blazing Fire Gang was not benevolent, but Zhou Miaoqing's mood somewhat calmed after hearing this.

"Thank you... Thank you all..."

Zhou Miaoqing only felt that Cheng Yurou gave people a very warm feeling, no wonder Brother Jiang liked her so much.
