Chapter 85 – My Son is the Main Villain (part 5)

Li Su was paying her respects to Yuan Qing You. Han Yue Valley had a good location, where it was warm in winter and cool in summer. There was also a hot spring. The scenery was beautiful. Li Su strolled around without any problems.

Suddenly, she heard footsteps behind her. Li Su was a little surprised. Apart from a few of the masters and servants, people rarely came here. If it wasn’t Jiang Qiao, then who could it be?

Li Su turned her head and saw a man with straight eyebrows walk over. He had similar eyebrows to Jiang Qiao, so he was likely Jiang Qiao’s eldest brother, the young leader of the Guang Ming Sect, Jiang Rong!

Jiang Rong saw Li Su’s face. Even though he had seen countless people, he still lost his senses for a while. He immediately looked away. Although she did not recognise him, she was married to his uncle so she was his aunt.

No wonder his uncle was fascinated by her. She was a beautiful woman. Jiang Rong couldn’t help but look at Li Su again.

Li Su nodded slightly.

Jiang Rong walked forward, bowed his head, and put on incense. He thought a few prayers. He slightly bowed his head and said, “Please take care of your body, madam.”

Li Su nodded slightly. Thank you very much. I have something to do, so please excuse me.” Jiang Rong was much better than Jiang Qiao.

After speaking, Li Su turned around and went back.

Jiang Rong no longer had any misgivings. He stared at Li Su.

“Older bro, you better not have fallen in love with this misfortune. Do you want to follow in uncle’s footsteps?” Jiang Qiao said from behind him.

Jiang Rong looked away. “What are you doing here? Did you come here to see Yuan Lang? Don’t forget, you are ten years older than him!”

“What about it? Should I have misgivings about this?” Jiang Qiao smiled presumptuously. “The difference between Yuan Lang and I is just age. On the contrary, you and that woman are about the same age, but aren’t you from different generations? You know how much mother valued uncle. She wants to fulfil his dying wish. If you aren’t afraid of angering mother, then you can go ahead with this line of thinking!”

Their father died early when they were young. Their mother was in charge of teaching affairs for the first time. Her uncle looked after her and her siblings. Her uncle was a free and easy person. Most of the time, he travelled, so she and her siblings had to depend on each other to live. Although they had occasional disputes, they had a tacit understanding. They could understand each other’s intentions with a look.

With just one look, she understood that her eldest brother was really tempted by that woman. She was really a disaster!

It was just that their mother would never allow such a thing to happen. Mother was merciless so she would not hesitate to be cruel if her eldest brother angered her.

As his younger sister, Jiang Qiao kindly reminded him.

Jiang Rong snorted. So what if there was a generational gap? Would he care about this? “Where is Yuan Lang?”

Jiang Qiao looked at Jiang Rong warily. She knew him and he had always been unscrupulous. “What do you want to do?”

Jiang Rong gave Jiang Qiao a cold look. Jiang Qiao couldn’t help but wince. “He is a son recognised by uncle. Even our family’s swordsmanship has been passed down to him.”

“Tch.” Jiang Qiao rolled her eyes. For the sake of her uncle, she was afraid that she had to look at that misfortune! However, her eldest brother was extremely talented in martial arts. He managed to practice the Bright Jade Divine martial arts to the 7th level. Their mother has only reached the 8th level. In time, eldest brother would definitely surpass mother. With her eldest brother’s guidance, Yuan Lang would surely make great progress.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qiao didn’t object so much. “He must be practicing his martial arts under the waterfall at this time. Older bro, I’ll take you to him. Yuan Lang is really hardworking and talented. Uncle taught him well.”

Jiang Rong ignored Jiang Qiao’s words. He would know once he saw him.

The two of them walked to Flowing Pavilion. As Flowing Pavilion was next to the waterfall, they could see the water fall down 3000 feet. Yuan Lang stood under the waterfall, without a shirt, practicing his sword techniques.

Jiang Rong watched him for a while. He wasn’t bad. He had already practiced skilfully. What Yuan Lang lacked was strength, so he had chosen to practice under a waterfall.

Jiang Qiao watched for a while, then waved and shouted. “Yuan Lang, come here!”

Yuan Lang heard her voice and sheathed his sword. He jumped ashore. “Cousin, why are you here?”

Jiang Qiao stepped forward and handed him his clothes. “Hurry up and put these back on. Don’t catch a cold. Come, let me introduce you to my eldest brother. Eldest brother, this is Yuan Lang.”

Yuan Lang got dressed. He was a little nervous and didn’t know what to call him.

Jiang Rong nodded slightly. “Since you are uncle’s son, you can call me cousin.”

“Yes, cousin!” Yuan Lang breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he had no blood relation to their family. Since he and his mother had been protected by the sect, he would work hard to prove he was worthy.

Jiang Rong snapped off a branch. “Come, let’s spar.”

Yuan Lang was a little dazed. Jiang Qiao happily pushed him. “What are you doing? It is rare that my eldest brother is interested in teaching. You shouldn’t let this opportunity go to waste.”

Yuan Lang also knew that this was a good opportunity, so he focussed and immediately rushed over with his sword.

The two then fought.

It so happened that Li Su heard that Jiang Rong and Jiang Qiao came to visit Yuan Lang, so she was a little worried. She came over to take a look and saw this scene. She immediately stood aside and watched with interest.

Although she didn’t understand martial arts, she could tell that Jiang Rong had the upper hand. It was like he was a cat stalking a mouse in a courtyard. Yuan Lang was a little embarrassed and tired. His face was flushed and his breathing was laboured.

After the two of them clashed 10 times, Jiang Rong’s eyes swept over Li Su. He jumped away and threw away the branch in his hands. “Do you understand your problem?”

Yuan Lang stood there, panting. A trace of embarrassment flashed across his face when he saw Li Su. He looked so useless and his mother had seen him like this. Damn it!

Li Su smiled and walked over. She gently helped Yuan Lang wipe the sweat off his face. “You are already great. You are still young now. In time, you will be as good as the young master.”

Yuan Lang felt greatly encouraged. “Does mother really think that I will be that good?”

Li Su nodded. “Definitely!” With regards to Yuan Lang’s martial arts, nobody else could match him. If it wasn’t for Shui Yi Yi’s tricks, Ou Yang Yi could not have won against Yuan Lang!

Yuan Lang smiled happily.

The atmosphere between the mother and son was very harmonious, but to the Jiang siblings, it was a bit annoying. They wanted to separate the two of them.

The two looked at each other, then looked away.

Yuan Lang was comforted by his mother. “Thank you for your advice, cousin.”

Jiang Rong nodded. “You have a talent, but you don’t have a master to advise you. My uncle was a bit soft on you.”

Jiang Qiao continued. “Why don’t we find a master for Yuan Lang? We have a lot of other affairs to deal with so we can’t come here every day. It’s not productive for you to study by yourself. Yuan Lang, what do you think?”

Find a master? Wouldn’t it be impossible to be with mother? Yuan Lang hesitated and glanced at Li Su.

Jiang Rong thought for a while and said, “I can send you to Tian Shan and find Master Taoist Xue. The thing he regrets the most is that he didn’t find a good apprentice. You are highly talented, so Master would appreciate it. However, if you become his apprentice, you can’t leave the mountain unless you are successful in your studies. Think about it.”

A hint of surprise flashed through Jiang Qiao’s eyes. “Yuan Lang, this is an excellent opportunity. Taoist Xue is one of the four sky demons. The four sky demons have a weird temper. They rarely accept apprentices as the prospective apprentices need to have talent. Eldest brother is willing to introduce you. This is a great fortune. What are you waiting for?”

Yuan Lang heard Yuan Qing You mention the names of the four demons of Tian Shan. It was said that they were 4 martial art gods and demons, with great ability, but had strange temperaments. He did not expect that Jiang Rong’s master was actually one of the four sky demons. No wonder his martial arts were good. If he could have one of the four sky demons of Tian Shan as his teacher…

Li Su was also a little moved. The four sky demons of Tian Shan did not have a direct role in the story, but they had always existed through people’s words. It turned out Jiang Rong was one of the apprentices of one of the four sky demons in Tian Shan. No matter how much the so-called upright martial artists suppressed the Guang Ming Sect, the Guang Ming Sect had always stood firm.

If Yuan Lang could build a relationship with the four sky demons of the Tian Shan, then it would be a good thing for him.

“Go, Lang’er! No matter what the result is, it is an opportunity. You have to try it,” Li Su encouraged.

“But…” Yuan Lang didn’t want to give up this opportunity, but he was reluctant to leave his mother. After weighing his options, he decided to give it a try, in case people looked down on him later.

“Okay, I’ll go. Thank you, cousin!” Yuan Lang said seriously.

Jiang Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, a smile on her face.

There was no expression on Jiang Rong’s face, but he kept looking at Li Su’s smile. The more he looked, the more he wanted to monopolise this person.

When Qiao Ying learned that Jiang Rong was going to take Yuan Lang to Tian Shan, she frowned slightly. “Did you think about it?”

Jiang Rong nodded slightly. “Don’t worry, mother. I know.” He never feared his opponents and didn’t mind training them since he would always stand at the highest point. Nobody could match him. No matter how strong his opponent was, he would only be stronger than them.

Qiao Ying nodded in satisfaction. “It’s good that you have this confidence. Take care of him. They are your uncle’s only priority.”

Jiang Rong lowered his gaze. “Don’t worry, mother.”

Qiao Ying was a little tired and waved her hand. “My old injury has relapsed and I need to retreat for a while. When you come back from Tian Shan, I will retreat. During this period, the educational affairs will be left to you.”

Jiang Rong nodded. “Yes.”

After Qiao Ying went to rest, Jiang Rong strode out with a face full of ambitions. Mother, the best way to take care of a person is to earn her trust and make her your own. Only in this way, could he give her the best care. Mother, don’t you think so?

At night, Li Su talked with Yuan Lang for a long time. Yuan Lang was conflicted. On one hand, he wanted to become the disciple to one of the four sky demons, but on the other hand, he didn’t want to be separated from his mother. He didn’t want to leave her alone. How could he rest assured?

Li Su didn’t think about this much. She thought of Yuan Lang. If Yuan Lang and Ou Yang Yi were destined to become enemies, then she hoped that the one who came out on top would be Yuan Lang.
