C2068 To the Spring City Lord's Residence
"Thank you very much, Mr. Jiang, for giving me such a good opportunity, but if I may ask, why did you give me such a good opportunity, a stranger that I am not familiar with?"
Ye Hong Tian was very curious about this question, so he asked. However, in the end, he used a stranger to express his relationship with Jiang Quan, which made Jiang Quan a little unhappy.
"Do you think we are just strangers? Ye Hongtian asked. That is really too much for me to die. I thought... At least we're friends " Jiang Quan let out a long sigh and shook his head. Then, he turned his head to look at a portrait hanging on the wall behind the counter. He continued.
"If you insist on giving me a reason, perhaps it's because you give me the feeling that you miss my dead grandson."
Ye Hong Tian followed Jiang Quan's gaze and looked over. He had long noticed the portrait, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
On the portrait was a middle-aged man with sharp eyes. From between his brows, it was obvious that he was somewhat similar to Jiang Quan, with a confident smile on his face. To be able to draw a portrait to such an extent, the painter was indeed impressive.
After sizing up the portrait, Ye Hongtian confirmed that he did not have any impression of the person in the portrait. Then, he realized that he seemed to have made Jiang Quan miss his dead grandson. He immediately tried to shift the topic to something else.
However, Jiang Quan did not give him the chance. He just talked about his grandson, which made Ye Hongtian feel depressed.
After listening to Jiang Quan's story for an hour, Jiang Quan rubbed his eyes and wiped away the tears that were brewing in his eyes.
Ye Hong Tian did not comfort him. Listening to it seriously was the best thing he could do. Seeing that Elder Jiang would not continue, Ye Hong Tian said, "According to Elder Jiang, your grandson went missing during the training. After that, he went missing for thousands of years. I can't be sure if he is dead or alive, right?"
"Sigh, he has been missing for thousands of years. There is no news at all. He's most likely dead. My son also passed away in search of that kid during those thousands of years. Right now, I'm the only lonely old man left in this family. " Jiang Quan said with a bitter smile.
If possible, Ye Hongtian wanted to tell Jiang Quan not to give up until he saw his grandson being killed with his own eyes. However, Jiang Quan's current age probably meant that he could not go to the mainland anymore. Therefore, he didn't say anything.
Thinking that he had to change the topic, Ye Hong Tian asked before Jiang Quan spoke again, "Elder Jiang! That... With this invitation, how many people can I bring to the Jun Family?"
"How many people? Oh ~ You want to bring the two little fellows you brought over, right? Un... The two little fellows are both at the peak of the Awakening Realm and their auras are strong. These people are usually true disciples nurtured by large families. They don't seem like free martial artists..." Jiang Quan paused for a moment before continuing with a solemn expression.
"If you insist on bringing the two of them to the Jun Family banquet, there will be no problem. But I have to remind you that even if you have an invitation, you may not necessarily be able to enter the Blood Prison Secret Realm! There are only five spots, and the two of them have higher cultivation levels than you. If you bring them to the banquet, they will be two powerful opponents in the end!"
Being reminded by Jiang Quan like this, Ye Hongtian immediately understood that Jiang Quan was afraid that a seventh level Awakened martial artist like him would not be able to snatch the spot to enter the mystic realm. He could not help but smile bitterly in his heart.
"Elder Jiang, please believe me. You will also go to the Jun Family's banquet this time, right? At that time, you only need to see how I get the slot to enter the mystic realm!" Ye Hong Tian said very confidently.
Although he didn't know how the Jun Family would fight for the secret realm quota at the Jun Family banquet, he believed that as long as his fist was strong enough, everything would be fine.
Because Ye Hongtian was very confident, Jiang Quan couldn't say anything to hurt Ye Hongtian's confidence.
For the rest of the day, Ye Hongtian stayed in the inn to help take care of things. However, there was not a single guest in the inn for the whole day.
Regarding the management of the inn, Ye Hongtian had suggested to Jiang Quan to open the inn on the streets with more people, but Jiang Quan only shook his head and refused without any explanation.
For the next three days, Ye Hong Tian tried to advertise the Jiang Family Inn outside, but the route to the Jiang Family Inn after entering the old street was a big problem. There were basically not many people who could crack the route on the leaflet.
Jiang Quan did not agree to simply draw the route from the Old Street to the Jiang Family Inn on the leaflet. This made Ye Hongtian feel very helpless. In the end, he gave up on promoting the Jiang Family Inn.
On the seventh day of his arrival in Spring City, Ye Hong Tian changed into a clean white robe that he rarely wore and walked out of his room in the evening.
Jun Qiongyao and Yu Fengxiao, who had been cultivating in their rooms for a week without showing their faces, also left their rooms as if they had made an appointment. Their auras were stable at times. Sometimes, they were manic. It seemed that they had been looking for an opportunity to break through to the semi-sage realm for the past few days. However, they hadn't succeeded.
"Is it alright if you don't adjust your condition?"
Ye Hong Tian asked because he was worried that their current situation would affect their performance at the banquet.
The two of them shook their heads to indicate that it was fine. After that, Ye Hong Tian didn't ask any more questions and went to the first floor of the inn through the stairs.
Jiang Quan stood behind the counter as if he had been standing there for a long time. However, today, he was not waiting for the guests to come to the inn. Instead, he was waiting for Ye Hong Tian and the others.
"Are you all ready? If you are ready, then just leave. Follow me and I estimate that we will arrive at the Spring City Lord Residence in fifteen minutes." Jiang Quan said as he walked to the platform.
Ye Hongtian and the others looked at each other, as if to see if the other party was ready. They looked at each other and nodded at Jiang Quan.1
Then, the three of them followed Jiang Quan out of the inn. The area near the inn was restricted by the air, so they walked out of the old street.
As soon as they walked out of the old street, Jiang Quan flew into the air. When he was about 15 meters high, Ye Hongtian realized that many people were flying in the same direction.
"These people are going to attend the banquet?"
"Yes, but we haven't seen anyone who can pose a threat to your quota yet. The previous few times when the secret plane of the Blood Prison opened, only semi-sage experts and below participated. However, it wasn't guaranteed that one would be able to obtain a quota for the secret plane if one's cultivation was high. You just need to fully display your talent "
Jiang Quan answered Ye Hong Tian's question. He thought that Ye Hong Tian had been worried about the quota since he had seen so many people. Therefore, he comforted Ye Hong Tian.
Jun Qiongyao and Yu Fengxiao rolled their eyes when they saw that Ye Hong Tian didn't refute him. After all, if Ye Hong Tian couldn't get the quota, they wouldn't be able to get it either.
