Chapter 527: Past Life Extra Story Five_3
Yingbao blinked her eyes, “He wanted to kill Second Sister and Brother Yuanbao.” She had seen it all, the man’s palm was imbued with spiritual energy, clear intent to deal a fatal blow to her sister and Brother Yuanbao.
Springmaid sighed, knowing that reasoning with a one-year-old child was futile, all she could do was wait for her husband to return and decide on what to do.
Unexpectedly, before Jiang Sanlang could return, a group of people came knocking on their door.
The leader, an elderly man exuded a powerful aura, clearly he was a cultivator.
“Bring out the perpetrator!” With a furious roar, he frightened the two twins into wailing.
Springmaid tucked her daughter behind the door, instructing her to stay quiet, before stepping out herself to handle the situation.
But just as she opened the door, Little Yingbao darted out, pointing at the old man and scolded, “No shouting!”
This person had frightened her brother, and she was livid.
Seeing that the one who came out was just a one-year-old infant, the old man snorted coldly and demanded, “Call your elders!”
When Springmaid saw her daughter rushing out, her legs turned to jelly. She managed to steady her trembling heart and greeted the visitors with a slight bow, “May I ask your purpose of coming, sir?”
Seeing that this woman was a mortal, the old man randomly gestured towards a teenage boy standing behind him and asked, “Tell me, who harmed Boatman (Chen Chou)?”
The boy pointed at Yingbao, “It was her.”
The old man turned to gaze at the less than knee-high toddler, twitching at the corner of his lips, “Are you sure?”
The teenager nodded fervently, “I’m sure, it was her. She punched Chen Zhou and sent him flying.”
Springmaid instantly scooped up her daughter and protested, “How can you make such baseless accusations? My daughter is not even two, how could she punch someone and send them flying?”
The old man glanced at Yingbao, his gaze narrowing.
There was spiritual energy surrounding the little girl. Apparently, she had received some form of divine favor.
But even if she were blessed, even if she had begun cultivating from within her mother’s womb, she shouldn’t be capable of seriously injuring a fifth-layer cultivator, right?
“Little child, show me your capabilities.” With a wave of his hand, the old man snatched Yingbao from Springmaid’s embrace and placed her aside.
Springmaid wanted to rush over, but was stopped by an invisible wall. Panicked, she screamed, “What are you trying to do?”
The old man ignored her and directed an attack at Yingbao.
Seeing the old man not only frightened her brother and her mother but now also trying to punch her, Yingbao was furious and retaliated instantly.
The two spiritual powers collided, causing everyone around to topple over.
The old man was shocked to find his fist bleeding from the clash.
On the other hand, the little girl frowned, seemingly puzzled at his great strength that toppled everyone in the yard.
Yingbao calmed her surging internal energy, her small face alert as she carefully observed the elderly man on the other side.
Just before, she was almost blasted off by him. Fortunately, she reacted swiftly and shielded her mother, preventing both of them from falling.
Looking at the young girl, the old man felt as if he had found a treasure.
After all, he was at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, nearly reaching Core Formation, yet he had been evenly matched with this youngster!
This child had a promising future. He had to take her back to the Chen family.
Thinking up to here, he said cheerfully, “Little girl, come with me. I assure you, you would live in a grand house and eat the tastiest food.”
Yingbao replied, “I’m not going with you.”
Having said that, she grabbed her mother’s hand and went back into the house because her brother had been crying for a while now.
Seeing Yingbao’s disrespectful conduct, the old man wasn’t angered. Instead, he rebuked the teenager, “Useless! You are even inferior to a one-year-old child!”
The teenager hung his head low.
A person nearby said, “Second Uncle, are we just going to let it go after what happened to Chen Zhou?”
The old man glanced at the tightly closed door of the hut, scoffed and said, “This child is a prodigy. If we bring her back to the Chen family, aren’t all debts cleared?”
Everyone understood, but another question arose, “Second Uncle, we came here to investigate the disappearance of Chen Chao and Chen Lin. Wouldn’t it be inappropriate to bring this child back to Vermilion Bird City immediately?”
The old man’s face darkened and he responded, “Their life tokens have shattered; their chances of survival are slim. We just have to investigate who they have been associating with here. It wouldn’t take much effort. Once we finish up here, I will come back for the child.”
Saying so, he turned around and left, but not without leaving two disciples to keep an eye on the Jiang family.
As soon as Jiang Sanlang returned, he heard his mother and wife recounting the recent events.
He had already learned some of the situation from his nephews and nieces, so he wasn’t surprised. But learning that the visitor had come from Vermilion Bird City and was from the Chen family, he began to worry.
Pulling his daughter aside, he whispered, “Do not use the storage bag in front of strangers and do not take things at random. I will take you to have your divine favor tested immediately and also find you a master.”
Only by accepting a master now and having a sect’s protection could she escape the Chens’ covetous eyes from Vermilion Bird City.
Jiang Sanlang thought for a moment, considering all the information he had gathered. He decided to have his daughter acknowledge the person with the highest cultivation base in their county as her master.
The person with the highest cultivation base in their county was apparently a female cultivator surnamed Wang.
Her family owned the Treasure Pavilion, where all sorts of magical weapons, spiritual tools, and elixirs were sold.
