Zhu Kun's Fortune

When people could not make up their own minds, they often needed someone else to offer advice.

Zi Yan turned a questioning gaze toward Jiang Xing beside her.

"Jiang Xing."

Zhu Kun, who had been watching Zi Yan all along, naturally noticed her gesture.

Knowing Jiang Xing must be very important to Zi Yan, and afraid that Jiang Xing might say something he should not, Zhu Kun hurriedly looked at Jiang Xing pleadingly.

His gaze seemed to say, "Brother, I'm begging you, put in a good word for me!"

Seeing Zhu Kun's pleading expression, Jiang Xing knew that his cooperation with Zhu Kun was practically secured.

All he needed to do was give Zhu Kun a hand, and wouldn't Zhu Kun rush to help him in return?

Jiang Xing nodded at Zhu Kun, signaling that he could leave it to him.

Then Jiang Xing said, "Zi Yan, I'm sure he didn't do it on purpose. How about we give him a chance?"

Hearing Jiang Xing actually plead for him, Zhu Kun was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly made a promise.

"Yes, yes, yes. Father didn't do it on purpose. As long as you can forgive Father, Zi Yan, Father will agree to anything you ask."

After hearing Jiang Xing call her Zi Yan, Zhu Kun directly addressed her by that name as well.

Zhu Kun lowered his stance as much as he possibly could. Before Zi Yan, he did not display the slightest bearing of a Nine-Star Dou Saint expert.

Hearing Jiang Xing plead for Zhu Kun as well, some of Zi Yan's resentment toward Zhu Kun faded.

But although her resentment had lessened, Zi Yan still did not say that she forgave Zhu Kun.

Seeing Zi Yan like this, the inexperienced Zhu Kun had no idea what to do and could only fret anxiously where he stood.

At this point, neither of them knew what to say, so naturally Jiang Xing had to step in to smooth things over.

"Senior, how should I address you?"

"No need to call me Senior. My name is Zhu Kun. You're friends with Zi Yan, so just call me Uncle."

Zhu Kun naturally had a favorable impression of Jiang Xing, who had just spoken up for him. Rather than putting on the airs of an expert, he acted extremely approachable.

At the same time, Zhu Kun did not forget to bring up Zi Yan to build some familiarity.

"Uncle Zhu Kun, although you did not abandon Zi Yan intentionally, it cannot be denied that because of you, Zi Yan was bullied from a young age."

Zhu Kun did not know how to coax Zi Yan, while Zi Yan had no way to back down. At this moment, Jiang Xing fully played the role of peacemaker.

"I believe you must love Zi Yan as well, and surely you want to compensate her, right?"

Jiang Xing first pointed out Zhu Kun's mistake, then reminded him to bring out the good stuff.

After leaving your daughter behind for so many years, how could an apology alone be enough without offering something valuable?

Zhu Kun had become the clan leader of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, so his emotional intelligence and intellect were certainly up to par. He quickly realized that Jiang Xing was helping him.

He looked gratefully at Jiang Xing and said, "Yes, it was my fault. All these years, I have deeply regretted not being by Zi Yan's side. Before, I had no way to make it up to her, but now that Zi Yan has appeared, I can finally compensate her."

Zhu Kun removed his Storage Ring and controlled it with Dou Qi, sending it flying before Zi Yan.

At the same time, he did not forget to apologize. "Zi Yan, I'm sorry. I hope you can forgive Father for the sake of how sincere Father is."

In truth, once Zi Yan learned that Zhu Kun had been trapped here rather than deliberately abandoning her, more than half of her hatred toward him had already vanished.

Now that Zhu Kun was apologizing so sincerely, her hatred had basically disappeared completely.

However, Zi Yan did not take the Storage Ring Zhu Kun offered her. Clearly, the young girl still could not bring herself to accept it.

If she took it directly, wouldn't that mean she had forgiven him because of these things? She was not that kind of person.

Jiang Xing saw through Zi Yan's thoughts and accepted it on her behalf.

He took out the items within the Storage Ring. The contents were mostly scrolls.

That made sense. Zhu Kun had stayed here for so long that any medicinal pills he carried with him had surely been consumed long ago. Only these inedible things remained.

Jiang Xing opened one of the scrolls and immediately sucked in a sharp breath.

Holy shit, he had casually opened a Heaven Rank Advanced Dou Technique?

Startled, Jiang Xing hurriedly checked the other scrolls.

Only after looking through every single scroll did Jiang Xing finally manage to close his gaping mouth.

Holy shit, there were more than forty Heaven Rank cultivation methods and Dou Techniques in total, seven of them Heaven Rank Advanced!

Unlike the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan and the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan, the Ancient Void Dragon Clan had never suffered a break in its inheritance.

The Ancient Void Dragon Clan had been the overlords of magical beasts since ancient times. Even now, with Zhu Kun trapped within Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion and the four Dragon Islands split apart, the other two magical beast clans did not dare provoke them in the slightest.

Moreover, Jiang Xing guessed that the Dragon Kings of the four Dragon Islands were definitely not the strongest among them.

The Ancient Void Dragon Clan surely had even stronger elders, ones who had gone into seclusion to cultivate and ignored worldly affairs because they were unwilling to involve themselves in the clan's internal strife.

Worthy of being the overlords of the magical beast world—who wouldn't be stunned by so many Heaven Rank cultivation methods and Dou Techniques?

With so many cultivation methods and Dou Techniques, together with those within Ancient Dragon Island, they were not much inferior even to those ancient Dou God Clans!

Jiang Xing thought to himself, Obtaining so many Heaven Rank cultivation methods and Dou Techniques—coming here was indeed the right choice.

Although these cultivation methods and Dou Techniques could only be used by Ancient Void Dragons, Jiang Xing felt that as long as Zi Yan and the Ancient Void Dragon clan grew stronger, he would have more confidence in whatever he did in the future.

As for whether Zi Yan would forget him?

Jiang Xing did not need to worry about that at all.

Although Zi Yan appeared carefree and careless, she would definitely remember clearly who treated her well.

Especially Jiang Xing, who had helped her find her family and clansmen—Zi Yan's gratitude toward him was all the more precious.

Seeing Jiang Xing examining the scrolls while letting out sounds of astonishment, Zi Yan was somewhat puzzled. Were the things he gave really that good?

After marveling at Zhu Kun's generosity, Jiang Xing began explaining them to the confused Zi Yan.

When Zhu Kun saw that the Storage Ring meant for Zi Yan had been taken by Jiang Xing, he was somewhat displeased. But then he saw Jiang Xing introducing its contents to Zi Yan after reviewing them.

Only then did Zhu Kun realize that he had judged a gentleman by the standards of a petty man.

If he had not been trapped within this designated area, and if Jiang Xing were not Zi Yan's friend, Zhu Kun would have wanted nothing more than to bow down and swear brotherhood with Jiang Xing.

Sure enough, after Jiang Xing finished introducing the cultivation methods and Dou Techniques Zhu Kun had given her, Zi Yan was even more shocked than Jiang Xing.

Jiang Xing had a Six-Star Dou Saint grandfather. Although he had not seen an overwhelming number of Heaven-tier cultivation methods and Dou Techniques, he had certainly seen quite a few.

But Zi Yan was different. She had grown up among Magical Beasts, and although she had eventually been brought to Jia Nan Academy, the highest-tier cultivation methods and Dou Techniques she had seen were only Earth-tier.

Now that she had encountered so many Heaven-tier cultivation methods and Dou Techniques she had never seen before, how could she not be shocked?

"Th-these cultivation methods and Dou Techniques... are all for me?"

She had originally thought Zhu Kun had only given her some ordinary things, but she had never expected so many Heaven-tier cultivation methods and Dou Techniques!

Zi Yan was utterly stunned at that moment.

"Of course. Zi Yan, this is only a small compensation from Father. Once Father gets out, I'll definitely give you even better things."

Zhu Kun thought Zi Yan was dissatisfied and hurriedly continued to assure her.
