Sister is Angry

She knew that if Jiang Chen hadn't been there today, she might not have made it out of this family upheaval alive.

Song Yiyi really wanted to thank him.

But then she remembered that if it weren't for Jiang Chen, her grandfather wouldn't have died.

None of this would have happened.

The word "thanks" lingered on her lips, but in the end, she couldn't bring herself to say it.

But aside from thanking him, she didn't know how to express her gratitude for Jiang Chen saving her life.

In the end, she said nothing. She stood frozen behind Jiang Chen, unable to leave.

Jiang Chen hadn't noticed any of this.

Seeing Song Yiyi still standing there, he asked, "Song Yiyi, there's something very important I want to ask you."

Important?

Song Yiyi's thoughts swirled. The only important things between her and Jiang Chen were her grandfather's death and the possibility that Jiang Chen might confess his feelings for her.

Thinking about him confessing, she realized she might actually like Jiang Chen a little.

Otherwise, why would he risk his life to save her?

Thinking that Jiang Chen really, truly liked her,

Song Yiyi's heart began racing uncontrollably.

But Jiang Chen was the one who had killed her grandfather. There was a blood feud between them.

How could she possibly fall for him?

Another voice inside her told her, Song Yiyi, Jiang Chen did nothing wrong. Her grandfather had already turned into a demonic beast. If Jiang Chen hadn't acted, who knew how many more people would have died at its hands?

He had simply done what an ability user was supposed to do.

He hadn't done anything wrong.

Jiang Chen found Song Yiyi's expression rather baffling. She kept nodding and shaking her head, seemingly lost in thought.

Her expression was so obvious that he couldn't help noticing it.

Still, it didn't matter to him.

He had a real reason for seeking her out.

"Song Yiyi, do you know where the Super S-Class Demonic Beast's true body is?"

Hearing Jiang Chen's question, Song Yiyi didn't react at first.

She paused, then stared at him blankly.

Only after Jiang Chen repeated his question did she come back to herself.

"Song Yiyi, do you know where the Super S-Class Demonic Beast's true body is?"

Song Yiyi felt a little disappointed.

So she'd misunderstood him.

The important matter Jiang Chen wanted to discuss had nothing to do with her.

She put away her disappointment and asked, "Why do you want to know?"

Jiang Chen told Song Yiyi what he knew.

After hearing him out, Song Yiyi immediately realized how serious the situation was.

"You're saying the city is still in danger?"

"Yes!"

"The Super S-Class Demonic Beast has already awakened. Destroying the Demon's Heart alone won't be enough. We have to destroy its true body to eliminate it completely."

Jiang Chen continued, "So I need you to tell me where its true body is. I have to destroy it myself."

Song Yiyi shook her head. "I'm afraid you can't."

"Unless you're a Saint, neither of us is strong enough to completely destroy the Super S-Class Demonic Beast."

"Just tell me where the Super S-Class Demonic Beast's true body is!"

Jiang Chen knew that the beast's true body was incredibly tough and difficult to destroy. But the question wasn't whether he could do it. He had to.

Otherwise, the city was doomed.

"It's beneath the school."

"The school's sealing formation is suppressing it."

"And..." Song Yiyi paused, then continued, "Only the Purple Ring can open the seal on the passage leading underground in the principal's office."

"Jiang Chen, I've told you everything I know. If you want to know anything else, I can't help you."

"That's all. Thank you."

"When I need your help, I hope you'll open the seal on the underground passage for me."

After speaking, Jiang Chen glanced at the sky and said, "It's getting late. I'll head back first. Senior Song will help you deal with everything here. There's nothing else I need to do."

When Song Aotian heard Jiang Chen volunteer him, he immediately protested. "When did I ever say I'd stay and clean up this mess?"

"You've already helped her once. You might as well see it through and help her again."

"Besides, this is the Song family. As an ancestor of the Song family, you can't leave a young woman here alone to face all those wolves and tigers."

"Fine. Actually, I was thinking the same thing."

Song Aotian had been debating whether to stay and help Song Yiyi. After all, she was still just a young woman.

This was such a complicated situation. If she handled it poorly, she could be ruined.

He could help her this time, but that didn't mean he could help her next time.

After all, he was a spirit. He could disappear at any moment.

Since he couldn't be there for her every time, he figured it might be better not to help at all.

But since Jiang Chen had brought it up, he went along with him and stayed.

He would help the young lady this once.

Song Yiyi was deeply touched. She hadn't expected Jiang Chen to be so thoughtful.

Actually, Jiang Chen wasn't being thoughtful. He just didn't want a ghost following him around late at night.

After making the necessary arrangements,

Jiang Chen used Flash Step to leave.

When he reached home, he saw the lights were still on.

He checked the time. It was already ten at night.

It was so late. Was Xiao Lan still awake?

Her health was poor. She absolutely couldn't stay up late.

Thinking this, Jiang Chen walked up to the door, took out his key, and turned it in the lock.

The moment he opened the door,

a dark figure rushed into his arms.

Pressed against Jiang Chen's chest, Xiao Lan asked, "Brother, why are you only getting home now? I was so worried something had happened to you!"

Standing behind Xiao Lan, Zhang Banxian let out a sigh of relief when he saw Jiang Chen return.

He had stayed in touch with the chubby guy and knew Jiang Chen had left in the middle of dinner.

He had called Jiang Chen's phone, but there'd been no answer.

So he'd figured something must have happened.

Zhang Banxian had no idea what.

He'd wanted to go look for Uncle-Master Jiang on his own.

But with Xiao Lan here, he couldn't just leave her behind.

All he could do was wait anxiously by himself.

Perhaps his restlessness had rubbed off on her.

Xiao Lan seemed to sense that something was wrong.

She kept asking, "Zhang Banxian, did something happen to my brother?"

Naturally, Zhang Banxian couldn't tell her anything. He didn't want her worrying about Jiang Chen.

Several hours passed.

When Jiang Chen finally appeared in front of him, safe and sound,

Zhang Banxian let out a sigh of relief.

He said, "I'm just glad you're all right!"

"Of course I'm fine!"

Jiang Chen pulled Xiao Lan away and told her, "Something came up while I was out. It wasn't anything serious. Don't cry."

Xiao Lan wiped her tears with her hand and said, "You've never come home this late before, and you didn't tell me where you were going."

"It gave me a bad feeling."

"It's fine. I'm standing right here in front of you, aren't I?"

"As long as you're okay!"

Xiao Lan examined Jiang Chen closely.

Only after making sure he was unharmed did she finally relax.

"Then, Brother, why did you get home so late?"

Xiao Lan asked.

"General Pagoda needed me for something. Your brother's a big shot at his side now, after all."

Xiao Lan pouted. "Brother, if you don't tell me the truth, I'm going to be mad!!!"
