Xiao Chen's secret

"Sect Master, so the reason Your Highness is behaving like this is because of The Five Color Flag and the Blood Moon Church?" Fang An now understands the situation in Luoyang better.

Jiang Kun confirmed all of that, the reason why the Han Emperor dared not act rashly was knowing that his movements were being watched by both The Five Color Flag and the Blood Moon Church. Prince Yin Feng also seemed to have several support groups behind him, so far the only ones that could be confirmed were the Flower of Sin Organization and the Red Scorpion Group.

"I heard that on the way here you and Chen'er dealt with them. You did well especially the matters related to the Red Scorpion Group." Jiang Kun praised Fang An. You could say the news about Fang An was a breath of fresh air amidst the chaotic situation in Luoyang.

Fang An and Xiao Chen's actions had an indirect effect on the situation in the struggle for the throne, for example, the Liu Family which had previously chosen not to get involved started to close in on the Crown Prince's side. Prince Yin Feng's supporters had also dwindled due to the troubles that the Red Scorpion Group was experiencing.

"Your Majesty thinks that this matter is not finished, it has only just begun, the death of the two grandchildren is only the beginning, it seems that there will be more things that will happen in the future." Jiang Kun told the Han Emperor's situation.

Jiang Kun said the Han Emperor was so sad and hurt when he learned that his two grandsons were cruelly killed. The Han Emperor understood that a struggle for the throne always led to this outcome but he hoped that there would not be any more casualties especially to the royal family.

"Sect Master, so what can we do now?" Fang An wanted to help lighten the mood.

"Right now all we can do is wait and make sure we are always in top shape because it is not known when the big fight will happen." Jiang Kun smiled gently.

Jiang Kun thought it wiser to wait for the results of Yin Song's discussion with the Han Emperor before taking the next step. As the day started to get late, Fang An started to cough uncontrollably. Seeing Fang An's condition, Jiang Kun could only shake his head slowly and leave the room so Fang An could rest.

"Chen'er, come with me. It's been a long time since we played chess. It doesn't matter if you sleep a little later right?" Jiang Kun pulled Xiao Chen with him.

Xiao Chen could not refute, even though he was much stronger than he had been a few years ago but in Jiang Kun's eyes he was still a child whose strength was not on par with an ant's.

Fang An couldn't help but smile awkwardly as he saw his disciple being taken away by Jiang Kun.

When Jiang Kun and Xiao Chen were quite far from Fang An's room, Jiang Kun suddenly grabbed Xiao Chen's collar and lifted him up high.

"Don't fight back, come with me." Jiang Kun said coldly.

Xiao Chen was clearly startled, but before he could react Jiang Kun had already jumped high and moved at top speed out of the Crown Prince's residence. In no time, the two of them had left the palace.

Jiang Kun didn't stop there, he kept moving quickly jumping from one roof to another. Xiao Chen focused his attention on catching his breath because the wind that whipped his body at this speed made his whole body ache and it was hard to breathe.

"Now we can talk without interruption."

Jiang Kun only stopped when the two arrived at a hill located not far from the city of Luoyang. Jiang Kun threw Xiao Chen to the ground, but Xiao Chen didn't scream or complain in the slightest. Jiang Kun's gaze grew colder seeing the reaction of the boy in front of him.

Xiao Chen wasn't the least bit surprised by Jiang Kun's sudden change in demeanor. Unlike Fang An, Jiang Kun had lived for more than 150 years so making him more suspicious and wary, Jiang Kun naturally questioned Xiao Chen's unreasonable changes in bones.

"An'er is indeed talented but he hasn't seen much of the world, from the beginning I suspected that when a child of your age had such high intelligence, you can now improve your talent so far…" Jiang Kun said coldly.

"Only heretical arts alone can make a person improve the quality of their bones this fast even I don't believe there is anyone in the black sect capable of doing it like you." Jiang Kun looked Xiao Chen up and down, "As for relying on resources, it would require a fantastic amount, even a sect as big as Peach Blossom Mountain would find it difficult."

"If you can't come up with a satisfactory explanation, then don't blame me for killing you in this place." Jiang Kun's gaze made Xiao Chen's body goosebumps from the killing intent it released.

Xiao Chen took a deep breath, it seemed that the pressure that Jiang Kun had been under recently had caused him to have excessive fear and worry.

"Sect Master, I myself don't know how to give you a satisfactory explanation…" Xiao Chen smiled bitterly.

Jiang Kun and Xiao Chen looked at each other silently. Jiang Kun studied Xiao Chen, trying to read what the boy was thinking but couldn't find anything.

Previously, Jiang Kun had already become wary because when he checked there was no record of Xiao Chen ever leaving the Valley of the Hundred Swords but Jiang Kun met him at the Jade Grass River. This meant that Xiao Chen was able to enter and leave his sect without anyone knowing.

When hearing from Fang An that Xiao Chen had high aptitude and the quality of his bones could improve quickly, Jiang Kun grew wary but still waited until he saw the extent of development Fang An meant.

"The first time we met your talent was even below the average required to become a swordsman and now you're a talent that can only appear once in a hundred years. You only accomplished all of this in one or two years…" Jiang Kun pointed at Xiao Chen, "Not only do you have a much more mature mind than others but are also bloodthirsty."

Xiao Chen was indeed unable to hide the murderous aura he had from a swordsman at Jiang Kun's level, he could only smile awkwardly.

"The Master Sect has said himself, even with black or heretical arts it will be difficult to progress as fast as I did. Master Sect probably has his own guesses already, How about Mater Sect share it with me?" Xiao Chen stood up straight with a confident smile.

Jiang Kun furrowed his brows, he had released a strong killing intent and was intent on slaying Xiao Chen if the brat in front of him was proven to be the culprit. Jiang Kun didn't expect that not only was Xiao Chen not afraid of him, he even looked very calm.
