Chapter 246 Family, True Feelings, Self
Looking at his son standing in the sunlight in the courtyard.
Tao Chunru covered her mouth with her hand, tears streaming down her face, unable to believe it.
"Xiao Yuan, is that you?"
Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Mom, it's me."
Tao Chunru could no longer hold back, rushed up and hugged him, crying out:
"You brat, why are you only getting back now..."
"Do you know how much your mother misses you? I'm afraid you'll never come back..."
"Mom misses you so much..."
Jiang Damu, who was standing to the side, also had tears in his eyes. His lips trembled and his voice choked as he said, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
Feeling the warmth of family affection that I haven't seen for a long time.
Jiang Yuan's eyes softened, and his heart was calm and peaceful like never before.
No matter how strong you become.
They are still children in their parents' eyes.
When you come home, there will always be a light waiting for you, and someone will have prepared a hot meal for you.
The road ahead is wide open, but there is always a way back.
Ultimately, it is a happy thing.
"So-called wealth is nothing more than this."
Jiang Yuan was filled with emotion.
Everyone needs something they value and cherish. Otherwise, the higher one climbs, the stronger one becomes, and the bigger the world one sees, the less one can see oneself clearly. One is prone to losing oneself and becoming a slave to power, only pursuing power.
Seeing the Great Xia leadership abandon Nanjiang City filled him with disappointment, compounded by the terrifying murmurs from the depths of the abyss and the influence of blind folly.
Since his trip to the Cherry Blossom Country, Jiang Yuan's bloodlust has only intensified.
Life became increasingly insignificant in my eyes.
A ninth-tier Grandmaster is nothing but grass, and a Quasi-King can be killed at will.
Those who provoke me will die.
You have rendered meritorious service in resisting the ferocious beasts of the abyss, so I will kill twice as many as you to exchange your life for double the merit.
Even without you, I could easily conquer an entire forbidden abyss by myself.
Is this the same Jiang Yuan he always was, the same boy from Nanjiang City who once revered and respected the soldiers guarding the border in class?
"Even if I gain unparalleled power in the world, but lose my true self, am I still myself?"
"No longer caring about the lives and safety of ordinary people, no longer having family or country in their eyes, only protecting those important to them, what difference is there between them and those lords in the abyss who rule the forbidden lands?"
"What was Jiang Yuan's motivation for wanting to become stronger?"
"Isn't it about protecting your family and being able to live freely in this world?"
Jiang Yuan's mind was in turmoil as he asked himself some questions.
After realizing the changes in my mindset during this period and understanding where my true self lies.
In his spiritual sea.
The Yang God, towering ten thousand feet tall and standing amidst the stars and the sun, suddenly became crystal clear and shone brightly.
A change in mindset leads to complete fulfillment in the spiritual realm.
The number of spirit attribute points has exceeded 25000.
Tao Chunru and Jiang Damu were both momentarily dazed. For a fleeting moment, they seemed to see a dazzling golden light, like that of Buddha, emanating from Jiang Yuan's body, but it was only for a moment, and they thought they had seen it wrong.
But suddenly, I inexplicably felt my mind become incredibly clear and my thoughts became ethereal, as if I had been cleansed.
"Xiao Yuan, what just happened...?"
Tao Chunru couldn't help but ask.
next second.
Jiang Yuan reached out and pulled them into his arms, whispering:
"Dad, Mom, thank you."
The two were taken aback, then their eyes reddened.
"Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about? Your parents should be thanking you. Without you, your parents would have died long ago. Being your parents is the proudest thing in our lives. Just don't try to be brave again next time."
"Don't worry, I'm much better than before now, that kind of thing won't happen again," Jiang Yuan said.
Tao Chunru wiped her eyes and said, "Mom didn't know how capable you are now. Mom just hopes you won't put yourself in dangerous situations again."
"Alright, stop talking and come inside. Don't let the neighbors laugh at you. Look at you, your hair has gotten so long and you haven't even gotten a haircut. Your mom made your favorite dishes for lunch, and look how thin you've gotten," Jiang Damu said.
"Alright, alright, that's enough. Old Jiang, go and call Yu Feng and the others over so we can have a proper celebration."
"Okay, I'll go right now!"
……
soon.
Mo Lingfeng and Tao Yufeng, the two elders who had been watching over Jiang Yuanzhang, also rushed over.
Upon seeing Jiang Yuan sitting on the sofa inside the room, both of them were moved, their eyes reddening and their expressions excited.
"Xiaoyuan, it really is you. I thought your dad was talking nonsense. You must have suffered a lot out there?"
"Good lad..." Mo Lingfeng patted Jiang Yuan on the shoulder, feeling quite emotional, but in the end he only said five words.
"You've really grown up."
After a long-awaited reunion and some pleasantries...
After learning that Jiang Yuan went to Japan and caused a series of trouble there.
Both families were shocked and speechless, wanting to say something but not knowing where to begin.
Things like the Three Great Families' schemes, the God of Calamity, and the Grand Wars.
It was completely unimaginable to them given their limited knowledge.
"...Anyway, it's definitely a good thing. Those people from Sakura Country are no good. They'll settle their scores with us sooner or later, since they were from before the era of the gods' abandonment," Jiang Damu said. He had been unhappy with Sakura Country for a long time.
Tao Chunru said with some concern, "You did such a big thing, and you're wanted by a country. Isn't it a big deal? If it really comes down to it, just find a place to hide and don't worry about us."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Xiao Yuan is a hero of our Great Xia, a top genius. The higher-ups will definitely not let anything happen to him," Mo Lingfeng said with a smile.
"Uncle is right, and..."
Jiang Yuan sat on the sofa, picked up a blood-red, crystal-clear spirit apricot, took a bite, and said, "I'm really strong now, really."
Tao Yufeng asked curiously, "Xiao Yuan, I saw on the news that you've already reached the seventh level. So, who's stronger now, you or that former Chairman Qin from Nanjiang City?"
Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "President Qin, if we're just sparring casually, it'll probably take about 10 moves."
Jiang Damu nodded: "That's true. After all, President Qin is a ninth-level Grandmaster, and he can suppress an entire region with his Thunder Blade. You're only a seventh-level Grandmaster now, so it's already quite impressive that you can withstand ten moves from him."
Mo Lingfeng sighed, "At least among the younger generation, he's definitely at the very top. You're still young, and the Divine Martial Academy has so many resources and top-notch instructors. Once you graduate from the Divine Martial Academy, you'll definitely be able to rival him. A nineteen or twenty-year-old ninth-tier Grandmaster... it's something I can't even imagine."
Jiang Yuan looked at him strangely and said, "You've misunderstood."
The group looked at him with suspicion.
Jiang Yuan said, "What I mean is, let's just have a casual fight, I can beat him within ten moves."
The room fell silent instantly.
Tao Chunru and Tao Yufeng looked dazed.
Jiang Yuan popped another apricot into his mouth; it was sweet and sour.
"Don't even mention ninth-tier Grandmasters, I've even killed... defeated quasi-kings. Otherwise, why do you think I could leave the Sakura Kingdom?"
"So don't worry, I told you I'm very strong now. As long as I don't want to die, no one can kill me, not even a king."
A king, a king?!
Jiang Damu and Mo Lingfeng stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded for several seconds.
After realizing what had happened, the two quickly took a sip of wine to calm their nerves.
Jiang Yuan stood up. "Auntie, where's Xixi?"
Tao Yufeng came to her senses and said, "She should still be in training room number nine. She said she had class there today. Oh, and Xiaoxiao is with her too."
Jiang Yuan nodded, "Okay, I'll go over there and bring them back before dinner."
After saying that, his figure suddenly vanished into thin air without a sound.
