Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1310: Chapter 1319: Everyone Is Wang Chongxiao

Jiang Fan silently cursed.

He really didn’t want to know about these messy affairs!

It’s all because of that damned child Xiong Xiong; his mom is secretly meeting another man in the palace, yet he’s bringing me along?

Calming his emotions, he turned around, displaying a puzzled expression:

"Senior Qian Jiao, I just arrived. Were you discussing important matters with your guest?"

"Well, I didn’t hear anything."

Qian Jiao Venerable suspiciously eyed Jiang Fan, a mysterious glint flickering in her eyes, her voice slightly cold:

"How did you manage to get through the garden?"

She glanced at the garden, its array untouched, growing more suspicious in her heart.

Jiang Fan hurriedly said: "Xiong Xiong brought me here."

Upon hearing this, Qian Jiao Venerable gritted her teeth and snorted: "That damned child!"

Then she stared at Jiang Fan, her gaze fluctuating between ominous and uncertain.

Jiang Fan’s hair stood on end; Qian Jiao Venerable was a powerhouse of the Heavenly Human Two Declines. If she decided to make a move against him, it wouldn’t be easy to escape.

He quickly steadied himself and said: "Senior Qian Jiao, Xingyuan Venerable and I have safely returned."

"Please fulfill the promise of three Wish Papers."

He deliberately highlighted Xingyuan Venerable’s name, ensuring Qian Jiao Venerable would be cautious, not daring to act rashly.

If she made a move and caused a disturbance, attracting Xingyuan Venerable, Qian Jiao Venerable would be in big trouble.

Qian Jiao Venerable glanced into the distance, sensing the presence of Xingyuan Venerable.

Only then, after staring at Jiang Fan for a few seconds, did she retrieve three Wish Papers from her sleeve, saying meaningfully:

"Hearsay comes to the ears, not hearing naturally means none."

"Young man, the road ahead is long. Cautious words and deeds will carry you far."

She handed the three Wish Papers to Jiang Fan.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior." Jiang Fan respectfully received them with both hands.

The saying "Hearsay comes to the ears, not hearing naturally means none" implies that not listening or getting involved in gossip will keep you away from trouble.

It was undoubtedly a warning for Jiang Fan to keep quiet and not spread rumors, lest he bring disaster upon himself.

This made Jiang Fan secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

It seemed Qian Jiao Venerable didn’t want to blow things up either, warning Jiang Fan and letting it pass.

He stored away the Wish Papers and said: "Farewell, Senior."

The sects across Hunyuan State.

Everyone was stunned, covering their mouths, not daring to breathe loudly.

"Did I just hear some explosive news?"

"Xingyuan Venerable’s family matters, is that something I should be hearing?"

"This... this is too shocking, right? Xingyuan Venerable’s wife secretly cheating on him?"

"Luckily, Wang Chongxiao was astute enough to play dumb and muddle through; otherwise, he’d definitely be silenced."

As they secretly congratulated Jiang Fan.

In the projection.

Qian Jiao Venerable gently nodded, saying, "Go..."

The words were still on her lips when she suddenly remembered something, her eyes turning sharp again: "Wait!"

"There’s one thing I almost forgot to ask you!"

Uh?

Jiang Fan’s heart skipped; was it never-ending?

He’s not going to tattle!

If he interfered in others’ affairs, he wouldn’t be welcomed either way.

No matter which side, he couldn’t gain favor.

But Qian Jiao Venerable wasn’t asking about what happened in the house; instead, she stared at Jiang Fan’s face, asking:

"Are you really called Jiang Fan or Wang Chongxiao?"

Eh?

Jiang Fan was momentarily stunned, not expecting this question.

After moving the Connecting Sky Black Pillar, his identity was already difficult to hide.

After all, there was only one person in Central Earth who could move the Connecting Sky Black Pillar.

And that was Jiang Fan.

So this was the question.

Jiang Fan breathed a sigh of relief, removed the mask from his face, and said: "I am Jiang Fan, Chief Deputy Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion in Taicang State!"

The powerhouses from the various sects of Hunyuan State watched in bewilderment.

"So his real name is Jiang Fan!"

"I was wondering how Taicang State could simultaneously have two genius talents, Jiang Fan and Wang Chongxiao."

"Turns out they are both Jiang Fan."

"When he impersonated Wang Chongxiao, saying so many selfless things, was it all a lie?"

Qian Jiao Venerable also eyed Jiang Fan, raising the question.

"Why did you impersonate Wang Chongxiao?"

Jiang Fan knew his identity was exposed. He had long planned a response and sighed deeply:

"Alright, I’ll tell the truth!"

"In reality, there is no person named Wang Chongxiao."

Oh?

The powerhouses from Hunyuan State were surprised, pricking up their ears to listen.

Qian Jiao Venerable also watched Jiang Fan, waiting for him to continue.

Jiang Fan said helplessly: "Wang Chongxiao is just an identity I use to walk in the Heavenly Realm."

"My strength is weak, and my sect is impoverished, unable to provoke the Ancient Giants."

"So, I can only use the name Wang Chongxiao to oppose them."

"I hope Qian Jiao Venerable can forgive me."

The powerhouses of Hunyuan State suddenly understood.

"A humble man, hidden and nameless, guarding Central Earth."

"While we, the disciples of prominent sects, remain unmoved!"

"Spread the word, in the future, when people from Lu Ming Grass Hall fight against the Ancient Giants, let them all claim to be Wang Chongxiao!"

"Make the name Wang Chongxiao a symbol of resistance against the Ancient Giants!"

"Let the Ancient Giants know that everyone in Central Earth is an indomitable Wang Chongxiao!"

"Exactly, we at Wanjuan Bookstore will do the same!"

"Outwardly we’re Wang Chongxiao, but inwardly we’re all Jiang Fan! Understand?"

"Understood!"

"When tricking the Ancient Giants, we claim to be Wang Chongxiao. When praised, we say we follow Jiang Fan’s footsteps!"

...

Qian Jiao Venerable crossed her arms over her chest, sizing up Jiang Fan.

She said meaningfully: "Is that so?"

"If you impersonate Wang Chongxiao, just impersonate, but why wear a mask you temporarily picked up?"

"You haven’t worn a mask before in the Heavenly Realm."

"Why wear it in front of me?"

She squinted, wearing a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

"You’re not guarding against the Ancient Giants, you’re guarding against me, aren’t you?"

"Teaching my son to spit on the street, you despicable scoundrel!"

Jiang Fan’s face turned green and he coughed, saying: "Senior misunderstood."

"How could I do such a thing?"

Qian Jiao Venerable shouted: "Stop pretending! It’s you!"

"Scoundrel, you deceived my son! I won’t let this go!"

Jiang Fan felt chills down his spine.

He has seen how fiercely this woman protects her child.

If he fell into her hands, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Instantly, his thoughts raced, and he decisively executed Spatial Teleportation.

Whoosh!

However, as the Space Power around him was forming, the garden’s flowers suddenly exploded apart, forming several chains that bound him.

Qian Jiao Venerable’s face was cold: "You can bully anyone, but you can’t bully my son!"

She raised her hand, ready to teach Jiang Fan a lesson.

Jiang Fan’s heart trembled, quickly taking out the Wish Paper, yet before he could activate it.

Another flower petal chain struck, snatching the Wish Paper, and whisked it into Qian Jiao Venerable’s hands.

"Still trying to use my Wish Paper against me?"

Jiang Fan’s expression changed, he said solemnly: "Qian Jiao Venerable, I have saved your husband."

"Isn’t this being unreasonable?"

Qian Jiao Venerable snorted: "That’s a separate matter!"

"He will repay you for saving his life."

"But for harming my son, I demand an explanation!"

Jiang Fan found it unreasonable.

Was this necessary?

Such overprotection was too ridiculous!

Seeing Qian Jiao Venerable was serious, Jiang Fan’s expression darkened.

Fine, since there’s Sage’s Engraving, Qian Jiao Venerable can’t do anything to him!

Roar!

Unexpectedly.

A roar suddenly erupted at the gate of Wenhai Academy.

A wild aura surged forth!

This roar and aura, Jiang Fan was very familiar with.

It’s an Ancient Giant!

But where did an Ancient Giant come from in Central Earth?
