371: Chapter 370: Searching for Jiang Sanfeng 371: Chapter 370: Searching for Jiang Sanfeng “Brother Feng, what do we do?

Are we just going to stand by and watch that kid leave?”

The two Jiang Family Disciples beside him said angrily.

“We’ve been injured now, it’s not wise to act rashly, let that kid be smug for a while.”

“When our injuries are healed, it will be his time to die!”

“Come on, you two help me up,” Jiang Feng gritted his teeth.

The two Jiang Family Disciples supported Jiang Feng, who walked unsteadily towards the Jiang Mansion.

…

After leaving the Force Measuring Stone stall, Lin Xuan and his companion returned to the Jiang Mansion.

By that time, Situ Tao had already finished the transaction and received a generous reward.

When he saw Lin Xuan return, his previously yellow-tinged face broke into a smile.

“Brother Lin, you’re back.

Here’s your reward,” Situ Tao said happily.

“Eh, where’s Brother Dongfang?

Isn’t he here?”

“Brother Dongfang has left.

He said he didn’t want his share of the reward,” Situ Jing added from the side.

Lin Xuan briefly recounted the events, and Situ Tao quickly understood.

“Well, it seems Brother Dongfang has come across a great opportunity.

All we can do is wish him well from here,” said Situ Tao.

“Brother Lin, what are your plans now?”

“Me?”

Lin Xuan pondered for a moment, then said with a heavy tone, “I want to meet one of the Jiang Family elders.”

“Elder of the Jiang Family?” Situ Tao paused for a moment, “Does Brother Lin have some difficulties?”

“To be frank, I came here to look for someone, and this person might have strong ties to the Jiang Family,” Lin Xuan explained.

“Alright, I’ve been dealing with Elder Jiang Song for years, I’m quite familiar with him.

How about this, tomorrow I’ll take you to meet him.”

“Uncle Situ, why don’t you take me to him now?”

“Okay, follow me,” Situ Tao, realizing Lin Xuan’s urgency, did not dare delay.

They both headed towards the residence of Elder Jiang Song.

On the other hand, when the injured Jiang Feng and his two companions returned to the Jiang Mansion, it caused an immediate stir throughout the estate.

The disciple responsible for the gate changed color and rushed over in a panic.

“Brother Jiang Feng, what happened?

Who did this to you?”

“It’s an outrage, an absolute outrage!

Someone dared to attack our Jiang Family Disciples!”

“Brother Feng, where is the person?

I’ll go finish him!”

Jiang Feng weakly waved his hand, “That kid already ran away, help me back so I can heal first.”

The crowd didn’t dare to delay and hurriedly assisted Jiang Feng and the others inside.

…

In a courtyard of the Jiang Mansion, Elder Jiang Song looked at Lin Xuan with a slight frown.

“Situ Tao, why are you bringing a kid here?”

“Elder Jiang, I have some matters I would like to inquire about,” Lin Xuan said slowly.

“Oh, asking me?

What’s the matter?” Elder Jiang Song’s face showed a hint of surprise.

He had never seen Lin Xuan before, and certainly had no dealings with him, so he was curious as to what Lin Xuan wanted to ask.

“May I ask if there’s someone named Jiang Sanfeng in the Jiang Mansion?” Lin Xuan inquired with a glimmer of hope.

“Jiang Sanfeng,” Elder Jiang Song’s expression turned strange, “What do you want with him?”

Seeing the wariness in Elder Jiang Song’s eyes, Lin Xuan smiled faintly, “Please be at ease, elder.

I am only here at the request of a senior relative, looking for this person.”

Seeing that Lin Xuan did not seem to be lying, Elder Jiang Song nodded slightly.

“Indeed, there is someone named Jiang Sanfeng in the Jiang Mansion, but I don’t know which one you’re looking for?”

“Which one?” Lin Xuan was stunned, realizing there were many people named Jiang Sanfeng—this was not a scenario he had anticipated.

After a moment of thought, he said in a deep voice, “The person I’m looking for is at least middle-aged.”

According to what Old Man Di Que had said, he had saved this individual decades ago, which meant his age now would be at least fifty, and that’s why Lin Xuan spoke as he did.

“Above middle-aged?” Jiang Song picked up his teacup, “There is indeed an elder in the mansion named Jiang Sanfeng.”

“Could the elder possibly introduce me to him?” A sliver of hope rose in Lin Xuan’s heart.

“Elder Jiang Sanfeng is an elder of the Martial Arts Pavilion, with a high position and considerable authority; you won’t be able to meet him!” Elder Jiang Song flatly rejected him with a stern face.

“Besides, Elder Sanfeng hasn’t left the Martial Arts Pavilion in many years; he couldn’t possibly be the person you’re looking for!”

Lin Xuan’s expression darkened slightly.

An elder of the Martial Arts Pavilion held an esteemed position—it seemed highly probable that this individual was the man he sought.

However, such a distinguished elder wouldn’t meet with an obscure young man like him.

Take this visit as an example—if it weren’t for the introduction by Situ Tao, he wouldn’t even be able to see Elder Jiang Song.

“All right, you should leave.

The Jiang Family clan assembly is approaching, and the mansion is very busy.

Don’t come here again.”

“Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite!” Elder Jiang Song said in a heavy tone.

“Brother Lin, let’s go, we shouldn’t disturb Elder Jiang Song any longer,” Situ Tao whispered beside him.

“Alright.” Lin Xuan sighed.

With no solution at hand, he could only leave temporarily.

However, as he turned to leave, he overheard a whisper from Elder Jiang Song,

“Ah, there’s not much time left, and Yi He still hasn’t made a breakthrough…”

“A breakthrough?” Lin Xuan’s gaze shifted.

He remembered Elder Jiang Song mentioning the clan event—if he wasn’t mistaken, such grand family assemblies would definitely feature contests among the younger generation.

Qing Shan City’s Jiang Family might just be a small branch, and what Elder Jiang Song was worried about must be the cultivation of the younger generation of disciples.

“It seems there might be a way,” Lin Xuan’s lips curled up in a slight smile.

He halted in his tracks, suddenly turned around, and looked amiably at Elder Jiang Song.

“Eh, why haven’t you left yet?” Elder Jiang Song frowned and asked sharply.

“I just overheard Elder mentioning some concerns about the cultivation of the Jiang Family disciples; is that true?” Lin Xuan queried.

“You dare eavesdrop!” A cold light appeared in Elder Jiang Song’s eyes.

His anger nearly made Situ Tao trip and fall.

“Elder, please calm your anger.

It wasn’t my intention to eavesdrop, but rather to offer some relief from your worries.”

“Relief from worries?

Do you have a solution?”

“If it’s about increasing cultivation in a short period, perhaps I really do have a solution,” Lin Xuan said, composed and confident.

“You?”

Elder Jiang Song looked skeptical.

“Young man, let me caution you, do not boast idly.

The Jiang Mansion is not a place for you to act recklessly,” Elder Jiang Song’s tone carried a trace of chill.

If Lin Xuan were not brought by Situ Tao, he would have already thrown him out.

It’s no surprise Elder Jiang Song didn’t believe him; after all, Lin Xuan seemed too young, and by all appearances, he seemed to be a person from a minor nation.

Such a person couldn’t possibly have a way out.

Seeing Elder Jiang Song’s skepticism, Lin Xuan merely smiled faintly; he had not expected Jiang Song to believe him immediately.

However, he had his methods.

“Three-Striped Void Spirit Pill, capable of advancing a martial artist in the Merging Spirit Realm by one minor realm—has Elder Jiang Song heard of it?”

“What?” Upon hearing Lin Xuan’s words, Elder Jiang Song’s arm trembled, the teacup he was holding suddenly quaking, causing the Spiritual Tea to spill over.
