Chapter 1078 - 1078 1064 Recognizing a Godfather

Chapter 1078: Chapter 1064: Recognizing a Godfather Chapter 1078: Chapter 1064: Recognizing a Godfather He figured these were all Ye Chen’s words, so he quickly nodded and said, “Yes, if there’s a chance, who wouldn’t want to live a clean life as a good person?”

“Then why did you get mixed up with Qiandu Xiang and the rest?” Nangong Yan had indeed heard a lot about his collusion with Qiandu Xiang and said, “Don’t mention the business with the Cangqiong. It wasn’t you who colluded with Qiandu Xiang and agreed to his terms?”

The girl seemed quite clever. Shao Hengjiang promptly replied, “Right, they offered me benefits. I had no choice, but I minimized the casualties.”

“But you are still doing bad things,” Nangong Yan said.

Shao Hengjiang explained, “I won’t deny it, but we needed to survive. At that time, we had to do it, or else Qiandu Xiang and his gang wouldn’t leave us alone and would trouble us.”

“That doesn’t justify your wrongdoings.”

“True, you’re right. We were wrong about those matters, and I admit it. But it won’t happen again.” By now, he had completely fallen out with Qiandu Xiang, and he had also found his daughter. If he could truly win his daughter’s heart, he would willingly become a good person.

“Why didn’t you try hard to be a good person before, instead of only thinking about it now?”

Who said he didn’t want to before? His hatred with Ke Yizhu couldn’t be explained in a sentence or two. He said, “My senior brother and I have a bad relationship. He wouldn’t give me any chances.”

“Your senior brother? Who is he?”

“Ke Yizhu.”

Nangong Yan was a bit surprised and asked, “He wouldn’t let you be a good person? Why?”

“I offended my senior brother, and he hates me,” Shao Hengjiang said.

“Why does he hate you?” Nangong Yan asked, puzzled.

“It’s a long story. Anyway, my senior brother and I have a feud. He targets me specifically, determined to deal with me.”

Nangong Yan was skeptical. Ke Yizhu was Ouyang Yue’s godfather, and she had met Ke Yizhu. Could he really be such a person? But he indeed was someone not easy to sway. She said, “What exactly happened between you two? You did wrong by my mother and also wronged your senior brother, and even became a pirate.”

Shao Hengjiang said, “Youthful impulse. Many things were done in a moment.”

“Ah, I don’t want to bother with your nonsense anymore. I don’t have that much leisure to care,” Nangong Yan suddenly changed the topic and said, “You should know why my father and Ouyang Yue are looking for the Sacred Spirit Stone.”

“Revenge, to reclaim the Sacred Spirit Sect,” he said.

“I see your hatred for Qiandu Xiang has formed, and it can’t be eased. You wouldn’t want the Sacred Spirit Stone to end up in their hands either.”

Shao Hengjiang nodded slightly and said, “That’s true.”

“Help my father and the others. You don’t necessarily have to obtain the Sacred Spirit Stone to become a good person. Once your feud with Ke Yizhu is over, I will persuade my father, and they will accept you from Iron Ten Thousand Island.”

Shao Hengjiang smiled faintly, seeing the girl’s motive.

“The Sacred Spirit Stone originally belongs to the Sacred Spirit Sect. Why do you want to steal it, unless you intend to do something evil with it?” Nangong Yan said.

“Not necessarily. Such a treasure, who wouldn’t want to have it? It’s a huge power.”

“You want to use it to unify the world, don’t you?” Nangong Yan asked suspiciously, not so easily convinced by his previous words.

“My ambition isn’t that grand. I’m getting on in years. What’s the use of unifying the world?”

“Then you don’t absolutely need the Sacred Spirit Stone.”

“Are you asking me to help your father obtain the Sacred Spirit Stone?” Shao Hengjiang countered.

“Of course. The Sacred Spirit Stone originally belongs to Ouyang Yue.”

“That’s not certain yet, is it? It’s not in her hands yet!”

“Hehe, you still really want to get your hands on the Sacred Spirit Stone.”

“The Sacred Spirit Stone is safe in my hands.”

“How could it be safe with you?”

“I am also from the Sacred Spirit Sect.”

Nangong Yan retorted, “You left the Sacred Spirit Sect a long time ago.”

“If I help Ouyang Yue and the others get the Sacred Spirit Stone, what’s in it for me?”

“Right, you’ve also suffered many casualties this time. It would only make sense if there is some benefit to it. But if you help my father, it would definitely change the image of you pirates, and they would forgive you later. You’ll have a chance to be a good person. I’ll definitely speak well of you on their behalf, and no one will call you pirates anymore in the future,” Nangong Yan said.

“Is that it? So many of my people have died, just for this?”

“Oh, I’ll be your goddaughter. Isn’t that good enough? You’ve gained a goddaughter,” she said.

Shao Hengjiang looked over, smiled beautifully, and thought to himself that she was already his daughter. He said, “I’ll think about it.”

“What? You still need to think about it? I’ve made a great effort not to hold your past actions against you.”

“That’s true.”

“I’m so pretty, if others want to adopt me as their goddaughter, I often refuse. It took a lot of thought, and I didn’t even let my dad agree before I just went ahead and did it.”

Shao Hengjiang pursed his lips and said, “That’s true, adopting an ex-pirate like me as a godfather does require some courage.”

“Yeah, more than just courage, I risk being scolded.”

“Then I need to consider it more seriously.”

Nangong Yan continued, “If you get the Sacred Spirit Stone, then Ouyang Yue and the others won’t be able to take their revenge and will have to return to the Sacred Spirit Sect. She would be especially upset, so she’ll definitely try every possible way to seek revenge. I’ve always treated her like a sister, I can’t help but support her.”

“Hmm, I can understand that.”

“If you could help them deal with Qiandu Xiang and take down the Sacred Spirit Stone, I believe they would be especially grateful to you, and very moved. They might forgive and forget, and give you a chance.” Nangong Yan said.

Shao Hengjiang was still smiling.

“How about it, getting such a pretty goddaughter like me, you must be happy, right?”

Shao Hengjiang laughed again. This girl really had a way with words.

“What use is the Sacred Spirit Stone to you? Sooner or later it still has to be returned to Xiyue Island. Ouyang Yue and the others just want it for revenge. It’s just a loan. If the Sacred Spirit Stone were to be permanently taken away, who could suppress the monsters here?” Nangong Yan said.

Shao Hengjiang did not speak.

Ye Chen watched from the side, not expecting this girl to actually strike up a conversation with Shao Hengjiang.

It wasn’t long before the girl came back all high-spirited. Seeing her like this, Ye Chen asked with a smile, “Weren’t you treating him as an enemy? Why did you go talk to him again?”

“What’s it to you!”

“You didn’t actually agree to take him as your godfather, did you?” Ye Chen asked, very curious.

“Wasn’t it you who said it’s always good to have one more godfather?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen said, “But he’s a pirate, a downright unforgivable pirate who kills without blinking an eye. If caught, he’d be paraded through the streets.”

Nangong Yan glared at him. Just the other day, he’d been so insistent on having her consider it, and now he was saying this.

“I’m serious. When I told you before, I was just joking. Who would’ve thought you’d take it seriously? Seems you’re really not that smart, acting without thinking things through.”

Nangong Yan rolled her eyes at him, unimpressed, “You’re particularly annoying.”

“You used to want to poison him, remember? You even tried to put poison in his drink.” Ye Chen said, struggling to understand her motives, though he could guess what they were.

“I want to poison you too.” Nangong Yan retorted, flaring her nostrils.

Ye Chen hadn’t expected his casual suggestion to actually succeed and asked, “So how should I address you from now on, Pirate Daughter?”

“You dare.”

“Haven’t you ever thought that Shao Hengjiang might be deceiving you?”

“Why would he deceive me.”

“Right, you don’t have much to be deceived of. But I’m still a bit slow to react. Just a few days ago, you were so determined to harm him, and now you’ve suddenly accepted him as your godfather.”

Nangong Yan knew Ye Chen wasn’t stupid and obviously knew what she was up to. “Don’t play dumb, how could Shao Hengjiang give you the Sacred Heavenly Technique!”

This question did leave Ye Chen a bit speechless, “Yeah, how could he give me the Sacred Heavenly Technique! Probably afraid of this martial arts being lost, I guess.”

“There must be some shady deal going on.”

“What kind of deal could I possibly have with him?”

“To get such a wonderful goddaughter like me, of course.”

At this, Ye Chen chuckled and said, “How could you agree so quickly? Didn’t you hate him the most? You hated him so much you wanted to poison him. Such a change is truly surprising.”

“Heh, what’s so surprising about that? As long as he’s willing to help my dad and the others, that’s fine.”

“He really agreed?” Ye Chen looked at her.

“Yes, he agreed.”

Ye Chen hadn’t expected Shao Hengjiang to be so committed just to get a daughter; actually turning over a new leaf was incredible. “You better not trust what he says, this guy is really good at pretending. He might be tricking you.” It was surprising to hear such words from Ye Chen, which usually would come from Nangong Yan.

Nangong Yan smiled, “I’m not a fool, I won’t be easily deceived.”

“I think you’re very easily deceived.” Ye Chen shook his head. The girl seemed to have no suspicions of her own, and he added, “I bet, to help your sister Ouyang Yue, he would sell even you if necessary.”

Nangong Yan snorted and continued to walk ahead, clearly more proactive than she had been at the start.
