Chapter 1080 - 1080 1066 Taking the Wind for Rain

Chapter 1080: Chapter 1066: Taking the Wind for Rain Chapter 1080: Chapter 1066: Taking the Wind for Rain Red Demonic Spirit shook his head and said, “I think this Ghost Forest is definitely not safer than Kunlun Mountain. Who knows what’s out there? When the fight begins, who can tell what will happen?”

Black Demonic Spirit also said, “I’m telling you, don’t go crazy with the girl. She’s really out of her mind, thinking she’ll always be lucky. That’s just because she doesn’t know death.”

Ye Chen fell silent.

Black Demonic Spirit and Red Demonic Spirit began to chatter endlessly in a back-and-forth gossip.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen was staring at the sky, waiting for nightfall.

Nangong Yan thought things over and decided to find Shao Hengjiang. Although it had only been half a day since their acknowledgment as godfather and daughter, she felt that there was no time to lose.

When Nangong Yan mentioned going ahead to find Nangong Yao to join forces against Qiandu Xiang, Shao Hengjiang was startled and asked, “What, you want to go ahead to the front?”

“Yes. You wouldn’t disagree, would you? This is a great opportunity for revenge. We almost died at sea. If we cooperate with my father and the others now, forming a pincer attack, we can surely catch Qiandu Xiang off guard.” She was worried Shao Hengjiang would disagree, after all, it had only been half a day since he became her godfather. If he refused, it would be understandable.

“No, I don’t disagree, but this idea requires careful long-term planning,” said Shao Hengjiang, worried about the danger, especially since he had heard Nangong Yan mention going ahead to the front.

Knowing Shao Hengjiang did not disagree, Nangong Yan was somewhat pleased. She added, “Godfather, the feud between you and Qiandu Xiang has grown deep. Right now, he only has a ship’s crew with him. If we join forces with Ouyang Yue’s people ahead, they will definitely not be our match. We can surround them; it’s a golden opportunity. Then, we won’t even need the Sacred Spirit Stone to defeat them.”

It was indeed a daring idea. Nangong Yan was truly like him—always coming up with one idea after another. She had just acknowledged him as godfather at noon, and now she was already proposing an alliance.

“Do you have any other thoughts?” Nangong Yan was still afraid he might not agree. After all, she had just become his goddaughter that noon, and asking him to undertake such a task might seem too hasty. The relationship hadn’t had time to grow; how could she convince him?

“No,” he said. “I’m just worried about the danger, especially with you running wild in this forest. It’s not a good thing.” He was concerned for his daughter’s safety.

“It will be fine. When the time comes, I’ll be with Ye Chen. His martial arts are excellent, so he can protect me. As long as I get through, I believe I can find my father and the others. Then you all can strike together on signal, and we can surely surround them and defeat them,” Nangong Yan mused, confident that she would succeed if only she could convince her father.

“You’re not thinking of taking action right now, are you?” As night was approaching, Shao Hengjiang muttered to himself, considering the girl’s analysis to be quite reasonable. His animosity with Qiandu Xiang had intensified, and now was indeed an excellent opportunity to surround them, one from the front and one from the back.

“Yes, I’m taking action right now. There’s no time to waste; I must go find my father.”

“But it’s getting dark soon.”

“That’s okay. I can protect myself.”

“Your father might not trust me. He might not cooperate when the time comes.”

“He will. I will find a way to convince him,” Nangong Yan continued. “You don’t have ulterior motives and won’t back out at the last moment, will you?”

Shao Hengjiang really couldn’t dare to do so. If he dared, he would completely lose his daughter. He had just found his biological daughter and couldn’t let such a thing happen, so he shook his head.

“That’s good to hear. I really do think of you as my godfather.”

Shao Hengjiang gave a slight smile.

“Then it’s settled. I need to find that monkey. Don’t worry, I will surely convince my father and Ouyang Yue’s people to join forces. We can definitely succeed.” Nangong Yan added, “I believe you’re a good person. Don’t let me down, or I will be terribly sad.”

Looking into his daughter’s eyes, he was reminded of Fu Qiulan and hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, I swear.”

“That’s wonderful! We shall triumph, do something for the Thirty-Six Islands, and also make a fresh start for you.” She then turned cheerfully and walked toward Ye Chen in the distance.

Wan Liyun had been just behind them and heard the conversation between the father and daughter, still somewhat astonished. He came over, smiling, and said, “I see, she is your daughter.”

“Why do you say that?” Shao Hengjiang asked with a smile.

“Because she’s just like you—decisive and quick to act. The things she’s done on our Cangqiong would prove as much,” Wan Liyun said.

Shao Hengjiang smiled again.

Wan Liyun continued, “But she’s right. If we can really team up with Nangong Yan’s group, we can indeed surround Qiandu Xiang. Whether or not we get the Sacred Spirit Stone, we’d certainly remove a competitor.”

Shao Hengjiang looked at Wan Liyun.

Wan Liyun added, “It’s just that this Nangong Yao might not be willing to join hands with us.”

“I’ll write a letter to him,” said Shao Hengjiang.

“Do you really intend to cooperate with Nangong Yan to surround Qiandu Xiang?”

“It wasn’t what you said.”

“What about the Sacred Spirit Stone? Are you really giving it up, deciding to help them like this?”

Shao Hengjiang didn’t speak, just gave a slight smile.

Wan Liyun rushed to say, “That’s not bad at all, exchanging it for a daughter, it’s worth it. Besides, we don’t have such great ambitions. If we really succeed and eliminate Qiandu Xiang, with Ke Yizhu gone, there should be no one else to trouble us.”

Shao Hengjiang nodded slightly, feeling the same way. This daughter, whom he had waited more than a decade to acknowledge as his goddaughter recently, was his only child, and he didn’t want to lose her. He then said, “After being a pirate for over a decade, don’t you find it tiresome?”

“That’s true. If we can use this opportunity to ease relations and help Ouyang Yue retake the Sacred Spirit Sect, they will surely be immensely grateful. A person like Qiandu Xiang cannot be left alone, he must be eliminated,” Wan Liyun said.

Shao Hengjiang spoke softly, “Qiandu Xiang is the current leader of the Sacred Spirit Sect. Once he’s dead, reclaiming the sect will only be a matter of time.”

“Right, we would be doing them a huge favor; they should properly thank us for it.” Wan Liyun could tell that Shao Hengjiang had made his decision.

Shao Hengjiang glanced at Wan Liyun, who had followed him for over a decade, always obedient, and asked, “Helping them and giving up the Sacred Spirit Stone, don’t you feel a bit of a pity?”

Wan Liyun laughed and said, “Ah, I don’t have such great ambitions either. If you gain a daughter, of course, I’m very happy about it.”

“Thank you.”

“Hey, don’t talk like that, it sounds too formal.”

Ye Chen was eating, and not long after, was called over by Shao Hengjiang.

Ye Chen was quite surprised and guessed a bit, glancing back, he said, “You wouldn’t really just do whatever your daughter says, would you?”

But Shao Hengjiang said, “She wasn’t wrong; what she said was very correct, this is indeed a good opportunity.”

“You came for the Sacred Spirit Stone, to give it up just like that, don’t you think it’s a pity?” Ye Chen asked curiously.

“There is a bit of pity, but it’s also worth it.”

Ye Chen was indeed surprised, looked over at the girl and said, “I’m truly shocked; I didn’t expect that a little girl could defeat your desire.”

“Ah, for my daughter, I don’t want to have regrets later on.” Suddenly, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it directly to Ye Chen. He didn’t give it to Nangong Yan because he feared the girl would secretly read its contents, and said, “Give this to Nangong Yao.” Nangong Yao was his senior brother.

“You want me to give it to him, but I don’t know Nangong Yao,” Ye Chen continued, “besides, I haven’t agreed to your daughter’s request yet.”

Shao Hengjiang smiled slightly and said, “I don’t want my daughter to see this letter.”

Ye Chen immediately understood.

“Nangong Yao, when he sees this letter, will join hands with me.”

“Heh, I never thought that a pirate could really become a good person. It’s almost unbelievable,” Ye Chen said as he took the letter and placed it in his chest.

Shao Hengjiang said, “Don’t worry, I’ll find a way to make them use the Sacred Spirit Stone to help you when the time comes.”

“I’m still somewhat astounded. I didn’t imagine that in just a few days, your mind would change so drastically. It’s really surprising, like a dream,” Ye Chen said, finding it hard to believe.

Shao Hengjiang gave a slight smile and said, “That’s all thanks to your efforts.”

Ye Chen smiled and said, “When you said you wanted to acknowledge her as your goddaughter, I simply spoke casually. I didn’t expect her to take it seriously. I’m really quite surprised.”

Shao Hengjiang replied, “I still want to express my gratitude to you.”

“No need to be so polite. After all, you gave me the Sacred Heavenly Technique; we had a deal,” Ye Chen said with a smile.

“Ah, you’re a pretty good person. You go about things in a reliable way.”

“So you didn’t think twice and simply promised your daughter to me,” Ye Chen continued, “But I have nothing going on with your daughter. All the things she told you before were false, because she was afraid you’d force her into marrying you and having children for you.”

Shao Hengjiang looked over.

“What I’m saying is the truth. I promise, though these days I’ve stayed in the same room as your daughter, nothing has happened, I swear. So, please don’t get the wrong idea that I’m your son-in-law.”

“What, you don’t want to admit it?”

“Hey, I never made a decision from the beginning. It was you and your daughter who pushed and pulled me into this. I already have someone in my heart,” Ye Chen said.
