Chapter 37: Zhu Kun's Wealth

When you can't make up your mind, you often need others to give you advice.

Zi Yan looked at Jiang Xing beside her with a questioning gaze.

"Jiang Xing," she called softly.

Zhu Kun, who had been paying close attention to Zi Yan, naturally noticed her action.

Understanding that Jiang Xing must be very important to Zi Yan and fearing that Jiang might say something unfavorable, Zhu Kun quickly cast a pleading look at Jiang Xing.

His eyes seemed to say, "Brother, please, help me out here!"

Seeing Zhu Kun's pleading expression, Jiang Xing knew that his cooperation with Zhu Kun was on solid ground.

All he needed to do was assist Zhu Kun. Surely, Zhu Kun would be more than willing to return the favor in the future.

Jiang Xing nodded at Zhu Kun, signaling that he would take care of it.

So, Jiang Xing said, "Zi Yan, I don't think he did it on purpose. How about we give him a chance?"

Hearing that Jiang Xing was indeed pleading on his behalf, Zhu Kun immediately became excited and quickly made a promise.

"Yes, yes, Father didn't mean it. As long as you can forgive me, Zi Yan, I will agree to whatever you ask me to do."

Hearing Jiang Xing call her Zi Yan, Zhu Kun also addressed her as Zi Yan directly.

Zhu Kun was as humble as possible, and in front of Zi Yan, he didn't act like the powerful nine-star Dou Sheng that he was.

Hearing Jiang Xing also plead for Zhu Kun, Zi Yan felt a little less resentful towards him.

However, though her resentment lessened, Zi Yan still didn't say that she wanted to forgive Zhu Kun.

Seeing Zi Yan's silence, the inexperienced Zhu Kun didn't know what to do and just stood there anxiously.

At this point, neither of them knew what to say, so Jiang Xing naturally stepped in to smooth things over.

"Senior, how should I address you?" Jiang Xing asked politely.

"You don't have to call me senior. My name is Zhu Kun. You and Zi Yan are friends. Just call me uncle," Zhu Kun responded, his tone warm and approachable.

Zhu Kun naturally had a good impression of Jiang Xing, who had just pleaded for him. He didn't act like a strongman, but behaved very amiably.

At the same time, Zhu Kun didn't forget to mention Zi Yan, trying to get closer to her.

"Uncle Zhu Kun, you see, although you didn't abandon Zi Yan on purpose, it is undeniable that it was because of you that Zi Yan was bullied as a child," Jiang Xing pointed out.

Zhu Kun didn't know how to coax Zi Yan, and Zi Yan had no way to express her feelings. At this time, Jiang Xing fully played the role of a peacemaker.

"I believe you must love Zi Yan as well, so you must want to compensate her, right?" Jiang Xing added.

Jiang Xing first pointed out Zhu Kun's mistake and then subtly hinted that Zhu Kun should offer something in return.

"You left your daughter behind for so many years. How can you just apologize without giving her something worthwhile?"

Zhu Kun, being the patriarch of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, had both emotional intelligence and IQ. He soon realized that Jiang Xing was helping him.

He looked at Jiang Xing gratefully and said, "Yes, it's my fault. I have always regretted not being with Zi Yan all these years. I couldn't make it up to her before, but now that Zi Yan is here, I can finally start to make things right."

Zhu Kun removed his storage ring and used his fighting spirit to control the ring, making it fly in front of Zi Yan.

At the same time, he didn't forget to apologize sincerely, "I'm sorry, Zi Yan. I hope you can forgive your father for his sincerity."

In truth, when Zi Yan learned that Zhu Kun had been trapped and hadn't intended to abandon her, most of her hatred for him had already dissipated.

Now that Zhu Kun was apologizing so sincerely, Zi Yan's remaining resentment was almost gone.

However, Zi Yan didn't take the ring that Zhu Kun had sent her. It was clear that the girl was too embarrassed to accept it.

If she took it directly, wouldn't that mean she forgave him because of these material things? She wasn't that kind of person.

Seeing what Zi Yan was thinking, Jiang Xing took the ring for her.

He then began to take out the items inside the ring. The contents were primarily scrolls.

Yes, Zhu Kun had been trapped for so long that he must have consumed all the pills he had brought with him, leaving only these inedible items.

After opening a scroll, Jiang Xing took a deep breath.

"Damn, any scroll I pick up is full of high-level heavenly fighting skills?" he thought.

Jiang Xing was so shocked that he quickly went through the other scrolls.

Only after Jiang Xing had examined all the scrolls did he lower his chin, stunned.

"Holy shit, there are more than forty books on heavenly-grade martial arts and fighting skills, including seven advanced heavenly-grade ones!"

The Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan is different from the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan and the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan. Their development has been uninterrupted.

The Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan was the overlord of the Warcraft world in ancient times. Even though Zhu Kun is now trapped in the Tushe Ancient Emperor Cave and the four major dragon islands are split, the other two Warcraft families still dare not offend them at all.

Moreover, Jiang Xing guessed that the Dragon Kings of the four Dragon Islands were definitely not the strongest.

The Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan must have some stronger elders who, because they don't want to get involved in internal conflicts, practice in seclusion and ignore worldly affairs.

"As expected of the overlord of the Warcraft world, who wouldn't be amazed after seeing so many Heaven-level martial arts fighting skills?"

With so many martial arts fighting skills, combined with those in Ancient Dragon Island, they could rival even the ancient Dou Di families!

Jiang Xing thought to himself, "Getting so many Heaven-level martial arts fighting skills made this trip completely worth it."

Although these fighting skills could only be used by the Taixu Ancient Dragons, Jiang Xing felt that as long as Zi Yan and the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan grew stronger, he would have more confidence in his future endeavors.

As for whether Zi Yan would forget him?

Jiang Xing didn't worry about that at all.

Although Zi Yan appeared carefree, she could definitely remember clearly who treated her well.

What's more, it was Jiang Xing who helped her find her family and clansmen. Zi Yan's gratitude towards Jiang Xing grew even more precious.

Seeing Jiang Xing checking the scrolls and expressing surprise, Zi Yan was a little confused. "Is what he gave really that good?" she wondered.

After marveling at the magnitude of Zhu Kun's gift, Jiang Xing began to explain to the puzzled Zi Yan.

Zhu Kun felt a little uneasy when he saw Jiang Xing take the storage ring on Zi Yan's behalf. But after Jiang Xing inspected the items and introduced them to Zi Yan, Zhu Kun realized that he had been judging others by his own standards.

If he hadn't been trapped in this designated area and Jiang Xing wasn't Zi Yan's friend, Zhu Kun might have wanted to bow to Jiang Xing and become his sworn brother.

Sure enough, after Jiang Xing introduced the fighting skills given by Zhu Kun, Zi Yan was even more shocked than Jiang Xing had been.

Jiang Xing had a six-star Dou Sheng grandfather, so although he hadn't seen many heavenly-level martial arts and fighting skills, he had definitely seen quite a few.

But Zi Yan was different. She grew up among monsters. Although she was eventually brought to Canaan College, the martial arts and fighting skills she had seen were at most earth-level.

Now that she saw so many heavenly-level martial arts and fighting skills she had never encountered before, how could she not be shocked?

"These... Are all these fighting techniques for me?"

Originally, she had thought that what Zhu Kun gave her were just some ordinary things, but she hadn't expected them to be so many heavenly-level martial arts and fighting skills!

Zi Yan was utterly shocked at this point.

"Of course, Zi Yan. These are just some of the compensation your father is offering you. When your father gets out, he'll definitely give you something even better."

Zhu Kun thought that Zi Yan was dissatisfied, so he continued to reassure her.
