Chapter 818 - 821 Zhu Wenqiang’s Request
Jiang Family of Jincheng.
Jiang Chen and the others had returned a month ago.
Mo Bao and two others were arranged to stay in the Jiang Family, Mengte De’er and Xing Fei returned to Dingjing, Chen Jiantao and others left again after their injuries improved to find Shen Xiangtian and company.
During this month, Jiang Chen had been refining elixirs and practicing martial arts. When Chen Jiantao and his group left, Jiang Chen had given them the Polyporus Barrier Breaking Elixir to take to Xuan Long.
One day, Zhu Wenqiang came to the Jiang Family, looking for Jiang Chen.
"What did you say? You’re from a Martial Arts Family?!"
Jiang Chen looked at Zhu Wenqiang in surprise, he had never thought that this man could be from a Martial Arts Family.
"I... my mother was the wife of a Martial Arts Family Head along the river, but... due to mismatched social status, she was separated by the former Family Head, and later came to Jincheng and remarried to the Family Head of the Zhu Family."
Zhu Wenqiang nodded slightly, his face somewhat grim as he said, "However, when my mother remarried the Family Head of the Zhu Family, she was already pregnant with me, the old master of the Zhu Family was dissatisfied, after my mother died in childbirth, he found another wife for my stepfather, so although I am the young master of a second-tier family in Jincheng, my situation is quite miserable."
"So you came to find me because..." Jiang Chen looked at Zhu Wenqiang, somewhat puzzled; his family background did indeed sound complex!
Zhu Wenqiang hesitated for a moment, then spoke softly, "Actually, I wanted to ask for your help last time, but when that incident happened in the Jiang Family, I didn’t have the heart to disturb you. The family along the river found me six months ago, saying that the elderly master of that Martial Arts Family was about to celebrate his eightieth birthday, and remembered me and wanted to see me, I... I’m worried..."
"You’re worried that you’ll be targeted by that Martial Arts Family once you return?" Jiang Chen asked softly.
