Chapter 771 Time Flies
Jing Lunnan felt no need for courtesy with his own son, so he gladly accepted all the resources that Jing Yan had brought forth.
He, too, wished to ascend to Dao Emperor as soon as possible. With such an outstanding son, he felt it was imperative not to fall short as a father.
Moreover, Jing Lunnan harbored a resolute thought in his heart—to save Chu Lianxing, his wife. He longed to rescue her personally.
"Jing Yan, how is the family doing now? I want to go back and have a look; it’s been over thirty years since I last visited!" Jing Lunnan said to Jing Yan after he had put away the resources.
His primary desire was to check on his own father, Jing Tian.
"The family is doing well. However, Grandfather passed away nearly twenty years ago," Jing Yan said with a darkened expression.
"What?" Jing Lunnan’s voice carried a tinge of sorrow.
Upon learning of his father Jing Tian’s departure from this world, Jing Lunnan’s desire to visit his family diminished significantly, and eventually, he dismissed the thought, prioritizing his advancement to Dao Emperor instead.
...
Time flies swiftly by.
In the blink of an eye, a year had passed. During this year, Jing Yan spent most of his time residing in the Hall Master Mansion, occasionally meeting with old friends for drinks.
He gave only two simple lectures on alchemy at the Splendid Dojo because he took the time to give personal guidance to Guiyang the Great Pill King each time.
