Chapter 330: 330: Sentimental

Translator: 549690339

In the dense forest of the mountains, surrounded by the fragrance of flowers and birdsong, sunlight filtered through the gaps in the foliage. This place was peaceful.

Sitting facing each other, Jiang Xiaobai and AnRan had before them slices of sashimi fashioned from Salmon Dragon King. With delicious wine and roast meat at their side, anyone not knowing their circumstances would think they were on vacation.

After joyfully popping a slice of fish into his mouth and savoring the sweet, tender flavor, as well as feeling the surge of spirit energy rushing into his meridians and Dantian, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but exclaim in satisfaction.

Unable to resist, he had yet another piece.

“Fatty, what are your plans for the future?” Jiang Xiaobai asked AnRan between bites of fish.

“Me? Boss, what are your plans?”

With a shake of his head, AnRan said, “I don’t have any lofty ambitions. I’m already quite satisfied with the gains and progress I have made in this journey. My father will certainly be shocked when I go back and I will receive many rewards from my family.”

As he slowly spoke, AnRan seemed somewhat dispirited.

“What’s got into you?”

Jiang Xiaobai asked in surprise.

“Ah, I knew there was a big gap between me and you, boss. I also knew that I would be left behind by you soon, but I didn’t expect this day to come so quickly.”

To AnRan, Jiang Xiaobai was a monstrous genius. In normal circumstances, a fatty like him would not have the chance to interact with someone like Jiang Xiaobai.

And now they were sitting here, dining and drinking, like brothers. Despite all the peril, AnRan had experienced things he would never have dreamed of in his lifetime.

At the start, he approached Jiang Xiaobai because he knew Jiang Xiaobai was a wanted man of the Thousand Yuan Dynasty. He thought it would make his journey more challenging and exciting to be around him.

But he never imagined that their relationship could develop to where it was now.

This thought prompted a feeling of gloom and depleted energy.

After analyzing the events of the past few days, AnRan realized that Jiang Xiaobai was not simple and had more significant, dangerous things to do.

If he followed along, he would probably become a burden.

Jiang Xiaobai sighed deeply, taking in a breath of air.

All good things must come to an end.

The inevitable parting saddened him, indeed, he had to engage in more dangerous affairs. The Gu clan had left him, Jiang Xiaobai, unpeaceful. However, he was unwilling to let the score go unsettled.

This grudge against the Gu clan was deeply rooted in his heart. His foremost wish was to destroy them. Once the Gu clan was annihilated, he would have no enemies left.

In Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes, Zhongzhou in the Eastern Continent was only a stepping stone. Moreover, the increase in his strength and acquisition of resources here had been incredibly satisfying.

Especially since he had met so many people here and got his first little brother.

“We have to part eventually, don’t be so sentimental.” Jiang Xiaobai suddenly laughed, “Indeed, I do have an important task ahead, which is very dangerous. I know, Fatty, that you have grown fond of this lifestyle after the past month’s trial, but these are my burdens. I won’t drag you into this. I wouldn’t be fit to be your boss if I did.”

AnRan nodded, remaining silent.

He no longer had an appetite, even for his favourite Jiang Xiaobai-style roast meat or the deliciously fresh fish sashimi.

After a long, silent pause, AnRan suddenly asked: “Boss, regardless of what you’ve got planned, how do you plan to deal with the other cults?”

“Of course, we deal with them! These bastards dared to gang up against me. We can’t let it go. Also, the Thousand Yuan Dynasty owes me fifty billion, and THAT can’t be forgotten.”

Jiang Xiaobai declared, “Don’t worry, Fatty. This time, I will bring you along.”

As he spoke, it was as if he remembered something. He took out a palm-sized golden core and handed it to AnRan, “Here, the reward I promised you earlier. I won’t forget it.”

Looking at the golden core in Jiang Xiaobai’s hand, AnRan was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to accept it or not.

Only after a long time did AnRan reach out and take the golden core from Jiang Xiaobai’s hand with a laugh.

“Alright, the boss is rich anyway, it would be a waste not to accept it!”

Even though he said this, AnRan tightly held the gold core, deciding he would never use it in his life.

This was their testament of friendship.

“Work hard on your cultivation. Maybe by then I, your boss, can show you a broader world.”

Jiang Xiaobai laughed.

AnRan grinned, “Heh heh, that’s for sure. After we finish here, I’ll go back and train hard so I won’t fall too far behind you, Boss.”

The pair laughed. They stopped talking about parting and instead enjoyed their food and drink.

But in their hearts, there was a tinge of sadness at the thought of parting.

Such is the helplessness of goodbyes.

After a hearty meal and drinks, it was time for business. Evil Shadow Sect, the closest one to Sword Sea Sect, was the only one amongst the Four Sects and Five Schools recognized for their wickedness.

While they did not practice any magic techniques, the entire sect was deemed quite brutal, carrying a bad reputation and standing at the bottom of the Central Continents’ distain chain.

Yet, despite this, the strength of Evil Shadow Sect was fairly good, above average and not at the bottom among the four sects.

Only Dingtian Sect held the position at the bottom.

According to the jade slip Iron Dance Lady had given Jiang Xiaobai earlier, which marked the locations of these sects, he headed straight towards the Evil Shadow Sect following the map.

Upon reaching the place, he found that Evil Shadow Sect seemed to have built a small town outside the sect, or perhaps it was built within the town.

Either way, it was bustling with activity and the local residents were simple and honest, unlike the wicked behavior that had been speculated.

After exchanging a glance with AnRan, AnRan shrugged his shoulders, “Although the Evil Shadow Sect is despised, its strength cannot be underestimated. I only heard about it before.”

“Boss, how do we handle this? Do we do it like before?”

Jiang Xiaobai nodded in agreement, “Of course, we’ll do it like before. If I remember correctly, Evil Shadow Sect had sent quite a lot of people. Damn it, they always gang up against others. Today, if I don’t plunder your treasury, I, your boss, will change my surname!”
