Chapter 657 (1/2)

Chapter 657: Chapter 282: Return to Li Yan Island Chapter 657: Chapter 282: Return to Li Yan Island Fortunately, Master Han Bingyan bore no ill will, and Zhang Jian actually benefited from the misfortune as it significantly advanced his cultivation.

Thinking of Zhang Jian,

Lin Jing couldn’t help but recall the time in the Nanming Domain when Zhang Jian was about to undergo his Tribulation.

He had originally planned to act as his protector during the Tribulation.

But just then, he found himself being chased by an elder of the Nanming Immortal Sect.

This delay caused him to miss Zhang Jian’s Tribulation.

By the time he had dealt with the elder and met with Ye Yun, who had been looking for him,

he learned from Ye Yun that Zhang Jian had already successfully transcended the Tribulation.

At that time, Lin Jing was traveling with Shi San, and since Zhang Jian had already succeeded, he did not return.

Instead, he continued on his journey.

Now, thinking back, he still owed Zhang Jian a promise.

…

Just as Lin Jing was reminiscing about the past, suddenly two people broke into his Divine Sense range.

Two acquaintances familiar to Lin Jing.

Among these two, one was Yue Qiniang.

And, coincidentally, the other was none other than Zhang Jian.

The two of them flew on their swords towards Li Yan Island, and it was at this moment that Zhang Jian spoke to Yue Qiniang:

“Qiniang, ah.”

“Do you really have no idea when Brother Lin will be back?”

Yue Qiniang looked helpless as she replied:

“Elder Zhang.”

“I truly don’t know when the Island Master will return.”

“It’s not just me, even his disciple, Ye Yun, has no idea when he’ll be back.”

Seeing Yue Qiniang’s expression, it seemed that this wasn’t the first time Zhang Jian had asked this question.

Zhang Jian pursed his lips before speaking:

“He had promised to help me with my Tribulation, but when the critical moment came, he was nowhere to be found.”

“Fine, people disappear, but to vanish for such a long time…

I’m beginning to wonder whether he went off to get married and have kids in the Nanming Domain.”

As he finished speaking, Zhang Jian, with great interest, turned to Yue Qiniang and said:

“Qiniang, do you think Brother Lin might truly have some canary kept hidden away in the Nanming Domain, indulging in pleasures day and night, which is why he’s not returned?”

Yue Qiniang was rather speechless regarding Zhang Jian.

“Elder Zhang, our Island Master is not that sort of person.”

Having said this, Yue Qiniang glanced at Zhang Jian and couldn’t help but add in her mind:

“He’s not like you.”

Zhang Jian had a habit, or rather, a hobby.

It was to rescue little girls and raise them to be his maids.

This was apparent even at their first meeting with Lin Jing, and Zhang Jian made no effort to hide this particular indulgence.

The point is, he’s all talk and no action.

The real him did indeed take in some pitiful girls as maids, but he never laid a hand on any of them.

Moreover,

he treated those girls quite well.

He provided them with Cultivation Techniques if they needed them, Elixir Medicine if necessary, so it wasn’t at all like he was raising them to be mere maids.

In Zhang Jian’s words:

“It’s the fun in nurturing them; you wouldn’t understand!”

Because of this, the maids held him in high regard as well.
