1666 Old Councilman, Jiang Xia (1/2)

Edited by Aelryinth

”Jiang Xia? Isn't he Jiang Feng's father?” Mo Fan asked curiously.

Wasn't Jiang Feng Little Flame Belle's mother? Yan Shi was Jiang Feng's mother, Chen Yi's grandmother!

When Chen Yi's grandmother was fighting the demon tree on Mount Kunyu, her strength was extremely close to that of a Forbidden Mage, and had almost toppled Mo Fan's understanding of how strong a Mage could be. He still remembered the shock he felt when he saw her destructive spells falling down from the sky like meteors!

However, the thing that touched Mo Fan the most was not her magic that was close to the level of a Forbidden Mage, but the remorse she had shown at the very end, the final words she had uttered with all her might while grabbing his hand.

Tang Zhong had no idea that Mo Fan had already met Lu Yi, who had changed her name to Yan Shi to conceal her identity.

Mo Fan described his encounter at Mount Kunyu to Tang Zhong. Tang Zhong was quite convinced that the Yan Shi whom Mo Fan mentioned was actually Lu Yi, the woman that had brought the Enforcement Union to its utmost brilliance.

”She betrayed the hopes of the people around her when choosing to pursue the path of a Forbidden Mage. It's true that becoming a Forbidden Mage was meaningless for her in that case. For a long time, I couldn't understand why she chose to give up in the end, but I finally know the reason now,” Tang Zhong sighed.

Don't let the people around you down!

Those were the final words of a half-Forbidden Mage to Mo Fan!

Sometimes, people only had themselves to blame for being left all alone in the world...

'What about the Tree of Vows?” Mo Fan asked.

”It was Senior Lu Yi that brought the Tree of Vows back. It was to ensure that the members of the Enforcement Union would devote themselves to their duties. If Senior Lu Yi is no longer around… maybe you can talk to old Councilman Jiang Xia. They worked on many operations together, and the Tree of Vows was one of them,” Tang Zhong said.

”Where is this Jiang Xia?” Mo Fan asked.

”Here in Hangzhou! He rarely involves himself in worldly affairs. He's preparing for his retirement, but I wouldn't recommend you talk to him,” Tang Zhong said.

”Why is that?”

”Jiang Xia's second wife is from the Lu Clan. He was the one pulling the strings behind the Beiyu Enforcement Union. I doubt he will go easy on you, considering what you did at Beiyu Mountain,” Tang Zhong said.

”I will never apologize for what happened at Beiyu Mountain,” Mo Fan said seriously.

”It sounds like trouble,” Mo Fan said.

”It's your call, there's nothing I can do to help you,” Tang Zhong shook his sleeves clean. He had no intention to put aside his pride and ask the old Councilman for help on behalf of Mo Fan!

Mo Fan asked Chen Yi about her grandfather. She told him that she had only met Jiang Xia once in her life, during a clan meeting held by the Zhao Clan. Jiang Xia was only there to go through the motions.
