In Chapter 627 of "Red Heart Patrols the Sky": Twenty-seven Path Origin Stones, for Jiang Wang now, are an incredibly tiny number, almost negligible.But... Discover the next events!

Twenty-seven Path Origin Stones, for Jiang Wang now, are an incredibly tiny number, almost negligible.But as he looked at the box in front of him, not quite filled with Path Origin Stones, he felt they were more precious than anything in the world.

Jiang Anan was only six years old, and had just turned six on the twelfth of October that had passed.

On that day, Jiang Wang was in Linzi, fighting a life-and-death battle with Wang Yiwu.

How could such a six-year-old child have saved up twenty-seven Path Origin Stones?

He could almost imagine how little Anan must have scrimped and scraped, like a little miser, collecting what she considered treasures.

Lost in thought as he gazed at the box of Path Origin Stones, Jiang Anan blinked and said, “I earned these by running errands for my uncle, senior brother, and senior sister…

Can they help with your cultivation?”

She didn’t spell it out, but her eyes clearly sought praise.

Jiang Wang came back to his senses and hugged Jiang Anan tight, “They’re a huge help!

If brother ever reaches the Transcendent pinnacle, you’ll definitely have played a big part in it!

Jiang Anan, how did you become so capable?”

Jiang Anan giggled gleefully, her face brimming with pride.

After a while, Jiang Wang said, “Actually, brother also has a gift for you.”

“Having brother come back is already the best present!”

Jiang Anan’s sweet talk made Jiang Wang burst into laughter, but the anticipation in her eyes betrayed her.

“What gift?” she asked softly.

Jiang Wang sat little Anan down on a stool and started to pull out gifts one by one from his Storage Box.

Candied clouds from You Nation…

All kinds of famous snacks from Qi Country…

The iron pulp fruit given by Lian Que of Nanyao City…

The famous Eight Tones Tea from Linzi, Misty Lady Pipa, Melancholic Wine Drinker, Hidden in the Clouds…

All were uniquely delicious delights Jiang Wang had tasted.

No matter where he was, he always remembered he had a sister with a sweet tooth.

Whatever he tasted and found delicious, he had prepared a share for Jiang Anan as well.

These were the delicacies from his travels, and all the experiences he laid out before his sister.

With each item he put down, Jiang Anan’s eyes shone brighter, until at last, they curved into crescent moons.

“Brother, you’re so good!”

“Who wouldn’t be nice when there’s food involved?” Jiang Wang remarked with feigned disdain, then pulled out a finely crafted pink Storage Box.

“I’m giving you this Storage Box.

You can keep whatever you can’t finish right away in here; it won’t go bad.

You can enjoy it slowly over time.”

This Storage Box was very pretty, and the surface was engraved with a chubby, lifelike squirrel.

It was a new product from Mo Gate this year, the exquisite Squirrel Box, with double the capacity of the ordinary Storage Box Jiang Wang had, yet it was smaller and more exquisite.

Storage Boxes were expensive.

A regular Storage Box was priced at around a hundred Prime Stones, but this pink Squirrel Box cost a staggering three hundred Prime Stones!

Jiang Wang himself hadn’t splurged on one, but he had prepared it for Jiang Anan.

All the way, Xiang Qian complained that Jiang Wang was stingy, too frugal with his spending.

Even in his dealings with Hell Has No Door, Jiang Wang was thrifty and haggled with Zhongxuan Sheng.

Xu Xiangqian lived off others in Linzi day in and day out, from Li Longchuan to Yan Fu, without softening at all.

But it was always difficult to get benefits from Jiang Wang…

However, Jiang Wang wasn’t like this in the past.

When he was an outer disciple at the Taoist academy, he lived for the moment, spending freely as he pleased, not minding when his silver disappeared with the night’s merriments.

And when did he start to “change”?

It began when Jiang Anan, in her attempt to help him pay back what he owed Zhao Rucheng, started making money through cheating at school.

By now, Jiang Anan had started licking the candied clouds, forever her favorite sweet.

They looked like clusters of rosy clouds perched upon bamboo sticks, inherently delicious in appearance.

One hand held the candied cloud, while the other tightly embraced the Squirrel Box.

She was near delirious with joy, “It’s so beautiful!”

Jiang Wang wiped the corner of her mouth and asked casually, “Sister Qingyu said you’re ready to take the Channel-opening Pill, is that right?”

Having studied in Lingxiao Pavilion for so long, Jiang Anan certainly knew what opening the meridians signified, her little mouth puckering as she nodded vigorously.

“So I will go and tell Sister Qingyu to arrange for your Channel-opening tomorrow.”

Jiang Wang let go, “You eat slowly, big brother is going back to Tingyun Pavilion first.”

In fact, Jiang Anan’s foundation had been well-established for a long time, and she could have opened her meridians earlier, but Ye Qingyu had been trying to obtain a Path Origin Grand Pill, which was why she had waited so long.

It had already been decided that if one wasn’t procured by year’s end, they would open her meridians with a first-grade Channel-opening Pill.

Since Jiang Wang had now brought the Path Origin Grand Pill with Zhongxuan Sheng’s help, there was no need to wait any longer.

Jiang Anan hurriedly put down the squirrel box and suddenly grabbed the hem of Jiang Wang’s clothing, of course not willing to let go of the food in her other hand.

She looked at Jiang Wang with a pitiful gaze, “Don’t go…”

Jiang Anan lived in a very inner part of the Lingxiao Pavilion, and Jiang Wang, as an “outsider,” was already transgressing by coming so deep into this place.

If it wasn’t for the Lingxiao jade token given by Ye Qingyu, he wouldn’t have been able to enter at all.

Staying here to rest would have been even more impolite.

After cultivating in Lingxiao Pavilion for so long and being well-cared for, Jiang Wang naturally wanted to show the utmost respect for the place.

Ruffling Anan’s hair, Jiang Wang smiled, “Big brother has things to do, I’ll see you tomorrow.”

As soon as Jiang Wang mentioned he had matters to attend to, Jiang Anan, despite her reluctance, did not cling on any longer.

She just pursed her lips and said, “Oh.”

“After the Channel-opening tomorrow, I’ll take you out to play,” Jiang Wang coaxed.

Jiang Anan’s face immediately brightened with a smile, “It’s a promise then!”

In the Tingyun Pavilion, Jiang Wang was holding the Lingxiao token, discussing with Ye Qingyu about arranging Anan’s Channel-opening for tomorrow.

Now that Jiang Anan was a Direct Disciple of Lingxiao Pavilion, such an important event as Channel-opening should still be performed under Lingxiao Pavilion’s protection.

This Lingxiao token was specially configured by Ye Qingyu; by infusing it with Path Origin, one could communicate with Ye Qingyu anytime within the secret grounds of Lingxiao.

The door was knocked on firmly, and Xiang Qian’s voice called out, “Jiang Wang!”

Without waiting for Jiang Wang’s response, he pushed the door open.

“I did knock, you know,” he added.

Jiang Wang had no choice but to temporarily pause his chat with Ye Qingyu, asking helplessly, “What’s the matter, can’t it wait until tomorrow?”

Walking a few steps anxiously, Xiang Qian found a chair to sit down on, with a look full of worry, “Did you explain to Anan that I just have a lackluster look in my eyes, not that I’m always half-asleep?”

He did look very concerned, but the problem he was worried about was indeed quite trivial…

But this was also very much in line with Xiang Qian’s personality.

If one day he was talking about the major trends of the world, that would be really shocking.

Faced with his question, Jiang Wang was honest, “We didn’t talk about you at all.”

“Impossible!

My flying sword technique, Qingming, is so dashing.

Who would not envy it?

Kids definitely can’t resist!” Xiang Qian insisted, but his tone quickly fell again, “Really, not even a mention?”

Jiang Wang spread his hands in a take it or leave it gesture.

Seeing his response, Xiang Qian felt greatly dissatisfied, “Did you specially call me to come all this way to flaunt how cute your little sister is and how beautiful your lover is?”

This time, it was Jiang Wang’s turn to feel awkward since Ye Qingyu was still listening on the other side of the Lingxiao token!

“Sister Qingyu and I have a relationship of gentlemen, don’t talk nonsense…”

“Forget it!” With a wave of his hand and the air of an experienced player, Xiang Qian chuckled coldly, “You’re willing to leave such a cute sister as Anan here for cooperation, what kind of girl wouldn’t you be able to woo?

Your ambition is crystal clear!”

“Anan is in Lingxiao Pavilion for a different reason, and Sister Qingyu is purely helping out…”

Jiang Wang was interrupted again while trying to explain.

“With the little Path Origin you have, don’t think you can fool me,” Xiang Qian pointed to his dead-fish eyes, “These eyes of mine, they’ve seen too much!”
