Chapter 915 - Sudden Change
Get a glimpse of "Red Heart Patrols the Sky" Chapter 915: The same sentence coming from Chu Mi might just be a joke, because he used... Continue the adventure now!
The same sentence coming from Chu Mi might just be a joke, because he used it only to deceive others.But when Ding Jingshan said it, the meaning was completely different, because he truly fought for and held onto that sentence for many years.
Jiang Wang hesitated for a moment before explaining, âIsland Master, between me and Granny Bizhu of the Diao Hai BuildingâŚâ
Ding Jingshan raised his hand to interrupt him, âI donât care how Elder Bizhu died, and I donât care about the grievances between you.
Iâm telling you this sentence not to criticize you or to make any demands.â
âYou are undoubtedly a genius, Jiang Wang.â
Ding Jingshan said, âI just hope that you can hear it with your ears and remember it in your heart.
One day in the future, you might also tell this sentence to someone else.â
This was a pure exchange between an old soldier and a new recruit.
It was the expectation of a warrior who had fought in the Lost World for years towards his successor, with no other mixtures.
Jiang Wang fell silent for a while before saying, âI think this mountain will have a name in the future.â
Once the war between the Human Race and the Sea Clan was over, and the Lost World became a place where some of the Human Race lived, it would naturally have a name.
People were good at giving their homes all sorts of meaningful names.
Ding Jingshan smiled, âGo back, I have nothing else.â
Jiang Wang bowed deeply with due respect.
He recognized that the figure sitting before him was a true hero, a pure defender of the sea frontier.
Perhaps he was not very famous in the present world, and not many people even knew about him.
But that did not diminish his greatness.
His meeting with Ding Jingshan seemed to yield nothing, yet it felt as if he had gained a lot.
The world was so vast that the more one saw, the more one felt their own insignificance.
After descending the mountain, he had not gone far when a voice chased after him, âSir, sir!
Please wait!â
There was no one else around, and Jiang Wang turned his head to see Chu Mi hurrying over.
At first, he wondered if Fu Yanqing was in league with Chu Mi.
Although he guessed wrong at the time, this fellow really hadnât given up.
What a âpersistentâ conman.
Jiang Wang flicked his sleeve, looking at him leisurely, curious to see what tricks he had up his sleeve next.
Then he saw Chu Mi approach, bow deeply without saying a word, his head nearly touching the ground, âEsteemed sir, the other day I was blind to the treasure in front of me, here to apologize to you!â
Jiang Wang was taken aback, âWhat act are you putting on now?â
âTo tell you the truth!â Chu Mi stood upright, his expression turning mournful, tears flowing on cue, âIn the Lost World, Iâve been longing for the Celestial Sky great lord for so long!
The day I found out about your identity, I got too excited and ran home to cry.
By the time I stopped crying and came looking for you, you had already gone off into the wilderness.
You donât know what kind of days Iâve beenâŚâ
âStop right there, Iâm not any Celestial Sky great lord,â Jiang Wang quickly interrupted, âIâm the kind of Green Badge that catches and kills people; I donât handle cases.
If you have been wronged, Iâm not the one to turn to.â
âDonât be modest!â Chu Mi wiped his tears, âYou look distinguished, radiating treasures from your being, so young and youâve already become a Fourth Grade Green Badge, personally taught by Deity Zheng, received by Island Master Ding as soon as you arrived on the Floating IslandâŚ
If youâre not the Celestial Sky great lord, who else could be?â
None of what Chu Mi said could be connected to the Celestial Sky great lord.
Jiang Wang was dumbfounded for a moment before he caught on.
This was to say that he had good origins and a strong backing.
He shook his head in self-mockery, since when could he be mistaken for a rich second generation?
âGet to the point.
If thereâs an actual matter, just say it.
Stop crying in front of me, itâs rather frightening.â
âUhâŚâ Chu Mi decisively stopped the tears, âItâs like this, sir.
Iâd like to ask for your help to clear my name.
Iâve been wronged!
There are still three years left on my sentence in the Lost World, and I really canât stay here anymoreâŚâ
As he spoke, he sneakily passed over a Storage Box, concealed by his robe.
At this point, Jiang Wang finally understood.
This youngster thought he was a rich second generation with a powerful background, who had come to the Lost World to gold-plate his reputation.
He hoped to bribe his way into clearing his own name and leave the Lost World early.
Having only met Jiang Wang once, regardless of Jiang Wangâs identity or status, he always seemed to find a way to exploit the situation.
Quite the flexible thinker.
He was a talent indeedâŚ
Jiang Wang stepped back and turned to leave, âI donât think I can clear your name.â
This man named Chu Mi, regardless of why he was punished to the Lost World, couldnât clear himself of blame with such adept bribery techniques.
âSir!â Chu Mi hurriedly caught up, âI know you are accustomed to wealth, and these items might not catch your eye.
However, I really do have some good stuff, truly good stuff.â
Jiang Wang wasnât even interested in hearing what his good stuff was and simply turned back, smiling as he looked at him, âI am here in the Lost World on urgent business, and time is precious.
So, please donât bother me again,â
Chu Mi, who had been talking nonstop, was silenced immediately by Jiang Wangâs gaze.
That look didnât seem sharp, but it sent a chill through his heart.
After all, he was also a Cultivator of the External Building Environment, and on paper, his level shouldnât be lower than Jiang Wangâs, but faced with the gaping chasm of status he had conjured up in his mind, he felt profoundly intimidated.
âIâŚ
I understand.â
Jiang Wang turned to leave without wanting to pay him any more attention.
But just as he took two steps away, the ground suddenly shook violently.
He immediately reached for his sword and turned around, only to find Chu Mi had also instinctively adopted a defensive postureâin that instant, they both thought the other had suddenly made a move.
But they quickly realized it wasnât an attack from the other.
Instead, the entire Floating Island was undergoing a violent tremor.
What had happened?
They saw the same shock and suspicion in each otherâs eyes.
Suddenly, an answer emerged.
Because a majestic voice had already enveloped the skies, âpressingâ down.
âDing Jingshan!
Come out and meet your death!â
This voice was like a mountain descending from the heavens, pressing down so heavily that oneâs ears almost felt shattered.
It was followed by a series of piercing shrieks.
The two flew into the sky and looked out to see human Cultivators in a panic, rushing towards the direction of the Floating Island with a desperation that bordered on madness.
Those were all Transcendent Cultivators out on trials in the wilderness!
And the fact that people were fleeing from all directions indicated thatâŚ
enemies were approaching from all sides.
In other words, the entire Floating Island was besieged!
The great battle in the Ding Wei area had arrivedâŚ
so suddenly.
Several commands were then issued, spreading throughout the entire island.
âEnemy attack!â
âActivate the Array!â
âAll units follow the call to arms, assemble in war formation!â
The entire Ding Wei Floating Island mobilized in an instant.
Countless Cultivators took to the skies, ready for orders.
A colorless spherical shield rose, enveloping the entire Ding Wei Floating Island.
And the voice of Ding Jingshan also thundered outâ
âWhite Elephant King!
It seems you have chosen your own time of death!â
The attacker.
The Sea Clanâs White Elephant King!
