The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"N-nothing... it's nothing..." Little Peach Blossom shook her head and said, "Young Sect Master, we really did break up peacefully..." "Is that so? Good, then I'll summon Kang Jingming here for a confrontation! Let's see just what game the two of you have been playing!" Tianchan said coldly. "No... Young Sect Master, then I'll tell you the truth—please don't... don't hold him to account, all right?" Little Peach Blossom said in a fluster. "Go on, let's hear the situation," Tianchan said mildly. "It's like this..." Little Peach Blossom naturally dared not hide anything from Tianchan, and so she told her the whole affair with Kang Jingming. Tianchan's brows knitted tighter and tighter as she listened, and inwardly she cursed Kang Jingming as no good thing, an ingrate who forgot his benefactors—but there was nothing to be done. Tianchan did not wish to offend Patriarch Xuanchen over such a trifle; after all, Kang Jingming was now the Patriarch's disciple, and moreover the only man in the Xuandan Sect capable of refining the Marrow-Cleansing Bone-Transforming Pill. Unless it were a grave matter, Tianchan truly could not well punish him! Yet at the same time, Tianchan felt a measure of relief. She had never wanted Little Peach Blossom and Kang Jingming together in the first place, but Little Peach Blossom had set her heart on loving Kang Jingming, and she could not stand in the way. Now that they had broken up, so much the better. So she said, "Little Peach Blossom, if you've broken up, then you've broken up. From now on, you'll stay at my side as before." "Ah? Young Sect Master, at your side—aren't there already Tianxi and the others..." Little Peach Blossom said, slightly taken aback. "Tianxi's main task is cultivation; the trivial matters will still be yours to handle," Tianchan said. "As for your engagement to Kang Jingming, I'll announce its cancellation shortly. You needn't fret over this any longer." "Ah! Thank you, Young Sect Master..." Little Peach Blossom was overcome with gratitude, her heart now wholly pledged to Tianchan—and at the same time she felt herself a fool for having believed Kang Jingming's words... And so Kang Jingming and Little Peach Blossom dissolved their engagement in a peaceful manner. Patriarch Xuanchen merely asked a question or two, and Kang Jingming answered vaguely, and he asked no more. He did not care about such things, nor did he consider betrayal and faithlessness anything shameful. Little One and Little Eleven had made their preparations as well. The two of them packed up and, travel-stained, set off for East Sea City. The Sun family residence stood in a small town not far from East Sea City, and one had to pass through East Sea City and change trains there. Little One did not drive too fast—after all, there was an invalid in the car. Though this invalid had once been a cultivator, he was now gravely ill and could not withstand rough handling; Little One truly feared the man might be jolted to death on the road. At last, after dozens of hours of long journeying, Little One brought the car to a stop before the gates of the Sun family villa. "Is this the secular Sun family?" Little One asked aloud after getting out of the car. The secular Sun family was a distinguished clan in these parts. Especially after joining Wei Zhao's Cultivators' Association, their status had risen, and now even the hidden families did not dare lightly provoke the Suns—which had, in turn, fostered Old Master Sun's haughty temper. Hearing someone shouting loudly at the gate, how could he let it pass? So Old Master Sun said to Sun Gangjin, Sun Yikai's father, "Gangjin, go out and see who dares to make such an uproar at our gate. Does he have a death wish?" "Yes, Father!" Sun Gangjin nodded and strode out of the Sun residence. Arriving at the gate, he saw a young man of about thirty standing there shouting, and Sun Gangjin smiled coldly. "Since you know this is the secular Sun family, and still you make such a racket here—
