At this time, Jiang Yan stepped forward.

He took out a ball of emerald green flame from his arms and slowly handed it to Ji Xiuping.

"This is the strange fire left by your eldest brother."

Ji Xiuping was stunned and shook his head to refuse.

"No, this is given to you by your elder brother. It should belong to you."

Jiang Yan smiled slightly and said gently, "I do accept it, but its final ownership is decided by me."

He looked at Ji Xiuping softly, gazing into the other's confused pupils.

"It belongs to whoever I choose to give it to, doesn't it?"

"And now...it's yours."

Ji Xiuping's heart suddenly shook, as if something had touched him.

He was silent for a moment, then stretched out his fingers with trembling fingers and took the strange fire.

Flames swirled in his palms.

At this moment, in Ji Xiuping's eyes, this was not just a ball of heavenly fire, but also the will and expectations of his elder brother.

He raised his head slightly and looked at Jiang Yan.

"Thanks....."

Jiang Yan smiled.

Then he whispered, "Your elder brother is an amazing man."

Ji Xiuping smiled bitterly.

"If Big Brother could hear you praising him like this, he would definitely be very happy."

After saying this, he lowered his head and stared at the dancing flame in his hand, his mind full of thoughts.

He knew that from today on, he could no longer rely on anyone.

The road ahead can only be walked by yourself.

He must take on the unfinished responsibilities of his brother to protect the Chiyan Dynasty and this land.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiuping's eyes gradually became firm.

He clenched his fists and whispered to himself, "I won't let Big Brother down, and the Chiyan Dynasty won't go astray again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ming's voice came from behind him: "Whether Chiyan can continue to prosper depends entirely on how you control it."

"The Greedy Wolf Legion and I will be stationed here temporarily to help you through this turbulent period."

"But the ultimate future still depends on you to protect it."

Ji Xiuping took a deep breath and bowed, "Thank you, Master Jiang Ming."

at the same time.

Jiang Yan stood aside, staring into the distance with a complicated expression.

Along the way, there was the betrayal of Chi Huang, the rebellion of soldiers and generals, and the sacrifice of Ji Xiutian.

Scenes flooded through my mind.

"Everything started from the Central Region."

"But the countless creatures in the Central Region are not at fault themselves and should not be implicated."

"Only those invaders who attempt to subvert the Four Realms, plunder other people's homes, and treat people as slaves...they deserve death!"

At this moment, even someone as gentle as Jiang Yan could not suppress the anger in his heart.

Then, without saying anything more, he turned around and left the Chiyan Imperial Capital, embarking on his journey home alone.

I felt heavy-hearted along the way.

Even though I was flying in the vast sky, the depression in my heart was still hard to dispel.

Back at Cangwu Mountain, there is peace and tranquility.

But at this moment, the tranquility seemed so jarring, as if in stark contrast to the chaos in his heart.

Jiang Yan walked heavily on the mountain path, his steps as if he was carrying a thousand-pound burden, his eyes were confused and his mind was in a mess.

Before I knew it, I had arrived at the Cangwu Academy.

Suddenly, a familiar and warm voice came from the front: "Brother Yan, you are back."

"Brother Jiang Yan! Brother Jiang Yan is back!"

Several childish voices followed.

Jiang Yan raised his head slightly.

I saw Jiang Chen standing in front, surrounded by the children from Qianlong Academy.

"Hey, Brother Jiang Yan, where's the big cat on your shoulder? Did you hide it?"

Jiang Nannan tilted her head, her face full of curiosity, holding a candy and handing it to Jiang Yan.

"But...Brother Jiang Yan, you don't look too happy. How about a candy? It's very sweet. I eat one every time I feel unhappy."

"Stop it." Jiang Lei shook his head. "Brother Jiang Yan isn't a child. How could he possibly be happy just by eating candy? He might even become unhappy after eating your candy."

"That's right, Jiang Nannan is a big idiot!" Jiang Jie took the opportunity to mock Jiang Nannan.

After saying that, feeling the pain coming from his forehead, he reached out and rubbed the small red and swollen bump on it.

The origin of the small packet was that not long ago, Sister Zhiwei "informed" the Lord of the Mansion and revealed the extra income she earned by "storytelling", which led to her being beaten by the Lord of the Mansion.

It's been several days, but the swelling hasn't gone down yet!

Thinking of this, Jiang Jie couldn't help but get angry and blamed Jiang Nannan in his heart.

Back then, on the day when he was in trouble, besides the Lord of the Mansion and Sister Zhiwei, there was also this annoying Jiang Nannan.

It was because of that other party that his embarrassing stories spread throughout the entire Cangwu Academy within a day and became a laughing stock for many clansmen.

So, during these days, whenever he saw an opportunity to confront Jiang Nannan, he would never let it go.

Jiang Nannan looked at Jiang Qi and said in an unconvinced tone, "Brother Jiang Yan is not unhappy because of the candy!"

After saying that, he glared at Jiang Jie in dissatisfaction: "You are the idiot! Jiang Jie is the dumbest idiot in the world!"

"Humph! Jiang Nannan is obviously the dumbest idiot in the world!"

"Nonsense! You are!"

"Lululu, I won't listen. Jiang Nannan is the biggest fool!"

“…”

Seeing this, Jiang Yan felt a little warm in his heart, and forced a smile on his tired face.

At this time, Jiang Chen noticed the heaviness in Yan Di's heart.

So, he turned his head slightly and said to the children, "Your brother Jiang Yan just came back and is still a little tired. Why don't you go to brother Jiang Hao first, okay?"

"Know it!"

Everyone responded one after another.

They also noticed that Brother Jiang Yan was in a bad mood, and they couldn't help much by staying, so it would be better to hand it over directly to the Lord of the Mansion.

Anyway, in their hearts, the Lord of the Mansion is almost omnipotent and can do anything. It’s just a matter of coaxing Brother Jiang Yan, which is a small matter!

What's more, compared to staying with the Lord of the Mansion, they still prefer to stay with the "King of Children" Jiang Hao who is of similar age.

Wait until the children are far away.

Jiang Chen walked up, patted Jiang Yan's shoulder with his hand, and said with the gentle concern of an older brother: "Tell me, brother Yan, what happened?"

Jiang Yan was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and whispered, "Brother Chen, I just came back from the Red Flame Dynasty, and I'm feeling very confused..."

Jiang Chen frowned slightly, but maintained a gentle tone: "Red Flame Dynasty? What exactly happened?"

Jiang Yan sighed and recounted the story of how Chi Huang betrayed the Eastern Region, Ji Xiutian rebelled against his father, and finally committed suicide to apologize.

When he mentioned Ji Xiutian, his eyes were full of regret.

After listening to this, Jiang Chen fell silent.

Finally, he nodded slightly.

"Ji Xiutian...I still remember him."

"I didn't expect this guy to have such courage. He's truly a hero."
