Chapter 125: Regrets
Humming a song, Jayden walks out of the house, he was in a great mood.
” How was your time there? ” Anna’s melodious voice rang in his ears.
” It was one hell of an experience. ” Jayden replied, not wanting to think about any of that.
” Anyway, how was your day? ” Jayden asks, changing the subject.
” Boring. It’s too quiet here. ” Anna replied.
” Where exactly are you? ” Jayden asks the thing he had wanted to ask many times before.
” It’s a faraway place, where even God would fear to come. ” Anna spoke mysteriously.
” Don’t tell me are you inside… ” Jayden paused and then asked:” Inside hell. ”
” Hell, huh? Maybe it’s hell. ” Anna said, before turning silent.
“…”
Jayden was quietly walking towards Wang Jia’s residence, pondering Anna’s words.
” Have you figured out the reason for all those strange occurrences in the golden bamboo forest? ” Anna asks after a couple of minutes.
” You mean those sucking Demons and that brain monster? ” he questions.
” Hmmm,” Anna hummed in response.
” I think I did. ” Jayden said, then explained:” I think all those monsters were able to teleport inside the Kingdom due to the rifts created in reality because of the high energy consumption by the golden bamboo. ”
” You’re right, and you also know who placed that golden seed there? ” Anna asks, she has already gotten used to Jayden’s intelligence.
” Yeah, it’s the king of the Beginning Kingdom, I found out about it from the message that my task gave,” he concluded.
” What a heartless bastard, if it was left to grow for a few more weeks, more than half of the population of this Kingdom would have been killed. ” Anna hissed.
Jayden nodded, as he was passing by an alley, he saw two persons kissing while hugging each other. He turned his head away and decided to ignore them.
His steps halted as he remembered that one of the person present in that alley was someone he knew. It was Bao whom he had saved before from three men before, looking closely Jayden saw that both the people in the alley were boys.
” Oh ho, what do we have here? ” Jayden spoke.
Hearing his voice, both of them jumped back in surprise, they looked towards the place where the voice came from in fear.
” Wang Jin, is it you? ” Bao asks, shifting around uncomfortably.
” let’s meet later. ” the other boy said and ran away.
” So you swing that way? ” Jayden asks.
” Hmm? What do you mean? ” Bao asks in confusion.
” I mean, you play in the same team? ” Jayden rephrased his question.
” Huh? ” Bao still looked confused.
” You like men? ” Jayden asks patiently.
” Y-Yeah, did you knew? ” Bao spoke with an embarrassed expression.
” No, but the first time I saw you, I felt that you were into sticks. ” Jayden said.
” Do you also like men? ” Bao asked, staring at Jayden’s devilishly handsome face.
” No, I’m married. And aren’t you the son of one of the elders, fifth elder I think. ” Jayden asks, after seeing Bao’s memories.
” I… I- please don’t tell anyone about this. ” Bao begged, forgetting the earlier part of Jayden’s sentence.
” Don’t worry, I’m not a snitch. But I’m going to need your help in the near future, what do you think? ” Jayden spoke.
” Okay, as long as you keep it a secret, I will do whatever you ask me to. But what kind of help do you need? ” Bao spoke hastily.
” I’ll tell you later, it is something related to the grandson of the third elder, Qiang. ” Jayden said.
The image of a handsome man came into Bao’s mind, as a dreamy look appeared on his face.
” Okay, I’ll talk to you later. ” Jayden looked at his dreamy state and turned to leave.
” You can’t tell anyone. ” Bao called out from behind.
…
Jayden walked away without looking back, in his mind, he was forming a plan to give a big surprise to Xiao Rong. Qiang was her fiance, and also the second genius of the sect.
Although Qiang has a higher cultivation level than her, but the rate of Xiao Rong’s growth is much faster, that’s why she became the number one genius in the sect.
After walking for a few more minutes, Jayden appeared in front of Wang Jia’s house, it looked as magnanimous as ever.
” She has some guests. ” Jayden muttered after sensing the presence of more than one person in the house.
*KNOCK* *KNOCK*
After knocking on the door he steps back, waiting for Jia to open the door.
*CLICK*
When the door opened, Jayden saw a young man in his mid twenties, glaring at him disdainfully.
” What do you want? ” the man asked, showing no respect to him.
Narrowing his eyes, Jayden spoke:
” Move aside, I want to meet my Mother. ”
” Oh? ” the young man looked surprised, then he burst out laughing: ” Hahahahaha You’re the famous boy toy of the Divine Sword Sect, the son of the matriarch. ”
After laughing for a dozen of seconds, his expression turns cold as he shouts:
” Get lost while I’m asking nicely, we’re currently having an important meeting with ‘your mother’, or I might need to throw you away. ”
Jayden stared into his eyes, and in the next instant, the young man’s body froze. With an evil smile on his face, Jayden gave a few instructions to the young man, which he immediately complied with.
…
Inside the house, Wang Jia and the patriarch of the Mountain Fist sect were having a meeting. They were planning to create an alliance between the two sects.
The patriarch of the Mountain Fist sect, Bi Wu, was an old man nearly 130 years old, his body was thin and he looked like a patient. He was in the Spirit Strengthening realm, his strength almost on par with Wang Jia.
Staring at Wang Jia lustfully, Bi Wu spoke:
” Miss Wang, you made a great decision, with the combined strength of our sects we’ll both benefit a lot from it. ”
Wang Jia have long gone used to such stares, ignoring his gaze, she replied:
” I’m only doing what’s best for the sect, as for the next competition, we will- ”
*KNOCK* *KNOCK*
Hearing the sound, Jia tried to sense the person outside her house, but surprisingly she failed. ‘ Maybe whoever is outside is using some kind of treasure. ‘ she thought.
Just as she was about to stand, the young man standing behind Bi Wu, spoke:
” Matriarch, let me receive your guest. ”
And before she could reply, the young man walked towards the main door of the house. Wang Jia turned her attention back to the meeting, as they began to plan the future of their alliance.
The two things Wang Jia loves the most are cultivation and her sect, nothing else matters to her much.
But lately, she has been having trouble cultivating, one of the reasons was the guilt in her heart towards her son and the other reason was quite strange, she couldn’t put it into words but she was missing Wang Jin, the only person who seemed to have cared for her.
Though she denied it to herself, she was anticipating her next meeting with ‘Jin’, and she also wondered what other methods he had of energy channelling.
Shaking her head, she tried to focus on the meeting, until she heard a loud noise.
*BANG*
Both of them stood up in alarm, glancing at each other, they walked towards the door. After reaching the main door, Wang Jia saw the young man standing at the gate with an arrogant expression, while Wang Jin was lying a few meters away, blood trickling down from the corner of his mouth.
” What happened here? ” she said, with a frown on her face.
” Haa, just because he is your son, he thought he could enter the house. I taught him a little lesson, have I done something wrong? ” the young man asked looking at his master.
After hearing that this boy was her son, Bi Wu wanted to scold his disciple, but remembering the things he had heard about her son, Bi Wu thought: ‘ I’d heard that she hates her son and even though so many people bullied him in the sect, she never helped him, maybe it’s a good thing my disciple showed him his place. ‘
” No, you did great, we need to teach such worms to behave, right Ms Wang? ” he asked flatteringly.
” Ah… ” Wang Jia felt conflicted, she wanted to stand for her son, but if she did then the alliance between the two sects might not form and it will affect the sect.
She walked towards Jayden, then helping him to get up, she asked: ” Tell me what happened? ”
Nodding, Jayden began to speak:” It started when he insul- ”
Interrupting Jayden, the young man spoke:
” Matriarch, it is your son’s fault, he tried to attack me first and from my side it was just self defense, you should teach him better. ”
Wang Jia looked at Jayden with conflicted eyes and spoke in a heavy tone: ” Wang Jin, you should apologise for your mistake. ” after saying that she immediately regretted it, but she needed to put matters of the sect first.
Jayden looked at her with a disappointed look on his face, making Jia feel even terrible, without saying anything, he raised his hand and then pointed his bracelet towards Wang Jia and he sent an orb of energy.
Averting her eyes away from Jayden’s face, Wang Jia waves her hand and the orb of her energy enters her bracelet.
As she looked up she saw that Jayden had already turned and was walking away. Wang Jia wanted to call out to him, but she couldn’t bring herself to do it.
