Berserk God of War

Chapter 963: Chapter 963 Help Us Look Up a Person

Back then, Little Jiang was only a young teenager and did not follow along to the final battle.

After Su Old Demon was suppressed by the terrifying demon beast, his enemies began hunting down the remnants of these so-called Demons, and Little Jiang disappeared at that time. Old Xiu didn’t expect to see her here.

Aunt Jiang stood up, tears streaming down her face, crying like a child despite being middle-aged.

In front of Old Xiu and Old He, she was just like a child. She had endured so much hardship over the years.

The two elders before her were the first familial elders she had seen in decades.

Finally, once Aunt Jiang’s emotions calmed down a bit, Old Xiu smiled and asked, ”Little Jiang, were you the one who taught the Sword Killing Technique to the Captain of the Sky Wolf Team from the East Dominator Branch?”

”Yes, the two uncles recognized me because of Ah Yi, right?”

Aunt Jiang chuckled softly, feeling fortunate about this fact.

”Before my father went on the expedition, he recorded the Sword Killing Technique and left it with me. He told me to find a successor for him and Uncle Su if I ever had the chance. Ah Yi had a suitable character, so I passed it on to him.”

This is the origin of Yang Yi’s Sword Killing Technique, not something passed on by Su Old Demon as he recently passed through.

Old Xiu and Old He exchanged glances secretly; they had mistaken another successor, as Yang Yi was not the successor of the Eldest.

However, Old Xiu smiled with a wrinkled face.

”Yes, if it weren’t for seeing the Sword Killing Technique, and if we hadn’t wanted to check whether Yang Yi was the Eldest’s direct disciple, we might have missed you. This must be fate.”

After Sikong Jing and Yang Yi left, they secretly followed and met Aunt Jiang, then returned to the small clinic to wait for her.

Even though Yang Yi wasn’t the Eldest’s successor, they were still very happy.

”Little Jiang, how have you been all these decades? Are you married now?” Old He couldn’t help but ask with concern.

Aunt Jiang’s expression became slightly stiff, and she nodded, ”I am married and have a daughter who’s also a squad captain in the East Dominator Branch. I am the wife of the nominal Dominator, Yao Yulou.”

At these words, Old Xiu and Old He exchanged another glance.

Seeing their expressions, Aunt Jiang softly laughed, ”Don’t worry, uncles. No one knows about my past. Neither Yao Yulou nor my daughter, Hua Meixi, is aware of it.”

As her voice fell, the two elders let out a soft sigh of relief.

In the next moment, Old He asked with a slightly bemused expression, ”You’re married to Yao Yulou, yet your daughter has the surname Hua?”

Hearing this, Aunt Jiang had a faint look of remembrance and helplessness on her face.

She explained gently, ”There was once a deeply affecting past I thought I could abandon everything for and be with that man forever, but alas, all faded like smoke in the wind, better not mentioned.”

Her voice carried a faint sadness.

Then Aunt Jiang laughed again, ”I’m doing quite well now, except sometimes I get this paranoiac feeling that Yao Yulou isn’t as simple as he seems. I suspect he might have been sent by those who harmed Uncle Su to investigate me.”

”But perhaps not...”

”Anyway, it doesn’t matter anymore. He’s quite good to me, and Uncle Su has long since passed.”

Old Xiu and Old He exchanged a gentle look and then refrained from asking any more about Aunt Jiang’s personal matters.

Suddenly, a gleam flashed in Old Xiu’s eyes. ”Since your daughter is also a squad captain in the East Dominator Branch, and Yao Yulou is the nominal Dominator, Uncle Xiu here might have a favor to ask.”

Upon hearing this, Aunt Jiang nodded without hesitation, ”Please tell me, Uncle Xiu.”

Hearing this, Old Xiu immediately said, ”There is a young kid from the East Plain who recently arrived. He was fortunate enough to witness the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Map Illusion Realm left by your Uncle Su and has excellent Military Talent. Uncle Xiu would like you to assess his character.”

Old He added with a chuckle, ”Hehe, your Uncle Xiu wants to take a disciple.”

Upon hearing this, Aunt Jiang couldn’t conceal a sparkle in her eyes.

Uncle Xiu’s vision was famously high, as it always had been; ordinary people couldn’t catch his eye.

”I understand. What is the East Plain kid’s name that Uncle Xiu fancies?” Aunt Jiang asked again.

Old He laughed heartily, ”You just met him. He was the one with Yang Yi; his name is Sikong Jing.”

Upon hearing this, Aunt Jiang repeated the name ”Sikong Jing” a couple of times, then smiled and said she would remember it.

The three then chatted about the past and present.

When Aunt Jiang learned that Old Xiu had established a new power and that Uncle Su’s son was at Willow Leaf Saint Manor, her expression gradually became serious...

”Then I can’t stay here for long. If Yao Yulou is indeed here to investigate me, it might implicate the two uncles.”

”I shall take my leave now. I’ll come to see you two uncles next time I have the chance...”

Just like that, under the farewell of Old Xiu and Old He, Aunt Jiang left the small clinic.

She boarded a carriage and quietly left, then went to the next courtyard in the Chaotic Eighth District to continue delivering food to the children.

Old Xiu stood inside the small clinic and sighed, ”Little Jiang hasn’t changed; it’s just that life has given her too much sadness.”

”It’s a pity we mistook yet another successor of Eldest,” Old He also sighed.

He always felt that Eldest should have left a successor, yet neither Sikong Jing nor Yang Yi was one.

”But Yang Yi is indeed excellent, isn’t he?” Old Xiu said with a smile.

The small clinic returned to peace once more.

They had no idea that regarding Sikong Jing, they weren’t actually mistaken, but rather through some twist of fate, they hadn’t figured it out yet.

...

At the small courtyard where Yang Yi was, Xiao Min was truly recovered, and her congenital cold blood condition no longer tormented her.

Amidst the joyful laughter, Yang Yi rode Sikong Jing’s Iron Bone Flying Vulture swiftly toward the Hanyi District.

In the air, Yang Yi handed back nine-tenths of the Blood Coagulation Marrow Pill to Sikong Jing.

”I’ve used what I needed of this, thank you, Brother Sikong.”

Sikong Jing looked at him for a moment but still accepted the Blood Coagulation Marrow Pill back.

He knew Yang Yi didn’t want to be too indebted to him, and since the latter wouldn’t use the Blood Coagulation Marrow Pill, he couldn’t help but ask, ”Captain Yang, don’t you want to become a War Body?”

Shaking his head, Yang Yi replied, ”I don’t have a trace of War Body Bloodline in my body, so taking this won’t do me any good.”

Even to activate the Blood Coagulation Marrow Pill, there must be a trace of not-too-weak War Body Bloodline in the body, but Yang Yi didn’t have it.

Hearing this, Sikong Jing smiled and put the item away, saying, ”Then let’s keep it, for someone who needs it.”

At that moment, his heart was slightly moved; he had truly witnessed Yang Yi in action, and he was not inferior to the genius Wan Tonghui, who had a Fourth Grade Battle Body.

Although a non-combatant wasn’t entirely impossible, reaching such a level was indeed remarkable.

As if reading Sikong Jing’s thoughts, Yang Yi replied softly, ”It was that Aunt Jiang just now who gave me the combat prowess I have today. When I was young, I was just like those children, a homeless child.”

”Aunt Jiang gave me food, and later she said I had good potential, so she gave me a set of supreme skills, resulting in who I am today.”

”After mastering it, I vowed to repay her kindness and wished to follow her as her guard.”

”But Aunt Jiang declined and only told me a story about Su Beiheng, instructing me to be like Su Beiheng and also to take care of those orphaned children; that would satisfy her.”

All this left Sikong Jing in a reflective gaze, thinking of Grandpa Su’s story.

”To this day, I don’t know who Aunt Jiang is; I only know she is a great philanthropist.”

”I also don’t know who Su Beiheng is; I just know he is my great hero, guiding my path forward.”

At this, Yang Yi gently turned his face away...

He actually knew who Su Beiheng was, but couldn’t reveal it to avoid causing trouble for Aunt Jiang, even though Sikong Jing was already someone he could trust a hundred percent. But Aunt Jiang was the warmth in Yang Yi’s heart.
