Celestial 'War God' Return-Chapter 317: Talk To Zhang Xingcai

"Mother, what—"

Zhang Xingcai waved her hand and asked back, "What have you done with him?"

"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Sun Xiang was puzzled.

Zhang Xingcai narrowed her eyes. "Have you done anything intimate with him? I’m sure you two have done something like that, right? You’ve been together for a whole month, and he’s a playboy with many women by his side."

"Mother, do you really think I’m a shameless woman with no self-respect?" Sun Xiang’er asked with a sad expression in response to her mother’s question. "He does have several wives, but you don’t know him, and you think negatively of him simply because of your differences in principles. He has kissed me many times, but we have never done anything like that."

"Is that true? Have you two really never done anything intimate before?"

Sun Xiang felt even more sad because her mother didn’t believe her. "Mother, did you ever believe me? I told you the truth, but you keep thinking that I did that kind of thing with him."

"Xiang’er, I—"

"I don’t want to hear anything from you." Sun Xiang shook her head vigorously. "You gave birth to me and raised me, but you never understood my feelings, and you always imposed your life choices on me. I already said that I never did anything intimate with him, and we were fully focused on our training, but you were too selfish to believe me."

"Xiang’er." Sun Xiang hurriedly ran away from the place, which shocked Zhang Xingcai because she couldn’t stop her daughter. "How can she move that fast?"

"She’s been training hard, you know?" Zhang Xingcai frowned at Tang Xiao, who suddenly appeared in front of her. "You’re her mother, but you never try to understand your daughter’s feelings."

"Isn’t all this your fault?" Zhang Xingcai asked back in a harsh tone. "If you hadn’t forcibly kissed my daughter, she wouldn’t be like this now. My daughter never acted like that before she met you, and she always listened to me."

"I admitted I was wrong to forcefully kiss Xiang’er, but do you really think Xiang’er always listens to you? Why does she prefer to stay in the outside world rather than in this clan?" Zhang Xingcai started to get angry. "I know she doesn’t like the life of a cultivator, but you and the people of this clan are her mother and family. If you truly understood her feelings, I’m sure she wouldn’t choose to live far away from you. Unfortunately, you were too selfish to understand her feelings, so she decided to live apart from you for her own peace."

"You—"

"Listen to me first, Aunt Xingcai." Tang Xiao interrupted her directly. "My mother died when I was five years old, but I still remember how she treated me and my big sister in the past. Compared to you, she cared about us and understood our feelings, and she never forced us to be like her or my father; instead, she gave us the freedom to choose our future."

"Humph!" Zhang Xingcai shouted at him. "If your mother was like that, she wouldn’t have prohibited Uncle Huang and Tantai Lingyan from teaching the two of you to cultivate, and the two of you would never have experienced such an incident."

"You’re not wrong about that, but you forgot that my late mother was an ordinary human, and she didn’t know anything about cultivators before marrying my late father. She had heard everything about the world of cultivation from my late father, and she didn’t want us to live in such a harsh and cruel world. She wanted us to live peacefully as ordinary humans, so she begged my grandfather and Aunt Yuan not to teach us to cultivate. Regarding what happened to Yin’er and me in the past, we never blamed her for her decisions. Even though we had some bad experiences, we managed to get back up, and we have taken revenge on almost all of them." Since Zhang Xingcai was silent, Tang Xiao immediately continued. "I understand and respect your decision to be loyal to your late husband, but Xiang’er is not you, and she will never be like you. Even if she is willing to follow your wishes, she will always be unhappy and frustrated with herself, and you might lose her forever one day."

Zhang Xingcai looked at Tang Xiao silently as she thought about his words just now, but she remained firm in her stance, and she still refused to accept Sun Xiang having a relationship with him.

Tang Xiao himself was in no rush to take his relationship with Sun Xiang to the next stage, so he decided to let Zhang Xingcai think about his words first. "By the way, I was planning to bring all the members of the Sun and Zhang Clans to the Canglan Realm, but Grandpa Sun said that he won’t leave without you, and he asked me to persuade you first. I understand that you dislike me because of my polygamous relationship, but this is a good opportunity for everyone, so I hope you won’t be selfish and will be willing to go to that realm."

After saying that, Tang Xiao immediately left Zhang Xingcai and went to the Tang Clan, as Tang Huang asked him to go there so their clan members could get to know him.

"Does he really want to take us to that realm?" Zhang Xingcai ran out of her room to meet Sun Qian.

"Father!" Sun Qian turned to Zhang Xingcai. "Does he really want to take us to that realm?"

Sun Qian nodded at her. "He does want to take everyone from our two clans to that realm, but I know your dislike for him, so I asked him to speak to you first. If you don’t want to go there, we’ll stay in this city, so the decision depends on your answer."

"Aunt Xingcai, I know you don’t like him, but I hope you won’t be selfish for the sake of many people." Zhang Xingcai looked at Sun Yue. "Going to that realm is our best chance to become stronger, and this opportunity will not come twice. Therefore, I hope you are willing to go there, regardless of your dislike for him."

Zhang Xingcai looked at Sun Wei, Sun Yang, and Fang Xiaoru, who looked excited to go to the Canglan Realm with Tang Xiao. She didn’t want to get too close to him or be indebted to him, but she didn’t want to disappoint too many people. "Okay, I agree to go to that realm, but when will we leave for that realm?"

"In a month."

"Eh? Are we really leaving in a month, Father?"

Sun Qian nodded at her. "That kid wants to become strong as quickly as possible, and he feels that he’ll be wasting too much time staying here, so he wants to leave for that realm in a month. A month is short, but I think it’s enough to settle all our affairs here. Since you’ve agreed to go there, I’ll ask the people of this clan to take care of everything from now on."

"What about my family, Father?"

"I’ve asked your parents to come here, and I’ll talk to them."

Zhang Xingcai nodded in understanding. "I’ll go see Xiang’er first, Father."

"Xingcai, leave Xiang’er alone for now." Zhang Xingcai was confused. "She’s angry and disappointed with you, so you should let her calm down first, and I’ll talk to her later."

"Yes, Father."

After Zhang Xingcai left, Sun Yang and Sun Yue also went to pack their things. Sun Qian instructed Sun Wei and Fang Xiaoru to take care of some matters, especially the shop and everything else they owned.

Sun Qian went to see Sun Xiang, who was daydreaming in her room. "Xiang’er."

"Hmm?" Sun Xiang turned to her grandfather. "What’s wrong, Grandpa?"

Sun Qian sat next to her and embraced her. "Do you like Xiao’er?"

"I—" Sun Xiang did not continue her words and nodded to him.

"I see." Sun Qian nodded slightly. "I have no problem if you like Xiao’er, but your relationship won’t be easy, and you both have to convince your mother to accept it."

"How should we convince her, Grandpa?" Sun Xiang hugged him. "She hates polygamous relationships, and she said she would never approve of our relationship. I’ve never done anything intimate with him, but she doesn’t believe me, and she thinks that we’ve done that kind of thing."

"Haha," Sun Qian laughed and rubbed her head. "Have you ever heard the saying, ’No matter how hard a stone is, it will shatter if it’s continuously exposed to water droplets’? Your mother is a conservative woman, and she was loyal to your late father. Although it won’t be easy, I’m sure you can change her mind someday."

"Do you think my mother will really change, Grandpa? Will she really be willing to accept our relationship?"

Sun Qian pushed her back and grabbed her shoulders. "Xiang’er, everyone can change; it’s just that we need the right method to change someone. As long as you don’t give up and keep trying, I’m sure your mother will change someday, and you will find your happiness at that time."

"Thank you, Grandpa."

Sun Qian gently pinched her nose. "You are my granddaughter, and I will do my best for your happiness, so you don’t need to thank me. By the way, your mother has already agreed to go to the Canglan Realm, and I’ve already ordered our people to start packing, so you can start packing your things too."

"Huh? Does my mother agree to go to that realm, Grandpa?"

"Yes."
