Chapter 328: Papa Jiang: My Legendary Daughter-in-Law

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After creating the training grounds, Gu Xiqiao stayed behind to see things go down.

After about two days, there were already a few teams that managed to get to the intermediate area of the mountain range.

The beasts near the foot of the mountain were all brought down by Gu Xiqiao, while some others were handpicked and left in the area between the top and the foot of the mountain, with all sorts of abilities and different strengths and weaknesses.

The beasts at the foot of the mountain could be killed without a second thought, but the ones in the intermediate area were there mainly for training purposes, so they could only be beaten up but not killed!

In the words of a certain Gu: Reduce, reuse, recycle!

And so, the Mountain Range of Death that was constantly enveloped with silence and the aura of death was now completely converted into a playground for the youngsters!

Recorded below are the bemoaned wails of the beasts:

[F*ck, it’s those psychos again! Run!]

[Why would you bully us like this instead of just killing us like a real man?!]

[Wasn’t the one that beat you up yesterday a female?]

[Why are there new ones up here?! Run, run as fast as you can!]

[I hope they become stronger so they can go bully the ones at the top of the mountain, hmph!]

[I’m already starting to question life itself T_T]

This lament quickly gained the recognition of the other beasts on the mountain—Weren’t they supposed to be the predators? How were all these weak humans so violent?!

***

Someone uploaded the video of the beasts beating a hasty retreat onto the forums while the elders sat at the foot of the mountains and drank cups of liquor expressionlessly. “These beasts really are questioning life itself, huh…”

Upon mentioning this, all of the elders remembered that Gu Xiqiao said something along those lines a few days ago.

The elders didn’t think much about it, while the great elder predicted, “Judging by how terrifying those Peacekeepers are, I think those youngsters would be able to hold their own eventually against those beasts…”

And so, they lay witness to what happened in the next few days—

On the first day, some of the teams were beaten up quite badly by the beasts, and the elders were quite worried that these flowers raised up in greenhouses wouldn’t be able to adapt, but it turned out to be exactly the opposite of what they expected!

The second day, these teams could hold their own against the beasts, on the third day they could beat those beasts up, and on the fourth day, they already started their march to the intermediate level!

And so, Gu Xiqiao’s promise to beat up all the beasts in the Mountain Range of Death was realized so easily.

The great elder looked around at everyone before taking out his trusty Buddhist scroll with a calm and collected demeanor, glad that he had the foresight to start practicing how to calm himself down beforehand.

“That one.” The second elder suddenly spoke as he looked at someone near the foot of the mountain. “His blows are quite explosive.”

Another elder looked in that direction and saw the young man that was brutally attacking a beast, and asked, “He’s the one that Miss Gu brought back from Mingzhou, isn’t he?”

If it were in the past, they would have been shocked upon seeing a regular person turn into a master overnight, but now they were so used to it that they were numb.

Needless to say, Gu Xiqiao had already completely twisted their views on the world, and they wouldn’t be even the slightest bit surprised if the young lady fought against the heavens someday!

“Wei Chenyan is from Mingzhou’s Wei family, and he has enough latent talent to stand at the top of the younger generation, even in the ancient martial arts world.” The great elder had already collected information on the young man beforehand. “I got curious about him when Miss Gu brought him here, so I checked. As expected, he’s improving by leaps and bounds!”

If someone became stronger in such a short time in the past, it would definitely cause quite a commotion in the entire ancient martial arts world, but now that Gu Xiqiao emerged, every other genius of her generation was considered mediocre!

Yi Tong patrolled the area together with his team, and they couldn’t help but shudder a little when he saw the beasts being beaten up without even fighting back.

Upon seeing this, they all thought back to how Gu Xiqiao struck down her enemies with a single bolt of lightning, and it was almost expected of these people that were trained by Gu Xiqiao to be as brutal as she was!

Meanwhile, on a road in the ancient martial arts world.

Jiang Han was dealing with some loose ends in the family before he prepared to go home for dinner.

“Uncle Jiang!” Someone called him, and upon turning around he saw a young child that was blushing brightly.

Ah, but the kid wasn’t blushing because of him, of course.

After a short pause, the kid looked up at him with puppy dog eyes before holding a pink box in his direction bashfully. “C-Can you help give this to Big Sister Gu for me?”

Jiang Han: “…Alright.”

“Thank you, Uncle Jiang!” The child smiled brightly before skipping away happily.

Jiang Han looked at the pink box, not quite sure what to think about his sudden popularity. In the past, he had been feared by adults and children alike because of his aloof and honestly scary demeanor, but now he became popular all of a sudden because of his future daughter-in-law.

Yes, popular!

The most popular in the ancient martial arts world was Gu Xiqiao, the second was the Peace Manor, and the third was the Jiang family!

In hindsight, it was all because of Gu Xiqiao.

Jiang Shuxuan was revered in the past, sure, but his popularity couldn’t hold a handle to Gu Xiqiao’s!

If Jiang Han had a say in it, it was definitely because this future daughter-in-law of his was better looking than his son!

Who would like that block of ice?

Not only was Gu Xiqiao pretty, she was strong and had a good personality too, and it was no wonder why people liked her.

And so Jiang Han returned to the Jiang family with the gift in hand, and when he got home it was right at dinner time.

It was such a common occurrence by now that he was already used to having to be the middle man for Gu Xiqiao’s many admirers.

He was at the dinner table when his phone vibrated, and upon picking it out of his pocket the first thing he saw was a message from his old friend: [OMG your future daughter-in-law is so freaking cool!]

With an expressionless face, he replied: [You’re old and gray and a man at that, don’t message me like you’re a teenage girl please?]

He was about to switch off his phone when his Weibo notification rang again.

Tang Yanling: [Video]

Tang Yanling: I edited all the videos of my daughter into one video!

Shu Chen: I can finally save it without any hassle, thirty-two likes for you!

Shu Chen: xoxo

Jiang Han looked up at his own wife that was sitting on the other side of the dining table.

Shu Chen valued manners over all else, and even she was typing away on her phone at the dinner table?!

If such a scene happened in the past, Jiang Han would be the first to be in disbelief because of it, but then he looked down at his phone again, then up at Gu Xiqiao.

He had heard from Shu Chen how wonderful Gu Xiqiao was, but he thought that it was an exaggeration, natural given how much she liked the girl, so he didn’t pay much mind to it until he saw what Gu Xiqiao did at the Mountain Range of Death a few days earlier.

It was only then that he knew that Shu Chen had already held back on her compliments!

It was true that no amount of description could amount to seeing it with his own two eyes, and boy was he shocked beyond belief!

This young lady sitting across him was revered by everyone in the ancient martial arts world, young and old!

Jiang Han could confirm that she was the first in the entire history of the ancient martial arts world to not only be so strong, but to set off such a chain reaction too. Now, everyone in the ancient martial arts world was proactive and hot-blooded in training, and it could be said that she was the idol of the entire young generation!

He had never seen such a lively ancient martial arts world in his years of life.

He had thought that he wouldn’t be so easily shaken after staying in Delxun Forest for three years, but Gu Xiqiao managed to do it!

Even when he was walking on the streets, he felt quite proud upon hearing the chitter-chatter of people over Gu Xiqiao.

That was his future daughter-in-law they were talking about~

Shu Chen put down her phone and looked up at Jiang Han, chuckling inwardly. Serves him right for not believing her when she told him about their future daughter-in-law!

Gu Xiqiao was born to smack peoples’ faces and refresh their world view!

After finishing dinner, Jiang Shuxuan and Gu Xiqiao went upstairs, the former to deal with his daily duties and the latter to start writing up her future plans for the ancient martial arts world.

In the past few days, Shu Chen had paused on playing games with Gu Xiqiao and was instead immersed in developing new medicinal soups in the kitchen to make ones that were healthy and delicious!

After sending up the bowls of soup, Shu Chen came downstairs to Jiang Han that was staring at his phone.

Upon seeing his wife, the man put down his phone and took the remote control to switch on the television.

“Alright, don’t act like a kid caught stealing cookies.” Shu Chen rolled her eyes. “It’s fine, I won’t make fun of you for watching Qiao Qiao’s videos!”

Jiang Han: “…”

“In fact, let me recommend one- no, three movies for you!” Shu Chen smiled. “First of all is the movie called Divergent Paths, I’m pretty sure it’s still in theaters!”

“I don’t watch movies.” Jiang Han replied.

“Hey, our daughter-in-law featured in it! Are you sure you don’t want to watch it?” Shu Chen asked.

Jiang Han raised his eyebrows in surprise. “She acts?”

“She does much more than acting!” Shu Chen boasted. “It’s too early for you to be surprised, wait till you see what else she can do!”

Jiang Han was equal parts surprised and curious upon seeing Shu Chen like this, because it was extremely rare to see such a side to her. In the past, Shu Chen was stern and poised, and even though the entire martial arts world thought that Jiang Shuxuan had taken after him, she was the one that he had taken after!

It was as if this time around, his entire home was filled with more warmth than ever before, and even the butlers and guards had kind smiles on their faces.

Such a change was because of Gu Xiqiao, and Jiang Han couldn’t thank her enough.

***

Meanwhile, upstairs.

Gu Xiqiao was typing on her laptop in the study.

Jiang Shuxuan’s phone rang all of a sudden, and the person on the other end spoke for more than a minute before Jiang Shuxuan replied, “Alright.”

“The great elder wants me to attend a meeting.” Jiang Shuxuan said as he looked over at Gu Xiqiao.

Gu Xiqiao replied, “You know about the ancient martial arts world better than anyone, so be a good boy and go by yourself, hm?”

If she were honest, the reason why she didn’t want to go was that the elders were too earnest and fervent with her.

Jiang Shuxuan didn’t move a single muscle, only fixing her with a stare, his gaze clouding and misting up a little as his eyelashes fluttered slightly, his lips pursed together as if he had been served the greatest injustice in the world.

Gu Xiqiao: “… Fine, let’s go.”

Did he take lessons from Haha?!

The two of them went downstairs, and Gu Xiqiao had intended to inform Shu Chen but they noticed that both she and Jiang Han weren’t at home. Where could the two of them go at such a late hour?

Upon hearing Gu Xiqiao’s question, the butler replied, “Miss, Madam and Sir have gone out to watch a movie.”

Watching a movie at such a late hour?!

***

On the way to the theaters.

“You said that I was surprised too early?” Jiang Han suddenly remembered what Shu Chen had said earlier.

Shu Chen smiled. “You haven’t investigated her, have you?”

Jiang Han nodded. To him, why would he need to do a background check on his future daughter-in-law? All he needed to know was that both his wife and his son liked her!

“Get our butler to give you some documents and you’ll understand.” Shu Chen smiled mysteriously.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Han was more curious than ever. How could this future daughter-in-law of his surprise him even further?
