Chapter 72 The Mu Family, Mu Qinghan
Chapter 72 The Mu Family, Mu Qinghan
At Jiang Han's house, Jiang Kun sat quietly drinking tea in the living room. He had been exhausted from clearing out the demons in Bo City. After learning about Jiang Kun's strength, Zheng Chengfeng, the president of the Magic Association, invited him to serve as the honorary president. This would provide more protection for the many high-level mages in Bo City, and Jiang Kun could not refuse, so he agreed.
Creak! The door opened and Jiang Han swaggered in, then paused slightly when he saw Jiang Kun drinking tea in the living room.
What's going on? Hasn't the old man been overseeing the post-disaster reconstruction of Bo City at the Magic Association these past few days? How come he has time to drink tea at home? Is he waiting for me? But I don't think I've done anything out of line these past few days.
Just as Jiang Han was trying to recall what he had done wrong to upset Jiang Kun, Jiang Kun spoke up, saying, "You seem to be taking the magic college entrance exam soon, right? Have you decided which university you're planning to go to?"
"Shanghai, I remember the Pearl Magic Academy has a sacred training ground like the Three-Step Tower. It might be able to significantly improve my strength," Jiang Han replied casually.
"Hmm, going to Pearl Magic Academy is also a good option." Jiang Kun nodded slightly.
He came back today to ask Jiang Han which magic academy he planned to apply to. If it was an academy in the capital, he definitely wouldn't agree, because the Mu family's roots were in the capital.
If the old guys in the Mu family knew Jiang Han's true identity, they definitely wouldn't let him live. After all, those old guys had tried every means to stop him from having a relationship with Jiang Han's mother. If they knew they had a son still alive, how could they let Jiang Han continue to live?
Jiang Kun looked into Jiang Han's eyes, which resembled his wife's, took a deep breath, and said, "Aren't you very curious about who your mother is? I'll tell you about your mother today."
Upon hearing Jiang Kun's words, Jiang Han was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected his father to tell him about his mother. He had been raised by his father since birth and had never heard a word about his mother.
Jiang Han had asked Jiang Kun about his mother before, but Jiang Kun had always brushed him off with various excuses.
He never expected that Jiang Kun would tell him about his mother's situation today.
"Dad, you're not kidding me, are you really going to tell me about Mom?"
In his previous life, Jiang Han was an orphan abandoned in an orphanage. He never knew who his parents were. All he had to do every day was keep himself from starving. His only pleasure was reading novels in his spare time. This led to him being sent away by a divine lightning bolt because of his loose tongue.
After coming into this world, he was raised by Jiang Kun and felt the heavy fatherly love from Jiang Kun. Although he always wanted to put on a show of "filial piety and loving father", it was just a thought in his heart and he had no intention of putting it into action. He still respected and loved his old man from the bottom of his heart.
Jiang Han had thought about and asked about his mother, whom he had never met, but Jiang Kun had never mentioned her.
"What do you think?" Jiang Kun glanced at him, which startled Jiang Han into quickly shutting his mouth. Jiang Kun was still a little afraid of Jiang Han's "benevolent father" style of education. If it weren't for Jiang Kun's "benevolent father" education, he wouldn't have been thinking about staging a "filial piety" drama in his mind.
"Um, Dad, you tell me, I'll definitely listen carefully," Jiang Han said with a big smile.
Jiang Kun sighed and said, "Sigh, I know I owe you a lot over the years. Maybe I was too harsh sometimes, but who told you to be so useless? If you had studied magic properly, I wouldn't have been so violent towards you."
"Your mother is the eldest daughter of the Mu family, named Mu Qinghan. She is a beautiful and gentle woman."
The eldest daughter of the Mu family, Mu Qinghan, was originally scolding him for not studying hard, but suddenly she jumped to his mother's side. But could this eldest daughter of the Mu family be that Mu family?!
After all, the eldest daughter of Bo City is Mu Ningxue, and he has never heard of anyone named Mu Qinghan in the Mu family of Bo City.
If the Mu family in Bocheng doesn't exist, then it must be the Mu clan!
"Oh, no need to flatter my mom so much. After all, she must be incredibly beautiful to have given birth to such a handsome son like me. The fact that you managed to win her over shows you're quite capable," Jiang Han said without any hesitation.
Jiang Kun was so angry at Jiang Han's words that his veins bulged and he almost couldn't help but hit him. "You brat, if you talk nonsense again, I'll beat you up."
"Your mother and I both studied at the Imperial Academy. We met during an off-campus mission. She was the eldest daughter of the Mu family, with exceptional talent and the support of her family, while I was just an abandoned child of my family, with no help and had to rely on myself to obtain cultivation resources. We two people who would never have crossed paths at all, met by sheer coincidence." Perhaps thinking of what had happened back then, Jiang Kun's voice softened considerably.
"Looking back now, our meeting seems like a dream, so unreal. As I spent more and more time with your mother, we gradually developed feelings for each other. After we graduated from the university in the capital, your mother and I got together."
"But do you know? My relationship with your mother is not allowed. After all, I am just an outcast of the family and have no right to marry your mother. Because of this, the Mu family tried every means to obstruct us after they found out about it, and tried to break us up."
"In order to get rid of the Mu family's obstruction, your mother and I secretly came to Bocheng. The Mu family really did not expect that we would secretly come to a small city like Bocheng."
"Oh, so you eloped with my mom. No wonder my mom..." Jiang Han was silenced by Jiang Kun's piercing gaze before he could finish his sentence.
Jiang Kun felt an urge to slap Jiang Han to death. He took a deep breath and continued, "Your mother and I did live peacefully in Bo City for a long time, but for some reason, a few months after you were born, our whereabouts were discovered by the Mu family. In order to bring your mother back, the Mu family sent two super-level mages, five high-level mages, and more than twenty mid-level mages to hunt us down."
"You should know that at that time, Bo City only had one high-level mage, Zheng Chengfeng, the president of the Magic Association, while Zhan Kong came later."
"The team that the Mu family sent to hunt down your mother could have wiped out the entire Bo City. At that time, I had just broken through to the high-level mage level. Although your mother was a high-level level three mage, she had only given birth to you a few months ago and her energy had not fully recovered. I admit that my talent is not as good as your mother's, but I am still willing to fight for you." As Jiang Kun spoke, a strong fighting spirit flashed in his eyes.
"But I still lost in the end, and I lost badly. If it weren't for your mother pleading for me, I might have died long ago." Jiang Kun said with a self-deprecating laugh.
Back then, he was young and arrogant, thinking he had some talent and the unique spiritual seed of lightning and fire. After defeating two high-level mages, he wondered if he could take care of one of the super-level mages, so that he and Mu Qinghan would have a better chance of escaping. After all, a super-level mage is a super-level mage, and he was quickly beaten to a pulp.
If Mu Qinghan hadn't agreed to join the Mu Clan, Jiang Kun might have been killed by that super-level mage long ago.
Jiang Kun didn't tell Jiang Han about this. After all, he was Jiang Han's father, and he couldn't go into details about something so embarrassing. He wanted to omit it as much as possible, since he cared about his reputation.
When Jiang Han heard that two super-level mages, five high-level mages, and more than twenty mid-level mages were chasing his mother, he was furious, but he could also imagine the helplessness his mother had felt when she was forced to leave.
