Dubhe remained seated in the stool, his eyes lowered and silent, with a stony, twisted look on his face.

He didn’t expect Jiang Shuxuan to do this.

He thought back to the words that the other had said previously, and he really wasn’t going to let him go!

As expected of Jiang Shuxuan, he really was a member of the Jiang family.

Dubhe pressed his temples, it didn’t matter to him that Gu Xiqiao participated in the ranking tournaments, it was just that he didn’t want things to deteriorate further than this. He was completely sidelined by Jiang Shuxuan’s stubbornness.

He felt as though he was the most failed Dubhe in history.

“Master Dubhe, we’ll be… leaving first.” The Murong family’s elder looked at Dubhe, bowing to him. The heat radiating from the other made him fearful of getting closer, and it also made it all clearer how terrifying Dubhe’s powers were.

“Hm,” Dubhe responded. There was a distortion in the air, and his entire person disappeared.

Only the elders from the Murong family were left in the room, and they couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief as they wiped the cold sweat on their brows. There was still some lingering fear in their hearts, Jiang Shuxuan had not liked managing the ancient martial arts world a few years back. He only took on small tasks and everyone slowly got used to it, and grew complacent. They had completely forgotten Jiang Shuxuan’s nature!

Wasn’t the Jiang family known for being extremely protective of their own? It was nuts for them to even entertain the thought of asking Gu Xiqiao to back out from entering the ranking tournaments.

The remaining elders glanced at each other with understanding on their faces, and then quietly left the room.

Dubhe had not gone far, and he reappeared on the roof of the Elders Association. He sat on the tiles. The jade flute in his hands as his gaze was in the direction of the Jiang family house with a dark look in his eyes.

Suddenly, a wave of energy fluctuated in the air, and Dubhe stood up in surprise. His eyes widened, and he muttered, “Master… But how can that be?”

He wanted to find the source of the energy, but before he could move, it had disappeared in a flash.

When Jiang Shuxuan returned home, he saw Yi Bing bringing Jiji and Xixi in.

When he saw Jiji, he was about to ignore it, but then he recalled Gu Xiqiao’s words, and he halted in his steps, lowering his head to look at the robot. “Jiji, go on up and see her. She’s been missing you.”

Jiang Shuxuan’s voice was not warm nor gentle, but it definitely wasn’t cold either. Compared to the cold attitude that he usually had when he dealt with them, it was simply as warm as the spring air.

Jiji had gotten used to being ignored and kicked around by Jiang Shuxuan, and this was the first time it had felt such a loving Master Jiang. Jiji was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, “Master Jiang, you… are you okay?”

Jiang Shuxuan: “…” He spared another glance at Jiji, then turned around and walked away.

Jiji had reacted quickly, as though lightning had struck it!

Xixi looked at it with sympathy in its beady eyes. “How can you be such a fool at such a young age.”

“If I could have a do over,” Jiji said, looking at Xixi. “I would definitely say… baby, don’t you love me anymore?”
