Chapter 1838 Taking the Child Home

"Mayor Song, please let the people disperse. I really need to go back."

After Shangguan Shuyun finally figured things out during his few days in China, he decided to return to his clan immediately.

So what if I was caught by Dongfang Yu, so what if I was ridiculed by the world, as long as I could be with my Master, it didn't matter.

Upon learning that she was leaving, Mayor Song once again personally saw her off, and the people once again gathered around her, constantly trying to persuade her to stay.

Although Shangguan Shuyun liked this place very much and was reluctant to leave the warm-hearted people here, she was already eager to return home.

"Well, after sending you a thousand miles away, we must say goodbye. Take care, Miss Shangguan. You can come to Jiangling, China anytime you are free. We, the people of the whole country, welcome you."

Shangguan Shuyun smiled and nodded: "I will, I like China too."

After she finished speaking, she was about to go back when a man in green squeezed through the crowd behind her and ran over. He actually shouted directly at Shangguan Shuyun, "You can't leave!"

Shangguan Shuyun was puzzled. Mayor Song frowned and asked him, "Who are you?"

The man in green first gave Shangguan Shuyun a flattering smile, then changed his attitude and said arrogantly to Mayor Song: "I was sent by the neighboring Shashi City. Our mayor said that a grand welcome program has been arranged for the arrival of Senior Shangguan. If she leaves, all our arrangements will be ruined."

Mayor Song patiently advised, "Ms. Shangguan is our distinguished guest. We understand that you have arranged a welcoming ceremony, but Miss Shangguan is free to move around. She wants to leave now. How can we force her to stay? Go back and tell your mayor that he appreciates her kindness."

Instead of leaving, the man in green started to mock Mayor Song.

"Mayor Song, this is not very kind. Jiangling City has kept Senior Shangguan for so long and attracted so much traffic. We in Sha City just want to take advantage of him, but you won't let us? This is too overbearing."

Mayor Song was speechless and could only hold back his emotions and explain that the other party was staying in Jiangling voluntarily. However, the man in green would not listen at all. He walked past him and came to Shangguan Shuyun, nodding and bowing, full of flattery.

Although Shangguan Shuyun couldn't stand his two-faced face, because this was China and this man was also her master's fellow countryman, she did not lose her temper, but showed a somewhat embarrassed look.

"Where is your Shashi?"

"It's not far away. With Senior Shangguan's cultivation level, it only takes half an incense stick of time to fly there."

"That's not far."

After hearing this, Shangguan Shuyun thought it would be okay to go. After all, the other party meant well and it would be difficult for him to refuse.

Just as she was about to agree, Mayor Song interrupted and asked, "What activities have you arranged in Shashi?"

The green-clothed man said without further ado, "First, there will be a few welcome parties at the commercial streets, then we will visit the newly built central building in Shashi, and then we will take Senior Shangguan to participate in several ribbon-cutting ceremonies for recruiting immortal cultivators. After that, we will arrange for Senior Shangguan to appear on TV. That is Orange TV, the most popular TV station in the country. We will arrange a farewell ceremony in the program, and people all over the country will see it."

After listening to the description of the man in green, Shangguan Shuyun and Mayor Song frowned at the same time.

The man in green then added fuel to the fire, using the fact that all the people in Shashi were looking forward to it as a weakness, making it difficult for Shangguan Shuyun to refuse.

At this moment, a voice came from above everyone's heads.

"Disciple, have you had enough fun?"

Everyone looked up at the same time, and saw a man who was otherworldly and looked like a banished immortal standing in the air. The invisible aura he exuded was intimidating and frightening.

Shangguan Shuyun recognized the person at the first moment, and his originally frowned brows instantly relaxed, and he was extremely happy.

"Master!"

The word "Master" gave everyone, including Mayor Song, a startle.

Holy shit! This is... Lin Jichen???

Lin Jichen used to be just a mortal. He rarely showed up in Jiangling City, and many people only heard of his name.

Even though you can see Lin Jichen on the Internet, the photos he takes are totally different from the real person.

The real Lin Jichen not only possesses the strength to the peak of enlightenment, but also has the temperament of a sect leader. This kind of condescending temperament of a superior that is unmatched in everyone makes people not even have the courage to look directly at him.

In a trance, Lin Ji Chen had slowly landed and stopped in front of Shangguan Shuyun.

"Master! Why are you here?"

Shangguan Shuyun was still immersed in extreme joy.

Lin Jichen gave her a doting look and said, "My apprentice has run away from home. How can I, as a master, not come out to look for him? I am here to take the child home."

"Ah? But how did you know I was here?"

"Stupid, this is my hometown. Someone informed me on the first day you arrived." Lin Ji Chen replied.

Shangguan Shuyun lowered his head in embarrassment and admitted his mistake to Lin Jichen: "Master, I know I was wrong."

"Okay, it's not a big deal. Go back. You should be crazy enough. Go back and practice."

"Uh-huh!"

Shangguan Shuyun nodded repeatedly, walked to stand behind Lin Jichen, with a look of satisfaction and happiness on his face.

Lin Jichen looked at Mayor Song again and said with a smile: "Uncle Song, long time no see, are you okay?"

Mayor Song was surprised and delighted, and quickly waved his hands and said, "Master Lin, please don't call me that. I can't bear it."

Lin Jichen said, "It's nothing. When I was in Jiangling before, thanks to Uncle Song's repeated care, although my status has changed, I am still a Jiangling citizen. This will not change. There is no need for us to be so polite. Just call me Xiao Lin as before."

Mayor Song suddenly had the urge to show off to the whole world. See? The head of Tianyan Sword Sect calls me uncle! Who else can be treated like this?

"No, no, you are now the head of the Sword Sect, the leader of the most powerful sect in the world. It is inappropriate to address you like this."

Mayor Song still insisted and skipped the topic at the right time.

"Master Lin, you finally came home, why don't you stay in Jiangling for a few more days?"

Faced with the request to stay, Lin Jichen shook his head: "Forget it this time, there are more important things that I need to deal with. Next time, I will come back and have a drink with Uncle Song."

Mayor Song did not try to stop him and immediately said with a smile, "Okay, I have two bottles of good wine waiting for you to come back next time. No one else can drink it."

The two of them laughed, said hello, and Lin Ji Chen prepared to leave.

However, the man in green appeared again and blocked Lin Ji Chen's way.

"Master Lin, I'm the secretary of the mayor of Shashi. We have arranged many activities. As a Chinese, you can't let down the people of Shashi and the mayor. How about you and your apprentice go to Shashi for three days? We are all Chinese, you won't refuse this little favor, right?"

The man in green was full of confidence. He felt that Lin Ji Chen would not be able to refuse him in front of so many people and in his hometown.
