Chapter 77

**Bang!**

Just as Qian Wanguan finished speaking, Jiang Yi kicked him hard, sending him flying a full ten feet away. His face was filled with anger, and he coldly shouted, "Qian Wanguan, is it fun to play with me? You can't just call me 'Young Master' willy-nilly! Do you want me to be executed with my entire family?"

"Ouch..."

Qian Wanguan got up, rubbed his chest, and still didn't get angry. Instead, he looked at Jiang Yi with confusion. Seeing that Jiang Yi didn't seem to be faking, he asked, "Jiang Yi, didn't Jiang Yunhai tell you about your background? According to the information from our Qian family, you are definitely the son of the Western Border Prince, and the half-brother of Jiang Niliu!"

Jiang Yi's body trembled, but he still didn't believe it, and he sneered, "Proof? What makes you say I'm the son of the Western Border Prince? I could say you're my son!"

The chubby boy laughed helplessly and shook his head, "Jiang Yi, you must have guessed some of it, otherwise you wouldn't be so angry! Jiang Yunhai was once the head steward of the inner court of the prince's mansion. One time, he almost got killed for a mistake, but a woman living in the mansion spoke up for him, and he was spared. However, he was still beaten until he was crippled. This incident was well-known in the Western Border Prince's mansion, and many people knew about it. It was only natural for him to recognize this woman as his master."

"No one knows the background of this woman. She was brought into the mansion by Jiang BieLi and lived there for two years without any official title. After Jiang BieLi became the Western Border Prince, she suddenly left. After she left, Jiang Yunhai also claimed to be sick and returned to Tianyu City. According to the information from our spy in the Western Border Prince's mansion, she was already pregnant when she left. Jiang Yunhai stayed in the Jiang family for three years and then suddenly left, bringing back two infants— you and your maid! Since Jiang Yunhai recognizes you as the young master, your identity is clear enough..."

Jiang Yi listened to Qian Wanguan's words without saying a word, but his face was terrifyingly dark. His eyes flickered with light, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Qian Wanguan stood up, remained silent for a moment, and then sighed, "Speaking of that woman, she was quite extraordinary. No one knew her name or her family, only that her surname was Yi. She was not only beautiful like a celestial being but also incredibly powerful, even stronger than Jiang BieLi at first! Jiang BieLi is said to have loved this woman very much, but for some reason, he didn't marry her. Instead, he married a young lady from the Changsun family, and this woman mysteriously left the mansion..."

**Boom!**

Jiang Yi's head felt as if a thunderbolt had struck it. He closed his eyes, and his mind was filled with the words Jiang Yunhai had once said.

"Your mother is my master. Without her, I, Jiang Yunhai, would have died long ago and wouldn't have achieved what I have today. I swore to serve her for life!"

"As for your father, according to the lady, you... don't have a father!"

"The lady and that person are so powerful; how could the young master's talent be poor?"

"Your father is very powerful, but he abandoned the lady. If it weren't for him, the lady wouldn't have died. So... unless absolutely necessary, I don't want to find him, and I don't even want to see him. Otherwise, I might risk my life to assassinate him!"

Jiang Yunhai didn't reveal much, but every word he said matched the information Qian Wanguan provided.

The situation seemed very clear: Jiang BieLi met his mother, they fell in love, and returned to the mansion. In the mansion, his mother saved Jiang Yunhai's life, so he recognized her as his master. For some reason, Jiang BieLi didn't marry his mother, who left the mansion while pregnant, and died two years later after giving birth to him and Jiang Xiaonu. She entrusted them to Jiang Yunhai and sealed his dantian. Jiang Yunhai clearly didn't want Jiang Yi to know his background, hoping he would live a normal life in Tianyu City.

If the chubby boy wasn't lying and the Qian family's information was correct, then he was very likely the illegitimate son of the Western Border Prince, the so-called Young Master!

**Sigh!**

After deducing his background, Jiang Yi felt no joy, only anger. He had no sense of identity with this suddenly appearing father, just as his mother had said, he had no father! He never had one, and he never would...

His eyes suddenly turned red, and he glared at Qian Wanguan, saying fiercely, "Chubby boy, listen to me. I, Jiang Yi, am an orphan. I have no parents. If you dare to spread this, I will kill you even if it costs me my life!"

"Uh..."

Qian Wanguan was confused. He had people investigate Jiang Yi and quickly deduced his identity, so he arranged for them to share a room, hoping to build a good relationship. If Jiang Yi returned to the Jiang family and inherited the title of Western Border Prince, it would be a great benefit for him and the Qian family. But he didn't expect Jiang Yi to be so resistant to the Jiang family.

Seeing Jiang Yi's reaction, he didn't dare to push further and nodded, "Alright, I promise not to spread this. But your background is too obvious. Anyone who goes to Tianyu City can find out. To keep it a secret, you'd have to kill everyone in Tianyu City. If Jiang Qilin investigates your background and reports it to the Western Border Prince..."

"Hmm?"

Jiang Yi's brows furrowed, and he became anxious. Jiang Yunhai had worked in the mansion and publicly called Jiang Yi his young master. If someone knew the details, they could easily figure it out.

"Ah!"

Seeing Jiang Yi's reaction, Qian Wanguan's eyes shifted, and he earnestly advised, "Jiang Yi, the Western Border Prince is your biological father. You will eventually have to recognize each other! The Western Border Prince probably didn't know your mother was pregnant back then; otherwise, he would have come looking for you. If you become the young master, it will greatly benefit your future development, and anything you want to do will be easier..."

"Shut up!"

Jiang Yi's face suddenly turned fierce, and he turned to Qian Wanguan, shouting, "I'll tell you again, I have no father. Even if Jiang BieLi appears in front of me, I will cut him down! If you ever say such things again, I'll kill you!"

Jiang Yunhai had once said he could go and recognize his father, but they would never see each other again. To Jiang Yi, Jiang Yunhai was much more important than that so-called father. Moreover, his father had abandoned his mother, leading to her death, so he had no good feelings towards him, only deep-seated hatred!

"Mad..."

Qian Wanguan's chubby face trembled. Kill Jiang BieLi? Jiang Yi might be the only one with the courage to say that. He was one of the top-tier experts on the continent, the supreme expert of the Divine Martial Kingdom.

"Get out!"

Jiang Yi suddenly pointed to the door and shouted at Qian Wanguan. The chubby boy sniffed and walked out reluctantly. Jiang Yi fell onto the bed, closed his eyes in pain, and his mind was a mess. After a while, he sat up, rubbed his face, and forced himself to calm down and analyze the situation.

He quickly confirmed one thing: regardless of whether his father was Jiang BieLi, he would not recognize him. He had been an orphan for so long and was used to it. Next, he needed to find a way to meet Jiang Yunhai and get to the bottom of things, and then figure out how to hide his background.

His background must be kept secret. If it were exposed or known by someone with ill intentions, both he and Jiang Yunhai would be in great danger. After all, the Western Border Prince had another son named Jiang Niliu.

Would a prince who was certain to inherit the title of Western Border Prince, upon learning that he had an illegitimate half-brother, try to eliminate him to secure his inheritance?

The answer was definite!
