Peter Pan finally understood what Jiang Ning was trying to do. Jiang Ning wasn't just accompanying his child idly all day, but actually making arrangements on the sly.
Donghai started getting busy.
A lot of people had entered Donghai recently, and Peter Pan knew that these were people whom Jiang Ning had called upon.
These people weren't formidable high level martial artists, but the things they brought along with them were a bigger threat to human life than any martial artist.
"Military exercise!”
Donghai was actually going to start a military exercise within the city. All sorts of weapons and soldiers had entered the city.
Jiang Ning had made use of the connections he had from the past. This was the authority he wielded as the God of War of the East!
With just one command, everyone would reach Donghai in the shortest time possible.
Even though it was supposedly just an exercise, Peter Pan knew that Jiang Ning was doing this to protect the Lin family. This move was something that nobody in the world, not even the most powerful monster, would dare to be careless about.
Mr Lang had experienced for himself how frightening modern technology could be and nearly lost his life as a result. The weaponry that was coming in now was even more terrifying than what the wolves had prepared the last time.
"Jiang Ning doesn't fully trust me after all.”
Peter Pan snorted.
Jiang Ning only trusted himself. He would never leave the lives of his family members in someone else's hands.
Peter Pan didn't get angry. That was the right thing to do.
He turned and was about to walk out of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy when a voice rang out behind him.
"Is there really meaning to living forever?"
It was Chen Huangtang.
He had recovered from his injuries and had been staying within the academy as he pondered on some questions.
He knew that the Longevity Pond existed, and he knew that Mr Lang was looking for it so that the person he loved could come back to life. But was that possible?
There was someone he loved too, and he wished she could come back to life too.
Peter Pan glanced at him and said calmly, "It's normal for the living to remember and miss the dead, but there are many things that we are unable to change. Even if that person we love comes back to life, things have already changed. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Chen Huangtang didn't say anything.
"Keep your eyes in front. Humans need something they can look forward to. If that anticipation changes, then it will also lose its meaning, and you'd have to look for it all over again."
