“I don’t agree!” Jing Li said loudly.

This woman is too malicious.

Clearly, she wants to destroy junior brother’s Buddha heart and hinder his great dao. As a senior brother, how can he stand by and watch?

But he heard junior brother’s voice from behind him saying, “If Miss Yu Chan doesn’t mind, it would be good to stay here for a while.”

“Junior brother!” Jing Li turned back, giving a hurt look.

How could he not understand his senior brother’s painstaking efforts?

Jiang Wang reached out and patted Jing Li’s shoulder. “Alright, little senior brother, leave this matter to me.”

His voice was gentle, but his attitude was very clear.

Lian Yu Chan was not like Bai Yu Xia, who was truly determined to abandon her country. She was also not like Lin Xian, who had no one to guide her. Taking her into the sect was not too appropriate, but leaving her as a witness was fine. Xiang Guo didn’t want to offend him, and he didn’t want to make enemies everywhere either.

Maintaining a tacit understanding with each other was very good.

Jing Li blinked his eyes and said somewhat aggrieved, “Alright then.”

“With Lord not abandoning me, Yu Chan can…” Lian Yu Chan originally wanted to say she could be a guard, but thinking that no one in this tavern seemed to need her guarding, she wanted to say she could help in the kitchen, but she truly didn’t have that skill. Finally, she said, “Serve dishes or something.”

Jiang Wang said warmly, “If that’s the work that makes you more comfortable, then there’s no problem.”

Before coming to Xing Yue Yuan, Lian Yu Chan’s mood was actually quite anxious.

She had witnessed the demeanor of Great Qi’s first heavenly pride once, and those glorious deeds were also heard until her ears were calloused, but she hadn’t truly interacted with this person. She didn’t know what it would feel like to get along with him, or whether he would be arrogant and domineering.

Her posture on this trip was very humble, and it was humble for her country.

Lian Yu Chan was originally pure and proud. She had lingered outside the building for a long time, and only for the stability of her country did she have to come. She didn’t know what she would face.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt relieved. This absolute heavenly pride, who stirred up world waves when he rose and caused clouds to move in the four directions when he was hidden, was not eight-faced and exquisite, nor was he good at dancing with long sleeves. His words and deeds were quite casual, but he had a kind of power that made people feel stable.

Mysteriously trustworthy.

“Then from now on, I’ll just follow the boss to work.” She smiled, blooming like a lotus flower, which dazed quite a few drinkers.

“As for wages, you can go back and discuss it with Manager Bai.” Jiang Wang smiled faintly and walked towards the backyard.

Bai Yu Jing was the big boss of the tavern, and he was going to handle that pitiful assassin.

And see which family’s assassin it was, whose professional level was this rough.

Jing Li followed closely behind his junior brother, and Lian Yu Chan also curiously followed behind.

Bai Yu Xia waved his hand, called a waiter to sit for him at the counter, and also leisurely got up and went towards the backyard.

In the backyard, the sound of chopping wood was constant.

The interval, volume, and tone of each sound were all completely the same.

People who understood the trade knew how rare this was, because there was no wood in the world that was exactly the same. This meant that for each of Lin Xian’s chops, he had to make just the right adjustment at the instant of contact with the wood to make everything so unified.

He was so focused, each chop like chopping a lifelong enemy.

In the midst of this nearly constant cracking sound, the mental pressure on the small assassin locked in the wood house was imaginable.

When the door of the wood house opened, the light from outside suddenly crashed into the inside, smashing onto his face. Han Shao, whose face was covered in crossed scars, suddenly closed his eyes tightly, then slowly opened them.

When death arrived, he always had to see his enemy and curse them with resentment once.

Then he just saw an abnormally young, gentle, clear, and handsome face.

Behind this person, there was a beauty with delicate features and a handsome man with skin as white as jade. But very obviously, everything was centered around this person.

This is Jiang Wang, right? He thought.

Then he heard this person ask, “Why did you come to assassinate me?”

Why?

Han Shao thought for a moment, suddenly became angry, and suddenly rushed forward: “You still dare to ask why!?”

But fundamentally… he couldn’t move!

Even the person in front of him hadn’t done anything.

It was just the man chopping wood in the yard who had cast a look.

Just one look made him unable to move!

Han Shao stiffened there.

Then Jiang Wang slowly squatted down, looking at him levelly. “Surely I shouldn’t ask why, should I?”

Han Shao gritted his teeth and said, “I am from Wu Xing Fu of Great Xia. My surname is Han and my name is Shao. Now you know, right?!”

Jiang Wang naturally knew.

It was now the three nine two two year of the Dao Calendar. Xia Country no longer existed in the world.

Qi conquered Xia, which was a war of territorial integration, seeking long-term peace. They didn’t offend the people in the slightest, nor did they use soldiers. All who surrendered were exempted from punishment, and those who stubbornly resisted were treated leniently.

But there was one route that was an exception, namely Tian An Ping’s division. He didn’t even care about the lives of the Qi army, how could he care about the lives of the Xia Country people? In the battle where Tian An Ping’s formation killed many different people, ninety thousand of the one hundred thousand Great Qi county soldiers died. The Qi people’s hatred, on whom would it be vented?

After the war, Wu Xing Fu was full of scars. It was the most thoroughly destroyed fu among the various fu of Xia Country. If Gui Yi City hadn’t been broken in time and the Xia Emperor surrendered quickly enough, Wu Xing Fu would have been even more tragic.

Although it wasn’t seen in the military reports, it was sealed in the former Xia territory.

But as Han Shao, a person from Wu Xing Fu, what exactly he had experienced could also be roughly imagined.

But the problem was… in the Qi-Xia war, Wu Xing Fu belonged to the northern line battlefield, while the former Wu An Hou galloped on the eastern line battlefield. These fundamentally didn’t connect!

Jiang Wang didn’t say that.

Qi had already extinguished Xia, and he acknowledged the reason that the people of the old country of Xia came to seek revenge.

He didn’t argue that the pain-stricken Xia people blamed him, the person whose military merits in the Qi-Xia war were second only to Cao Ji.

He only asked, “Then Han Shao, for whom did you come to seek revenge? For Xia Country, or for yourself?”

Han Shao gritted his teeth and said, “What if it’s for Xia Country? What if it’s for myself?”

Jiang Wang said flatly, “May I ask who can represent Xia Country today? The Xia Emperor, King Min, or you? Now the Xia Emperor is Earl An Le, and King Min is a senior minister of Qi. Where is your revenge for Xia Country?”

Han Shao was speechless for a moment.

When Earl An Le was the Xia Emperor, he was heartless enough to cause a disaster that covered the country. When Earl An Le was Earl An Le, he was happy and didn’t think of Xia. How could the Xia people miss Xia? Today, the southern border of Great Qi, not to mention the rise of peace and song and dance, can also be said to have clear governance. Su Guan, Ying Shi, Ming Peng, one civil and one military, governed southern Xia extremely well. The Xia people didn’t think of Xia.

Han Shao actually understood from the beginning that he was one of the very few among the very few. What he missed was not Xia Country, but his life that was destroyed along with Xia Country.

Jiang Wang asked again, “If you are seeking revenge for yourself, there are so many generals who conquered Xia. Why did you specifically find me?”

Han Shao said hatefully, “You are the most famous. Moreover, you are not in Qi Country, so I still have a chance to run if I kill you.”

Bai Yu Xia couldn’t help but laugh, “Still quite reasonable.”

“I really don’t know whether to say you’re stupid or smart.” Jiang Wang shook his head. “If I say you’re stupid, you came to assassinate me. If I say you’re smart, you came to assassinate me.”

Han Shao said angrily, “If you want to kill, then kill. Don’t say some things I don’t understand!”

Jiang Wang smiled, extended an index finger, and gently drew.

Han Shao’s blood flow immediately stagnated, his breathing stopped, and his consciousness sank!

In the terrifying abyss of infinite falling, he was sad, painful, and regretful, but all of it dissipated. Just like this, just like this, he died, like an ant—

He suddenly opened his eyes, took a big breath, and then discovered that he was still alive!

The ropes on his body were also cut open, and the restraint added to his body by that chopping man’s look had also dissipated.

He saw Jiang Wang flick his head and say very casually, “Go.”

Han Shao was stunned, at a loss.

“Each person has their share on the battlefield, no need to talk about how sincere we are. Once I take off my armor, I only seek comfort in everything, and I’m too lazy to dwell on old grudges. Today, I just happen to be in a good mood, so I’ll let you go.” Jiang Wang got up directly. “You’ve already died once. Cherish your new life. I’m not a merciful person. Don’t come seeking death next time.”

He no longer cared about this former Xia remnant, and took Jing Li and Lian Yu Chan away.

Lin Xian continued to chop wood. Bai Yu Xia yawned a bored yawn and went back to the kitchen to inspect.

For a while, no one actually cared about Han Shao. As a captured and released assassin, he sat dull on the ground of the wood house, stunned for a long time.

After solving this small matter, Jiang Wang took the two people and walked towards the top floor again, casually saying, “Let’s go upstairs to see the living quarters. For the next period, we will all cultivate together.”

He intentionally looked at Lian Yu Chan. “Wait until the matter is resolved, then you can go back.”

Lian Yu Chan naturally understood that the so-called “matter resolved” referred to the Zhuang Country envoy leaving Xiang Country.

She had a mind to ask why the boss didn’t cut the grass and remove the roots and kill that Xia Country person, but finally only said “um.”

The three people went upstairs, and their footsteps gradually became one sound.

When they reached the fourth floor, the person named Xi Ming who had checked out downstairs nodded in greeting to Jiang Wang.

The stairs were very spacious, accommodating five people side by side, almost about to pass by.

Jiang Wang’s smile was gentle, and Xi Ming’s drunk eyes were slightly intoxicated.

Jing Li seriously looked at Xi Ming.

Lian Yu Chan didn’t know who this person was. The twin swords at her waist trembled for some reason, and she lifted her hand to press them down.

Jiang Wang suddenly asked, “Brother Xi, why not chat on the top floor?”

Xi Ming stopped his steps downstairs, quite surprised. “Convenient?”

Jiang Wang pointed at Jing Li and laughed with a double meaning, “This is the convenient door.”

The phrase “convenient door” originally referred to the Buddhist way of guiding people into the teaching, and later evolved to mean giving people a convenient way.

Xi Ming smiled slightly. “Then I’ll respectfully obey.”

Thus, the four people went upstairs, directly to the top floor.

Jiang Wang took out several meditation mats and invited the three people to sit. This room was usually empty because he meditated and cultivated there. There was no decoration, and the four people sat in a circle, not at all crowded.

“Is Brother Xi doing business in Xing Yue Yuan recently?” Jiang Wang asked.

Xi Ming’s cross-legged posture was very orthodox, straight and not at all sloppy. Hearing the words, he laughed. “Almost.”

His smile gave people a feeling that he clearly didn’t like to laugh but was laughing very standardly. The arc of his mouth seemed to have been measured with a ruler.

Jiang Wang said unexpectedly, “Then why don’t you just live in Bai Yu Jing during this period? We can still discuss cultivation together.”

Xi Ming was very surprised. “Brother Jiang knows me?”

Jiang Wang said, “Before today, I didn’t know.”

“Since you don’t know, then you…”

“That’s precisely the reason I invited you.”

Zhuang Gao Xian’s plan to send Lin Zheng Ren as an envoy and fish out Jiang Wang had three steps in total: first, convene a meeting to discuss the stele text of the Life Spirit Stele; then, open a meeting on the Dead Law of Maple Forest for sacrifice; and then, trample on the remains of Aunt Song.

This was revealed by Lin Zheng Ren.

As long as Jiang Wang could endure it, these things would not harm him.

And he inferred that Zhuang Gao Xian and the Zhuang Country envoy would frame a life-and-death situation. As long as there was enough evidence to prove that he had no time to kill Lin Zheng Ren, this situation would naturally collapse.

Is it enough to prove that Xuan Kong Temple’s Liu Li Buddha Child’s shadow doesn’t leave for twelve hours a day?

Is it enough to prove that the daughter of the great pillar country that your Zhuang Country envoy is visiting doesn’t leave her shadow for twelve hours a day?

Is it enough to prove that a merchant who has never dealt with him before and can make Jing Li vigilant is coming to Bai Yu Jing to sit and meditate and cultivate from time to time?

In this situation, even if someone personally saw Jiang Wang kill Lin Zheng Ren, it wouldn’t count!

If Zhuang Gao Xian wanted to forcibly frame him, besides exposing his own means, it would be completely useless.

As for what Xi Ming came for, what his purpose was exactly, Jiang Wang didn’t care at this moment.

Xi Ming smiled. “You don’t worry, I’m like the little holy monk worried about that kind of me?”

“Are you really here to do business?” Jiang Wang asked.

Xi Ming replied, “I’m really here to do business. Ancestral business.”

Jiang Wang said warmly, “We have no grudges in the past and no enmity recently. Everything can be discussed and handled.”

“Then shouldn’t we formally get to know each other?” Xi Ming asked.

Jiang Wang said, “Wait until you feel it’s appropriate.”

Xi Ming was thoughtful, and finally said, “Then just wait a bit longer.”

“How? Decided?” Jiang Wang said, “The room rent can be calculated a bit cheaper for you.”

Xi Ming probably didn’t think he still needed to calculate room rent and was stunned for a moment.

Jiang Wang added, “Where else do you live?”

This indeed made sense.

Xi Ming then politely said, “Then I’ll trouble you.”

“No trouble.” Jiang Wang’s tone was light and slow, his eyes sincere. “Your room is next door, turn right out the door. If you need anything, you can ask Manager Bai to purchase it. He is a fair person.”

“…Okay.” Xi Ming was indeed a big figure from an unclear background. Hearing that he still needed to purchase things, he didn’t drag his feet and got up to leave.

Jiang Wang’s manner was composed, and he said to Lian Yu Chan, “Your room is on the left side. Why don’t you go and see it first? If you need anything, just tell Manager Bai, and he will prepare it for you.”

Lian Yu Chan also politely thanked him and got up to leave.

In the spacious and quiet room, only Jiang Wang and Jing Li were left.

The two people looked at each other.

Jing Li, the monk, gave a doubtful look.

Jiang Wang nodded.

Jing Li directly untied the bedding from his back and neatly started to make the bed. At first glance, he wasn’t the pampered type. Also, Ku Jue couldn’t even pack his own things clearly. He wore ragged clothes every day. Wanting him to pamper Jing Li was indeed a bit difficult.

Jiang Wang reached out to stop him. “Little senior brother, what are you doing?”

Jing Li said puzzled, “I asked you if we were living here, didn’t you nod?”

Jiang Wang sighed. “I thought you were asking me about Xi Ming’s arrangement… This is our meditation and cultivation room. Manager Bai will have people tidy up the living quarters. Put your bedding aside for now. Don’t you still need to bring it back to Xuan Kong Temple later?”

Jing Li corrected him. “It’s San Bao Mountain. Not a needle or thread of our things can be taken advantage of by others. This is what Master said.”

Jiang Wang nodded in praise. “It’s no wonder that Real Person Ku Jue is able to Dong Zhen!”

Jing Li finally reacted at this time. “What arrangement about Xi Ming? Should I go tie him up?”

Jiang Wang quickly pulled him. “No, no, forget it, it doesn’t matter! Just treat him as a passerby. We should eat when we should, drink when we should, and cultivate when we should.”

The two people looked at each other, each sitting upright. When he said cultivate, they cultivated.

Finally, a tacit understanding.

These days, Jiang Wang always manifested his divine soul in the Yu Heng Star Tower to meditate, and Sen Hai old dragon always came to chat.

Both sides seemed to have become much closer and friendlier because of the previous openness. All the old grudges were like clouds and smoke. Both with big bellies, neither of them cared.

The opportunity to become dao was destroyed? Isn’t it good to give it to Guan Yan!

Was he almost seized? Didn’t he fail to seize it?

One person and one dragon talked very happily, and their friendship gradually deepened.

And what kind of tacit understanding was it?

But what was not tacit was that Jiang Wang didn’t seem to care about the Wu Han Gong inheritance and never mentioned it once. He only cared about some historical anecdotes, dragon race secrets, the love-hate entanglement between the ancient dragon emperor Xi Hun clan and the human emperor Lie Shan clan…

I, the old dragon, am not a storyteller!

Ultimately caring about the growth of the human race heavenly pride and expecting Jiang Wang’s future, Sen Hai old dragon, with sincere enthusiasm, once again took the initiative to mention, “Speaking of the Wu Han Gong inheritance, I really feel it’s very suitable for you. You are such a genius, and you have such a perfect resume… If you don’t achieve perfect Dong Zhen, it’s really too pity.”

Jiang Wang sighed. “I am a down-to-earth person. Shen Lin is still far from the end, and the matter of Dong Zhen is still far away. Let’s talk about it later!”

Sen Hai old dragon earnestly advised, “Being down-to-earth is good, but sometimes you also need to prepare for a rainy day. Haven’t you heard ‘temporarily hug the Buddha’s foot, the Buddha gives you one foot’? When the matter is at hand, will you still be in time?”

Jiang Wang said thoughtfully, “I believe more in supporting the sky wood and resisting the wind and rain myself. Like this, you can pass me a few more dragon race secret methods to consolidate my foundation.”

Sen Hai old dragon cried poverty. “I am upright and incorrupt, with clean sleeves. I was driven out of Cang Hai early. How much accumulation do I have? You are already a Shen Lin realm cultivator, and your eyesight is quite high. I have already given you one pupil technique, two divine soul secret methods, and four or five elemental spells…”

The Dao platform evolved by Tai Xu Illusion had already been verified, and its quality was indeed not bad, and the exchange of merit was considerable. The old dragon actually didn’t do anything to it. Otherwise, Jiang Wang would also be lazy to reach out.

“Oh, I see.” Jiang Wang sighed. “It’s a pity that the starry sky is too far and the road is dangerous, easy to get lost. My combat power is low, and I’m really afraid of accidents. Otherwise, let’s wait until I reach Dong Zhen? Will I have more grasp at that time?”

“If the foundation of Dong Zhen is not laid well, it will be impossible to remedy after Dong Zhen. I was driven away by that treacherous thief Tai Yong precisely because my foundation was not firm enough, and later I couldn’t compete with Star Lord Guan Yan either. You see, one step behind, step by step behind.” Sen Hai old dragon thought very much for Jiang Wang. After taking himself as an example, he said again, “Like this, I still have an ancient method of profound structure of the dragon race’s star chart here, which was passed down by the ancient dragon emperor. After you learn it, you will no longer be lost in the universe. I was able to find Yu Heng and locate the remains of Wu Han Gong precisely by relying on this method.”

Jiang Wang was absolutely not a greedy person, and he also cared very much about Sen Hai old dragon’s feelings, so he reluctantly declined, “Although after learning it, I indeed dare to set off… but such a precious method, is it not too appropriate?”

“With our relationship—”

“Then many thanks!”

First thing, finally thirty thousand average orders, a milestone added. This all depends on everyone’s word of mouth. Thank you!

Second thing, that web novel god scene is only in the top thirty. Now it has dropped to over thirty. Everyone’s focus is on Jiang Wu Qi’s “form as autumn frost”.
