Chapter 39: At the Door 1
Translator: 549690339
The next day.
Jiang Yuan slowly opened his eyes, putting an end to his spiritual refinement.
Then, he massaged his brows.
Suddenly, he called out, “Xiaoxiao, come in!”
Outside the door, Shu Xiaoxiao, who was preparing to knock, opened her mouth in surprise.
“Amazing!”
Then she opened the door and stood before Jiang Yuan, greeting him, “Young Master, there is someone asking for you.”
Jiang Yuan’s mind stirred.
He instantly perceived the presence of two visitors at the door. He was somewhat surprised, it was them!
The young man and his bodyguard from the third floor of Yunyan Pavilion yesterday.
Thus, he said, “Xiaoxiao, bring them to the courtyard.”
“Yes, Young Master!”
After a short while.
In the courtyard of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.
Jiang Yuan had just poured himself a cup of tea when he heard footsteps.
The next moment.
A young man appeared before Jiang Yuan’s eyes.
About seventeen or eighteen, with a handsome face and a somewhat feminine look.
Behind him was an incredibly muscular middle-aged man, his body covered in large and small scars.
Upon seeing Jiang Ning, the young man’s face broke into a hearty smile.
“Greetings, Brother Jiang. I am Wang Yue from the Wang Family of Beiyuan Commandery visiting unexpectedly. Please accept my apologies.”
The Wang Family from Beiyuan Commandery?
Jiang Yuan was somewhat puzzled; he didn’t have any information about the Wang Family of Beiyuan Commandery in his mind.
However, judging by his expression, he seemed quite proud of being a Wang Family member.
It’s likely a large family, otherwise, his bodyguard wouldn’t be a strong man at the ninth stage of Body Forging.
Jiang Yuan smiled, “Sit.”
Wang Yue sat down accordingly.
Jiang Yuan asked, “I wonder what brings Brother Wang to my door unexpectedly?”
Wang Yue bowed slightly and said, “To be honest, Brother Jiang, I’m here today mainly to apologize. I was too impulsive yesterday.”
Jiang Yuan laughed, “No harm! Your bodyguard’s actions were to my liking! ” The moment Wang Yue heard this, curiosity flashed in his eyes.
“I am slightly confused, does Brother Jiang possess the eighth or ninth level of
Body Forging?”
“Eighth!”
“Eighth?” Wang Yue looked shocked, blurting out in surprise.
The strong man behind him also had a slight change in expression and his face suddenly turned serious.
It only took a moment for Wang Yue to adjust his expression.
He raised his tea cup and said, “Just as expected of the young prodigy that could alarm the Sunset Sect. With my tea standing in for wine, I toast to Brother Jiang. I hope that Brother Jiang will transcend worldliness and become an immortal!”
Jiang Yuan also raised his cup and drank with him.
Looking at Wang Yue, who appeared sincere, Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but admire him.
As expected of someone from a great family, the way he treats people is impeccable.
Even he felt that Wang Yue was a good person!
Just as Wang Yue seemed to recall something.
“By the way!” he said, then took something out of his bosom, “Brother Jiang, this is the slave contract of Bai Susu, also known as the Yunyan Pavilion’s Su
Xin. Her father, the former governor of Qinghe Commandery, committed a grave crime, and she was also implicated and reduced to a slave.”
Saying this, he put the slave contract in front of Jiang Yuan.
A slight smile was on his face, “Today, I give this slave contract of Bai Susu to Brother Jiang, she will be at Brother Jiang’s disposal. Her future is dependent on Brother Jiang’s whim.”
Jiang Yuan held the slave contract of Bai Susu in his hand, with a myriad of thoughts in his heart.
Such a small piece of paper could decide her future. Condemned to a life of servitude, never to rise again.
But to him, this contract that dictated her destiny was merely a tool others used to curry favor.
This is the change that power brings.
At this thought, Jiang Yuan became even more drawn to the path of cultivation.
This path is endlessly enchanting, how can it not bewitch people?
Subsequently, Jiang Yuan took over the servant contract, and lightly brushed over it with his palm.
In just a moment, the contract turned into a pile of white fragments, blown away by the wind.
“I admire, I admire!” Wang Yue said, “Brother Jiang truly treasures beauty. Such a beauty, and Brother Jiang actually let her go free. I thought Brother Jiang wanted to keep her by his side as a concubine!”
Jiang Yuan chuckled, “Thank you for the good intentions, Brother Wang.”
Wang Yue immediately burst into hearty laughter, “As long as I can help Brother Jiang!”
Afterward, after exchanging a few pleasantries, Wang Yue excused himself and left early.
He understood the principle of not revealing too much to casual acquaintances!
Now that he had done a favor for Jiang Yuan, it was about time to leave.
Outside the Escort Agency.
Just after leaving the Zhenyuan Escort Agency.
Wang Yue’s smile slowly faded.
“Da, what do you think of this Jiang Yuan?”
“He’s a talent, with limitless potential! The fact that he has reached the eighth level of Body Forging at his age is not particularly scary. What’s scary is that his martial intent can actually suppress me!”
Wang Yue nodded solemnly.
Da had been with him for many years, he knew very well about Da’s capabilities, although amongst those who reached the ninth level of Body Forging, he was not among the top.
But he was certainly in the midfield.
One could not describe him as weak.
But Da, with such capabilities, was surprisingly suppressed by Jiang Yuan’s martial intent yesterday.
In that case, it’s terrifying!
A Body Forging eighth level suppressed a ninth level with martial intent; it’s too exaggerated!
Fortunately, he had established a good bond with him, a friend, not an enemy.
In this way, the stronger Jiang Yuan is, the more beneficial it is to him.
If in the future he becomes a transcendent, becoming a member of the Immortals.
The invisible benefit brought about by his action today will be calculated in thousands and hundreds of times.
Thinking of this, a smile immediately appeared on Wang Yue’s face.
“Da, get ready to return to Beiyuan Commandery. Before we leave, remember to order the person in charge here, that Su Xin from Yunyan Pavilion absolutely cannot have any accidents!” |
Da nodded, “Yes, sir!”
Black Wind Tribe.
Juyi Hall.
“The Young Master said, that token is fake!”
A mysterious man, clad in a cloak that hid his face, stated.
At this moment, the Grand Master of the Black Wind Tribe, Ning Buqi, knit his brows.
“Fake? How could it be fake? You and I robbed the Zhenyuan Escort Agency together, you were also present then. How could he have had the chance to switch it?”
The mysterious man said, “There is only one explanation. He switched it before he set out, or the Zhenyuan Escort Agency delivered a dummy, the real good has already been secretly delivered to the Su Family in Luoshui Commandery.”
“Aren’t those two explanations?” Ning Buqi queried.
The mysterious man: .
After a moment, as if nothing happened, he continued, “If the goods were switched by Jiang Zhenyuan, then they could very well be in the hands of Jiang Yuan in Lin’an County now. Find an opportunity to catch him and force it out.” “But… ”
“There are no ‘buts’! You have taken advantage from my Young Master, you must handle this matter,”
Ning Buqi immediately retorted angrily, “Wait a minute, let me finish!”
“Speak!”
“But I can’t get into Lin’an County now, Li Hong is a disciple of the Sunset Sect if I dare to enter Lin’an County now, with him it would be equivalent to sending myself to death.”
The mysterious man said, “No problem! Before I came, the Young Master had investigated Li Hong, he will certainly return to the Sect within three to two months, or one and a half years at the latest. Once he leaves, with your capabilities, you will naturally have the opportunity to enter Lin’an County.”
“Alright!” Ning Buqi nodded, “After he leaves, I will sneak into Lin’an County and capture Jiang Yuan. At that time, whether or not he has the item, I would know with just one question.”
The mysterious man nodded satisfactorily, and with a flash, disappeared from the Juyi Hall of the Black Wind Tribe.
Seeing the mysterious man disappear.
Only then did Ning Buqi disdainfully say, “Sect token, do you think anyone can become a disciple once they get the token? Without sufficient talent, you’ll only be kicked out..”
