Chapter 115: Chapter 94 Jiang is Very Honest

Jiang Shouzhong cleared his throat and steadied his heart before stepping into the courtyard.

Inside the house, Li Guanshi was leisurely pruning the flowers and plants. Her delicate and slender figure was as tender as water, without a hint of boniness.

Because she was bending over, the roundness of her hips was fully visible.

It was hard to imagine that such a frail-looking woman could utterly crush the pride of Zhou Wei and his men.

"The Eight Extremes Sky-Burning Fist is passable, looking quite professional. Did Yan Changqing teach you that? But it doesn’t seem to be his style. Could it be that guy has taken another disciple for someone else?" Li Guanshi asked casually.

Jiang Shouzhong replied, "I promised Mr. Yan to keep it a secret."

"Only the dead can keep secrets in this world."

Li Guanshi turned around gracefully, tiptoeing towards Jiang Shouzhong with light and exquisite steps, her misty cheeks smiling, "But as it happens, you are precisely a dead man."

Jiang Shouzhong said, "I am here this time to confirm some things."

"Let’s hear it. I might not answer."

Li Guanshi poured him a cup of tea, joking, "Drink up, I haven’t poisoned it. Not many in this world get to drink my brewed tea. This is the blessing of ten lifetimes, cherish it."

Jiang Shouzhong, practically immune to all poisons, took a few sips and said, "I want to know how the snake demon is following me. I don’t want her sticking close to me."

Li Guanshi laughed, "Have you been reading too many wild novels? Do you think she’ll wrap around your arm in snake form and you have to carry her everywhere? Then at night, she’ll turn into a beauty and wrap around your waist in a warm bed?"

Jiang Shouzhong ignored her mockery and set his terms, "What’s the farthest she can stay away from me? Of course, assuming she can still save my life in time."

"Thirty steps," Li Guanshi replied.

Actually, she could be further away, but to absorb the death energy from Jiang Shouzhong’s body, this was already the limit.

Jiang Shouzhong estimated the distance and felt that his privacy could still be guaranteed, then asked, "Will she randomly kill the innocent or cause trouble everywhere? Besides, I am an official of the Liushan Division, if she is discovered, won’t that cause big trouble?"

Li Guanshi smiled, "Right now, she doesn’t have the guts to cause trouble. As for whether she’ll be discovered, as long as the other party is not a master of the Saintly Ascension Realm or has a special Magic Artifact, she generally won’t be detected."

"How long will she be with me?"

Jiang Shouzhong asked the most important question.

Li Guanshi pondered for a moment before replying lightly, "No more than a year. Of course, if you take a liking to her and have the ability to make her warm your bed and become your maid, you can keep her by your side for a lifetime."

Li Guanshi’s words were teasing, cheekily saying, "Snake demons are really quite interesting; you should spend a little more effort to win her over."

Jiang Shouzhong responded irritably, "I am human, not interested in other species."

"What a pity," Li Guanshi uttered regretfully, then became serious, "Any other questions?"

"No more,"

Jiang Shouzhong shook his head.

Li Guanshi lightly brushed away a strand of dead grass that had landed on his shoulder during the fight, her voice much softer, "Jiang Mo, remember this, no one in this world is kind to you without reason. If they treat you well, they certainly have a purpose, some ulterior motive."

Jiang Shouzhong’s brows furrowed, not understanding whom she was hinting at.

"Alright, you can go back now. Mengniang will come to find you in about an hour; I need to explain some things to her."

Li Guanshi issued the order to leave.

Jiang Shouzhong clasped his fists, "Then I will take my leave," and the man left the courtyard.

"Junior?"

Li Guanshi mocked herself, "The brat is deliberately making me sick on behalf of his ’sister’ Ye, huh."

Li Guanshi stood with her hands behind her back, her cool almond eyes watching the man’s retreating figure, her brows revealing a touch of hesitation and helplessness.

Actually, she was very unwilling to work with Jiang Mo.

Not to mention the unaccountably emerging Sword Demon Yan Changqing, even her disciple’s life-bound jade hairpin sword, filled with karma, made her hesitate, afraid that she might fall into the other’s trap.

Among the disciples, she had always disapproved of Ye Zhuchan, even though her talent was extremely high, that personality was not to Li Guanshi’s liking.

More than a year ago, the mentor and disciple almost broke up over an incident.

Since then, the girl had disappeared.

Now, it seemed as if they were worlds apart, the irony of fate.

"As your mentor, I actually wish you were truly dead,"

Li Guanshi sighed wistfully, and an involuntary memory surfaced.

She remembered when the girl was young, once she was punished to face the wall in contemplation on Blood Peak.

The girl wept while vowing in a huff, saying she would find a very powerful husband someday to ’bed’ her teacher.

Then, she would be the master, and her teacher the subordinate, disciplining the teacher every day.

Reflecting on this memory, Li Guanshi was lost in thought and then said with a smile to the red-clothed Snake Demon who appeared behind her:

"What do you think, is it possible that one day my disciple will suddenly appear, then, pointing her sword at me, say, ’Please Master, engage in Dual Cultivation with my husband’? Surely such a scene would be extremely interesting."

The red-clothed Snake Demon, completely bewildered, didn’t know how to respond.

Li Guanshi looked down at the teacup Jiang Shouzhong had drunk from, gently ground it into powder, her eyes drifting outside the house, she sneered, "Unfortunately, that will only happen in dreams."

...

When Mengniang appeared, Jiang Shouzhong was in the courtyard, practicing his punches with great hardship.

He was still primarily using the Earth Tao Body, with the Fire Tao Body as a supplement.

While officially still at the warrior third-rank realm, in reality, he was capable of seamlessly transitioning into the Grandmaster Realm.

Honestly, he felt a bit like a dark horse.

The morning sparring session with that little maid had been greatly beneficial; indeed, the best way to hone skills was through combat with others.
