Chapter 218: Chapter 133: A Five-Year Agreement?

In the Sect, the relationship between Luo Wanqing and Li Guanshi could hardly be considered good, but it wasn’t terrible either.

In Li Guanshi’s first year at the South Sea Holy Sect, the Sect Master had arranged for Luo Wanqing to be her guide in cultivation. Despite Luo Wanqing’s cold and arrogant nature, often putting on airs, she still performed her duties as a mentor to the younger disciple responsibly.

Moreover, Li Guanshi’s position as the new Sect Leader was acquired after Luo Wanqing had left the Sect, so the animosity between them was far less intense than with Jiang Wan.

It was just that Luo Wanqing had, after all, broken with the Sect, and the once junior sister had become the new Sect Leader. Although their meetings weren’t contentious enough to lead to fights, there were inevitably a few barbed comments exchanged.

"Sister, your temper hasn’t changed a bit,"

Li Guanshi’s eyes slightly lifted, like a crescent moon hanging on the branch, exuding an indescribable charm. Within this charm, there was a hint of playfulness and craftiness, "Perhaps sister could first share some of her rich experiences in bed, so junior sister can be prepared."

Gazing at the woman’s stunningly beautiful face capable of enchanting all living beings, Luo Wanqing felt somewhat dazed.

The mischievous and playful junior sister of the past had shed her green and immature air. Through years of hardships and the ups and downs of Jianghu, she had gradually become more mature and increasingly enchanting.

Like a fine wine aged over the years, becoming only more intoxicating with time.

The most beautiful woman under the heavens...

Although Luo Wanqing was very reluctant to admit it, she couldn’t help but lament that there was no one more beautiful than her in the world.

And yet, such a woman was destined to lead a solitary life.

"After all, how many truly get to win the prize; not knowing that one dreams all day of being a fish. Junior sister, why trouble yourself over this?"

Luo Wanqing’s eyes were fixed on her counterpart.

Li Guanshi suppressed the smile on her face and serenely looked down, "Once, Jiang Wan told me that the heavens above the heavens are still heavens, and the people above the people are always people; heaven and man forever exist at opposite ends... and then she told me that the Dao of Heaven is the Dao of Man, even Immortals cannot escape the ’human’ character; the so-called ascension is just another climb for the superior among men."

"Believe her? Heh."

Luo Wanqing reverted to her previous cold reserve, sneering, "The Dao naturally lacks sentiment; yet she insisted on following the path of sentiment and extreme emotion, ultimately meeting a tragic end. In plain terms, her aspirations were higher than the heavens, but her abilities fell short. Even her own man abandoned her."

Li Guanshi narrowed her beautiful bright eyes, speaking with a half-smile, "Does Sister Luo also believe that Jiang Wan was abandoned?"

Luo Wanqing lifted her gaze with a smile, although her eyes were devoid of any merriment, "What else can it be? Falling out of love for another?"

Li Guanshi, knowing well the grudges between the two, didn’t argue further on the matter.

She looked at the Formation that Wuchan Temple had successfully repaired and spoke softly, "Last year, in Jiang Yi’s armory, I perused the Unparalleled Sword Skill written by Jiang Wan for several days. At first, although I was amazed, I didn’t find it profound. Later on, after understanding some things, I discovered the intricacies of the swordsmanship and playfully altered the Unparalleled Sword Skill into the ’Invincible Sword Skill’, which resulted in a scolding from Jiang Yi."

"Unparalleled Sword Skill."

Luo Wanqing, as if having heard the biggest joke, didn’t hide her scoff, "She spent all her efforts on a lover’s swordsmanship, but never mastered it. There’s nothing more ridiculous in this world."

Li Guanshi said, "The Emperor is not a cultivator."

Luo Wanqing disdainfully replied, "Obviously, that’s why I said she..."

Luo Wanqing raised her eyebrows and pondered for a moment with her slender, jade-like neck lowered, and then indifferently said, "So the swordsmanship was not written for her and the Emperor, but for someone else. From this point of view, the third son from the Ran Family really won the lady’s heart."

However, Li Guanshi shook her head, her smile graceful, "People like to be presumptuous and make assumptions, and they believe what they see and hear. Sister Luo, if you have time, I will show you the last move of the Unparalleled Sword Skill, and you will understand why you lost."

"Lost? I, Luo Wanqing, have never lost!"

The woman seemed to have hit a raw nerve and angrily said, "I haven’t lost before, and I won’t lose in the future. As for the so-called Unparalleled Sword Skill, I have no interest in seeing it!"

With that, the woman flung her sleeves and soared into the sky.

Li Guanshi watched as her sister’s retreating figure disappeared into the distance, feeling somewhat helpless, and then turned to look at the newly repaired golden Buddha of Wuchan Temple, her gaze solidifying like frost and snow.

The woman turned and left.

As her figure vanished into the night sky, with a flick of her sleeve, the freshly repaired golden Buddha exploded.

The monks were dumbfounded.

Master Du E’s heart bled as he muttered, "Amitabha, don’t bother with women, Amitabha, women are like tigers, Amitabha, son of a leg..."

——

The death of the Crown Prince undoubtedly shocked the world.

According to the official statement, the Crown Prince had accidentally contracted a terrible disease and ultimately succumbed to it.

After consulting with the Ministry of Rites and the Astrological Bureau, the Emperor decided to bury the Crown Prince on the east side of Xiaoling, posthumously named "Crown Prince De Zhen," and ordered the dukes and ministers to manage the funeral rites.

Furthermore, all officials and military civilians in the Capital were forbidden from partaking in festivities, including weddings, for thirteen days.

After the temporary closure of Spring Rain Building, the girls also closed their legs. Jia thought he could take Qing Niang out to foster their relationship, but it turned out Qing Niang had gone on a trip for business.

With nothing else to do, Jia reluctantly went to seek out Jiang Shouzhong for some distraction.

Instead, he found his brother living in a new mansion.

At that moment, Jia became envious.

Seeing the courtyard filled with beautiful women made him even more envious.

Two months ago, he and Jiang were both single and shackled by broken homes. Two months later, not only was Jiang living in a luxuriously grand residence, but he was also hiding beauties in his home... while he still had nothing.

Only the gold leaf that he had given Qing Niang for the outdoor toilet could offer a sliver of comfort to his soul.

"Must have cost a pretty penny,"

Lu Renjia looked around the small courtyard with a face full of envy.

Jiang Shouzhong shook his head, "It’s not that much, after all. Converting it, it’s only about the price of a gilded straw hut."

"Jiang, you’ve changed, you weren’t like this before." Lu Renjia stared intently at Jiang Shouzhong, "I don’t care who you are, get the hell off Jiang now!"

Jiang Shouzhong kicked him irritably and started discussing serious matters, "We should be leaving the capital soon. I originally planned to take you and Zhang to Qingzhou to lay low, but Zhang has family. All I can do is ask Mr. Yuan Anjiang to look after them in secret. As for you, following me wouldn’t be a problem..."

"No, no, I don’t want to leave the capital for now."

Lu Renjia quickly waved his hand, "Qing Niang’s birthday is in just half a month. If I’m not here, she will definitely be heartbroken."

"Are you sure she’ll be heartbroken?" Jiang Shouzhong asked with a half-smile.

Lu Renjia nodded vigorously, then asked tentatively, "She should be, right?"

Jiang Shouzhong rolled his eyes, "If you want to stay, that’s fine. When the time comes, I’ll speak to Mr. Yuan. But when you go out on a daily basis, still be careful not to be targeted by the Luo Family."

"The Luo Family counts for nothing!"

Lu Renjia curled his lip, then suddenly shrank his neck and looked around, "Jiang, there’s no ears on the walls, right?"

Clearly, Jia was still scared.

Lu Renjia suddenly thought of something and chuckled in a hushed voice, "I got some insider information on the Luo Family from a few Jianghu friends. Do you know? Those scandalous affairs of Mr. Luo could actually be true."

"I’m not interested in listening," Jiang Shouzhong shook his head.

Lu Renjia didn’t care whether he listened or not and went on speaking anyway:

"They say the old geezer would split a person open and tie them up, hang them with a rope, then keep spinning them until the rope was all twisted. Then they would let go, and both the rope and the person would spin at high speed because of inertia..."

Lu Renjia laughed, "That’s why he’s called the Invincible Whirlwind Drill."

"Are you bored or what?" Jiang Shouzhong said irritably.

"That’s not the point..." Lu Renjia whispered, "It’s said that the old man is practicing a cultivation technique, but it’s incomplete, missing everything but the first volume, called something like the Yin-Yang Manuscript."

"Shentu Yin-Yang Records?" Jiang Shouzhong frowned.

Lu Renjia clapped his hands, "That’s it!"

Jiang Shouzhong fell into thought.

He had obtained the second volume of the Shentu Yin-Yang Records from Qing before and couldn’t understand it at all. Unexpectedly, the first volume was in the possession of the Luo Family... and judging by Mr. Luo’s actions, it was a Dual Cultivation Skill.

Jiang Shouzhong looked at Lu Renjia strangely, "Where did you get this kind of information?"

Lu Renjia said proudly, "Spring Rain Building has all sorts of people. Once the belt gets loose, so does the mouth. But it’s mainly about who you know, making friends on the ’path’..."

"Enough, enough. I don’t want to hear you bragging," Jiang Shouzhong interjected.

Suddenly, Jiang Shouzhong caught a glimpse of Zhang Que’er not far away, her face grim as if she had something to tell him.

Jiang Shouzhong sent Lu Renjia away and approached the girl to ask, "What’s wrong?"

Zhang Que’er said, "The official from the yamen promised to give me my mother’s body, but when I went to claim it, they reneged, saying the body had already been cremated. I don’t believe it. I want to go to the charitable estate tonight to see for myself. If my mother’s body is there, I’ll take it. Can you help me?"

Cremated?

Jiang Shouzhong was somewhat surprised.

Why would they cremate the body at this time?

Even the bodies at the Liushan Division that had been contaminated with Demon Energy wouldn’t just be cremated without reason.

Looking at the girl’s hopeful eyes, Jiang Shouzhong thought for a moment and said, "You stay at home. I’ll go and investigate."

"No, let’s go together!"

The young girl was very stubborn.

"Do you have a death wish?" Jiang Shouzhong said sternly, "Be obedient. I’ll go have a look. My cultivation is higher than yours, and I can respond to danger in time. Dragging you along, what good would that do?"

Zhang Que’er bit her lip, saying nothing.

She suddenly looked up at Jiang Shouzhong and said, "I heard from Aunt Mengniang that you have a master called the Sword Demon, a very powerful expert, right?"

Jiang Shouzhong was startled, not understanding why she was asking, but nodded, "Yeah, what about it?"

Zhang Que’er said earnestly, "I’ve made up my mind. I don’t want to die; I want to live well. Let the Sword Demon take me as his disciple and teach me swordsmanship. I want to be a heroine and kill all the evil in the world!"

Feeling the determination and resentment in the girl’s words, Jiang Shouzhong laughed, "You think taking disciples is like buying cabbage? If you really want to learn, I’ll teach you."

"You’re no good, learning from you won’t get me anywhere," Zhang Que’er shook her head.

Jiang Shouzhong was amused.

Before he could tease her, Zhang Que’er looked him in the eye and said with emphasis, "As long as you manage to get the Sword Demon to accept me as a disciple, in five years, I’ll become your wife!"

"Get lost!"

Jiang Shouzhong kicked the girl into the pond.

What was she thinking at such a young age.
