Chapter 220: Chapter 136: Is My Wife Gone?

Originally, Jiang Shouzhong planned to visit the Silver Moon Tower after lunch to inquire about the mysterious nun. However, just as Jinxiu was preparing the meal, Jiang Yi, accompanied by Chun Yu and Dong Xue, paid him a visit.

Although it was early spring, the lady still wore a fur coat to ward off the cold.

Her face, a blend of dignity and charm, shone like a radiant peony against the white fox fur, making her the brightest sight in the courtyard despite being surrounded by the four beautiful young women of spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

"Tsk, tsk, worthy of being the chief wife, truly cherishes her own husband."

Jiang Yi, admiring the delightful little courtyard with a smile as beautiful as a flower, said, "Such a nice place, it makes me want to move in. How about Master Jiang makes room for your concubine?"

Jiang Shouzhong chuckled, "If you like it, feel free to stay."

"Then it’s settled, save a room for me. If I have nowhere to go in the future, Master Jiang, you’ll have to take care of me."

Jiang Yi winked at the man, smiling charmingly, as if a spring breeze had swept through the courtyard.

Although he knew the woman was joking, Jiang Shouzhong was still startled and didn’t dare to joke with her anymore, asking seriously, "What brings Madam here today?"

"Nothing major, just heard you moved and came to see. Also..."

Jiang Yi glanced at Xia He and Qiuye, smiling lightly, "You must have heard about Mr. Luo’s death by now, so your crisis is temporarily resolved, and there’s no need for Xia He and Qiuye to accompany you anymore."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the two women shifted slightly.

Xia He was worried about her life pearl being discovered, while Qiuye felt a sense of loss.

Jiang Shouzhong’s heart skipped a beat.

The thing he feared most still happened.

His mind raced for a solution and he nodded, saying, "Indeed, they should have returned earlier. In recent days, Qingchen’s looks could kill, as if wanting to monitor me at all moments. As you see, he even assigned Jinxiu to watch over me. If you keep Qiuye and the others with me, Qingchen might really turn violent."

Jiang Shouzhong’s plan was simple.

Jiang Yi had sent Xia He and the others to irritate his niece. Now that he told her it worked well, she might not take Qiuye and the others back.

Upon hearing Jiang Shouzhong’s words, Jiang Yi sighed, "So that’s about it. Competing with a niece over pride is quite petty, and if she truly starts hating me, it won’t sit well with me either. Let it be, today Xia He and Qiuye will return with me."

Jiang Shouzhong was dumbfounded.

Big sister, why suddenly turn into a good person?

You are the big villain.

This sudden change of yours has thrown me off completely.

Jiang Yi’s beautiful eyes moved around, spotting the meal Jinxiu had just prepared on the dining table, her lips curling up, "Early arrival is less fortuitous than timely, having long heard of Miss Jinxiu’s culinary skills, and even holding the compliment ’Gourmet Marquis,’ today I shamelessly invite myself for a meal."

Without caring whether the host agreed, Jiang Yi took off her fur coat and took a seat directly.

Jiang Shouzhong noticed Qiuye’s anxious gaze and gently shook his head, signaling her not to worry as he thought of another plan.

Apart from Mengniang and Yelü Miaomiao, everyone else sat at the dining table.

Without her fur coat, Jiang Yi wore a light pink soft satin long dress underneath, which was thin and clung to her body, highlighting her slender waist and the graceful curves of her limbs even more prominently.

Watching the table full of beautiful women, Jiang Shouzhong was somewhat distracted.

There really is too much Yin energy at home.

While eating, Jiang Shouzhong started asking about the nun.

After listening to the description, Jiang Yi pondered for a moment and said, "It’s likely the Buddha Mother of the Esoteric Sect. Indeed, I heard she had come to the Capital. According to the information from Silver Moon Tower, a big event occurred at the Esoteric Sect not long ago—the Protector Deity Wrathful Vajra’s reincarnated body has awakened."

"Reincarnated?"

At that moment, Jiang Shouzhong felt like he was listening to a mythological tale.

But upon reflection, having seen ghosts and being a traveler himself, reincarnation didn’t seem all that strange.

Jiang Yi smiled, "Boy, do you know why Li Guanshi insists on ascending because someone has actually succeeded in the past, which suggests that there really might be immortals in heaven. Six hundred years ago, the Taoist Ancestor of Zhenxuan Mountain successfully ascended, and since then, no one has succeeded in six hundred years."

Jiang Shouzhong curiously asked, "Why has no one succeeded? Is it because the cosmic energy has thinned? Or, like the demon energy before, suddenly cut off?"

Jiang Yi explained, "Previously, there was a bridge in the cosmos called ’Ascension Bridge.’ When people cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Human Realm, they would sense the existence of this bridge. Only by crossing the Ascension Bridge could you truly become an immortal. But since the Taoist Ancestor ascended, the bridge has disappeared. To be precise, the Ascension Bridge was destroyed."

"Who destroyed it? The Taoist Ancestor?" Jiang Shouzhong frowned.

Jiang Yi, with lips as beautiful as a rhombus, was silent for a while, then gently shook her head, "Who knows? Maybe the Taoist Ancestor destroyed it, wishing to be the last immortal to ascend. Or perhaps it was the immortals in heaven, not wanting anyone else to come up. In any case, countless cultivators have given up over these six hundred years, even Zhao Wuxiu is content to be the Emperor’s lackey, indulging in the mundane world."

The woman, recalling her dear friend, sighed softly, "Sometimes being too obsessed is not good, obviously chasing after illusions, but still enjoying deceiving themselves and others."

Jiang Shouzhong had no particular feelings about this.

He had no interest in ascending. For him, living happily in this lifetime was enough.
