Chapter 221: Chapter 136: Losing My Wife? _2

He was indeed curious about reincarnation, because Jiang Shouzhong thought of Ye, and thus he asked, "Does everyone reincarnate? I mean, do they know who they were in their previous lives?"

Jiang Yi laughed, her charming smile bright as pearls cast in shadow brightened the living room, leaving the young girl Er Liang dazed and bewildered, feeling that even the fairies in heaven could not compare.

"Little one, what are you thinking? If everyone could remember their past lives, wouldn’t this world be in chaos? Would I not carelessly live this life, and then commit suicide by jumping into a lake, hoping to be reborn into a better next life?"

Jiang Yi laughed and said, "The reincarnation of the Protector Deity of the Esoteric Sect that I mentioned just now is merely an exception. To be precise, it was because he had consumed the relics of the living Buddha before death. After death, this relic, which merged with his cultivation and even some of his memories, entered the body of a pregnant woman by chance.

Eventually, when this child grows to a certain stage, or experiences some stimulus, the relic within will be activated. Then, the cultivation and memories of the past person will appear.

But then again, this cannot truly be considered reincarnation. It is merely the memories and cultivation of a deceased person coming into a new person. After all, two people are ultimately two separate beings; dead is dead."

Jiang Shouzhong nodded, feeling a bit disappointed.

"Are there many relics of the living Buddha?" Zhang Que’er blinked her curious eyes.

Jiang Yi found this pure and beautiful girl quite endearing. Her eyes softened as she explained, "The relics of the living Buddha are not ordinary vitality. They are relics left by the only living Buddha who could have ascended to heaven, and there are only three of them in total.

One was acquired by the Protector Deity of the Esoteric Sect; as for the remaining two, no one knows their whereabouts. However, many years ago, I heard some rumors about relics in Yanrong, but whether they’re true or false, I couldn’t say."

Zhang Que’er uttered an "oh," then with a twinkle in her eyes said sweetly, "Sister, are you a fairy reincarnated?"

Jiang Yi gave a smile that was not quite a smile and extended her delicate finger, teasing Zhang Que’er from the air, "You sly little girl, with such sweet words, are you trying to coax a treasure out of me?"

Zhang Que’er innocently replied, "I truly think you’re beautiful, just like a fairy."

"Nice try, I’m not falling for that."

Jiang Yi’s gaze turned to Er Liang, "If this girl’s tongue were a bit sweeter, perhaps I might even give her a gift."

Er Liang, who was busily eating her meal, paused and instinctively licked her lips, mumbling, "I... I’m not good at sweet talking."

Jiang Yi was taken aback, then burst into laughter, her hearty laughter causing her clothes to flutter like a splash of snow.

"You really are adorable, little girl. How about you come with auntie? You’ll have all the wealth and status you could want."

Er Liang shook her head vigorously, "I already have a master."

Jiang Yi stopped teasing the girl and turned to Zhang Que’er, "You’re an active one, aren’t you? Would you like to come with me? I’ll give you a secret manual for your cultivation, but you’ll have to listen to me afterward."

Zhang Que’er’s eyes lit up at the mention of the secret manual, but the latter half of the sentence dimmed her spirit, and she shook her head, "No thanks, I don’t like being told what to do. Sister, do you know the Sword Demon? How high is his cultivation ranked in the world?"

Upon hearing the Sword Demon’s name, Jiang Yi’s expression involuntarily turned serious. She pondered her words, then softly said, "As for Yan Changqing’s cultivation, it’s hard to judge. Just taking last year’s martial arts expert rankings for example, Yan Changqing was ranked tenth."

"Only tenth?"

Jiang Shouzhong was astonished.

That didn’t make sense; even Li Guanshi, ranked second in the world, clearly feared Yan Changqing, so how could he only be ranked tenth?

Zhang Que’er also felt disappointed upon hearing this.

She had previously heard from Mengniang and thought that if he wasn’t the first, he should at least be in the top three.

Jiang Yi smoothed her hair back, laughing, "Actually, there are many reasons for this. First, Yan Changqing rarely makes a move, and he never fights desperately against anyone, never giving his full effort.

In earlier years, when his realm wasn’t as high, he was known as a master who feared death, always fleeing if he couldn’t win. Even when facing an equal opponent, once his opponent fought desperately, he would either concede or flee. Many people in Jianghu ridiculed him, and many Sword Cultivators felt ashamed on his behalf.

He has three powerful swordsmanship techniques. No one has seen the last one, but the first two are jokingly referred to in Jianghu as ’Greedy Life Swordsmanship’ and ’Fear Death Swordsmanship.’ Yan Changqing, however, found these names quite fitting and adopted them. Back then, many mocked him.

But gradually, people began to realize that fewer and fewer could defeat him. He could easily handle the renowned experts, he could draw with Li Guanshi, and that was because he chose to step back, not wishing to continue the fight.

The most famous battle was when Zhao Wuxiu sought him out for a challenge. Yan Changqing lost that battle, but how many moves he lost by, no one knows.

Some say half a move, some say one move, others say Yan Changqing conceded out of fear... but regardless, no one dared question his strength by then."

At this point, Jiang Yi’s tone became mocking,

"After all, Yan Changqing is a Sword Demon who deviates from the true essence of Sword Dao, so many cultivators who pride themselves on the righteous path have complex feelings towards him. They are both envious and contemptuous, both fearful and respectful. Under such circumstances, his ranking has always been relatively low.

Plainly put, these righteous cultivators are just sour-graping, nitpicking at him."

Listening to Jiang Yi’s anecdotes about Mr. Yan, Jiang Shouzhong gained new insights into that unremarkable-looking man.

However, he couldn’t help but think, isn’t it perfectly normal to flee if you can’t win? Isn’t fearing death completely normal?
