Chapter 222: Chapter 136: Losing My Wife? _3

Putting on an act one by one.

Jiang Yi whispered, "In fact, Yan Changqing started his cultivation quite late. He didn’t begin the path of cultivation until he was twenty, which is considered very late, yet he still reached the peak of cultivation, which can truly be called a miracle. And the reason he chose to cultivate was to find his own daughter."

"I’ve heard him mention this," Jiang Shouzhong nodded.

He remembered when he first met Yan Changqing, the latter had said that he wandered the Jianghu in order to find his daughter.

At that time, he had even offered words of consolation.

Jiang Yi continued, "At first, he was very resistant to practicing martial arts, preferring to immerse himself in scholarly pursuits. However, one time his family suffered a calamity, and his daughter, not yet two years old, was taken by horse bandits. Yan Changqing fought desperately to save her, but he still failed to rescue her."

That was probably the only time in Yan Changqing’s life that he had fought his enemies with all he had. From then on, he began to practice martial arts, treasuring his life exceedingly when facing opponents, which made people in Jianghu scorn him as a coward who clung to life and feared death.

Even his second wife felt ashamed of his cowardice and left him, eventually remarrying someone else. Whether or not that second wife regrets her decision now, no one knows."

Jiang Shouzhong felt a surge of emotion.

People pursue cultivation either for the Dao or for fame and fortune.

But Mr. Yan doesn’t care about any of these. He has no desire to ascend to the ultimate Dao, doesn’t wish to be known as the number one in the world and doesn’t care about what others think of him. He just wants to find his daughter.

Perhaps in his heart, if he had been stronger back then, he could have saved his daughter.

That’s why he treasures his life so much, why he cultivates so diligently.

Clinging to life, fearing death...

For the sake of his daughter, it is worth clinging to life and fearing death. For his daughter, it’s worth risking his life once!

Zhang Que’er listened, her beautiful eyes shining brightly.

Her previous dejection swept away, she clenched her little fist and said, "I must take Senior Yan as my master, and I will work hard to become the best in the world, to make him proud!"

Jiang Yi was amused, "You’re young, but you have high aspirations."

"Do you think, Mr. Yan’s daughter is still alive?" Jiang Shouzhong suddenly asked.

Jiang Yi was startled, then sighed softly, "Who knows? After searching for twenty years, she may be dead, or she may have married and have children by now, or maybe... But since Yan Changqing refuses to give up, in his heart, she is certainly still alive."

...

After lunch, Jiang Yi planned to take the four sisters back home.

At that moment, unable to think of an excuse, Jiang Shouzhong was preparing to lay his cards on the table, when he heard someone knocking at the gate, calling out his name.

Jiang Shouzhong opened the door and, to his surprise, saw the director Ge Yulong.

There stood Ge Yulong, gasping for breath and drenched with sweat, "I say, Jiang, moving house without a word had me searching for ages, I nearly ran all over the Capital."

"What’s the matter?"

Jiang Shouzhong asked, puzzled.

Ge Yulong grabbed his shoulder and said, "Come with me quickly, the Empress Dowager wants to make use of you, you’re going to rise!"

The Empress?

Jiang Shouzhong was bewildered.

Before he could ask, Jiang Yi stepped forward and asked coldly, "What does Luo Wanqing want from him?"

Only then did Ge Yulong notice Jiang Yi, his expression changing as he quickly paid his respects, "I’ve seen Ms. Jiang."

"What does Luo Wanqing want from him?"

Jiang Yi’s face was cold.

Ge Yulong’s forehead sweated even more as he replied softly, "I... I’m not sure, it seems she wants Jiang Mo to investigate a case."

"Tell her that Jiang Mo is my man, and to find someone else."

"Ms. Jiang, this... might not be appropriate."

Ge Yulong felt like he was on the verge of tears.

"Out!"

Jiang Yi signaled Xia He to close the door.

As the door closed, Ge Yulong felt completely numb.

Looking at the confused Jiang Shouzhong, Jiang Yi said coldly, "This woman definitely has no good intentions; she won’t stop at this. I’ll stay here for now; I want to see if she dares to come for him!"

"Ah?"

Jiang Shouzhong was stunned.

Turning to look at the house, he thought, "Wife, it seems our home is getting a bit crowded, how about we buy a bigger one?"
