Chapter 416: Chapter 225 Jiang Yi’s Confidence

"I didn’t see any crimson skull?"

Jiang Shouzhong recalled carefully the situation at the shrine inside the underground palace and said to Yeying, "There was only a Cow Demon in that underground palace, and there was nothing on the shrine."

"Maybe you didn’t notice it."

Yeying believed the information from the person in the cow-head mask was reliable.

Within the Sky Shadow Organization, that person was considered extremely trustworthy, and the information provided had never been wrong.

Jiang Shouzhong scratched his head.

He might really not have noticed... at that time, he was only focused on having an in-depth exchange with Mengniang.

"Then why didn’t the demon attack me?"

Jiang Shouzhong asked, puzzled.

Yeying said, "The crimson skull was suppressed on the shrine, transferring all its cultivation to the Cow Demon, so it could only hide itself and couldn’t come out to harm you."

So that was it.

At this moment, Jiang Shouzhong finally understood.

No wonder at that time in the underground palace, even Mengniang was puzzled why the original Cow Demon’s cultivation was so high.

"There’s another matter."

Yeying’s gaze flickered as she spoke slowly, "The former Magistrate He Benquan has come to Qingzhou."

What!?

Jiang Shouzhong’s expression changed drastically.

At that time, although he deduced from the archives that He Benquan wasn’t dead and had been saved by the noble concubine, he didn’t know where the other party was hiding.

It turned out this guy had actually bolded enough to come to Qingzhou.

Thinking of the case in Anhe Village, Jiang Shouzhong clenched his fists and asked, "Where is this guy?"

Yeying shook her head, "Currently I don’t know, but on the day you seized the Dragon Demon, he had attempted to assassinate the Crown Prince Zhou Yin. Probably, he came to Qingzhou this time to retaliate over the previous matter with the Crown Prince. I will secretly investigate, and I will inform you if there are any clues."

"Assassinating the Crown Prince... he really is ruthless."

Jiang Shouzhong was quite surprised.

Yeying gently stroked the golden dragon tattoo on the man’s back and said softly, "This Azure Dragon is of extraordinary significance, the only beast with a dragon totem, which can be used to tame the remaining Dragon Demon tribe in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Since it’s on your body, it means the Crown Prince did not obtain it legitimately. However, you don’t need to rush to the Ten Thousand Mountains to tame the Dragon Demon tribe now, let the Crown Prince hustle for nothing first. When the time is ripe, I will notify you."

Qingzhou’s Qu Hongling was already preparing to consolidate the Sky Demon Sect and subdue other forces. When that time comes, you will inevitably compete with her... In any case, I will help you establish a force as much as possible."

Alright, so you are pushing me to contend for supremacy over the realm.

Jiang Shouzhong laughed and said, "Don’t worry, Yeying, you previously told me to build a reputation, I have already started, and I’ve even given myself a formidable and intimidating nickname, called..."

"Pushing Eight Hundred Without a Match, Holding Up the Sun and Moon with Both Hands, Fighting Through the World Unbeaten, right."

"Is my reputation already that big?" Jiang Shouzhong was quite surprised.

The man hadn’t even mentioned it, yet Yeying got so irritated, she hit him on the head, "I told you to build a reputation, not to play the fool. What Eight Hundred Sun and Moon? In front of the Master of Famous Sword Mountain, you seem like a complete buffoon; even I feel embarrassed for you."

Jiang Shouzhong felt hurt, "I think it’s pretty good."

"Good, my foot!"

Yeying wanted to hit him on the head again, but the man dodged.

Yeying snorted coldly and said softly, "Next, I will create momentum for you. There might be people who will trouble you; deal with each one as they come, and if you can’t beat them, just run. Trust me, this is for your own good."

Jiang Shouzhong chuckled, "Of course, I trust you, Yeying. Oh, and Yeying, that Li Guanshi has been urgently looking for you; you must be careful, she possesses the cultivation of the Heavenly Human Realm, and if she catches you, you won’t be able to escape."

"I know what she wants, I will meet her in person if necessary."

Yeying’s voice was low as she glanced out the window at the sky, "I should go now, take care of yourself."

"Wait, I have a gift for you."

Jiang Shouzhong took out a black short blade, over two feet long from a cabinet, and handed it to her, "Selected from the Sword Storing Pavilion of the Famous Sword Villa."

Yeying took the short blade, her eyes sparkling, "Misty Hidden Blade?"

Jiang Shouzhong smiled, "I picked out seven blades; I think this one suits you. If you don’t like it, you can choose another one yourself."

"Did you also give one to Ran Qingchen?"

"Yes, I gave one to Xia He and the others too."

Yeying put away the short blade and said softly, "I’ve said it before, I don’t mind if you like other women, but Ran Qingchen..."

"Yeying, you worry too much, I don’t like her." Jiang Shouzhong shrugged.

Looking at the handsome and martial man she had been closely with for two months, Yeying said softly, "Maybe I don’t understand you as well as Sister Ye, but I have seen you at your most vulnerable.

Jiang, sometimes emotions are not something you can control at will, and perhaps unwittingly, the shadow of someone is already in your heart, it’s just that you haven’t noticed it yourself."

You two are actually quite similar, you feel that you owe her, and you always carry a sense of guilt towards her. While she feels that she owes you, and she always wants to make it up to you... In such a situation, it is very easy for feelings to develop."

Jiang Shouzhong waved his hand, "You are overthinking it, Yeying, Qingchen has her own aspirations..."

"But you will have to face reality eventually."

Yeying interrupted Jiang Shouzhong and said solemnly, "Jiang, I always remind you not to develop feelings for Ran Qingchen, not because I dislike her, on the contrary, I really admire and like her."

I can reveal a little secret to you; the initial marriage contract between the Mo and Ran families was personally brokered by Jiang Wan to my mother when Ran Qingchen was just born, and I was already two years old."

My mother concealed the truth, leading to everyone believing I was a boy. That’s also why Li Guanshi has always failed to find me."
