Chapter 852: Chapter 416: The Secret Place

After some contemplation and weighing the options, Jiang Shouzhong finally listened to Jiang Yi’s advice and decided to wait for Jiang Wan to appear.

Just like Jiang Yi said, Jiang Wan couldn’t hide forever.

Especially now that they had successfully arrived at the Ghost City, Jiang Wan had previously put a lot of effort into bringing him here, she surely had some sort of plan.

Jiang Shouzhong found a rather secluded place nearby to sit and wait.

There was not a hint of bloodstain in the dark sky, only those blood-red lanterns gently swaying in the eerie wind, casting a strange light.

Jiang Yi wrapped herself in her clothes, her gaze somewhat hollow as she stared into the void, her eyes full of sadness.

She wanted to find a place to sit, but as soon as her bottom touched the stone bench, she inhaled sharply from the pain, her eyebrows knitted, and then looked at Jiang Shouzhong with eyes full of anger and grievance.

This guy, couldn’t he be gentler?

The small flame of curiosity in Jiang Shouzhong’s heart couldn’t be suppressed, so he couldn’t help but ask, "Why is your sister so afraid to see you?"

"How would I know."

Jiang Yi replied grumpily, unwilling to pay attention to this guy.

But after a brief silence, she ultimately opened her mouth slowly and said, "Maybe it’s guilt."

"Guilt?"

Jiang Shouzhong was a bit puzzled.

Jiang Yi bit her lip, her eyes red as she said, "Suddenly going silent and just lying in the coffin, without leaving a word for me, what face does she have to see me."

Jiang Shouzhong thought, it shouldn’t be enough to hide because of this.

But then he turned his thoughts, and if he thought about it, if he had to achieve a certain plan, suddenly "died", and hadn’t informed his family beforehand, it indeed warranted guilt.

Isn’t Hong’er’s mindset now just like this?

And after Jiang Wan’s death, the saddest one was undoubtedly Jiang Yi.

To avenge her sister, she took risks to cultivate the Heavenly Demon Technique, almost going mad and losing her life.

Even if she eventually managed to hold onto her life, she ended up unable to continue her cultivation.

Jiang Shouzhong sighed, "Maybe your sister doesn’t want you to go through witnessing her death again.

After all, the current situation is that she only passed her memories and cultivation to Er Liang, the real body and even the soul are already gone.

When that time limit is reached, she might disappear again. She’s afraid you would have to bear the pain of losing her again, that’s why she’s hiding from you."

Jiang Yi remained silently quiet, not saying a word, her eyes showing complex emotions.

Jiang Shouzhong continued, "But rest assured, I will try to persuade her. After all, she needs to meet with you once, and talk it out."

"She’s not someone easily persuaded, she has been decisive since childhood, when she decides something, even eight cows can’t drag her back."

Jiang Yi tidied a few strands of her disheveled hair, her tone was calm but carried a hint of melancholy,

"Back then, when she suddenly passed away, I couldn’t accept it for a while, she didn’t leave me any words, nor did she speak of any resurrection plan beforehand. She is this selfish and never considers other people’s feelings."

Although Jiang Yi complains with her mouth, the grievance and pain in her eyes can’t be concealed, indicating deep sisterly affection.

At this time, Jiang Shouzhong saw that the white glow around Jiang Yi started to reappear again, and helplessly said, "Looks like you’re about to transform again."

Jiang Yi bit her silver teeth lightly, her face full of unwillingness.

Finally, she could only secretly curse, then looked coldly at Jiang Shouzhong and said in a chilling tone:

"Tell Jiang Wan, if she still doesn’t want to see me next time, I’ll... I’ll just die for her to see! No, she couldn’t care less about such threats. Just tell her, if she continues to hide, I’ll snatch her daughter’s man!"

"Ah?"

Jiang Shouzhong’s eyes widened instantly, the whole person was a little dumbfounded.

Big sis, what kind of threat is that.

After Jiang Yi’s words, her body gradually began to shrink.

The originally mature and alluring figure gradually reverted to the previous delicate and cute appearance, and then she softly collapsed into Jiang Shouzhong’s arms, as if she had lost all strength.

Almost at the same time, Jiang Erliang also suddenly fainted without any warning, his body tilted, as if he was about to collapse to the side.

Jiang Shouzhong quickly reached out his hand to hold the girl.

But the next moment, Jiang Erliang suddenly opened his eyes again.

The originally clear as water light in his eyes now became radiant and shimmering, with a distinct agility and wisdom, as if he was a different person.

The girl stood up from Jiang Shouzhong’s embrace, her gaze fell on the sleeping Little Jiangyi, and she whispered with a smile, "The pesky girl even dares to threaten me, she sure has some guts."

Jiang Wan was back.

Jiang Shouzhong’s mouth twitched, couldn’t help but ridicule, "You two, the transition is quite seamless."

At this point, Little Jiangyi also slowly woke up.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, her face full of confusion, "Dad, where are we?"

"We are in hell."

Jiang Wan gently pinched the little girl’s pink cheeks, with a smile on her face, jokingly said.

"Don’t touch me!"

Little Jiangyi angrily glared at Jiang Wan, shrinking her body into Jiang Shouzhong’s arms, obviously still quite annoyed with Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan flipped her wrist, like performing a magic trick, producing a string of red candied fruit, took a bite, then squinted her beautiful phoenix eyes, and directed her gaze towards the City Lord Mansion, saying to Jiang Shouzhong:

"Let Little Yi and the Cow Demon, Rat Demon stay here and guard, you come with me, and bring the dog demon too."
