Loyal Heart Roaming the Skies
Chapter 60: Human affairs

With just one roar, the sky and earth darkened, and the moonlight suddenly dissipated.

The tiger bone divine image transformed from illusion to reality, and a whirlwind stepped on the moon, leaping down from the sky.

It seemed to possess the power of the Soaring Dragon Realm, fighting against both Li Jianqiu and the Tiger Bone Faced One!

As the anomaly appeared here, the headquarters of the Twin Jiao Society in the distance finally noticed the disturbance. A red firework exploded in the night sky.

This firework was like the final drumbeat.

For both the Tiger Bone Faced One and Li Jianqiu, it meant that they had to determine the winner in the shortest amount of time.

Because once the people from the Twin Jiao Society arrived, whether they killed the White Bone Taoist or used the name of the Tiger Bone Faced One to eliminate Li Jianqiu, it would be a simple matter and the truth would not be revealed.

At this moment, Li Jianqiu suddenly rose into the air and merged with his sword.

The night sky converged, and the moonlight bloomed again.

But the moonlight seemed to turn into blood.

The omnipresent moonlight became stained with blood.

The sword swept like a red tide.

The Tiger Bone Faced One stood still on the spot.

There was a wisp of spring breeze and a branch of peach blossoms.

Blooming on his heart.

The tiger bone divine image shattered piece by piece.

This was the Dao Sword Art that Li Jianqiu cultivated.

The Tiger Bone Faced One was furious that Li Jianqiu dared to break through his realm in front of him, but he didn't think about what kind of sword could cut through the barrier between heaven and earth in advance!

This was the separation of heaven and earth, and how many cultivators had lingered here for their entire lives.

...

After Li Jianqiu completed his sword strike, he didn't do anything else and immediately fled with his sword.

As long as he was alive, the Twin Jiao Society would naturally obediently send the bodies of his fellow disciples back to their homeland.

In fact, even if he couldn't defeat the Tiger Bone Faced One at the beginning, he still had a chance to escape.

But he didn't want to run.

He didn't want to run himself, and he didn't want the Tiger Bone Faced One to run either.

He wanted to kill.

This world was too big. If he missed today, he might never find it again.

So he pierced through the barrier of heaven and earth, regardless of the future difficulties on his path, and broke through in advance, revealing the sharpness of the peach branch.

He had never thought that such a tragic event as the sinking of the entire city into the Netherworld would happen to him.

Wang Changxiang died on his way home to visit his family, and there was no dispute that he was the number one in the current generation of the Qinghe County Taoist Academy. Some people secretly commented, "Unfortunate for Fenglin, fortunate for Jianqiu." After that, that person was hung at the gate of the county academy for ten days. The dean personally spoke, and Li Jianqiu let go of that foul-mouthed, barely alive guy.

No one could truly empathize, so those who comforted or mocked him could never fully understand.

His parents, relatives, friends, junior and senior brothers, and masters were all buried.

Emperor Zhuang declared the White Bone Taoist as a national enemy, and for Li Jianqiu, it was a personal grudge and a national hatred.

Only blood could wash away the peach branch.

...

Jiang Wang sat alone in his bedroom for a while, without even notifying the new maid Xiaoxiao, he left the room and wandered around the mine.

The Hu Family Mine was not heavily guarded, and Jiang Wang was currently a cultivator stationed at the mine, so he could come and go freely.

No one would be foolish enough to stop him and ask questions.

The production of the Tianqing Stone vein in this mine had declined significantly, and both Zhong Xuan Sheng and Jiang Wang himself felt that there was a problem.

However, Jiang Wang didn't feel anything unusual as he walked through the Hu Family Mine at this moment.

The people in the mine were going about their business, and everything was in order.

Jiang Wang casually chatted with a few miners and found out that the production of the Tianqing Stone vein in this mine was indeed nearing depletion.

At least these miners were well aware of it.

They had already started to worry about where they would work next.

The Hu Family Mine, controlled by Zhong Xuan Sheng, had better living conditions and benefits than other local mines in Yang Country.

Combining the fact that the Hu Family Mine had used up the quota of cultivators, it seemed like a simple case of Hu You privately benefiting from it.

He had taken a huge risk and greedily exploited the veins that belonged to the Zhong Xuan style in previous years.

As a result, the veins were depleted ahead of time.

But the problem was, why didn't the people who came to deliver the ore from the Zhong Xuan family before notice this? Were they all bribed by Hu You?

Was it because the Zhong Xuan family's deterrence was too weak, or was Hu You too powerful?

No...

Jiang Wang silently thought and quietly returned to his residence.

As a newcomer, it was normal to be curious about life in the mining area. But if he kept staring at the miners and chatting with them, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.

Jiang Wang decided to stay for now and see how things developed before making a decision.

After all, Zhong Xuan Sheng didn't have any time constraints, and it was a fact that the vein was about to be depleted, so there was no need to be anxious.

He could take advantage of this time to digest the gains from the previous period and prepare for breaking through the barrier between heaven and earth.

When he returned to the front gate of the academy, he encountered the uncle surnamed Xiang again.

Out of politeness, Jiang Wang smiled and nodded at him.

This time, he didn't ignore him.

But the man drooped his eyelids and looked at Jiang Wang with a face full of despair. "You're a newcomer... sigh."

Jiang Wang didn't know how to respond to this, so he just said, "Hello, senior."

"Senior..." He shook his head. "Sigh."

Jiang Wang was puzzled. "Do you... have something to say?"

"Not really." The man waved his hand and bid farewell.

Then he walked away, swaying.

Jiang Wang heard him sigh again.

Were there any normal people among the cultivators in this mine?

Jiang Wang was inexplicably confused.Walking into the courtyard, Xiao Xiao came to greet him, bowing and saying, "Master."

She had clearly taken great care to groom herself. Her long hair was neatly pinned up, and the bruise under her left eye was well concealed. Although she hadn't changed her clothes, she looked like a completely different person.

Her natural beauty was revealed.

She was not breathtakingly beautiful, but she had an above-average appearance.

As she grew older and matured, she might become even more beautiful.

Jiang Wang casually said, "Just do your job well here, no one will mistreat you."

"Yes." Xiao Xiao responded softly, then added, "Manager Hu sent over a jar of tiger bone wine, it's in the main hall."

"Oh. Did he say anything?"

"No."

"Alright." Jiang Wang nodded, noticing that Xiao Xiao didn't seem to be leaving, he couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything else?"

"I've prepared hot water for you, Master. Would you like to bathe and change your clothes?" Xiao Xiao bit her lower lip, continuing, "I've also prepared your change of clothes, they should fit you."

Am I so dirty that even the maids can't stand it?

On this journey, I indeed hadn't considered these aspects.

Jiang Wang felt a bit embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, "How do you know what size clothes I wear?"

"I used to be a tailor when I was young..."

She didn't continue.

Of course, Jiang Wang wouldn't be so foolish as to ask further.

"Where did the clothes come from?"

"I asked Manager Hu for them. They are all new and look a bit younger. I think... Master should be able to wear them." Xiao Xiao said, stealing a glance at Jiang Wang.

"I was only out for a while, and you've done quite a lot."

Jiang Wang was about to say this, but he stopped himself.

Although he meant no harm, saying so might make her overthink.

She had obviously suffered a lot from that old man named Ge.

She was probably just trying very hard to stay here.

"Alright, I'll go bathe and change."

Xiao Xiao immediately closed the courtyard door and led Jiang Wang to the bathroom.

The bathtub was already filled with hot water, and she had thoughtfully scattered flower petals in it, probably picked from the flower garden behind the house. The bathtub was filled with steam, and there was a large wooden bucket standing next to it.

She must have been carrying this wooden bucket back and forth to fetch water.

Thinking of how difficult it must have been for someone as petite as her to carry a full bucket of hot water, Jiang Wang couldn't help but feel a bit guilty.

The last time someone had prepared hot water for him to bathe was when he was a child...

He turned around and was startled, "What are you doing?"

In front of him,

Xiao Xiao had already undressed halfway, revealing a glimpse of her body.

Upon hearing his voice, she just lowered her head and remained silent, her shyness evident.

Jiang Wang quickly understood what was happening and sighed inwardly.

He reached out and helped her to close her clothes.

Looking at this girl who was probably only fourteen or fifteen years old, he said seriously, "Here, you don't need to do anything else. Absolutely nothing. You just need to clean the room regularly and serve tea when guests come. Understand?"

Xiao Xiao bit her lower lip and didn't say anything.

After a long while, she nodded.
