Loyal Heart Roaming the Skies
Chapter 78: Am I bad or not?

After Hu and his son left, Jiang Wang calmly took a few steps.

He sensed the urgency and restraint in Hu Shaomeng's actions, which satisfied him.

He was afraid that his actions would go unnoticed, which would prove his thoughts wrong.

In contrast to Jiang Wang's relaxed mood, Zhu Biqiong's tears were flowing uncontrollably.

Although she was inexperienced, she knew that there were bad people and bad things in the world.

She also knew how terrifying it was to be at the mercy of a malicious person.

But she knew that there was no one left to protect her. Her sister, who had always stood in front of her, shielding her from the wind and rain... had left forever.

"Tsk tsk tsk." Jiang Wang deliberately walked up to her, looking at her watery eyes and making a clicking sound with his mouth.

This young girl had a pair of almond-shaped eyes, which looked even more pitiful when filled with tears.

Jiang Wang smiled at her and said, "So, now you know who the bad person is, right?"

With this smile and question, Zhu Biqiong almost fainted from crying.

He was still laughing lasciviously and asking who the bad person was!

What kind of despicable person was he?

All the secret stories and ghostly tales that her senior sisters had told her came rushing to her mind.

"What's wrong? Did I expose Hu Shixiong's true face and make you so upset?" Jiang Wang was completely puzzled by the sight of the girl crying.

Zhu Biqiong was innocent, but not foolish.

At this moment, she had completely seen through Hu Shaomeng. Although he spoke eloquently, he didn't hesitate to abandon her when Jiang Wang exerted a little pressure.

Could such a person truly be sincere to her sister?

No wonder her sister cried every day, facing this heartless person!

But...

Compared to settling the score with that scum, the most terrifying thing was the person in front of her.

What should she do? What would he do to her?

He pretended to be innocent, pretending to be confused!

Zhu Biqiong was both fearful and scared, her thoughts in chaos. She didn't notice that Jiang Wang casually used a technique to release her from her restraints.

She struggled desperately and suddenly felt her body loosen. Without thinking, she instinctively kicked her leg out.

Although her legs were not long, they were well-proportioned and powerful, quite pleasing to the eye.

Of course, the prerequisite for being pleasing to the eye was that her leg didn't stop in such an awkward position.

Jiang Wang calmly moved back, keeping his vital points away from the sharp tip of her foot.

His face remained calm, but his back was cold. If he hadn't reacted quickly...

"I released you, and yet you attacked me?" Jiang Wang's voice turned cold.

Cold sweat broke out all over him, and he couldn't help but feel a chill.

Zhu Biqiong was once again restrained by the Tiger Binding technique, standing in a pose as if she were a chicken standing on one leg. No, to be precise, it was a pose of a chicken kicking its leg.

At this moment, she realized that she might have misunderstood something, but she couldn't speak, so she could only blink her big eyes, trying hard to convey her plea for mercy.

Amazingly, Jiang Wang understood her meaning.

"Can we talk without resorting to violence?" Jiang Wang asked.

Zhu Biqiong blinked her eyes again, indicating that it was possible.

It was the first time Jiang Wang had seen such rich meaning conveyed through a person's eyes.

With a thought, the rebellious wood energy inside Zhu Biqiong returned to its place, harmonizing the five elements. She was instantly freed from her restraints.

She didn't attempt to attack again, but remained cautious of Jiang Wang. Her tears hadn't dried yet, but she tried hard to appear mature and brave. "You forced me to stay here, what do you want to do?"

"I don't want to do anything. I just want you to see through Hu Shaomeng in front of me. Of course, in order to provide me with more opportunities to observe him, you will have to stay here for a few days. Don't ask me why I want to observe Hu Shaomeng, it has nothing to do with you."

Zhu Biqiong thought for a moment. "A few days?"

"Not too long." Jiang Wang smiled. "Of course, during this time, you will share a room with my maid."

Seeing the panic in Zhu Biqiong's eyes, Jiang Wang added, "Don't worry, my maid doesn't sleep with me."

...Why does the more I explain, the stranger it sounds?

Zhu Biqiong, after all, understood that Jiang Wang had no ill intentions.

After thinking for a while, she suddenly asked, "Can I ask you a question?"

"Go ahead."

"The secret technique you used to restrain me earlier, what was it?"

Jiang Wang:...

Miss, aren't you a bit too straightforward? You already know it's a secret technique, and yet you still ask?

This is a secret Dao technique!

If this happened in the wilderness, this kind of question would usually be the beginning of a fight.

Seeing Jiang Wang's silence, Zhu Biqiong took out a misty pearl from her sleeve. "If you can teach me, I can exchange this with you!"

The pearl was round and smooth, with a hidden radiance. If one looked closely, they could see the ever-changing clouds inside the pearl, sometimes crowded with people, sometimes with mountains and rivers flowing. It was truly a rare treasure.

Afraid that Jiang Wang wouldn't recognize its value, she explained, "This is a Mirage Pearl, a treasure that only my Fishing Sea Tower possesses. It is extremely precious. Even in the Fishing Sea Tower, it is rare, and even Hu Shaomeng doesn't have one. I used this treasure to hide my tracks before. If I hadn't made a mistake, you wouldn't have discovered me!"

This child...

She was truly too innocent.

She seemed to have completely forgotten that her life and death were still in someone else's hands, and she was thinking about a fair trade. She casually took out the Mirage Pearl without considering whether Jiang Wang would kill her for it.

But Jiang Wang thought for a moment and realized that when the woman named Zhu Suyao was still alive, she must have protected this younger sister very well.

That's why she was so innocent, so unaware of the dangers of the world.

Jiang Wang didn't respond immediately. Instead, he called out, "Xiao Xiao! This Miss Zhu will be sharing a room with you for the next few days. Help her settle in."

Ever since Hu You brought the people from the Heavy Profound Clan, Xiao Xiao had been hiding in her room, listening for any movement.

When she heard the order, she hurriedly ran out and came to the main hall, respectfully saying, "Miss Zhu, come this way.""Ah! Are you really not going to trade?" Zhu Biqiong asked Jiang Wang as they walked.

The Shen Pearl itself could conceal one's presence and move stealthily, which was exactly what Jiang Wang needed, so of course he was tempted. Moreover, the Shen Pearl could greatly enhance illusion techniques, which would perfectly complement his Dao technique, Flower Sea.

However, the Dao technique of Binding Tiger was given to him by Zhong Xuan Sheng. Just because Zhong Xuan Sheng had gone to great lengths to gather these secret Dao techniques for Jiang Wang, it didn't mean he was willing to have these secrets spread all over the world.

Jiang Wang couldn't make this decision without his consent.

"One last question!" At this point, Zhu Biqiong had reached the courtyard and suddenly turned around to ask, "Why did you help me?"

She was referring to him helping her see through Hu Shaomeng's true face.

It was just a moment of kindness.

Jiang Wang didn't want to portray himself as some kind of hero, nor did he want this overly naive girl to believe that there were many good people in this world.

"If you really need a reason... it might be because I also have a younger sister."

Jiang Wang could empathize with the feeling of wanting to protect one's younger sister and keep her away from any harm.

Back in Fenglin City, he would pick her up and drop her off every day amidst his arduous cultivation, fearing that his sister would suffer even the slightest grievance.

He even regretted not getting to know the female cultivator from the Fishing Sea Tower better when he was outside the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm. He wondered what she had encountered in the Secret Realm and who had killed her.

Zhu Biqiong pursed her lips and said no more.

...

At this moment, Jiang Wang suddenly wanted to write a letter to An An. He had a lot to say to her, many concerns and reminders. But Yunhe was still on his way to Yun Country and had not returned.

All he could do was sigh softly.

He returned to his room and continued to cultivate the White Tiger Chapter. This was a matter of patience, and since body refining was not his forte, he could only wait for the final step of the Four Spirits Convergence.

Then there was the cultivation of rushing through the meridians, a daily routine of morning and evening classes.

He continued to practice his Dao techniques, Thorn Crown, Flower Sea, Binding Tiger...

Then it was the cleansing of the Heaven and Earth Gate.

This cycle repeated day after day.

He wanted to become stronger, much stronger.

He didn't want to end up like Zhu Suyao, suddenly dying one day and leaving Jiang An An unprepared to face the harsh realities of this world.
