Chapter 146: Chapter 64 Blood Recognition, Blood Fusion Refinent!_2
“But not many can match him in terms of physical appearance,” Lin Qingyi said, resting her chin on her hands.
“And what else?” Lin Jiaer asked.
“As for martial arts, he’s also quite good! The person he fought today should have just entered Martial Arts Ninth Grade. In such a small place, that person could be considered a genius,” Lin Jiaer continued.
“The fact that he could so easily defeat him proves that he’s soone to be reckoned with here. It’s no wonder auntie thinks so highly of him.”
Listening to Lin Jiaer’s words, Lin Qingyi couldn’t help but frown slightly.
Although Lin Jiaer’s words were praising Jiang Ning,
...
there was sothing in her tone that made Lin Qingyi feel sowhat uncomfortable.
Small place… soone noteworthy… no wonder… thinks highly of him…
Then, Lin Qingyi’s frown relaxed slightly, and she thought to herself,
Let it be!
“This girl is from the Lin family of Dongling City, just like . Over the years, thanks to my overt and covert help, the Lin family has beco a top-notch family in Dongling City.”
It’s no wonder that she’s sowhat proud.
Thinking about this, she completely relaxed her brow.
Then Lin Qingyi spoke again: “Well then, auntie will arrange a ti for you two to et, how about that?”
Lin Jiaer hesitated for a mont, then nodded.
“Jiaer is willing to follow auntie’s orders.”
“Good!” Lin Qingyi said with a smile: “In the next few days, let the two of you et and have a good talk! If you’re both interested, we can pick a date for the wedding.”
“Mm-hmm!” Lin Jiaer nodded and then seed to think of sothing else.
“Auntie, which great family from Luoshui County does this man nad Jiang Ning co from?”
Lin Qingyi shook her head: “His background is average, to put it mildly; it’s actually quite poor. His parents were refugees. Sixteen years ago, due to the Red Dragon uprising, they beca refugees and then ca to Luoshui County. However, they didn’t even make it into the county town before they collapsed on the road.”
“So he’s been an orphan since he was little, raised by his elder brother.”
Afterward, Lin Qingyi added: “I have all the detailed information on Jiang Ning here; take a look at it later, and you’ll know. This young man has great potential for the future, and from what I’ve gathered during this ti, he is also a suitable match.”
…
By the Luoshui River.
When Jiang Ning returned ho, he saw Little Dumpling rolling around in the mud.
“Dudu—” Little Dumpling saw Jiang Ning and imdiately stood up from the mud pit.
“Dudu—”
“Hug—”
She opened her arms and toddled toward Jiang Ning.
“Stop!” Jiang Ning quickly stretched out his hand to press down on her head.
“Does Dudu not like Dumpling anymore?” Tears instantly welled up in Little Dumpling’s eyes.
Jiang Ning: “…”
Imdiately,
he let out a soft sigh, picked up Little Dumpling, and walked toward the front yard’s small pond.
This estate’s front yard had small bridges over flowing water, large stones imitating mountains, bamboo rustling…
This was precisely what Jiang Ning had valued before.
He couldn’t afford such a luxurious estate in his previous life, so in this life, he definitely wanted to satisfy his long-held desire.
After buying this luxurious property, he felt an imnse sense of fulfillnt.
With this estate, he now had a ho.
A ho of his own.
As soone from a civilized ancient country in his previous life, ingrained with certain ideological influences,
having one’s own ho was the only way to feel truly secure.
…
Arriving by the small pond.
“No!”
“Don’t!!”
Little Dumpling started flailing in Jiang Ning’s hands.
“I heard from my brother that pigs roll around in mud pits, so they won’t be bitten by mosquitoes. Dumpling is now a little pig and wants to roll in the mud too!!!”
Jiang Ning placed her in the shallow pool, where the water flowed gently in from one side of the pond and out another.
The bottom of the pond was paved with smooth, polished stones.
That’s why the water was extraordinarily clear to the bottom.
After putting Little Dumpling down, Jiang Ning lightly tapped her head.
“You’re not a pig, you’re not a little pig!”
“Ouch!!!” Little Dumpling covered her head with her hands, her face showing an about-to-cry expression, and her mouth pouted high: “I am a little pig!!”
…
Monts later,
Jiang Ning had simply washed away the mud on Little Dumpling’s body and brought her to Liuu Wanwan, who was tinkering in the vegetable garden, before he felt at ease to head towards his own east courtyard.
After Jiang Ning left the vegetable garden, Liuu Wanwan then took out a cucumber from behind her back, a cucumber which was clearly half-eaten.
Crunch—
She bit into it once more, her eyes narrowing slightly in happiness.
…
East courtyard.
When Jiang Ning returned to his room, he saw the wooden box placed on the table.
Upon opening the wooden box, he saw neatly arranged layers of white jade-colored porcelain bottles.
These white jade-colored porcelain bottles were filled with Plant Essence, the Plant Essence he had bought from Wanhua Building today.
Jiang Ning then counted them briefly and nodded slightly.
“Not bad!”
“Exactly forty bottles, not one more, not one less.”
“With these forty bottles, there’s no need to go out for the next few days.”
“I can wait smoothly for the establishnt of the Inspection Office.”
“The fact that Tian Buyi made a move against shows that the Cao family’s attitude towards hasn’t changed, they have just switched from overt to covert.”
“But it also makes sense. Now that I’ve begun to stand out, it’s reasonable for a family like the Cao family to prevent my full growth, given the friction between us.”
“Currently, I am no match for the Cao family, whether it’s the Cao family in Luoshui County or Cao Rong who is still in Dongling City, either can pose a fatal threat to . I desperately need the official protection of the Inspection Office.”
Thinking this, Jiang Ning did not regret his earlier decision to show himself.
Indeed, if he chose to act cautiously and kept a low profile, he would attract less jealousy.
But he would also miss out on many benefits.
His actions during this period, having chosen to reveal a part of himself, undoubtedly brought him many advantages.
Being able to have Wang Jin go to such lengths to help him was also because he displayed his value.
Therefore, Jiang Ning did not regret it at all, even though it led to Tian Buyi’s assassination attempt.
Because of those benefits, his growth rate has been extrely fast, and his strength has improved a lot compared to before.
This way of conducting himself has its disadvantages, but it also has its benefits.
In Jiang Ning’s view, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
Moreover, he hasn’t shown all his cards.
In everyone’s eyes, if his combat power is five,
Then his actual strength is above ten.
The difference is the leeway Jiang Ning has left for himself.
Always keeping sothing in reserve is the way to avoid being calculated by others.
Just like Tian Buyi’s attack against him.
Unless soone witnessed it first-hand, who could guess that it was he who killed Tian Buyi?
That is the confidence in Jiang Ning’s heart.
The assurance that can protect his life.
In Jiang Ning’s opinion, with his current strength, even if a common Martial Arts Eighth Grade attacked him, the outco would be uncertain.
Even for the top experts among the Martial Arts Eighth Grade, who have the strength of three thousand jin and can easily display tens of thousands of jin of explosive power, it would be nearly impossible to kill him.
Especially when he is by the water, let alone Martial Arts Eighth Grade.
Once he enters the water, he’s like a fish entering the sea; even Martial Arts Seventh Grade and Sixth Rank wouldn’t be able to do anything to him.
It’s also because of this confidence that Jiang Ning dared to reveal part of his strength in facing Xiao Peng’s sudden sneak attack today, to gain more substantial benefits and attention from those influential figures.
He knew that as long as he displayed his strength, showed his value,
Many would be willing to show goodwill towards him and invest in him, to reap returns in the future.
This way of acting works in any world.
Not to ntion that in this world, where power resides within oneself, the transformation of personal strength brings greater status and influence.
Thus, the returns from such investnts would be greater.
Just like Yang Kai’s attitude towards him at the Weapon Forging Shop, and the spiritual weapon in his hand.
Without the prior display, how could he have chanced upon an Ancient spiritual weapon?
Looking at the spiritual weapon in his hand, a smile couldn’t help but spread across Jiang Ning’s face, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Blood bonding ritual, blood refinent.
Thinking of the eight words he received in the Weapon Forging Shop’s underground weapon chamber,
Jiang Ning ntally mused, “Let’s give it a try!”
With his mind made up,
He closed the wooden box and picked up the knife, then walked towards the outside of the house.
