Three days later.
Qinghe Marquis Mansion.
"The Third Madam is back!!"
A loud voice instantly shattered the tranquility of the Qinghe Marquis Mansion.
"Qiuyue is back?" In the Ming Hall, a stern-faced man suddenly looked in surprise toward the direction of the front yard.
Soon after.
The news of the Third Madam’s return spread rapidly like wildfire in Dongling City.
The death of the Young Master was not a secret in Dongling City.
Moreover, the Young Master He Jinyun was already extrely well-known in Dongling City in his early years.
The title of Innate Divine Strength made that Young Master already quite famous.
Now the occurrence of this event had already made many people secretly pay attention.
So much so that the news of Xiao Qiuyue’s return spread without restraint.
At noon.
Xiao Qiuyue slowly walked out of the Qinghe Marquis Mansion.
Behind her, the Qinghe Marquis watched her leave with a faint expression.
"Master, shouldn’t you stop her?"
"Let her go! Xiao Qiushui made her return, she must have her reasons! Zhao Yulong wants to drop this matter, I can temporarily let it go, but how could she let it go! I have many sons, but she only has that one son, ten months of pregnancy, she watched him grow up bit by bit!"
Hearing these words from his master, the old butler behind him fell silent.
He knew that his master had not actually let it go.
But there was no evidence for this case, only speculation.
And the main suspect was now a favorite in the Inspection Office, enjoying Zhao Yulong’s favor.
Furthermore, the current power of the Inspection Office was formidable and not to be provoked.
So his master could only choose to swallow his anger.
"I wonder what the Third Madam plans to do!" The old butler murmured as he watched Xiao Qiuyue’s figure disappear.
The Qinghe Marquis also cast a faint glance, then withdrew his gaze.
"Let’s go, let’s return! Close the mansion!"
"Yes, Master!!"
...
On the other side.
The Martial Arts Garden.
The Book Collection Building.
Slam—
Jiang Ning closed a thick book.
A panel visible only to him floated before his eyes.
[Skill]: Reading and Writing (Eight tis broken limit 9000/9000) (Traits: Unforgettable, Extraordinary Five Senses, Divine Thought Agility, Outstanding Comprehension, Heavenly Eye (First Breakthrough), Sixth Sense Transcendent, Unity of Knowledge and Action)
"It’s finally full!" He exhaled softly, feeling a sense of relief.
Days of reading had left him sowhat ntally fatigued.
But the gains were significant, giving him new insights and understanding of the world’s ancient and modern transformations.
He also realized that this world was not so simple.
Just like the ancient myths of his previous life, this world’s ancient myths also had many legends.
There were many records.
Even in so aspects, there were so similarities.
If it were in his previous life, he would have just passed over such legends.
But in this life and in this world, it was different.
He had personally experienced Soul Ergence.
He had witnessed Yin God roaming at night.
The Martial Saint’s millennium lifespan, alive in the present age.
With all this, coupled with the marvels he had personally seen crossing, how could he easily dismiss those legends?
Then his gaze swept across the entire place.
He imdiately withdrew his gaze.
"Forget it, stop reading! I’ve read almost all the necessary books, and filled up the necessary basic knowledge! It’s also ti to quickly enhance my strength!"
After making a decision, he returned the book in his hand to its original place.
Monts later, he walked out of the Book Collection Building.
He then headed toward the Alchemy Hall.
...
At the mansion gate.
By the afternoon, the sunlight had grown less intense.
"Madam, if you’re waiting for my Young Master, why not co inside to wait? It’s windy here!"
Lv Yi said, looking at the woman in front of her, who, although haggard, still had a hint of nobility.
"There’s no need, I’ll wait here for him, wait for him to co back!" Xiao Qiuyue said, her expression calm.
"My Young Master usually returns ho quite late!"
"Then I’ll wait for him until late!" Xiao Qiuyue replied again.
Seeing the woman’s stubbornness, Lv Yi could only show a look of helplessness.
At this mont.
A figure suddenly appeared at the end of the road.
"It’s the Young Master!!" Lv Yi’s eyes instantly shone with happiness.
"Is that Jiang Ning?" Xiao Qiuyue murmured as she looked at the distantly approaching Jiang Ning, who seed to be arriving swiftly, yet leisurely.
On the other side.
Jiang Ning’s heart tightened slightly.
There’s an ambush!!
Then his gaze fell on Xiao Qiuyue.
"It’s her?!!"
Noting the three-to-four-point resemblance in her features to the portrait of Xiao Qiushui, he instantly recognized her identity.
The mother of He Jinyun, a lady of the Qinghe Marquis Mansion, and Xiao Qiushui’s younger sister, Xiao Qiuyue.
"Considering the timing, it indeed matches!!"
At this mont, he recalled the ssage he had received from Xiao Ei a few days ago.
"There are two people lurking, judging by their aura, they should not have entered the Fifth Grade yet!"
Jiang Ning’s mind cald, and he stopped worrying.
Upon reaching Fifth Grade Internal Strength, his breathing had undergone a very noticeable change.
Due to the refinent of his organs, the enhancent of his bodily functions, each breath, and heartbeat were entirely different from before.
The breathing beca slow and elongated, and the heart’s beating frequency was much lower.
And those two hidden individuals clearly had not achieved this.
He continued forward toward the front gate without altering his pace.
A few monts later.
Jiang Ning stopped walking.
Xiao Qiuyue was the first to speak: "Commander Jiang?"
"It’s !" Jiang Ning replied calmly.
"eting you isn’t easy!!" Xiao Qiuyue’s eyes revealed a trace of sentint, her expression calm and without any hint of hatred.
At this mont.
Whoosh—
Two sharp sounds pierced from the left and right, as two figures suddenly appeared, attacking Jiang Ning from both sides.
"So weak!!"
With a glance, Jiang Ning saw the two individuals on his left and right moving as though in slow motion, posing no threat whatsoever.
Forget it!
Keep it simple!
With the thought in mind, he raised his hand and pointed twice in the air.
