The door was closed by the butler waiting at the entrance.
"Marquis, you..." Jiang Ning looked at Shen Wenyan, who was sitting cross-legged on a ditation mat, his gaze focused.
At this mont, Shen Wenyan appeared haggard, lacking his previous radiant spirit.
His deanor and vitality had changed, making him seem as if he had aged more than ten years in an instant.
Seeing Jiang Ning’s gaze, Shen Wenyan couldn’t help but smile.
"Lord Jiang, how have you been lately? Has your physical weakness improved?"
"Thank you for your concern, Marquis, I am doing well!" Jiang Ning cupped his hands in salute.
"No need for such formalities!" Shen Wenyan waved his hand, his expression warm.
He knew that Jiang Ning had already reached the level of a Third Grade Heavenly Person Master and had caught the attention of that esteed figure, who even entrusted Jiang Ning with the choice of the Blood Exchange Technique of the True Spirit Nine Transformations.
Based on these points alone, he understood that it was only natural for Jiang Ning to surpass him in the future.
So, in front of Jiang Ning, he naturally didn’t put on any airs.
Then, Shen Wenyan slowly stood up, "I heard that Lord Jiang has been reading in the Academy’s Book Collection Building these days?"
"Yes!" Jiang Ning nodded and then explained his reasoning.
"Not bad!" Shen Wenyan nodded imdiately, his expression approving. "Your idea shows a good understanding. To walk far on the path of Martial Arts, one must have their own understanding, one must think critically! If you are illiterate and only bury your head in practicing martial arts, it’s not to say you can’t succeed, but at least your potential will be greatly limited."
After he spoke, he gestured for Jiang Ning and Bai Luoyu to sit first.
Then he picked up the tea from the table.
"Marquis, let !" Jiang Ning took the teapot and said.
Shen Wenyan smiled, not competing with Jiang Ning for it.
While pouring tea, Jiang Ning spoke again, "Marquis, there’s sothing I wonder if I could ask you!"
"Ask!" Shen Wenyan said.
"Marquis, with your strength, as a Second Grade Grandmaster, who could possibly injure you?"
Hearing this, Shen Wenyan couldn’t help but shake his head with a smile.
At this mont, the incense on the table had burned halfway, and amidst the swirling blue smoke, his visage beca sowhat ethereal.
"I knew you would ask that!"
"But you underestimate the world’s strong. There are countless strong individuals in the world, like the schools of fish crossing the river! There’s always a mountain higher than the one before, and naturally, there are many who can surpass !"
"Don’t just look at the surface; there are many strong individuals hidden behind the scenes."
"So it’s not surprising that soone could injure !"
"As for who injured , I don’t know either!"
Hearing Shen Wenyan’s words, Jiang Ning was even more perplexed.
"Marquis, was that person masked?" He asked again.
Shen Wenyan slowly shook his head and spoke, "That person was not masked, nor did they conceal their face!"
As he spoke, a deep confusion flashed in Shen Wenyan’s eyes, "But it’s strange, I saw that person’s face at the ti and rember their appearance, yet when I think back on it, I can’t recall what they looked like at all!"
"The mories in my mind are like seeing flowers in the fog, unusually blurred."
"That person is not simple!!" Shen Wenyan exclaid in admiration.
At this mont, Bai Luoyu suddenly spoke.
"Marquis, how should we handle the Great Demon White Chi?"
Shen Wenyan glanced at Bai Luoyu, then quickly instructed, "You two don’t get involved; there’s soone behind the Great Demon White Chi!"
"I was attacked probably because if that person hadn’t intervened, White Chi would have died at my hands."
"With your strength, acting rashly would only bring great disaster upon you."
"Especially you, Lord Jiang!" Shen Wenyan’s gaze fell on Jiang Ning.
"I understand!" Jiang Ning said.
"Your future is vast; don’t take such risks!" Shen Wenyan advised again.
"Yes!" Jiang Ning responded.
He also knew Shen Wenyan was right.
Even with Shen Wenyan’s Second Grade Grandmaster strength, he was seriously injured.
Though his current strength was formidable, it was no match for Shen Wenyan.
From Ye Zhengqi and Li Sixiang’s brief encounter, with Ye Zhengqi being completely overpowered, he knew the strength of a Second Grade Grandmaster surpassed that of a Heavenly Person Master by far.
He had only completed one Blood Exchange and had yet to fully consolidate it.
