Chapter 1642: Chapter 23: Seventeen Years
“Elders are often like this, they’ve experienced too much, and have spent most of their lives in this way, so they’re actually even more stubborn.”
The tall Li Fengyao walked through the gardens of the Marquis Mansion, overshadowing all the flowers. Her usually cold and distant voice was sowhat more gentle towards Jiang Wang: “They don’t want you to make the sa mistakes they did, nor do they want you to fall into the pits they’ve fallen into. The beauties they’ve seen, they hope you can have; they stubbornly believe that with their life experiences, they can build everything for you. But the world is changing, and everyone’s life is different… You don’t need to care too much.”
“Ah, I won’t.”
In front of Li Fengyao, Jiang Wang felt a bit awkward, not knowing what to say.
For him, Li Fengyao’s image was initially established from the descriptions of Li Longchuan and Xu Xiangqian. These two were made to obey her completely, and seeing Li Fengyao was like a mouse seeing a cat. As their close friend, Jiang Wang naturally felt inferior to Li Fengyao.
Every ti he saw her, he was always respectful and cautious.
Although Li Fengyao didn’t treat him as harshly as rumored, she didn’t even give him a cold shoulder…
Compared to Jiang’s Marquis, Li Fengyao herself was quite poised, walking and saying: “Which star domain did you establish your Outer Building in?”
This topic shifted so suddenly that Jiang Wang was montarily stunned.
“What?” Li Fengyao stopped, looking at him with her frost-cold beautiful eyes: “Am I not worthy to discuss cultivation with the number one genius of Daqi?”
“Absolutely not!” Jiang Wang hastily explained: “I was just thinking about the case… Jade Balance, it’s Jade Balance.”
A sliver of a smile flashed in Li Fengyao’s eyes as she turned her head and continued walking forward: “The green card has its own duties. The matters of the case, you shouldn’t tell .”
“Yes, I’m just thinking about it in my heart, I won’t speak of it.” Jiang Wang was so restrained at this mont, he was like a newly enrolled child, completely understanding Li Longchuan and Xu Xiangqian’s sentints.
This sister… her aura is too strong.
“But we can talk about cultivation. After all, the great path is long, and we can corroborate with each other.” Li Fengyao looked up at the sky, and suddenly saw two brilliant stars resonating with each other.
Since the journey to Seven Stars Valley, Li Fengyao had never shown her strength again.
Only today did Jiang Wang realize that Li Fengyao had quietly established two star towers!
Thinking carefully, it shouldn’t have been surprising.
Back in Seven Stars Valley, when he was at Ascending Dragon Realm, Li Fengyao was already at God’s Inner Mansion Realm. It was said back then, her Divine Skills were not for combat, but beneficial for cultivation.
After the Secret Realm of Seven Stars Valley ended, she had always been cultivating in Binghuang Island and had not returned to Linzi for long.
And this sister Fengyao, was such a formidable person that she dared to change her na in the genealogy of the Shin Li Clan!
Even if she was favored by the elders, how could she change the Li Clan’s rules at such a young age without extraordinary talent?
“The star tower is the foundation for narrating the Dao, the Outer Building Environnt is the realm for narrating the Dao.” But no matter how advanced Li Fengyao’s realm was, when it ca to discussing cultivation, Jiang Wang imdiately felt much more composed.
Towards ‘sister’ he was awkward and anxious, but towards ‘fellow Daoist’ he spoke pleasingly: “It’s nothing more than a summary of past life’s knowledge, even if it’s sowhat superficial, it must get close to truth, as truth is the foundation of seeking the Dao. Taking Jade Balance for example, I’ve always been pondering on what kind of ‘Dao’ can stand proudly in the universe, firmly in all directions, where I intend to go, what I seek…”
Li Fengyao obviously didn’t expect him to really talk about cultivation, but she listened earnestly. Only then did she say: “Speaking of the Outer Building Environnt, my father, who commands nine divisions of the Wind Pursuit Army, was deeply impressed by a captain in the army nad Gu Xing, who is at the Outer Building level.”
Jiang Wang also didn’t understand why Li Fengyao suddenly brought up a captain from the Wind Pursuit Army, but he still made a posture of listening attentively: “Is this person very strong?”
Li Fengyao gave him a glance: “About not as strong as you are now. But this person… a long ti ago, probably in the Dao Calendar 3920 year, resigned from the army and went out to sea for many years. Now he is the Island Master of Hegemon Island.”
“Was this person important in the Wind Pursuit Army?” Jiang Wang asked.
“If he were important, how could he have left? How could the Wind Pursuit have let him go?” Li Fengyao said blandly: “I just happened to think of him today… Isn’t it strange? He had an acquaintance, I don’t know if they were friends, but they knew each other. His surna is Du, given na Mingfang, an arrest officer in Beiyaduwei, also at the Outer Building level. This arrest officer, in the process of capturing a suspect at the Ascending Dragon level, actually perished together with the suspect.”
Jiang Wang was silent for a mont, then said: “It is quite strange.”
Only then did he realize.
Dao Calendar 3920 was the 38th year of Yuan Feng!
Li Fengyao wasn’t discussing cultivation at the Outer Building level but was giving him clues to that case from back then!
“Alright. We’ve wandered enough, we can all report back now.” Li Fengyao rarely smiled.
Such an unparalleled beauty, with just a slight smile, seed to dispel the entire winter’s cold. Even the winter month beca bright because of it.
Even though Jiang Wang’s mind was already engulfed in the turmoil of the case, he was montarily lost in her gentle smile.
“Let’s head back.” she said.
“Eh, okay.” Jiang Wang obediently responded.
“Then I won’t see you off.” Li Fengyao stopped: “Grandmother likes you very much, make sure to visit her more often.”
“Alright.” Jiang Wang said softly: “Sister Feng Yao.”
Then he turned around, stepping along the flower path, leaving the deeply secluded Marquis Mansion of Crushing City.
