Capítulo 1909: Chapter 126: Loving You More Than Being Number One in the World (Part 2)
“I used to think being the best in the world was the most important.”
“Later, I thought adding glory to the Zuo Family was the most important.”
“But just now… just now she kissed my cheek. My mind went blank, and I couldn’t think of anything, couldn’t rember anything. Then suddenly I felt…”
Zuo Guangshu, a bit shy but very earnest, said, “Those are all important, but none of them are the most important.”
He looked at Jiang Wang: “Being the best in the world, and liking Qu Shunhua, is the most important!”
Jiang Wang sighed inwardly.
He felt lonely.
On the path to invincibility, there’s one less exceptionally talented pursuer.
A true master cannot hold two things in their heart at the sa ti.
Xiao Guangshu, you’re so confused!
Beauty, oh beauty, Saint Water, oh Saint Water.
So comforting, comforting…
Thunk!
A knuckle bump landed on Zuo Guangshu’s forehead.
Lord Jiang finally couldn’t help but shout, “What are you telling ?? Am I Qu Shunhua!? Hold it in, go tell Qu Shunhua yourself later!”
Zuo Guangshu rubbed his forehead, confused about what he said wrong, and retreated sullenly.
But as he rubbed, his hand slid to his face, rembering it was the place Qu Shunhua had kissed, and he smiled again…
The carriage returned to silence, while outside the carriage the noise continued.
Jiang Wang sat upright, seizing every gap to cultivate. But a slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
Being the best in the world is not as good as being the best in the world and liking Qu Shunhua.
How wonderful.
…
…
When the carriage returned to the Huai Nation Governnt House, it was stopped by the gatekeeper.
“Young Master Jiang.” The gatekeeper respectfully said, “A person ca looking for you this morning, saying they have sothing that must be delivered to you personally. Since you weren’t ho, I had him wait in the front hall. Do you want to see him?”
Jiang Wang and Zuo Guangshu exchanged a glance, then got off the carriage: “Please lead the way, let’s go see.”
The Huai Nation Governnt House has three front halls, corresponding to different levels of visitors.
From high to low, they are Xuewu, Yuzhu, and Songtao.
For soone like this mysterious visitor who wouldn’t reveal anything, they have to wait in the Songtao hall. If it wasn’t for involvent with Jiang Wang, he wouldn’t even be able to step through the gate.
In front of the Songtao hall, there were indeed two old pine trees, one on each side, growing as if they were carved from the sa mold. This wasn’t a result of pruning; those who know the trade would know how much effort it takes behind the scenes.
The mysterious visitor was cloaked in a hooded robe, sitting quietly in a corner of the hall, seeming quite aloof.
No one forced him to remove his disguise.
After all, the Huai Nation Governnt House has the confidence to face anyone.
However, near the Songtao hall, there were certainly masters watching over.
“Are you Jiang Wang?” Seeing Jiang Wang and Zuo Guangshu enter side by side, the person stood up and asked.
This person was of dium height, voice low, and did not seem to be a strong presence.
Jiang Wang looked at him: “Who are you?”
The person did not answer, simply took out a package from the robe, placed it on the tea table beside him, unwrapped it layer by layer, revealing an ordinary-looking wooden box at last.
Opening the wooden box, the Bijou Jade Bi nad “Beihui Wind” was inside.
He stepped back two steps, keeping a certain distance, then said, “The one who sent this said it must be delivered to you personally to count. Please verify its authenticity.”
The uniqueness of the Bijou Jade Bi is entirely dependent on the Mountain and Sea Realm, but it can’t be faked.
Jiang Wang took the Jade Bi, played with it a bit, and asked, “Where is he?”
The robed person replied, “He only instructed to deliver this to you; he didn’t say anything else. Additionally…”
He lifted his head, revealing a pale, unhealthy face under the hood: “To answer your initial question, I am from the Church of Lifeless. Currently, I am the Ground Solitary ssenger among the Seventy-two Earthly Fiends…”
Jiang Wang raised his sword-like eyebrows slightly.
The Church of Lifeless… was the cult founded by the forr Bone ssenger Zhang Linchuan.
He wasn’t particularly afraid of the person in front of him; no matter how terrifying Zhang Linchuan was, he wouldn’t dare cause trouble at the Huai Nation Governnt House now.
But why would Wang Changji send the Bijou Jade Bi and let soone from the Church of Lifeless deliver it?
Before he could ask, the robed person continued, “That man annihilated all bases of the Church of Lifeless in the Reef Kingdom and sent to deliver this to you… My task is complete.”
As he said this, the person fell to the ground, lifeless, just like that.
The whole process was incredibly straightforward.
It was as if he traveled thousands of miles to Chuguo just to deliver this Jade Bi to Jiang Wang’s hands… and then died.
However, Jiang Wang could understand this was a conflict between Wang Changji and Zhang Linchuan. The corpse in front of him was just one of the many concluded battlefields.
And there would be many such battlefields. There would be many more such fights.
Until… they stand face to face.
At the mont the body fell, several guards from the Duke of the State’s house entered the Songtao hall imdiately.
“It’s okay,” Jiang Wang said softly, “The man’s dead, take him away for disposal.”
In the Huai Nation Governnt House, there was no one who didn’t know Jiang Wang.
Though the corpse was inexplicable, the guards, without a word, lifted it and left.
After they left, Zuo Guangshu asked, “What’s going on?”
Jiang Wang rotated the Jade Bi and smiled, “Wang Changji is a step ahead of ; he’s already had God Arrives.”
He casually handed the Bijou Jade Bi to Zuo Guangshu: “And the Church of Lifeless is a mutual enemy of ours.”
“Church of Lifeless? What kind of sect is that? Where is their headquarters?” Zuo Guangshu naturally said, “If it’s in the Southern Territory, I’ll lead the troops and help brother annihilate them!”
Jiang Wang chuckled, “How could an evil sect have an honorable headquarters? How dare they?”
He thought inwardly, unless I’m dead.
“These disorderly things are getting more and more,” Zuo Guangshu frowned, then said, “Brother Jiang, whenever you plan to wipe them out, feel free to call on . To be your and Wang Changji’s mutual enemy, even if they’ve taken the wrong path, they must be quite an extraordinary character!”
“That depends on whether you can keep up with the pace,” Jiang Wang did not directly refuse, just glanced at him: “I think you’re quite in danger now; rember, a love nest is a hero’s grave…”
“Not afraid!” Zuo Guangshu laughed cheekily, “Qu Shunhua is also very formidable; we can be tender and cultivate at the sa ti!”
Jiang Wang was montarily speechless.
Zuo Guangshu looked at the Bijou Jade Bi’s poem in his hand, then said, “Your friend showcased themselves in the Mountain and Sea Realm, so our Chu Court will definitely retrieve this Bijou Jade Bi. With it back now, it saves a lot of trouble. But since the Jade Bi directly reached my hand, I have to acknowledge this favor. Brother Jiang, is there anything you want?”
“Don’t be so polite!” He laughed again, “My family can’t keep two Jade Bis, but we can use it to request benefits from the Court! Like tax reductions, troop allocations, armor quotas…”
“Don’t talk about useless things; Brother Jiang doesn’t like to hear them.” Jiang Wang decisively waved his hand, like a knife cutting through water: “Just tell how much it’s worth in Pri Stones!”
When it ca to calculations, Zuo Guangshu indeed showed the astuteness of a notable family’s descendant.
He laughed and said, “A thousand Pri Stones!”
In a blink of an eye, the calculation was done, or perhaps it wasn’t calculated at all.
Jiang Wang also laughed, “A thousand Pri Stones is too much; after all, having this Bijou Jade Bi is as dangerous as holding hot iron, and it will be retrieved sooner or later. I think converting it to 700 Pri Stones is reasonable. Just enough to offset the price of that Kui Bull hide, let’s clear our debts two-way!”
Zuo Guangshu looked at him and said, “How about 800 Pri Stones. Brother, a person like you can’t be caught short of funds. If word gets out, people would think Qi Country is stingy!”
Jiang Wang was so moved, “Little brother, if those people in Qi Country had half of your enlightennt, that’d be great!”
The brotherly affection lingered for several rounds.
Jiang Wang rembered sothing else, asked aloud, “And what about the Elegy Ying Jade Bi? Will the Chu Court send soone to retrieve it too? That person is also a good friend of mine, can you find a way to pass a ssage, tell people not to hurt him?”
Zuo Guangshu hesitated for a mont, probably not convenient to say, but still said, “We won’t recover the Elegy Ying Jade Bi, your friend is fine.”
There seed to be hidden stories within, but Jiang Wang wasn’t too concerned, knowing Zhu Weiwo wasn’t in danger was enough.
“Let’s go.” He patted Zuo Guangshu’s back head, full of fighting spirit: “To cultivate!”
