The powerful ones eager to challenge must have a huge incentive.
And Jiang Wang could only speculate, ever since inheriting the blessing to this day, he has never managed to touch it.
However, he was not anxious. At least now, he could feel the level of strength of those opponents, unlike before when he couldn’t even figure out how he lost.
He is steadily approaching the level of those strong opponents, each step taken with solid footing.
He knows that someday, he will be able to stand there.
Even if right now all his blessed land levels were to be lost, stripped away, he would not be discouraged...
Because he knows, he will win it back.
After earnestly fighting five matches and reviewing them carefully, Jiang Wang was about to exit the Taixu Illusion Realm when he suddenly saw a water-blue paper crane fluttering towards him.
He reached out to catch it and unfolded it.
It was a letter from Zuo Guangshu.
These days he had not talked little with Zuo Guangshu, but lately, this child has been a bit strange, always beating around the bush, chatting one moment about this, another moment about that, making it difficult to follow.
Jiang Wang, however, remained consistent, either asking about Zuo Guangshu’s cultivation or about the details of Flame Flower Burning City, asking how Zuo Guanglie used to perform this skill...
Today’s letter, again, was a bit baffling—
"Has the Golden Feather Feng Xian Flower in Qi Country bloomed?"
Jiang Wang replied: "I only know Feng Xian County."
"I heard it’s very beautiful."
"Really? I’ve never seen it."
A moment later, Zuo Guangshu’s letter came flying back, again inexplicable—
"By the way, is Brother Dugu well these days?"
Jiang Wang replied, "I’m very well."
Zuo Guangshu probably truly had nothing more to talk about and finally replied reluctantly: "Both Jing and Shepherd are massively augmenting forces at the Mu Sheng frontlines. A great battle has become inevitable. In this turbulent world, please take care of yourself, Brother Dugu. I’m doing well in Chuguo too, progressing fast in cultivation... By the way, are you coming to the Mountain and Sea Realm?" fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Jiang Wang thought for a moment, and replied: "I’m in Qi Country, entangled with affairs."
Soon the paper crane returned again—
"It doesn’t matter, come or not as you please."
Jiang Wang sent another reply, but it was like stone sinking into the sea, no response came for a long time.
Perhaps he went to cultivate, this child is always very diligent.
A mature heart like Marquis Jiang’s certainly wouldn’t haggle with children, he shook his head and put the matter behind him, then exited the Taixu Illusion Realm.
What he currently focuses on the most is the Feng Gu case.
The truth Lin Youxie had pursued for many years, the clues Feng Gu revealed with his death, the much-coveted position of Beiyar Commander, the people sneaking around in the morgue, someone sending direct warnings to himself...
Too many factors are interwoven, making this case exceptionally heavy.
It’s not just complex.
It’s like a fishing net laid out for many years, deeply submerged and extraordinarily large. Although most of it remains hidden underwater, everyone knows it entangles too many things.
To pull it up, strength alone won’t suffice.
One careless move, and the person who touches the net will fall underwater.
Just like that carriage driver who had become "untraceable."
Speaking of which, he had specially used the Art of Recall to simulate that carriage driver’s spirit information, but the sense had disappeared.
Perhaps he was already killed, or the trail erased by a strong force... No matter which, such a pawn, clear of wrongdoing after years in Beiyaduwei, specially cast out just to send a signal to Jiang Wang, already verifies the power of the person behind the scenes.
Or perhaps the opponent simply wants to provoke himself instead?
Using such a move, making it impossible for him to ignore?
So many threads, impossible to unravel one by one.
Jiang Wang simply decided not to think about it and steadfastly followed his own path.
Now he participates in the case with supervision responsibilities, and both Zheng Shangming and Lin Youxie, who handle the case, need his cooperation. He’s in a proactive position, with no need to circle around with people in the shadows.
He sat in his room for a while, the night was deeply set.
People from Zheng Shangming came during the night to Jiang Mansion and brought a letter, emphasizing that they would only hand it over upon seeing Jiang Wang.
Housekeeper Xie Ping personally brought the person to Jiang Wang’s courtyard.
This was an ordinary-looking man; he glanced carefully at Jiang Wang a few times before taking out the letter: "The young master said this letter must be opened by the marquis himself, not to pass through other hands."
"Thanks for your trouble." Jiang Wang took the letter.
The man gave only a brief bow, turned and left, without any hesitation.
Xie Ping wanted to see him off, but with a slight inattention, the person had already disappeared.
Zheng Shi had been managing the Beiyar Commander position for many years, not just anyone, so capable people are abundant under him, and these are Zheng Shangming’s resources. Unlike someone Jiang, whose housekeeper was hired with help from Zhongxuan Sheng.
If he himself were to hire people from the streets, who knows what kind of spies might infiltrate the house, it wouldn’t be impossible to have all sorts of foreign eyes and ears.
Generally, those that use local-born helps can truly be considered aristocratic family gates. For generations as servants, clear and reliable.
Like Marquis Jiang, still in the nouveau riche phase.
As he opened the letter, Jiang Wang said: "It’s late, go rest... Oh right, as winter is coming, allocate some Silver, up and down, for everyone to buy a few pieces of winter clothing, be willing to spend a bit, buy those with sufficient materials."
He hadn’t originally thought this far, it was Dugu Xiao’s letter that detailed her work in Green Sheep Town, which included such an expenditure, so he had Xie Ping do it as well.
"Alright!" Xie Ping replied energetically and went down.
