Free Web NovelChapter 985: Chapter 231 Both are Green Cards
Jiang Wang was leaning against the left side of the boat cabin while Lin Youxie sat opposite him.
Fan Qingqing was nestled in the corner, and an old man was half-crouching next to her, pressing one hand on her shoulder.
Pat, pat, pat.
It was unclear what time it was now, but it was raining outside.
The rain fiercely pelted the roof of the cabin. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Lin Youxie’s voice was very soft, as if he was directly whispering into ears, clearly not wanting to cause too much commotion. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Jiang Wang snapped out of cultivating and quickly grasped the situation.
Although he had been cultivating the "Dream Order," he hadn’t completely dropped his guard. If Fan Qingqing made any slight move, he would have been able to react.
Thus, the old man’s control over Fan Qingqing happened in an instant.
Jiang Wang did not respond to Lin Youxie immediately, seemingly indifferent to everything around him. He slightly tilted his ear, listened to the rain for a few moments, and then raised his voice, "Big Brother Li, the rain is heavy outside, come in and take shelter!"
Li Yin’s voice timely responded from outside, "There’s no need, young master. What’s this little rain to me?"
For cultivators, indeed, they did not need to avoid wind and rain.
Jiang Wang was actually just trying to confirm Li Yin’s status; if something had happened to him, he genuinely did not know how he would explain it to Li Longchuan.
After receiving Li Yin’s response, Jiang accordingly performed a Seal Technique to isolate the sounds within the cabin. There was no need to involve Li Yin in what was to follow.
This sound-proofing secret technique, which he had just obtained from his cultivation, was not yet as proficient as Fan Qingqing’s, but it was serviceable.
Releasing his fingers, Jiang Wang continued to sit in a relaxed posture, still ignoring Lin Youxie, and instead half-turned towards the grey-haired old man with a look neither sad nor joyous in his eyes, "She is my subordinate and has not violated Qi’s Law. Please release her."
His voice was very calm, containing no threats or temper.
But it was very serious.
Unexpectedly, the old man was very amicable and genuinely let go, chuckling, "My apologies, Arrest Officer Jiang."
Fan Qingqing felt relieved and subconsciously moved closer to Jiang Wang’s side. She knew too well the terror of this old man, so even though he hadn’t harmed her, she dared not move at all.
Now seeing how respectfully the old man treated Jiang Wang, she realized more clearly the significance Jiang Wang held in Qi Country.
Suppressing the cultivators of the same realm from Diao Hai Building, even the Godly cultivators didn’t want to offend him lightly!
Lin Youxie timely introduced from across, "This is the once-famous arrest officer Wu Lie, our esteemed and respected elder."
However, Jiang Wang did not greet this famous divine arrest officer. As someone who had joined the Blue Badge recently, he truly did not know of Wu Lie.
He just turned his head back and looked at Lin Youxie, asking rather impolitely, "Are you still monitoring me?"
It wasn’t that he lacked respect or manners toward his senior.
Rather, these two had shown up uninvited, barged into his cabin, and subdued his subordinate, thus being disrespectful first.
Even a clay figurine has a measure of anger, and Jiang Wang was never made of clay.
Representing Qi Country’s future as a high-profile figure of the Inner Mansion Realm, he brought honor to Qi Country in foreign lands. The battle at the End of the World Platform, how much prestige did that earn, allowing Qi Ting to reap the benefits without moving?
Being part of the same Qi Country system, a retired Godly cultivator wasn’t necessarily of higher status than him—not in the current era. This significance referred to their respective values within the Qi Country system.
He was fully entitled to express his discontent.
Especially dissatisfied with Lin Youxie’s lingering presence like an ominous shadow.
He remembered that the last time the two parties had supposedly reached a consensus, yet this time, Lin Youxie had inexplicably shown up uninvited.
Lin Youxie quickly said, "It wasn’t surveillance, just a mark I left earlier by chance. If it bothers you, I’ll retract it now and apologize."
"There’s no need," Jiang Wang replied coldly. "’Thought Dust,’ right?"
In the next moment, above the Five Mansions Sea, the sun, moon, and stars appeared simultaneously, and the Light of Divine Power illuminated the Five Mansions Sea. Three thousand Soul Stealth Snakes shot out and swiftly slithered through his entire body in a brief moment.
Found it!
On his left heel, there was a mark that differed from his own body; a powerful force of Divine Soul Strength swept over it directly, crushing it!
Lin Youxie’s eyes widened in disbelief!
It was her family’s treasured secret technique, the first time it had ever been broken by a cultivator below the Godly level, and in such a reckless, direct manner. Soul Cleansing!
"Never forget, as if tied to the dust," was an exclusive secret technique of the legendary arrest officer Lin Kuang, a sophisticated use of Divine Soul Strength.
Previously, Jiang Wang had no solution for it.
However, since returning from the Lost World, his Divine Soul Strength had increased, and he had personally seen Wang Ao shatter the gaze of the Blood King. He had gained a somewhat superficial understanding of this level of power manipulation. Now with the opening of his third Inner Mansion and great advancement in his cultivation, the newly acquired Divine Incompleteness Wind, combined with the Killing Life Nails, possessed the ruthless power to annihilate both body and soul.
Combining all of these, he had essentially used the powerful Divine Soul Strength to "cleanse" his entire body, and thus discovered the "dust" attached by Lin Youxie.
Lin Youxie was obviously shocked beyond words, and Wu Lie couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.
He was more aware of the power of the Thought Dust technique. Jiang Wang’s response, although successful in removing the Thought Dust, lacked finesse. If Lin Youxie were slightly stronger, possessing an Inner Mansion Realm, Jiang Wang’s method might not even have detected the Thought Dust.
Nevertheless, he had to admit that Jiang Wang, still within the Inner Mansion Realm, could afford to use Divine Soul Strength so extravagantly. This nearly meant... his potential to achieve Godly status far exceeded that of ordinary people!
"Arrest Officer Jiang, I apologize to you again."
Wu Lie didn’t speak, but Lin Youxie came back to her senses, genuinely bowing her head and saying, "This uninvited visit truly had a reason. Senior Wu Lie was injured while pursuing a villain, and we are currently avoiding an assassination attempt. Our presumptuous boarding was to seek refuge under your reputation. Being both holders of the Blue Badge, I hope you won’t leave us in a dire situation."
Injured in the pursuit of a villain? Although it wasn’t apparent, Lin Youxie had no need to lie.
Was the battle on Youxia Island ultimately lost to Yin Guan and several Yamas working together?
Like Fan Qingqing, now being hunted by Hell Has No Door?
What, is this place specifically meant to shelter those targeted for assassination by Hell Has No Door? Do I specifically rescue people from Hell Has No Door?
As various thoughts crossed his mind, Jiang Wang’s voice remained cold, "I have warned you, Captain Lin. We have no conflicts, and while I abide by the laws and also hold a Blue Badge, you persist in targeting me. Repeatedly questioning and investigating, applying your secret techniques meant for criminals to me, I don’t know the meaning of this. Am I, Jiang Someone, perceived as vulnerable to bullying due to my repeated tolerance?"
"I understand." Lin Youxie steadied herself with her hands on her knees, bowing again to express her apology, "I have intruded."
She didn’t say anything like ’I’ll leave, please let Elder Wu stay on the ship’ to morally bind him. Hence, this bow of apology seemed somewhat sincere.
Wu Lie was carefree, just chuckling, "Let’s go, girl."
With that, he reached out to pull Lin Youxie.
"This half of the cabin is yours to use."
Before they left the cabin, Jiang Wang waved his hand in the air and said softly, "In consideration of us both holding the Blue Badge."
