Ch 522: How Much Were You Paid?

The next day, Jiang Nanyu was summoned before her Grand Uncle.

To cover up the fact that she had been silenced by the Old Taoist, Jiang Nanyu could only claim that she had been distracted during her meditation practice yesterday, accidentally strained her qi, lost her voice, and would recover in a couple of days.

Zhuge Liuguang originally wanted to check her pulse, but after Jiang Nanyu refused, he didn’t insist and instead brought up the matter of going to the Netherworld Barrier.

Just as Chang Yinzi had said last night, the purpose of the Feather Fan was to follow Jiang Nanyu to the Netherworld Barrier to retrieve its remaining feathers.

It was probably because it sensed that the sword hadn’t followed Jiang Nanyu that the Feather Fan appeared.

“The origin of this Feather Fan probably needs no further explanation. Take it with you when you set off for the Netherworld Barrier,” Zhuge Liuguang said. “To my knowledge, it’s the only thousand-year-old magical artifact that could escape from the Netherworld Barrier. With it to guide you, you can save yourself a lot of unnecessary trouble.”

Jiang Nanyu looked at this tattered Feather Fan, more dilapidated than even Ji Gong’s fan.

“Help me retrieve my feathers, and I’ll owe you a favor,” the Feather Fan spoke.

Actually, even without them saying so, Jiang Nanyu would have certainly taken the Feather Fan, but since the other party had already said so, she certainly wouldn’t refuse out of saintly virtue.

【Okay!】 Jiang Nanyu took out her mobile phone to type, then Zhuge Liuguang relayed it for her, 【but we have to agree on three rules.】

“Three rules?”

【First, you have to listen to me along the way, and also work for me; second, don’t bully my Venerable Ancestor, the Demon-Slaying Sword, that’s my life-bound magical artifact; third…】

Jiang Nanyu paused for a moment, then continued typing: As for the third, I haven’t thought of it yet.

The Feather Fan retorted unconvincedly: “But what if your sword starts trouble, I can’t just not fight back!”

【With me here, how could it dare bully you?】

Jiang Nanyu chuckled.

The Feather Fan muttered: “Who knows if you’ll be biased.”

It’s truly become sentient!

But at least the matter was settled.

Jiang Nanyu thought for a moment and couldn’t help but ask about the whereabouts of the disciples who disappeared from those Sects.

Zhuge Liuguang’s voice was slightly low, saying: “This matter is rather complicated and involves a lot. Your main task now is to go to the Netherworld Barrier and return safely. After you return, I will tell you everything.”

Jiang Nanyu had already sensed something was wrong.

The Old Taoist concealed this from her, Zhuge Liuguang also concealed it from her, and Yin Chenhai had concealed it from her as well when she asked before. There must be some reason she couldn’t know.

【Is it related to the Heavenly Master Sect?】 Jiang Nanyu asked eagerly.

Zhuge Liuguang didn’t answer her question, only saying: “I will send people to escort you to the Netherworld Barrier, but once you reach the border, they will leave. The rest of the journey will depend on you. Don’t trust anyone.”

Since she couldn’t get an answer, Jiang Nanyu didn’t continue to pursue it.

Before setting off, Zhuge Liuguang prepared a lot of self-defense Delicious Food for her, and even the General prepared a separate Backpack filled with many things.

The General was furious: “I am the Mysterious Netherworld Spirit Cat, not a donkey for carrying goods. I absolutely refuse!”

Jiang Nanyu ignored its protest.

Before leaving, the Old Taoist also returned the Demon-Slaying Sword to her.

However, when saying goodbye at the Village Entrance, he stood calmly in the distance.

Jiang Nanyu looked at the Old Taoist suspiciously: “Daoist Master Ma, this is…?”

“I asked Daoist Master Ma to escort you to the Netherworld Barrier. With him along the way, I’m also at ease,” Zhuge Liuguang instructed. “If you encounter any problems, you can ask Daoist Master Ma for advice. He has a good relationship with your Grandmother. Remember not to be impolite.”

Jiang Nanyu pursed her lips, barely suppressing her laughter.

“Then I’ll trouble Daoist Master Ma.”

Chang Yinzi merely hummed softly.

“Uncle, you have to take good care of my Xiao Guai for me! Don’t let it get too fat, otherwise it won’t be able to fit into its hole!” After the Car started, Jiang Nanyu seemed to have remembered something and quickly stuck her head out to shout.

Zhuge Liuguang chuckled: “Don’t worry, Xiao Guai is doing fine at the Old Mansion.”

After setting off, Jiang Nanyu took out her mobile phone to send a Message to the Old Taoist: 【How much money did you take?】

After a long while, the Old Taoist replied: 【I didn’t take any money.】

Jiang Nanyu’s fingers tapped rapidly on the keyboard: 【Whether you took money or not, how could I not know? We’re Grandfather and Granddaughter, yet you’re hiding things from me, that’s really not cool!】

【Get lost, Old Taoist, I’m not dead yet, you’re already scheming for my money?】

Hey.

This is her Master’s style.

She just couldn’t get used to the Old Taoist’s aloof demeanor in Zhuge Village, now it’s more comfortable.

The more fiercely this Old Taoist Priest scolded, the better his health, and the more relieved Jiang Nanyu became.

Because the Master and Disciple weren’t in the same Car, their communication could only be done through mobile phones, and the Feather Fan was also carried by the Old Taoist to prevent it from clashing with the Demon-Slaying Sword and fighting each other.

The Car drove towards Sichuan Province, and shortly after, Jiang Nanyu keenly sensed that several small tails had unknowingly appeared on the road.
