Chapter 140: Watch and Talk
Yu Province, Hua Family’s old house.
Hua Xiaomei grabbed a person’s head with his hand. The person’s True Qi, which he had painstakingly cultivated for many years, surged into Hua Xiaomei’s body continuously, transforming into the True Qi of the 《Eastern Peak Divine Prison Codex》.
As the True Qi surged in, the person’s essence, energy, and spirit also flowed into Hua Xiaomei’s body, making his face slightly flushed, as if he had taken a tonic.
He was indeed taking medicine, a Grand Medicine.
The person he grabbed, whose face was originally well-defined, became sallow. The originally bulging muscles became shriveled. The originally steady breathing became rapid and then abruptly stopped.
With a “thud,” the dead Grand Medicine was released by Hua Xiaomei and fell onto the stone bricks.
“Take it away!” Hua Xiaomei said.
The door creaked open, and the old servant outside swiftly took away the medicinal dregs.
Hua Xiaomei was about to close his eyes and adjust his breath, preparing to continue his attempt to break through to the True Person Realm.
In order to break through to the True Person Realm, he had taken several Grand Medicines in a row, but… he was stuck here.
For this, he even specifically consulted his elder brother, who only said: “Your mind is not pure enough!”
Pure?
Did he have to pretend to be pure?
While he was pondering, Hua Xiaomei heard the old servant knocking on the door.
“Third Young Master!” the old servant said.
Hua Xiaomei was the third oldest. Before Hua Xiaocheng returned to the Hua Family, he was simply called “Young Master.” Now that Hua Xiaocheng had returned, in order to distinguish him from Hua Xiaocheng, the Hua Family’s servants called Hua Xiaomei “Third Young Master.”
“What’s the matter?” Hua Xiaomei asked.
“A message from the Jiang Family by flying bird!”
“Bring it here!” Thinking of Jiang Ning’s sullen face, Hua Xiaomei couldn’t help but feel a headache.
Jiang Ning was the same age as him. She had been strong-willed since childhood and never let go of an argument. After practicing the 《Questioning Heart Hammer》, she became even more ridiculously strong.
From childhood to adulthood, when he fought with Jiang Ning, it was at most a 50/50 split.
Really just a 50/50 split!
Hua Xiaomei took the small letter tube handed over by the old servant, pulled out a slip of paper from it, and saw a few lines of tiny characters written on it.
“Ha? Hahaha~” After reading it, Hua Xiaomei burst into laughter.
Jiang Ning and Xiong Ba were actually captured by the Grand Medicine he had casually planted a few years ago!
How ridiculous!
The last time he saw that Grand Medicine in Mobei, it was only at the See the Truth cultivation level.
A See the Truth cultivation level defeating two Zhoutian martial artists, wasn’t that a joke?
Especially that weirdo Xiong Ba, he was considered a strange one even among the Demon Sect.
When Hua Chonglang taught Xiong Ba martial arts before, he was jealous of Xiong Ba. Until he watched Xiong Ba grow up, becoming increasingly foolish, still watching ant nests at the age of sixteen or seventeen.
He wasn’t jealous at all anymore.
Who the hell would compete with a fool? Wouldn’t that make them a fool too?
However, with Jiang Ning’s personality, she wouldn’t send him a message as a joke.
It meant that this matter was not fake.
So, did the Grand Medicine suddenly mutate, or did Jiang Ning and Xiong Ba suddenly become weaker?
He had to go and see, to find out!
At the Qing Shan Martial Academy, Shi Feizhe was talking to Jiang Ning about “fate, mysterious and wonderful,” which made Jiang Ning so angry that her nose was crooked.
This person in front of her really had a terrible personality!
Damn it, she really wanted to smash his head!
Jiang Ning clenched her fists.
“Heh…” Jiang Ning said, suppressing her anger, “Tell me, what did you come to me for?”
“You and your husband have eaten quite a lot these past two days.” Shi Feizhe said slowly.
“What do you mean?” Jiang Ning asked cautiously.
✿✿✿
“The Qing Shan Martial Academy is in its initial stages and it’s very difficult!” Shi Feizhe said. “Every bite you take means one less bite for me and my students!”
“So, you poisoned the breakfast!”
“That was prepared for the rats in the kitchen!”
“…” Jiang Ning’s anger meter increased by one level. She said furiously, “You also seized our Jiang Family’s estate! I only came to reclaim the manor, but you injured me and poisoned me. This is outrageous!”
Shi Feizhe said calmly, “Please be careful with your wording. It wasn’t me who seized your Jiang Family’s estate, it was the hero Fan Jianqiang who seized your Jiang Family’s estate.”
“That hero Fan Jianqiang, while talking about being a hero, actually does all kinds of sneaky and shameless things, like stealing chickens and dogs, prostituting men and women!” Shi Feizhe thought of Fan Jianqiang impersonating him and even starting some Sacred Heart Cult, and said through gritted teeth.
When I reach the True Person Realm, I will definitely go and smash Fan Jianqiang’s head!
No, I’m going to hang him up high and find someone to humiliate him!
Hearing Shi Feizhe’s gritted teeth, Jiang Ning felt that it didn’t seem like he was pretending. Could it be that he and Fan Jianqiang were not the same person?
Was there really a hero named Fan Jianqiang?
“Just now, someone from Pi Mountain came!” Shi Feizhe calmed himself down and thought about the important matter. He said, “Pi Mountain said that they are willing to be friends with the Qing Shan Martial Academy.”
Jiang Ning understood what “be friends” meant.
“What percentage?” Jiang Ning asked.
“Eighty percent!” Shi Feizhe said. “However, I said that the Qing Shan Martial Academy won’t be making money for the first few years and asked him to give us a few years’ grace. He said he needed to go back and apply for it.”
“I said, then you go back and apply for it. I’ll go ask what percentage the Demon Sect and Longevity Temple offer.”
Hearing Shi Feizhe’s words, Jiang Ning pondered for a moment.
Longevity Temple was a Daoist temple located two or three hundred miles southwest of here, and there were True Person Realm Daoist priests residing there.
True Person Realm Daoist priests, they had all emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Once these two forces intervened, there would inevitably be waves in reclaiming the estate.
The top priority was to kill Shi Feizhe with one blow and take back the Ghostly Manor, then there wouldn’t be so many problems.
The second option was to wait and see, at least keep Shi Feizhe neutral, preventing Pi Mountain and Longevity Temple from intervening. This way, there was still a chance to reclaim the estate.
Otherwise, if two True Person Realm experts fought over one estate and triggered a chain reaction, causing two sects to fight to the death, it wouldn’t be worth it.
In the Jianghu, you have to calculate the costs and benefits carefully.
The reasoning was sound, but… she, Jiang Ning, was angry!
Why should their Jiang Family’s estate be seized, and she still had to coax Shi Feizhe not to side with other families!
Where was the logic in that?
“Miss Jiang has also thought of it, right?” Seeing the veins on Jiang Ning’s forehead throbbing, Shi Feizhe knew she had already figured it out.
“Since people from Pi Mountain have come, I suppose those from Longevity Temple are not far behind. I wonder what Miss Jiang’s response will be?” Shi Feizhe said. “I heard that Hua Xiaocheng is the number one expert of the Mo （Demon） Sect and has unified the Mo Sect.”
“Why don’t you invite Hua Xiaocheng over? Then I will definitely flee in fear!” Shi Feizhe said sarcastically.
How could she possibly invite Hua Xiaocheng? If he came, would this estate still belong to the Jiang Family?
She would also have to owe him a favor and be laughed at by the other three families!
Jiang Ning had never considered this option!
“Let me think about it!” Jiang Ning said, suppressing her anger.
She had to wait for Hua Xiaomei to arrive, and then the three of them would join forces to beat up this ugly bastard in front of her!
Thinking about it meant delaying time.
And Shi Feizhe also needed to delay time.
Hua Xiaomei: The Grand Medicine I planted has mutated.
