Chapter 151: Oneself
Jiang Ning had a headache from the noise made by a bunch of sword hearts and retreated from her Sea of Consciousness space. She saw Xiong Ba looking at her.
“Wife!” Xiong Ba looked at Jiang Ning, showing a concerned expression for the first time.
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Ning rubbed her brows and asked.
“I’ve already spoken to Academy Head Shi. We can leave. I’ll buy this courtyard and give it to Academy Head Shi as a gift. I’ll just give the Jiang Family another one later.” Xiong Ba said.
“What!” Jiang Ning looked at Xiong Ba in shock.
Xiong Ba was always laid-back wherever he went and rarely made such decisions.
【5555, is this true love? 】
【 This smelly man is trying to corrupt you! 】
【 Kill him! Kill your husband and achieve enlightenment! 】
“Stupid Bear! How dare you make decisions for me!” After the shock, Jiang Ning was furious.
Since she was a nineteen-year-old child bride, no one had ever been able to decide her fate.
“Wife, you’re sick. Let’s go back and recuperate!” Xiong Ba looked at Jiang Ning and said with concern in his tone.
“What sickness! I’m not sick!” Jiang Ning couldn’t stand people talking to her in that tone.
“Then there’s something wrong with that cultivation technique! You can’t continue practicing it!” Xiong Ba continued.
“What’s wrong with it! My biggest problem is not being a True Realm martial artist!” Jiang Ning said.
【 Yes, yes, yes, not being a True Realm martial artist! 】
【 I know he’s just making things up to make me happy! 】
【 Kill him to prove your martial heart! 】
“Shut up!”
Jiang Ning felt like there were many people having a meeting in her head, making her extremely annoyed!
“Wife! Who are you talking to!” Xiong Ba stared at Jiang Ning with wide eyes. Just now, he seemed to hear Jiang Ning say several sentences at the same time.
Several sentences mixed together, making it impossible for him to hear what she was saying.
“Miss Jiang! Young Master Xiong! And Brother Hua, you can leave now!”
Jiang Ning was about to say something when she heard Shi Feizhe’s voice coming from outside the door.
Shi Feizhe was indeed here to send them off. Hua Xiaomei had made a new table and repaired the broken wall.
The table looked decent, but the wall repair was very shoddy! However, the work was done.
The burnt lawn had also been replanted by Jiang Ning!
Yesterday, Xiong Ba suddenly came to him to talk, and the two made a deal.
Shi Feizhe would let them go, and the Demon Sect would no longer cause trouble for this martial arts academy!
As long as he sent these troublesome people away, Qing Shan Martial Academy could finally be peaceful. After that, he could compile the curriculum, compile cultivation techniques, and adapt to more people based on the feedback from this period of teaching.
By next spring, he might be able to recruit a batch of children and cultivate people who could change the Jianghu from scratch.
So, he was in a very good mood now.
He was in a good mood, but naturally, someone was not.
Hua Xiaomei and Jiang Ning walked out of Qing Shan Martial Academy with dark expressions. In the end, they relied on a fool to leave Qing Shan Martial Academy.
It was very ironic.
The three of them walked down the mountain to the small town without saying a word. Servants served them hot soup and fragrant tea, completely different from their do-it-yourself life at Qing Shan Martial Academy.
The lifestyle at Qing Shan Martial Academy seemed isolated from the Jianghu, incompatible with it.
Jiang Ning remained silent all the way. Sitting in the luxurious private room, she recalled her experiences along the way.
From leaving the Jiang family’s old residence, to being frustrated at Qing Shan Martial Academy, to vomiting blood in anger, and finally relying on Xiong Ba to leave Qing Shan Martial Academy.
At this time, a servant from the Jiang family delivered a letter from the Jiang family’s old residence.
It was a letter from Old Madam Jiang.
The content was very simple, telling her not to worry about the Ghostly Manor. The matter had been resolved, and the family’s face still had to be maintained, especially with the Xiong family giving up their interests!
Who knew if Xiong Ba would be the second Hua Chonglang in ten years!
But this letter made Jiang Ning even angrier.
She had never suffered such a loss in her life!
Those who had never suffered a loss could never accept a loss!
【 5555, what a gentle bear! Just give in to him! 】 A sword heart said.
【 Oh, everyone has to suffer losses, there’s no one who doesn’t. Suffering a loss is actually gaining an advantage! 】 A sword heart said sarcastically.
【 Kill, kill, kill, kill Xiong Ba! Kill Shi Feizhai! Kill that old geezer Jiang! Kill everyone in the world! 】 A bloodthirsty sword heart said.
【 Now, she doesn’t even bother to explain, look… 】 A sword heart said with a frown.
【 I told you earlier… 】
【 Oh, you… 】
Countless sword hearts’ voices filled her mind, making her feel extremely irritated!
Especially the one shouting “kill” was the loudest!
Kill, kill, kill, all it knows is killing!
Kill your sister!
Can killing solve the problem!
Why not kill all of you!
Wait…
Jiang Ning suddenly remembered, 《 Sword Heart Clarity 》 was about visualizing a sword mirror, dividing one’s mind into multiple sword hearts, and finally merging the multiple sword hearts into one true self sword heart, reaching the True Realm!
《 Clear Sword Heart 》 was the opposite, visualizing sword hearts and then slaying them, leaving the heart pure and understanding the true self!
Since she couldn’t understand these divided sword hearts and couldn’t merge with them, why not kill all of them!
Wouldn’t she be able to reach the True Realm of understanding her true self then?
Right now, she needed the second half of that secret manual!
【 555, you’re going to kill us! 】
【 Sisters, let’s resist her together, Jiang Ning belongs to us! 】
【 Come kill me! Or be killed by me! 】
【 What’s so good about fighting and killing, why not sit down and talk. 】
【 You have the intention to kill, I probably can’t beat you… 】
As her thoughts changed, the sword hearts became aware of them.
After all, the sword hearts were her, and she was those sword hearts.
What cultivation technique, what’s so difficult about killing! Especially these noisy and useless sword hearts!
She entered her Sea of Consciousness space and saw that the many sword hearts were still doing their own things, not united.
She suddenly understood that she had always had too many distracting thoughts.
She wanted to live comfortably but wasn’t willing to put in the effort. She relied on her talent for martial arts, defeated a bunch of weaklings with 《 Questioning Heart Hammer 》, and became complacent!
She couldn’t see herself clearly!
So, she could only kill!
Lightning gathered in her hand, she wanted to shatter everything from the past!
Only killing!
In the Sea of Consciousness space, she wielded her lightning-charged fists and fought fiercely with a sword heart that was shouting “kill.”
Today, she would become a True Realm martial artist!
Become a true person in the Jianghu!
The self that loved killing, die!
The self that loved gossip, die!
The self that fantasized about her lover, die!
The pretentious and hypocritical self, die!
The crazy and impulsive self, die!
The self that indulged in empty talk, die!
…
All selves, all sword hearts, died under her fists.
Leaving behind a selfish, extremely egotistical self!
Jiang Ning finally recognized herself truly.
She had always been such a person from the beginning!
Outside her private room, Xiong Ba stood silently at the door.
For the past seven or eight days, Jiang Ning had locked herself inside.
He felt Jiang Ning’s aura inside the room continuously rising to its peak, then… soaring to the sky.
Jiang Ning had finally become a True Realm martial artist.
The door creaked open, and a calm Jiang Ning saw the tearful Xiong Ba.
“Xiong Ba! I’ve become a True Realm martial artist, you should be happy for me!” Jiang Ning looked at the crying Xiong Ba and said indifferently.
Xiong Ba didn’t speak. He knew that the wife who used to flick his little thingy, the colorful Jiang Ning in his heart, was gone.
The person in front of him was just an ice-cold True Realm martial artist!
Jiang Ning!
Sigh! Those who had never suffered a loss would never be willing to suffer one. There were such people in life, who wouldn’t accept even the slightest loss.
