Chapter 366 The Birth Dates of Chen Ruolan and Her Father
The appearance of defensive formations and thunder talismans brought a huge shock to the worldview of martial arts practitioners.
After the shock came ecstasy.
If they also had such a magical treasure, wouldn't that mean they would be invincible when fighting against others?
In the event of a deadly battle, it can even easily kill its opponent.
Immediately, everyone sprang into action, wanting to find Jiang Liuyi to buy the Heavenly Thunder Talisman and the method for setting up the defensive array.
Jiang Liuyi had long anticipated this would happen, and when he saw his father and uncle return, he made a hasty retreat.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to pull his sister away.
The two hadn't gone far when they heard a cacophony of voices behind them.
"Second Master Jiang, where did the Second Young Master get the Heavenly Thunder Talisman?"
"Second Master Jiang, I'm willing to pay a high price for the Heavenly Thunder Talisman. Could you please help me ask that expert if they're willing to sell it to me?"
"Second Master Jiang..."
Yu Zhiyi was both amused and exasperated.
Finally back in her own courtyard, before she could say anything, her brother Changtu, who was always unfazed even by the collapse of Mount Tai, let out a sigh of relief.
Noticing his sister's gaze, Jiang Liuyi coughed lightly and changed the subject, asking, "Is it going well?"
He saw the heir of the Marquis of Wu'an and others, but the situation had just turned out differently, and he didn't have time to ask any more questions.
Now that there were no other people around, he felt relieved and asked questions.
"Well, everything went smoothly, but we discovered a potential problem."
Since it concerned the safety of the Martial Alliance, and her brother wasn't impulsive, Yu Zhiyi didn't want to hide anything from him, so she briefly recounted what had happened.
Jiang Liuyi's emotions rose and fell with the story.
Upon hearing that the other party was from a mysterious hidden family, and that the Gao family even had a master that his sister couldn't handle, his expression immediately became serious.
Yu Zhiyi pursed her lips.
Will he blame her for provoking such a troublesome enemy?
Although she wasn't sure if everyone in the Gao family was so calculating, she could still get a glimpse of the situation from this small example.
First, Gao Yaowen attacked her for no reason, and then Gao Wenfeng, in order to avenge his son, set a trap to kill her without distinguishing right from wrong. Moreover, while killing her, he also provided assistance to the Demonic Sect, allowing the Demonic Sect to wipe out the Martial Alliance at the same time.
Such behavior makes it hard not to associate it with a family-based fighting style.
If the entire Gao family consists of such people, then once the secret is exposed, the Martial Alliance will surely face annihilation.
She still remembered how, when the Empress Dowager was possessed by an evil spirit, the Yu family, in order to absolve themselves of their crimes, shifted all the blame onto her and decisively severed ties with her.
If the Jiang family decides to do the same, she won't blame them.
That's human nature, after all.
Suddenly, my wrist was grabbed.
Jiang Liuyi looked at her seriously: "Although you did this secretly, it wasn't without any clues."
"Throughout the entire Great Sheng Empire, no one can rival you in terms of profound and renowned metaphysical abilities."
After all, she was the only one who entered the imperial court as a master of metaphysics.
Moreover, she happened to be away from the capital these days, so anyone who wanted to find out could easily find out her whereabouts.
She returned to the Martial Alliance, and both the Gao family father and son had their accidents near the Martial Alliance.
These things can easily be connected.
Jiang Liuyi's eyes showed a rare hint of anxiety: "The Gao family is clearly not a place where reason prevails. Once they find out that both father and son have been killed by you, they will definitely retaliate ruthlessly."
He frowned deeply: "I've heard that there are many hidden talents and powerful figures on Longhu Mountain. Why don't you stay in the capital and go directly to Longhu Mountain after things are settled here?"
"It is said that the masters on Dragon Shu Mountain are righteous and have a strong sense of justice. If we explain the reason for the matter, I believe they will understand. After all, Gao Jia's style of doing things is no different from that of the Demonic Sect."
Yu Zhiyi looked into his eyes.
All I could see in his eyes was worry, anxiety that his life was also threatened, and resentment at being implicated by her.
Lowering her gaze, she obediently replied, "Don't worry, brother. The Gao family shouldn't come looking for us anytime soon. I'll improve my strength as quickly as possible before they realize something's wrong. If we can stall for a few years, even if they discover the truth, they shouldn't pose too much of a threat."
She has decided that after returning to the capital, she will either take another long leave or simply resign from her position in the Ministry of Justice.
She was going to find her master.
If she were still alone, she wouldn't be afraid of the Gao family's retaliation.
Anyway, she's not the type to join in the fun. She can just find a secluded spot deep in the mountains and forests, and as long as she has enough food and water, she can hide there forever.
But now she has the Jiang family to worry about, and she can't let them, who should have a bright future, become savages like her.
At times like these, the help of one's sect is needed.
I wonder if my master still remembers that she had a disciple in the secular world waiting for her to take her back to the mountain to formally pay respects to her ancestors.
"There's one more thing."
Yu Zhiyi suppressed her chaotic thoughts and said earnestly.
"What?"
***
Chen Ruolan was furious.
More than anything, there's anxiety.
She didn't even bother to treat the injuries on her face, and just paced anxiously around the room.
Ji Guangdai is dead, and the mysterious man has also disappeared without a trace.
Moreover, this happened after luring that little bitch into the trap!
The little bitch came out unharmed, but the mysterious man had vanished without a trace, making it hard for her not to think the worst.
Originally, she sold the information about the little bitch to that mysterious person in the hope that the other party could kill the little bitch.
In the past two days, she has even imagined more than once the devastated expressions on the faces of Jiang Yuchuan and his wife after seeing the little bitch's corpse.
The scene I imagined didn't happen; instead, the little slut appeared unharmed.
What she was worried about wasn't that the mysterious man would be killed, but rather that he might say something he shouldn't have.
She felt as if she had gained an extra breath in her throat, and as long as she didn't get definite news, she couldn't swallow it; it would stay stuck in her throat like a fishbone.
She had no way of finding out the information.
In the past, she could have gone to find Jiang Yuwei herself.
That man seemed cold-hearted, but in fact he was easier to talk to than anyone in the Jiang family. As long as you went along with her, he would keep revealing the information she wanted to know.
But now she's been grounded, and right in front of Jiang Yuwei.
She was quite certain that Jiang Yuwei would develop feelings for her.
Most importantly, she can't get out now.
She is now like a bird with its limbs cut off, seemingly unable to do anything but wait to die in its cage.
"No, I can't just sit here and wait to die!"
at the same time.
Yu Zhiyi also obtained the birth dates and times of Chen Ruolan and her father Chen Tiesheng.
Chen Tiesheng has been dead for many years, and after his death, his elderly mother and wife also passed away one after another.
Chen Ruolan was his only remaining relative.
Since Chen Ruolan had already been exposed to things in the field of metaphysics, it was natural not to ask her about things like birth dates and times.
After much effort, Jiang Yuchuan finally found several martial arts practitioners who had celebrated Chen Tiesheng's birthday.
A complete set of eight characters was pieced together from the words of these people.
Yu Zhiyi stared at the two sets of birth charts in front of her for a moment, then asked in astonishment, "Are you sure Chen Tiesheng really died on the spot while trying to save my grandfather?"
