Jiang Deng frowned slightly.
The words Elder Zhang said before leaving clearly showed that he wasn't going to let Zhan Ji have an easy time. Perhaps these people would be fully motivated to do something bad to help Zhan Ji take over Spirit Beast Peak...
It seems that Zhan Ji becoming the peak master does not mean the end of the challenge, but the beginning of another challenge.
Retracting his gaze, Jiang Deng looked back at Zhan Ji, "I'm afraid the original disciples of Spirit Beast Peak won't listen to you. Do you need my help?"
Zhan Ji shook her head, her face showing no sign of frustration. Instead, she looked confident. "Don't worry, I've been at Spirit Beast Peak for three years. I'm familiar with the elders and managers there. It won't be long before I have complete control."
Jiang Deng nodded. Zhan Ji was smart and clever, not the type to brag. Since she said she could do it, there would be no problem.
"By the way," Jiang Deng asked Zhan Ji again, "Are you really not going to change your name?"
Ji was originally a surname, a very serious character.
But later generations gave it too many meanings that it should not have, especially the names of women who came from brothels mostly contained this word.
If Zhan Ji didn't change her name, people would inevitably try to find out about her past once her name became known.
Zhan Ji understood Jiang Deng’s worries. After thinking for a moment, she shook her head.
"I'm different from Feng Qing. Feng Qing believes that a name represents the meaning that parents have for their children. Her father, the Emperor, and her mother, the Empress, clearly had the ability to give her a good name with a meaning, but they simply named her according to her birth order. Therefore, Feng Qing hated her own name and chose a new one."
"My situation is different. My mother was born in a brothel. She had no surname at birth, and my biological father is unknown. Even the character Zhan in Zhan Ji was given to me by my mother after the surname of a patron she liked. Later, when I became the top prostitute in our building, I was given the character Ji, and thus the name Zhan Ji was born."
"I don't want to change my name because I have no other name to change. Even if my name and my past get out, what does it matter? Those who mock me will still mock me no matter what name I change to. I never care what they think of me. What matters to me is if my story gets spread and inspires women who are still struggling? Perhaps, like me, they will find a new life!"
"It's worth it if I can use my non-existent reputation to help more people wake up."
After listening to Zhan Ji's calm explanation, Jiang Deng admired her from the bottom of his heart.
Perhaps Zhan Ji and Feng Qing have completely different personalities, but they both possess a rebellious and unyielding spirit. I believe they can lead more women to climb out of the pit of despair, find their own path, and keep going...
Because she had to take over the entire Lingshou Peak, many matters were waiting for Zhan Ji to deal with, so Zhan Ji did not talk to Jiang Deng for too long before they separated.
With nothing to do, Jiang Deng had to shift his attention to Baili Chengfeng.
The Ye Guchen who suddenly appeared must not be the Ye Guchen she killed, and the person she killed, she was very sure was Murong Feiran’s direct disciple Ye Guchen.
Then the identity of this 'Night Envoy' is very interesting...
Is he Ye Guchen's twin brother? Or is he the man in white she saw at the bottom of the cliff that day?
Got it!
Jiang Deng suddenly had an idea and secretly hid outside the hall, waiting for Baili Chengfeng to come out, and then he went forward to test him.
——
Inside the main hall.
Facing Baili Chengfeng's question, Su Heng patiently explained, "Her name is Jiang Deng, and she is the head of Cangfeng, our Taichu Sword Sect."
Ginger lantern?
This woman is also called Jiang Deng, the same name as Venerable Jiang Deng. Could she be the reincarnation of Venerable Jiang Deng in the Feiran Spirit Realm?
Baili Chengfeng suppressed his suspicions and continued, "But I see she's only at the Foundation Establishment stage. How can she become the Peak Master of your sect?"
Su Heng was speechless. What could he say? He couldn't say that this was the arrangement of the ancestor, right?
"What else could it be!"
Peak Master Wu Cheng added fuel to the fire, "Jiang Deng was our Taichu Sword Sect's Junior Master's wife in the mortal world. Upon learning that he had a destiny with immortality, she shamelessly followed him here. He decided to divorce her so he could focus on his cultivation, but she took advantage of the situation and demanded an entire sacred peak before she was willing to part with him. She's truly shameless!"
Jiang Roushui touched her nose and smiled, "Hmm... not much different from what Brother Wu said."
Yan Zhen frowned. The facts he believed seemed to be different from those said by his senior brothers, but considering that there was no need to make things difficult for his senior brothers just for the sake of Jiang Deng, whom he was not familiar with, he remained silent.
"Is Jiang Deng married?" Baili Chengfeng's face changed.
He couldn't help but think of what Jiang Deng said to him when they were at the bottom of the cliff.
They said they wanted to take him home as a concubine. He was wondering why it was a concubine. Did it mean that Jiang Deng already had Lin Jun as his wife?
Somehow, Baili Chengfeng felt a sour feeling in his heart.
Maybe it was because Jiang Deng was the first woman he had ever had close contact with. She was his only one, but she was not his only one...
Thinking of this, Baili Chengfeng didn't want to stay here any longer. After listening to everyone talking bad about Jiang Deng, he stood up and left the hall, leaving everyone with dazed faces.
Why is this Night Envoy so curious about Jiang Deng?
Did he want to go back to Ling Palace and tell tales to his master, and then get rid of the unruly Jiang Deng?
Su Heng frowned slightly in worry, but Wu Cheng raised his eyebrows proudly.
——
As Baili Chengfeng walked out of the hall, someone suddenly bumped into his arms, and then a malicious female voice sounded in his ears.
"Oh, what should I do? You bumped into me, shouldn't you compensate me?"
Baili Chengfeng lowered his head and saw Jiang Deng's familiar face.
No see for a month.
The girl in his arms has lost her immaturity and fragility. Her eyes are full of confidence and pride, which blend together in a way that is so unique that it makes people unable to look away.
“…”
While Baili Chengfeng was distracted, Jiang Deng took the opportunity to sniff the other's clothes. A clear and clean smell rushed into his nose, refreshing his heart.
Hmm... this smell seems a little familiar, as if I have smelled it somewhere.
However, before Jiang Deng could figure it out, Baili Chengfeng suddenly pushed him away. He said in shame and anger, "Men and women shouldn't touch each other."
After saying that, Baili Chengfeng no longer looked at Jiang Deng and simply stepped into the air and left.
Venerable Jiang Deng has always been noble and aloof, how could he be this rogue before him? He really thought too much!
The two ginger lanterns have nothing to do with each other!
"Ah, this?"
Jiang Deng was stunned as he watched Tianbian Baili Chengfeng leave angrily.
Uh...could she be mistaken for a hooligan?
