Chapter 35: Disguise
In the inn, Jian An Ning watched as Lu Fei's face turned red like a ripe tomato.
She was a little confused, but she pulled the man to the bed.
Lu Fei seemed to be in some kind of stress state. When Jian An Ning touched him, he jumped up.
"No, no need," Lu Fei said repeatedly, "I'll just meditate here and practice."
Jane Anning didn't understand, but she respected him very much.
So she lay down on the bed and prepared to fall asleep.
However, perhaps because there was another person in the room, she suddenly found it difficult to sleep.
Messy memories flashed back and forth before her eyes, and she picked and chose, choosing something she could talk about.
"Why did you come to Qingyun Sect from Dongchang?"
Lu Fei calmed down a little, and then answered Jian An Ning: "I don't remember."
Oh, right, Lu Fei lost her memory, Jian An Ning thought.
So he didn't know why he came, nor where he was going. He was cleaner than a completely new soul.
"I know a secret method that can awaken the memory of those who have lost their memory. However, spells like memory will involve the soul. If you want to use it, you need to wait until you have formed a Nascent Soul."
Lu Fei naturally hoped to remember it.
But he had a tiny doubt in his heart: why was it the Nascent Soul stage? At that time, the demon cultivator seemed to be waiting for him to reach the Nascent Soul stage.
However, according to common sense in the world of immortal cultivation, cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage are rare. Even the Qingyun Sect has only ten of them. Even if there is only one Nascent Soul cultivator, families like the Fan family and the Jiang family can dominate a region.
Why do they all believe that he can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage?
Lu Fei didn't know. When Lu Fei wanted to ask, he only heard Jian An Ning's even breathing coming from the direction of the bed.
Seems to be asleep.
Lu Fei had to put aside his doubts for the time being.
The next morning.
Jian Anning and his group went to Jiang Mansion.
Although Jiang Tan said that the Jiang family's inheritance focuses on healing, it is still impossible to obtain the inheritance.
Besides, it is much better to fight after you have recovered than to fight with injuries.
So Jian An Ning still wanted to come to the Jiang family first to find a way to treat her injuries.
Because Jiang Tan didn't want to announce her return to the world, Jiang Zan respected her intention and kept the news of Jiang Tan's return to only a few people who knew the truth.
Among the few people who knew the truth was Jiang Fuzhou, who was in charge of the Jiang family affairs.
He looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, dressed in fine clothes and with a palm-long beard on his chin.
In the past, there were other aristocratic families on Yingzhou Island. In order to destroy each other, they used many vicious means, and the Jiang family was one of the victims.
The victims were Jiang Zan's children, Jiang Fuyue and Jiang Fuzhou.
At that time, the Jiang family was extremely anxious to find a solution, so the young Jiang Tan and Jiang Qing were taken care of by Jiang Zan personally.
Therefore, Jiang Tan and his uncle do not have a deep relationship, and they can be said to be familiar strangers.
Jian Anning got straight to the point and said to Jiang Fuzhou, "Do you know the secret method of forcibly improving your cultivation?"
Jiang Fuzhou said calmly, "I've heard a little bit about it."
"So today I want to ask for the Jiang family's method of repairing the sequelae of the secret method." Jian An Ning expressed his thoughts directly.
Then, Jiang Fuzhou decisively refused: "No, the Jiang family's method is only passed on to the Jiang family."
"It's for your family." Jian An Ning explained further.
"That won't work either," Jiang Fuzhou insisted, adding, "Those who leave Yingzhou Island are not considered members of the Jiang family."
Jane Anning was choked by him and her breathing stopped.
It was Lu Fei who pulled her sleeve to calm her down.
Jiang Tan glanced at Jiang Fuzhou and said to Jian Anning, "Since that's the case, Master, please act according to my wishes."
Jian Anning and her group left Jiang Mansion.
Jiang Fuzhou watched them leave, then walked into the study, turned the mechanism, and opened the secret door in the study.
There was a dark room hidden there, with only a few candlelights providing a little light.
In the dim light, you can see a stone bed in the dark room with a person lying on it.
The man's eyes were closed and he looked like he had been unconscious for a long time.
Coincidentally, the person lying on the bed looked exactly like Jiang Fuzhou.
Of course "Jiang Fuzhou" knew that this was not a coincidence.
Only in this dark room did "Jiang Fuzhou" dare to tear off his disguise and reveal his true appearance.
He was Ye Qingzhou, who had previously left Buyeo and rushed to Yingzhou.
When Ye Qingzhou first arrived, he had originally followed the instructions of the old voice and headed straight to Jiang Mansion, but there was a small mistake in the middle.
As a result, he was discovered by the guards and hunted down by the entire Yingzhou.
At the critical moment, it was that old voice that saved him from danger.
The old voice said that because he had obtained something in Buyeo, he had also recovered some strength, and asked him to relax his mind, and the old voice took over his body.
Then Ye Qingzhou knew nothing, and when he woke up he found himself still in Jiang's house.
It gave him a fright.
As soon as he looked in the mirror, he found a completely unfamiliar face in it.
Then the voice explained to him: "You are now Jiang Fuzhou, who assists the head of the family in managing the affairs of the Jiang family."
"Stay here first and find a way to obtain the Jiang family inheritance."
The old voice continued, "I heard that this man's son is Jiang Zan's highly regarded heir, so this is an excellent identity."
Last time in Fuyu, Ye Qingzhou did benefit from listening to the old voice, so he decided to believe it this time.
So he remained in hiding until today when he saw Jian An Ning and others.
"Why are they here?" Ye Qingzhou said with a little surprise.
Ye Qingzhou did not recognize Jiang Tan. He only knew that some members of the Jiang family from outside the island had returned to cause trouble.
"They must also be here to steal the Jiang family's inheritance!" The old voice, which had been silent for a long time, said excitedly.
"You must listen to me and hide your identity, otherwise He will find out."
Ye Qingzhou was completely confused. This wasn't the first time the old voice mentioned "Him".
The old voice sensed Ye Qingzhou's confusion and added, "If He finds out that you are harboring a soul from another world within this shell, He will absolutely and mercilessly shatter your soul."
Ye Qingzhou's ears were almost callused from hearing this, but to be honest, he still felt that the consequences of his disguise being discovered would be even more tragic.
"Don't take it lightly. He once ruthlessly destroyed the entire world. The current world is built on the ruins left after the destruction."
Perhaps sensing Ye Qingzhou's contemptuous attitude, the old voice spoke again.
"So powerful? If I were to encounter him, wouldn't I be powerless to fight back and could only lie down and wait for death?"
"No, He originally had no weaknesses, but the laws of nature are fair. If He wants to walk in the world, He must have weaknesses like humans." The old voice continued.
Ye Qingzhou caught a clue and asked perceptively, "Why do you understand it so clearly? Do you recognize Him?"
"Of course!" The old voice became excited again and said, "Of course I recognize Him. I know His name, what He looks like, and where He is."
"Who is it?" Ye Qingzhou asked, "If I can't afford to offend you, can't I just avoid you? If I meet him next time, can't I just avoid him?"
"But I can't tell you." The old voice rejected his idea.
"He will hear it. He will perceive all words that mention Him. This is the authority bestowed upon the Judge by Heaven."
On the long street of Silvermoon City.
The warm sunlight made people feel warm, and Jane Anning sneezed for no reason in this nice weather.
She rubbed her nose and complained, "Who's talking about me?"
Lu Fei suddenly raised his head and thought quietly in his heart: Did he just mutter in his heart that Master’s hairpin flowers look beautiful?
Did he say it accidentally?
Fortunately, Jian Anning didn't dwell on it too much and just continued to say to Jiang Tan, "You must not continue with the special training you did before."
Jian Anning's expression was very serious, and he continued, "In your current situation, if you use your spiritual power even once, you will be in danger. The most important thing you should do is go back and recuperate, and see if you can heal your meridians a little."
"But I want to win." Jiang Tan said gritting his teeth.
Jian An Ning looked very calm as he continued to say to Jiang Tan, "It's inevitable that you'll win against him. If you, a Jindan-stage cultivator, lose to a Foundation Establishment cultivator who's been fed with precious materials and treasures, don't call yourself my disciple anymore."
She pretended to be serious, which made Jiang Tan feel a little relieved.
Jian Anning nodded in satisfaction, and then said to her eldest disciple, "Send Xiao Tan back to the inn to rest, and make sure to take good care of her."
"We're not afraid of his fair competition, but we do have to be wary of his underhanded tactics."
Fan Qingyue agreed very carefully, and then the two left together.
Only Jian An Ning and Lu Fei were left on the busy street.
Jian Anning asked him with a hint of confusion, "What are you looking at me for?"
"Nothing," Lu Fei denied, subconsciously avoiding Jian An Ning's gaze, rubbing her fingertips helplessly, and then said, "Senior Sister's matter is urgent, why doesn't Master come along?"
Jian Anning cleared her throat and said, "Of course it's because I have confidence in Xiao Tan."
"Besides," she said, taking off the gourd from her waist, "I've finished my peach blossom wine."
Lu Fei:?
Before he could react, Jian An Ning had already set out on the journey to find peach blossom wine.
Lu Fei hurriedly followed.
The wine stall was still in the same spot. Seeing they were returning customers, the stall owner became even more welcoming and said, "My wine is absolutely amazing!"
When Lu Fei saw Jian An Ning nodding in agreement, her curiosity reached its peak.
He thought, he at least wanted to know what the peach blossom wine that Jane Anning liked tasted like.
So, this time, Lu Fei directly asked the stall owner: "Can I try it?"
The stall owner was very enthusiastic and poured him a little wine into a small wine cup.
"Hey! I just told you not to drink it." Jian An Ning wanted to stop him.
Unfortunately, before he could finish his drink, Lu Fei swallowed it in one gulp.
In fact, peach blossom wine is not considered a strong liquor, but Lu Fei had never touched alcohol before and had no alcohol tolerance at all.
He could indeed taste the clear aroma of wine, and his skin, which was originally pale to the point of being transparent, gradually turned red, and things in front of his eyes began to appear double.
"Girl, what is your relationship?"
When the stall owner saw this behavior, he realized that his good intentions might have led to bad results, and he tried to make amends with a bit of embarrassment.
“I, I…”
Jane Anning asked me for a long time, but she couldn't give me any clues.
Lu Fei, who was already confused, said what was in her heart: "It looks good."
After he finished speaking, he subconsciously covered his mouth, as if trying to hide his ears and steal a bell.
Jane Anning blinked and turned to look at him.
However, Lu Fei refused to say another word, but thought in his heart that a peach blossom was too thin, and he wanted to give her something else.
