Chapter 219 Answering Questions and Resolving Doubts
"You're here! Come and sit down."
Faintly, Jiang Ruzhen saw someone sitting in a pavilion waving at her amidst the ethereal clouds.
Jiang Ruzhen walked towards the direction from which the sound came. As she got closer, she discovered an old Taoist priest with white hair and a crane-like face sitting cross-legged on a high platform in the pavilion, drinking tea.
She asked in surprise, "You wouldn't happen to be my senior brother, would you?"
"Yes, I am Wang Fengzi." Wang Fengzi smiled and stroked his beard as he looked at Jiang Ruzhen.
"Uh..." Jiang Ruzhen still felt a little uncomfortable with this name. She went to Wang Fengzi and sat down cross-legged in his manner.
"Is Senior Brother waiting for me?"
Wang Fengzi was pleased with Jiang Ruzhen's insight and nodded.
"Knowing you would come looking for me, I have been waiting for you here for a long time."
"Did Senior Brother know I was coming?" Now Jiang Ruzhen truly believed that the kind-looking old Taoist priest in front of her, with his otherworldly air, was indeed capable.
"Of course, I know everything, including the biggest secret about your rebirth." Wang Fengzi still looked at Jiang Ruzhen with a smile, taking in the shock on her face.
"Senior Brother? You know I'm a reincarnated person?" Jiang Ruzhen's face turned pale, and she suddenly stood up, looking at Wang Fengzi in horror.
Wang Fengzi raised his hand and pressed down to soothe Jiang Ruzhen's emotions, "You don't need to be so agitated. In the eyes of people like us, your fate is clearly visible."
Jiang Ruzhen was struck dumb upon hearing this. She had always thought that she had kept her secret of being reborn very well, and she had always thought that she was the most special one in the world.
Unexpectedly, her every move was a struggle right under someone else's nose...
"Then why haven't you appeared? Is my existence permitted by the state?" Jiang Ruzhen was filled with turmoil, eager for an answer.
Wang the Madman flicked the whisk in his hand and laughed. "You haven't done anything heinous, so why shouldn't you be allowed to exist?"
On the contrary, your rebirth has solved a problem for us and saved a chosen one, so naturally I will protect you.
Solve a problem?
Did they save a chosen one?
What does all this mean? Jiang Ruzhen looked at Wang Fengzi in confusion.
Wang Fengzi lowered his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them. When he looked at Jiang Ruzhen again, he had regained his composure.
"The adopted daughter beside you is a soul from another world. She traveled to another world and gained control over the fates of some people in this world. She then attempted to overturn the rules that govern this world."
I sensed that she would disrupt the world's fortune, altering the fates of those who originally possessed great fortune, and thus affecting the fortunes of nations.
I used all my cultivation to stop her, but I could only erase her memories of the other world. However, I couldn't change her inherent evil ways. She still used you to achieve her goal.
As a cultivator, I cannot casually harm the lives of mortals, but you can. You unintentionally activated the Jiang clan's heirloom, allowing you to travel back in time.
You solved that huge problem for me, not only changing your and your family's fate, but also saving the Lu family's chosen one.
Therefore, you are a great contributor to the country, which is why we have never bothered you for so long.
I see, I see.
Jiang Ruzhen suddenly realized.
It turns out that Qin Lanlan was originally a soul from another world. She transmigrated into the book with her memories and wanted to use the original plot to change this world and the fate of the main characters in order to achieve her goal.
Wang Fengzi exhausted all her cultivation to only erase her memories of the other world, but with her vicious nature, she still controlled her life, causing her family to be destroyed.
However, the opportunity she had before her death to open the family jade pendant allowed her to reshape time and space, travel back in time, and stop her from committing evil.
Only when the world gets back on track can she change her family's tragic fate and allow her four children to embark on a new life, shining brightly in various positions across the country.
Her parents can also continue to serve the country through scientific research.
Lu Mingzheng was also one of the chosen ones, and it was only with the help of her spiritual spring that he was able to return to the army and continue to serve the country.
No, you can't say that.
She didn't change their tragic fate; she simply led them back to their predetermined destiny.
Jiang Ruzhen suddenly felt her mind clear and bright.
"Does my eldest brother know the origin of this family jade pendant?" Jiang Ruzhen suddenly felt as if the shackles on her body had been removed, and she felt extremely relaxed.
They are very curious about the treasure that can allow them to travel back in time.
"Well, think about your surname," the senior brother said mysteriously.
Surname?
Jiang Ruzhen pondered, "Who are some of the most famous people in history with the surname Jiang?"
As far as she knew, the most famous one was Jiang Taigong, who fished with a straight hook in the Investiture of the Gods, and those who were willing would take the bait.
According to official historical records, Jiang Taigong was learned and wise, studied diligently, was knowledgeable in astronomy and geography, and was well-versed in the ways of governing the country and bringing peace to the people.
In the distant past, in a chaotic world where the average lifespan was only in the twenties, he actually lived to be over a hundred years old before passing away peacefully.
According to unofficial historical records and myths, he was a disciple of the Immortal Venerable. Although his magical power was relatively weak compared to his fellow disciples, he must have received many treasures from his master and was considered a god-like figure in the mortal realm.
If the Jiang family really had a connection with that Jiang Taigong, then it wouldn't be surprising if they left behind one or two treasures.
"It seems I am also a legitimate successor of the immortal sect." Jiang Ruzhen couldn't help but feel a little smug.
"The concept of 'immortal sect' isn't popular in our country anymore. We're just a group of people with superpowers. Junior Sister, remember that!" Wang Fengzi winked at Jiang Ruzhen, instantly ruining his feigned air of otherworldly elegance.
It's more like a mischievous old child from the next alley who likes to tease his grandchildren.
"Senior Brother, how is your health now?" Jiang Ruzhen asked with concern.
"It's alright. Anyway, our world is no longer suitable for seeking immortality. In the future, technology will dominate, and we old fogies should retire from the stage of history."
"No, that won't do. We mortals are counting on you to stay behind and protect our country, ensuring its peace and prosperity, and that it will never decline!"
As Jiang Ruzhen spoke, she conjured several large buckets filled with spiritual spring water from her spatial storage and pushed them in front of Wang Fengzi.
"These are for you, senior brother. I hope they will be helpful to your health."
