Jiang Qiao asked about the approximate location. The meat she had promised Zhou Tianyu couldn't be delivered for the time being, but mailing some other things shouldn't be a problem.
Before leaving, Jiang Qiao mailed some things to the Zhou family and to her relatives and friends. Of course, she also bought quite a lot for herself.
Not only her, but also Hou Diankui and his apprentice did the same. They needed to eat and drink on the way, and they also needed to bring back some things for their relatives and friends. They mailed everything they could to make their departure easier.
That evening, Jiang Qiao went to say goodbye to Song Shukun and Lei Jiao, especially to Lei Jiao, whom she gave an extra gift.
"Don't refuse. This book is a family heirloom. If I were to learn it, we would be considered to be from the same school. Although you haven't learned it, in my heart you are not an outsider. Consider this gift as a wedding present for your future marriage. Remember, if anything happens, write to me."
Although she hadn't opened the box Jiang Qiao had given her, Lei Jiao knew that the contents must be very valuable. Originally, she wanted to find a good owner for her family's medical book, but she never expected to have such a connection with Jiang Qiao.
Previously, she never imagined that she would so easily give away what her grandfather had risked his life to preserve to Jiang Qiao, someone she didn't even know.
However, she followed her heart and believed that once the book was in Jiang Qiao's hands, it had found its true owner.
"Jiang Qiao, take good care of yourself. If you have the chance, come visit us. You know my address. Let's keep in touch."
After Jiang Qiao left, Lei Jiao opened the box Jiang Qiao had given her, and even she was surprised. In addition to the deposit slip and tickets, there was gold jewelry and a ginseng of very good quality.
Although she didn't know much about this thing, Lei Jiao knew in her heart that anything Jiang Qiao would give away as a gift was probably a hundred-year-old ginseng.
She originally wanted to chase after him and return the money, but remembering Jiang Qiao's words, she ultimately decided to stay.
Although she hadn't known Jiang Qiao for long, she knew Jiang Qiao's character well; once something was given away, the girl wouldn't take it back.
After packing her things away, she decided that she would have to treat Jiang Qiao as a friend in the future.
With everything settled, Jiang Qiao set off with Song Shutian and the others early the next morning. After receiving Song Shutian's report, they had already mobilized personnel to search the area they suspected.
"Huh, why are there so many People's Liberation Army soldiers?"
Jiang Qiao, who had been resting with her eyes closed, opened them and looked out of the train after hearing Chunming's voice. Indeed, trucks were carrying soldiers in the direction they had left.
Jiang Qiao's eyes were suddenly drawn to a figure in the car. Even though everyone was dressed the same, she would never forget that face.
"Ning Hao, Brother Ning is in the car—"
Chunming was taken aback and quickly looked in the direction Jiang Qiao was pointing.
Unfortunately, the truck had already driven past, and Jiang Qiao no longer had the chance to wave to it.
Jiang Qiao turned to look at Song Shutian, who smiled at her, nodded, sighed, and whispered, "Why did they come over?"
In her mind, Ning Hao and his group were quite far away, so doing this was taking a roundabout route.
Song Shutian was somewhat aware of Jiang Qiao's doubts. "It's a normal transfer; not everyone can be promoted, right?"
Jiang Qiao sighed, feeling a mix of emotions. This was a war, not a game. She worried whether Ning Hao had brought the jade pendant with him.
Chunming muttered to himself, "If I had known this would happen, we could have stayed a day longer, so we could have met Ning Hao one more time."
Hou Diankui patted his apprentice on the back. "Kid, if you hadn't taken a car today, how would you have known he was here? Ning Hao didn't know we were here either. In the future, when we meet again, why worry about this short time? That kid is fine."
The old man glanced at Jiang Qiao. Hearing Hou Diankui say that, Jiang Qiao looked up and smiled at the old man, then winked. Hou Diankui gave Jiang Qiao a subtle nod.
After a long journey, they arrived in Jiangzhou and checked into the guesthouse that Song Shutian had arranged in advance.
There was no confirmed news from Song Shutian's side yet, so Jiang Qiao and Hou Diankui had plenty of time to rest.
In fact, they both knew in their hearts that a tough battle was about to begin. The key was that they did not know the strength of their opponent. With just the two of them and Chunming, who was only a novice, they were both a little unsure of themselves.
However, both of them were seasoned veterans, and they didn't show it on their faces. Only Chunming, the young and impetuous one, felt his blood boiling. He was about to face those bad guys head-on, and while he was nervous, he was also excited, as if his dream of being a hero was about to come true.
During this time, Jiang Qiao was not idle. He had been studying the medical books of the Tianyi Sect. With so many years of experience here, some things might be difficult for others to study, and some things might be confusing. However, these were not problems for Jiang Qiao.
Actually, she should be more grateful for the foundation she laid by reading books over the years, especially with the Bian Que Divine Chapter as a base. Studying what her master left behind is not a problem for her.
A tough battle is about to begin, and she doesn't think her mediocre skills can compare to those who have a century-old tradition.
Song Shutian told them to rest for the next two days and to be available whenever needed. Jiang Qiao then asked about it.
"Master Hou, what are your plans for the next couple of days?"
Hou Diankui was taken aback for a moment. "Take a break, browse the antique market, and maybe find some magical artifacts. What, is something the matter?"
Jiang Qiao glanced at Chunming and Hou Diankui, and the smile on her face made the two of them feel uneasy.
"Girl, what do you mean? What do you want us to do?"
Jiang Qiao hesitated for a moment, "Master Hou, has your cultivation level been stuck at a certain point for a long time, and you haven't been able to break through, right?"
Hou Diankui was far more shocked than he appeared on the surface. This girl's internal strength back then was something she had cultivated little by little with the books he had given her.
He just didn't expect that in such a short time, this girl would be able to ask such a question. It is clear that the child's progress is beyond his imagination. It would be no exaggeration to describe Jiang Qiao as a genius.
Seeing Hou Diankui's somewhat dazed expression, Jiang Qiao continued, "I just finished studying my sect's teachings and discovered that we seem to share a common origin. So, I want to try and see if I can help you break through your cultivation level in a short period of time—"
Hou Diankui was so excited that he couldn't express it in words. He thought that was all there was to his life, and that he could not improve any further. He never expected that Jiang Qiao's words would bring him such a big surprise.
"Girl, are you telling the truth?"
