Jiang family bloodline
In the distance, towering white jade palaces stand in the thin clouds and mist, like a fairyland.
The person leading the way in front smiled and led Jiang Jingyuan and others towards that direction. As they got closer, servants with very similar clothes and attire gradually appeared in front of them. They bowed silently to Jiang Jingyuan and Jiang Jingjian, and only after the group passed by did they continue to go about their own business.
Clouds and mist swirled in the sky as the group walked straight to the main hall. The leader stepped aside and said respectfully, "Your Highnesses, the Imperial Master is inside."
Jiang Jingjian nodded, and the dozen or so people following him dispersed silently and merged into the gray-white clouds in the distance.
He turned his head to look at Jiang Jingyuan beside him, and walked up the jade steps with her, approaching the open palace gate.
The two walked forward and saw a graceful figure in white standing in the palace. They saluted together, "Master Imperial Master."
Yan Rugui nodded calmly, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
His gaze fell on the girl in white, his eyes calm as he said calmly, "Your Highness Changsheng."
"Your Highnesses, please take a rest today and come to the main hall at dawn tomorrow." Yan Rugui said without any sadness or joy.
His calm demeanor made Jiang Jingyuan doubt what she had seen. Could it be that the woman in white she had seen before just looked similar to Yan Rugui?
How boring...
Jiang Jingyuan's face remained indifferent. She lowered her eyes, but in fact, the playful heart in her heart was instantly strangled by an invisible hand. She became like the stagnant water in an ancient pool among the rocks. The wind could not blow in, and not a single ripple could be raised on the surface of the water.
Where she couldn't see, Yan Rugui turned away and snorted silently and glanced at her.
…………
On the top of the mountains, cold air is spreading, and thin clouds and cold mist are swirling among the mountains.
A winding bridge corridor snaked towards a small pavilion in the center of the cold pond. Two figures in white, one taller and one shorter, sat facing each other in the pavilion, their veils fluttering. A gray-white stone table separated them.
As the warm tea poured into the cup, white smoke rose, blocking out the early spring chill and blurring the faces of the two people sitting opposite each other.
"Your Highness Changsheng, please." Yan Rugui said with a faint smile.
Jiang Jingyuan nodded silently, picked up the teacup to warm his hands, and then brought it to his mouth.
"Long time no see, Your Highness Changsheng." Yan Rugui suddenly said coldly.
Jiang Jingyuan's hand trembled unexpectedly, causing the tilted teacup to shake and spill the warm tea.
Fortunately, she had only tilted the teacup slightly, and her slightly opened lips were wet with warmth. A few drops of water with the fragrance of tea fell from her lips, along her chin, and dripped onto her collar.
The girl's mind was full of mixed thoughts for a moment, and she slowly put down her teacup and looked up at the person in front of her.
Yan Rugui casually held the teacup in one hand, half-closed his eyes, and sipped the tea, with an air of leisurely ease, as if what he had just said was just a casual compliment.
As Jiang Jingyuan watched, he became more and more suspicious whether the woman in white he had seen before was Yan Rugui. The temperaments of these two people seemed to be fundamentally different.
Perhaps they really just look alike, like relatives or something… Jiang Jingyuan thought, and spoke slowly and calmly, “Master Imperial Master, long time no see. Thank you for taking care of me when I fell into the water four years ago.”
Upon hearing this, Yan Rugui raised his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him.
Jiang Jingyuan didn't hide or avoid him, but looked at him, and then she saw the white-robed immortal in front of her gave her a speechless look.
“???”
“!!!”
Jiang Jingyuan's mind was suddenly filled with a flurry of thoughts like fireworks. He stared blankly at the person in front of him, his heart so stunned that it was empty and emotionless.
But in just a moment, Jiang Jingyuan collected all his thoughts, his face remained calm, and he chose... to pretend he didn't see it.
Jiang Jingyuan silently turned his gaze away and fell on the stone table, as if he was immersed in admiring the patterns on the stone table.
"You're surprised by something you haven't seen before." Yan Rugui snorted coldly.
You're right. This is the first time I've seen a national preceptor travel thousands of miles to another country to commit fraud... Jiang Jingyuan complained in his heart, but with a serious expression on his face, he replied, "Thank you for your teachings, Master National Preceptor."
“…”
Yan Rugui was silent with a face full of speechlessness.
Jiang Jingyuan said nothing, but just looked at him seriously.
Jiang Jingyuan... Jiang Jingyuan's long-lost desire for fun was rekindled. She blinked, trying hard to restrain the corners of her mouth from curling up.
Their eyes met, and finally Yan Rugui turned away first.
Are you not going to say anything more? A trace of disappointment appeared in Jiang Jingyuan's heart, and his face returned to its expressionless and indifferent look.
"I wonder if Your Highness still remembers that even earlier than four years ago..." Yan Rugui suddenly put down his teacup, smiled faintly, and looked at the girl in front of him, saying, "The Rong family also asked me to examine Your Highness once."
"?" Jiang Jingyuan suddenly felt a little uneasy, but she didn't show any of it on her face. She just looked at the person in front of her quietly.
Yan Rugui looked at her, the smile on his lips becoming more and more obvious. He spoke slowly, word by word, "It's about why Your Highness can't practice."
"Boom." The heart gradually rose to the top, and then suddenly fell to the bottom of the valley.
"Bang, bang, bang... bang, bang..." My heartbeat kept exploding in my ears.
But Jiang Jingyuan's expression did not even move, and he looked at Yan Rugui in front of him calmly.
Yan Rugui also smiled and continued, "I thought it was very strange back then—
"How can a dead person cultivate using the methods of a living person?"
The hands on his legs suddenly clenched tightly, and a strong murderous intent suddenly filled his heart, but Jiang Jingyuan's face and eyes remained calm.
She had learned a lot in the past three years. No, not learned, but she had learned more about herself. Her main tactic was to surprise others and strike decisively when they hadn't reacted.
Her murderous intent was like an iceberg submerged in the sea, and would only surface at the moment of her attack.
And she was now evaluating, evaluating how likely she was to get rid of Yan Rugui now, and evaluating whether she could clean up the traces before outsiders noticed if she killed Yan Rugui.
She was waiting, waiting for Yan Rugui to tell her how many people knew about this matter, and what exactly was going on with the "dead person" - was Jiang Jingyuan originally a dead person?
How is that possible? Jiang Jingyuan was just calm and cold and didn't say anything, not that he wouldn't move.
Regardless of whether it was true or a trick, she wanted to hear what Yan Rugui would say. Thinking of this, Jiang Jingyuan gradually calmed down.
Seeing that she had no reaction, Yan Rugui frowned slightly, not wanting to believe it, and continued, "But four years ago, I saw that His Highness was alive again."
Ripples spread across the water surface, the wind blew the white gauze fluttering, and the water pavilion still stood in the center of the lake.
Inside the pavilion, the tea was no longer warm, and the steaming white smoke was blown away by the wind. Yan Rugui looked at the girl's calm face and asked with a puzzled smile: "What's going on?"
Yeah, what's going on?
It was Jiang Yunshu who traveled through time.
"If he can see the oddity in this, then what about the 'Teng Snake' mark?" Jiang Jingyuan thought coldly and decided to test it out.
Jiang Jingyuan blinked his eyes and asked humbly, "Master Imperial Master, why was it that I still couldn't practice?"
Yan Rugui's smile suddenly faltered. He couldn't help but roll his eyes at her, revealing a look of "you're so pretentious." The corners of his mouth twitched as he said, "It's not that I can't cultivate, but the spiritual energy I absorbed was absorbed by another being before it could be transformed into spiritual power."
Jiang Jingyuan nodded, raised her hand to touch her nose, and covered her slightly moving lips with her palm.
Her eyes drooped, and her trembling eyelashes covered her dark pupils. She put down her hand, raised her eyes, and asked softly, "Master Imperial Master, do the Queen Mother and Master Rong know about this?"
The wind was blowing gently, and the fish swimming at the bottom of the water were swinging their tails and swimming upwards under the water surface. The pavilion was completely quiet.
Two figures in white sat opposite each other.
Suddenly, tender green leaves fell on the water, scaring away a group of colorful fish.
Yan Rugui smiled. He stared into the dark eyes of the girl in front of him and said very clearly, "No, I am the only one who knows everything from beginning to end."
The girl in white suddenly smiled happily on her calm face, and she murmured softly:
"Yeah……"
Suddenly her face turned cold, and Jiang Jingyuan clenched the plum blossom sleeve arrow that seemed to be made of ice and pointed it directly at the man in white opposite her.
"call out--"
Ice arrows pierced through the air one after another, piercing the white-robed man's brow. At the same time, Jiang Jingyuan quickly threw out a series of yellow and black talismans.
Among countless yellow and black talismans, a brass disc engraved with intricate array patterns was suspended in the sky, and an invisible barrier instantly enveloped the entire world.
Countless yellow and black shadows and the cold water-blue light were reflected on the surface of Yan Rugui's dark eyes, but the smile on his face remained unchanged.
He kicked the stone table in front of him away, and the tea in the porcelain cup shone coldly in the air. The gray-white stone table collided with the yellow and black talismans and ice arrows.
"boom!"
A huge explosion engulfed the water pavilion, and the bridge suddenly broke at the edge of the barrier. White smoke filled the air inside the barrier and the lake water surged back, while outside the barrier it was sunny and windy.
A slender figure in white appeared in the sky inside the barrier. As the long sword appeared in his hand, a figure in white instantly appeared behind him, and a long sword with cold light slashed towards his neck with majestic momentum!
Are they going to kill him now? Yan Rugui was a little puzzled. The Jiang Jingyuan he met in Chen Kingdom that time didn't seem to be like this, right?
Yes, three years have passed, there will always be some changes...
While thinking in his mind, he turned around quickly and swung out a sword, using attack as defense. The sword energy collided with the sword energy, and Yan Rugui took this opportunity to retreat.
Jiang Jingyuan had a cold face without any expression. A talisman blocked the sword energy coming from the front. Her figure flashed and she appeared out of thin air near Yan Rugui again.
Yan Rugui looked at the figure in white who was chasing him again and opened his mouth: "Without the blood seal, you won't live for many years."
Jiang Jingyuan said nothing, perhaps not having heard or not caring, but the sword in his hand slashed towards him without hesitation.
At the same time, Jiang Jingyuan calmly recalled the items in the storage space. Finally, her spiritual consciousness penetrated into the storage space and landed on the stack of yellow and black talismans given by Jiang Jingjian.
Yan Rugui seemed to sense something and said, "Do you know where the blood seal is..."
Jiang Jingyuan's eyes moved, and taking advantage of the opportunity when Yan Rugui was distracted by his words, he decisively moved closer, took out two yellow and black talismans and threw them at Yan Rugui.
Yan Rugui's words suddenly stopped, and she made a "tsk" sound, thinking that Jiang Jingyuan would not stop until there was a winner in this battle.
really……
Seeing that the two yellow and black talismans with a terrifying aura were about to stick to him, he did not dodge. Instead, he took out two yellow and black talismans and threw them at Jiang Jingyuan.
A hint of annoyance flashed across Yan Rugui's dark eyes.
really……
The bloodline of the Jiang family...is moody and unpredictable.
It's just so disgusting.
