Chapter 43 invites her, assuring her that they will definitely reunite.
There is one hour left before the deadline for using the spiritual vein.
Ji Linyuan was full of energy at the reunion and often dragged Chu Jue into a fight. After one fight, there would be another, as if Chu Jue had returned to the time when he was captured and trained.
She briefly described her current situation to Ji Linyuan, and when Ji Linyuan heard her mention the "right to attend the meeting," he visibly fell into a reverie.
“Things are different now; it’s the right to attend.” Ji Linyuan pondered.
"After years of protests by residents, the Central District Council has been asked to be fair, just and transparent, unlike before when it only released the results after the meeting. Instead, it will appear in a live broadcast before the meeting."
“It’s a good thing,” she said to Chu Jue. “This is a good opportunity for you.”
It would be difficult to publicly reveal the collusion between the male team leader and the management office, but if it's just a pretext to publicize the male team leader's personal misconduct, the management office probably won't be able to interfere.
Group 111's goal was not to cooperate with the central district, so it was not difficult for them to get involved in something that could only be described as a one-time conflict.
Furthermore, once this matter is made public, people will inevitably start discussing the powerful backers behind the male team leader.
I wonder how the central district will handle the discussion?
Are you going to fabricate another charge?
Ji Linyuan confidently stated, "I will also stir things up on the forum when appropriate, don't worry."
Chu Jue, seeing her familiar manner, asked, "Do you frequently browse forums?"
"Of course, the forum is an important platform for me." She enjoys surfing the internet every day to seize the high ground in public opinion.
"Be careful," Chu Jue reminded her, remembering her anonymous identity.
"Hmm." Ji Linyuan opened the forum and found that the male group leader's matter had already sparked discussion, indicating that Ying Yi and others had likely taken action.
"Alright, go back to where you were before. Just pretend you never saw me this time, and we'll talk to her about it when we can meet again in the future."
She's about to start stirring things up on the forum.
Chu Jue knew that the "she" Ji Linyuan was referring to was Ying Yi, and nodded seriously.
“No…never mind.” After considering it again and again, Ji Linyuan changed his mind and said, “You…tell her. Just say that I’m fine, we’ll see each other soon, and that she shouldn’t worry.”
Now that she had the chance to let Ying Yi know she was safe, she didn't want to keep it from him.
"good."
After saying that, Ji Linyuan quickly reverted to his fake face: "I have to get back to work, goodbye."
"Working?" Chu Jue leaned closer curiously to take a look. It turned out that Ji Linyuan called arguing with people on the forum "working".
She glanced casually at Ji Linyuan's forum page, where his nickname at the top was prominently displayed in four large characters:
The castrated horse arrived late.
Chu Jue: ...
Instructor, you have way too many aliases.
Remembering how she had been defending her reputation in various posts a long time ago, Chu felt a surge of warmth in his heart: "When you get banned again, I will still appeal for you."
Ji Linyuan punched her: "Hope for something good."
Her authority was far greater than hers. When some posts tried to stir up trouble and discuss Chu Jue, it was she who intervened, causing the posts to sink before they gained traction.
There was also a little rascal jumping up and down, reporting that Chu Jue was an evil spirit master, but she intercepted it and sent it back.
There's no such thing as a peaceful and tranquil life; it's just that she's carrying the burden behind the scenes.
"Go away, go away, hurry up and leave!"
-
As soon as Chu Jue returned, he found the atmosphere in Group 111 to be heavy.
"Did you have a fight?" she asked without hesitation.
Yun Qiandu scratched his head, unsure how to explain. Jiang Jingshu, however, remained calm and said, "Tianjiao is missing."
"Gone? What happened?"
Everyone present, including the dog, shook their heads. Jiang Jingshu sighed, "Her mother... committed suicide yesterday."
The Jiang sisters' relationship with their family was no secret; Chu Jue had heard them mention it before. They had also shared with their team that the two of them had recently gone to pay respects to their ancestors.
Yun Qiandu's expression was complicated.
"It must be because...the mother couldn't accept the news of her son's death after returning. She also thought about losing her husband recently. The successive blows were too much for her to bear, so she chose to end her life in a moment of emotional breakdown."
She still remembers Jiang's mother crying out, "How can I live without him?" It seems that she was speaking from the bottom of her heart.
However, this "mother" was full of malice towards her daughter. Before choosing to end her life, she even came to broadcast the news to her daughter live.
The child, living in a dysfunctional family, could only watch helplessly as her mother vehemently accused her and subjected her to a barrage of insults.
Jiang Zhaodi's last words were full of malice:
"Your father and brother are gone from the family, and now you think you're all grown up and want to fly away. How heartless you are, Pan'er! Do you want to drive your mother to her death? Will you only be happy if your mother dies?"
Jiang Tianjiao was already quite young, and at that moment she was stunned and lost in thought. Before she could even utter a word of retort, blood had already flowed all over the ground on the other side of the screen.
Yun Qiandu's shocked curses rang out, and Ying Yi immediately cut off the communication. Jiang Jingshu, who was standing next to him, hugged her younger sister immediately.
The person involved didn't say anything, but mechanically continued doing what they were doing in Jiang Jingshu's arms.
Fang Zhiyi sensed her complicated emotions and leaned closer to ask her why she smelled so bad.
Jiang Tianjiao sniffed herself, opened her mouth but didn't say anything, and then disappeared.
"It really stank, but it seemed to smell good again before I left." Fang Zhiyi recalled the scene, indicating that she was just telling the truth as a victimized dog.
Fang Zhiyi didn't know what to say. She felt that it was actually a good thing that Jiang Jingshu didn't have such a mother.
The concept of motherhood was difficult for her to understand. There were all sorts of mothers who were willing to sacrifice themselves for their daughters, but who could not let go of their daughters.
It is incomparable to a dog.
Chu Jue noticed that Fang Zhiyi's tail was drooping, clearly indicating that she was still blaming herself.
She patted Fang Zhiyi's head, and only stopped after Fang Zhiyi bit her. She continued, "Did Jiang Tianjiao go back to find her?"
"No." The difficulty lies in the fact that they don't know where Jiang Tianjiao went, as she hasn't turned on location services.
Jiang Tianjiao's condition had been off lately; the fact that she couldn't become a Spirit Master despite her hard work had been a huge blow to her. Seeing the increasing number of outstanding members in Group 111, she began to doubt herself.
Now that this has happened again, it's undoubtedly putting invisible pressure on her.
“She should be able to handle these things herself.” Jiang Jingshu understands her, but she still can’t help but worry about her.
"Huh? What's up?" The person at the center of the conversation suddenly appeared, her face still light and cheerful. "What's wrong? Tell me, is there anyone who needs help with something?"
Jiang Tianjiao led Da Huang on a leash, seemingly having strolled quite a distance. Da Huang, panting with its tongue lolling out, looked excited, and neither of them showed any of the "pressure" or "blow" they had described.
“…No,” Jiang Jingshu said. “It’s good that you’re alright. Everyone was very worried about you.”
"Ah." Jiang Tianjiao seemed to have thought of something, but didn't continue. "I'm fine, I just..."
It just requires some personal time to go through these things.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
She rushed back immediately to share the good news—
Jiang Tianjiao blinked, and while still wiping the paw pad for Dahuang, she couldn't help but boast, "By the way, do you see any difference between me and before?"
What's the difference?
Chu Jue replied, "You have become a Spirit Master."
Jiang Tianjiao's potential value turned from gray to red.
"Wow, Sister Chu Jue is amazing—" Jiang Tianjiao finally let go of the joy she had been trying so hard to hide. "I was thinking of keeping it a secret for a while and then giving you a surprise."
Unexpectedly, he was discovered as soon as he appeared. Sure enough, Chu Jue is still Chu Jue.
Several people said "Congratulations" in unison.
Jiang Tianjiao breathed a sigh of relief, but her voice trembled slightly: "That's great, I finally did it."
Her tears fell unexpectedly, and she was overjoyed because she felt happy.
“Spiritual cultivation is truly mysterious.” Jiang Tianjiao’s voice trembled, yet she still sighed, “Before, I was always concerned about these things and those things.”
There's something she can't let go of in her heart; she always feels like she did something wrong to become the unloved child.
She thought she would be free after leaving, but the person behind her, like a water ghost, kept her trapped in the same place.
When Jiang Tianjiao received the woman's message, she did not feel the joy she had imagined.
She had imagined how her mother would lose control and blame her after seeing her son's corpse, but she hadn't expected that this woman would be so fragile as to want to drag her down with her.
Jiang Zhaodi hated her, so she chose to take revenge on her in this way.
The choice she made caused Jiang Tianjiao pain, but at the same time, she felt relieved.
...She felt relieved in that situation.
The burdens that had been silently and constantly entangled and troubled her disappeared.
Jiang Jingshu gently wiped away her tears, but Jiang Tianjiao was stronger than ever before when she cried.
"I'm really fine. Didn't this reunite their family?" Jiang Tianjiao said, hiccuping as she laughed and cried at the same time. "It's a good thing I did."
Yun Qiandu said affirmatively, "You're right."
Fang Zhiyi leaned closer to Jiang Tianjiao and whispered to her that she was taking Dahuang back to the Spirit Realm today.
"Waaaaah, Teacher Fang is simply the best teacher in the world—"
Jiang Tianjiao buried her face in Fang Zhiyi's fur.
Fang Zhiyi awkwardly turned her head away, not even caring that Jiang Tianjiao's tears were dripping onto her fur. It was just a little extra help; she'd consider it a reward for brave humans.
While the group was discussing Jiang Tianjiao's spiritual power, Chu Jue gestured for Ying Yi to move closer.
Noticing her movement, Ying Yi moved closer.
"What's wrong?"
Chu Jue got straight to the point without any preamble: "I encountered the Spirit Woman in the spiritual vein."
"What?"
Ying Yi wondered if she had misheard something.
"She asked me to tell you that she's doing well. You'll see each other soon, so don't worry."
The person who was informed hadn't yet processed the news and instinctively let out an "Ah" as a response.
Having delivered the message, Chu Jue considered his mission accomplished and didn't continue speaking.
The conversation of the people around him became muffled, as if shielded by a layer of noise. It took him a long time to recover before Ying Yi pressed on, "The Spirit Woman appeared in the spiritual vein?"
"yes."
"She was there!" Ying Yi was both surprised and delighted, but amidst the disbelief, she felt a sense of doubt. "But how did she get into the central area?"
Chu Jue shook his head, but this should be a long story.
"So, the meaning of that inexplicable code she gave before she disappeared was actually that I should go to the central area to find her? Did I not understand it, or did she mean I shouldn't go?"
For once, Ying Yi began to doubt himself.
Chu Jue: ...
With a complicated expression, she said, "Actually... she didn't leave any code."
She had asked Ji Linyuan about this out of curiosity, and received a surprised reply from him: "A code?"
"When did the code come about? How come I didn't know about it?"
Ji Linyuan racked his brains and finally came up with an answer:
"Oh, I remember now. My eyes were a little dry from staring at the screen for so long."
Chu Jue repeated her answer: "She said it meant her eyes were dry."
Ying Yi was stunned. Just when Chu Jue thought she was speechless, she smiled nostalgically and said, "I understand."
She didn't leave any secret signals because she was certain they would reunite.
"I'm overthinking it."
She is that kind of spirit.
The two exchanged some more questions about Ling Yu, but Ying Yi steered the conversation away from the question of why Chu Jue and Ling Yu knew each other.
Chu Jue had many secrets, and Ying Yi didn't intend to ask about them until she brought them up herself.
"The God of Psionic Power exists, but its divine power is not actually its own divine power." Chu Jue recounted the truth that Ji Linyuan and she had discussed to Ying Yi. "It relied on humanity's faith in the true god to steal the truth and achieve what it has now."
The problem that had been troubling Ying Yi was instantly brought to his senses.
"...So that's how it is."
Her guess was wrong, because "God" himself was wrong.
Ying Yi sensed from Chu Jue's words that she probably already had a plan: "What are you planning to do on the day of the council meeting?"
Chu Jue met her gaze and smiled knowingly.
“I have an idea,” she invited Ying Yi, “Let’s take advantage of the male team leader’s remaining influence to do something we didn’t finish before.”
"You mean..."
"Project Godslayer 2.0"
