Chapter 38 Let me tell you, we can get married.
After Jiang Hanfeng left, Jiang Zhishui took the two of them to her room to talk.
"Senior brother, senior sister." Jiang Zhishui hadn't even sat down yet when she quickly poured tea for the two of them. "What brings you here?"
Lin Ye glanced at Jiang Zhishui, his expression complex.
"Senior brother..." Jiang Zhishui sat down and whispered, "Did Master send you here?"
Liu Chuxi silently sipped her tea, pondering how to explain her purpose to Jiang Zhishui.
Seeing the two remain silent, Jiang Zhishui took the initiative to explain, "I... encountered a problem. My spiritual power was sealed, and I also lost the communication talisman that my master gave me, so I was unable to report the situation here to my master in time."
Liu Chuxi frowned and immediately reached out to help Jiang Zhishui take her pulse.
Jiang Zhishui obediently extended her hand, "Senior sister, how did you find me?"
When Lin Ye heard Jiang Zhishui say that her spiritual power had been sealed due to injury, his expression changed immediately, and he looked at her with concern.
Liu Chuxi released her grip. "This poison is from the Demon Realm. Did you run into a demon?"
The matter of the Demon Lord Pei Jing conspiring with Jiang Zhishui could not be revealed. Pei Jing poisoned her to control her, but the poison did not have a significant impact on her body. Jiang Zhishui had been in Jin Kingdom for several months, and her swordsmanship was still sufficient to protect herself.
When she left the Purple Sun Immortal Mansion, she also took a few spiritual pills from her master. Although these pills could not completely detoxify, they could restore one or two tenths of her strength after taking them. She could use them to draw some talismans and also use them to help herself escape in dangerous situations.
Jiang Zhishui has been focused on Jing Qianheng lately and has long forgotten about Pei Jing. She has even forgotten that she made a promise with Pei Jing to capture Jing Qianheng and send him to the Demon Realm to complete the mission.
This is also one of the foreshadowing elements in the original text that foreshadowed Jiang Zhishui's character's eventual downfall.
Jiang Zhishui downplayed the seriousness of the matter, saying, "It was my carelessness that led me into the demon race's trap. I have some pills given to me by my master, so it's alright."
Liu Chuxi withdrew her hand and said, "The sect leader ordered the two of us to come and assist you. The immortal sects and the demon race already know Junior Brother Jing's true identity. We cannot allow the demon race to obtain Jing Qianheng, nor can we allow the demon dragon to appear in the world..."
Jiang Zhishui clasped her hands on the table and lowered her head in thought. Liu Chuxi continued, "Zhishui, there are other immortal sects hiding in Jin Kingdom. They are also eyeing Jing Qianheng. If they judge that Jing Qianheng will endanger the common people, they will not spare his life."
Liu Chuxi paused for a moment, then said softly, "Both Crown Prince Jing Rong and the Seventh Prince Jing Qianheng are likely to awaken their true forms as demonic dragons, and they both need someone to keep an eye on them. Lin Ye and I met with the Crown Prince before we came to see you. The Crown Prince is secretly recruiting rogue cultivators from various small sects to join the court. We met with the Crown Prince as disciples of Chaoyun Pavilion and successfully gained his trust."
Jiang Zhishui hadn't expected that there were already undercurrents of conflict among the various forces. She frowned slightly, feeling somewhat flustered.
"I know you have your own plans. In short, we will do our best to assist you." Liu Chuxi said a lot in one breath, explaining everything clearly. She drank her tea, her eyes slightly lowered, her expression dazed.
Lin Ye asked about how Jiang Zhishui entered the Marquis's residence.
Jiang Zhishui explained everything, and the two of them were also very shocked by such a miraculous thing in the world.
It's not uncommon for people to have the same name, but it's incredible that they look so alike.
In the world of books, even the most outrageous things can happen. Jiang Zhishui glossed over this with a single sentence, offering no further explanation for the unconscious young lady of the Marquis's mansion.
She took a deep breath and said, "Senior sister, senior brother, there's something I need to tell you in advance."
The two looked at Jiang Zhishui together. She smiled slightly and said awkwardly, "I might have to get married to Jing Qianheng soon."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ye firmly disagreed. Liu Chuxi remained silent, simply watching the two argue.
Jiang Zhishui assured them that she was only acting on behalf of the mission and would never put herself in danger. She also told the two of them everything about Zhou Linyuan using the Gu poison.
“Jing Qianheng has lost his memory and only thinks I am a member of the Chengyi Marquis’s mansion. He needs me to cover his tracks. Zhou Linyuan and the Crown Prince both want to use him, and he doesn’t want to sit idly by and wait for his death.”
“We are just business partners, nothing will happen. Once I marry into the Ling Prince’s mansion, I can stay by Jing Qianheng’s side at all times. If anything happens to him, I can help. Senior brother, senior sister, leave Jing Qianheng to me, I will keep an eye on him.”
Jiang Zhishui has told so many lies that she herself has lost count.
She truly experienced what it means to speak human language to humans and ghost language to ghosts.
Driven by the goal of being able to ignore everything after logging off, Jiang Zhishui could only continue down the path.
It was late at night at the Ling Prince's residence.
A gust of wind rushed in through the window of Jing Qianheng's room. He lay on the bed, quietly waiting for that person to approach.
The rustling footsteps approached slowly, tiptoeing yet still making a lot of noise. The person stood by the bed and peeked out. After a while, they squatted down beside the bed, gripping the edge with both hands and staring intently at Jing Qianheng.
The room was silent. Jing Qianheng unconsciously held his breath. The person moved closer and closer, whispering in his ear, "Your Highness, Your Highness... I've come to tell you, we can get married."
