Chapter 298 Don’t Be a Mother to a Man

In the Supreme Sect's library, Lin Du sat by the window, quietly looking at the chessboard in front of him.

Yuan Ye and Yan Qing walked one after the other, one holding a booklet and the other holding a music score, but neither of them looked at them.

"I don't have any problem, but Junior Master, you are so busy, are you still responsible for the contact with Liangchen Chamber of Commerce?"

Lin Du picked up a black chess piece and said, "No, I'm just afraid that you can't tell the difference."

Yuan Ye sighed, "Little Master, I'm already thirty years old. I can be a grandfather in the Great Zhou Dynasty! There's no need to worry so much."

"That's fine." Lin Du knew his own shortcomings. He had too strong a desire to control the overall situation and did not fully trust other people's IQ.

But there is a saying that if you can't lead a team, you can only work yourself to death.

Lin Du decided to at least trust the person that he and his second senior brother had worked so hard to educate. At least Yuan Ye was a smart guy.

"If there is an order from Huyou or Fusifang, tell me immediately."

Lin Du placed the black piece down, and then the white piece. "The people in Fu Si Fang all have spiritual marks, so they won't easily ask for help from outsiders. Even if they do ask for help, they will be very secretive and probably won't say it directly."

"Hu You is in Fu Si Fang's territory. If he is not in the brothel for even one day, he will be reported. Although the father-son relationship was severed in front of the Third Hall Master that day, it is hard to say whether it will arouse suspicion again."

"So if there is anything unusual in those business orders, call me immediately. Hu You's cultivation is not high. Although he is smart, there is no law in the world of cultivation. It is common to kill someone if he is suspected."

Yuan Ye nodded, "It's not a big problem, leave it to me, Uncle Master, don't worry!"

Lin Du looked at Yan Qing who was eager to try, "If you have something to say, just say it."

"Uncle Junior Master, I checked something." Yan Qing took out his booklet and flipped it open. "The craftsman Quan, whom we met in the valley that day, admitted that he was once a member of the Jiang family and had a daughter and a wife. The daughter was good at using knives, so I had some doubts in my heart."

"So I looked up some people and asked around. More than 80 years ago, Jiang Lirong of the Jiang family was expelled from the family. Before that, because Jiang Lirong had no talent for cultivation and his cultivation level was not high, the resources provided by the family were few. His wife lost money after giving birth and therefore fell seriously ill. The family lived in extreme poverty and in the end they had no money to pay for medical treatment."

"One time, when a family servant went to deliver medicine, he found Jiang Lirong cutting open his wife's body. He thought he had gone mad, so he called for help. The Jiang family felt that this boy could not be kept, so they expelled him from the family."

Lin Du had a plan in mind, but Yan Qing hadn't finished talking yet.

"Later, I asked Jiang Lirong's daughter in particular," Yan Qing shook his head, "Guess what?"

Lin Du glanced at him with a half-smile, and Yan Qing immediately stopped wanting to keep him in suspense. "I asked, and the daughter's name is Jiang Yan, the name Yan means annoying."

"Because her father passed away and her mother died of illness, the elders in the Jiang family thought that the little girl was born to bring bad luck to her parents and was disgusting. So in the end, Jiang Yan was reduced to being squeezed into the kitchen and begging for food by working."

Yan Qing frowned slightly when he said this, probably because he felt that the Jiang family, such a large family, was too unrefined. "Then one winter day, Jiang Ni disappeared from the Jiang family. It seemed that a direct descendant saw Jiang Ni in the kitchen and thought she was eating spiritual food. He insisted that she was as unpresentable as her father and kicked her out."

The chess piece landed on the chessboard with a clatter. "Is it really boring, not the boring kind that you never get tired of learning?"

"Perhaps Jiang Lirong just wanted to express that one name would be enough." Lin Du lowered his eyes, "How could any parent name their child with disgust? Even if they really don't like it?"

Yan Qing thought about it and said, "That makes sense. If I were Jiang Lirong, seeing how much my wife would lose by giving birth to a child, I would definitely decide not to have any more children in the future. This one would be enough."

Lin Du smiled. Even if her parents in her previous life didn’t like her, they still named her Du, which means “du” in “ferry”. They wanted to take their son away. At least it sounded nice, didn’t it?

"The name is given by parents, but the meaning is given by oneself." Lin Du made another move and looked up at Yan Qing, "You went to check on the daughter of the craftsman. Did it verify your guess?"

"I think this daughter might be a feast." Yan Qing closed the booklet, "Especially when she used the Jiang family's unique skills that day, I think it's probably nine out of ten."

Lin Du nodded, "That makes sense."

"What about us?" Yan Qing remembered that Sheng Yan and Lin Du seemed to have some relationship. "Should we tell Sheng Yan that we found her father?"

Lin Du shook his head, "Don't meddle in other people's business, she knows what's going on."

"Okay." Yan Qing regretfully gave up the idea of ​​selling the information.

Lin Du suddenly had an idea, "Tell me the truth, did you contribute to the Zhongzhou Yiwenlu?"

Yan Qing felt a little guilty, "Is it not possible?"

"No problem." Lin Du smiled. "That's great. You can write something for me."

"I only write news!" Yan Qing warned, "Otherwise it will be withdrawn!"

"Who said that what I asked you to write was not true news?"

Yan Qing looked at his junior master suspiciously, "Really?"

"Ang!" Lin Du cut the nails and cut the iron.

Yan Qing opened the booklet and listened attentively, "You say."

The next month, it was a hot summer day and there were not many people on the streets, but there were more people drinking loose tea and chatting in the teahouse.

"The new volume of Zhongzhou Strange Stories is out. Hey, have you read it?"

"What happened? Which family's head married a third wife, or which family's young master got lost?"

"Oh, this time the Zhongzhou Strange Stories Records has made a big splash!"

"What do you mean?"

"This time they directly exposed a big conspiracy of the Demon Lord!"

"It is said that there are evil people who have released evil spirits into the Echo Valley. There is also a driver who testified that he was transporting a person who insisted on paying extra money to go to the Echo Valley. Who knew that after the passenger arrived at the destination, he turned into an evil spirit in front of the driver. How is this different from poisoning!"

"Wow, who has such a dark heart?"

"Who else could it be? That Demon Lord is always up to no good! He wanted to kill our Zhongzhou genius in front of everyone during the Zhongzhou competition, but was chased away by Immortal Lord Yanye. Now he has come up with this evil method to turn a living person into a demon!"

"Fortunately, the driver met a disciple of the Supreme Sect who was passing by. The man was rescued and the evil demon was killed on the spot. In the meantime, the evil demons that had appeared in the valley a few years ago were cleared out."

"It is written in the text that the raging fire will burn the evil body, and the spiritual snow will cleanse the souls of the human world."

The man shook his head and sighed, "If a human really degenerates into a demon, loses his will, and eats human flesh and blood, then that is really... I have to say, this demon king is really evil! He is insane! Is it not enough for him to be a demon himself, but he also wants to make people become demons! Aren't those people in the demon world enough for him to control?"

Outside the teahouse, a group of three people happened to pass by.

"We have bought all the materials Junior Master wanted. Qi Zhen, do you want to buy anything?" Ni Jinxuan turned and looked at the person next to her.

Qi Zhen came back to his senses, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his delicate face, "I don't need to buy anything."

"It's not good to always wear my senior brother's clothes. Should I go buy some new clothes? It just so happens that the twelve sets of different green clothes that my junior senior uncle ordered this year are not ready yet. I have to go and take a look."

"No need, senior sister, I have no money." Qi Zhen said in a low voice.

Ni Jinxuan was about to say that she could use her share, but suddenly she met the face of Yuan Ye, who was walking lazily behind her. The man silently mouthed, "Don't be a woman to a man."

"Well, it's okay. I'll find a way to make money. I'll go out and gain some experience. If I come across some rare treasures, I can sell them."

Ni Jinxuan turned and looked at Yuan Ye, "When are we going to go down the mountain to practice again?"

"Well, that depends on what my master and uncle think." Yuan Ye sighed, "After all, now is the time to use people. Who knows when the devil will go crazy and capture people to transform into evil demons again."

"Just because I'm a cuckold, I want the whole world to crawl on all fours. What kind of logic is that?"

Ni Jinxuan nodded in agreement, "This devil is really a piece of shit!"

Qi Zhen was walking in the shadow of the eaves, and his face twisted for a moment when he heard the words.
