Chapter 596 Jiuli Academy Proposes Cooperation
"Senior Jiang, forgive me for being blunt, but I don't quite understand what it means to join you?" Shen Wan's eyes flashed with cunning, but he pretended to be stupid and said, "I have my own master. If you want me to join another sect, I'm afraid my master will beat me when he comes back."
"No, no, no, I'm not asking you to join the sect, it's..." Jiang Linyuan said directly: "It's asking you to join Jiuli Academy, not to become my disciple."
As soon as the four words "Jiuli Academy" came out, Shen Wan understood.
Sure enough, it was just as she expected.
Senior Jiang is from Jiuli Academy.
Unexpectedly.
The next second, she felt a burning sensation in her wrist.
It was Liu Xing who was angry.
Chen Wan calmly put his hand under the table and covered his wrist with his other hand, signaling Liu Xing not to act rashly.
The burning sensation on the wrist gradually dissipated, leaving only a faint red snake-shaped mark.
Jiang Linyuan explained, "You must have heard of the existence of Jiuli Academy. Jiuli Academy has been hidden from the world since ancient times, and has recruited many talented people. The Xuanji Pavilion of the academy is a holy place that practitioners all over the world yearn for. It contains the Yin-Yang technique, Taoist secret technique, Qimen Bagua and other peerless secret books passed down from ancient times."
"As long as you join Jiuli Academy, you can learn these secrets."
"It sounds very tempting, but what do I have to pay for it?" Shen Wan asked.
There is no free lunch in the world.
Jiang Linyuan laughed: “Friend Shen is indeed a straightforward person.”
"I'll get straight to the point."
"I need your help to completely eradicate the threat that the Blood Robe Cult poses to China."
Shen Wan was not surprised to hear this request.
The future destiny of China is closely related to every Chinese.
Even if Jiuli Academy stays in seclusion, they will be implicated if the Blood Robe Cult launches an attack on China.
In her previous life, she didn't notice that Jiuli Academy had appeared in the battle against the Blood Robe Cult.
Why did you take the initiative to find her this time?
"Why me?"
Jiang Linyuan said bluntly: "After observing you for a long time, I found that you are very smart and talented. More importantly, you actually transferred the soul imprint to yourself."
"I want to borrow your soul mark to lure out the person behind the Blood Robe Cult, and then catch them all in one fell swoop to eliminate the trouble forever."
Shen Wan narrowed his eyes slightly.
He actually knew about the soul brand.
Jiang Linyuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I didn't plant any spies around you. I was the one who was watching."
"You have a soul mark of the Blood Robe Cult on your body. This is a secret technique of the Xuanji Pavilion, similar to the Heavenly Eye. Only one person in a million can possess this talent. Coincidentally, I am one of the million."
Li Hanting's handsome face was as cold as ice: "Soul brand? You want to use Wanwan as bait and let her take risks? Don't even think about it."
"I'll find another place for Yanyan. Wanwan, let's go."
He took Shen Wan’s hand and was about to leave.
Jiang Linyuan smiled, "Li family kid, you have a peculiar fate. You were supposed to die young. Your life has been extended until now, and now you are at the end of your strength, right? The death energy in your body will accumulate more and more, and you will be dead by then."
"I have long put life and death aside, so why should I fear death?" Li Hanting said coldly, holding Shen Wan's hand tightly, "Wan Wan, let's go."
Jiang Linyuan said slowly: “But you don’t know, if you die, Shen Xiaoyou will not survive.”
Li Hanting suddenly stopped in his tracks, he turned around, and those cold eyes were staring at him.
Shen Wan felt that his grip on her hand was getting stronger, and she quickly said, "You're hurting me."
Li Hanting came back to his senses and quickly let go, looking flustered, "Wanwan, are you okay? I, I... I'm sorry."
Shen Wan said with a smile: "You didn't do anything wrong, why are you saying sorry?"
"Senior Jiang, it is also my wish to destroy the Blood Robe Cult. Since I dare to transfer the soul mark to my body, I am ready to lure the enemy. So even if I don't join Jiuli Academy, I will do the condition you mentioned."
"What I'm curious about now is why I will die if Li Hanting dies?"
Shen Wan said calmly: “Senior Jiang, did you see what we have?”
Jiang Linyuan smiled kindly and said, "Sit down and talk."
Shen Wan pulled Li Hanting to sit down.
"I can see that you two have something, and it's a pretty big thing." Jiang Linyuan kept it a secret, "But there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world."
Since this matter concerns Li Hanting and himself, Chen Wan couldn't wait to say, "Okay, okay, I promise you, I will fight against the Blood Robe Cult together with your Jiuli Academy."
Jiang Linyuan was satisfied, and he straightened his face and said seriously: "You two have a twin bond."
When Shen Wan heard this, his expression changed immediately.
"What is a twin contract?" Li Hanting asked, and it didn't sound like a good word.
"Twin Contract. From an emotional perspective, the two of you are destined to be together. You have a very deep emotional bond. From a metaphysical perspective, this is a deeper connection. The Twin Contract means that your destinies are closely intertwined and cannot be separated at all."
"And the price of the Twin Contract is the symbiotic calamity."
"If one of you encounters a disaster and cannot get through it, the other side will be seriously affected. You will live and die together. Do you understand?" Jiang Linyuan said.
After hearing this, Li Hanting's face darkened and a frosty look covered him.
"So as long as I die, Wanwan will also..."
Jiang Linyuan nodded: "That's right, you are full of death now. Once you die, Shen Xiaoyou will also die."
“Similarly, when little friend Shen uses her Taoism, it will also reduce your vitality, and you will become weaker and weaker.”
Chen Wan grabbed Li Hanting's hand, his face solemn, "No wonder, I said that every time I cast a spell, you became weak. It turns out that I was not overthinking. Our fate is indeed closely linked."
But in her previous life, she and Li Hanting didn't have any twin bond at all.
Why……
Will a twin bond appear in this life?
Is this the price of rebirth?
Shen Wan didn’t know.
"Senior Jiang is very knowledgeable. Is there any way to unlock the twin contract?" Shen Wan asked.
Jiang Linyuan shook his head: "No, this is the fate you were born with, and you can't change it."
"but……"
He changed the subject and said, "Although I can't change it, I can delay it and present it in a different way."
"The best way at the moment is to let the Li family kid stay in Jiuli Academy."
"Only Jiuli Academy can ensure that the death energy in his body will no longer overflow. Even if you use Taoism, he will not be implicated."
Chen Wan's eyes darkened. "Senior Jiang, you went through so much trouble just to keep him in Jiuli Academy. Is it really for his own good, or do you have other intentions?"
"Wanwan, I want to stay."
Li Hanting suddenly spoke, staring at her unwaveringly.
