Chapter 221 Jiang Yue
Originally, Jiang Wu called out "Master" by some unknown reason, but after being asked back by the little girl and the other party's completely unfamiliar look, he became unsure again.
"...I don't know either." He looked at her expectantly, "Are you?"
The little girl frowned and looked at him critically, then looked at Han Zhong beside him, "I asked Xiaoliu to help you, but you did it?"
Zhou Changming saw that this little girl was not simple, and hurriedly tried to explain to his childhood friend, but then he heard Han Zhong speak up, "I'm sorry, I will compensate you."
His tone was very friendly, and he added casually, "Its name is Xiaoliu? That's a good name."
Zhou Changming looked at him with an expression of "Are you sure?", "..."
Han Zhong looked calm, "It would be better if you added a surname."
The little girl continued, "Its name is Jiang Xiaoliu."
Han Zhong: "It's just perfect."
Everyone: “…”
Jiang Wu looked at the little girl, then at Han Zhong, and expressed his thoughts, "This name is so ugly."
The little girl narrowed her eyes, "Really? What's your name?"
"Jiang Wu."
“It sounds bad.”
“…”
Jiang Wu took a deep breath, "I have another name, Hegui——"
Han Zhong was a step too slow in reaching out to cover his mouth, allowing Jiang Wu to speak out, successfully causing the pupils of the four Taoists present to tremble.
Yan Zhishan looked at Jiang Wu suddenly, "Your name is Jiang Hegui?"
"It's late. Are you sure you want to continue chatting here?" Han Zhong glanced at the injured Zeng Zhiyang, Bai Xianling and others, then looked at Yan Zhishan and said in a calm tone, "Several of them are seriously injured. Hualing's medical team is at the foot of the mountain. Let's save them first, Taoist Master Yan."
Yan Zhishan certainly had nothing to say. Their sect's mountain was still in the opponent's hands, and his junior brother was seriously injured by the evil creature and had to rely on the opponent's medical team to save his life. What else could he say?
The same was true for the master and disciple from Qingming Mountain, whose sect's mountain and lives were in the hands of others. Even when they heard that Jiang Wu's handwriting was exactly the same as Jiang Hegui in history, they forced themselves to suppress all their doubts.
The people brought by Zhou Changming carried the injured onto stretchers and sent them to the car. The little girl watched them busying around, and then her eyes fell on Jiang Wu.
Jiang Wu's heart skipped a beat, and a hint of hope rose in his eyes unconsciously, but the little girl just glanced at him indifferently, then turned and left.
The white wolf shook its tail and followed.
Zhou Changming looked at her from a distance, a little worried, "Such a young child, let her go back alone, will something happen to her?"
Just as he finished speaking, he saw car lights light up in the distance, and a white SUV stopped in front of the little girl. It was the car that Rong Anzhou had borrowed before. A young man got out of the car, respectfully opened the door for the little girl, watched her sit down before closing the door, then turned around and nodded to Zhou Changming and the others before driving away.
"Is there such a wealthy family in this place?" Zhou Changming saw at a glance that the off-road vehicle was a custom-made one of a certain brand. He clicked his tongue and looked at Jiang Wu, "Is that little girl really your master? How old is she? The Child-Fairy of Tianshan Mountain?"
Jiang Wu glanced at him and said, "He is a boy."
Zhou Changming's eyes widened instantly, "...boy?"
Jiang Wu nodded. They were too far apart when they met for the first time, but this time they were closer. He could see the luck in Jiang Yue and naturally could tell the other person's gender. He was indeed a boy.
The gender was right, but everything else was wrong. He had never seen the good fortune in his master, but now he saw it.
He suddenly understood what Han Zhong meant by "I don't know if he is still alive". His master found the true secret of ascension, and then, like Yan Zhong did back then, he reincarnated himself into another person through soul-refining technique.
It's just that Yan Zhong left behind his own memories out of selfishness, but his master didn't leave behind any memories at all.
Jiang Wu had never seriously considered the relationship between him and his master, nor had he thought about the feelings between him and his master. He had never been someone who would consider these issues, but at this moment this fact still made Jiang Wu feel a little sad.
His master is a very important person to him. Unlike Yan Chong, his master is the first person he meets in his memory and the person who taught him many things. However, he seems to know nothing about his master and doesn't even know what he is to his master.
He knew that before ascending to heaven, the Siming clan had to find the next Siming clan member to raise and teach in order to continue the Siming clan's inheritance, but he didn't think that someone as lazy as his master would like to take care of children, so he was probably just a burden that couldn't be gotten rid of, so his master left after he learned all the spells, and didn't even think about leaving any memories of his past life when he was reincarnated.
But speaking of it, his master should have lived for a long time, and he had only been in his life for thirteen years. Jiang Wu asked himself that thirteen years was indeed not a long time, and their clan was destined not to develop emotions easily, so it seemed normal that his master didn't care about him.
Jiang Wu thought he had figured it out, and he never mentioned the matter again after returning to Wei Changxian's home in Mozi Village that night. He also patiently answered the concerned inquiries from Ji Ruoxuan and others.
When he went to sleep at night, he nudged Han Zhong and whispered, "I think my master may know how to repair my soul. We should go find him."
When he said this, Han Zhong was still texting someone. Upon hearing this, he threw his phone away and hugged him, saying with a smile, "Okay."
Jiang Wucong raised his head from his arms and said, "I am doing this to repair my soul. There is no other way."
Han Zhong kissed his forehead and said, "If you want to see me, go ahead. I'll accompany you."
Jiang Wu felt the warm and soft touch on his forehead, reached out and hugged his neck, and whispered, "I didn't think much about it."
He just hadn't seen his master for a long time, and he was in such a hurry that night that he didn't even have a good look at him.
The next afternoon, when Jiang Wu woke up, he heard bad news: the grandmother had passed away.
After the earthquake occurred in Mozi Mountain last night, the villagers thought that the gods in the mountain were angry, so they went to find the goddess of sacrifice to ask her what to do. However, when they entered the house, they found that the earthquake had stopped and a golden halo appeared above Mozi Mountain. Then they found the goddess of sacrifice lying on the bed, already dead.
The funeral was simple. The "Tanlv" program crew, who learned the news, also went to pay their respects. Jiang Wu also went, but just took a quick glance at the old man's body and then fell silent.
"What's wrong?" Han Zhong immediately noticed that something was wrong with him and asked.
Jiang Wu looked at the courtyard where people were coming and going, and whispered to Han Zhong, "The person has changed."
Han Zhong was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what he meant. The deceased goddess was not the same person as the goddess they saw that day. Jiang Wupin was good at identifying people, so he would not make a mistake.
The two looked at each other and at the same time looked at Jiang Yue in the corner.
Jiang Yue was not wearing a nightgown today, but a local Mozi costume, a white long-sleeved dress embroidered with ancient patterns, a colorful belt tied around her waist, and her long black hair tied high behind her head with a colorful silk rope. She stood there quietly, watching indifferently as everyone was busy with her grandmother's funeral arrangements, without a trace of emotion in her eyes.
People just thought he was too young to understand what death meant, so they didn't say anything.
Ji Ruoxuan felt very distressed, so she took a candy from her bag and passed it to her, saying softly, "Grandma just went to heaven and turned into a star. When you look up in the future, the brightest star you see will be her."
Jiang Yue glanced at him calmly, "When a person dies, it's like a light goes out. How can she, an ordinary old woman, have the ability to turn into a star? You should put more thought into comforting her."
Ji Ruoxuan was choked by the tenderness in his heart. He stared at the calm face of the little boy in front of him and couldn't help asking Jiang Wu, "Brother Jiang, does this child really have nothing to do with you?"
He originally wanted to complain that this kid's personality was exactly the same as Jiang Wu's, but Jiang Wu was strangely silent after hearing this. He was immediately shocked, "Is there really a connection?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately remembered something, looked at Han Zhong in horror, and then looked at Jiang Wu, wondering if he had accidentally revealed some shocking secret.
Did Jiang Ge secretly have an illegitimate child without telling Han Zong? Or did the two of them find a surrogate mother together? But surrogacy is illegal!
He was thinking about it, but Guan Qi asked directly, "Do you really know him?"
The person who asked this question was naturally Jiang Wu. Jiang Wu met Jiang Yue's calm and mature eyes and said hesitantly, "I knew him before."
Guan Qi was silent. They had known Jiang Wu for a long time and knew that as long as Jiang Wu talked about "the past", it would be completely beyond their understanding. They only knew that Jiang Wu's "past" was probably very mysterious and had rich experiences, so they couldn't ask even if they wanted to.
She simply put aside the previous cause and asked, "Do you have any idea about tying him up?"
Jiang Wunande also stuttered, "Adopt... adopt?"
"Yes." Guan Qi said as a matter of course, "I just asked, this child only has grandma as a relative, and in the future he will either eat at other people's homes or be sent to an orphanage, and then he will wait to be adopted by someone else."
Jiang Wu's brows suddenly frowned. He had seen a lot of information about film and television works before, which mentioned adopted children. Basically, few of them had a good life. Even if his master didn't remember him, he was still his master, and he couldn't let him live under someone else's roof.
"I'll adopt him." Jiang Wu said seriously, "I'll take good care of him."
After saying this, he seemed to be afraid that they would not believe him, and looked at Han Zhong again, "You have money, right?"
Han Zhong couldn't help laughing, looking at Jiang Yue's darkened face, "Why don't you ask the person concerned for his opinion?"
Jiang Wu suddenly realized, yes, he had forgotten to ask, so he looked at Jiang Yue, "Are you willing to be raised by me?"
Ji Ruoxuan was silent after being asked this question. He was indeed Brother Jiang. His language art was full of value. If you didn't know better, you would think he was abducting a minor.
However, surprisingly, Jiang Yue actually agreed, "Okay, but you have to agree to one condition."
Jiang Wu didn't ask why he had to agree to conditions to adopt an orphan. He just nodded and said, "I agree."
He Yunxing spoke up immediately, "Ask first."
Han Zhong smiled and said, "It's okay. Any conditions are fine."
Everyone was a little surprised. Although they probably guessed that President Han and Jiang Wu would adopt a child in the future, was the future heir of the Huayue Group decided so hastily? Would Chairman Han agree?
"Don't worry, it's not a big deal, you can do it." Jiang Yue looked into Jiang Wu's eyes calmly, "I want you to host this year's Late Spring Festival."
