Chapter 59 Broken Jade Ring
After seeing where Nie Yumeng lived, Jiang Wu finally understood why Zhang Xiaoyu kept nagging about moving to a high-end residential area when he became famous. This place is located in Xiangti Green Garden, one of the top ten high-end residential areas in Linhai. It has convenient transportation, a quiet environment, and not many people. It is much better than his old residential area.
Nie Yumeng's residence was a three-bedroom, two-living room apartment on the top floor. The room was mostly filled with clothes and accessories. It took Jiang Wu a while to find the broken jade ring she mentioned in the bedside drawer.
The jade ring, which was as big as a ring, was broken into three pieces. Each piece was equal, as if measured with a ruler. The cross-section was smooth and flat, emitting a very faint black spiritual power, which drifted in the air bit by bit, and it had obviously been dissipating for many days.
Jiang Wu introduced that strand of black soul power into his body. Although it was extremely subtle, it did repair his broken soul, verifying his guess once again and making him more suspicious.
Different from the souls of ordinary people, the souls of the Siming Master clan will initially condense into a conscious existence and transform into a divine soul after they have been cultivated to the third level of the Divine Gathering Realm.
The soul can be used to practice spells and cast curses. It is based on the soul of a person. If it is separated from the soul, it will dissipate into the world and it is impossible for others to absorb it, let alone repair the cracks in the soul.
But this kind of black soul power, which Jiang Wu temporarily called the ownerless soul power, can definitely be absorbed by him. It is strange and full of temptation. Thinking further, if the soul power of others can be absorbed and used, does it mean that the soul power of others can be deprived?
Jiang Wu was somewhat tempted. He now only had the strength of the Guanshi realm, but was constrained everywhere by his broken soul. If he could absorb a large amount of this black soul power, or directly devour its original soul, he might be able to completely repair his soul and recover to the Guanshi realm in one fell swoop.
But such a good thing that makes people compete for it would never fall into the hands of an ordinary person like Nie Yumeng, and it would probably have some side effects.
He stroked the broken jade ring with his fingertips, and became more curious about the real owner of the jade ring.
The other party is undoubtedly a true genius for being able to research this kind of ownerless soul. If he is really a member of the Siming clan, with such talent, he might ascend to heaven before him.
Jiang Wu felt a little subtle. Although the lineage of Sima Ming was passed down from generation to generation, the Great Zhou a thousand years ago was an era when Taoism, Xuanmen, and witchcraft masters were competing with each other. He was able to become the national teacher of the Great Zhou not just because of his good relationship with Yan Chong, but because Yan Chong found him, the strongest among this group of people.
He never expected that a thousand years later he would meet someone who could rival him. He rarely felt like comparing himself to him.
Jiang Wu put away the jade ring and went downstairs. As a result, he met an acquaintance as soon as he came out of the elevator.
"Jiang Wu?"
Zhou Changming looked at the young man in front of him in surprise, "You live here too?"
…
After confirming that Jiang Wu had no need for accommodation, Han Zhong selected a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment facing the sun in a mid- to high-end neighborhood from the rental information Yao Ping had sent him and handed it to Yao Ping.
Yao Ping took a look. It was a middle-to-high-end residential area in Qingshui Bay, with a monthly rent of 18,000. He was just about to ask if the rent was too high for Jiang Wu, when he heard Han Chong say, "Contact the owner and buy the house."
Yao Ping was stunned. "Buy it? Aren't you going to rent it?"
"The rent is too high for him."
"so?"
"I'll buy it and then lower the rent."
“…”
Yao Ping was full of admiration. Rich people are different. They handle things in such a simple and rough way. Unfortunately, he was still thinking about how to persuade Jiang Wu to accept his boss's kindness.
But he was still a little hesitant, "What if Mr. Jiang finds out something is wrong? Will he feel looked down upon?"
Han Zhong said expressionlessly, "With his personality, he will never find it in his lifetime."
Yao Ping: “…”
That’s true.
Yao Ping quickly contacted the landlord of Qingshui Bay, but it turned out that the landlord was abroad and could not come back in a short time. It would take about a month. A month was too long. Yao Ping knew that his boss was concerned about Jiang Wu's safety. Every day of delay would increase the risk.
I could only report the truth to my boss and say that the security in several other alternative communities was also good.
However, Han Zhong was not satisfied, "You can't see the stars in these places."
Yao Ping was stunned. "Look at the stars?"
"He said he likes a house where he can see the stars."
Han Zhong was speechless when he said this. Jiang Wuyuan said that he wanted a palace where he could see the stars. No matter how rich and powerful he was, he was not a real emperor. Where could he find a palace?
Moreover, Chinese palaces have always been low-rise buildings with fully roofed roofs. He had never heard of any palace where one could see the stars. This kid really dared to ask that.
No matter how prosperous a city is, it is bound to have air and light pollution. The places where you can see the starry sky are all in the suburbs, but the suburbs are too remote and inconvenient. Only the area in Clear Water Bay facing the lake has good air and a wide view, where you can see the stars clearly, so he specifically chose this place.
A neighborhood where you can see the stars?
Yao Ping was also in a dilemma. He instantly thought of all the properties in Linhai, then raised his head hesitantly, "... Ziyuan?"
“…”
Ziyuan is one of the top 3 high-end residential areas along the sea, so the air environment is naturally very good. The most important thing is that all the apartments there are duplex villas, with a great view. The panoramic glass terrace on the roof is indeed very suitable for stargazing.
But Ziyuan is where he lives.
Han Zhong looked at him dimly, "You are quite bold in thinking."
Yao Ping regretted what he said. He knew clearly that Jiang Wu had bad intentions towards his boss. He stripped his boss's clothes the first time they met and slept in his boss's hospital bed the third time they met. If he were to live in his boss's house, would his boss's innocence still be preserved?
This is not ancient times. How could one sacrifice oneself just to repay a life-saving favor? Besides, Jiang Wu is a man. Although his boss doesn't seem to like any girls, he definitely doesn't like gay girls. It's not appropriate.
Yao Ping said angrily, "… Mainly because the original marketing theme of Ziyuan was the stunning starry sky. When you mentioned stargazing, I subconsciously thought of it."
Han Zhong's expression suddenly froze. He bought Ziyuan only because it was close to Hua, not because of the starry sky view. However, the main feature of Ziyuan was indeed the starry sky view, and it was not inconsistent to say that Ziyuan was a palace in Linhai.
Everyone in Linhai knew this, and Jiang Wu should know it too. However, when I asked him about his preference for living, he said he liked a palace where you can look at the stars.
His heart was shocked. Could it be that Jiang Wu was hinting that...she wanted to live with him?!
“A-choo!”
In the silver-gray car, Jiang Wu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly sneezed. Zhou Changming, who was standing beside him, asked, "The weather has been cooling down recently. Do we need to turn on the air conditioner?"
"Need not."
Jiang Wu himself is not afraid of cold or heat. As long as the temperature is not as high as that in northern Xinjiang in winter, it will generally not affect him.
"Mr. Zhou, just drop me off somewhere convenient."
"No problem, just something easy. I'm not in a hurry anyway."
Zhou Changming glanced at him from the rearview mirror and continued with his previous question, "There are many people from the entertainment industry living in Green Garden. Do I know your friend?"
Jiang Wu could naturally tell that he was speaking in a euphemistic way, but he did not hide it, "Nie Yumeng."
"Entertainment, I remember you recorded a variety show with her once." Zhou Changming said jokingly, "You didn't even wear a mask or a hat, and you came to see her like this. Aren't you afraid that the paparazzi will expose your relationship?"
Jiang Wu said, "There is no romance."
Zhou Changming smiled and said, "I know, you only like Han Zhong, right?"
Jiang Wu looked at him in confusion, "When did I ever say I liked Han Zhong?"
