Almost the moment Zhongxuan Sheng spoke up, Jiang Wang had already rushed out the door.His right hand formed a sword with two fingers joined, stirring the purple aura.

The person outside seemed to be caught off guard, subconsciously condensing a shield of heavy water in front of himself.

However, as the Sword Qi surged, droplets of heavy water scattered like pebbles splashing outward.

Jiang Wang’s left hand reached forward, a bloom of flame appearing at his fingertips, which also blossomed at the face of the man before him.

All this may sound slow, but in fact, it was the exchange of just one move.

Just one step behind leaving the door, Zhongxuan Sheng saw Jiang Wang had already subdued his opponent.

“Zhongxuan Xin?” Zhongxuan Sheng furrowed his brows.

The man whose face Jiang Wang held at bay with a flame flower, daring not to move, was indeed Zhongxuan Xin.

He had an impressive hooked nose, but at this moment, there was none of the previous defiance.

When he saw Zhongxuan Sheng, he actually fell to his knees with a plop, “Elder Brother Sheng, I have come to apologize to you!”

Seeing him like this, Jiang Wang snuffed out the flame flower and silently stood firm.

No matter what Zhongxuan Sheng’s attitude was, at least on the surface, he was now a guest of the Zhongxuan Family.

Some matters should only be left for Zhongxuan Sheng to decide.

Only when that scorching breath dissipated did cold sweat begin to drip from Zhongxuan Xin’s forehead.

It was only then that he realized the breadth of the gap between him and Jiang Wang.

He understood why Zhongxuan Sheng insisted on choosing Jiang Wang to accompany him into the Heavenly Abode Secret Land.

“Apologize for what, exactly?

I don’t quite understand,” said Zhongxuan Sheng, squinting his eyes.

Knelt on the ground, tears came as Zhongxuan Xin spoke, “It’s all because this younger brother is faint-hearted, couldn’t withstand intimidation.

After being threatened, I opposed you, Elder Brother.

I know my mistake, whatever punishment or beating you decide, I will accept it!”

“Those words…

Who would be so bold as to threaten a member of the Zhong Xuan Family?” Zhongxuan Sheng’s voice deepened, emanating authority with his words.

“It’s…

It’s…”

Zhongxuan Xin was startled, yet he dared not utter that name.

“If you don’t want to say, then just go back,” said Zhongxuan Sheng dismissively.

“Zhongxuan Zun!

It’s Zhongxuan Zun!” Zhongxuan Xin gritted his teeth, saying viciously, “He is narrow-minded and malicious by nature.

Disregarding our kinship, he harbors resentment towards you, Elder Brother Sheng, and seeks every means to oppose you!”

“Nonsense!

How could my brother Zun be such a person?” retorted Zhongxuan Sheng sternly, “You must not slander others so!”

Zhongxuan Xin was momentarily stunned, uncertain whether to continue his tirade.

“Enough,” Zhongxuan Sheng softened his expression, “Stand up.

We are brothers of the same sect; what misunderstanding cannot be resolved?

When have I ever held a grudge against you?”

“Thank you, Elder Brother Sheng, for your great kindness and forgiveness,” said Zhongxuan Xin as he stood up, wiping the sweat from his brow, internally regretting getting involved in the feud between these two damned fools.

Having not succeeded in his task, Zhongxuan Zun’s side, full of talented individuals, barely acknowledged him.

He had also deeply offended Zhongxuan Sheng.

Now that Zhongxuan Sheng was predestined for the God’s Inner Mansion, he was like a fish that turned over and fortunes revived, gaining momentum in a flash.

After careful thought, he decided to come forward and admit his faults, rather than wait for Zhongxuan Sheng to settle accounts later.

Little did he expect that as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Jiang Wang had him under control.

Zhongxuan Sheng quickly subdued Zhongxuan Xin with a few words and, not wanting to waste too much thought on him, casually commanded, “Then you should go back first.

If there’s anything in the future, I will have someone inform you.

If you encounter any difficulty, you can also come to me.”

“Elder Brother Sheng, I will follow your lead without question!”

Zhongxuan Xin hastily pledged his resolve, then fled from the place as if escaping disaster.

The defection of a single Zhongxuan Xin was merely one aspect of the competition between Zhongxuan Sheng and Zhongxuan Zun, and not significant enough to perturb him.

He cheerfully said to Jiang Wang, “I just took over this place yesterday, dismissed many servants, which led to lax security, allowing that kid to barge in, causing an unnecessary fright.”

Jiang Wang didn’t understand much about strategizing or managing subordinates, nor had he the opportunity to learn such skills.

Therefore, he asked, “Can this person be trusted?”

“He’s definitely not reliable.”

“Then why are you still using him?”

“Brother Jiang.

The gap between me and Zhongxuan Zun is in every aspect.

This gap, for a foreseeable long time, is impossible to erase.

He has the luxury of being choosy, I don’t.”

Zhongxuan Sheng spoke very candidly, “Besides, in this world, no matter who or what it is, even a piece of charcoal or a scrap of paper, everything has its use.

The reliable have their uses, and the unreliable have theirs.”

Jiang Wangruo nodded thoughtfully.

He still didn’t have his own forces, and he had never been taught about this before.

Zhongxuan Sheng’s words undoubtedly opened a new world’s door to him.

“Brother Jiang,” Zhongxuan Sheng said with a smile, “Your heroic stance as you stepped out with your sword just now reminded me of someone.”

Jiang Wang felt a surge of interest, “Who?”

“With the same white hair as frost, the same fierce Sword Qi.” Zhongxuan Sheng said, “One of the Hall Masters of the Southern Dipper Palace, Qi Sha True Person Lu Shuanghe.”

Zhongxuan Sheng said, then shook his head, “We’re still far from such a great person.”

“Indeed,” Jiang Wang said.

Zhongxuan Sheng didn’t notice the bitterness in his voice because it was too faint, too far-off.

“From now on, you should focus on your cultivation, strive to open the Heaven and Earth Gate, and explore the Sea of the Trunk.

The sooner you realize your potential, the more you help me.”

He encouraged, “Lu Shuanghe also ascended from our realm!”

Jiang Wang smiled, “Alright.”

After Zhongxuan Sheng and fourteen left the yard, Jiang Wang gazed at the brightly lit sky and sighed somewhat helplessly.

Wei Dongzhen can be called a true person of the current age, Qi Sha True Person Lu Shuanghe huh.

If… if I hadn’t been pushed into the river back then, would I have had the power to take revenge by now?

Leaving Jiang Wang’s yard, fourteen silently followed behind.

Suddenly Zhongxuan Sheng asked, “Do you wonder why I value Jiang Wang so much?”

Fourteen remained silent.

But Zhongxuan Sheng already understood, and thus changed the question, “Am I a genius?”

Fourteen nodded.

There was no doubt about this.

If Zhongxuan Sheng had been mediocre, nobody could have pitted him against Zhongxuan Zun.

“He’s even more of a genius than me,” Zhongxuan Sheng declared, “When I first encountered him in the Taixu Illusion Realm, even with limited strength, defeating him was effortless.

But it didn’t take long before I had to fight with all my strength.

Later on, even with all my strength, I only had a slight advantage.”

“Indeed, I don’t remember what happened in the Heavenly Abode Secret Land.

But judging from the way he dealt with Zhongxuan Xin just now, he might already be as strong as me.”

“I have the resources of the Zhong Xuan Family, exposed to the top cultivation knowledge.

What does he have?

If he had resources and ways, he wouldn’t have traveled thousands of miles to take risks with me.

Although we enjoyed our interactions in the Taixu Illusion Realm, that wouldn’t be enough to bring him to Qi Country.”

“His rate of progress makes me very confident in his future.”

The relationship between Zhongxuan Sheng and fourteen seemed to always consist of Zhongxuan Sheng talking to himself while fourteen simply listened, occasionally nodding or shaking his head.

“Of course, that’s not the most important thing,” Zhongxuan Sheng said, “What’s most important is, this is a very reliable person.

Take the Lian Que incident, for instance; his choice seemed foolish, and I risked offending Lian Que to inform him of the value of that life token.

Yet he returned Lian Que’s life token simply because of a reason that sounded ridiculous.”

“You don’t see this kind of person in the Zhong Xuan Family.”

“If I fought for the longevity fruit for him, that was a hefty investment in his talent.

The reason I pleaded with him to stay and help me was indeed because of that ‘ridiculousness’.”

“This man’s promise is much more reliable than even a Heart Demon’s grand curse.”

“In this world, the only person I can trust unreservedly is you.

But if there’s a second person, I think Jiang Wang is worth it.”

“Fourteen, just wait and see, step by step, I will win him over.”
