607: 56th Chapter: Granny Beryl 607: 56th Chapter: Granny Beryl Xu Xiangqian spoke with great assurance, making it seem quite convincing.Especially since he brought up the reputation of the âTwin Prides of Ganma Mountain,â such a matter could be verified with little effort, and there was no point in fabricating it.
âTwin Prides of Ganma Mountain?â Zi Shu had also forgotten her annoyance for the moment, simply curious about Jiang Wang, this widely famed prodigy, âWhat does Ganma Mountain mean?â
Passersby who heard the conversation also began to discuss in low voices, âDo you know where Ganma Mountain is?â
âI have no idea.
Is it the name of a mountain?
Or is it some secret agency in Qi Country?â
âGanma Mountain is a special place, it holds a very special significance for us.
But his fame is his business, I donât wish to elaborate, lest people think Iâm boasting.
You just need to know that I am known alongside Jiang Wang as the Twin Prides,â Xu Xiangqian said with a seemingly genuine disinterest in continuing the topic.
âBy the way, Miss Zi Shu,â he continued, âRegrettably, I am already spoken for.
But I know that you are also a fine woman.
Fortunately, my brother Jiang Wang has yet to take a wife.
Would you be interested in getting to know him?â
âAh, thisâŚâ
This was too sudden!
The woman named Zi Shu was at a loss for what to do.
She would definitely like to meet someone as famous in Qi Country as Jiang Wang, but she had no thoughts of marriage without even meeting him first.
âNo worries!â Xu Xiangqian showed great consideration and was very gracious, âWith your qualifications, Miss Zi Shu, youâd be more than a match for him.
Iâll find an opportunity to introduce you to him, and if you feel good about it, you can continue.
If not, you can just be friends.â
While he was attentive to Zi Shu, his eyes occasionally shifted towards Zhao Wuyan.
It was clear that he had an ulterior motive, hoping that Zi Shu could help him in return by making a match for him, hence he had arranged a âmarriageâ for Jiang Wang without his knowledge.
Zi Shu was still hesitating when Xu Xiangqian had already found a new angle, âSister Zhao, do you really know the details of the fight between Jiang Wang and Lei Zhanqian?
The outcome is not as simple as some might think.
The current rumors are quite inaccurate.
Even though I wasnât in Linzi at the time, I had given Jiang Wang some advice before the fight, contributing insignificantlyâŚ
How about this, I know thereâs a quaint teahouse up ahead.
Why donât we sit down for a cup of tea and talk it over slowly?â
Zhu Bijing covered her forehead with her hand.
âMy heavens!
Jiang Wang has such friends?â
She couldnât bear to watch any longer, turned around, and walked away.
I must remind Jiang Wang when I get back, not to befriend just anyone.
Heâs too naive and easily deceived.
Especially beware of someone with a particularly high forehead!
Zhu Bijing thought to herself.
Zhu Bijing, just like her sister Zhu Suyao, was apprenticed to an elder of the Diao Hai Building, Granny Biqiong.
Of course, Zhu Bijing became a direct disciple purely because Granny Biqiong favored Zhu Suyao and couldnât refuse her earnest pleadings.
There are twenty-four elders in the Diao Hai Building, the highest level under the Master of the Building.
Therefore, Zhu Bijingâs days on Huai Island were quite comfortable.
Although she couldnât secure the very best resources, she didnât need to fight for the slightly lesser ones, so nobody targeted her.
Apart from often thinking of her sister Zhu Suyao and sometimes reminiscing about her days in Qingyang town, she lived most of her life carefree.
When she returned to her room, a servant came to remind her that Granny Biqiong had requested her presence.
Zhu Bijing didnât bother to freshen up; there and then, she walked straight out to Granny Biqiongâs bamboo building.
To be honest, she felt a bit nervous inside.
She had no idea why Granny was looking for her.
Granny Biqiong had also been nice to her, but how much of it was for her sisterâs sake, and how much was for her own, she couldnât tell.
Naive she may be, but she wasnât oblivious.
When she arrived upstairs, Granny Biqiong was feeding the fish.
She had a huge transparent water tank that occupied almost half of the room, filled with many different kinds of fish, all of vivid colors.
There was an inexplicably sharp sense of beauty.
âMake yourself comfortable,â Biqiong Granny didnât turn around.
Zhu Bijing looked around and then really did sit down in a very casual manner on a chair.
Biqiong Granny herself was still standing and feeding the fish.
Fortunately, she had always been a straightforward thinker, able to see through to the essence of things, so Biqiong Granny wasnât likely to fuss over her.
She just tore off a piece of raw meat, presumably beef, and threw it into the tank.
Casually, she asked, âDid Hai Zongming look for you?â
âAh,â Zhu Bijing, aware of the basic etiquettes, hastily got up to respond, âYes, just now while I was strolling outside.â
âThat old guy is no good; you should be more cautious around him, and donât spill everything,â Biqiong Granny watched the fishes feed and asked further, âWhat did he come to you for?â
Zhu Bijing answered honestly, âHe said he wanted to thank me for killing Hu Shaomeng.
He even wanted to bring a gift.â
âOh?â Biqiong Granny asked, âWhat gift did he bring?â
âI didnât accept it,â Zhu Bijing shook her head, âHe should be thanking Jiang Wang, but Jiang Wang wouldnât accept it either.
Jiang Wang doesnât even know him.â
Biqiong Grannyâs hand, which was tearing the meat, stopped halfway as she sighed, âDid you tell him it was Jiang Wang who helped you kill Hu Shaomeng?â
Zhu Bijing had already reported this matter to Biqiong Granny a while back, before Jiang Wang had gained such a reputation.
âYes,â Zhu Bijing still didnât realize where the problem was and gave a foolish smile.
Biqiong Granny simply threw the whole piece of raw meat into the tank, dusted off her hands, and the blood as if sentient, flowed off from her hands and âleapedâ into the tank.
âYou should stay out of this matter.
Donât leave the Sect for a while,â she said as she picked up a clean white cloth to wipe her hands, even though they were already clean.
Even someone as naive as Zhu Bijing sensed something was amiss at this point.
âGranny,â her voice trembled slightly, âshouldnât I have mentioned Jiang Wang?â
âHmm,â as Biqiong Granny wiped her hands, she said offhandedly, âHai Zongming is probably plotting to kill Jiang Wang right now.â
She had no reason to hide anything from her Direct Disciple, just as she openly declared Hai Zongming to be no good.
Zhu Bijing staggered, realizing the enormity of the blunder she had committed!
âWhat should we do, Granny?â
She was pale.
Elder Hai Zongming was a peak power of the Outer Building Environment; Jiang Wang was no match for him.
After a momentâs thought, Biqiong Granny said, âThereâs nothing much to worry about.
Given Jiang Wangâs reputation in Qi Country, the people there wonât let Hai Zongming harm him.
As for you, since Hai Zongming puts so much emphasis on the matter of Hu Shaomeng, you should stay within the Sectâs base for the time being, to avoid any accidents.â
âButâŚâ Zhu Bijing couldnât focus on herself at the moment, âElder Hai is so powerful, he might find a way to sneak into Qi Country, couldnât he?
If he seizes the opportunity to secretly kill Jiang Wang, even if someone avenges his death, it would be meaninglessâŚâ
âWhat do you want Granny to do then?â
Biqiong Granny looked at her disapprovingly, âBijing, you should be aware of your status, and you should also recognize Grannyâs position.
No matter what kind of person Hai Zongming is, heâs still an elder of Diao Hai Building!
Should I contact Qi Country to get them to prepare early and ambush Hai Zongming?
The altar under the End of the World Platform is set up precisely for such acts of betraying the Sect!â
