Chapter 797 of "Red Heart Patrols the Sky" starts unfolding: “What?You’ve already set out?”In the Taixu Illusion Realm, inside the Star River Pavilion, Zhongxuan Sheng’s... Discover more!

“What?You’ve already set out?”

In the Taixu Illusion Realm, inside the Star River Pavilion, Zhongxuan Sheng’s face showed surprise, “Aren’t you going to spend more time with little An’an?”

The two had been communicating intermittently through letters, and due to their respective busyness, letters were scarce, not to mention meeting at the Star River Pavilion was a first.

“What?” Jiang Wang joked, “Are you representing Qi Country to say you’re not welcoming me?”

“You are a man of Green Sheep Town, a Grade-4 Qing brand catcher, a renowned prodigy of Daqi.

I might not want to welcome you, but how can I help it when you represent Qi Country even better than I do!”

Zhongxuan Sheng said with a smile, “But lately there hasn’t been much happening in Linzi.

Green Sheep Town is well managed, your maid Biqiong has trained up well, and our De Sheng Trading Company is making a fortune every day…

You really could spend more time with An’an.

After all, she’s still young and needs company.”

“I’d love to.

But staying at Lingxiao Pavilion is just causing trouble for others now,” Jiang Wang said with a helpless sigh, recounting the events that had happened recently.

Zhongxuan Sheng looked at him with a strange expression, “You made your move during Zhuang Yong Country’s war, sneaked into Zhuang Capital, and killed their Vice Chancellor?”

“Although your summary feels a bit awkward, you could understand it that way,” said Jiang Wang.

The Vice Chancellor is nothing, I’ve killed even Taizu…

Of course, these words he could only keep to himself and not say out loud.

“How did you escape then?

Isn’t your country’s King, Zhuang Gaoxian, a True Person of this era?

I looked into the Western Territory’s information before; didn’t he even kill Han Yin?

That indicates he’s quite powerful among the True Persons.”

The portly man squinted his eyes, “Did your father-in-law make a move?”

Being far away in Qi Boundary, situated in the dominant country, he didn’t have to care about the affairs of the Western Territory.

Deliberately checking up on Western Territory information was obviously because of Jiang Wang.

Yet when speaking, he couldn’t help but twist his words to sound mysteriously yin and yang.

“What nonsense are you talking about!” Jiang Wang glared at him, annoyed.

Zhongxuan Sheng got anxious, “Still pretending with me?

I didn’t say it out of consideration for you, do you think I don’t know?

You’re always talking about going back to see your sister.

I’ve run into you writing letters to that Miss of Lingxiao Pavilion several times!”

Jiang Wang couldn’t bother arguing with him, straightly saying, “Zhuang Gaoxian did indeed take action, but the one who saved me wasn’t Pavilion Master Ye, but Master Ku Jue.

Remember, the one I mentioned who wanted to take me as a disciple?

The little monk you bullied in Qingyang Town, that’s his disciple.”

“How did I bully him!” Zhongxuan Sheng’s attention was successfully diverted, “That stupid monk’s master is that strong?

He can withstand Zhuang Gaoxian?”

Jiang Wang was somewhat speechless, “Didn’t you bother to investigate them after insulting them that much?”

“Well, one thing led to another, and I just forgot about it,” Zhongxuan Sheng admitted with a hint of embarrassment, but quickly brushed it off, “Why did he save you?

Do you have that kind of relationship with him?”

“He came to take me as a disciple…” said Jiang Wang, his voice trailing off.

“Uh…” Zhongxuan Sheng was stunned, “That’s pretty persistent, huh.”

He thought about it and then became serious again, “You are someone who values loyalty, believes in avenging kindness and wrongs; the old monk has saved you again, so you must feel grateful.

Some things you may not like to hear, but I still need to say them.

The saying goes, ‘Unmerited kindness is either cunning or thievery.’ If he has the strength to intercept Zhuang Gaoxian and comes from a foundation like the Hanging Monastery, what kind of disciple can’t he get?

Why is he so adamant about you?

Have you ever thought about that?”

“I have thought about that question, but haven’t got any clue,” Jiang Wang replied after a moment of thought, “Perhaps not everything in the world is entangled solely with interests.

Maybe…

it’s about affinity?”

“Naive!”

Zhongxuan Sheng criticized him, adding, “There may be exceptions, of course, but if you always think you’re the exception, then you’re really too naive!”

“Let me ask you, what makes you think a True Person of this era has such a favorable impression of you that he must take you as a disciple?”

He pressed on, “Is it because your talents are higher than others?

Do you have a better temperament?

Do you have an extraordinary will?

Have you achieved what no one else has?”

At this point, he suddenly paused, his tone becoming slightly helpless, “Alright, although I don’t want to admit it, you do seem to be quite remarkable.”

“Analyzing it like this, that old monk’s insistence on taking you as a disciple seems quite reasonable…”

“I want to take you as my disciple too!” he said.

“You’d better be at least at the True Person realm before you have the cheek to say you want to take me,” retorted Jiang Wang with understanding the reminder hidden in his teasing, as he responded seriously, “I’m not stupid.

Don’t worry, I’ll be careful.”

“It’s best if you are aware of it yourself,” Zhongxuan Sheng said, then he suddenly asked, “How is the scenery in He Country?”

“It’s alright,” answered Jiang Wang along with a puzzled remark, “What’s with you today?”

“What’s going on?”

“This doesn’t seem like something you would care about.”

“Hah, really?” Zhongxuan Sheng’s expression was natural as he said, “Just asking!

By the way, are you going to see that old monk at the Hanging Monastery later?”

“Big Brother Sheng.” Jiang Wang looked at him seriously, “Are you hiding something from me?”

“What could I possibly be hiding from you?

You know everything about me!” The fatty said with a cheeky grin.

Jiang Wang’s expression became stern, “It seems you are indeed hiding something from me.”

“You understand me that well?” Zhongxuan Sheng was resigned to his fate, “Alright, alright, I surrender.

Actually, it’s that kid Yan Fu who was beaten up by the Palace Master of Hua Ying Palace, and I just happened to see it.

He asked me to keep it a secret, so I didn’t mention it!

Haha!”

Jiang Wang didn’t laugh, “Such matters you would only tell with great excitement, not hide from me.

Zhongxuan Sheng, what exactly is going on?”

He had already started calling him by his name; this was sufficient to illustrate Jiang Wang’s attitude.

Yet Zhongxuan Sheng continued to say, “If you don’t believe me, just go back and ask Jiang Wuyou!

Aren’t you two very close?

She’s sticking up for her close girlfriend!”

His expression, his words, both were flawless.

But Jiang Wang knew him too well.

“You can choose not to tell me.” Jiang Wang stood up immediately, “I will return to Qi Country at the fastest speed.

Whatever it is, I’ll see it for myself when I get back.”

Jiang Wang understood very clearly that if it was just something concerning Zhongxuan Sheng himself, this fatty wouldn’t be so conflicted at all.

Therefore, the matter that Zhongxuan Sheng was hiding must be related to him, or even be his own affair.

What could possibly happen to him in Qi Country?

He didn’t know, but he felt uneasy.

Zhongxuan Sheng rubbed his forehead and finally heaved a sigh, “It’s not that I want to hide anything from you.

Rather, I have been struggling whether or not I should tell you!”

“If the matter involves me, then I should know.

There isn’t a question of whether you should tell me.” Jiang Wang looked at him very seriously, “Even though you and I are close friends, you can’t make decisions for me.”

“Alright!”

Zhongxuan Sheng pondered for a moment and finally said, “The matter starts with Hai Zongming.

Being one of the twenty-four elders with real power in Diao Hai Building, Hai Zongming’s death naturally provoked a reaction from Diao Hai Building.

But you are a man from Qingyang Town of Daqi, and it was Hai Zongming who approached you, so naturally Daqi will protect you.

No matter how formidable Diao Hai Building is, they can’t stir up trouble all the way to Qi Country.”

“Do you still remember how you killed Hai Zongming?” he asked.

Jiang Wang was silent for a while, “Zhu Biqiong’s in trouble, right?”

“Her intentional leaking of Hai Zongming’s whereabouts has been discovered.

Diao Hai Building has already stripped her of her cultivation, expelled her from their ranks, and set April 4th to execute her at the End of the World Platform as a sacrifice to the sea!”

“April 4th…”

Jiang Wang silently mulled over the date, the only silver lining being that there was still time.

“What is the End of the World Platform?” he asked.

“It is the most sacred and inviolable place of Diao Hai Building, believed to be the site where their founder fished for dragons.

Every year, Diao Hai Building holds a sea sacrifice at the End of the World Platform; Zhu Biqiong has just been selected as one of the sacrifices.

Along with her, there are forty-four others.

All of these people are unforgivable criminals.”

“Do you have a way?” Jiang Wang asked.

“I can’t manage everything even in Linzi, let alone in the Near Sea Archipelago,” Zhongxuan Sheng said helplessly shaking his head, “If I could resolve this matter, I wouldn’t be troubled, and I definitely wouldn’t need to hide it from you!”

“I see.”

Jiang Wang nodded, repeating, “I see.”

ps: In the previous text, “恨心人魔” was mistakenly written as “问心”.

It has now been corrected.

As it’s a character that has appeared several times, I thought I should mention it.

In the official QiDian website, I almost always fix typos and omissions, but pirated versions certainly won’t update those corrections.
