In a person’s life, there should always be a friend who can enlighten you at crucial moments. For Jiang Wang, Zhongxuan Sheng, clever and insightful, was such a friend.

The two of them just sat down and chatted for a while, and his mood calmed down, temporarily free from troubles.

Of course, this did not prevent him from decisively withdrawing from the mansion.

He understood Zhongxuan Sheng too well. If he stayed in Linzi, this fat man could come to bother him every day without getting discouraged in the least. But how could he bear to ruin the chance for the Zhongxuan brothers to spend time together?

Today, having met with Zhongxuan Sheng Fourteen, reminisced with them, and had Zhongxuan Sheng help relieve his emotions, he hadn’t given this fat man time to play tricks... The timing was seized perfectly, making Jiang Wang quite pleased with himself.

As he started studying cultivation techniques now, it was with exceptional ease.

The pressure from Zhuang Gaoxian and Du Ruhui, the pressure from the Church of Lifeless, the contemplation of his current status... were all temporarily set aside. He chose not to think too much, instead, wholeheartedly focusing on cultivation.

The call from the God Imprint Technique came at this time.

Of course, it wouldn’t be the True Demon Song Wanxi. In reality, ever since he knew the true identity of that Black Clothed Demon Tribe, Jiang Wang didn’t hope to bring back Song Wanxi.

Other than Song Wanxi, the God Imprint Technique connected only with Dugu Xiao.

Dugu Xiao was very sensible; unless it was urgent, she wouldn’t interrupt lightly.

Jiang Wang sank his mind and immediately responded to her.

"Master." Dugu Xiao concisely said: "The woman named Zhang Cuihua in Woyao Town, Baolong County, whom you wanted me to monitor, has encountered an incident."

After returning from Lost World, Jiang Wang specially disguised himself and went to Woyao Town to visit Chu Mi’s wife and son.

Back then, Zhang Cuihua didn’t want her son to enter the dangerous world, saying she would wait for the child to grow up and decide for himself. Jiang Wang respected her wishes, promised to keep an opportunity for Chu Yao forever, left a package of Silver, and then left.

But secretly, he also arranged for people to quietly monitor Zhang Cuihua and her son’s life, in case they encountered any unexpected incidents that needed assistance from him.

Years have passed in the blink of an eye.

"What happened?" Jiang Wang inquired through the God Imprint Technique while stepping out of the carriage, instructing the coachman, "Go to Nanyao City, seek the Family Head of Lian and tell him to wait for me in Linzi. He knows what’s the matter."

The coachman respectfully replied.

He flew straight towards Baolong County.

"She had a falling out with her family, was kicked out, and got involved in a lawsuit. Now, she’s renting a place outside, and people are causing trouble daily. I’ve already sent someone to check the specifics; you said not to disturb their lives easily, so until further instructions from you, my people don’t know how to handle it."

Dugu Xiao explained in a few words and then closed her mouth.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to say more to Jiang Wang.

But as Jiang Wang’s status rose day by day, she became increasingly cautious not to waste his time.

She was afraid Jiang Wang would find her bothersome and abandon someone as ordinary as her.

She was actually pleased about the issue with Zhang Cuihua in Baolong County; other people’s joys and sorrows meant nothing to her, she only knew it gave her a chance to proactively contact Master.

Though brief, she had rehearsed this conversation several times.

"You’ve done well, I’ll handle the rest." Jiang Wang nodded in approval and said, "I’ll be heading to Chitan in the next couple of days. The territory there needs a Manager; are you interested?"

"Master is willing to take me?" Dugu Xiao was surprised and delighted.

Jiang Wang said, "The territory there is larger, allowing you to better demonstrate your abilities."

"I’m very willing to go!"

"Then wrap up your work in Green Sheep Town and wait for me in Linzi. After the matters in Baolong County are settled, we’ll head out."

"Alright!" Dugu Xiao was fully energized, her eyes sparkling.

And Jiang Wang, having cut off the connection from the God Imprint Technique, sped up his journey.

By now the night had fallen, and he was alone in the air.

Along the way, powerful auras rose constantly, briefly making contact before vanishing.

He crossed several regions, watching them head directly for Baolong.

And this night, the whole Baolong County was shaken.

Marquis Wu’an of Daqi, arrived!

...

Woyao Town’s pavilion chief, Liao Dazhuang, was slapped awake from a deep sleep.

Five worm-like prints quickly swelled on his face.

Beside him lay his beautiful wife.

His first feeling is confusion, then anger.

How could he, a Daqi official, be humiliated like this? Which rascal is so bold?

He angrily jumped up, reaching for his sword!

Then he heavily knelt on the ground.

Because the person who slapped him awake was his superior, the City Lord of Tian Nan City, Dong Bingrong.

"City Lord, visiting so late, is this..." His whole face wrinkled together, almost crying, sunk in agonizing uncertainty and fear.

What happened? He mentally recounted all of his actions, one by one.

Dong Bingrong’s eyes were bloodshot, gritting his teeth said, "You incompetent, meddling fool! Get Zhang Cuihua and Chu Yao’s mother and son, and if they lack a single hair, I’ll have your life to fill!"

He certainly wouldn’t pity Liao Dazhuang.

Because he was also slapped awake by the Prefectural Governor in the middle of the night.

Rushing from the warmth and comfort of the City Lord’s residence to the godforsaken Woyao Town to clean up this fool’s mess, should he offer him kindness?

He wished he could kill this scoundrel with a slash!

"Yes, yes, yes." Liao Dazhuang tearfully struggled to get up, but his legs were weak.
