Chapter 99: Second Matter

id to be just a sharpened branch.Yet it was sharp, swift, and smooth, with a simple, ancient ferocity.>It's coming right at you!Sword light blazed, enveloping the three-foot space in front of him.Jian...For a period of time, Jiang Wang would almost go to the city guard station every day to spar with Zhao Lang, and sometimes he also acted as a sparring partner for other cultivators in the city guard.

In this high-intensity, high-frequency combat training, his application of Taoist arts became more and more proficient, and he slowly adapted to Zhao Lang's complex and changeable combat system.

Until, Bai Lian came to find her again.

Time was still night, and Bai Lian also didn't go directly into the bedroom.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Perhaps aware of Jiang An'an's weight in Jiang Wang's heart, she left her dangerous self behind in the courtyard.

"What's the second thing" After writing a message for An An, Jiang Wang directly asked.

Bai Lian said nothing, and drifted away.

After returning from Yuheng Peak, Jiang Wang had been carefully considering the distance between him and Bai Lian. He was thinking about what kind of attitude he should take towards her.

There is no doubt that Bai Lian, or the organization behind her, is not friendly to Zhuang Ting.

Regarding the matter of overturning Yuheng Peak, Jiang Wang chose the common people of San shan City, effectively standing against Zhuang Ting. However, his feelings towards Zhuang Ting were complex.

He grew up in this country since childhood. Under the education he received from a young age, he had great trust in the imperial court and a deep affection for the monarch.

So he was once very conflicted. Later, although Ye Qingyu's letter comforted him and made him believe his choice was right, he didn't feel the need to go against Zhuang Ting.

He especially didn't understand why Bai Lian had to bring him to Yuheng Peak for the matter, making him choose when she could have completely handled it independently.

He sensed a hidden something unknown to him, filling him with caution and vigilance.

As for Bai Lian, he plans to maintain a distance from her.

But unexpectedly, he didn't have to endure it. Bai Lian became cold and indifferent without saying a word.

A stomach full of distant and polite words was held back. Jiang Wang had three prior appointments, so he could only follow along first and speak later.

The two of them left from Ximen and headed in the direction of Green Willow River.

When they reached the Green Willow River, Bai Lian didn't board the boat. Instead, she walked along the riverbank ahead.

When the surging sound of the Qingjiang tide could finally be heard, Bai Lian finally spoke.

“The reason why the incident happened in Xiaolin Town is largely because Qingjiang Shui Fu restrained the city guard. Wei Yan and Zhao Lang could only go to Chengdao Institute to recruit people, which wasted a lot of precious time.”

Bai Lian turned her head, gazing at Jiang Wang's expression: "So, do you think the Qingjiang Water Mansion is hateful"

"Damn it," said Jiang Wang.

This isn't something that requires hesitation. Anyone who participated in the XiaoLin Town operation harbors resentment towards the Qingjiang Water Mansion. They equally despise the Devourer Demon just as much. It's just that they haven't reached a level of communication with the Qingjiang Water Mansion yet.

Bai Lian's eyes glistened with coldness: "Go kill a few aquatic creatures to vent your anger."

"Restricting the City Guard is the responsibility of the Water Mansion's master, what does it have to do with ordinary aquatic creatures" Jiang Wang shook his head. "I won't do things that would cause innocent people harm."

The great Chu prodigy, Zuo Guanglie, even before his death at the True Observation Temple, refused to strike a group of beggars from enemy nations.

Although his strength pales in comparison, he, Jiang Wang, is unwilling to become a cruel and ruthless individual.

"If superiors set a bad example, there are bound to be those who follow suit. Can ordinary fish be said to be innocent"

“Aquatic and human races have coexisted for millions of years, helping each other equally. Just as we all want to kill the Heart Eater Demon, no one wants to kill a bear and ask about its hometown.”

"How do you know there isn't" Bai Lian scoffed. "Bear asked his hometown, an entire town was wiped out. Do you think what you see is the truth of the world"

Jiang Wang fell silent for a moment: “That killer bear who asked about his hometown, the entire town, was nothing more than another bear asking.”

"Do you think there are more Jiang Wangs in the world Perhaps there are more Xiong Wens too."

Moonlight bathed the water surface as the two walked along. The Green Willow River, a tributary of the clear Qingjiang River, finally merged with it here.

“Speaking of which, what about the equality and mutual aid of aquatic races” Bai Lian smiled, seeming to find it unbelievable: “Are there still people who believe in ancient pacts today”

"Why don't you believe Since ancient times, humans have lived on land and water creatures have lived in the water, always peacefully coexisting."

"Since ancient times What do you know about history"

Tonight's Bai Lian, every sentence seems to be laced with thorns, either insulting or degrading.

Jiang Wang annoyedly said: "If you know some history that I don't, just say it."

“Tsk tsk tsk. Don't want to kill aquatic creatures, then don't kill them. What's all the anger for”

“I'm not angry.”

Bai Lian walked closer to Jiang Wang's side, and Jiang Wang quietly moved away.

Lily smiled. "To kill or not to kill, that is your own decision. I never forced you, so what are you afraid of"

"Aren't you afraid..."

She moved like a ghost, stepping right up to Jiang Wang's front, and lightly tapped his chest with her finger. In a soft voice, she said, "The real you deep inside"

Jiang Wang frowned: "Stop beating around the bush. I owe you three favors, just say what you want me to do."

"Do you do whatever I tell you to do"

Jiang Wang was choked, and had to say: "I won't kill innocents, whether they are human or water."

“So,” Bai Lian twisted and walked forward, “Now that I’m telling you what to do, it's unnecessary. You might as well observe first and then make a decision. Anyway, I won't force you, right”

Even cloaked in black and amidst the darkness, her graceful figure could not be concealed entirely. In the occasional sway, she brought forth a breathtaking view that touched the heart.

"Here we are." Bai Lian grabbed Jiang Wang's hand and pulled him into the bushes along the shore, squatting down halfway.

She placed down a formation disk and activated it with her Dao Yuan, only then smiling and saying: "Now, the Concealing Array is truly set up."

Jiang Wang understood that she was teasing about the incident on Yu Heng Peak last time, and she didn't say anything. She just stared at the clear water of the river.

He was very curious to see what would happen next, and there was also a vague sense of unease he couldn't explain.

What will he see

Time slowly passed, as if the ever-lasting peace had been shattered.

The banks of the Clear River are wide open, waves chasing each other with flowers, silver light scattered everywhere.

A figure parted the water and walked toward the shore. Dressed in black, with a black cloth covering their face. On their shoulders, they carried a large black sack, blending into the night.

The sack vaguely outlined a human form. But considering the time and place, Jiang Wang believed that it should contain an aquatic creature inside.

Aquatics and humans are similar in appearance. This is also the reason why the two races have recognized each other for millions of years.

The main differences lie in the unique features found on aquatic creatures, such as scales, fins, and shells. Every aquatic creature possesses some degree of these aquatic traits, which are inherent to their nature and will never disappear.

That figure was getting closer and closer, so close that Jiang Wang could see it clearly. He could confirm that it was a human.

A human, in the dead of night at Qingjiang River, stealthily scooped a creature out of the water with a sack. What did he want to do What did this mean

“Why did he do that” Jiang Wang realized his voice trembled. He didn't know where the unease came from.

“Aquatic beings also have their spiritual meridians externally visible. And they are more advanced and pure than demonic beasts.” Bai Lian said in his ear.

>

Her voice was melodious, but the content of her words was brutal: "In other words, a meridian opening pill made from water spirit lineage is a better, more perfect meridian opening pill."

Jiang Wang's grip on the sword tightened.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The coexistence of humans and merfolk as equals is rooted in common sense. It's the consensus reached over countless years on this land.

The state of Zhuang relied on the fierce defense of Qinghe Water Conservancy when it was founded.

The founder of the Zhuang Kingdom, Zhuang Chengqian, established a perpetual alliance with the aquatic people. The terms of the agreement are still recited by children in classrooms today! It is common for members of the human race who fall into the water to be saved by the aquatic people. During festivals, the human race also often scatters fruits and gifts along rivers and lakes as offerings.

Humans and merfolk are so close, so near. One lives on land, the other in water, with no struggle for survival space.

In his view, extracting the Dao脈 of aquatic creatures was no different from extracting the Dao脈 of human beings.

But can human Dao veins be extracted to refine the Kaimai Pill

It's unforgivable just to think about it!
