Chapter 57: Arrogance

urishing the soul!At the moment when Jiang Wang was in a life-or-death struggle with Zhuang Chengqian, and self-mutilated his soul origin, the soul origin he severed with his sword was not one part, b..."Ge Ye said seemingly at random, 'How many Dao Yuan Stones am I giving you each month'"

Jiang Wang was born in the Chengdao Academy of a orthodox Daoist country. He hadn't really seen the lives of truly bottom-level cultivators.

However, human depravity is nothing new at any level.

Jiang Wang raised her head and glanced at him, but didn't speak.

Being called "Master" by everyone, he really thinks he's the boss.

This old monk surnamed Ge waited for a while, seeing Jiang Wang remained silent, his face turned unpleasant and he left with a wave of his hand.

When he spoke, he made no effort to avoid the bolt that stood guard at the door. The bolt, in turn, nodded and bowed as he departed, seeming to have long since accustomed itself to this sense of identity.

Jiang Wang closed her eyes and meditated for a while, then Hu Guan shi ran back.

>

Perhaps too excited, "Ah-An" shouted too quickly, two sounds merging into one, becoming "An."

“The bed is made for you. Why don't you go and see if it’s alright”

Looking at his face, wrinkled like old tree bark, Jiang Wang got goosebumps all over. It took him a long time to calm down.

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

He replied, "Uh-huh."

The environment at the mine site couldn't be too good, but the Hu family mine still prepared exclusive courtyards for practitioners stationed there.

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

As for why four practitioners have six courtyards, those who understand will naturally understand.

As long as the people from Chongxuan's family come to inspect in an unprincipled manner, these six small courtyards will never be full.

The monks' living arrangements were separate from the miners' and they rarely interacted with each other in their daily lives.

As I approached the courtyard gate, a man with droopy eyelids and a scraggly beard walked towards me.

"Greetings, Master!" Hu Guanshi greeted.

Uncle, who was called Xiangye, just raised his hand as a response, and walked away without looking sideways.

Mr. Hu was already accustomed to his personality. As he pushed open the door, he explained: "Master Xiang is just like this, he doesn't have any opinions against anyone. He's just going through the motions."

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

Jiang Wang nodded.

The courtyard's decorations were ordinary, but in a place like a mine, it was quite good.

Because it had just been cleaned, it looked clean and bright.

Jiang Wang glanced at it casually and expressed satisfaction.

Hu Guanxi hesitated a little and said, "An'er, you just arrived, and there are no maidservants in the courtyard yet. Before, I asked Zhang Ye's maidservant to help clean up your courtyard. We can hire new maidservants for you when we go back to town at the end of the month."

Hu Guan looked at Jiang Wang, seeming also not quite good-faced to open his mouth: "These few days, why don't you just make do with a plug first"

>

“Zhang Ye” should be the third transcendent cultivator in the Hu Shi mine. Judging from Mr. Hu’s words, he should be a more easygoing person.

As for the maids...

Here's the translation:

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

Jiang Wang silently glanced at the simple-looking Zhuanzi.

... The plug also grinned enthusiastically.

"Jiang Wang intentionally asked, "How is it that Hu Guan manages affairs with such high rank and authority, and being a member of the Hu Ting Chang family, you don't even have a maidservant to attend to you"

"Hey, can you get her over here" Hu Guan sighed, leaning close to Jiang Wang's ear and whispering, "That old woman has to come see me every month. That woman... her fingernails are sharp as needles."

"That's enough, Hu Guan. I'm not that precious, I don't need someone to wait on me all the time. You guys just prepare meals on time."

Seeing him so agreeable, Hu Guan shi's smile twisted his old face into a grimace. No matter how he looked at it, he found it pleasing to the eye.

He still said very politely: "By the end of the month, I'll definitely find a clever and cute one for you!"

Just then, Grandpa Ge's voice came from outside the door: "I heard that this courtyard was cleaned and tidied up with Zhang Hai's maidservants. How can this be Isn't this neglecting our little brother"

He walked into the small courtyard with a smirk that didn't reach his eyes, followed by a woman who kept her head down and trailed close behind.

He looked at Jiang Wang, his eyes playful: "Before, the maids in my courtyard weren't enough, so I borrowed some from over here. Since you're here, I'll send them back to your side. You won't have any objections, will you"

Before Jiang Wang could speak, he turned to Hu Guan said: "At the end of the month when we're recruiting new maidservants, just happen that the maids in my courtyard are looking a bit stale. Get me a new one."

Hu Guan said, "Understood, Old Master Ge."

Now Jiang Wang understood why Hu Guan had been so hesitant before. It turned out that this courtyard originally had maidservants, but they were taken away by the person surnamed Ge. That person didn't dare to offend Master Ge, so he could only brush it off vaguely.

He didn't have any opinion on Hu Guanxi because of this, he just felt that this old man surnamed Ge was really petty and annoying.

The maid who was supposed to leave this courtyard, whether she stayed or not, Jiang Wang didn't really care. But Old Ge deliberately sent her here like this, clearly wanting to get on his nerves.

However, Jiang Wang always remembered the purpose of her trip. She wouldn't expose herself before obtaining enough information.

"Therefore, I just smiled and said: "Master Ge is getting older and needs to be served, I completely understand. You can take this maid back with you too. I'm not a cripple, I can take care of myself."

The expression was mild, with a hidden sharpness.

“You'd better stay here,” Ge Ye said with a half-serious, half-joking tone. “Spring and summer are transitioning, so be careful not to catch a chill at night.”

"No need." Jiang Wang instinctively refused again, but then stopped.

At this moment, he saw the woman behind Grandpa Ge raise her head.

It's not that she's incredibly beautiful.

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

But in her eyes, circled with bruises, there was a glimmer... of silent pleading.

That glimmer of pain and hope mingled together is truly too precious to extinguish.

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

No wonder she kept her head down, because there was an injury on her face.

“Then you may stay.” Jiang Wang changed his words.

"Did you hear that Get over there!" Grandpa Ge frowned.

>

The maid moved gracefully a few steps.

"You can't do anything right! You even walk so slowly!" Grandfather Ge grabbed her and slammed her towards Jiang Wang.

Even though she was suddenly picked up and thrown out like a weapon, the maidservant did not dare to scream loudly. She just closed her eyes tightly.

But she didn't feel the expected pain, only a soft energy enveloping her. She felt like she had fallen into cotton.

She opened her eyes to see a boy's face. Beyond his usual pleasant features, there was a hint of determination rarely seen in someone so young.

Jiang Wang casually put her down.

Then he took a step forward, looked directly at Ge Ye and said: "Ge, you are too arrogant!"

Although he came here for other purposes, he couldn't allow himself to be bullied. Feigning docility would only make him more suspicious.

"No, no need for that. Come come, Grandpa Ge." Seeing the situation escalating, Hu Guan shi hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Well, we just got a new bottle of top-notch tiger bone wine. Why don't you try some"

Grandfather Ge only had a grudge in his heart, intending to come over and upset Jiang Wang's mood, flaunting his seniority, but he didn't actually want to fight him to the death.

The older a person gets, the more they value their life. A major incident would be too costly for them.

Upon hearing this, he snorted coldly through his nose and said, "Then go ahead and try."

Hu Guan was shrewd and charming, leading the way while turning back to tell Jiang: "You rest first, I'll send you a jar later."

They had walked far away, but Hu Guan's flattering voice could still be faintly heard: "You are all cultivators, why argue with us ordinary people It's unnecessary, isn't it"

For a moment, everyone in the courtyard was gone, leaving only Jiang Wang and the maid.

"What's your name" Jiang Wang asked.

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

The maidservant bowed deeply before replying, "My name is Xiaoxiao."

Her voice was somewhat immature, but with a slight huskiness.

He is not very old, but he has suffered a lot.

"Okay, clean your room."

Jiang Wang casually gave an order, then turned and walked towards the bedroom he had chosen.

He couldn't walk a few steps before he turned back again.

“I told you to clean your own room, what are you following me for”

Although Jiang Wang's voice was already very gentle, Xiao Xiao was still startled, her hands not knowing where to put, she felt incredibly anxious and at a loss.

Underneath her messy long hair, was a face that still seemed youthful. One eye was bruised and swollen, while the other welled up with panicked tears.

looked especially pitiful.

Jiang Wang sighed inwardly, but kept a stoic expression on her face. She simply pointed to the left wing room and said, “That’s your room.”ts and play the role of a missing prodigy, which would benefit Qi Jing's negotiations. After surviving the ordeal, he had no intention of making any more grand gestures. During his long journey to Xu...
