Chapter Seventy: Sudden Change

at the town was so quiet that only their footsteps could be heard.As time passed, the fog seemed to grow even thicker.The fog was so thick it felt like a solid wall, making it impossible to see anyone...Time travel back half a day ago.

Xu Fang's remains were finally laid to rest, whether it was truly "peacefully" is unknown, but Jiang Wang's heart did indeed feel lighter.

Causation, retribution, karma... all of these refer to the entanglement of practitioners with the world. This is something that cannot be avoided from birth to death.

Many reclusive cultivators choose to live solitary lives of hardship, precisely to escape these very things.

But the path of cultivation requires resources, which must be obtained through worldly endeavors. Therefore, those who seek seclusion and retreat from the world, apart from those who have transcended material needs, are ultimately a minority.

A learned sage who was well-versed in both Confucianism and Taoism and excelled at divination once said: "One cannot always please everyone, but one should strive to be true to oneself."

This

describes a major realm attained by cultivators as they enter the world.

In this world, no matter how difficult things may be, they are all the same. Do your best and you will have nothing to regret.

With such a state of mind entering the world to practice, one can preserve their true heart.

The pallbearers politely bid farewell. After a hard day's work, Xu Xiangqian told them to get their wages from Lao Zhang at the coffin shop together.

Looking at their awe-struck expressions, Jiang Wang knew they couldn't possibly imagine that the money they were earning for carrying this coffin was in grave danger — entirely dependent on the mood of the old abbot of Qingya Courtyard.

Jiang Wang looked at Xu Xiangqian with disdain and said, "Xu brother, let's part ways here."

"Don't go." Xu Xiangqian said as he slowly approached, "Today is the first time that Ma Shan Shuangjiao (the twin stars of Horse Mountain) are showing their might. Shouldn't we celebrate The Sanfenxiang Building is quite good, and it has branches in many countries..."

He also knew that Jiang Wang was not as impressive as Yan Fuhao, so he took the initiative to lower his standards.

Jiang Wang sighed: "I really don't have much mood... Will you treat me"

“Haha. As for treating you, well, let’s talk about it when the time comes, okay, okay.” Xu Xiangqian vaguely brushed over the key point.

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

When it came time to pay the bill, he couldn't afford it. Wouldn't it be awkward for Jiang Wang to have to cover his share

“I’m really not in the mood.” Jiang Wang instantly turned cold, and walked away.

Yes, who could have imagined that the mighty "Twin Heroes of Ganma Mountain," who for a long time after were objects of great admiration by the common folk of Linzi, ended up being unable to even afford their funeral expenses

The two companions returned to Linzi City together. Jiang Wang went straight to Xiashan, while Xu Xiangqian never changed his course.

After walking for a while, Jiang Wang couldn't help but look at him: "Xǔ brother, what are you doing"

Xu Xiangqian didn't feel awkward at all. He laughed and said, "Let me do a quick calculation, it has been a long time since I saw Chongxuan get fat! I'll go back with you to see him!"

At this time, if he returned to Qingya Courtyard, he would definitely be chased by the old abbot. The weapon might be a ruler or maybe even a broom.

Then it would be a good choice to seek refuge at a friend's house.

What Zhongxuan Pang isn't a friend yet

What's the relationship You've all seen it so many times!

Xu Xiangqian was the guy who, the very first time they met in You Guo, dragged Jiang Wang into a beating. You could say he was very uninhibited and incredibly familiar.

Jiang Wang hesitated for a moment, then still brought him back.

Anyway, it's on Heavy Xuan's mansion and he doesn't need to spend any money.

"Oh my, Brother Chongxuan! We haven't seen each other in days, it feels like several autumns have passed!"

"Brother Xu's bearing is even more magnificent than before, truly brightening my humble abode. I wondered why there were magpies chirping so happily this morning; it turns out a distinguished guest has arrived!"

Their faces lit up with smiles as they clasped hands, greeting each other warmly. They shook hands repeatedly.

This extremely affectionate scene looked like that of long-lost brothers reuniting.

In conclusion, Jiang Wang noticed that even Shi Si, who usually remained as silent as a sculpture in public, unconsciously took a few steps back. Apparently, even his full armor couldn't shield him from this awkwardness.

Of course, the two people involved, whether it was the one with the high forehead or the plump one, were completely unaware of any awkwardness. They were still flattering each other, just like lifelong best friends, revealing half a lifetime of warmth and friendliness.

"Cough!" To ease the awkwardness, Jiang Wang brought up the topic first, picking and choosing to tell about that Zheng surname "porter" from before they arrived at Ganma Mountain.

There is no need to hide this from Xu Xiangqian because Zheng, the "porter," was exposed when Xu Xiangqian was present.

At the same time, Jiang Wang also believed that it was necessary to inform Chong Xuan Sheng about this matter as soon as possible. Because there were many suspicious points in this matter, he judged that the "porter" surnamed Zheng was deliberately sent by Wang Yiwu to die. With Chong Xuan Sheng's wisdom, perhaps he could do something in this matter.

Then he saw, Chong Xuan's expression turned serious.

"This is too immoral," Xu Xiangqian said angrily beside him. "Even if you send someone to their death, you should send someone who is willing to die for him."

It was at this moment that he also heard Jiang Wang recount the events, and it was clear that his judgment coincided with Jiang Wang's.

"Surnamed Zheng, around twenty years old, with the cultivation of the Tenglong Realm. Just a glance from him could scare even those influential figures in the marketplace into wetting themselves. He even caught the eye of Wang Yiwu..."

Zhong Xuan Sheng almost immediately made a judgment: "That man is the son of Beiya Duwei Zheng Shi, Zheng Shangming."

He summed up Zheng Shangming's background in a single sentence.

Let Jiang Wang and Xu Xiangqian, who were not very familiar with Linzi, be able to understand quickly.

"Tsk." Xu Xiangqian glanced at Jiang Wang: "If you had been a little heavier-handed back then, you would have gotten into big trouble. Fortunately, you endured my influence, and your mind is still relatively useful. You didn't fall for Ma Lianwang's tricks!"

Wang Yiwu was indeed a tall man, and this did not detract from his handsome appearance. His profound facial features were undeniably charming. There had never been a shortage of women in Linzi City who dreamt of him.

But if one must give him a nickname, calling him "Horse Face King"...

It seems quite fitting.

Then why has no one ever given Wang Yiwu such a nickname

Jiang Wang pondered silently for a moment.

In the end, I came to a conclusion—maybe everyone else is just afraid of death.

Then, looking into Xu Xiangqian's eyes, he felt a newfound admiration for the warrior.

Xu Xiangqian was oblivious to Jiang Wang's psychological changes. Ever since their time in the Heavenly Treasure Secret Realm, he had always looked down on Wang Yiwu and even had a disagreement with him back then.

This will allow you to see Wang Yiwu's "卑鄙" side, and he will be even less able to contain his sense of justice.

"Have you cleared things up with Zheng Otherwise, King Horseface will lose his wife and troops!"

Ginger said, "I naturally know this."

“This kind of person, you can't give them a good face. Don't think that having a good face is impressive, they probably waste more time washing their face than anyone else!”

They are having a lively conversation here.

There, Chong Xuan frowned deeply, muttering to himself, "Zheng Shangming, Zheng Shangming..."

“I know what Wenlianmu's next move is!” Chong Xuansheng sprang to his feet at that moment: “I have to go to Beiya immediately!”

After finishing, he didn't even have time to explain and rushed out the door.

He hastily thought to himself, "Jiang Wang, please entertain my brother Xu for a while. I'll be right back!"

Fourteen also left silently.

The once "twin stars of Ganma Mountain," now disbanded at the behest of Jiang Wang, stared at each other in stunned silence.

"Who is Wen Lianmu" Xu Xiangqian asked.

"Who am I supposed to ask" Jiang Wang spread his hands.w if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!He gave Yue Chan Master a chance because he vaguely sensed Yue Chan Master's strength.But even so, even though he knew so much, understood that...
