Chapter Eighty-Eight: First Meeting, First Naked Encounter

saying a word Why did he take his own clothes off and still want to take his comrades' clothes off tooWhy did I come to the palace with you Just to "strip naked"However, Jiang Wang had no right to re...Song Qifang requested the compilation of the "Ziqi Donglai Sword Manual." Jiang Wang and Dong A delivered a report.

It's not that I'm complaining, but he disobeyed the vice-dean's orders. This matter must be brought to Dong A's attention. Otherwise, if Song Qifang uses some underhanded tactics, Jiang Wang will have a hard time dealing with it.

Of course, Song Qifang might not do that sort of thing. He has been in Fenglin City Daoist Temple for many years and has always had a good reputation. Asking Jiang Wang for the sword manual can also be seen as being for the sake of the Daoist Temple.

But the two sides are very different in terms of strength and status. Jiang Wang had to make more preparations to prevent problems before they arose.

Dong A, after hearing this, just raised an eyebrow: "An old man like me, there's no need to pay him any mind."

>

Jiang Wang secretly gasped, the dean was really direct...

However, he was not qualified to answer that.

Then Dong'a asked, "How is your cultivation progressing lately"

“By the middle of next month, the construction of the second Dao Xuan will be complete.”

>

"Not bad. The Dao Spin construction gets faster and faster as you progress. Before reaching the Heavenly Gate, most cultivation is a gradual process. From the Youmai Realm to the Zhoutian Realm, the only bottleneck is the construction of the Small Zhoutian. This shouldn't be difficult for you. So when you reach the Zhoutian Realm, the Dao Arts engraved inside the Tongtian Palace will need to be considered. You must understand that the first instant-cast Dao Art engraved in the Zhoutian Realm is crucial for every cultivator. It's not about the power being strongest, but about finding the one that suits you best."

“The disciple understands.”

Dong A thought for a moment, then added: "In the future, if there is something like the incident in Wangjiang City again, you can report it to me in advance. As long as you have reason and evidence, Fenglin City Dao Institute will never ignore its own disciples. Remember, your fellow disciple Zhu may not be able to protect you. But our institute can."

Jiang Wang's heart warmed. Here with Dong A, he truly felt the affection of both a teacher and a father.

But Dong A didn't give him a chance to express his gratitude, saying only "Go."

In the dead of night, Jiang Wang woke up from his sleep.

He donned his armor and drew his sword, walking to the courtyard.

The woman in black veiled her face and smiled at him, dressed so thinly even on this cold winter night, as if she could be swept away by the wind with just a careless movement.

"Remember the three things you promised me" she asked.

The voice was melodious, floating gently in the night.

Jiang Wang was stunned: "Now Today"

It is past this time, it is already the eleventh month of winter. This is the day of the grand selection in the county government office.

The Three Major Academies are the most direct reserve pool of cultivators for the National Dao Academy.

Such as Lin Zhengren, who gained a place at the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology through the Sancheng Lun Dao, belongs to recommendation. While Zhu Weiwei, who received a direct letter from the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, belongs to special recruitment. Both only account for a small number.

The once every five years Three Great Prefectures' Joint Assessment is the most common path to entering the National Dao Institute, with one hundred cultivators admitted each cycle.

>

All disciples who have been practicing in Fenglin City Daoist Temple for five years or more registered to participate in this election, of course, including Li Jianqiu. After their trip to Sanshan City, their relationship had become closer. Today, Jiang Wangben was preparing to see him off.

The woman in black softly said, "The first thing is, today."

Jiang Wang thought for a moment, turned back to the house, "Wait a moment."

He left a note for An'an, telling her that he had something to do and had to go out. If he couldn't come back to pick her up today, she should go find Linghe.

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

Actually, An'an is not much of a worry now. When Jiang Wang was unable to leave his post, Tang Dun often took on the responsibility of taking An'an to school. In his words, he had to do something for his master to feel at ease. Besides, they both received martial arts training from Jiang Wang, making them "brother and sister" disciples, their relationship is quite close.

Jiang Wang put the door back on and stepped out. The woman in black had already climbed onto the roof and disappeared into the moonlight.

Jiang Wang hurried to catch up. The figure ahead was swaying gracefully, seemingly within reach yet always a distance away.

"Miss, how should I address you" Jiang Wang asked as he ran, keeping a distance of about four body lengths.

>

"Isn't that right Call me sister." The voice came from ahead, sounding too sweet to be real.

>

“‘Sister’ is too general, it can't represent someone as special and specific as you.” Jiang Wang replied with sincerity and confidence.

He had specifically asked Zhao Ruocheng this question earlier, and Zhao Ruocheng taught him to answer like this.

"Hey." The woman in black gauze paused deliberately, waiting for Jiang Wang to catch up beside her before turning her head to give him a glance that was both playful and pleased. "Who taught you to say that"

"No, no." Jiang Wang glanced to the side: "I was just talking nonsense."

When men lie, they usually avoid eye contact and don't look at me.

Jiang Wang thought to herself, "I can't bear to look at you" She purposely turned her head and glanced at her, her eyes resolute.

"In order to conceal their anxiety, they sometimes become even more rigid."

I'd better just keep quiet. Jiang Wang thought.

“Hee hee.” The woman changed the subject: “Since this is our first meeting, I’ve seen your naked body…”

With a blush creeping onto her cheeks, Jiang Wang turned and said, "The lotus behind me is bare, so call me Bai Lian."

“Alright, Miss Bai Lian.” Jiang Wang felt a weight lifted from his shoulders and made up his mind - he wouldn't chat if he didn't have to.

But he quickly asked, "What are we going to do"

"You'll know when you get there." The Bai Lian girl, casually making up a name, replied vaguely.

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

Then, where are we going

> You'll know when you get there.

"…"

No words were exchanged along the way.

Bai Lian seemed to be testing Jiang Wang's speed limit, accelerating constantly after leaving Fenglin City. She only slowed down when Jiang Wang showed obvious signs of struggling.

As the sky darkened, the scenery receding along the roadside also began to change.

Jiang Wang couldn't help but say, "Are we going to Sanshan City"

"You'll know when you get there." Bai Lian seemed to be teasing on purpose. After she finished speaking, she laughed with glee herself.

Jiang Wang could only swallow his many questions, covering his head and hurrying along.

By the time the white lotus finally came to a stop, the sun was already high in the sky.

Looking at the towering peak before him, hearing faint beast roars in his ears, Jiang Wang suddenly felt a sense of foreboding and asked, “What are you going to do on Yuheng Peak”

Bai Lian looked at him, her eyes seeming to smile: "Rest assured, I won't do anything that goes against your principles, nor will I do anything that would get you killed."

So, what's going on

"Come up here with me."

"Wait We're going up Yuheng Peak With so many ferocious beasts, just the two of us"

Bai Lian seemed to have been prepared. She bent down and dove into a cave, and after a while, she came out with two animal hides.

She put on one of them herself and threw the other to Jiang Wang.

Put it on.

It was about the size of a tiger skin. It felt good to the touch, but it didn't seem to have been treated very carefully and had a fishy smell.

"What's he wearing that for Trying to pretend he's a beast" Jiang Wang felt like everything today was a bit absurd.

"Didn't you ask me how to get onto Mount Yuheng" Bai Lian, wrapped in a huge beast skin—it looked like fox fur or something, with beautiful patterns—walked past Jiang Wang. "This is the answer."

"No." Jiang Wang had a headache. "Just because you're wearing animal skin, will the beasts consider you one of them"

"The beast has no intelligence. Don't you know that"

"That's how it is, but..."

“Isn't that ridiculous To think that in the face of such a formidable beast horde, we could sneak in so easily Sometimes, what stumps us is not the reality itself, but our own way of thinking.”

Bai Lian took out a bottle of ointment, rubbed some on her hand, and then picked out a little bit, gesturing for Jiang Wang to extend his hand. She put a little on the back of his hand as well.

She wiped her eyes and explained, "And with this ointment that masks the scent, just a tiny amount is enough to avoid being detected by wild beasts."

Her fingers were cool, with a subtle softness, as they lightly circled her hand a few times before moving away.

To put it simply, difficult problems have solutions, but fools are beyond help. She concluded lastly.

>

"You're making it sound like you're scolding me..." Jiang Wang muttered, pulling the tiger-skin cloak over himself.

At that moment, his eyes froze.

>

Standing before a cave in the distance, he saw, indistinctly, several murder hornets going in and out.

But he clearly remembered, just a short time ago, how the City Lord of Sanshan, Dou Yuemei, had cleanly slaughtered this ferocious beast.

“These assassin hornets... weren't they extinct” Jiang Wang asked.

There was a hint of panic in his voice, a panic he himself hadn't noticed.

What do you think

Bai Lian's voice was a mixture of laughter and sarcasm.
