In the shabby and narrow room, the window was open.
At that moment, a scholar in white stood by the window. Moonlight fell on him.
He was like the brightest existence in the darkness.
In the room, a young lady looked ahead with a blank face.
Moments before, she had suffered from the curse that she was born with. That pain had accompanied her for hundreds of years.
The pain hadn’t lessened at all, and her body didn’t get used to it at all.
She thought that she would die in pain and had instinctively asked for help, but she did not expect it to work.
“It seems like it’s not painful anymore.” The scholar opened the folding fan in his hand and smiled.
The words “Unparalleled in the World” appeared on the folding fan.
Shangguan Qingsu finally recovered from her shock.
“Smiling San Sheng?” she said.
“That’s me. Is this why you’re looking for me?” Smiling San Sheng nodded and smiled.
Shangguan Qingsu never expected to find Smiling San Sheng in the Heavenly Note Sect. Why was he here?
She didn’t understand, but she didn’t think too much about it.
She didn’t care if this was the same person she had met before.
As long as he could help with the curse, it would be fine.
At the end of the day, she was only looking for someone who could help with the curse.
“Can you really suppress the curse? Can you remove it?” Shangguan Qingsu asked.
Smiling San Sheng smiled but didn’t say anything.
Only then did Shangguan Qingsu come to her senses. She stood up and bowed. “Thank you for your help, Senior. If you need anything, please tell me.”
“You have good manners,” Jiang Hao said with a smile.
When he planned to get in touch with Shangguan Qingsu, he had already thought of the most suitable way to contact her.
It wasn’t enough to just use the identity of Smiling San Sheng. What he needed was to intimidate her.
Even if his cultivation realm was higher than hers, he had to do something with the curse to show her that he wasn’t someone to mess with.
“Do you know who I am?” Shangguan Qingsu asked.
“Do you think you hid it that well?” Jiang Hao asked.
She was indeed good at hiding, but nothing was hidden from Smiling San Sheng.
Shangguan Qingsu was shocked.
She felt that he was lying to her.
She hesitated. “I did, but you still found me. I’m Shangguan Qingsu.”
Jiang Hao looked at her in amusement.
“If you hadn’t felt the benefits of my help, why would you be here?”
Shangguan Qingsu was surprised. She did not understand how she had been discovered.
“Senior, please forgive me. I only wanted to protect myself.” She lowered her head and apologized.
Jiang Hao didn’t mind. “What do you want from me?”
“I would like to ask for your help to remove the curse,” Shangguan Qingsu said. “I’m willing to pay any price.”
“That is impossible, at least for now.” Jiang Hao shook his head. “You don’t even know what the curse on your body is.”
“Do you know, Senior?” Shangguan Qingsu asked.
Jiang Hao smiled without saying anything.
He left her guessing.
There was no need for him to reveal it. If Gu Changsheng was also from their clan, it would be a big problem.
After all, there would always be people who worshiped the strongest. If there was any trouble, it would be bad.
He planned to suppress Gu Changsheng.
Some of them were eager for Gu Changsheng to make a comeback.
He couldn’t tell them that Gu Changsheng had a problem.
There were always people who thought differently.
The people from The End of All Things might release Gu Changsheng to the world if they knew about this.
The world would be plunged into chaos.
They wanted everything to end.
“If there’s no way to remove it, can it at least be suppressed?” Shangguan Qingsu asked.
Her real goal was that.
Even after so many years, the Shangguan Clan had not been able to think of any way to suppress it. They did not even dare to think about removing it.
“It’s not that I can’t, but…” Jiang Hao looked at Shangguan Qingsu. “Are you planning to deal with it alone or for your entire clan?”
“What?” Shangguan Qingsu was stunned. “Is there really a way to deal with the curse of the entire clan?”
“Don’t ask me. Just tell me whether you want it to be solved for just one person or the entire clan,” said Jiang Hao.
At that moment, Shangguan Qingsu fell silent. She thought for a long time. “If the solution is for the entire clan, what kind of price do we have to pay?”
She felt that this person had come for the entire clan.
“The price?” Jiang Hao fanned his hand and thought for a long time. “Maybe wait for my instructions from now on…”
“That…” Shangguan Qingsu frowned. “That is not something I can decide. I need to go back and discuss it with the clan.”
“Sure. I’m not in a hurry. Go back and ask.” Jiang Hao nodded.
He didn’t care if the Shangguan Clan would bow to him or not. He had asked for a big price anyway.
They might feel like he was trying to enslave the Shangguan Clan.
There was no need to say anything more. It had to be thought about long and hard. It wasn’t an easy decision to make.
“Then, how should I contact you?” Shangguan Qingsu asked.
Jiang Hao handed a ring to her.
“When you reach the West, place it in a safe place. When you’re done, you’ll know how to contact me.”
Shangguan Qingsu was a little puzzled as she took the golden ring.
Then, Jiang Hao taught her how to activate it.
This way, he could go directly to the Shangguan Clan. However, there was a problem.
He was missing a ring.
He had placed one in the Corpse Realm, another one in the courtyard, another one for Xiao Li, the spirit beast, another one in the West, one with Hong Yuye, and the last one with Shangguan Qingsu. He had used seven of them.
There was only one ring left.
He had to think of a way to get Xiao Li and the spirit beast back.
“Can I ask you a question?” Shangguan Qingsu said.
“Go on,” Jiang Hao said.
“If the Shangguan Clan refuses, can I continue to work with you?” Shangguan Qingsu asked.
“Really?” Jiang Hao smiled playfully.
Then, he disappeared on the spot. “Good luck.”
Shangguan Qingsu was a little surprised as she watched him leave. She had no idea how he had disappeared.
He hadn’t asked about Feng Hua even once. He had asked about her before.
“There’s another strange thing. I can’t see through his cultivation realm. It wasn’t like that before.”
Shangguan Qingsu frowned.
She did not think that he could surpass her in such a short period of time.
There was no one who could advance so quickly.
“It shouldn’t be possible.”
She repeated it to herself to convince herself.
