Chapter 356 Making a Decision
Three hours later, Lyu Liang and Wen Xiaojing appeared outside the Array of Gathering Treasures to Yang, at the same time, both of them looking very refreshed.
The two fierce fights before, except for the first one, had countless audiences, the one with Gorgeous Demon had not been seen by anyone, due to the powerful Bounded Domain space. People simply thought that they were taking the opportunity to recover inside that space.
“Taoism peer Lyu, you are so amazing!” With extremely flattering smiles on their faces, monk Tianhuang and monk Qi Ling came up to them as soon as they saw Lyu Liang and Wen Xiaojing coming out. They bowed directly to them and said, “If it were not for Taoism peers, this branch, I’m afraid, would have been destroyed!”
“This is what I’m supposed to do, as an alien minister of the Heavenly Alliance.” Lyu Liang waved his hand and smiled. Then he pointed at the big Formation Tao at the back and said, “If there hadn’t been the Array of Gathering Treasures to Yang, I would never have risked my life to do that. So, I also have to thank you for introducing this array to me, seniors!”
“Please don’t call us ‘senior’ again! We have already gone too far by addressing you as Taoism peer!” Monk Tianhuang hurriedly waved his hand. Then he turned to look at his colleague, who was also looking at him, and said loudly, “Congratulations, Taoism peer Lyu! Now, you are not only the high-ranked alien minister, we also have appointed you as the alien minister leader!”
“What? I’m a high-ranked alien minister now? Oh, thank you!” Although Lyu Liang had expected this decision, his eyes still brightened at the news, and he then bowed deeply to them.
After exchanging a few more cordial words, they were about to say goodbye, when Monk Tianhuang finally spoke the crucial sentence during this communication, “Well, when you have fully recovered, please go to Pan Gu Heavenly Alliance. Milord God Ancestor Night Dragon has been waiting for you for many days!”
“It seems that the final test for you is about to begin. According to my advice before, you should first go to… Well? What, what’s wrong?” Wen Xiaojing had been walking behind Lyu Liang, pondering and murmuring, but she suddenly hit a strong chest. Raising her head, she found that Lyu Liang was staring at her. She froze there subconsciously, and then immediately stepped back.
Without any word, Lyu Liang just bowed deeply, almost to the ground and said solemnly, “Xiaojing, anytime you need me, I will do anything for you!”
An imperceptible, complicated expression flashed in Wen Xiaojing’s eyes. She said lightly with her head down, “What are you doing? You saved my life, too. We were just cooperators as neither of us wanted to die. You are running out of time now, do you still want me to analyze the situation for you?”
When Wen Xiaojing said that, her heart palpitated for the first time. She did not know why, but when she saw the sincerity in Lyu Liang’s eyes, she actually felt a little ashamed and humble…
“Of course! I’m all ears!” Lyu Liang, at the time, did not notice the changes on her face at all. He quickly stood up and then stared at her expectantly.
“Okay, I’ll continue.” When Wen Xiaojing looked up again, she was back to her usual smart self and said lightly, “Before seeing Night Dragon, you have to see Purple Phoenix first. The goal is simple, to thank her for her kindness in giving you the damask. I know that you don’t like her due to the incident concerning Zhu Yu, but remember, what other people say about her, is none of your business. Think about the actual situation between the two of you. She has never done anything bad to you, right? So, just drop the resentment caused by Zhu Yu, and talk with her sincerely. After all, without this damask, there was no way for you to become a high-ranked alien minister at all.”
There seemed to be magic in Wen Xiaojing’s words, which struck Lyu Liang at once. He indeed started to ponder secretly, “It seems that no hostility has existed between me and Fairy Purple Phoenix . And I even saved her life by accident…”
“All right! I’ll do what you tell me! What should I do then?” Lyu Liang nodded. The eager look of Great Elder Green Dragon appeared in his head, so he immediately knew how to make a choice.
“Like I said, there is no need to pretend. Just be who you are.” Wen Xiaojing smiled, “and that’s your biggest advantage!”
“Huh?” Lyu Liang frowned. He rubbed his head and said, “Who I am? Well, like an idiot?”
Wen Xiaojing stared at Lyu Liang unblinkingly, until he blushed. Then she shook her head and said, “You… are the only genius with the lowest emotional intelligence I’ve ever seen. If you trust me, just do what I tell you.”
“Okay! If I do anything wrong when I am talking with Fairy Purple Phoenix, please remind me!” Lyu Liang nodded thoughtfully.
“… I will not be there. How will I remind you?” Now Wen Xiaojing was confused by him.
“What? Why? Where are you going, if you are not going with me?” Lyu Liang did not get what she meant, but he saw her expression. She looked like she was talking to the stupidest man in the world.
“You think it’s okay that I will be standing by your side when you two have a chat?” Wen Xiaojing was totally speechless. “In that place, I would be discovered even if I stay in the cave residence, so of course I should wait for you outside!”
“Oh, I get it!” Lyu Liang finally came around. He then turned around and said, “A long delay may cause trouble. Anyway, I’ve almost recovered. Let’s set off now! And I have to go tell those two old men first!” After an instantaneous flash, he was gone.
Looking at him disappearing, Wen Xiaojing laughed bitterly. She shook her head and murmured, “Is my choice right? Or, has my intelligence quotient also been brought down by him…”
Two hours later, Lyu Liang and Wen Xiaojing departed. At the same time, Fairy Purple Phoenix was walking around restlessly in a luxury cave residence in the division of Pan Gu Heavenly Alliance. She looked both excited and fearful, while her maidservant, Xiao Rong, was looking at her panic-stricken master speechlessly.
“… Miss! When Yao Wenlong came here and tried to make you happy last time, I did not see you behaving like this!” Xiao Rong frowned and said this helplessly.
“Yao Wenlong? He is nothing to me! But Lyu Liang… He, he is different. This is the first time that I feel so nervous… Xiao Rong, what should I do?” Fairy Purple Phoenix stopped pacing, but she still looked very anxious.
“… Miss! You are the daughter of God Ancestor Night Dragon! Lyu Liang is just a nobody, who is here to worship milord Night Dragon! You should feel more superior when facing him!” Xiao Rong was totally helpless, as she cried out to remind her miss.
“I, I know… But, but…” Fairy Purple Phoenix was startled by Xiao Rong and froze, but then a frightened expression appeared again on her face, and she muttered, “Will he, come to see me?”
“… I’ll go and clean the room, in order to welcome that future son-in-law, respectfully!” Xiao Rong gave a bitter laugh and bowed gently, “Miss, you’d better calm down as soon as possible!” After she finished speaking, she disappeared in an instant.
Fairy Purple Phoenix suddenly steadied herself. With a complex expression in her eyes, she muttered, “Lyu Liang, what should I do, to let you know that I like you… Besides, the changes of my body… Dad, is there anything you have not told me…”
At the same time, the situation was completely settled in the Sanctuary of the space of Goddess Nyu Wa. When the leader of the Ji Clan, Ji Fa, led the remaining clansmen to raise their arms down in surrender, the Jiang Clan was in full control of everything.
The Black Front troop had been attacking the outside bone wall of the core secret realm in the Jiang Clan valiantly, but when their leader surrendered, they gave up their fight, and were taken in later by the best troop of the Jiang Clan called Dark Blood.
At that time, Jiang Yinglong and Lin Qiangu were standing face to face inside the mansion of the Jiang Clan, talking about something.
“… You are still insisting on that? You should know that your Limitation Bounds of Blood is not a secret anymore! Since the body of the first ancestor has already appeared in the world, I’m sure those from the Buzhou Mountain have already gone outside secretly! You…” Jiang Yinglong frowned. The he gritted his teeth and said, “Fine! If you want to go down, I’ll let Chi Xiao take his guys to go with you! Anyway, nothing would happen for the moment…”
“That’s not necessary! Now the situation in the Sanctuary has been generally settled. The Ji Clan has surrendered, but not all their people are dead. And the Yao Clan would also have been planning something, instead of waiting for death. So, the elites of the Dark Blood should stay with you. There is no need to trouble my family with my own business.” Lin Qiangu waved her hand, directly interrupting him.
“Family! Qiangu! Am I your family?” At this time, a rough voice could be heard outside the door, which was filled with excitement. Then Jiang Wuhuan walked in happily.
Lin Qiangu was dumbfounded at first, but then she muttered while lowering her head, “… If you want to take it that way, that’s fine with me.”
“You want to go down to find Xiaojing, right? Go ahead. Everything is settled here. There is nothing to worry about. If anything goes wrong here, Yinglong and his friends will take care of it. The Ji Clan or the Yao Clan, they are unlikely to make a great trouble!” Jiang Wuhuan said directly, totally ignoring the angry expression of his son, and made the decision.
“Well… Thanks…” Lin Qiangu’s eyes brightened. After she said that, she directly disappeared after an instantaneous flash.
“Hahaha! She didn’t call me ‘Boss Jiang’! Son, did you hear that!!!” Jiang Wuhuan laughed heartily, while patting his son heavily, who was also looking quite pleased.
Jiang Yinglong groaned in pain, and then said with a smart look in his eyes, “Dad, maybe, it’s time for us to proceed to the next step! Apparently, little sister is gradually accepting the fact that she is one of us!”
“Get out! She has always been my daughter! Why do you use the word ‘accept’?” Jiang Wuhuan glared at his son, but then he also nodded with a smile and said, “But, you are right! After all, since the girl of the Zheng Family has given up the tile ‘Illusory Sea’, it’s time to give it to a new master!”
“By the way, dad, now the situation here has already been settled. I want to take Chi Xiao to the space of Goddess Nyu Wa, to see the little girl of the Liu Family.” Jiang Yinglong said respectfully. Then his eyes suddenly brightened, and he said, “Well, talking about her, she seems to have a history with Lyu Liang too! Well, his luck with women is one thing that I’ll never have!”
“Come on, everyone knows that Wen Xiaojing is your only love! If you are willing to pay a little more attention to other women, you will attract much more affection than him! That’s because you are just like your father!” Jiang Wuhuan bragged. Then he said sharply, “Are you sure you can get it?”
“Haha, maybe. I need to have a try first, right?” Jiang Yinglong nodded. Laughing loudly at the same time, he said, “In the past, I did not think there would be a problem. But now, facing a person who is related to Lyu Liang, I dare not say that! But, anyway, before those who also know the core secrets about the ring take action, I have to get the Dragon Ring first!”
