Chapter 8 The Lobbyist
Bid farewell to the thousands of thanks to those parents, declined the gift, and the two returned to Yuan Wuxing's small courtyard.
"I think you're pretty good at talking when you're facing me. Why don't you talk when you're in the hall? Maybe the Lord Zeng didn't notice you at all."
Yuan Wuxing scratched his head and laughed, "I'm timid, I haven't seen such a scene before, and my head was a little dazed for a while."
Jiang Li laughed dumbfounded: "You spent ten years investigating this behemoth of the Jiang family, knowing that the hope is slim but still persevering. If someone says you are not determined, he must have no eyes, but you are timid when it comes to critical moments. It is the same in the Jiang family today, and it is the same in the hall. It is the same when you tried to break through the Yuanying. My Dao sect pays attention to the dual cultivation of life and soul, but now you are only cultivating your nature, not your life."
Yuan Wuxing is like being struck by lightning.
I am indeed like what Jiang Li said, when I break through the Nascent Soul, I always hesitate, and my thoughts are as noisy as the sea. I think that I am still young anyway, so why should I risk my life and Dao to break through? Isn’t it good to break through after a hundred years? As a result, I was only one step away from breaking through the Nascent Soul several times, but it always ended in failure.
"Thank you for your teaching, senior." Yuan Wuxing bowed respectfully to Jiang Li, who just smiled and said nothing.
Yuan Wuxing remembered something, and asked anxiously: "Senior Zhang, I suspect that the Jiang family will send someone to that space to destroy the evidence, let's stop it!"
"I'm afraid they won't go to that space, otherwise how can we make things worse?" Jiang Li signaled Yuan Wuxing to calm down, but didn't tell him the reason. Yuan Wuxing really believed Jiang Li's words and calmed down.
Obviously the two had only been together for one day, but Yuan Wuxing began to believe in Jiangli for no reason.
"But Mr. Zhang Li and Mr. Yuan Wuxing?" There was a knock on the door.
The knock on the door was very soft. After finishing speaking, no one in the room responded, so he didn't repeat himself. He just stood respectfully outside the door. It could be seen that the person was very polite.
Yuan Wuxing opened the door, shaking his hand uncontrollably, and resisted not to make a move.
"I know that I am ashamed of the common people. If I can beat this old man up and relieve Mr. Yuan Wuxing's hatred, I will have nothing to say."
Patriarch Jiang stood outside the door leaning on crutches, with drooping eyelids, apologetic. He met an enemy at the peak of Jindan and a peak of Nascent Soul with the cultivation base of Jindan stage, but there was no follower behind him.
Yuan Wuxing doesn't hate Patriarch Jiang. If Jiang Yixing is the culprit, then Patriarch Jiang is the biggest helper. The deaths of those babies can definitely be blamed on Patriarch Jiang.
"What are you doing here, threatening us?"
Yuan Wuxing didn't make a move after all, he just sarcastically smiled and sat down on the chair, drinking tea in big gulps.
He didn't dare to do anything, who knows what kind of tricks this old guy has, so that he can make troubles without making troubles.
Unexpectedly, after the patriarch Jiang entered the house, he threw away his crutches and knelt on the ground, which startled Yuan Wuxing, who almost lost his teacup.
Jiang Li looked at Patriarch Jiang with great interest, wanting to see what tricks this junior could play for him.
"Although the ancestors were wrong, no matter how big the fault is, it is no bigger than the Emperor. If the news of the Emperor's cousin's practice of magic is spread throughout the Kyushu, how will the world feel, it is inevitable that there will be grievances. If there are people with a heart to fuel the flames, it will have a great impact on the reputation of the Emperor!"
"I know that the two of you are righteous people who care about the common people. My Jiang family is just a villain behind the scenes, but we have the same position towards the Heavenly Demon. I also ask the two of you to think about the billions of souls in Kyushu. That's all, I would like to thank the two gentlemen here!"
After finishing speaking, Patriarch Jiang kowtowed three times directly, and there were three muffled sounds, with blood on his forehead. When he got up and looked up, tears were streaming down his face.
Yuan Wuxing was infected by patriarch Jiang's sincere words and actions, and unconsciously thought in his heart that this matter should be forgotten, and it would not be good to have any influence on the emperor.
Take a step back and say, even if the emperor practiced the magic way, so what, he was doing it to fight against the demons, for the common people in the world.
Yuan Wuxing was really about to be persuaded by Patriarch Jiang. After all, what Patriarch Jiang said was reasonable, and what he said was shaking the Emperor's belief was possible.
The strength of the Human Sovereign lies half in its own tyrannical strength, and the other half is because the Human Sovereigns of all generations have faith blessings. When the two are multiplied, the power of the Human Sovereign has reached an extremely terrifying level. Although he has not become a fairy, he is better than a fairy.
The space outside Kyushu is chaotic, and there can be an attack from an extraterrestrial demon in hundreds of years, but every time it will bring Kyushu the danger of extinction. As the top expert in Kyushu, the Human Sovereign bears the brunt of fighting against the demons.
If Jiang Renhuang fell in the battle with the demon in the future because of the decline of his faith, then he, Yuan Wuxing, would really feel guilty for the rest of his life.
"Patriarch Jiang's words are reasonable. It's just that since the Jiang family knew that it might shake people's belief in the Emperor, why did they sacrifice the baby?"
Patriarch Jiang said in shame: "The ancestors were greedy for the prosperity of the world, and wanted to break through the Nascent Soul. Let's wait a few more days. Whoever would have thought that a mistake would cause eternal hatred, and it would be difficult to turn back."
Jiang Li was greatly surprised: "What did the chief of the Jiang family say? The Jiang family intends to turn around. How can I not do it?"
Patriarch Jiang was overjoyed. Such self-proclaimed righteous people really can't coerce and lure them. They have to be persuaded with righteousness.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Li continued: "Even if Yuan Wuxing and I don't sue the Jiang family anymore, other monks will come to investigate this matter. I will show the Jiang family a way. According to the laws of the Great Zhou, dead people should not be held accountable. Jiang Yixing should correct his mistakes and commit suicide."
Patriarch Jiang had a stiff smile on his face, and for a moment he didn't know what to say in rebuttal.
Indeed, as long as the ancestor dies, the matter will be settled, but how is this possible, I am here to act so that you will stop making trouble, how can I act so that my ancestor died!
"Mr. Zhang Li was joking."
"It's just a word from the heart."
Patriarch Jiang's face was so gloomy that water dripped out, and he slowly got up, no longer having the previous compassionate gesture.
"It seems that Mr. Zhang Li really wants to settle this matter."
Yuan Wuxing realized that he had been pretending before, and then he was afraid for a while. This kind of old fox is really scary. He really can't believe a word or a expression. Fortunately, there is Senior Zhang Li.
"It's not a big deal, I just like to do things from beginning to end, Patriarch Jiang, please."
Patriarch Jiang snorted coldly, waved his sleeves and left.
