Chapter 126: Contentment

ster there We don't know anything about this Mr. Jiang – his character and intentions are unknown. What if…"“Do you really need to say that I don’t understand!” Hu Shaomeng glared at him, causing his...Seeing that Jiang Wang turned to face him, Du Ruhui remained calm and continued his words: "The states of Zhuang Yong have long had a deep connection, like branches of the same tree. There are only occasional minor frictions between them, nothing serious enough to lead to war. What do you think"

Jiang Wang had imagined countless times what Du Ruhui would look like, but none of them were like this.

Such an unprepared encounter, so close, so sudden.

He strained to make himself calmer, more composed, forcing down the tempest raging within him. He countered with a question: "Master, are you addressing me"

Du Ruhui smiled, his smile was warm and kind, like an elder from home: "Besides you and me, are there other people here"

“If you ask me... I don't know.” Jiang Wang shook her head. “Whether the Zhuang Yong and two countries will fight or not, I don’t care. Compared to that, I am more concerned about the monsters in the Qi Chang Mountains, and more concerned about the Kai Mai Dan.”

"Is that so" Du Ruhui looked at him. "I see that your cultivation is not weak, and you have been staying here for a long time. I thought you were very concerned about the conflict between Zhuang Yong."

"Well, Father-in-law, you jest. I was just casually taking a look."

Du Ruhui chatted for a couple of sentences and suddenly said, “Who do you represent when you come to inspect this terrain”

Jiang Wang frowned: "Father-in-law, I really don't know what you want to ask. Look at me, I'm so young. To say I'm a child wouldn't be an exaggeration. Who could I possibly represent"

“Then I’ll ask you a different question.” Du Ruhui remained unmoved, continuing to stare at him: “Where are you from, young man”

Jiang Wang knew this was the key to the question.

Don't be fooled by this old man's current gentleness and kindness. Once he deems someone a threat to the State of Chu, he will show no mercy.

"Lingxiao Pavilion."

Jiang Wangxi treasured words like gold. In the presence of someone like Du Ruhui, even when she had to respond, it was best to speak less and make fewer mistakes.

Du Ruhui slightly tilted his head, as if he had thought of something.

Jiang Wang noticed that Du Ruhui had loosened the hand behind his back. Perhaps this was intentional, meant to draw his attention.

"Zhiyun Mountain" Du Ruhui asked.

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

Most people know about Chiyun Mountain, but few know what lies within. In the presence of figures like Du Ruhui, the hidden connection between Chiyun Mountain and Lingxiao Pavilion should not be a secret.

Jiang Wang knew that Du Ruhui was testing to see if he truly came from the Lingxiao Pavilion. He called it traveling together, but in reality, it was escorting him. If he were proven to have nothing to do with the Lingxiao Pavilion, then the vast expanse of mountains below would likely bury his bones at any moment.

Though my heart was pounding with anxiety, I maintained a composed facade: "As you command, Elder. I will not refuse."

“You seem a little tense,” Du Ruhui asked.

Jiang Wang let out a wry smile: "It's hard not to be nervous in front of such a strong person as you."

Du Ruhui remained noncommittal: "It's been a long time since I last visited the Lingxiao Pavilion. Please, younger brother, lead the way ahead."

Jiang Wang let out a breath, then turned and flew away rapidly.

Before Du Ruhui, he had absolutely no chance to escape. There was no room for resistance. He was now just thankful that he hadn't casually said a place.

Coming from Lingxiao Pavilion, it's not a lie after all.

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

After returning to Yun Guo from the Qishan Mountains, Du Ruhui occasionally said a few words along the way, but none of them were particularly important. He seemed like an ordinary lonely old man, just idly chatting with someone out of boredom.

Jiang Wang dared not judge nor take it lightly. He firmly grasped the principle of cherishing words like gold, speaking as little as possible and leaving anything ambiguous to pass ambiguously. Thus, he endured the hardship until they reached Baixue Mountain.

The capital of the Cloud Nation, the beautiful city of Yun Cheng, is situated atop this mountain.

Perhaps because of Du Ruhui's influence, before they even approached, they saw clouds churning and Ye Lingxiao stepping out from the cloud sea.

He glanced at Jiang Wang and then turned to Du Ruhui: "As the Grand Minister of the Imperial Court, how could you have time to visit this humble monastery"

Du Ruhui smiled and said, "I heard that the master of Lingxiao Pavilion has seen through the true nature of things. This old man specially came to congratulate you."

Both parties were very polite and complimentary towards each other.

"If you're here for this matter, your news is rather slow." Ye Lingxiao smiled.

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

“The Zhuang nation is small and weak, naturally unable to compare with the Lingxiao Pavilion in terms of information flow.” Du Ruhui glanced at Jiang Wang, his words carrying a hint: “You all seem to know everything about our Zhuang nation’s affairs.”

“Oh How so”

"Besides joy, there's nothing else in my mind." Du Ruhui beamed with a smile: "Your Majesty sending such a gifted disciple as yourself to pay attention to the affairs of the State of Zhuang is truly an honor for a humble servant like me."

Ye Lingxiao glanced at Jiang Wang, roughly understanding what was going on. He didn't expose it, but said: "What, people from my Lingxiao Pavilion are not allowed to pass through Zhuang Guo"

"Of course not." Du Ruhui shook his head. With Ye Lingxiao's words, he no longer had to suspect Jiang Wang.

...nor would it be worth offending Ye Lingxiao for this.

He knew Ye Lingxiao's temper, so he skipped over the matter and sighed: "It's been years since we last met, we are indeed growing apart."

Ye Lingxiao sneered: "Besides being busy exorcising demons and upholding justice, you also didn't forget to guide Ou Yanglie to interfere with my breakthrough. Lao Du, how can we not become estranged"

Du Ruhui sighed: "If I said I knew nothing about it, you probably wouldn't believe me."

"Some things are not about whether you're willing or not, but whether you're able to do them." Ye Lingxiao looked at him. "Do you remember this saying"

There seems to be a story between the two bigwigs. Jiang Wang pursed his lips tightly, observing calmly without saying a word.

Du Ruhui was silent for a moment: "No matter what, the fact that you can see through the truth, I am truly happy for you."

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

Looking at him, he was clearly a body of gold and jade, indestructible. Yet, there were traces of aging that couldn't be concealed. Ye Lingxiao retracted the sharp edges in his aura and said, "The Zhuang Nation has delayed you."

Both were dressed in white, Du Ruhui in a white robe and Ye Lingxiao in white clothes. One was old and weary, with tired eyes, while the other was handsome and dignified, aloof and ethereal.

But Du Ruhui smiled very calmly: "If one has not been a fish, how can they know the joy of being a fish"

Ye Lingxiao flicked his finger, and from somewhere unknown, a fish leaped out of the water, soaring into the air to land right in front of him. Its scales fell off, its organs vanished...

He turned his head to Jiang Wang and said, "Can you have a little foresight"

Only then did Jiang Wang emerge from his state of watching the play, realizing that he too was a performer on stage. With tact, he conjured a flame ordinary in size and carefully roasted the fish stripped clean.

Ye Lingxiao looked at Du Ruhui again, his smile becoming more sincere: “I'm not that fish, but I think it must be unhappy right now. What do you think”

As for Ye Lingxiao's malicious provocation, Du Ruhui showed no annoyance, only saying, "I find pleasure in it."
