Chapter 339 Minjiang
Chongcheng, a branch of the True God Sect, is located in the main hall and secret chamber.
Hong Shun sat on a chair next to the dragon statue, coldly watching the immortal couple enter the secret chamber.
The female immortal, rumored to be ruthless and heartless, abandoning her husband and children, was now holding hands with their Fengshen Hall Master, their fingers intertwined, looking very affectionate.
The rumor is false.
As Shen Yao and Jiang Ming approached, Hong Shun nodded to Jiang Ming in greeting, then glanced at Shen Yao, snorted coldly, and turned his head away.
Shen Yao was displeased by this behavior.
Who does Hong Shun think he is? What business is it of hers?
He would glare at her and act as if he were seriously ill whenever he saw her.
If the person in question is willing to do it, then who is he standing up for?
"Hall Master Hong." Shen Yao stopped, determined to resolve this trouble: "We are both Immortal Ancestors. Tomorrow afternoon, in the plaza outside the main hall, Hall Master Hong, do you dare accept my challenge?"
Why would Hong Shun submit to her?
He blew on his beard: "Hmph, this hall master will not compete with a little girl."
The meaning is clear: even though they are both immortal ancestors, he looks down on her.
Shen Yao touched her storage ring, took out paper and pen, made them float in the air, and controlled the ink pen to write a 'challenge letter': "This immortal is forty-two years old this year and has been cultivating for twenty-five years. Hall Master Hong, you wouldn't dare to accept the challenge, would you?"
"Ha." Hong Shun sneered loudly, "She's only cultivated for twenty-five years, yet she dares to challenge me? Hall Master Jiang, are you just going to spoil her like this?"
Jiang Ming gave Shen Yao plenty of face. He didn't answer Hong Shun, but said gently to Shen Yao, "Yao Yao, if he dares to accept, you can just spar, but don't kill him."
Shen Yao nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, I won't kill him."
They were both so angry that Hong Shun laughed.
Hong Shun raised his hand to accept the challenge: "Alright, I accept the challenge. I'm heavy-handed, so don't cry if I hurt you."
Shen Yao's aura was in no way inferior to his: "Hall Master Hong, you don't need to worry too much. No matter how badly you are injured, your medical expenses will be covered."
After saying that, she put away her cold and stern expression, adopted a gentle demeanor, hugged Jiang Ming and gave him a kiss, and said in a sweet voice, "Brother Jiang Ming, let's go."
Jiang Ming loved her deliberate mannerisms; she was arrogant, unrestrained, and made no attempt to hide them.
He really liked it.
Hand in hand, they entered the portal, passed through the cyan portal, and walked a few steps in the obsidian passage before Shen Yao let go of his hand.
She hesitated and tried to negotiate: "When we get to Jinliju, can we keep our distance and not let everyone know?"
The attitude is very clear: this relationship cannot be made public.
They successfully angered Jiang Ming.
Is it not enough that he's ranked third?
Should we keep him hidden and not make him public?
He couldn't stand this humiliation: "Why should I?"
Shen Yao stammered, "I'm afraid Yunhe won't be able to accept it..."
“If I can accept it, why can’t he?” He forcefully took her hand back and pulled her toward the stone gate: “If you can’t accept it, then let him get lost.”
It's best if they leave in anger.
He wasn't happy about it.
The Koi Residence was unusually quiet, with only six light-energy puppets dutifully guarding the stone entrance.
The front and back yards were empty. Shen Yao went upstairs and looked around, but no one was there.
Even the kitchen staff were nowhere to be found.
It's strange. It's normal that Xianyu, Aluo, and Ameng aren't here, but why aren't Fengyu and Tu Xiaoxiao here either?
She told Jiang Ming to wait in the lobby and went to the carving room alone.
The carving studio was also empty.
Thinking back to her dream from the previous night, she felt panicked and hurriedly took out her communication token to send a message to Tu Xiaoxiao.
She sat up and stood up intermittently, feeling anxious and uneasy.
Fortunately, Tu Xiaoxiao replied quickly. It turned out that they were all in the main hall of the Mingshan Sect, entertaining Gou Yue's friends.
Shen Yao then took Jiang Ming to the main hall of the Mingshan Sect.
They met Feng Yu and Tu Xiaoxiao on the way.
When Tu Xiaoxiao saw Shen Yao and Jiang Ming holding hands, she understood that the father of the child had been recognized.
Shen Yao met Feng Yu's gaze and felt guilty. She immediately tried to pull her hand away, but Jiang Ming held on tightly and wouldn't let her.
Jiang Ming remained calm, staring intently at Feng Yu's face, his expression revealing a hint of provocation.
Feng Yu's heart was already shattered into pieces.
Looking at their tightly clasped hands, many details of past memories in Feng Yu's mind were pieced together, and they were not entirely without clues.
Tu Xiaoxiao was right after all; she liked Jiang Ming.
He should have thought of this five years ago, when she was worried that Jiang Ming would die after leaving Chongcheng.
Can love exist even across blood feuds?
Is Jiang Ming really that good?
Feng Yu didn't understand, nor did she want to understand.
He stood there, watching their clasped hands, motionless.
He remained still, so everyone kept the status quo, neither moving nor speaking, waiting for him to react first.
Tu Xiaoxiao's teaching these past few days has paid off; Feng Yu hasn't gotten stuck on trivial matters.
He thought a lot about it, and finally concluded that at least Yanzhou's inner knot was untied, and the hatred was completely eliminated so that it wouldn't get into her heart again, which was a good thing for her.
He compromised just like that.
He walked up to Shen Yao, took her other hand, suppressed his surging emotions, and asked gently, "Yanzhou, are you still angry with me?"
His jade-like hand held hers tightly, and Shen Yao shook her head: "I'm not angry anymore."
"It's good that you're not angry anymore." Feng Yu responded calmly, then fell silent again.
After waiting for a moment, Tu Xiaoxiao stepped forward and broke the silence: "Yaoyao, many sea monsters have come today. The Mingshan Sect is holding a matchmaking event."
"A matchmaking event?" Shen Yao asked疑惑地, "The Mingshan Sect is holding a matchmaking event, what are you two going there for?"
"Let's go see the excitement." Feng Yu pulled her around and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see the excitement."
The Mingshan Sect was bustling with activity, with colorful lanterns and garlands hanging everywhere.
It was just dusk, and a banquet was being held in the main hall.
The number of sea monsters that came was enormous, and the entire plaza of the main hall was covered with their mats.
The square was covered with a circular mat, with a circular open space in the middle, where many demons sang and danced.
They landed at the entrance of the main hall, and as soon as Jiang Ming appeared, the surroundings gradually quieted down.
Many demonic cultivators from the Mingshan Sect had seen him during the Battle of Chongcheng.
Jinli Residence was remote. Before, when Jiang Ming traveled to and from Jinli Residence, apart from Ning Yuan, Gou Yue, A Meng, A Luo, and the servants inside Jinli Residence, no other demonic cultivators knew about it.
His sudden appearance quickly drew the attention and vigilance of the demonic cultivators.
"He is Jiang Ming of the True God Sect!"
A demonic cultivator shouted at the entrance of the main hall.
Immediately, another demonic cultivator echoed, "It is indeed Jiang Ming."
Even though Jiang Ming came with Shen Yao and the others, demonic cultivators still surrounded him, shouting and threatening to kill him: "Jiang Ming, how dare you come to the Underworld Mountain Sect!"
"Everyone, attack together and kill him to avenge him!"
Hearing the commotion, Ning Yuan and Gou Yue left their seats hand in hand and walked out of the hall.
Before they even reached the door, they heard Jiang Ming shout, "I am not Jiang Ming."
Shen Yaofeng, Yu and Tu Xiaoxiao were stunned. What was he up to?
The demonic cultivators refused to believe it: "You're lying! You're clearly Jiang Ming! I saw you during the great battle!"
"Yes, I've met you before. You are Jiang Ming."
Jiang Ming held Shen Yao's hand and raised it high: "You've mistaken me for someone else. My name is Min Jiang, and I'm her husband."
Gou Yue was speechless, and suddenly recalled the scene from back then when Jiang Ming tricked her into giving him the Demon Spirit Soil and the Crimson Cloud Flower.
She and Ning Yuan were once again amazed by Jiang Ming's shamelessness.
Jiang Ming, with a calm and composed expression, said to Shen Yao, "Wife, please testify for me, I am really not Jiang Ming."
