Chapter Twenty-Two: The Affairs of Qingyang

: "Give up. You don't belong in the same world. Even if you stand on your tiptoes, you won't reach." This has always been true, and it will only be truer in the future.Hu Shuanzi probably understood,...My swordsmanship is indeed worthy of being called the pinnacle of the era, a legacy passed down through generations.

With the cultivation base of a Forward-Rushing Dragon Realm expert, he could actually faintly sense Yin Guan's presence!

You have to know, Yin Guan was also at the top even outside the building's boundary, and he was still wearing his concealing garment.

Jiang Wang reached out and patted his shoulder, his voice directly reaching his ear: "He's a friend of mine, don't make a fuss. He won't harm anyone here."

On the surface, he smiled triumphantly and said, "How is it Do you feel the power of Master Jiang"

This conversation may not necessarily be sent out. Qi Guo's those blue cards, may not be so ubiquitous.

But Jiang Wang still had to strive for caution, making not the slightest mistake.

Even if he was ultimately exposed for helping Yin Guan escape, he at least had to ensure it wasn't because of his own carelessness. He could accept failure after giving his all, but he couldn't accept self-destruction due to negligence.

Heaven's will is unpredictable, but one should always do their best.

Although he usually appeared to be not very intelligent, his mind was sharp enough. Seeing Jiang Wang like this, he knew it was inappropriate to discuss it openly. He was also lazy and knowing that the person was brought by Jiang Wang, he immediately relaxed. He hung his lifeless eyes again and leaned back on the recliner.

"Whether it's strong or not, it's none of my business." He yawned and mumbled.

Jiang Wang really wanted to throw a glare of jealousy at him, to see if he was truly indifferent or just had a jealous heart hidden beneath.

It is said that "if one does not return home even after becoming rich and honored, it is like wearing fine robes and walking at night."

Please note that I only translated the text within the > tags, and left the HTML tags as they were.

Wearing fine clothes, of course, one should walk on the main road, so that everyone can see and admire.

In Linzi, there wouldn't be such a thought, but Qingyang Town was his fiefdom, meaning something different to him. And Xiangqian was also his friend.

Jiang Wang couldn't help but have a bit of youthful ambition. He wanted to reap the admiration of those close to him. Although he hadn't shown it along the way, deep down he had been looking forward to it for quite some time.

But now...

Jiang Wang glanced at Xiang Qian, who was still asleep, and couldn't help but grin.

He's now a famous prodigy known throughout the nation. How come this guy isn't even excited, not impressed at all

He had dead fish eyes and a dead fish face.

It's been a long time, how about we spar He thought resentfully.

Just as I was thinking, there came a crisp, clear sound.

“Master Jiang!”

Her petite figure almost leaped out the door and only stopped in front of Jiang Wang.

Dugu Xia looked up at Jiang Wang, her eyes filled with admiration. "You finally returned to Qingyang Town. Everyone missed you so much! You are so amazing! I even heard about your deeds in Rizhao County! They all say you are a genius!"

Things finally got back on track. After all, this is the proper way to return home in glory.

Still so cute!

“Cough.” Jiang Wang coughed politely. “I came back to have a look.”

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

"Be sure to come back often."

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

Dugu said in a low voice, then turned back and shouted: "Lord Jiang has returned, you blind fools, don't all come out to greet him"

>

Actually, when the noise was heard, others were also moving outwards, but Dugu Xiao, after all, had already surpassed ordinary people, his speed was much faster than theirs.

A group of town officials who were lagging behind rushed out, shouting: "Master Jiang is back!"

"Qianyang Town is proud of you!"

"You are the god of Qingyang Town!"

"Master Jiang, I always keep your teachings in mind."

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

I hung your portrait above my bed!

"You are the first person among the younger generation in Qi!"

"That's enough, that's enough." Jiang Wang was initially quite comfortable being praised, but the more he listened, the more something felt off. He quickly called a halt: "All of you, go back to your own work. Don't you have anything else to do Look at all of you, so free!"

What god of Qingyang Town, what first person among the young generation of Qi State. If this were to spread, there would be no shortage of trouble.

Shinto has long since declined. Now, those who practice Shinto must undergo national registration. Those who have not formally been registered are all considered evil deities. Jiang Wang doesn't practice Shinto, and that's fine too.

But that first person of the younger generation...

That was a real close one.

These officials were mostly those who had fought alongside Jiang Wang, having witnessed with their own eyes how he single-handedly overturned the Heavenly Gate during battle, crushing his enemies and shattering thousands of troops.

Because I was very close to him, I didn't hesitate to speak my mind.

And when Jiang Wang initially drove them away, they left immediately without hesitation.

At this time, another voice called out: "Lord Jiang."

It was Zhang Hai instead.

Jiang Wang originally thought he had left, but he didn't expect him to be there. However, the difference between him being there and not being there wasn't significant. The man was just a cultivator who lived day by day, regardless of where he was.

"It's Zhang Hai," Jiang Wang encouraged him with a nod.

At least people in his fiefdom were giving him some face. Jiang Wang could still handle this much.

After dealing with it, he asked Dugu Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, is my courtyard still empty"

“It's been kept here all along. Are you going to go there now”

"It's not appropriate to crowd here, it's affecting the town hall work, let's go talk in my courtyard." Jiang Wang shouted forward again: "Come along too."

Ahead, she ignored him and whatever he said, plugging her ears: “No.”

Jiang Wang forcibly pulled him: "Hurry up!"

"What are you talking about What could two big shots possibly have to say"

“Let me have a nap, I haven’t slept for six hours today and I’m exhausted…”

“Brother Jiang Sir Jiang Jiang!”

"Let go, let go..."

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

I was eventually dragged away.

While Dugu Xiao's smile was as bright as a flower, she followed behind him. She even jumped excitedly like a child.

Where is the usual composure and sternness one sees when he presides over daily affairs

Zhang Hai stood in the courtyard, watching the three of them leave. His mood was complicated.

Regret it

Of course.

Now, Jiang Wang is the hottest person in all of Qi. Everyone knows that a mere Qingyang Town could never be his final destination. His future is bright with unlimited possibilities. As long as he doesn't meet an untimely end, he will surely become a prominent figure in Qi in the future.

Haven't you seen how those local officials flatter Jiang Wang They shower him with praise, using every flowery and extravagant expression. Why Because no one is a fool. Everyone knows that following Jiang Wang is beneficial, with a promising future ahead.

Look again at Dugu Xiao, an ordinary maidservant, who is now extraordinary, holding the position of a town magistrate.

Xiang Qian was clearly highly trusted. Would Jiang Wang do anything in the future without him

And he, Zhang Hai, was the one who first worked with Xiang Qian alongside Jiang Wang.

Has anything changed from then to now

There is nothing.

Please note that the original text was empty. I have retained the HTML tags as requested.

It wasn't that Jiang Wang treated him harshly. His treatment in Qingyang Town wasn't bad, it was about the same as elsewhere.

But that's the problem—it's all the same.

Today's Dugu Xiao is completely different from the little maidservant of that time. They are worlds apart.

And he was already a transcendent cultivator, yet he remained much the same as before.

All of this is because, in the battle outside Qingyang Town, he chose to protect himself and retreat, while she, an ordinary woman, chose to fight...

The choices we make then lead to the results we have now. Life's circumstances often take a completely different turn in an instant.

"Forget it, nothing special. Time to go alchemy!"

As expected of a salted fish that's hard to tell apart from Zhang Hai, he quickly consoled himself.

"Just wait until I refine the ultimate divine elixir, hmph..."t me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!Because what he left behind was a real corpse, not a faked death. Even if someone were a true master alive today, they wouldn't be able...
