Chapter 407: People Change
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
For the next half month, Jiang Hao sold talismans.
Unfortunately, after Senior Brother Duan, his sales weren’t doing well.
He happened to know his name, and it seemed that he was indeed an alchemist.
Moreover, his status was not low. Otherwise, with that mouth of his, it would bring him a lot of trouble.
In the past half month, he had only earned a total of 1,500 spirit stones.
After that, he sold some ordinary yet valuable items, which were left behind by Yu Xuan and Bai Ji.
The total amount of spirit stones he had was 6,235 spirit stones.
If it weren’t for Duan Guan, his earnings would have been half.
Although his words were harsh, he was wealthy and generous.
Unfortunately, he didn’t encounter such opportunities often.
During this month, there had been no news about the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl.
It seemed that the information hadn’t been leaked yet, and he didn’t know how long it could be kept hidden.
Once Xiao Li and the others headed to the eastern region, he could set up a teleportation formation there. In case there were real problems in the future, he could escape there.
However, there were too many experts over there. Once the teleportation formation was taken by someone, it would deactivate, and he wouldn’t be able to use it to escape.
He would have lost a valuable resource.
The sect decided to depart in early September.
The heads of the three main branches would lead the teams. Those ranches were the Cliff of Broken Hearts, the Heavenly Joy Pavilion, and the Law Enforcement Hall.
For a while, Jiang Hao began to understand why his master had asked him to go with them.
With the Master of the Law Enforcement Hall present, he would naturally be under his surveillance, and he could stay there for as long as needed.
As for the Master of the Heavenly Joy Pavilion, he couldn’t attack him with the other masters around. As long as he performed well and the master was willing to speak for him, he was safe from danger, and he might also be removed from the suspect list of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Regrettably, he had declined the offer.
His master had intended to lend him a helping hand, but he lacked the determination.
Although it was somewhat regrettable, he still hoped to ease the resentment in the heart of the person from Heavenly Joy Pavilion. Only in that way could he be completely safe.
Now that person was heading to the Bright Moon Sect, and they probably wouldn’t return for a year or more.
He could feel a bit more at ease.
In the afternoon, Jiang Hao sought out Chu Chuan.
Before their departure, there were some things he wanted to discuss with him.
“Are you going to test me this time?” Chu Chuan asked with excitement.
Chu Chuan shouted loudly and attacked.
He used fist techniques and spells. He constantly switched between them and did it fast. His awareness was strong, and his attacks were strong. He balanced offense and defense well, and his techniques were quite good.
Although there were some flaws, it was quite impressive.
After his opponent exhausted his moves, Jiang Hao began to counterattack.
Every move struck Chu Chuan’s weakest points. He didn’t use much force, just enough to let him feel it.
After a while, Chu Chuan collapsed to the ground.
In the first half of the fight, he felt joy, but now, he only felt pain.
It was really tormenting.
“Actually, you did quite well. Who taught you those spells and techniques?” Jiang Hao asked curiously.
“Lord Beast taught me. Senior Brother Cheng gave me some guidance too, and I also figured out some myself,” Chu Chuan said as he sat up.
Jiang Hao nodded.
The beast was taking its job seriously.
“Did you come here because of the matter with the Bright Moon Sect, Senior Brother Jiang?” Chu Chuan was curious.
“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded. “There are a few things I need to talk to you about.” “Is it to tell me not to tell Chu Jie anything about you?” asked Chu Chuan.
Jiang Hao shook his head. “Not really.”
Chu Chuan looked puzzled. If not that, then what?
After a moment of silence, Jiang Hao asked, “How long have you been in the sect?”
“Six years, ” Chu Chuan said.
“How many years apart were you and Chu Jie when you parted ways?” Jiang Hao asked again.
“I was ten years old, and Chu Jie was nine.” Chu Chuan was puzzled for a moment.
“Do you know what kind of sect the Bright Moon Sect is?”
“It is extremely powerful.”
“Yes, extremely powerful. One of the strongest sects there is. And Chu Jie is a disciple of that sect. She is not an ordinary disciple, but one of the gifted ones.”
Jiang Hao lowered his head. “Six years ago, you were just children and living your ordinary lives. But from the moment she entered the Bright Moon Sect, she became a treasure of that sect. Do you understand what I’m trying to say?” Chu Chuan shook his head. “I don’t understand.”
“During these six years, Chu Jie was far from the servant girl you knew. She is now the most prominent disciple of the Bright Moon Sect. She is admired and respected by thousands of people. Her insights and perspectives will undergo drastic changes in such an environment.”
Jiang Hao looked at Chu Chuan.
“Do you mean that Chu Jie might have changed?” Chu Chuan asked.
“Given the circumstances, she probably hasn’t,” Jiang Hao said. “She sent Fang Jin to look for you, after all. However, her unintentional words or actions might make you realize the gap between you two. You need to accept that, even if it isn’t her intention. Moreover, she’s in the Bright Moon Sect. Even though it is an immortal sect, there is no lack of jealousy among people. If someone like Chu Jie is close to you, it will invite prejudice and malice. You need to be able to handle that.”
“How should I handle it?” Chu Chuan was completely clueless.
“Hide your true abilities, act when the time is right, see through people’s faults without making a fuss, sense deception without getting angry, be as inscrutable as water, and as steady as a mountain,” said Jiang Hao. “Always
keep your mind calm, and let it guide your actions.”
Chu Chuan might not be crushed by any hardships, but he might attract trouble and meet an early demise.
Teaching him when to advance and when to retreat would prevent him from getting into trouble.
He had to grow up eventually.
Although this was the demonic sect, Xiao Li and the beast made sure to provide guidance for Chu Chuan.
There were benefits, but also drawbacks.
He didn’t understand the complexities of human emotions and the cunning of the human heart.
Even if he reached eighteen by the time he entered the Bright Moon Sect, he still wouldn’t understand many things.
And his unwillingness to comply might invite trouble, which could lead to fatal consequences.
This restraint might be a good way for him to become stronger, but it could also easily ruin him.
Anger and humiliation might make him stronger, but does he want to live his whole life in that kind of anger?
Acting when the time is right and resolving everything with the force of thunder while trying to make others let go of their grievances toward them was the right thing to do.
When Jiang Hao left, Chu Chuan was already back to practicing his moves.
No setback could break him.
Otherwise, Jiang Hao wouldn’t have said so much.
The next day, Jiang Hao saw Liu Xingchen.
He was momentarily stunned when he saw that Liu Xingchen was at the late stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm. ‘What happened?’
He used the Daily Appraisal.
[Liu Xingchen: True Disciple of the Heavenly Faction. Born with the aura of a dragon. An undercover agent of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Heavenly Note Sect. Seeing that the three of the remnant souls had recovered significantly but hadn’t made a move against him, he was bored. To motivate them, he took three bites and devoured half of them. He pretended not to notice the rest. He hopes they will start planning possession of his body due to the crisis. He’s here to bid farewell to you, but he feels regretful because he feels there is no one as interesting as you.]
‘Farewell?’ Jiang Hao was surprised. ‘Is he going back?’
He also felt a bit disappointed.
Liu Xingchen’s presence had indeed been of tremendous help to him. Even though his departure wouldn’t have a huge impact, it would certainly be inconvenient for Jiang Hao.
However, the fact that the three of the remnant souls had never taken action was truly disappointing.
Perhaps the three were wary of each other, and no one dared to make the first
move.
Unfortunately, it seemed he wouldn’t be able to see what happens next..
