C1126 Mystery
Inside the thatched cottage, even though everything had been settled, Jiang Ting still did not leave immediately.
Liu Xue had already informed her master to come here, but they would still need three days to arrive. During this period, Jiang Ting protected Liu Xue throughout.
Three days later, when Jiang Ting had just woken up, he heard a knock on the door.
When he opened the door, he saw a woman in a white robe. Although her entire face was covered by a veil, he could still tell that she was a woman with a single glance from her beautiful figure.
Seeing Jiang Ting come out and open the door, the woman was not shocked at all, but she spoke indifferently.
"Where is Liu Xue now?"
Inside the house, Liu Xue who was busy running around hurried over.
"Master! "You're finally here!"
Hearing the way he addressed her, Jiang Ting secretly sized up the woman. Was this the expert that Liu Xue had mentioned before?
Needless to say, with his current strength, he was actually unable to see the depth of the other party's strength. This was rather strange …
"You must have suffered a lot during this period of time."
When she was facing Liu Xue, her attitude was much more gentle, forming a clear contrast compared to when she was talking to Jiang Ting.
Liu Xue shook her head: "I'm fine, it's all thanks to this Big Brother Jiang Ting!"
Indeed, if Jiang Ting had not appeared, perhaps she would have already been captured by the Windwolf King.
Jiang Ting scratched his head, just as he was about to accept the woman's thanks, he did not expect her to only say that one sentence.
"Alright, I understand."
After she finished, she patted Liu Xue's head and said, "Go outside and wait for me. I have something to say to him."
With regards to her master's words, Liu Xue still trusted them very much. She nodded and said, "Mn, I understand."
After she said that, she skipped out of the grass hut, and for a moment, Jiang Ting and the woman were the only ones left in the hut.
The lady looked at him, but did not say anything, which made Jiang Ting a little nervous.
Speaking of which, it was strange, Jiang Ting could not feel any Qi from this woman, no matter how strong or weak.
It was as if the person standing before him wasn't a human at all, but an illusory ghost.
Just like this, the strange atmosphere persisted for a long time, and in the end, Jiang Ting could not help but say this.
"Um, Senior, is there something you need to say to me?"
He didn't think that the woman in front of him was an ordinary person. The fact that he couldn't sense her aura only meant one thing. Her strength far exceeded his perception.
Thus, it was natural for him to address the other party as senior.
The girl continued to look at him for a while after hearing what he said. Finally, she flipped her palm.
"This Holy Spirit Bead will be treated as the reward for saving Liu Xue. The kindness between you and her will be written off immediately and there will be no more causality between them from now on. Do you understand?"
Hearing her words, Jiang Ting's face was filled with shock. What's going on? His reward?
To be honest, he felt that it would not be right if he did not repay Liu Xue for saving her life. But hearing the meaning behind his words, it seemed that Liu Xue had taken great advantage of him.
But for Jiang Ting, how could he not want the good stuff that had been delivered to his doorstep?
Therefore, he decisively accepted the so-called Holy Spirit Bead, and nodded: "Senior, you can rest assured. I never felt that Liu Xue owed me anything, and would never ask her to do anything for me in the future."
Only after hearing his guarantee did the woman's voice soften a bit. She nodded slightly and said, "That's good."
Then, he looked at Jiang Ting's hand and said: "Take this Holy Spirit Pearl properly, at a critical moment, I can save your life."
Hearing that, Jiang Ting looked at the bead in his hand in astonishment. In his eyes, this bead was extremely ordinary, yet it had such a powerful use?
However, it seemed like the other party would not lie to him without a reason. He felt somewhat happy in his heart.
But then, he suddenly thought of something and frowned, "Wait, senior, there's something I don't understand."
Before he could say anything, the woman had already said: "You want to ask, why is it that despite my strength being so strong, I am not helping the Human Clan to resolve the matter of the Monster race's invasion?"
Jiang Ting was stunned. "Senior, you know what I'm thinking?"
Just a moment ago, what he wanted to ask was indeed the truth.
The woman declined to comment and simply replied, "More or less."
And then he said, "My existence is something that the world cannot tolerate, let alone forcefully intervene in this place. The matters concerning the humans of this world should be dealt with by them. Moreover, don't they still have you? "
As the woman spoke to here, she suddenly smiled with a hint of playfulness in her voice, "As a human, you have the body of a dragon. Furthermore, you have the Nirvana Fire and your body is being supported by great luck. "
"Speaking of which, your existence should have been even more intolerable to this world than mine."
Although Jiang Ting didn't understand what she meant, he vaguely felt that he seemed to be praising him for being even stronger than her. Hmm, that's right, it must be the case.
Jiang Ting shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Even so, I still don't have a way to settle this between humans and demons. What's the use of it …"
Just based on how powerful he was, Jiang Ting knew very well what he was capable of.
The woman shook her head, "Don't worry, you will definitely be able to resolve this matter. You just have to be bold and do it."
After saying that, she looked out of the window and turned around, "Alright, my time is up. I'll leave first."
Seeing her leave, Jiang Ting nodded: "Goodbye senior!"
However, the woman stopped and turned her head to look at him. She mockingly said: "I sincerely hope that we will never meet again."
"Eh …"
Jiang Ting's face was full of awkwardness, but the other party had already left the thatched cottage.
"Disciple, it's time to leave."
In the end, before Jiang Ting could even say his goodbyes, the other party was brought away by the woman.
Jiang Ting looked around the dilapidated thatched cottage, and shook his head helplessly: "It seems that the peaceful days have come to an end."
After staying here for less than ten days, Jiang Ting had a feeling that things had changed for him.
During the time he had rested in Yuntian Village, he was even more relaxed and happy. However, he also knew that if he were to continue on like this, something would happen sooner or later. It was possible that the conflict between the Human Clan and the demon race would break out soon.
The current him, as a sharp knife in the depths of the enemy's heart, naturally had to display his role.
And the reason for this matter's breakthrough, was something that Jiang Ting thought about for a while. Finally, it was settled on the Thousand Goblins Array. If his previous guess was right, then could he get rid of the Demon Emperor after solving this Ten Thousand Goblins Array?
A Demon Emperor without power, or a Demon Emperor whose strength had been greatly reduced, would no longer have the ability to threaten their Human Clan.2
In the end, Jiang Ting decided that since he was going to do it, then he would do it!
Anyway, he temporarily had the identity of Dragon Clan as a cover up, so he didn't need to worry about being discovered.
Jiang Ting took one last look at the Cloud Tian Village, heaved a sigh of relief, and got up to leave.
