C3547 The Unpredictable Is the Human Heart
The old ancestor of the Zhu Family looked at the dead guard commander and remained silent for a while. Then, he let out a cold snort and invited Jiang Ting to leave, saying that this wasn't the place to talk.
After saying that, the old ancestor of the Zhu Family forced himself not to look at the dead guard commander and led the way towards the depths.
Anyone who could hold a high position within the Zhu Family... would have the surname Zhu.
Zhu He and the others looked at the back of Jiang Ting and the old ancestor of the Zhu Family as they left. Their faces were filled with surprise and bewilderment.
Something was wrong with the attitude of the Zhu Family's old ancestor.
Furthermore, Jiang Ting's strength just now didn't seem to be at the Foundation Establishment realm.
Not long later.
One of them whispered, "What do we do now? We'll really listen to the old ancestor..."
The guard commander died in a somewhat aggrieved manner. However, he died for the Zhu Family. How could his corpse be thrown into a mass grave? But the one who spoke was the Zhu Family's Patriarch!
After a long time.
Zhu He, who was quick-witted and quick-witted, said softly, "Something's not right. First of all... let his corpse be placed here. If I smell it... It started to smell... Say that he hadn't had the time to take care of it until Fu Jianglong left. Let's go and ask the old ancestor again. "
...
On the other side.
In the depths of the Zhu Family, there was a quiet and remote courtyard.
In the courtyard, the old ancestor of the Zhu Family and Jiang Ting were sitting opposite each other.
The Zhu Family's old ancestor probed, "Fellow Daoist Fu, the name Fu Jianglong should be an alias, right?"
"Didn't Fellow Daoist already know who I am? Why bother probing?" Jiang Ting chuckled.
"It really is you, fellow Daoist Jiang Ting." The expression of the Zhu Family's Old Ancestor darkened slightly.
Then, the Zhu Family's old ancestor thought of something and squeezed out a smile. "I am Zhu Da. Greetings, Daoist Jiang. May I know what your alias, Fu Jianglong, means?"
"Fellow Daoist Zhu Da."
After a pause, Jiang Ting chuckled. "Did your Zhu family's Zhu He not inform you of my objective?"
... ""
After a moment of silence, Zhu Da's face turned ugly. "Fellow Daoist, is this your intention, or is it the Purple Frost Sect's?"
"Is there a difference?" Jiang Ting did not answer his question.
"That's true... How is there a difference..." Zhu Da was silent for a while and smiled bitterly.
Indeed, regardless of whether Jiang Ting represented himself or the Purple Frost Sect, to the Zhu Family, there was no difference!
A moment later... ...
Zhu Da took out a jug of wine with a pained expression. "Since Fellow Daoist Jiang has come to the Zhu family... I have no choice but to give Fellow Daoist Jiang face. We'll drink together. After that, we'll take it from the Liu Clan. Apart from those that have been consumed, I will ask the disciples of the Liu Family to send them back. "
"Hualala..." A cup of clear wine was filled to the brim.
Zhu Da held the cup and toasted.
Jiang Ting stared at the glass, but did not touch it.
Zhu Da saw this and was silent for a while. His face revealed a slightly gloomy expression. "Fellow Daoist, I have returned the goods. Could it be that Fellow Daoist still thinks that the sincerity is not enough?"
"Very sufficient."
After pausing for a while, Jiang Ting suddenly looked at the sky. "Fellow Daoist's cultivation base is not weak. However, you are a bit too timid."
"What do you mean?" Zhu Da's expression darkened.
"No one can hide their killing intent in front of me."
After saying that, Jiang Ting looked at the wine cup and said with a smile that wasn't a smile, "Fellow Daoist's killing intent can't be hidden from me... Let me guess... Fellow Daoist is so generous and generous. It seems that you have taken a fancy to the treasure I brought out from the Demon Sealing Secret Realm. If you can obtain the resources of a mere Liu Family, you can return them. It's nothing."
Zhu Da quickly explained, "Fellow cultivator, you must be joking. With your capabilities, how would I dare?"
Jiang Ting slightly tilted his head. "Since that's the case... why don't you and I exchange drinks, how about it?"
Zhu Da's expression changed drastically, and his smile could no longer be maintained.
After a long time, Zhu Da revealed some disappointment. "Fellow Daoist, how did you know that there was a problem with the drinks?"
Jiang Ting did not hide anything. "Everyone in the world knows that the Green Spirit Sword Manual requires an extremely strong Divine Sense, and our cultivation levels are the same... However, my Divine Sense far exceeds yours. How can my Divine Sense be hidden from each and every one of your actions?"
That's right, Zhu Da's cultivation level was not weak... Early Earth Realm!
Both he and Jiang Ting were at the Early Earth Realm.
As for why he was alert in advance... As mentioned earlier, no matter how well he concealed his killing intent, Zhu Da's killing intent could not be concealed from Jiang Ting.
When one sensed the killing intent and became alert in advance, they would naturally notice the problem.
When Zhu Da heard this, he opened his mouth and let out a bitter laugh. "Looks like I'm going to die today."
Jiang Ting revealed a curious expression. "Why don't you give it a try?"
... "" After a long period of silence, Zhu Da shook his head slightly. "No."
Jiang Ting became more and more curious. "What's the reason? If you run away, I might not be able to kill you even though we are both in the early stage of the Earth Realm."
"If I can run, how can the Zhu family run away?"
At this point, Zhu Da laughed bitterly, "If I run away, I'm afraid that the Zhu family will be completely wiped out in the future... With fellow Daoist's strength, can I really escape?"
The name of a person, the shadow of a tree... Under the intimidation of his prestige, Zhu Da had already given up struggling.
Jiang Ting was still curious. "Since you know the consequences, I'm curious. Where did you get the courage to poison me?"
Zhu Da looked at Jiang Ting, and after a long time, he said, "Fellow Daoist self-proclaimed that the Devil Secret Realm brought out monstrous resources... How can you be willing to give it a try?"
Because of wealth, Zhu Da dared to take the risk.
After being seen through, and because of the Zhu Family, he actually chose to resign himself to fate and wait for death.
The human heart... was unpredictable and unpredictable. It was hard to predict that it was for the human heart.
However, was that really the case? Or was it possible to retreat in order to advance?
Jiang Ting did not want to guess. The main reason was that the Zhu Family's old ancestor could not die for the time being. Therefore, he would not deal with the Zhu Family's old ancestor.
If not, he would not talk so much nonsense.1
And because he hadn't prepared to deal with Zhu Da, he couldn't be bothered to think too much... If the bloody truth was revealed, he might not be able to endure the killing intent.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ting didn't continue with the nonsense. "I won't kill you."
"Really?" Zhu Da was overjoyed.
Jiang Ting was puzzled. "I'm just curious. Since you know who it is, why did you still dare to poison it? If the news spreads, aren't you afraid that your Zhu Family will be wiped out by the Purple Frost Sect?"
He didn't want to think too much, so he asked directly.
Zhu Da immediately spoke with guilt, "Fellow Daoist came by using an alias. I guess that no one knows where you are. If... if the matter is successful, no one else will know that I am the one who did it."
It was as if he really knew that he was wrong.
Jiang Ting shook his head slightly, "A man's heart is not enough to swallow an elephant."
"I understand." Zhu Da was very humble.
Jiang Ting saw this and smiled. He changed the topic. "This Songning Lane is not small. It can accommodate the Liu family and the Zhu family. What do you think?"
"It can accommodate." Zhu Da nodded with all his might without any hesitation.
After that, he spoke as if he was trying to curry favor with Zhu Da. "I'll head to the Liu Clan to apologize right away. What do you think, Fellow Daoist?"
"There's no need." Jiang Ting instantly denied it.
Then, he stood up. "Send someone to the Liu family to tell you the attitude of the Zhu family... I heard from the Liu family that the taxes belonging to the Liu family are now collected by the Zhu family on their behalf?"
Zhu Da probed, "Fellow Daoist, what do you mean?"
"Everything will remain the same. Next, don't cause trouble for the Liu Clan." After saying that, Jiang Ting got up and left.
Now that the matter had been resolved, it was naturally time for him to leave.
