It had been a long time since he had returned to this courtyard, but it was bright and clean, not at all like a house that had been empty for a long time. Obviously, people often came to clean it.
Jiang Wang walked into the courtyard and nodded with satisfaction.
"Let's talk in the living room," he suggested.
Dugu Xiao trotted into the room, found tea, and set up the teacups.
She actually cleaned the courtyard herself. She came to clean it every three days, no matter how busy the town was.
It was just that she wouldn't take credit for it in front of Jiang Wang.
She always considered herself as Jiang Wang's maid. Even though she was now a Transcendent and had been handed over to Qingyang Town, she was a prominent figure in the whole of Jia City.
It was a matter of course for a maid to clean up the master's room.
When the window of the side bedroom moved, Jiang Wang knew that Yin Guan had already gone into the room to rest. This was a reminder to him. It also meant that he wouldn't eavesdrop on their conversation.
It shuffled listlessly forward, as if it did not feel it at all.
But Jiang Wang knew that he could sense it.
The swordsmanship that had been left at the pinnacle of the era was very terrifying.
The three of them sat down in the living room. Usually, there were four of them, but Zhu Biqiong's "exploitation contract" had expired. She had returned to the offshore islands, so Jiang Wang felt a little regretful that he couldn't say goodbye in person.
They had worked so hard together for Qingyang Town, so there was a certain foundation of affection between them.
But Zhu Biqiong had returned to the offshore islands to "enjoy life," so there was nothing to worry about.
In the offshore islands, even if the Sea-fishing Tower wasn't the most powerful force, it was still one of them. Hu Shaomeng was dead, and his revenge had been avenged. She was born in the Sea-fishing Tower. As long as she cultivated step by step, her future wouldn't be bad.
Jiang Wang sat casually, listening indifferently.
One could see part of a person's personality from their sitting posture.
For example, Dugu Xiao only sat halfway on the chair. She could stand up at any time. When reporting the town's affairs, her eyes always paid attention to Jiang Wang's expression. She was rather cautious. She was definitely loyal to Jiang Wang, but she also wanted to please him. Because Jiang Wang was the one who controlled her fate.
On the other hand, Fang Qian turned the chair into another bed. His entire body was like a puddle of mud as he slumped onto the chair. Jiang Wang had no doubt that he would hear him snoring in the next moment.
Jiang Wang simply listened to the report. He trusted Dugu Xiao, but this kind of report was still necessary. His trust in Dugu Xiao, and his need to supervise Dugu Xiao's authority, were not contradictory things.
The former was a personal emotion, while the latter was a necessity of the rules.
Don't underestimate this rule, it's the foundation of any force.
Jiang Wang had struggled in the huge vortex of the Junggenjia in Qi for a long time, so he was no stranger to these things.
"Not bad." After Dugu Xiao finished his report, Jiang Wang nodded in approval. "You did well."
Dugu Xiao smiled happily. Receiving Jiang Wang's praise was better than anything for her.
"Pa!"
After Jiang Wang finished talking to Dugu Xiao, he reached out and slapped Fang Qian's thigh, waking him up from his heavy sleepiness.
Fang Qian suddenly woke up and glared at Jiang Wang.
It's just that his eyes that were always half asleep didn't have much lethality.
"What about you? What did you do during this time? "Jiang Wang deliberately played with his fingers." I have to pay you Dao Yuan Stones every month. "
Fang Qian said lazily, "You don't want me to do anything."
For the position of responsibility given to him by Qingyang Town, his greatest contribution was that nothing happened.
Jiang Wang certainly knew this, but he still wanted to find fault with him. "Wipe your saliva."
Fang Qian reached out and wiped it, only to touch nothing. Only then did he realize that he had been played.
He sighed. "You're really bored right now."
Jiang Wang smiled. "Then I'll find something for you to do that's not boring?"
"Thank you very much!" Fang Qian raised his hands in opposition. "Qingyang Town is very small, and I'm also very useless. It's better to be bored. Being bored to death is the spark of the world. "
Jiang Wang understood his hint.
A hidden powerhouse by Jiang Wang's side absolutely couldn't have anything good. Fang Qian had a lot of feelings for Qingyang Town, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed here. He had already left when the solipsism of the sword was exposed.
He reminded Jiang Wang that Qingyang Town couldn't afford too much risk.
Jiang Wang didn't immediately express his opinion, but looked at Dugu Xiao again. "Xiao Xiao, how's your cultivation now?"
"That's really not good!" Fang Qian gave a rare criticism.
With his personality, how others were had nothing to do with him, and he didn't care.
Earlier, when he was mingling in the mine, he worked with Zhang Hai for so long. Zhang Hai fiddled with his broken pill every day. With Fang Qian's hidden strength and vision, would he say anything more?
But Dugu Xiao, this girl, had fought side by side with him. And … how could he forget the expression on Hu Shuanzi's face before he died?
So after Zhu Biqiong left, he took on the heavy responsibility of guiding Dugu Xiao's cultivation.
If such a decadent person like him said that she wasn't good, then there was really nothing good to write about.
Jiang Wang heard this and was stunned. "What do you mean?"
He knew Dugu Xiao well.
This little handmaiden was by no means a fool. Even because of her previous painful experience, she was actually very thoughtful. And there was a fierce force in her bones. She was willing to grit her teeth and work hard. She was definitely not a person who slacked off like Fang Qian.
There was a saying that Heaven rewarded the diligent. Even if her talent wasn't good, Dugu Xiao's cultivation shouldn't be too bad.
"She …" Fang Qian was about to say something, but he glanced at Dugu Xiao and swallowed his words. Finally, he said in a muffled voice, "Ask her yourself."
At this time, the joy on Dugu Xiao's face was swept away and replaced by fear.
She quickly lowered her head, not letting her instantly red eyes be seen.
She was really scared! She was very scared that she was useless. She was very scared that she would lose her value to Jiang Wang. She was very scared that she would be abandoned again.
It was because he discovered her mood that Fang Qian couldn't say anything more.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Wang laughed. "Fang Qian has been crippled like this. It's been so long, but he hasn't made any progress. I see that he's still sleeping soundly. What are you doing? "
He eased his voice and made his posture more peaceful. "If you have a cultivation problem, hurry up and say it. A genius whose name shakes Linzi is here. Why don't you seize the opportunity to solve it?"
Fang Qian glowered at him in dissatisfaction, resentful that he was pulled out to be a target.
But Dugu Xiao wasn't so panicked all of a sudden.
Her heart, which had been in a mess, steadily calmed down.
She was even quite satisfied.
Because she knew that to "Lord Jiang", she wasn't a completely insignificant character. "Lord Jiang" was even willing to put in the effort to appease her!
"My Minor Heavenly Cycle has been completed, but it's terrible." Dugu Xiao said in a low voice, "Big Brother Xiang said there's no future to speak of …"
"Oh?"
Jiang Wang's curiosity was piqued.
The Minor Heavenly Cycle was the condensation of a cultivator's willpower. It could also be seen as a cultivator's initial exploration of the "Dao", as well as their ideas and even answers.
The Minor Heavenly Cycle was only the foundation. After laying the foundation, it was just a step forward. Generally speaking, after the initial construction of the Minor Heavenly Cycle, one would slowly fill in the details and even expand it. How could one declare that there was no future to speak of at the Minor Heavenly Cycle stage?
But Jiang Wang didn't have any reason to doubt Fang Qian's vision. Fang Qian possessed an era's peak inheritance. Although Fang Qian's cultivation had now been surpassed, his knowledge of cultivation absolutely wasn't inferior to Jiang Wang's.
"What's your Minor Heavenly Cycle condensed?" Jiang Wang asked.
"It's …" Dugu Xiao lowered her head, her voice like a mosquito.
"Alright, alright." Seeing her like this, Jiang Wang said, "Relax a little. I'll see for myself."
Dugu Xiao didn't understand what he meant, but she still obediently let herself relax.
Then in the next moment.
A black snake suddenly wormed its way into her Heavenspan Palace!
Dugu Xiao was in the midst of her panic when she suddenly "heard" Jiang Wang's voice.
"Don't be afraid. It's me."
The black snake stopped in Dugu Xiao's Heavenspan Palace and spoke in human language.
To some extent, this was also a kind of invasion. But Jiang Wang wouldn't hurt her.
Dugu Xiao's Heavenspan Palace seemed a little narrow to Jiang Wang, but this was the size of most ordinary cultivators' Heavenspan Palaces.
The only thing that surprised Jiang Wang was that he didn't feel any resistance from the Heavenspan Palace itself in this Heavenspan Palace.
Perhaps Dugu Xiao was too weak, so the slight resistance wasn't worth mentioning.
Jiang Wang didn't think too much about it. After comforting the master of this place, the black snake raised its head and observed the place.
The construction of every cultivator's Heavenly Cycle had to start from themselves. It was the past, and it was also the future. It was a conclusion, and it was also a prospect.
For example, Jiang Wang's Heavenspan Palace was divided into three layers by nine Starry River Spirals.
The three Starry River Spirals formed a Minor Heavenly Cycle, which was the Sun, Moon, and Stars.
The sun, moon, and stars were the heavens, the mountains and rivers were the earth, and the vast sea of people was the human.
The three minor Heavenly Cycles formed a major Heavenly Cycle, which represented the heavens, the earth, and the human.
The concept was grand and rather impressive.
And in Dugu Xiao's Heavenspan Palace, three Dao spirals were suspended in the dome, rotating endlessly. It seemed that the minor Heavenly Cycle had been established.
But Jiang Wang couldn't see anything special about the Heavenly Cycle concept. He only felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Between the spirals, a thin and small Earth Worm was crawling with difficulty. This was Dugu Xiao's Dao Vein True Spirit. There was no spirituality to speak of.
Not to mention defending the Heavenspan Palace and expelling the "invading" Jiang Wang, there wasn't even the slightest reaction.
Jiang Wang transformed his face from the black snake and flew to the dome of the Heavenspan Palace, observing Dugu Xiao's minor Heavenly Cycle from a close distance.
But then, a change occurred.
Perhaps it was due to Jiang Wang's soul.
A shadow appeared on each of the three Dao spirals at the dome of the Heavenspan Palace. It was the manifestation of Dugu Xiao's concept.
They weren't the sun, moon, stars, gold, silver, or copper …
However, each of the illusory figures was a human figure.
One of them faced the left, another the right, and the one in the middle faced Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang wondered if his eyes were playing tricks on him.
Because the three figures in front of him … were all himself!
