Jiang Wang couldn't get a word in as the two big shots were talking in the sky.
Fortunately, Ye Lingxiao helped him cover up, so he didn't expose himself too much.
Therefore, he wanted to show off his skills in front of Ye Lingxiao to repay him. He served the fish very carefully.
Not long after …
The fish was already burnt.
It was very quiet in the clouds. The burnt smell drifted in the air like a fish swimming around the noses of several Transcendent Stage cultivators. It was a bit naughty and provocative.
Ye Lingxiao was expressionless. "If you have something to do, go back to the pavilion first."
He raised his eyebrows and added, "Take your grilled fish with you."
Du Ruhui laughed. "Pavilion Master Ye, the fish may not be happy, but I guess you're not happy either."
After losing face, Jiang Wang could only grab the black "grilled fish" and leave dejectedly.
Everything in Cloud City was as usual. Most people didn't know that a strong person had come to visit. The world of cultivators and the world of ordinary people were often separated.
Du Ruhui was the prime minister of Zhuang State and had to deal with a lot of affairs every day. Ye Lingxiao, as the Pavilion Master of Cloud Tower, was also the backer of the entire Yun Kingdom. Some of the conversations between the two were inconvenient for Jiang Wang to hear. He was also very tactful.
The two old acquaintances didn't talk for too long. After they had their own positions, the friendship they might have had could only fade.
Jiang Wang waited in the sky above Cloud City for a while. Then, he saw Ye Lingxiao floating over.
He hurried over to thank him. "Pavilion Master, thank you for covering up for me just now."
Ye Lingxiao didn't speak. He just looked at him quietly for a while.
Jiang Wang was a bit nervous.
"Du Ruhui thought that I sent you to Zhuang State to investigate the situation and that Cloud Tower had some ideas about the situation in the Western Region." Ye Lingxiao stood with his hands behind his back. "I thought you were a smart person."
He was asking why Jiang Wang was so unwise to expose himself in Zhuang State when his strength was far from enough.
Jiang Wang didn't explain. He just said, "I'm sorry for the trouble I caused to Cloud Tower."
Ye Lingxiao waved his hand. "There's no need to coax you with false words and make you feel grateful. It's no trouble. Du Ruhui wouldn't go so far as to provoke me over such a trivial matter. "
Jiang Wang wanted to know the real purpose of Du Ruhui's visit to Ye Lingxiao.
However, Ye Lingxiao paused and said, "However, you should know that some things can't be undone."
For once, he deliberated over his words, "There are some things … that may not be possible."
Jiang Wang understood what he was talking about and replied softly, "There has to be an explanation. The others are all gone. I can't wait for An 'an to ask for it. "
If he had been filled with righteous indignation, Ye Lingxiao would have thought that it would be easier to deal with him. It was precisely because his reply was so gentle and his voice so calm that Ye Lingxiao knew that his decision could not be changed.
Looking down at the majestic Cloud City and the tall mountain peak, Ye Lingxiao said, "When the founder of my sect climbed this mountain, he sighed that 'holding the floating clouds is like holding the frost and snow'. Therefore, it was named Snow Embracing Mountain."
Jiang Wang didn't know why he suddenly mentioned this, but he could only agree and praise, "You have both the air of immortality and the air of generosity."
"The establishment of the Cloud Country was not the intention of High Heaven Pavilion. A group of ordinary people who had nowhere to go depended on High Heaven Pavilion to live. They gathered together and gradually formed a scale. When there were many people, they needed to be organized and formed a system. "
Ye Lingxiao said slowly, "However, High Heaven Pavilion has no intention of contending for hegemony. What we seek is to climb high and look far, to hold the frost and snow. Only cultivation. Although we are not afraid of trouble, we are not willing to provoke trouble. After all, the path of cultivation is long, and those entanglements of karma will affect our ascension. "
After a moment of silence, Jiang Wang nodded. "I can completely understand Pavilion Master's difficulties and considerations. I shouldn't have bothered you for so long. I won't cause trouble for High Heaven Pavilion. I will take An 'an away and settle her in Qi. "
"That's not necessary." Ye Lingxiao shook his head. "Jiang An 'an is a direct disciple of High Heaven Pavilion. I also like her very much and have no reason to expel her. However, seeing Du Ruhui come today, as the master of High Heaven Pavilion, I have to remind you that if you can't let go of your hatred, High Heaven Pavilion will not stand up for you if you encounter any trouble in the future. "
This was directly telling Jiang Wang not to rely on the relationship between Jiang An 'an and Ye Qingyu. High Heaven Pavilion was not something he could rely on.
Jiang Wang looked back at his eyes and said seriously, "Pavilion Master Ye, please rest assured. I have never thought of asking High Heaven Pavilion to stand up for me. The road ahead is a towering mountain peak or a bottomless abyss. My own road, I will walk it. I made my own decision, I will bear it. "
"Meeting Du Ruhui this time was really unexpected. He asked me where I came from. This kind of question can be confirmed at any time. I can't lie in front of him. I promise you … "
Jiang Wang's expression was very serious. "There will not be a next time. No matter what danger I encounter in the future, even if I die on the spot, I will not face High Heaven Pavilion. "
"I'm not saying this out of anger or resentment. I'm just trying to understand your painstaking efforts as the master of High Heaven Pavilion. Thank you for taking care of Jiang An, and I solemnly promise you. "
Ye Lingxiao looked at him. Indeed, he didn't see the slightest bit of resentment in this youth's eyes, not even dissatisfaction. This youth was indeed very clear-headed. He knew that there was no such thing as natural support in the world … and he was indeed very proud.
"Very good. Although there are few men, they are full of pride."
Ye Lingxiao nodded gently. "I'm thinking for High Heaven Pavilion. I don't need you to understand. But considering that you are Jiang An's brother and Qingyu's friend, I'll explain it to you. "
Jiang Wang replied, "I can completely understand Pavilion Master's good intentions."
"It's best if you can understand, but it doesn't matter if you don't." Ye Lingxiao smiled slightly. "Let's go back to the pavilion to accompany Jiang An."
… …
… …
Jiang An 'an didn't seem to need company.
When Jiang Wang found her, she was riding on a snow crane, dancing with joy. The snow crane rolled up and down. She was very happy. Senior Sister Wang and Senior Sister Wang were beside her to protect her, afraid that she would fall.
Mo Liang and that square-faced Senior Brother "Fang" had their backs turned. They hid in a corner and were busy doing something.
Jiang Wang walked over and saw the two of them deftly cutting open the stomach of a fat crane. They were even discussing from time to time.
"Jiang An lost the Snow Crane Cavalry. Didn't we use this reason once?"
"No? Didn't we say that Jiang An scared the snow crane away with firecrackers last time? "
"Is that so, hehe. Jiang An has contributed greatly to our sect. This time, we'll give her a share of the crane leg! "
… …
Jiang Wang: "… Cough."
Mo Liang and Senior Brother "Fang" hurriedly turned around. Before Mo Liang turned around, he even formed a seal and got into a battle stance. He had a guilty conscience.
"Brother!" Mo Liang's frightened face instantly turned into pleasant surprise. He called him brother very intimately and naturally. "You're back! We were just about to look for you. A snow crane accidentally fell and died. We were cleaning it up. It tastes very good! You have to try it! "
Senior Brother Fang's reaction was relatively slow. He only twitched the corner of his mouth stiffly and nodded in agreement.
"Then I'll thank you in advance." Jiang Wang passed the grilled fish over. "On my way back, I happened to encounter a fish that accidentally drowned. It's already grilled. I'll also invite you to try it."
Mo Liang looked at the black grilled fish. The corner of his eyes twitched. He received it with a bright smile. "Thank you, brother! Our Junior Brother Xie Ruixuan loves to eat fish the most! "
He stuffed the grilled fish into Senior Brother Fang's hands with a smile.
In front of Jiang Wang, Senior Brother Fang, whose real name was Xie Ruixuan, could only accept the grilled fish. He continued to smile awkwardly and nodded. "Yes, yes."
"Ouch!"
Jiang An 'an heard the commotion and scrambled down the snow crane's back. She ran over with her short legs. "Brother, you're back!"
Jiang Wang smiled kindly and looked at her very gently. "Did you practice writing today?"
"I was just about to go."
Jiang An 'an jumped in front of Jiang Wang lightly and hugged his hand. She looked at him pitifully. "Brother, I was just about to go!"
