Chapter 559: Chapter 307: Ji Meng: Is He Blaming Me?

The people from the Zhenyue Bureau came and went quickly.

After being interrogated, Jiang Man and the others resumed their normal routine. Their mission remained unchanged. All that was left was to stay vigilant of their surroundings.

The appearance of the Earth Spirit Beast had cast a shadow of dread over everyone, as it had approached entirely undetected. Although the Zhenyue Bureau explained it away as an accident, an accident under these circumstances could inevitably happen again.

Jiang Man had only realized the sheer rarity and difficulty of an Earth Spirit Beast appearing here so silently after questioning the female Demon Beast. Furthermore, the behavior they exhibited was highly unusual. Normally, Earth Spirit Beasts only exhibited aggressiveness when they were out on their regular strolls. They would travel collectively in a single direction, but there was no set distance for their path; they simply wandered wherever their feet took them.

"So their aggressive behavior was deliberately orchestrated by someone," Jiang Man guessed.

At that time, the Earth Spirit Beast had charged straight at Senior Brother Yang, which meant he might also be a discarded pawn. The mastermind behind all this was likely from the Black Spirit Abyss, and their strength was definitely not low.

Returning to his quarters, Jiang Man sighed inwardly, "Things are dangerous now."

In the past, everyone had merely engaged in assessments and sparring; because it involved their personal interests, the worst they would do was severely injure their opponents. But this time was different. The enemy’s ultimate goal was to kill him. If they didn’t want to miss the opportunity presented by this outdoor mission, they would likely strike again.

Danger could descend at any moment.

Jiang Man took a deep breath. First things first, he needed to write a letter to Miss Ji Meng. Who knew, he might have to go to the Ji family very soon. He had a Magical Treasure on him that would forcibly teleport him to the Ji family if his life was ever threatened. Presumably, this Magical Treasure could save him.

However, he refused to just sit around and wait helplessly. Could a Magical Treasure ever be as reliable as his own strength?

Summoning the Seven-Colored Bird, Jiang Man began to write, informing her that his area had been sealed off for a long time. It seemed that an Evil God had been causing trouble, so he simply hadn’t had the time to write...

Wuyun Sect.

Ji Meng stared at the letter in silence for a long time.

"Miss, what did the young master write?" Qing Dai asked curiously, craning her neck.

This time, Ji Meng didn’t hide it. Instead, she handed the letter to her maid.

"The Black Spirit Abyss was sealed off by an Evil God? Such audacity?" Qing Dai was slightly shocked before continuing. "What is the purpose of these Evil Gods? Could it be related to the young master? And to think Zui Fusheng actually appeared! This is the first time this mysterious Inspector has shown himself so openly. To this day, no one has been able to uncover his true background."

Pausing for a moment, Qing Dai looked at her silent mistress and asked, "Miss, are you worried about the impact those rumors will have on the young master? The repercussions are indeed quite severe."

Ji Meng stayed silent for a moment before shaking her head slightly. "No."

Qing Dai froze, thinking her mistress was truly calm, showing absolutely no concern for the young master’s safety. Could it be that her mistress didn’t value him enough? Was her previous impression wrong?

Only then did Ji Meng finally speak. "He said he was sealed off, which is why he hasn’t written to me for so long."

Qing Dai was thoroughly confused. "Yes, and you can’t blame him for that. I think it’s perfectly reasonable. You can’t expect the young master to find a way to write a letter while under lockdown, right?"

Ji Meng raised her eyebrows and looked at Qing Dai, speaking softly, "But I wasn’t sealed off. Is he trying to ask me: he didn’t write to me because he was under lockdown, but since I wasn’t, why didn’t I write to him?"

Upon hearing this, Qing Dai was absolutely thunderstruck. Her hand instinctively loosened its grip on the letter. A feeling welled up in her heart.

Was her mistress a fake? Had she been replaced by an imposter named Ji Meng?

Meanwhile, Ji Meng began to write a reply. "From the time I started my Cultivation, all the way to forming my Primordial Spirit today, I have never experienced such a thing. I have grown accustomed to waiting and being passive, forgetting that this sort of matter—something I have never been exposed to—is a two-way street..."

"I habitually found myself wondering under what circumstances Young Master Jiang would write a letter, and in doing so, I forgot many things..." Jiang Man read the letter’s contents, feeling somewhat shocked for a moment.

It was a pity that Old Huang wasn’t here; he had no one to share this fluttering in his heart with. Was Miss Ji Meng implying that she had been wholeheartedly waiting for him to write?

"Miss Ji Meng’s words this time are quite different from before; they’re much warmer. Is she really the same person who married me?" Jiang Man recalled.

He remembered that his wife had felt extremely cold back then, looking at him as if he were someone on the verge of death. To put it bluntly, she was looking at a corpse. Although she had later called him "husband" repeatedly, just thinking of that icy demeanor still sent shivers down his spine.

But now, recalling the past from Miss Ji Meng’s perspective, he found that the creepy feeling was completely gone. His current perception had altered the feelings within his memories.

Putting those thoughts aside, Jiang Man tucked the letter away and began his Cultivation. He needed to level up his Nine-star Body Refining Method as soon as possible and show that Unparalleled Celestial Pride Fate Chart who was boss. It wouldn’t even be an exaggeration to say that this fate was trying to tear him and his wife apart.

Additionally, he had to carefully deal with the hidden dangers lurking in the shadows. He needed to leave a way out for himself.

It was currently sometime in April. As long as he could hold out until July, he would be able to meet Ting Fengyin and hear his thoughts on the matter.

Mid-April.

By now, Jiang Man had arranged numerous Maze Arrays and Trapping Arrays around himself. This was especially true for the Mountain and Sea Mist Array. He had connected it to the Black Spirit Abyss Array, allowing him to quickly escape the area if necessary. He also wore the Array Fire Furnace, making it exceedingly difficult for anyone to track him down.

At the same time, he was secretly accumulating the Evil God’s Technique. If his life was truly in danger, he wouldn’t care about exposing his secrets anymore.

The next step was to improve the Nine-star Body Refining Method.

Early May.

Jiang Man finally comprehended the Cultivation Skill completely. It had taken a bit more time than expected, but everything had gone relatively smoothly. Afterward, he began his Cultivation.

The first iteration.

Entry Level.

The second iteration.

Second Layer.

The third iteration.

Third Layer.

The next day.

Eighth Layer.

Two days later.

Ninth Layer.

Jiang Man’s Cultivation did not stop. During this time, he sensed some fluctuations in the arrays.
