Chapter 88: The Matchmaker
Chapter 88: The Matchmaker
Now Jiang Cheng was sent back to the Sun-shooting Army, to the Jiang family camp...
Jiang Cheng saw his father, mother, sister, and Xue Yang whom he had not seen for many days...
Jiang Cheng ran over, happily calling them and hugging them...
Several people had received the news from the old man and had been waiting for a long time. When they looked at the weak Jiang Cheng, they couldn't hide the pain in their eyes...
At this time, the old man had quietly left...
The reason why Jiang Cheng only hid the fact that he had lost his golden elixir from Wei Wuxian was simply because he was worried that Wei Wuxian would be like in the previous plane, and Jiang Cheng felt that he could not afford to owe him this favor...
In the mustard seed space...
Looking at the few people who were still alive in front of him, Wuyou suddenly felt that everything he had done seemed to be worth it... But... Wei Wuxian... seemed to have followed his fate...
Wuyou secretly sighed and thought: "After all, it is called the Devil's Path Plane. How can I go against the will of heaven? But I can't just leave it alone. What if..."
Jiang Cheng sat up in shock as if he was dying, and quickly grabbed Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan’s hands and said, “Father and mother, please send someone to rescue Wei Wuxian. He has been thrown into the Yiling mass grave…”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they all asked Jiang Cheng about the time and exact location, but Jiang Cheng had no idea what to say...
I can't possibly tell them that I guessed based on my experience reading books...
Although Jiang Cheng's explanation was unclear, the Jiang family still sent people to the Yiling mass grave to search for a while...
But seven days passed, and more and more people were sent out to investigate, but after they came back, they all said, "I only saw resentment rising to the sky, and didn't find any trace of Master Wei..."
The war with the Wen family was imminent, and Jiang Cheng couldn't let the Jiang family disperse their forces on the battlefield. The Yiling Mass Burial Mounds was a place where every person sent had to be a master. The impact on the Jiang family's combat power could not be underestimated...
Jiang Cheng had no choice but to think of another solution...
So that night, Jin Zixuan, who came to visit specially, picked up Jiang Cheng who had successfully climbed down from the tall fence...
Jin Zixuan: "This... is outrageous..."
Jiang Cheng: "Fuck...what do you care..."
Unfortunately, Jiang Cheng’s arrogance only lasted for two seconds. Just when Jin Zixuan was about to shout at the top of his voice: “Young Master Jiang, climb over the wall~”, Jiang Cheng’s face changed to something so… “fawning”…
After Jin Zixuan repeatedly assured him not to tell his parents, Jiang Cheng had no choice but to return to the tent with Jin Zixuan with a sad face...
Then he sat aside, silently watching Jin Zixuan and his father and mother chatting with each other, and then he saw his elder sister secretly looking at Jin Zixuan...
Seeing this scene, Jiang Cheng secretly shook his head and thought: "My infatuated girl, you have to wait a little longer~~"
As a result, when I turned around, I saw Jin Zixuan occasionally secretly glancing at my sister...
Jiang Cheng suddenly couldn't hide the smile on his face: "There's a chance!!! Are you in love with each other now?"
In fact, Jin Zixuan never hated Jiang Yanli. It was just that his mother arranged this marriage for him without his consent, which made the young man feel a little rebellious.
Now that the marriage was off, after taking off his tinted glasses and seeing the well-educated and well-mannered Jiang Yanli, Jin Zixuan had already regretted it...
When the time was almost up, Jiang Cheng volunteered to see Jin Zixuan off. On the way...
Jiang Cheng said slyly, "The lotus root and pork ribs soup my sister made is so delicious..."
Jin Zixuan: "She can make soup?! I thought she was the type who had never touched water..."
Jiang Cheng thought to himself: “Oh my, I understand. You never talked to me about my sister before, but now you’re talking to me so quickly… I’m set…”
Jiang Cheng continued: "Of course, my sister is the best sister in the world. The lotus root and pork ribs soup she makes is only for the person she loves the most... (╯▽╰) It smells so good~~"
Jin Zixuan heard this and looked longing...
Jiang Cheng continued: "If one day someone has a bowl of lotus root and pork ribs soup on his table, do you think that means that my sister is interested in him~~~"
After saying that, Jiang Cheng bumped his arm against Jin Zixuan and smiled brightly.
Jin Zixuan: "I...how would I know? I'm leaving, leaving." After saying that, he ran away without looking back.
Since this conversation, Jin Zixuan looked at his dining table every day, expecting a bowl of lotus root and pork ribs soup to appear on it...
But he didn't show up. He knew that Jiang Yanli liked him before, but he couldn't be sure after the cancellation of the engagement...
After more than a month of worrying, Jin Zixuan finally saw the lotus root and pork ribs soup brought over by the maid on the table... Jin Zixuan was so happy that he ate two more bowls of rice, and Jiang Yanli was also very happy when she heard from Jin Zixuan's maid that he liked his soup very much... Of course, this is a story for later...
Why did Jiang Yanli suddenly think of making soup for Jin Zixuan? Of course, it was because of the letter her brother who was far away in the Lotus Pier wrote to her:
"Sister, sister, I miss your lotus root and pork ribs soup so much when I'm at home~ Xian and I loved eating it the most before. Jin Zixuan is my good friend. I told him that the lotus root and pork ribs soup you made was delicious, and his face was full of...longing..."
At this time, Jiang Cheng, who was at the Lotus (Luan) Flower (Zang) Dock (Gang), was bandaging his arm that was pierced by resentment...
……
Time goes back. After Jiang Cheng failed in his first attempt to sneak away, he came up with a new idea...
The battlefield was changing rapidly, and he could no longer allow the Jiang family's manpower to be dispersed, so he decided to go to Yiling to find Wei Wuxian in person.
So Jiang Cheng told his parents that he was weak and it was really uncomfortable to stay here, and he wanted to go back to the Lotus Pier to wait for them. Upon hearing this, the couple happily agreed and sent someone to send Jiang Cheng back to the Lotus Pier...
Jiang Cheng thought: "After returning to Lotus Pier, I will be like a tiger in a mountain, a monkey will be king, who can stop me?"
As soon as Jiang Cheng arrived at the Lotus Pier, he behaved himself for two or three days because he had to sort out the magical instruments and elixirs he owned. When he saw the pile of expensive things given by the elders of the Yu family, Jiang Cheng sighed secretly and took them with him.
Jiang Cheng’s thoughts: “If my body can’t take it, I’ll just use my magic weapon to block it. If I’m injured, I have plenty of elixirs… I must go find Wei Wuxian…”
Why did Jiang Cheng have to go find Wei Wuxian? Couldn't he just wait three months for Wei Wuxian to become the Yiling Patriarch and return?
Jiang Cheng can only tell you: "Because it's different now. This time Jiang Fengmian and Yu Ziyuan are both fine, the Lotus Pier is not destroyed, and Wei Wuxian doesn't even know that my golden core is gone... He is far from having the resentment he had in his previous life. What if he is thrown into a mass grave, what if he doesn't have enough resentment in his heart, what if he can't crawl out of the sea of blood and corpses like in the previous plane?"
Jiang Cheng doesn't dare to gamble...
"Since resentment is not enough, let's make up for it with love"
So Jiang Cheng built a residence near the mass grave, and every day at noon when the sun was at its hottest and the resentment was weaker, he would rely on the little spiritual power stored in his spiritual veins to go to the mass grave to look for Wei Wuxian...
The outer circle of the mass graves had to be walked, and the inner circle had to be flown. The further in, the more resentful it became, and Jiang Cheng's body could no longer bear it, so he couldn't stay there for long...
So every time he walked a little further in, Jiang Cheng would throw some pills, food, clothes in... hoping that if Wei Wuxian picked up one of these things, it would also help Wei Wuxian...
After half a month of this, the old man found Jiang Cheng. Seeing that Jiang Cheng was being corroded by resentment, he insisted on taking Jiang Cheng away...
After hearing Jiang Cheng say, "I know, no matter where you say you want to take me, I will definitely not be able to beat you, but my legs are on my body. If you take me away once, I will come back once. If you take me away ten times, I will come back ten times..."
The old man couldn't persuade Jiang Cheng, and he felt really bad for him, so he said, "You wait." and left...
