"Grandpa, this is too deliberate!"
After Qin Ke left, Jiang Qi looked at him helplessly.
Youâve lived for ten thousand years, you shouldnât be making such mistakes!
"Haha!"
Jiang Yudao chuckled, then looked at him disdainfully, "Thatâs why youâre the grandson and Iâm the grandpa!"
"Uhâ"
Jiang Qiâs face darkened instantly.
The words were just words, but why did they sound like an insult?
"Grandpa is just this straightforward! Is there a problem?"
"Do you think, besides Grandpa, thereâs anyone in Great Yu who can decipher those ancient symbols?"
"Even if there were, do you think just with his insignificant status in white robes he could invite them?"
"So....."
"If he wants to know... then he must show Grandpa the book, itâs that simple!"
This is an open strategy!
Blatantly laid out on the table.
Itâs also Jiang Yudaoâs confidence in his own knowledge.
Moreover, he held back a little, actually didnât mark more than 300 words; some important ones he didnât note.
About 100 unrecognized words were left.
"Old fox!"
"You looking for a fight!"
...
"So many words you donât recognize!"
In the study, Chen Xuan furrowed his brows, but then smiled.
"That old man is obviously telling me, if you want to know, give the book to him!"
"Right, but... thereâs no other way!"
Qin Ke felt helpless.
No one in the Molan Mansion understands these ancient symbols.
If you donât agree, you might try at the Imperial City, but... the Imperial City isnât a place you just go; youâd be lost without any direction.
"Master, what do we do now?"
"No rush, Iâll take a look first."
Seeing as there are over 700 marked words already, itâs best to read them first.
Also... that old man probably guessed too!
In that case, he might guess as well!
At least without knowing what the book says, he wonât give it to him.
"By the way, send Liu Si to Lanting Inn to relay a message for me, saying Young Master Qin is invited for a meeting!"
"Master, you.....?"
Qin Ke looked at him peculiarly.
A bold idea flashed through his mind.
"Donât overthink, itâs just a simple meeting! And what nonsense do you have in your head all day; looks like I need to find a girl for you."
"Hungry, huh?"
"Ah.... no, really no need, disciple will go right away!"
Scared, Qin Ke fled hastily.
He really doesnât need a woman now; originally time was scarce, now everything revolves around cultivation.
Women... theyâll never be in shortage.
"Haha...."
Chen Xuan chuckled unkindly seeing this.
Never thought this kid was so resistant against women; never noticed before!
Shaking his head, he then picked up the copied book and began studying it carefully.
For him, now already at the late stage of immortal rank, over 700 words were memorized in mere moments.
Half an hour later!
Chen Xuanâs brows were tightly furrowed, looking at the ancient book.
"Why at crucial moments, several words are unfamiliar?"
Muttering softly.
Coincidence?
No!
"Is that old man doing it intentionally?"
Closing the ancient book, hard to believe, but canât explain!
If his guess is correct.
The elder from Dark Moon Trading Company omitted important words.
Then that old man really has some skills.
Deserves being an old geezer for ten thousand years, quite a surprise.
"Hooâ"
Letting out a long sigh.
Earlier, Chen Xuan thought he could try guessing.
Now thinking with his limited knowledge, how laughable!
Yet, despite this, he gained a lot from the ancient book.
Turns out besides the Eastern Continent, thereâs also the southern, western, northern, and central continents.
And in ancient times, a million years ago, it was one complete continent.
This ancient book mainly records some affairs of the Eastern Continent.
Including the so-called burial ground, probably the Dao Domain mentioned in the book!
And the separation after the continents split, nurtured by heaven and earth.
Nine layers in the Dao Realm!
Each realm breakthrough needs something special from the Dao Domain.
What exactly?
Chen Xuan doesnât know, a few crucial words are unfamiliar.
Casually placing the ancient book on the table, he then walked to the window.
It was evening, the sunset light hitting Chen Xuanâs face, he instinctively raised a hand to shield it.
Looking outside through his fingers.
"Haha!"
Suddenly, Chen Xuan laughed.
"Want to see, huh?"
"Thatâs how youâre playing me?"
"In that case, letâs not see at all!"
...
Lanting Inn.
Qin Ying had her brows knitted.
She didnât expect Chen Xuan to actively seek her again.
"What are you up to?"
With eyes full of doubt, the last time he invited her, the goal was probably probing for information.
So even knowing his connection with the Ning Family, she softened up and told him before leaving.
And now?
Zhuo Ning has already left Molan Mansion, even though still watching the Eastern Domain, itâs just a waste of time.
Or maybe sheâs making a show for the Southern Kingâs people.
Though reluctant to admit, sheâs made up her mind long ago.
"Letâs see what tricks you can pull off!"
...
Some matters, once both know, canât be fully feigned ignorance.
So today, Chen Xuan plans to reveal it all.
As for the outcome... he mostly guesses it in his heart.
Taoling Lake!
Chen Xuan arrived early at the dock.
The young servant from last time stood by, smiling brightly.
Regarding Chen Xuan, he remembered vividly; after all, casually rewarded him with a hundred silver, how could he forget?
