Spiritual Herbs
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Jiang Chengxuan was hesitant to agree.
He knew very well how much risk he had to take to go to the front line and be in charge of guarding a defensive city.
Also, him taking charge of a defensive city meant that many of the Jiang family members had to go along.
At that time, how many lives would be left in that place forever?
Although the defensive city would be equipped with a defensive array,
However, it was hard to say how useful the defensive array could be against a large beast riot that only appeared once in a hundred years.
Nothing was predictable. Even he and Shen Ruyan weren’t confident they could survive it.
However, Jiang Chengxuan also knew that it was impossible for them to steer clear of the responsibility.
How could there be a perfect egg when the nest was overturned?
Moreover, it was Hua Mengyou, a core elder of the Jade Water Sword Pavilion, who had personally come to talk to him in such a polite manner.
If he did not know what was good for him or did not appreciate it.
Then, what awaited the Jiang family in the future would probably not be a negotiation, but an order.
At that time, as a cultivation family in the Liang Nation, would they dare to disobey the order?
If so, the consequences would be very heavy.
Therefore, the wisest choice was to agree and then ask for as many benefits as possible.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chengxuan immediately reached out to help Hua
Mengyou up and said seriously,
“Fellow Daoist Hua, you don’t have to do this.”
As he spoke, Jiang Chengxuan continued,
“1 understand what you’re saying.
As a cultivation family in the Liang Nation, we have no reason to disagree.
However, with my wife and my current strength, I’m afraid we’re still not strong enough to really guard a defensive city.”
“Well…”
When Hua Mengyou heard Jiang Chengxuan’s words, she roughly understood what he meant.
After some thought, Hua Mengyou smiled again. She looked at Jiang Chengxuan and nodded.
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, what you said does make sense. I wonder if you need anything now?
Or rather, is there anything we can do to help?”
Jiang Chengxuan smiled and nodded.
“Currently, my wife and 1 are both cultivating a divine power.
If only we could have a high-grade Level 3 lightning-element spiritual item and a high-grade Level 3 five-element spiritual item.”
Hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s words, Hua Mengyou frowned slightly.
High-grade Level 3 lightning-element spiritual items and high-grade Level 3 five-element spiritual items were rare good things even for her.
However, at the same time, Hua Mengyou had to admit that Jiang Chengxuan was indeed very good at making the best use of every opportunity.
At this moment, it was not easy for her to refuse.
Moreover, she believed that her sect, or rather, her Shifu, would not reject Jiang Chengxuan’s reasonable request.
She thought for a moment and nodded at Jiang Chengxuan.
“When I go back, I’ll report this to Shifu and the sect. 1 believe it shouldn’t be a problem.
Once there’s a result, 1’11 send you and your wife a message immediately.”
“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Hua.”
Jiang Chengxuan immediately smiled and expressed his gratitude.
After that, the two of them discussed what might happen next.
At the same time, Jiang Chengxuan tried his best to fight for more benefits for the Jiang family.
The fact that Jiang Chengxuan didn’t treat himself as an outsider almost made Hua Mengyou lose her temper.
Fortunately, the negotiation ended on friendly terms.
Hua Mengyou stood up with a smile and said to Jiang Chengxuan,
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, that’s all for today.
It’s getting late, so I won’t stay here any longer.”
As she spoke, Hua Mengyou walked out of the guest hall.
Seeing this, Jiang Chengxuan also stood up and personally sent Hua Mengyou out of Mount Mystic Tai.
After that, Jiang Chengxuan called the family head, Jiang Renyi, Jiang Rendao and Liu Linglong over and told them what Hua Mengyou had just told him. Hearing his words, their expressions turned solemn.
“Granduncle, what should we do next?
Should we agree to the Jade Water Sword Pavilion?”
Jiang Rendao could not help but ask.
Hearing his words, Jiang Renyi and Liu Linglong also looked at Jiang Chengxuan.
Jiang Chengxuan nodded.
“We have no choice. I’ve already promised them.”
“Have you promised them already?”
The three of them were stunned.
But soon, a realization dawned on them..
