Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Because of a sudden inspiration, Shi Ying packed up the pleasure boat and took Jiang Cheng to Qinghe. Before leaving, Jiang Wanyin was particularly dissatisfied with them going to help Nie family solve their problems.

Jiang Wanyin said worriedly, "Although the Qinghe Nie family and our Yunmeng Jiang family are listed as the four great families, in fact, they don't interact as much with the former Qishan Wen family. My mother once disliked Wen Ruohan for not liking to go out after he got the Yin Iron. You two suddenly came to our house and said you wanted to help the Nie family. Aren't you afraid that the Immortal Supervisor will treat you two as evil spirits and imprison you for interrogation?"

Jiang Cheng was grateful for Jiang Wanyin's concern, but he also felt that Jiang Wanyin was overthinking. "I have always had a good relationship with Nie Huaisang. Although Nie Huaisang here may not know me, I don't plan to go directly to his house. I just think that Shi Ying and I accidentally heard the rumors about the Man-Eating Castle, so we came here specifically to exorcise the evil spirit."

Jiang Wanyin saw that Jiang Cheng looked down on Nie Mingjue and Nie Huaisang, and couldn't help but feel anxious, and raised his tone, "Do you think Nie Mingjue is just a traitor? He has been able to support a large family like Qinghe Nie Clan since he was thirteen years old, and he has a younger brother who switched to swordsmanship but is also good at poetry and books. The Qinghe Nie Clan was the first top family to be burned down by the Qishan Wen Clan, but look at him, Nie Mingjue, who immediately replaced Wen Ruohan as the Immortal Leader!"

To be honest, Nie Mingjue becoming the Immortal Leader had nothing to do with Wen Ruohan or anything like that. It was entirely the result of a balance of power among the four great families.

At that time, Jiang Wanyin was a brand new junior, and he had taken over the position of clan leader longer than Nie Mingjue, or even Lan Huan of the Gusu Lan Clan. So he simply pretended to be uninterested on the surface, and secretly muttered to his peers Nie Mingjue and Lan Huan that Jin Guangshan was using his power to bully others in an attempt to become the second Wen Ruohan.

Then the Nie and Lan families also disliked Jin Guangshan, so Nie Mingjue recommended himself, and Lan Huan immediately spoke out in support, and the position of Immortal Supervisor fell on Nie Mingjue.

If one had not experienced so much with Jiang Wanyin, one would have thought that Nie Mingjue's reputation for being ruthless and hating evil was all he had. However, not only did he experience the death of his parents and the burning of the Lotus Pier, he also experienced the Sun Shooting Campaign and the encirclement of Wei Wuxian at Qiongqi Road, and he also spent some time with Jiang Cheng and Shi Ying. He is no longer the same person he used to be.

Jiang Wanyin still spoke earnestly: "You also said that there is a terrifying man-eating fortress on the base of Qinghe Nie family. Is this enough to prove that their Nie family is no different from others?!"

Jiang Wanyin's kindness was not to be wasted, so in order to make up for Shi Ying, Jiang Cheng took a boat eastward to Gusu and then went upstream. Although this route planning did not support taking the water route to Qinghe, it finally gave an explanation to Shi Ying.

Yunmengze was a boundless lake in ancient legends. With the dredging of the surrounding water networks and the changes of the world, it is no longer so-called boundless. But today, Yunmengze is still a big lake that is hard for ordinary people to imagine. Especially in the center of the lake, although there are many islands, a maze is also formed. When Jiang Cheng chose a place of seclusion for the Wen family of Dafan Mountain, he first selected an island close to the center of Yunmengze.

Although they still don't know what the exact situation of Yunmengze in this world is, Jiang Cheng and Shi Ying, who are both skilled and courageous, obviously don't care about this little difficulty. As soon as they leave the Lotus Pier, they drive their pleasure boat directly to the center of Yunmengze.

I won’t know if I don’t go there, but I’ll be shocked when I go.

Jiang Cheng saw from afar that smoke was coming out of several familiar small islands on the central edge of Yunmeng Lake!

Before Jiang Cheng and Shi Ying used their spiritual sense to investigate, they had never thought that the smoke that was different from water vapor was actually cooking smoke. When their pleasure boat got a little closer, they used their spiritual sense to investigate and saw that on the largest island with smoke, there were actually a dozen people busy cutting wood and sorting wood, and some were cooking in the open air with pots!

Jiang Cheng probed into the pot with his spiritual sense, wow!

There was braised pork in the pot!

Then Shi Ying chuckled and turned around and said with a helpless smile: "It turns out to be Master Wei."

Jiang Cheng was interrupted by Shi Ying and immediately withdrew his consciousness. He was a little bit unbelievable when he heard Shi Ying's words, "Isn't he still in Lingnan? He didn't say he would come back."

Shi Ying could only guess: "Perhaps Master Wei heard you say that the Wen family of Mount Dafan was settled on this island. He felt that there was a ready-made example to copy. Besides, the Jinling Terrace is in chaos now. Maybe they can go up there and bring Wen Ning out in the next two years."

I have to say, this makes a lot of sense.

Jiang Cheng immediately activated the formation of the pleasure boat, which not only made the entire boat completely invisible, but also floated lightly. Even the traces of water on the lake surface disappeared completely. No matter who came, they would not be able to detect that someone was paddling a boat on the lake.

When the pleasure boat got closer, Jiang Cheng discovered that there were people tidying up the dock on the other side of the island!

Shi Ying stood beside Jiang Cheng and moved closer, now half of her body was touching him, and asked faintly, "Do you want to come over and talk?"

Jiang Cheng was startled by the noise he made next to his ear. After a moment's reaction, he replied, "Let's not go over there. The people working over there don't look like real people. They are more likely to be puppets. Let's think of a way to help him remove those traces."

Wei Wuxian has his own ideas. As a visitor from another world, it is enough for him to have achieved what he has now, so he should not interfere with other things.

Shi Ying felt very touched that Jiang Cheng had such an understanding. He was sure that Jiang Cheng was influenced by him and gave up the idea of ​​intervening in everything. It was really good now.

Jiang Cheng controlled the pleasure boat and secretly observed for a long time, and found that this place was indeed sparsely populated. However, after asking Shi Ying, he hid the smoke that exposed the whereabouts of Wei Wuxian and the others. As for the various boats they used to enter and leave the island, there were already many boats in places with water, so no matter what they were carrying, it would not be conspicuous. This was one of the benefits of having so many people coming and going.

The pleasure boat just appeared here and sailed away. Lan Zhan, who appeared in a small boat, noticed the very familiar pleasure boat of Jiang Cheng and Shi Ying. However, he said nothing after he met up with Wei Wuxian. After all, Wei Wuxian didn't mention that he had met Jiang Cheng and Shi Ying, and he never had the habit of talking too much.

But in private, he couldn't help but wonder where Jiang Cheng and Shi Ying were going. He had heard Jiang Wanyin say before that they intended to go out to sea to have a look, but the weather at sea was so unpredictable that a pleasure boat like that would have difficulty moving on rivers and lakes, let alone on the sea.

Jiang Cheng and Shi Ying thought that they were outsiders who came suddenly and should have no reputation in this world. But in fact, even though few people knew about their actions in the mass graves of Qiongqi Road, seeing that they had been guests of the Yunmeng Jiang family for such a long time, they must have a good relationship with the Yunmeng Jiang family. Therefore, when they arrived near Gusu, Lan Huan came to meet them specially.
