Chapter 663: A Personal Visit to Tianhe Group

Jingyue was conflicted.

She had always known Jiang Zuo was no ordinary person, and she was curious about what made him so special.

But she never had any leads. It was all so baffling.

Of course, Magic didn’t count.

Now that she was almost certain Po Xiao wasn’t Jiang Zuo, she felt very frustrated. It was as if all her efforts had been for nothing.

If she couldn’t get a hold of some leverage on Jiang Zuo, how could she stand by and watch the drama unfold with an all-knowing air?

As the Saintess and an older sister figure, how could she be as clueless as that little complainer, Su Qi?

But she couldn’t find a single thing.

‘So, should I really go in person after all?’

If it really was Jiang Zuo, there was a high chance he was in Department Two.

Even if he wasn’t in Department Two, she could go to Department One to check.

However, both departments had procedures for off-site work, so confirming if he was there wouldn’t be easy.

Asking around wasn’t a good idea; it would be bad if he noticed her snooping.

She might never get another chance to find some leverage on him.

Jingyue didn’t really care what path Jiang Zuo walked. Even if he took a heterodox path or went astray, she wouldn’t mind.

The one who needed to worry about that was the little complainer.

The little complainer’s decision was what was truly important.

It didn’t have much to do with her.

With that, Jingyue set off for Tianhe Group.

At that moment, Jiang Ran called Jiang Zuo away. “Someone is looking for you.”

Jiang Zuo glanced at Jiang Ran. Although he didn’t know who was looking for him, he followed along.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ran, who was walking in front, was inwardly in shock.

‘Tier Three.’

‘Two months ago, I had clearly seen that he was only at 1.1.’

‘In just two short months, he had actually reached Tier Three, and his Cultivation is faintly above my own.’

‘Is the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Technique really that terrifying?’

Jiang Ran didn’t know, but he could no longer look down on Po Xiao. The shock of it was deeply unsettling.

Back then, he hadn’t thought much of him. In his eyes, Po Xiao’s refusal to show him any deference had been incredibly foolish.

Now, he suddenly felt how perfectly normal it was for someone like that to not give him any face.

‘This is Cultivation.’

Soon, Jiang Zuo was led to a conference room again. After entering, Jiang Zuo saw an old man.

He was looking at Jiang Zuo, and Jiang Zuo was looking back at him.

Finally, the old man said, “Have a seat.”

Jiang Zuo sat down.

Jiang Ran, meanwhile, walked over to stand behind the old man.

Jiang Zuo sat in his seat without a word. ‘He’s a Tier Five expert, and he can make Jiang Ran stand behind him. He must be someone from the Group.’

‘I heard last time that I was being watched. It’s probably because of the prizes I won.’

‘I happened to win again today, so they must have come looking for me.’

Just then, the old man tapped on the tabletop, and an Array Map instantly appeared.

This Array Map had no real power; it was just for display, which was why it could appear with a single tap.

“Can you solve it?” the old man asked.

Jiang Zuo didn’t understand. ‘This is indeed a type of Trapping Array, but could this thing actually trap anyone?’

‘Even a child’s game wouldn’t be this simple, would it?’

Seeing Jiang Zuo remain silent, the old man added, “You can’t?”

Only then did Jiang Zuo make a move. He also tapped lightly on the tabletop.

Afterward, another Array Map appeared. This one covered the old man’s, yet it seemed to have fewer patterns.

It looked even simpler.

Then, Jiang Zuo asked, “Can you solve it?”

As he overlaid his map, Jiang Zuo had already solved the old man’s array. Any expert would have understood.

The old man frowned, looking a little angry.

It wasn’t because his array had been solved.

It was because this person was simply too arrogant.

‘Giving me a problem to solve?’

‘Such disrespect for his elders.’

The old man then glanced at the Array Map. He planned to solve it in an instant, then give him a difficult one to make him recognize his… his own place.

The moment he got a clear look at the Array Map, the old man froze. His eyes practically bulged out of their sockets.

He immediately stood up and took another, closer look.

‘How is this possible?’

‘It clearly looks so simple, just an ordinary Trapping Array.’

‘But… but…’

‘I… I… actually… can’t understand it.’

‘How is that possible?’

It was indeed a Trapping Array, and a very ordinary one at that. But he actually couldn’t find a way out of such a simple Array.

Because he didn’t understand it at all.

This type of Array was far beyond his comprehension.

Finally, the old man sank weakly back into his seat.

Although Jiang Ran, who stood to the side, couldn’t understand the arrays, he understood one thing.

This senior couldn’t solve Po Xiao’s Array Map.

And he had suffered a considerable blow from it.

This made Jiang Ran even more bewildered. ‘Who on earth is he?’

Jiang Zuo asked, “Did you call me here just for this?”

The old man shook his head. He was now certain that there was definitely a powerful, hidden existence backing this person.

This kind of deep-seated heritage was simply not something an ordinary Sect could possess.

This person was not to be provoked.

Moreover, he was cultivating the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Technique. It was highly likely he had entered the mortal world to perfect the technique.

After composing himself for a moment, the old man shook his head. “No, I just wanted to know if it was luck or skill.”

Jiang Zuo didn’t understand.

The old man said, “It’s about the warehouse.”

Alright, Jiang Zuo understood now. The warehouse event had also been created by these people. It was only normal for them to seek him out.

Then the old man continued, “There’s also something else I want to ask. How did you win those prizes?

“You should know, the odds of winning are terrifyingly low. No one has won in years.”

Jiang Zuo said, “She handed it to me, I opened it, and I won.”

The old man said, “That’s it?”

Jiang Zuo said, “What else?”

The old man said, “Shouldn’t you have burned some incense, washed your hands, blown on it for luck, or performed a divination?”

Jiang Zuo: “…, I couldn’t be bothered.”

Old man: “…, so you threw it in the trash both times?”

Jiang Zuo replied, “What else?”

The old man fell silent, but Jiang Ran was shocked. ‘Threw it in the trash?’

‘That thing is a grand prize for anyone, isn’t it?’

‘And he just threw it in the trash?’

‘Twice?’

‘Does he really not care about it at all?’

‘Whether it’s guidance or resources, both are incredibly rare, right?’

‘Even if he doesn’t need them now, he could have saved them. If all else failed, he could have sold them.’

‘Is this guy a normal person?’

‘No, someone who cultivates the Seven Emotions and Six Desires Technique can’t be considered normal.’

‘But his profound background is also undeniable, isn’t it?’

‘Just what power is backing him?’

Just then, the old man spoke up. “Are you planning to buy anything else soon?”

Jiang Zuo shook his head. “Not for now.”

The old man pulled himself together. Since he had confirmed that this person was extraordinary, there was no need to overthink it. He didn’t need to be too worried, as there were no misunderstandings between them.

Furthermore, the young man hadn’t taken any drastic actions.

It seemed they could still communicate and even make deals peacefully.

The old man said, “Let’s make a deal.”

Jiang Zuo looked at the old man without a word. ‘To be honest, I’m not interested.’

“If you win again next time, you can bring the prize to me. Also, if there’s another event, could we discuss your participation beforehand?” the old man said.

Jiang Zuo said, “Too troublesome.”

The old man was taken aback. ‘He’s not even going to ask what’s in it for him?’

The old man then continued, “I can help you destroy all your records. As time goes on, many people will surely become curious about your origins. Although the Group is secure, there’s always a risk.

“And I can help you. Anything related to you within the Tianhe Group can be destroyed.”
