Chapter 664: Jiang Zuo Saw Sister Jingyue

“That won’t be necessary,” Jiang Zuo said directly.

He didn’t care if someone investigated him. Or rather, he was confident no one could find anything on him.

His very being came with the effect of obscuring Celestial Secrets; investigating him was no simple matter.

As for his personal information?

He cared even less about that. Even if the investigators got lucky and found him in person, so what?

As long as it wasn’t Su Qi, he had nothing to worry about.

If they had any hostile intent, he would notice them the moment they got close.

And he’d just eliminate them, simple as that.

He was only being so secretive for Su Qi’s sake.

Hearing Jiang Zuo’s answer, the old man was stunned. This man didn’t play by the book.

Then the old man said, “Then what do you need, my friend?”

Jiang Zuo shook his head. “I don’t need anything. This prize is useless to me, so my luck shouldn’t be so bad that I win again.”

The old man: “…”

Jiang Ran: “…”

‘Luck shouldn’t be so bad?’

‘Is that something a normal person would say?’

They didn’t know, and they didn’t dare to ask.

The old man said, “How about this. You give me the prize, and I’ll help you out in the future. You can ask for anything, anytime. There must be a time you’ll have a use for us, right? As long as it’s reasonable, I’ll do it. How about it?”

‘If I just let him keep winning and disrupting the balance of the event, what would happen to the Tianhe Group’s reputation?’

Jiang Zuo said, “Finding you would be too much trouble.”

The old man said, “I’ll place a box in the sales hall, right next to the trash can. You can just toss it in there.”

That was fine by him, so Jiang Zuo nodded.

“Then, regarding the event, if the staff sees your work ID, I’ll have them contact me directly. I’ll contact you then. Sound good?” After all, this was a private arrangement. Without permission from Po Xiao, he didn’t dare to act too freely.

Besides, he would need Jiang Zuo’s contact information.

Jiang Zuo had no objections to that either.

The old man asked, “Then, do you need me to update your recorded cultivation level?”

He could tell the young man was Tier Three.

Jiang Zuo shook his head. If he needed to update his cultivation level, he would go get tested himself.

With that, their business was concluded, and Jiang Zuo got up to leave.

He wanted to go to Sister Jingyue’s place now. If Su Qi wasn’t there, he would help get the array sorted out.

After all, Su Qi often hung around over there.

As Jiang Zuo walked out, the old man shot up from his seat. His first instinct was to record the Array Map on the table.

His eyes were shining as if he had seen some rare and precious treasure.

Jiang Ran was confused. “Senior, this is…?”

The old man said, “You don’t understand. You have no idea what this map is worth. It’s not something you can buy with Spirit Stones.”

His lack of concern about winning the prize stems from a truly solid foundation.”

Jiang Ran asked, still confused, “Then why didn’t he just erase it?”

It was drawn with Spiritual Qi; a single wave of his hand would have made it dissipate.

But why didn’t he do that?

‘Is there some deeper meaning to it?’

The old man said, “Because he doesn’t care. In his eyes, this is just an ordinary thing. This very attitude is the greatest testament to his profound background. His foundation is so strong it’s incomprehensible.”

Jiang Ran was stunned.

Meanwhile, Jiang Zuo, who was outside, naturally didn’t care about the diagram. To him, that simple map was like child’s play.

But for others to try and comprehend it would be a near-impossible task.

The greatest truths are the simplest. The saying is simple, but putting it into practice is monumentally difficult.

As Jiang Zuo was leaving the conference room, Jingyue arrived at Marketing Department One, but she didn’t see him there.

‘This is a good start.’

Then she went to Department Two.

Soon, she didn’t see Jiang Zuo there either.

‘This is a bad start.’

She decided to wander around a bit, to see if Jiang Zuo might show up in Department Two.

‘But Jiang Zuo knows Magic, so it’s not unusual for him to be here. I’ll have to look for his work ID.’

This time, Jingyue just hoped she would succeed in finding him.

But just as she turned to search elsewhere, Jiang Zuo came down the hallway, walking up behind her.

At that moment, Jingyue glanced back curiously, but there was no one there.

Jiang Zuo had already turned a corner behind her, heading for Department One.

She had, after all, glanced to her right, while Jiang Zuo had gone left.

Jingyue had a strange feeling. She looked all around but saw nothing.

She didn’t dwell on it and decided to continue her search.

Jiang Zuo, of course, had seen Sister Jingyue when he turned the corner, but he wasn’t the least bit flustered.

He had walked forward, and in the instant Sister Jingyue turned her head, he had stepped into the hallway leading to Department One.

He then quickly crossed the corridor, moving out of Sister Jingyue’s range of vision.

None of this caused the slightest emotional ripple in Jiang Zuo.

He wasn’t worried about being discovered by Sister Jingyue at all.

Because she was incapable of spotting him.

After that, Jiang Zuo quickly headed for Sister Jingyue’s villa.

‘Sister Jingyue is here, which means Su Qi must be at home.’

Yes, Su Qi was at home. She was very busy; after watching TV, she would tease Sweet Potato and the others, which took a lot of time.

‘If we have kids in the future, will I be even busier?’ she wondered.

But through it all, she never once thought about focusing on her Cultivation.

What she thought about most today was waiting for her husband to come home and figuring out how to make him happy (imagine Su Qi smiling here).

————

It took no time at all for Jiang Zuo to appear before Jingyue’s villa, shrouded by the Mist.

Mm, there were quite a few people here, all of them trying to break the array. After all, the commission had just been posted today.

This was the Saintess’s residence, after all. Although the Saintess rarely lived here (few people knew Jingjing was the Saintess), having their array chosen would be major bragging rights.

The one watching the house was, naturally, Qing Lian.

Jiang Zuo leaped onto the roof. None of these people could even spot him.

He looked around and immediately knew how he would set up the array.

He then took out an Array Stone. It was a single stone, yet it was also one hundred and eight stones.

The one hundred and eight Array Stones spread out, settled into their correct positions, and formed a rather large array.

This array perfectly enveloped the villa.

Next, Jiang Zuo controlled the Array Stones, causing them to descend.

After the Array Stones landed, Jiang Zuo branded their runes onto the ground. Once the runes were imprinted, he tossed down one hundred and eight First-Grade Spirit Stones to ensure they wouldn’t dissipate.

Jiang Zuo then retrieved his Array Stones and took out a new set of one hundred and eight.

He had many Array Stones now, all given to him by Jian Shisan before he entered the Celestial Star Cave Mansion.

He then tossed down the one hundred and eight Array Stones.

The Array Stones and the runes resonated with each other. The Array Stones anchored the runes, while the runes enabled the Array Stones to transform, allowing them to generate all sorts of array variations.

As long as they were within the area of effect, these one hundred and eight Array Stones could generate all kinds of arrays.

It was fully equipped for offense, defense, and entrapment.

However, unlike the arrays Jiang Zuo used personally, this one was fixed and immobile.

Its power was considerable. With enough Spirit Stones, it could even hold off a Tier Six expert for a while.

Without a supply of Spirit Stones, it would have to absorb ambient energy on its own, and a full-force assault from a Tier Five could break through.
