Starting My Cultivation With Time Management - Chapter 1108 - 75: Li An Evaluates Husband, Long Hu Seeks Father
Chapter 1108: Chapter 75: Li An Evaluates Husband, Long Hu Seeks Father
Rewinding time, Jiang Lian, along with her sister Qing Shang, lost track of the Sun True Obscure Sword. She then returned to search for her husband Wei Dongliu’s whereabouts.
Arriving at the opening of the Southeast Sky, Jiang the Witch pointed downward and said:
“Back then, it was right below here. We missed him by a step, and he got away.”
“I pursued him using the Art of Virtualization, but his Earth Escape speed wasn’t slow either. In the end, I couldn’t catch him… So, I need to rely on your Art Calculation skills to figure out that guy’s whereabouts for me.”
“I see, sister, please be calm.” Qing Shang raised her right hand to her mouth and exhaled a long breath of black smoke.
“What’s this?” Jiang the Witch asked curiously.
“The Art of Qi Observation,” Qing Shang replied, “It’s my method of Art Calculation; my skills are lacking, please don’t laugh at me, sister.”
“How do you observe qi?” Jiang the Witch carefully examined the black smoke, yet couldn’t make heads or tails of it.
“How should I explain this?” Qing Shang hesitated, “Sister, look, the flow and direction of this qi, does it go here first, then here, and then here? This trajectory is called the ’Dragon Gate Hang’ in Art Calculation; it’s so-called as the dragon flies through the Nine Heavens and collapses midway…”
Before she could say much, Jiang Lian felt dizzy, and her ears buzzed. She quickly interrupted, “Okay, okay, I get it… So where is my husband?”
“I don’t know,” Qing Shang truthfully replied.
“Don’t know?!” Jiang Lian’s eyebrows shot up, and her killing intent was palpable. Qing Shang hurriedly explained:
“No, no, the information is too little, so the Qi Observation is blurry. You need to provide more detailed information, sister.”
“What kind of information?” Jiang the Witch frowned and asked.
“Anything will do,” Qing Shang replied, “Names, ages, personalities, past events, etc. The more, the better, but it must be precise. Better one truth than a hundred lies.”
“Hmm.” Jiang Lian began to recall, “The name is Wei Dongliu… No, that might be a fake name. Age is unknown, personality is hard to say, he’s always mysterious and loves to create false impressions, that counts, I guess.”
Qing Shang listened with a face full of awkwardness, thinking just from this information, if it’s divined, it would be a blessing from the Heavenly Dao.
But she knew better, her sister was of a violent and unreasonable disposition. Even if the information she provided was incomplete, if it couldn’t be calculated, it would surely be her fault.
So Qing Shang had to gather her courage and said:
“Sister, if you’re unsure, you can skip it, and just tell me anything you’re more certain of.”
“Um.” Jiang the Witch pondered, “Very weak, does that count?”
Isn’t most of the Human Race weak? Qing Shang thought to herself and questioned, “Very weak? Is it referring to a low realm? Weak strength? Or a soft personality?”
“Hmm, quite weak in bed,” Jiang Lian nodded, “Completely at my mercy, always defeated in battle, collapsing in a fierce fight, and never getting back up.”
Qing Shang froze for quite a while before she realized what her sister meant, and her mind was left in disarray.
Can that even be talked about? Never mind, let’s just try to calculate it first.
“Anything else?” She continued to ask, “Does he have any relatives or such?”
“He has two disciples,” Jiang Lian added, “One is called Guo Jin, slow and honest; the other is Wang Cong, clever and cunning. They are both at Mount Wutai on the Mortal Life Path, watching over the sect for me.”
“I see.” Qing Shang noted in her mind: Her sister is active at Mount Wutai, I should stay away from there in the future, “I’ll calculate and see for now.”
She exhaled another breath of black smoke, observed for a moment, and even a few black lines seemed to hang from her forehead as she awkwardly said:
“Sister, um… according to the Qi Observation results, the one most closely related to these two, meaning their master, seems to be you.”
Jiang Lian was slightly stunned, instinctively thinking it impossible!
Then, she suddenly thought: Wait, after my husband took in those two disciples, did he do any teaching or problem-solving?
It seems he just took the title of master and left all the follow-up work to me!
Seeing her sister’s grim expression, Qing Shang probably guessed something and said:
“If you can’t recall, sister, you could also take me to where brother-in-law usually lives and see if there’s any evidence for divination.”
“Let’s go then.” Jiang the Witch descended the steps and led Qing Shang away from the East Sea, flying towards Mount Wutai.
On the Mortal Life Path at Mount Wutai, using “tumultuous” to describe it recently would not be an exaggeration.
The sect master and the Sect Guardian Immortal both disappeared consecutively, which would cause upheaval in any other sect. But the Mortal Life Path has yet to collapse, thanks to a very strong-willed Deputy Sect Master.
Anyone who tried to form factions or storm the Dharma Transmission Hall to seize sect resources, whether Golden Core or Nascent Soul, were all killed with one palm without resistance.
Most of the Demon Cult members are practical. Seeing this endeavor was futile, they quietly receded. Some even attempted to urge her to remove the “Deputy” title, but Wang Cong put a stop to it.
Currently, most of the sect’s administrative affairs and trivial matters are judged by Wang Cong and overseen by Guo Jin.
The former is clever and insightful, able to see through petty schemes below, while the latter is consistently steady and won’t adopt radical strategies, which allows the Mortal Life Path to barely stabilize.
Jiang Lian led her sister, storming into the main hall, calling Guo Jin and Wang Cong to her side.
