Chapter 485: Chapter 271: I Don’t Know How to Lose

It was indeed surprising that the Ji Family missed the test.

Normally, they should have had enough time.

But there were too many unexpected events this time.

First, the Secret Realm changed, and second, Jiang Man came out too quickly.

But what’s missed is missed.

Faking it didn’t matter.

Because most people still believed Jiang Man was marrying Ji Meng of the Side Branch.

These people would naturally look down on him.

But a very small number of the Ji Family who knew the rumors would speak up for him.

And as the instigators, the Grand Elder Council would be even more enthusiastic.

Ji Meng took a sip of water and mused for a moment before asking, "Who won the fight between Young Master Ji and Peak Master Bai?"

"They fought for so long, and no one knows the final result, but I think Young Master Ji must have won." Qing Dai said with a smile, "Peak Master Bai hasn’t left his residence since the fight, but Young Master Ji is still often out and about. I was almost tempted to go and observe the process back then.

"It’s truly a shame we couldn’t witness Young Master Ji’s methods."

The Ji Family was still uncertain just how far the new Celestial Pride had grown.

If they could see him in action, they would be able to understand a great deal.

Unfortunately, they were only out as Primordial Spirits. Unless they used the power of their main bodies, they couldn’t observe a battle that had been deliberately sealed off.

After a pause, Qing Dai continued, "Once the rumors from the Ji Family get out, many things concerning you, milady, will become complicated. I’m afraid the Bai Family Ancestor will come looking for you soon, and it’s only a matter of time before he makes a move."

Ji Meng set down her water cup and said calmly, "It has indeed become a bit more complicated. With the Evil God so active now, the situation will be even more complex."

"It seems I’ll have to prepare to ambush and kill the Bai Family Ancestor. His Cultivation should be about the same as ours," Qing Dai said. Then, as if remembering something, she asked, "Then isn’t Master Jiang in great danger too? He’ll become the center of the whirlpool."

Not only that, but many people will start guessing how long he will live.

From the moment he married you, milady, everyone would subconsciously be thinking about this question.

Because anyone with the Unparalleled Celestial Pride Fate Chart meets the same end.

It’s just that it’s still early and their Realms are still low, so things are peaceful for now.

"I’ve become an ancestor?" Jiang Man asked, looking at Ji Hao with a stunned expression as he left the Law Enforcement Hall’s prison.

"It is indeed a bit unexpected," Ji Hao said with a gentle smile. "It was a decision made by the family’s upper echelons for the sake of the family’s interests. As for the specifics, I have no way of knowing.

"But it does feel a bit absurd.

"Yet the fact is, it was approved and is being carried out."

Jiang Man had thought his cover was blown. ’So this is how it happened,’ he mused.

’Why would the Ji Family’s upper echelons have such an absurd idea?’

’What kind of benefit would make Meng Qiewei nod in agreement?’

’It’s all a bit baffling, but in the eyes of the Ji Family’s upper echelons, am I just the fake Dao partner of Meng Qiewei?’

’Good thing I’m the real deal, or I’d be suffering for nothing.’

"So the Ji Family will give me a Life-Protecting Treasure, and if I’m killed, I’ll be teleported back?" Jiang Man asked.

Ji Hao nodded. "Not just you. Ji Meng will have one too. Of course, your marriage alliance won’t change. After you ’fail’ and return, you can come out again. That’s when your identities will be announced."

Jiang Man thought to himself, ’There will be no need for an announcement, because Ji Meng won’t be coming out.’

’How will your Ji Family clean up this mess then?’

Although he didn’t quite understand the Ji Family’s methods, he recognized a major problem. As Meng Qiewei’s Dao partner, he was bound to attract attention from many different parties, especially the recently emerged Bai Family Ancestor.

That man seemed to be at odds with Meng Qiewei and wanted to kill her avatar.

Now, there was a good chance Jiang Man himself would be targeted.

It seemed that finding this person and "sending him back" really needed to be prioritized.

He had to get in touch with True Master Tai Hua as soon as possible and use his information network to try and find the Bai Family Ancestor.

However, not even Tai Hua would dare to search for him openly.

It would take a considerable amount of time.

"So, what should I do now?" Jiang Man asked curiously.

’Now that my status has changed, does that mean what I do has to change as well?’

"Just keep up your Cultivation. Even if this news spreads, only a limited number of powerful experts will learn of it. Very few people in this Sect will know," Ji Hao said.

"So nothing changes?" Jiang Man asked.

"The only change is whether powerful experts are watching you from the shadows. No matter how this kind of news spreads, it won’t reach the Sect." Ji Hao paused for a moment before continuing, "Actually, there is one other change. It’s possible that certain people might be bribed to test you."

Speaking of which, Ji Hao was curious about the Ji Family’s test.

Jiang Man told him the truth: he had never seen it.

Hearing this, Ji Hao sounded rather helpless. "Now the Ji Family will have to fabricate the results. This brings a new change: you’ll be criticized for this fabrication.

"In the perception of some powerful experts, it will simply mean your strength is insufficient.

"Which is also a good thing."

Jiang Man didn’t care about any of this; it had no effect on him.

Besides, he was already at the Primordial Spirit Realm. It was only a matter of time before his brilliance shone upon the Ji Family.

"This matter of your status is not a small one, but the direct impact on you right now is minimal. Still, the Ji Family will offer compensation." Ji Hao looked at Jiang Man and said, "Tell me what you want."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man immediately perked up. ’I know this one.’

He immediately said, "I’ll leave it to Mr. Ji’s discretion."

Ji Hao looked at Jiang Man and asked with a smile, "What is your current Cultivation?"

"Early Stage of Primordial Spirit," Jiang Man replied truthfully.

Ji Hao looked surprised. "Your progress is very fast. In that case, I’ll give you a Top-grade Cultivation Method. You can choose carefully and see what kind of cultivation skill you want.

"Then, I’ll give you a copy of Primordial Spirit Insights. For this one, I’ll need to check your condition and then write a new version tailored for you.

"Additionally, here are two hundred thousand Spiritual Sources. Since we aren’t giving you any Magic Skills or Magical Treasures, I’ll add another hundred thousand Spiritual Sources.

"That makes it three hundred thousand Spiritual Sources in total.

"And finally, the Life-Protecting Treasure from the Ji Family."

Listening to the long list of items, Jiang Man felt that a person must always strive to learn and make up for their own shortcomings.
