Chapter 639: Chapter 344: The World Is Starting to Mess With Me

Lately, she had been exhausted by the members of Ling Hua Immortal Spirit. How could she let Jiang Man continue to profit? She could accept taking a loss, but she absolutely refused to let the members of Ling Hua Immortal Spirit profit. Seeing them earn Spiritual Sources was worse than losing them herself. The world shouldn’t just benefit these oddballs.

"What do you think the so-called source of the turmoil could be?" Tantai Xiaotian asked.

Hearing this, Tantai Xue hesitated before answering, "It should be something dangerous, right? Didn’t this happen once before?"

Tantai Xiaotian shook his head. "It doesn’t feel like it, but we’ll know in a few days."

The next day.

Tantai Xue received news that they could meet. She was surprised by this, pausing mid-sip of her tea. She wondered if the transaction was already complete. Filled with anticipation, she was eager to see exactly what the source of the turmoil was.

Soon, she entered the ruins, taking her seat on the high chair and waiting. The mist flowed slowly around her feet, not affecting her in the slightest.

When Jiang Man arrived, he still brought light with him. But it wasn’t actually light.

Tantai Xue was very curious about this. To think that Ling Hua Immortal Spirit had such methods; no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t see through his true appearance. She squinted and studied him for a few breaths before giving up.

"Do you have an answer?" Tantai Xue asked as soon as Jiang Man arrived.

Jiang Man took out an envelope. "The details are all inside."

Then, the envelope vanished from his hand and appeared in Tantai Xue’s grasp. This kind of technique made Jiang Man a bit envious. He was very curious about Tantai Xue’s Cultivation. As it stood, she seemed to be on par with Mr. Ji. Both of them were absolute prodigies.

Mr. Yan must truly suffer being guided by those two. What they considered "ordinary requirements" were insurmountable walls even in the eyes of geniuses.

As soon as she received the envelope, Tantai Xue prepared to open it.

"Actually, you can open it when you get back," Jiang Man kindly suggested. "There’s no need to open it here."

"If I have questions about the contents, can I ask you directly?" Tantai Xue inquired.

"Yes." Jiang Man nodded.

After all, he was the one who had written it. It wasn’t a real envelope, but a message condensed from his power. They both understood this, which was why Tantai Xue had asked if she could get a more detailed explanation. Hearing his confirmation, she opened the envelope without the slightest hesitation.

Reading the contents, Tantai Xue’s expression turned odd. She looked at Jiang Man in disbelief, then glanced back at the envelope in her hands as if to confirm something. Finally, she put the envelope down, straightened her posture, and asked, "Are the contents true?"

"That, I cannot answer," Jiang Man said, shaking his head. "This is exactly what I received. Whether it’s true or false is unknown to me."

"And if I want to buy the truth?" Tantai Xue asked.

"Then you’ll have to deal with me, and the price will be steep. You’re better off coming to me than seeking out Zui Fusheng," Jiang Man replied.

Tantai Xue fell silent for a moment. She felt that the world shouldn’t be like this. After going in circles, she had ended up right back where she started. She still had to deliver Spiritual Sources to Ling Hua Immortal Spirit.

She didn’t immediately press him about the message’s authenticity. Instead, she asked Jiang Man what reward the other party had chosen.

One option had been related to the Array Evil God, and the other had some connection to the Water God. In the end, Jiang Man chose the former. The Array Evil God was still more important.

Later.

Tantai Xue returned to her residence, her mood rather low this time. It took a long while before she took a deep breath, slowly sat down, and rested her folded hands on her lap.

"It seems things didn’t go as you wished," Tantai Xiaotian noted. "What answer did you get?"

Hearing this, Tantai Xue took a deep breath. "Zui Fusheng wrote it like this. He said that to know the source of the turmoil, one must talk about a certain matter involving the list.

"He asked if we knew anything about the list."

Tantai Xiaotian remained silent for a moment. "The people on the Immortal Sect’s list are all top-tier powerhouses, a group capable of bringing immense disaster at any moment. What about this list?"

Tantai Xue was a bit surprised by his reaction but continued anyway. "Recently, there’s been news within the Immortal Sect. That person from the Ji Family has married."

"The Ji Family? The Ji Family indeed has someone on the list. It’s a woman. She’s incredibly powerful and exceptionally ruthless. Many in her own family have died by her hands, and an Emperor of the Immortal Court who underestimated her paid an agonizing price." Tantai Xiaotian was puzzled. "But how could she marry? Who could possibly marry her? She wouldn’t even look twice at the others on the list."

"I don’t know the details, but that’s what Zui Fusheng wrote," Tantai Xue said.

"What does this have to do with the turmoil?" Tantai Xiaotian asked.

Tantai Xue answered truthfully, "The issue lies with the person she married. According to Zui Fusheng, an unverified piece of news came from the Immortal Sect’s Ji Family, revealing the identity of her spouse."

"Who is it?"

Tantai Xue took a deep breath. "Wuyun Sect, Inner Sect, Jiang Man."

The moment he heard this name, Tantai Xiaotian’s first reaction was that it was impossible. But even if it was impossible, someone out there would believe it. And who could really say for sure what was true or false? What if it actually was true?

"So the real person at the center of this isn’t Zui Fusheng, but the one passing the message for you?" Tantai Xiaotian asked.

Tantai Xue sighed helplessly. "Senior, how did the world become like this? Is it starting to play tricks on me?"
