Chapter 86: What is Gu Jiangming's Background?

"Qinghe, do you know this brother?" Wang Huaijun, feeling a bit of inexplicable confusion, immediately asked.

The main thing was that his own younger sister's demeanor and tone of voice were both somewhat unnatural.

She had been precocious since childhood and was born with a quirky, clever nature; by the age of sixteen, she had relied on her exceptional vision to make the Wang family's business in Liangzhou flourish and grow increasingly prosperous.

One must know that the Wang Gate Blade of before only held a place in the Northern Wei martial arts world, and in terms of wealth, it could only be called an ordinary wealthy household.

Today, they could be called local powerhouses in Liangzhou.

Furthermore, it happened to be an era when the Northern Wei Imperial Court's control over the regions was loose and declining, so the Wang family was already considered a prestigious, well-regarded clan in the Liangzhou area.

But, having a naturally intelligent younger sister was a good thing.

Yet the problem was that she seemed to have a deep rift with the entire Wang family; from the moment she was born, she felt out of place with the people around her.

Since she was small, when she looked at him, this older brother, there was a sense of strangeness and distance in her gaze.

But fortunately, the entire Wang family was very celebratory regarding the arrival of this daughter, Wang Qinghe, and under so many years of care and affection, this younger sister was no longer as repulsed by the Wang family as she had been back then.

But for this younger sister of his, who was naturally sensible and calm in the face of events, to reveal a rare girlish sentiment upon meeting this white-clad hero, Wang Huaijun naturally could not remain calm.

His heart was full of curiosity.

"I don't know him, it is just our first meeting." Wang Qinghe flatly denied it.

The prompt given to Wang Qinghe by 【Mie Changsheng】 was very simple: she could change the original plot within the scope of her capabilities, but when encountering major characters in the 【Reincarnation】, she must hide her information as a 【Reincarnator】.

If Wang Qinghe had not guessed wrong, the major characters in this 【Reincarnation】 should be Gu Jiangming from the Shushan Incident and his monster lover.

Strictly speaking, she was a third party who could not obtain what she sought.

And according to the requirements given by 【Mie Changsheng】, the sensation it gave her was a very realistic scene recreation, requiring her to follow the plot in the storybook to retrace the original events.

It was just that there was now a problem laid out in the open.

Wang Qinghe had now stayed in the Wang family for over nineteen years; how could you expect her to accept the ending where the Wang family was wiped out by the Baishou Yao?

For so many years, Wang Qinghe had also been using the Wang family's gradually increasing influence to continuously obtain cultivation resources for herself, in order to deal with monsters.

But who could have thought that on this trip to the capital to transport some goods, she would happen to run into Gu Jiangming, who was also heading to the capital.

Hearing Wang Qinghe's words, Gu Jiangming also relaxed from his tense state; the information given by 【Mie Changsheng】 had already confirmed that Jiu Jiu was the Reincarnator.

That Wang Qinghe could appear here meant there must have been some changes, which had caused some variables.

And no matter what, Gu Jiangming could not let Jiu Jiu down in this 【Reincarnation】, because this 【Reincarnation】 was the story of him and Jiu Jiu.

So, he simply made a formal acquaintance.

Gu Jiangming then casually found an excuse and returned to his guest room.

【Day 22, you became acquainted with two fellow martial artists of the Wang Gate Blade. During this period, you faintly felt that you were being watched in secret; you had felt it since entering Guanzhong.】

【At the same time, the white horse you left outside Guanzhong was stolen by a wandering martial artist.】

【You stayed behind closed doors and began a night of cultivation.】

【Late at night, you sensed someone watching you gently from beside your window, but when you opened your eyes, you found no one around.】

【You truly found it hard to fall into a deep sleep; recalling the many events, you remembered someone once saying that monsters in the capital could not wantonly harm people, yet the Jingzhao Du Clan was precisely wiped out by monsters in this very capital.】

【In the spirit of retracing all the plot points in the 【Reincarnation】, you ultimately decided to go to the Du residence in advance to investigate.】

Outside the Du family courtyard, Gu Jiangming held his Ting Shui Xuan, looking at the dilapidated Du family residence; before even entering, he smelled the fishy stench that had not yet dissipated in the air.

【You sensed something unusual.】

【According to the information known previously, the Baishou Yao enjoys devouring the flesh and blood of entire humans to aid its own cultivation, so its actions rarely result in such bloody scenes.】

【This does not seem like the habits of the Baishou Yao.】

【You believe that the extermination of the Du Clan must have other hidden circumstances.】

【After searching through some information, you left this place.】

Guanzhong - Nine Prefectures.

"You're back?"

Seeing Jiu Jiu's depressed expression, Liuyu immediately asked with a serious look: "What happened?"

In these hundreds of years, as Jiu Jiu's mother, Liuyu had seen everything Jiu Jiu did; although all these things revealed a hint of eerie pre-calculation, for a monster, this was nothing.

Because no matter how many problems there were, they could not replace the fact that Jiu Jiu was her own bloodline.

Monsters, more than humans, pay more attention to this kind of bloodline inheritance.

Jiu Jiu glanced at her mother, then hesitated to speak; if she were to say that her luck was bad, running into a man who encountered romantic luck wherever he went, then her mother had a problem with recognizing people.

What was there to discuss with her about such private matters?

The main thing was... Jiu Jiu had also forgotten that there was a stupid dragon in reality ruining her plans, and in the 【Reincarnation】, she still had a love rival named Wang Qinghe.

In the previous 【Reincarnation】, it was Jiu Jiu who first made contact with Gu Jiangming, so no matter how Wang Qinghe tried, she failed.

But now? The situation had flipped!

With Gu Jiangming's temperament, it might turn out that whoever came first would be the original partner.

The worst part was that the resurrected Gu Jiangming, strictly speaking, did not have complete memories; he only knew the general gist of things, and after Jiu Jiu made contact, she discovered he was indeed much more indifferent toward her.

If he had complete memories, how could he have let that stupid dragon act so wantonly?

So Jiu Jiu was carrying a sense of inexplicable anxiety, because Wang Qinghe had also once been Gu Jiangming's past-life lover; if she were to snatch him away, it was not impossible for her to succeed.

With a series of unexpected situations occurring, Jiu Jiu could not help but follow Gu Jiangming's aura to take a look.

She was currently having a headache over how to arrange this encounter with Gu Jiangming.

Should she still pretend to be a beggar?

Jiu Jiu gritted her teeth.

What is the point of pretending!

Gu Jiangming didn't even have his general memories, he was missing a lot of them, and she was still foolishly going to replicate the original plot, pretending to be a beggar for him to pick up?

What would be wrong with changing the plot a little?

Haven't there been enough changes in the situation?

As long as her own intentions are genuine, what is there to fear!

Her picking up Gu Jiangming, or Gu Jiangming picking up her, aren't they both the same path?

This is just the beginning of an interaction.

The problem is how to win Gu Jiangming's heart after these encounters.

To completely fill in this missing memory for him.

In the current situation, rather than playing the fool and waiting for Gu Jiangming to "kindly" pick her up, it is better to firmly lock his heart from the very start.

To change her own Reincarnation, one must change it boldly, and change it until satisfied!

Her encounter with Gu Jiangming cannot be so foolish anymore!

She must make him remember this encounter deeply.

Find the best-looking clothes, the kind that can captivate him would be best.

The immense pressure brought by Wang Qinghe made Jiu Jiu take this encounter very seriously; in fact, she rarely pondered over the rouge commonly used by humans, because most of the Demon Race are naturally beautiful.

However, this time, Jiu Jiu inevitably put in some extra thought.

She wanted to dress herself up as beautifully as possible.

Starting from this encounter, Jiu Jiu wants to decide the winner between her and Wang Qinghe!

Eight days remain.

I must learn human makeup.

Jiu Jiu seemed to have made some profound decision, clenching her fists to cheer herself on.

"Mother, do you know how to apply makeup?"

Jiu Jiu suddenly spoke up.

It made Liuyu suddenly freeze, then she softly blurted out, "Are you lovesick?"

Jiu Jiu clenched her fists, trying her best not to get angry and to keep her emotions stable, "I have taken a liking to someone."

"No way, you can actually have someone you like?" Liuyu asked with some suspicion.

This daughter of hers is very strange.

She has always been telling her, the mother, what is bad and what is not good, and that one must keep their eyes peeled when looking at men.

She has always had a bitter and deep-seated look for years.

Suddenly telling her that she has someone she likes, how could this not make Liuyu greatly astonished.

Just what kind of sacred person is this, to be able to capture her daughter?

Besides, Jiu Jiu usually doesn't have the opportunity to come into contact with men, right?

What's more, after so many years of cultivation, Jiu Jiu's cultivation base is already several times more formidable than her own as a mother.

Just how powerful must a man be to subdue her daughter, who has such a chaste and fierce temperament and profound cultivation?

It was this huge contrast that made Liuyu develop a strong interest in the man Jiu Jiu spoke of.

"What is his background? Can you tell Mother about it?"

Jiu Jiu took a deep breath.

She knew that such private matters should not be spoken of.

Especially to this mother of hers.

Now it's done; in just a few short sentences, Jiu Jiu has already tasted the consequences of her own actions.

"He should have better judgment than you."

Jiu Jiu decided to kill the curious cat scratching at her mother's heart with one sentence.

If it shouldn't be asked, then don't be so curious.

However, she did not mean to intentionally humiliate her; she was just speaking the truth.
