Chapter 99: Why is everyone more fierce than the last?

【Tonight, Jiu Jiu has made a certain decision to leave for a short period.】

【You fall into deep thought.】

【The injured woman you encountered in the event plot triggered the day before yesterday has had her identity revealed today; you are certain that she is indeed a member of the Northern Wei Imperial Family, and should be the Jin'an Princess who is being secretly hunted by the Pei Family.】

【You avoided the focal event that would have plunged you into the situation in Guanzhong; this was your own decision.】

【But Guanzhong is inherently the center of the vortex of all events.】

【And you are very clear about this point.】

【From every move the Pei Family makes, you can be said to see things as clearly as a fire; you clearly realized that the reason they struck first was that what they sought was nothing more than the cultivation art "Heavenly Emperor Solitude".】

【To you, "Heavenly Emperor Solitude" does not count for much, but for these aristocratic cultivators, their stance must prioritize the family's considerations first, and then proceed from their own.】

【The Pei Family being able to gain a foothold in Jingzhao, Guanzhong, clearly shows they are confidants of the Northern Wei Imperial Family; otherwise, it would be impossible for them to remain unchecked in this place as aristocratic cultivators.】

【This is enough to prove that when Tianming Di was still alive, the Pei Family must have been a "trusted" force in the hands of Tianming Di.】

【Bu Gu】

This time, the Baishou Yao are all dead.

Then, when I was performing the 【Reincarnation Simulation】 at that time, were all the actions I took carried out within the scope permitted by Jiu Jiu?

That is, his wife might also have this simulator, 【Mie Changsheng】.

The Hundred Schools Rebellion has its source right here.

It is truly too excellent in terms of risk resistance.

【Physical condition: In imminent danger.】

【Status: Captured.】

However, on the world map, only Jiu Jiu, Wang Qinghe, Long Xi, and Gu Jiangming individually possess a cute cartoon character modeled after themselves, and this Q-version character will mark their location on the world map in the 【Mie Changsheng】 interface.

Gu Jiangming thinks it over and estimates that Bu Gu is a member of the Crown Prince's faction; after all, Tianming Di could even use witchcraft on his own Crown Prince, which is enough to show that the conflict and confrontation between the two of them is not a matter of just one or two days.

For a problem like this, the solution is actually very simple; as long as you find the common points, you can know why they all have exclusive characters on the world map.

Although Bu Gu is a minor character, in an intelligence organization like the Six Fan Sect, he is clearly still a relatively key figure.

Suddenly, he notices that on the 【Mie Changsheng】 interface, there is also a world map perspective.

Tianming Di borrowing a knife to kill someone to take Bu Gu away was to ruin the Crown Prince's eyes and ears; now that the Pei Family is torturing Bu Gu, it is mostly to learn more information about the Crown Prince from Bu Gu through his identity as a member of the Crown Prince's faction.

No, man.

Even if the descendants of a certain generation are rotten, they can still survive a crisis by relying on the shade of their ancestors.

Because no one can guarantee that their descendants will have outstanding talent for every generation, but having "Heavenly Emperor Solitude" serves as a bottom line.

But the problem is that Gu Jiangming is not within this category; this common point can only be a common point among the three of them, including Jiu Jiu.

When Gu Jiangming reached this conclusion, it was mind-boggling, because if Jiu Jiu also had 【Mie Changsheng】.

The inheritance ability of "Heavenly Emperor Solitude".

Gu Jiangming switches to the 【Six Fan Sect · Bu Gu】 perspective.

What is interesting is that on the world map, Gu Jiangming can see the locations of the character cards he has unlocked.

Strictly speaking, Long Xi should not count, but with so many reincarnations, it is not impossible that in one of the reincarnations, a past life of Long Xi would be his romantic partner.

You have been captured by the Pei Family.

The first time I met you, you were either insta-killed by the Baishou Yao or secretly sent there by Tianming Di.

Previously, Gu Jiangming thought these unlocked character cards were just for looking at; he did not expect the real function to be hidden here.

【The Pei Family clearly has a deep understanding of "Heavenly Emperor Solitude", at least knowing the characteristic that "Heavenly Emperor Solitude" can continuously pass on cultivation power to the next generation.】

Therefore, the only possibility left on Gu Jiangming's face now is the last one.

【Current location: Jingshi Prison.】

One is for the resources of the world, the other is for the inheritance of ten thousand generations.

Jiu Jiu and Wang Qinghe have one thing in common: they are both Gu Jiangming's romantic partners, the wives who accompanied Gu Jiangming through a lifetime.

Thinking of this possibility, Gu Jiangming cannot help but feel his scalp tingle.

Your life is truly walking on thin ice; you are either in jail or on the way to jail, and you have never had a good ending even once.

Entering this interface, you can see the details of the entire Nine Provinces.

【It is precisely this "trust" that made the Pei Family the first to notice the abnormalities in the Northern Wei Imperial Family, which is why it caused such a strong backlash.】

Other characters from unlocked character cards are only marked with a name containing information.

I thought I was a comedy character.

Gu Jiangming has not yet figured out why the four of them have their own exclusive characters while others do not.

But your appearance is the real entertainment.

At this moment, Gu Jiangming searches the diary function of 【Mie Changsheng】.

Not to mention this inheritance ability, "Heavenly Emperor Solitude" is also rumored to have the path to seeking immortality; the combination of these two is a great attraction for aristocratic disciples.

This can't be, right?

To be honest, at that time, Gu Jiangming was hugging and kissing Jiu Jiu's character, and after the reincarnation ended and he knew all this had come true.

Gu Jiangming still had a sense of repentance for deceiving others' feelings.

This is why Gu Jiangming's attitude toward Jiu Jiu was not as enthusiastic as imagined.

Because Gu Jiangming felt that it was through the help of 【Mie Changsheng】 that he had invisibly tampered with others' memories.

But if it is proven that Jiu Jiu also possesses 【Mie Changsheng】, then it does not constitute this situation at all.

That would directly become an online romance.

Jiu Jiu was interacting with him continuously only under the condition of subjective approval.

But the problem is that this matter becomes very intriguing.

At the beginning, Gu Jiangming didn't even realize there were monsters in this world; he kept thinking it was a martial arts world, and he was quite happy to have picked up a wife.

Yet Jiu Jiu, clearly a monster and aware that he was a mortal, had developed genuine feelings for him.

She became his romantic partner in 【Mie Changsheng】.

Neither of them knew the other was controlled by a Real Person, and as a result, they both couldn't help but treat the other as the love of their lives.

The most ridiculous part was that Gu Jiangming was also frantically committing acts of insubordination in 【Reincarnation Simulation】, and whenever he had the time, he would have a go with Jiu Jiu.

Now, something even more absurd has happened.

How to explain his thousands of interactions with Wang Qinghe?

Just thinking about it for a moment makes me break out in a cold sweat.

But this is only a conjecture on Gu Jiangming's part.

It has not been fully verified yet.

In fact, Gu Jiangming has a way to verify it.

That is to interact through the interaction function of 【Mie Changsheng】, or rather, the interface that allows players to initiate options with each other.

If there is a delay, a time for thought, that would be enough to prove the point.

And if it really is online play.

Gu Jiangming is afraid he won't be able to sleep at all.

In 【Reincarnation Simulation】, he courted death too many times; if Jiu Jiu ever found out that he had been controlling it intentionally, he would definitely be hacked to death on the spot.

I truly hope it isn't online.

That would really cost a brother his life.

Thinking of this, Gu Jiangming switched to Jiu Jiu's cartoon character, only to find that he could see her activity schedule.

This is different from the retrieved diary; it is simply showing what Jiu Jiu is currently doing.

【Today, you are in a good mood.】

【Because after careful observation, you discovered that Gu Jiangming and that woman are indeed not acquainted; you once thought she was some wild fox Gu Jiangming had picked up from somewhere.】

【But Gu Jiangming showed rare backbone and refused the other party's request, which you greatly admire. However, beyond this admiration, your clever self is simultaneously considering how to obtain the greatest benefit.】

【Years of drifting, combined with the incident a few days ago where the Essence Refining Guard broke down your door, have given you a rather mature idea: to attempt to establish a force of your own, so that while helping yourself, you can better protect the home you and Gu Jiangming have built together.】

【Jiu Jiu—is establishing her own force, "Guan Yun".】

Wild fox, is it?

Slandering my, Gu Jiangming's, loyalty?

Do I look like the kind of person who is indiscriminate and eats everything?

Not to mention Wang Qinghe, with whom I've interacted thousands of times, you, Jiu Jiu, were also quite crazy when in 【Reincarnation Simulation】, to be fair.

What kind of iron body do I have to be able to keep up with you two in such endless juice-squeezing?

I don't usually warn you, and now you're even bad-mouthing me.

You want me dead, don't you?!

Might as well just die in bed.

However, seeing that Jiu Jiu is about to establish a force named "Guan Yun"—at first glance, it actually pairs quite well with Shushan.

Shushan Guan Yun.

Is this a symbiotic relationship, or one in the light and one in the dark?

Yet, before Gu Jiangming had any extra time to think, Wang Qinghe's character on the big map suddenly trembled.

【Under the leadership of Wang Qinghe, the Liangzhou Wang Family has recently crushed the cultivators of the Yin Clan, and Wang Qinghe has completed basic control over Wuwei and its surrounding cities.】

On the map of Liangzhou, about one-third of the territory lit up with the "Wang Family" banner, and the orange-colored Wang Family banner is currently spreading across the small map in the upper left.

On the screen.

Wang Qinghe's character released a technique on the big map resembling the Heavenly Gang Five Thunders, shattering the vengeful spirits that appeared like twin shadows before her.

【The Yin Clan's ancestral secret art, "Yinhun Curse", has been obtained by Wang Qinghe.】

【"Evil paths and crooked ways are not worth mentioning to outsiders."】

【While Wang Qinghe burned the secret art "Yinhun Curse", her reputation soared within Liangzhou after the destruction of the Yin Clan.】

【After obtaining control over Wuwei and other places, Wang Qinghe immediately sent people to Jingshi to express her attitude and stance.】

【She expressed that the Wang Family had no intention of rebelling in Liangzhou and was willing to follow the dictates of the "Imperial Court".】

【The Pei are under increasing pressure in Jingshi and are in dire need of winning over these aristocratic cultivators to gain their support. Wang Qinghe's attitude made the Pei extremely satisfied, and they ordered the young emperor of Northern Wei to issue an edict.】

【Wang Qinghe's father, Wang Jue, was appointed as the Regional Military Governor of the Liangzhou region.】

【And with the clear support of the Imperial Court, the influence of the Wang Family in Liangzhou is constantly rising.】

Gu Jiangming finished reading this information.

How are these wives of his getting more and more fierce in this reincarnation?

It's no longer a question of whether they are afraid of trouble; they are competing to see who can cause more of it.

With the sudden explosion of Wang Qinghe's various stats, Gu Jiangming actually has a pretty good idea about the guess he wasn't quite sure of before.

He can't just sit idle like this anymore.

This has already entered an arms race mode.

I, Gu Jiangming, must be able to cause even more trouble than them!

The Shushan he built last time didn't manage to create a scene like the Seven Heroes of Wudang; only Xu Qingyun could be said to be noteworthy.

This time, Gu Jiangming plans to search everywhere for seven disciples whose ideals and character match Shushan, and who ideally have good comprehension and natural talent.

To build himself a Shushan Seven Heroes to save face!

【You decide to establish the sect you have long desired—Shushan.】

And set about searching for a group of disciples whose talent and ability could match the Shushan Sect.
