Chapter 189: Cang Xingling's Unexpected Sense of the Big Picture

"Uh, don't mind it, I was just practicing." Jiang Xun was also a bit embarrassed, then continued building with Cang Xingling, and soon finished the swing.

Cang Xingling couldn't wait to go up and try it; the swing drifted, and Cang Xingling's hair fluttered in the wind, which was actually quite pretty.

"What did you come to find me for?" Cang Xingling asked while swinging.

"Nothing, just came to see you." Jiang Xun stood behind Cang Xingling and pushed her along.

"Did it go smoothly?" Cang Xingling nodded slightly and asked.

"Smoothly, I've already signed up for the Top Ranking Challenge, became He Luyun's Personal Disciple, and even moved into He Luyun's home. By the way, I heard that only relatives, servants, or Dao companions can live in a Heavenly Room, is that true or false?"

"It's true." Cang Xingling nodded: "Since you've moved in, I think Dao Master He must be counting you as her servant."

"Uh." Jiang Xun was speechless upon hearing this, but thinking about it, this was probably the most reasonable explanation.

"Thank you for helping me." Jiang Xun said afterwards.

"It's no big deal, just don't expose your identity." Cang Xingling laughed.

"You can rest assured about that." Jiang Xun nodded: "Isn't everyone out looking for the Lingerie-Sect now? Why didn't you go?"

"Why would I go? I don't care for that credit. If I really wanted credit, wouldn't it be enough to turn you in?"

"That's a way to put it, but if you turn me in, you'll be implicated too." Jiang Xun laughed.

"Tch... By the way, I have something I need to trouble you with." Cang Xingling said afterwards.

"Feel free to say it."

"Since you've joined under He Luyun, I suppose you've already met Gufang Ninglin, right?"

"I've met her." Jiang Xun nodded.

"Can you help me persuade her to convince her father to bring the Gufang Dynasty to join the Canghe Dynasty?"

"Ah?" Jiang Xun was stunned upon hearing this: "Isn't your brother her senior fellow apprentice too? Shouldn't this be something your brother does?"

"My brother has already tried long ago. The fact that she could become He Luyun's Personal Disciple was thanks to my brother and my father; they gave He Luyun quite a few benefits just to get the Gufang Dynasty to join us, but Gufang Ninglin just won't budge."

"My brother is definitely not as good at dealing with women as you are, and he has a marriage contract, so it's not convenient for him to have too much contact with her. That's why I thought you could try contacting her and see."

"Isn't the Gufang Dynasty already failing? Why do you want it? If you leave it alone, it will disappear sooner or later anyway."

"Sigh." Cang Xingling sighed, tapped her feet on the ground to stop the swinging, turned around on the swing to look at Jiang Xun: "The Gufang Dynasty and the Canghe Dynasty are very close. Every day, refugees come over from there; we can't just leave them be, can we?"

"But the number of refugees is truly too high. The houses are already full. Now, every day we have to spend a massive amount of manpower and resources to build new houses. The capital can't be built up anymore, and other cities are too far away. Just the journey alone would result in countless deaths."

"The best method is still to merge with the Gufang Dynasty, let the refugees return to the Gufang Dynasty side, and then we take people, money, and food to the Gufang Dynasty. Only then can the common people live well."

Jiang Xun listened and nodded: "I didn't expect you to care so much about the common people."

"The reason why there is a dynasty, isn't it to let the common people live in peace and prosperity? The common people use their hands and blood and sweat to push us to establish a dynasty and become the so-called royal family. If we live a good life and forget the common people, that would be too outrageous, wouldn't it? Are we even human?"

Cang Xingling said solemnly.

It made Jiang Xun feel a bit unaccustomed to it.

"But the common people of Gufang are not the common people of Canghe." Jiang Xun said.

"When the Western Regions were first formed, were there not many dynasties? They are all human, all people of the Western Regions, all common people, all ordinary folks. What is the difference?"

Cang Xingling said as such.

"This girl..." Si Yuyan was also full of surprise after hearing this. She never expected that Cang Xingling would actually have such a sense of the big picture.

"Just for these words of yours, I'll help you." Jiang Xun looked at Cang Xingling and nodded.

"Many thanks." Cang Xingling grinned: "Then go seduce Gufang Ninglin."

"Hm?" Jiang Xun was stunned upon hearing this.

"Don't you have a Natural Charm Bone? Go seduce her and make her persuade her father."

Cang Xingling laughed.

"So that's the plan you were cooking up." Jiang Xun sighed helplessly upon hearing this. To use the Natural Charm Bone to manipulate Gufang Ninglin would naturally be very easy.

"Go, go, go." Cang Xingling couldn't wait to get off the swing and pushed Jiang Xun as she ran outside the courtyard.

"You're in such a rush." Jiang Xun said while being pushed along; he had only just parted ways with Gufang Ninglin.

And it wasn't early anymore.

"Every minute faster means the common people will be safe and healthy a day sooner. You are the savior of the Gufang Dynasty, go quickly."

Cang Xingling said.

"Alright, alright, alright." Jiang Xun could only nod helplessly, and after saying goodbye to Cang Xingling, he left her courtyard.

Although he said he was going to find Gufang Ninglin, Jiang Xun didn't even know where she lived.

However, although Gufang Ninglin's fame came from being scolded, she was still famous; if he found someone to ask, he should be able to find out.

Arriving at a place with more people, Jiang Xun randomly asked a few people, and sure enough, after asking three or four people, he found out.

But the place where she lived made Jiang Xun feel puzzled.

She should at least be living in a Yellow-Rank Room of Tian Wai Lou, but she wasn't there; instead, she was outside, and didn't even have a courtyard.

The place where she lived was near that mudflat where she had taken Jiang Xun in the afternoon.

Jiang Xun followed the path from the afternoon to the mudflat, used his Spirit Power to investigate the surroundings, and soon discovered Gufang Ninglin; she was inside a mountain cave.

Jiang Xun flew to the entrance of the cave. Gufang Ninglin inside seemed to be writing a letter and didn't notice Jiang Xun.

"Why do you live here? Don't you live in Tian Wai Lou?"

Jiang Xun walked slowly from behind her and asked.

"Ah... you scared me to death, why did you come?" Gufang Ninglin's body trembled, and after seeing it was Jiang Xun, she hurriedly put away the letter on the table.

"Me? I was idle with nothing to do, wandering around, and didn't expect to see you here. You... live here?" Jiang Xun looked inside the cave; there was no bed, no bathtub, and the table she had just been writing on was also a stone platform.

This was completely just an empty mountain cave.

"Who said I live here? I just like to cultivate here." Gufang Ninglin said with an unnatural expression.

"Then where is your room?"

"Why are you asking about my room? You aren't thinking of a night raid on me, are you!" Gufang Ninglin cried out, hugging her own body upon hearing this.

"Night raid, my foot. If I really wanted to do something to you, would you be able to resist right now?" Jiang Xun said, looking at the deserted woods.

"Just joking with you. If you really wanted to do something to your Senior Sister, your Senior Sister would be quite willing," Gufang Ninglin laughed, but she lacked the sense of allure that Tu Qing and the others possessed, appearing like a silly child.

"Then I'm coming for you..." Jiang Xun walked slowly toward Gufang Ninglin.
