Chapter 88: Jiang Xun's Small Moment of Being Touched

The two protectors were also concerned about the Soul Returning Pill, so without too much hesitation, they flew out and landed in front of the group.

"You sensed it early on?"

The protector of Cang Xingling looked at Jiang Xun and frowned.

He was a middle-aged man, and as expected, he was a Venerable of the Integration Realm.

"Members of the royal family, after all, they are bound to have protectors with them," Jiang Xun nodded and smiled.

This Tianwai Island is also quite impressive; their abacus beads are clicking right in everyone's faces.

Disciples from noble families, royal clans, and the imperial family on Tianwai Island all have protectors following them.

By recruiting one disciple, they get a high-cultivation protector as a bonus, so the sect never has to worry about the disciple's life being in danger while they are out.

Moreover, the families themselves pour cultivation resources into their own children, so Tianwai Island hardly needs to consume anything at all.

They even get to receive gifts from these families, which are various Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures.

The rewards that disciples submit upon returning from missions are also pure profit.

The entire Tianwai Island is simply a massive cornucopia.

It is just like a snowball; once this snowball starts rolling, it only gets bigger and bigger.

"Take the oath."

The protector glanced at Jiang Xun and said nothing more.

Jiang Xun nodded, and then everyone took the oath together.

As for Zhang Yuan, the moment he heard Cang Xingling agree, he had already climbed over the back wall and run away.

But halfway through his escape, he ran back...

His family is all here; if they use his family to threaten him later, wouldn't he have to come back anyway...

Forget it, forget it, better not to struggle.

After the oath was taken, Jiang Xun tossed the Soul Returning Pill to Cang Xingling and dispelled the Barrier.

【Ding, Soul Returning Pill gifted successfully!】

【Received return: Soul Returning Pill x10.】

Jiang Xun looks at this pile of candy beans now, and his heart is completely unmoved.

"Consider it a gesture of goodwill toward the Fairy. I wonder if I might have the honor of keeping a Communication Jade Tube of the Fairy's?"

Jiang Xun looked at Cang Xingling, who was examining the Soul Returning Pill, and smiled.

"Princess, this is real. No need to keep looking, put it away quickly."

The protector looked at Cang Xingling and sent a voice transmission.

Hearing this, Cang Xingling immediately put the Soul Returning Pill into her storage ring.

"Princess, you can try to befriend this Jiang Xun. Being able to take out something like a Soul Returning Pill for a trade, he is definitely not an ordinary person. He might come in handy in the future."

The protector breathed a sigh of relief and continued the voice transmission.

"Mm." Cang Xingling nodded imperceptibly, then took out her own Communication Jade Tube and tossed it to Jiang Xun: "Canghe Dynasty, Cang Xingling."

"Lingerie-Sect, Jiang Xun." Jiang Xun accepted the Communication Jade Tube and tossed one of his own Jade Slips to Cang Xingling.

This could be considered another instance of Jiang Xun intercepting Zhang Yuan's destiny; if not for Jiang Xun's interference, Cang Xingling would likely have befriended Zhang Yuan.

Without the Soul Returning Pill, there might have been a story about the decline of the Canghe Dynasty, the Princess suffering, and Zhang Yuan playing the hero to save the beauty.

But Jiang Xun has solved the problem right at the root.

This time, not only did Cang Xingling get a bargain, she got a huge bargain; even if they had traded with someone else, the Canghe Dynasty would still owe Jiang Xun a great deal.

The protector was clearly aware of this as well, so he looked at Jiang Xun and said: "To be honest, this Soul Returning Pill has solved an urgent crisis for our Canghe Dynasty. This time, not only will we abandon the mission, but our Canghe Dynasty also owes you a favor. After returning, I will report truthfully to the Holy Emperor, and I believe the Holy Emperor will also be grateful to you."

"Much obliged," Jiang Xun cupped his hands and smiled. Only a fool would refuse such a good thing.

The two protectors then vanished once more.

Ling Zhangyi's protector was slightly inferior, only at the Void Refining Initial Stage.

It seems he is not very highly valued in his family or royal clan.

"Then we..."

Just as Ling Zhangyi was about to say they were leaving, the gates of the Zhang Mansion opened again.

Zhang Yuan walked out shirtless, slapped his knees onto the ground in front of Jiang Xun, and carried thorns on his back.

Carrying thorns to ask for forgiveness...

"Elder, this disciple knows his mistake! I will never run away again!"

Zhang Yuan looked up at Jiang Xun and shouted.

A real man knows when to bend and when to stretch!

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river!

Just wait, one day I, Zhang Yuan, will settle this score!

Ling Zhangyi and Cang Xingling looked at each other upon seeing this, unable to hold back their laughter.

He surrendered way too quickly.

They had thought Zhang Yuan would at least struggle a little.

Jiang Xun ignored Zhang Yuan and looked at Ling Zhangyi and Cang Xingling: "Could you two step aside for a moment?"

Although they were a bit confused, the two nodded and walked to the side with Jiang Xun.

"What is it?" Ling Zhangyi asked.

"I would like to ask you two for a favor," Jiang Xun said, taking out a Supreme Mahayana Pill: "This is a Supreme Mahayana Pill, to be used as payment."

"The Lingerie-Sect is truly overflowing with wealth, having both Soul Returning Pills and Supreme Mahayana Pills," Ling Zhangyi was quite surprised to see this.

"This has nothing to do with the Lingerie-Sect; I obtained these by chance, and I have no use for them anyway," Jiang Xun waved his hand and smiled.

"You must first say what the matter is; if it is not a righteous affair, we will not help even for a Supreme Grade Great Vehicle Pill," said Cang Xingling.

"Rest assured, it is not some crooked or evil business," Jiang Xun laughed. "I want to entrust the two of you to help me inquire about someone: the whereabouts of the former Baihua Sect Sect Master, Tang Ying."

If it were a member of the imperial family, they would certainly have more connections in this regard than Jiang Xun, right?

"Inquiring about a person... this sort of thing cannot be guaranteed," Cang Xingling said, feeling a bit uncertain after hearing this.

"It doesn't matter; as long as you help me inquire, even if you cannot find anything, this Great Vehicle Pill will be considered a token of friendship."

As Jiang Xun spoke, he held the Great Vehicle Pill up in front of Cang Xingling.

Of course, he had to give it to Cang Xingling to trigger the return!

"Are you not afraid that I will take the item and not do the work?"

Seeing this, Cang Xingling laughed.

"Eh, why say that? At a glance, I can tell Fairy Xingling is not that kind of person."

Jiang Xun laughed.

【Ding, Cang Xingling's favorability: 15】

【Return multiplier: 150】

"Fine, then I accept this task." Cang Xingling took the Great Vehicle Pill and added, "Whether or not I can find out is not something I can guarantee."

"Understood, understood."

Jiang Xun nodded and laughed.

【Ding, Supreme Grade Great Vehicle Pill gifted successfully!】

【Obtained return: Supreme Soul Wandering Pill!】

【Supreme Tribulation Transformation Pill: Functions for the breakthrough from the Great Vehicle Realm to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm; used to stabilize a cultivator's soul, enhance spiritual power, neutralize the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, increase the success rate of Tribulation Transcendence, and reduce risks during the breakthrough process.】

"Then we shall take our leave. As for that Zhang Yuan... do not let him ruin the reputation of our Tianwai Island..."

Ling Zhangyi looked at Jiang Xun and said.

"Rest assured, he will be locked up afterward," Jiang Xun nodded and laughed.

"And his family..." Cang Xingling looked at Jiang Xun with concern.

"I never said I was going to touch his family," Jiang Xun laughed helplessly. "I just don't want the secrets of the Lingerie-Sect to leak out; I am not some villain who kills without blinking."

Hearing this, Cang Xingling also breathed a sigh of relief. So, her worry just now was completely unnecessary...

"You used a Supreme Grade Great Vehicle Pill to help me inquire about the whereabouts of Tang Ying?"

After Cang Xingling and Ling Zhangyi left, Jun Tianling felt a little touched in Jiang Xun's mind.
