Chapter 374

~7 min read 1,393 words

Hearing Little Dragon Maiden say that the coffin Lin Chaoying was lying in was made of thousand-year cold jade made Jiang Chen even more suspicious.

It is a pity that,

when he was at the Ancient Tomb before, he hadn't thought of these things.

Otherwise,

he would definitely have carefully felt and investigated it at that time.

However,

if Lin Chaoying really hadn't died, that would be very interesting.

After all, to be clearly living well, yet suddenly reveal news to the outside world that she had fallen, and for so many years, the other party had actually been lying in an ice coffin.

If one said there was no reason for this, even a ghost wouldn't believe it.

Since that is the case,

then what kind of matter could make a powerhouse whose strength had reached at least the Spirit-Wandering Mystic Realm willingly lie in a coffin, and stay there for decades?

And,

did Wang Chongyang know about this?

"063" Thinking of this,

Jiang Chen couldn't help but reveal a strange look on his face.

If Wang Chongyang knew, then wouldn't the stories between Lin Chaoying and Wang Chongyang also be deliberately fabricated, and the purpose was to create a suitable reason for Lin Chaoying's fake death?

If that were really the case...

Jiang Chen looked at Little Dragon Maiden and smiled slightly: "Miss Long, what do you think of Xueyue City?"

"It's quite good."

Little Dragon Maiden was stunned, then smiled softly: "Although I haven't been to Cangshan Mountain, even looking at it from this Mortal City, it feels much more beautiful than the scenery of Mount Zhongnan. No wonder these years, whenever Master goes into seclusion, Senior Sister has always wanted me to accompany her to sneak out and play for two days."

Hearing Little Dragon Maiden's words,

Li Mochou, who was playing Landlord with Dongfang Bubai and Sikong Qianluo, immediately looked over here, a bright smile appearing on her face.

"So Junior Sister, now you should know my hidden bitterness."

"It's not that I don't like our Ancient Tomb Sect, it's just that the rules of the Ancient Tomb Sect are too many, especially the rule prohibiting disciples from leaving the tomb. Tell me, in this world, which sect prohibits its disciples from walking in the Jianghu?"

"Even if it's not for training, one must have food and clothing. It's fortunate that we have Sun Nu in our Ancient Tomb; usually, whatever we need, Sun Nu will go and help us buy it."

"And at ordinary times, those Daoist priests in the Quanzhen Sect down the mountain will also send some food up; otherwise, I'm afraid even eating would be a problem for us in this Ancient Tomb."

"Junior Sister, do you think what I said makes sense?"

Now seeing Little Dragon Maiden actually praising this city in the secular world,

Li Mochou immediately chattered on and on, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances in her heart over these years.

And hearing her Senior Sister's words,

a contemplative expression couldn't help but appear on Little Dragon Maiden's face.

What Li Mochou said,

she really hadn't thought about carefully.

What she and her Senior Sister usually ate and wore were basically all arranged by Sun Nu.

Not to mention anything else,

just take the clothes she was wearing now; they were bought by Sun Nu who went down the mountain not long ago.

Originally, she didn't feel anything.

But now, hearing Li Mochou's words, she realized that if it weren't for Sun Nu, if she and her Senior Sister didn't go down the mountain, then even eating and clothing would really be a problem.

As for Sun Nu,

strictly speaking, the other party could only be said to be Master's maid, just like Master was the founder's maid, and she couldn't be counted as a disciple of the Ancient Tomb Sect at all.

And the reason Master became the Sect Master of the Ancient Tomb Sect,

was also because she took over when the founder passed away.

Thinking of this,

Little Dragon Maiden couldn't help but think, if it weren't for her and her Senior Sister, then if Master passed away one day, would Sun Nu become the third Sect Master of the Ancient Tomb Sect?

However,

she soon shook her head again.

Master was now just like her, still very young.

"Since that is the case, then since you and Miss Mochou have come here for a rare visit, just play in this Xueyue City for a few more days; at least you should see the scenery of Xueyue City, shouldn't you?"

Jiang Chen said with a smile:

"What's more, in a while, Miss Zhiruo will also come over. If she arrives and finds that you two have already left, she will definitely be a bit disappointed."

"As for the matter of returning to the Ancient Tomb Sect, you don't need to worry; I will send you back when the time comes. Anyway, it won't take much time."

Hearing Jiang Chen's words,

before Little Dragon Maiden could speak,

Li Mochou had already smiled impatiently: "Then many thanks to the Young Master. I was worried before that if we stayed here for a long time, the Young Master would dislike us."

"How could that be?"

Jiang Chen shook his head: "If you stayed here all the time, I would be happy. If you don't believe me, ask my Senior Sister."

"Junior Martial Brother is right."

Sikong Qianluo nodded repeatedly: "Two sisters, just play here with peace of mind. I also want you to stay for a longer time; otherwise, I can only see you again when Junior Martial Brother goes to your Great Song Dynasty next time.. "

And Lian Xing, Huang Rong, and others also spoke one after another, asking Little Dragon Maiden and Li Mochou to stay in Xueyue City for a few more days.

Especially Huang Rong,

having finally met people from the same Great Song Dynasty, she hadn't had a good time playing with them yet.

"Since that is the case, then I will trouble everyone during this period."

Seeing so many people speak, Little Dragon Maiden also found it hard to refuse their kindness; after hesitating slightly, she nodded gently.

And seeing that Little Dragon Maiden did not refuse,

a happy smile immediately appeared on Li Mochou's face: "It just so happens that I can take advantage of this period to learn the rules of poker and mahjong; that way, when we return to the Ancient Tomb, we won't be too bored."

Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile: "Fine, if you like playing, when you go back, I will have Luoxia prepare a few more sets for you to take along."

The reason he let Little Dragon Maiden and Li Mochou stay for a few more days,

was just to find an excuse to go to the Ancient Tomb Sect again.

Thinking that Lin Chaoying was very likely faking her death, he urgently wanted to verify the thoughts in his heart.

If it were really as he thought,

then this world, I'm afraid, would really be as he thought, and in fact, not so simple.

In the time that followed,

Sikong Qianluo and the others, except for the time spent eating and sleeping, spent most of their time in the gambling den.

On the first day, the women were all playing among themselves.

However, 4.4,

when the second day came,

Sikong Qianluo, Yue Ji, and Tian Nvrui began to look for 'suitable' card partners in the main hall.

In Sikong Qianluo's words,

that was because Huang Rong and the others were too powerful, and she simply couldn't beat them.

It was still more interesting to play with these novices outside!

Regarding Sikong Qianluo and the others wanting to find a sense of achievement in front of these novices, Jiang Chen smiled and let them be.

After all,

if it were like this, and in the end, Sikong Qianluo and the others still lost more than they won, then they should obediently accept the punishment he proposed, right?

As for Jiang Chen himself,

besides accompanying the women in the gambling den, he wasn't doing nothing.

Now that the Nine Yin Mysterious Sutra and the Heaven-Reliant Sword and Dragon-Slaying Saber were in hand, he naturally had to start preparing for the next steps.
