Chapter 273 The Untamed 25
In the end, the marriage of Jin Zixuan and Jiang Yanli was only postponed but not cancelled. After Jin Zixuan personally came to explain the situation and he set off for Qishan with Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying, Mrs. Jin followed suit and presented a betrothal gift to Jiang with a dowry comparable to that of many daughters of second-rate families.
This was supposed to be a happy event worthy of celebration, but Jin Guangshan's attitude was cold. Compared with Mrs. Jin's attentive attitude, it seemed that he had a grudge against Jin Zixuan, his only legitimate son. What's more, it was later reported that because of Jin Zixuan's temporary absence on the Jinling stage, Jin Guangshan actually brought his nephew Jin Zixun from the next room with him every day.
This action caused Jin Zixuan to suffer some damage to his reputation, because some people knew about Jin Guangshan's reputation for being a playboy, and when they thought about the fierce means he had used to get to the top, compared with his disdain for Meng Yao that day, some people secretly began to spread the rumor that Jin Zixuan might not be Jin Guangshan's biological child.
Putting aside some rumors within the Jin family, the Wen family gathered the direct disciples of hundreds of immortal families to attend classes with great fanfare, but did not let anyone get close to the Nevernight City. Instead, they chose an inspection office two hundred miles away from the Nevernight City to house all the disciples who were forced to come. This was enough to make the hundreds of immortal families make associations.
Wen Chao had made two embarrassing mistakes in the Cloud Recesses that day, so when he saw Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying coming, he immediately arranged for the Jueling Powder.
This Jueling Powder doesn't sound like a good thing. Fortunately, although the Wen family is powerful and can bully others, they dare not really use something that will make these children of aristocratic families unable to absorb spiritual energy forever. This Jueling Powder is only effective for half a month at most for ordinary cultivators. It can only work for one day at most against Jiang Xinxin. Even for Wei Ying, it is only effective for three days. It can last for three more days for Lan Zhan and Jin Zixuan.
As soon as the Soul-Extinguishing Powder took effect, Wen Chao could not wait to come to Jiang Xinxin, Wei Ying and Lan Zhan to complain. Jiang Xinxin didn't care and kicked Wen Chao two feet away, mocking him: "Wen Chao, are you mentally ill? Why do you think that I can't use my spiritual power right now, so you can do whatever you want?"
Wen Chao didn't even have the cultivation level of Xudan. From Jiang Xinxin's perspective, he was just at the initial stage of Qi training. Compared with ordinary people, his skin and flesh were just a little tougher, but he was still an ordinary mortal. So even if she didn't use spiritual power and just used martial arts, Wen Chao would not be her opponent.
Wei Ying, Lan Zhan, and Jin Zixuan quickly stood behind Jiang Xinxin. The others lowered their heads, not daring to look at Wen Chao's joke. Only Wen Chao screamed at the top of his lungs, and while being helped up in a panic, he kept shouting that he wanted to kill Jiang Xinxin.
Jiang Xinxin was leisurely waiting for the Wen family's people to take action, but unexpectedly, Wen Zhuliu stepped forward to pacify Wen Chao. Wen Chao then gave up the arrangement of having the children of the hundreds of immortal families recite the Wen Family's Essence Record on the first day, and instead directly asked Jiang Xinxin, Wei Ying, Lan Zhan and Jin Zixuan to pick up manure.
After Lan Zhan took two more steps, everyone realized that Lan Zhan seemed to have injured his leg and it was not convenient for him to walk.
Wei Ying was the first to come over and ask Lan Zhan what was going on. Lan Zhan looked up and saw that Jiang Xinxin and Jin Zixuan both looked concerned. He couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat and whispered to everyone about the Cloud Recesses that was burned down by Wen Xu and his men.
Wei Ying was filled with righteous indignation, while Jiang Xinxin was somewhat embarrassed. She could only reluctantly comfort Lan Zhan, saying, "Since the Wen Clan has not found any trace of Zewu Jun yet, it means that Zewu Jun must be safe. You should not worry too much."
Just after he finished speaking, Wen Chao came over and yelled at everyone to hurry up and not be lazy. Jiang Xinxin didn't even bother to look at Wen Chao's ugly face. She and Wei Ying supported Lan Zhan on both sides and walked towards the vegetable patch.
Although carrying manure for the vegetable fields was dirty and disgusting, Jiang Xinxin didn't think it was something she couldn't do. But since she had no intention of turning against him, she had to pretend to be suffering.
Because Lan Zhan had difficulty walking, Jiang Xinxin secretly gave him medicine, but in the first three days she and Wei Ying tacitly shared Lan Zhan's work so that Lan Zhan could recover well.
Wen Ning and Wen Qing really remembered that they had helped Wen Ning at Biling Lake, so every time Wen Chao withheld their food, they would secretly send him something.
But on the third day, Wei Ying was suddenly taken away alone, and in order to prevent the Jueling Powder from suddenly becoming ineffective, Wei Ying was given the Jueling Powder again. The spiritual power that had been unsealed with great difficulty was sealed again, which made Jiang Xinxin and Jin Zixuan very worried.
Wei Ying had just been taken away, and Jin Zixuan had also been taken away. Only Jiang Xinxin and Lan Zhan were working in the vegetable garden together. Just when Jiang Xinxin was about to go on a night visit, Wen Qing quietly brought news about Wei Ying and Jin Zixuan.
Wen Qing said anxiously, "Master Jiang, Master Wei has been imprisoned in the dungeon. Wen Chao ordered that water and food be cut off for three days. But don't worry, my brother Aning has already sent things in."
"Young Master Jin was taken away today to recite the Wen Clan's Essence Records in front of Wen Chao. Apart from this, he did not suffer any other injuries."
"Here are some antidotes for Jueling Powder. Young Master Jiang, just keep them safe."
Jiang Xinxin really didn't expect to have a deeper contact with Wen Qing, but she was quick-witted. She quickly took the antidote for the Absolute Spirit Powder and said to Wen Qing, "I know that you and Wen Ning belong to the Dafan Mountain lineage, and your relationship with Buyetian is very distant. The Wen family is now in a state of turmoil, but if the hundreds of immortal families unite, the Wen family will be the next Xue Chonghai. If you want to save your people, you should make a decision as soon as possible."
Wen Qing obviously didn't expect Jiang Xinxin to suddenly say this. After being frightened, she looked at Jiang Xinxin deeply, then turned and left.
Jiang Xinxin thought that if Wen Qing and Wen Ning could not settle their people before the Wen family and the Hundred Immortal Families officially went to war, then she would have no choice but to take the Dafanshan lineage of the Wen family away after the Sun-Shooting Campaign, using the excuse of distributing benefits.
The news of the burning of Cloud Recesses had already spread among the students who came to study. With so many people joining in the rebellion, not only Wen Chao but even Wen Zhuliu could not suppress it, so starting from the fifteenth day, Wen Chao arranged a night hunting activity.
Everyone's swords had been handed in early, and now they were hunting at night, holding wooden swords that Wen Chao had specially found. Jiang Xinxin looked at the pine sword that Wen Chao had specially handed over, with worm holes still visible on it, and couldn't help but twitch her lips.
Seeing this, Wen Chao said proudly, "Master Jiang, I have heard that you have a high level of cultivation. Even Lan Huan and Lan Zhan, who were famous for being the twin heroes of the Lan family, cannot compare to you. I believe you are very good at using this pine wood sword."
Jiang Xinxin looked at Wen Chao with a caring look and said with a smile, "Wen Chao, you are so mediocre, you should at least make yourself have something to show for yourself. Perhaps you have heard of a state called flying flowers and plucking leaves, which can hurt people."
