Chapter 379: Senior Sister, You’re Very Easy To Talk To

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Looking at the woman, Jiang Hao recalled the encounter he had with someone when he went to the Lawless Tower before.

It was the same woman who had almost knocked him off. It seemed he had been lucky not to run into her all these years.

Jiang Hao leaped from his sword and appeared beside Cheng Chou. “Tsk… you ruined my robe, and you’re still complaining!”

When Cheng Chou saw Jiang Hao, he let out a sigh of relief and quickly explained what had happened.

While he was flying on his word, the woman had suddenly bumped into him and sent him falling. He had almost fallen off the cliff.

Although he was unharmed, most of the spirit herbs were destroyed.

“Please, can you be reasonable? You blocked my path while I was flying. My robe got ruined. Why don’t you mention that part in your story?” said Yi Lian. “Moreover, the spirit herbs were in your hands. Did I actually take them from you and damage them? If you couldn’t protect what was yours, how can you blame that on me? What kind of logic is that?”

“But you bumped into me! That’s why the herbs got damaged!” said Cheng Chou.

“Your logic is just… If you hadn’t been standing there, would I have crashed into you? Fine! Let’s assume that I crashed into you. Why didn’t you move away? Maybe you should blame that spirit sword you are riding on. If you had forged a better sword, this wouldn’t have happened.”

“You…” Cheng Chou was momentarily speechless.

She was being completely irrational. However, Cheng Chou was only at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, while she was in the peak stage.

“Do you think it’s our fault, Senior Sister?” Jiang Hao asked.

“No. Since there are more of you to defend yourselves, obviously it’s supposed to be my fault,” said Yi Lian sarcastically. “Why don’t you all just leave?” “Leave?” Cheng Chou was stunned.

“I already said it was my fault. What more do you want?” asked Yi Lian.

“These spirit herbs are worth 1,800 spirit stones,” Cheng Chou said.

“So? How is that my concern? If they were that precious, why weren’t you more careful?” asked Yi Lian.

“Senior Sister, may we talk privately?” Jiang Hao asked politely.

“Am I supposed to delay my meeting with Senior Brother Qian Chen for you? Can I afford to waste my time?” she asked.

“I will compensate you, Senior Sister,” Jiang Hao said calmly.

Yi Lian laughed. “Fine! Let’s talk over there. I want to see what you have to say.”

She was curious about what this person wanted to say to her in private. If the person had a higher cultivation realm than hers, she naturally wouldn’t follow him. But they were at the same level, and she was confident in her abilities. She was close to breaking through to the Gold Core Real, after all.

It was just a matter of time before she advanced. She only needed one Heaven Rejuvenation Pill to complete the process.

The two of them walked to the other side of the cliff. The area was surrounded by fog.

“Speak,” said Yi Lian as she activated the defensive ability of her robe.

Jiang Hao was calm. Then, he used Daily Appraisal.

She was an inner sect disciple at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and she was from Misty Cloud Peak.

That was all.

There was nothing particularly special about her.

She was close to the Gold Core Realm.

She was annoying, and her personality was bound to lead to many troubles in the future. She might not live long with that attitude.

Surprisingly, she was thriving. Her cultivation had advanced so quickly.

“Senior Sister, do you really think that it wasn’t your fault at all?” Jiang Hao asked coldly.

“Your guy dropped it himself. What does that have to do with me?” said Yi Lian mockingly.

“But those are worth 1,800 spirit stones. Cheng Chou can only earn twenty spirit stones a month. With two hundred and forty a year, he can only pay off the damage in eight years. Even if he took on tasks, it would still take three to four years. There is also the risk to his life. If he’s lucky, he might survive with barely anything left at all, and it would still take more than a year,” Jiang Hao said.

“What does that have to do with me? Should I give him spirit stones just because you want me to pity him? Why don’t you give them to him if you pity him so much? Since it’s his fault, he should bear the responsibility,” said Yi Lian.

Jiang Hao looked at her. “Senior Sister, your logic is sound. Whoever is at fault should bear the consequences. In that case, I think you were the one who started it all. So, I hope you will do what is necessary and compensate Cheng Chou with 1,800 spirit stones.”

Yi Lian sneered. “So, you’re saying it’s all my fault?”

A cold light suddenly flashed. A long spear emerged and stabbed at her magical robe.

Yi Lian was startled at first. He was then terrified. In an instant, her defense was shattered.

The spear shot at her like a thunderbolt, and she didn’t even have time to react.

Splat!

The spear pierced through her and sent her flying backvvard.

Boom!

She was pinned to a stone wall.

“You…” She stared at Jiang Hao in shock.

He raised a blade and slashed at her neck.

With the power of Peak Foundation Establishment Real, she managed to break free. She rolled aside. But the sword stabbed into her thigh.

She cried out in pain. The sword pinned her to the ground.

Jiang Hao walked over to her with the Half-Moon Blade in his hands. He stared down at Yi Lian and slowly pulled the sword from her thigh. “Do you think I’m right, Senior Sister?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Yes… you’re right,” said Yi Lian fearfully. “What about the compensation?”

“I… I will compensate.”

“Senior Sister, do you have the necessary spirit stones?”

“Yes, I do.”

“That’s good. You are indeed very easy to talk to, Senior Sister.”

Yi Lian was terrified. Jiang Hao’s ruthlessness exceeded her expectations.

After collecting the spar and the sword, Jiang Hao applied a Healing Talisman on Yi Lian and left.

He needed to prepare the spirit herbs again.

However, his actions might have consequences. He didn’t know how powerful Qian Chen was. Would he intervene?

He needed to find out more to prepare himself.

He couldn’t just kill Yi Lian once and for all. The death of a disciple was a serious matter in the Heavenly Note Sect. The Law Enforcement Hall wouldn’t let him off easy. He might be caught and sent to the Lawless Tower. Even if he survived, his cultivation would suffer. Then he would be sent to the mines…

Jiang Hao was worried. He had already offended the Heavenly Joy Pavilion, the Sunset Immortal Sect, and the Blackheaven Sect. If he went to the mines, someone would definitely come for him.

At that time, he wouldn’t have the ability to protect himself.

Shortly after, he arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall. This was where disciples from various peaks gathered for missions.

He might be able to find out about Qian Chen, after all.

He looked at the available missions. He saw one mission that surprised him.

“Organizing the library. Should be at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Does not have to be from the Candlelight Pill Pavilion.”

The requirements and the mission were ordinary. What surprised him was the signature. It was signed by Hua Le.

It was like finding something important without putting much effort into it.

Without hesitation, he accepted the mission.

However, it seemed that more than one person was needed for the task. There was also a screening process. The requirements were quite strict.

‘I should be able to get in.’

He was sure that Hua Le knew about him and the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

If he approached Hua Le on his own accord, she would definitely accept him for the mission. She was here for the flower, after all.

But how could he make her teach him about foreign languages?
