Chapter Sixty-Seventh: How It All Used to Be

the official surnamed Jiao served diligently and loyally.Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!By the time Jiao Wu arrived in Wening, he had even brought his troops to attack..."Jia," means beautiful.

As the first of the Five Classics in Confucianism, *The Book of Songs* says, “How excellent and fresh! How about the old ones”

A newlywed is already indescribably beautiful, so imagine how stunning they'd be upon a reunion!

Later, people often say "a short separation makes love grow stronger," which roughly comes from this sentence. (Note 1)

The city of Yanggu earned its auspicious name, naturally carrying the builders' hopes for a flourishing future. It also suggests, from a certain perspective, the unique advantages this city possesses.

Jiacheng has mountains and water, with beautiful scenery. It is also rich in mineral resources, and the lake fish are delicious.

Although ferocious beasts still pose a threat, like the Maple Forest City, they mostly concentrate in wild areas. At least in towns and cities, people's lives are still peaceful.

After leaving Qingyang Town, we walked for a while longer. The flow of carriages and pedestrians on the official road gradually increased.

...Neither were there any extraordinary cultivators accompanying him for protection. It seemed that this stretch of official road was relatively safe.

Although Shuanzi doesn't come to Jiac City often, at least he hasn't gotten lost.

After paying the city entrance fee and storing their carriage at a nearby inn near the city gate, Jiang Wang and his two companions began to explore the city.

Even though Jiang Wang had always said he didn't judge people by their appearance, he couldn't help but admit that the scenery here nourished its people. In Jiacheng, both men and women generally possessed good looks.

If the Lichen Sparrow were to appear here, it would undoubtedly be the ugliest bird in the entire city. Unlike in Nanyao City, where he had several strong competitors.

Jiang Wang's purpose for this trip was primarily to understand the situation of the Xi family, so as to determine his next course of action and scale in Qingyang Town. After all, with his current cultivation level, he could theoretically sweep through Qingyang Town, but he couldn't ignore the military power of Jiacang.

As a vassal state of the Qi kingdom, Yangguo had lost a large portion of its sovereignty and was weaker than Zhuangguo.

For example, the masters of all major city-regions in Zhuang Guo must have at least the cultivation level of the Inner Palace Realm. The only exception is Dou Yuemei, who has reached the peak of the Tenglong Realm. This is because of the contributions and efforts made by her deceased husband, Sun Heng. Moreover, Dou Yuemei's own combat strength far surpasses that of an ordinary peak Tenglong Realm cultivator.

She later effortlessly obtained the Divine Ability in a battle on Yu Heng Peak. Although her path to cultivation was cut short, as the Divine Ability's inner abode, she was already one level stronger than ordinary Inner Abode realm experts. In fact, she became the strongest among the lords of the major cities and regions of Zhuang Country.

While the strength of the city lords in the Yang Kingdom was considerable, it still paled in comparison to those from other regions. For example, the lord of Jia City only possessed the cultivation level of a peak Ten Dragon Realm expert.

This is a test.

Of course, a family as large as the Xis, having been rooted in Jiaceng for so many years, couldn't possibly have only one peak-level Transcendent Dragon Realm expert.

Jiang Wang walked casually with his eyes sweeping across the surroundings, ears attentive to every sound. He carefully observed this city.

Paying attention to the details was how he, along with Ling He and Zhao RuCheng, learned to complete various missions when they were first a team.

Walking and walking, the maidservant Xiaoxiao found herself unable to move her feet any further.

Jiang Wang noticed her eyes were almost hanging in a fabric shop, reluctant to leave.

He just didn't dare to speak to Jiang Wang.

It's nothing important anyway. Jiang Wang smiled and said, "Want to go in and take a look"

Little Xiao lowered her head and said, "I want to make some new clothes for my lord..."

"It's alright, go take a look." Jiang Wang encouraged softly, then turned to Zhuan Zi and said, "You should also go pick out some cloth for your wife. Consider it a reward for accompanying me to the city to catch the carriage."

> Shuanzi is a big fellow, but right now his face turned red: "I...don't have a wife yet."

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at XiaoXiao.

Jiang Wang laughed, "Then I'll give it to your mother."

Although they had only just met, Chuanzi knew that Jiang Wang was not a pretentious person. This time, he was no longer polite and strode into the cloth shop. "Alright!"

With You Zhuan leading the way, Xiao Xiao was less reserved and followed into the textile shop.

Xiao Xiao and Chuan Zi went to choose suitable fabrics, while Jiang Wang looked around casually.

Listening to the chatter of those young girls and wives, these women crowded in the cloth shop picking out fabrics, mostly talked about family matters, trivial things, but more or less reflecting the situation of this city.

With Jiang Wang's sharp ears, if he paid attention, those hushed whispers would be as clear as a gong, not a single word escaping him.

A conversation caught Jiang Wang's interest.

"Hey, this guy looks unfamiliar. What family's son is he"

"Don't get your hopes up, having both servants and maids means they must be a wealthy family."

"Bah, I just think he's pretty good-looking, let me tell you."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“He’s just average-looking, really. He's nowhere near as handsome as my young master Xi. I saw him once that year and he completely captivated me. My heart hasn’t recovered yet.”

"What You're Young Master Xi, you're married! Be more reserved! He's MY Young Master!"

"Tsk tsk, you're still being too idealistic. Take a good look at this young master in front of you. Young Master Xi is practicing in the Immortal Valley, would he even look our way"

That's not necessarily true, what if he's blind

The two of them giggled softly, thinking they were being discreet, but unknowingly, Jiang Wang had heard everything.

As for the young master of the Xi family, who was much more handsome than him, according to their discussion, Jiang Wang's greatest curiosity was which fairy valley and sect did he belong to

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Since Jiacheng's young master can be addressed simply as "Young Master," he must naturally be the son of the City Lord.

And the sect that he cultivated and sought the Tao from greatly determined the future potential of the Xi family.

The rise and fall of a family, its glory and disgrace, are often influenced by one or two extraordinary individuals.

At this time, Zhuanzi had already squeezed over with the two colorful pieces of cloth in his arms. Xiao Xiao kept picking and choosing, seeming very hesitant.

Jiang Wang walked over and asked, "Which one do you like"

"All are very pretty, I don't know which one to choose," said XiaoXiao timidly.

Jiang Wang smiled and said to the owner of Buzhuang, "These colors, one for each, please wrap them up for me."

>

"Wait!" XiaoXiao called out, "Master, that's too much."

"You're good at needlework, aren't you Practice slowly."

When Jiang Wang was young, his family was quite wealthy. Later, he became friends with extravagant people like Zhao Ruocheng and no longer cared about worldly riches and silver.

Now that I have attained transcendence, my cultivation has advanced greatly, needless to say.

Despite the fact that he could have simply purchased them from the shop, the boss insisted on buying all of the fabrics. The shopkeeper even hired a carriage to deliver them to the inn where they were storing their luggage.

Just as I had finished buying the fabric, I heard a commotion coming from outside on the street.

“Ahhhh! Young Master Xi is back!!!”

"Where is it Where is it I want to see, I want to see, sister help me up!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The screams seemed to be contagious, spreading rapidly to my ears.

Jiang Wang only felt a gust of wind sweep through, and the whole cloth shop was instantly empty. Those young girls and daughters-in-law, as if each had become extraordinary, all disappeared at once.

He glanced at the shopkeeper of the cloth shop, only to see the old shopkeeper shrug his shoulders, apparently already accustomed to this kind of thing: "Young Master Xi always acts like this every time he returns to the city."

Both Shuanzi and Xiaoxiao looked at each other, but they didn't seem quite right. Instead, they looked a bit like country folks who had never seen the world.

Jiang Wang walked out of the cloth shop with a hint of curiosity, looking at the man riding slowly towards the end of the street. He wanted to see what kind of person he was.

But seeing him, he was dressed in a green robe, with a high nose and bright eyes, his bearing noble and elegant.

This text is empty.

Even the city guard had to be deployed, surrounding him, before they could stop the crazed women throughout the city.

He held the reins in one hand, his steed moving at a leisurely pace. Wherever his gaze fell, screams erupted.

"Young Master Zi Chu!"

"Master Zi Chu, look at me!"

unending

He's truly a dashing man.

And Jiang Wang noticed that the person's breath was long and unhidden, clearly already pushing open the Heaven and Earth Gate. He was a cultivator of the Tenglong Realm.

“Master, do you know where Young Master has gone to cultivate in these mountains” Jiang Wang asked casually.

The old shopkeeper of the cloth shop smiled, as if he were proud.

"East King Valley!"
