Chapter Five: Abacus Like a String
oon as he heard Hu Shaomeng's voice, Chuanzi immediately shivered, calmed his breath, and tried his best to speak calmly: "Xiaocui, Xiaocui jumped into the well!"Who is Xiao Cui Jiang looked around, f..."What does it feel like to be in a state of harmony between heaven and man" Ye Qingyu rattled the abacus, her eyes fixed on the thick ledger, occasionally jotting down figures as she mumbled.
Jiang Wang... watched her calculate on the abacus.
Looking at Ye Qingyu's plan, I had a feeling of great conflict. It was like one plus one suddenly became three.
It's not that she wasn't good at it, just that she wasn't very skilled at handling the abacus and her posture wasn't graceful.
But her temperament was completely mismatched with something like accounting.
She is a cloud fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world, and should live in seclusion on the mountain and be detached from the world. Now she suddenly opens a shop in the market, rolls up her sleeves and calculates every penny here.
Each copper coin, weathered and worn by the dust of the world, rolled across her hand, untouched by grime...
It has its own unique charm.
"Asking you something!" Yè Qiuyǔ, busy as she was, raised her eyes and glanced at him.
Jiang Wang suddenly sat up straight: "The feeling of the state of heaven and human... this needs to be said from two aspects. In terms of cultivation, as long as one can let go of oneself and devote oneself to the way of heaven, they can leap thousands of miles in an instant, reach the peak in a thought, and there is also a chance to transcend; in terms of combat power, one can easily mobilize the power of heaven, surpassing ancient and modern realms."

He moved a little closer, lowering his voice: "Bringing down Ye Zhuzhi is child's play."
Ye Qingyu's gaze, which had been focused on the ledger, shifted back up. "Whom are we toppling"
"No, no." Jiang Wang scratched his head. "I said I'd make my way back - the Heavenly Dao is hard to get close to, so I just came back!"
Ye Qingyu held a fine brush pen, tracing figures in the ledger with practiced ease. The numbers were recorded beautifully, like poetry. A slight smile curved her lips: "And now"
"What's going on now" Jiang Wang was at a loss.
Ye Qingyu also lowered her voice, writing as she said, "Can we even beat the most heroic figure in Wan Gu Ren Jian now"
Jiang Wang originally opened his mouth to say something, but after thinking about it, he decided to be a little more humble. He said: "We haven't really fought before, so it's hard to say... I couldn't possibly fight him seriously, could I What do you think"
Ye Qingyu let out an "Oh" and began to turn the abacus again.
>
Seeing Ye Qingyu's humility, Jiang Wang continued, "I don't quite know how strong Ye Gezhu is. But anyway, Lu Shuanghe is recognized as the number one killer in the world today. I have no problem beating Lu Shuanghe."
"Humph." Ye Qingyu didn't speak.
Crackle, crackle.
The clicking of the abacus beads was surprisingly pleasant, like the melody of a stringed instrument, forming an ethereal tune on its own.
“You’ve got a pretty good story going on here,” Jiang Wang said.
"He's much stronger than Bai Guanjia." Jiang Wang said again.

“What are you comparing me to” Ye Qingyu helplessly put down her pen, tapped her chin with the tip of it, and proudly raised her chin a bit: “I ask you, what was Jiang Tianren thinking in Yinxian Forest at that time”

"I don't really have any thoughts," Jiang Wang said honestly. "Just do what needs to be done. In a state of heaven and man, there is almost no feeling, only memories and experiences."
“That’s exactly what I’m asking,” Ye Qingyu said, looking at him. “What would you do if you were still in the state of a Heavenly Human”
Here is the English translation:> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This issue isn't about emotions; it's about what is taken for granted at a subconscious level.
Of course, Jiang Wang said, "First, we need to leave Yuxian Forest so we aren't caught in the crossfire. Then, we have to get away from King Zhao, that man is very dangerous. I also promised Grandpa Zuo a meal before going to Yuxian Forest, and I don't want him to worry. And finally, I need to come to Yun Guo and see you—"
The study fell silent, and neither of them spoke.
It was the sound of my heartbeat, suddenly so clear.

“Huh” The door was suddenly pushed open, and Jiang An'an, dressed in a lake green dress with ash on her face, rushed in excitedly. She seemed to be under a spell, frozen at the doorway. Then she abruptly retreated backwards, pretending she hadn't appeared, but facing the two intense gazes, she could only force a smile onto her beautiful face: "Did I...intrude"
Right on its heels, the little gray dog raced along. Sensing something was amiss, it slammed on the brakes abruptly, but didn't quite stop. It collided hard with the threshold, flipping over completely. Its rotund body rolled across the floor for several times, dragging out a long grey-black streak.
"Hold it right there! What are you two up to" Jiang Wang didn't want to scold Jiang Annan, so she glared at the clumsy gray.
Ye Qingyu beckoned to Jiang An'an from behind the towering stacks of ledgers.
Just then, Jiang An'an put down her hand and walked into the study. She picked up the teapot, poured herself a cup of water, and gulped it down. Only after wiping her mouth with her sleeve did she turn to her older brother and say: "Let him go. He can't speak anyway, and he only understands some things."
The chubby grey creature, with its round and delicate body, opened its mouth wide, sticking out its tongue. It rolled onto its back, exposing its soft belly. Its tail twitched against the floor like a broom, sweeping it clean.
The text you provided is already in English: "
" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
"Where did you guys go" Jiang Wang's gaze fell back to his younger sister, asking dryly.
"Hey!" Jiang An'an came alive, excitedly saying: "Cave exploration! I tell you, that place is really dangerous and exciting. The lava erupting was gorgeous!"
No wonder there's still ash on their faces.
"Is that so" Jiang Wang, of course, knew that the place Jiang An'an went exploring was absolutely safe, but he pretended to be very interested: "Maybe I'll go with you next time."
"Okay!!" Jiang An'an excitedly jumped up, but then thought better of it and sat back down, waving her hand nonchalantly: "Forget it, you're always busy. I don't even know when next time will be—go do your own thing, I'm busy too!"

"Forget it, what's the point of waiting Strike while the iron is hot!" Jiang Wang didn't dwell on those eighteen True Ones from another race anymore. He put on a confident air and slammed his fist on the table: "Let's go now! My sister Qingyu and I will accompany you on this adventure, to see how exciting this underground cave really is! My brother has a nickname, the King of World Explorers! Do you know"
"Forget it, I'm not going. There's still a pile of accounts to settle." Ye Qingyu patted the thick ledger: "You siblings go on your adventure."
Jiang Wang was racking his brain, trying to figure out how to persuade them, how to paint a picture of the joys of adventure, and how to entice these mountain folk.
Jiang An'an had already skipped over, grabbed Ye Qingyu and started walking outside: "Oh! We'll settle this later! Today is for joy, today is for enjoyment. Today's matters can wait until tomorrow!"
Ye Qingyu was dragged out, and his words remained in the room: "At the end of the year, I need to calculate the costs. I have to see the situation at each branch so that I have a bottom line -"
"Oh, tomorrow, tomorrow!" Jiang Anan was incredibly enthusiastic.
Jiang Wang laughed and followed, specially asking An'an: "How come your Qingyu sister has so many accounts now Stack after stack, it looks hard work."
"I like it!" Ye Qingyu replied eagerly. "It's my own business, I have to keep a close eye on it, right"
"It's a form of cultivation too!" Jiang Anan said with a smile. "Aunt Bai said that Qingyu wanted to experience the world and see the red dust in the most polluted place, amidst the hustle and bustle, where fame and fortune flow — so she opened an inn!"
Jiang Wang naturally knew who "Bai Yi" was since he had been writing letters with Ye Qingyu. He couldn't help but ask An An: "Why do you also call her 'Bai Yi' She's a renowned master of Confucianism, you should show her proper respect."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Jiang An'an smiled and said, "I would like to call her Grandma Bai, but Auntie Bai doesn't allow it, and Qingyu sister doesn't allow it either. I'm so embarrassed!"
>
Ye Qingyu quickly covered her mouth and said, "How come you're so secretive today Did you skip reading your book"
Jiang Wang's eyes were filled with smiles, just about to say something, then she flipped her palm open again, the Tai Xu Gou Jade in her palm flickered.
"How about we just skip it this time We can go another day" Jiang Anan glanced over here and yawned, "I'm actually pretty tired from running around today."
She turned her head and looked at the clumsy gray: "Are you tired"

Just moments ago, the playful little gray pup was bouncing around and running everywhere. But now, he's slumped down with his ears drooping and lying flat on the ground. He's completely exhausted.
Jiang Wang threw the Tai Xu Gouyu back and, with a kick, lifted up the foolish gray: "What do you mean You said you'd come today, so you had better come today. When has your brother ever fooled you It's just some trivial gossip, no need to reply - I made it clear, the place you chose must be thrilling and dangerous, otherwise, it wouldn't show off your brother's skills!"
"How is it going Did you get in touch" a sweet voice asked.

This is a bustling restaurant. Three people sat opposite each other by the window on the second floor.
A more detailed description is that Yin Guan, with his hair loose, sits alone on one side, facing him a man and a woman who are behaving intimately.
There are many people on the street.
This really doesn't look like a place where members of a killer organization would meet.
It's not quiet enough, nor dark enough.
According to Lord Yi's preferences, at least choose a funeral home instead of going to some cemetery or burial ground.
But this was the first time he had met the big boss after the Ji Yan Yue incident.
Yin Guanting's position, he couldn't change it.
Getting on the wrong side of Jingguo, even for a small matter, was a big headache. The two brothers had come close to being caught several times recently. To better conceal their whereabouts, he'd now taken on the form of a woman.
At this moment, I am nestled beside the upright and righteous Lin Guangming, gazing intently at the leader—
The leader just stated that he still has absolute control over the organization, having restructured the intelligence network and being able to resume business at any time. He can also readily contact the remaining Yama Lords.
Although he didn't know how many Yama Kings were left in the organization, or if the leader had recently recruited any new ones.
Alas! Former acquaintances are like fallen leaves in the wind, their bodies lost who knows where. It truly makes this coroner, Wang, sigh with sorrow.
Yin Guan flipped his palm, stopping the communication. He picked up a cup of wine, with a cloudless and breezy expression: "Well, I've contacted them all. They were happy and enthusiastic to receive my message and are ready to participate in the mission at any time."
"Good morning, Leader." Lin Guangming was very polite as a newcomer: "May I ask a question"
>
Yin Guan also made a respectful gesture of "please": "Urban King, we are all family, no need to be so polite - please."
Yes, under the coercion of Wuguan Wang, Lin Guangming finally joined Di-men.
He had no choice. Forced to become an enemy of Jingguo, he could no longer survive in the open. To secure more resources, he was forced to join "Quick Money," a mercenary organization.
Let's put aside past concerns for a moment. Working in this organization offers the unique opportunity to house the souls of powerful colleagues who have passed away, saving us the trouble of individually seeking out their spirits. It truly is a heartwarming job.
Due to his unassuming nature, he was supposed to be the King of Ten Heavenly Revolving Wheels, existing in the most inconspicuous position. However, the former King of Revolving Wheels was still imprisoned in the central heavenly prison, leaving the position vacant. The Ninth Heaven Equal King was also stubbornly alive...
So he had no choice but to become the King of Bā Diàn City.
The third from the bottom, it's a bit eye-catching.
I haven't been careful enough in my work, so I will try my best to pay attention in the future.

“I noticed you were just using the Illusory Realm to contact your colleagues—" The newly appointed City Lord, Lin Guangming, endured the discomfort of being pressed against by the coroner Wang, and carefully said, “The Illusory Realm is said to be independently managed by the Supreme Daoist Master. Who knows what authority the major empires have within it The Central Heavenly Prison has been constantly pursuing our organization. As assassins, using the Illusory Realm to communicate wouldn't that easily expose us”
Yin Guan smiled: "Let me tell you a secret."
>
Lin Guangming showed excitement at being trusted, leaning closer: "I will definitely keep your secret."
Yin Guandao: "I have never concealed my identity. Qin Guangwang is Yin Guandao, and Yin Guandao is Qin Guangwang. The whole world knows."
Lin Guangming sat back sheepishly: "You don't care, but the other Yama might be worried about exposure"
Yin Guan looked at him and smiled, "It seems you're the more worried one."
"I'm also thinking of the organization——" Lin Guangming said righteously, "The leader may not understand me, but Brother Wu knows my character."
Officer Wang beside him shyly nodded, and said in a high-pitched voice: "Guangming is very reliable."
That's why they say hell has no gate, it's all about the ruthless.
Even with such a disgusting scene, Yin Guan and Lin Guangming remained composed.
"This time it was just a simple communication, and the letter was all in code." Yin Guan explained. "As a rule, we would never use the Illusory Realm to communicate missions. In the past, urgent contact between colleagues generally relied on the secret methods of the Imperial Investigators. But this time he has only just escaped from the Central Heavenly Prison, and needs some time to clear any trouble. For future missions, I will notify everyone through a safer channel."
Yin Guan certainly wouldn't say that he had insider friends in the Taixu Illusionary Realm, who knew it was safe, at least generally speaking.
The coroner, Wang, blushed and said coyly, “Hmph! Big Brother, don't you already checked it many times and reviewed it thoroughly before coming to see me How can you still say that there is a problem with me”
Yin Guan stood up a finger and smiled faintly: "Be cautious."
“By the way, boss,” Lin Guangming said, “how many Yanluo figures do we currently have in our organization I want to get a sense of our strength.”
Yin Guandao smiled and said, “At least we have each other: you, me, the coroner, Pingdeng Wang, Yama, and Chu Jiang Wang.”

"Hmm" Wang Jin, the coroner, couldn't help but ask: "Big Brother, what about King Bian Is he gone"
Yin Guan recalled the message he had sent earlier that hadn't received a response, and shrugged. "Unfortunately, King Biancheng has already died."
"Alas! He was my dearest friend and kin—" Wang, the coroner, expressed his profound sorrow, tears welling up in his eyes, but he hesitated to speak further.
With a heavy grind of his teeth, he finally said to Urban King Dao: "Younger brother, as I told you, the second Duke of Bian from our organization is just like me, a righteous man. We are both people who uphold justice in the darkness. It's a pity that he didn't live to see the dawn."
“Oh. That’s a pity.” Lin Guangming also expressed deep sympathy: “Guangming is here now.”
The official Wang Jiaoqiao's face, suddenly twisted into a very complex expression.
Even with his weirdness, he's a bit too much to handle.
Yin Guan raised his cup and said, "Let us drink together to toast King Bian of the State of Wei."
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Lin Guangming carefully looked at the wine in front of him: "I never drink, I'll just offer this with my heart. I hope that if he knows about it, he can understand me."
The magistrate Wang, since his body was not his own, raised his cup and drank: "To King Bian of the City!"
Yin Guan picked up the cup, swirled it around, and then casually poured it on the ground. "To everyone who has sacrificed for the organization,"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Three good brothers sat here for a long time, neither the wine nor the food touched. Wang, the coroner, took his first and only sip of this drink. The liquor indeed contained three different poisons, all colorless and odorless, from the three different men sitting at the same table.
It is indeed a very united and promising organization.

It is very bright.
