Chapter Seventeen: This Instant

ed on the bed for a long time, but found nothing. Finally, he lifted the entire bedding, and saw a tiny piece of wood under the mattress.>"…"Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me...Jiang Wang walked forward, to the end of the street, and very naturally turned right, then proceeded left before quickly turning into a narrow alley.

He was in Wenxi County, moving about with ease, as if he had lived there for a long time, and did not interact with passersby.

Entering a courtyard, upon reappearing, he was clad in a hooded cloak and a long black robe, his attire entirely changed.

Before he left, he deliberately made a noise.

After a short while, a stout man in loose clothing and bare chest rushed out of the inner room, carrying a steel knife and looking menacing. As he looked into the courtyard, he immediately roared: "Damn you! Where's my robe that I was drying here"

"Hey! Who did this Even my cloak hanging outside was taken!"

"Damn you!," the fat man looked around, cursing. "Even dare to steal from me, Lao San"

"Look, Third Brother!" The skinny one's eyes lit up, and he pointed forward.

The fat man squinted his eyes.

There was a stone table in the courtyard. A clothesline, originally used to air-dry robes, was not far from the table. At this moment, the robe was gone, but on the stone table lay a bright silver ingot. It could buy many sets of robes and rain hats.

"Wow!" Zheng Lao San charged forward in anger, his blade descending with a whoosh: "You thief, daring to insult me!"

Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!

His voice was filled with indignation, clearly his dignity and his personality had been severely challenged.

The steel blade fell, splitting the silver ingot in two.

The blade slashed across the stone table, drawing a trail of sparks.

Zheng Lao San wiped his big hand, taking the larger portion and leaving only a small piece: "Si'er, this is what they left for you to buy a cloak. I'll take my share of the money for my robes first."

Although Li Lao Si had some things he wanted to say, facing that gleaming steel blade, he couldn't utter a word. He could only grumble and say, "I'll listen to you, brother."

To the west of Yong Guo, there were three countries, from north to south: Chen Guo, Jiao Guo, and Luo Guo.

Chen Guo is in the northwest, Luo Guo is in the southwest, and Jiao Guo is in the west.

Shunan Prefecture was the western prefecture of Yong Nation. Wenxi County was located within Shunan Prefecture, in its west, almost bordering the frontier city. Calculating it, it was not very far from Jiao Nation.

Qingyun Pavilion's headquarters being located in such a remote and underdeveloped region speaks volumes about its current standing. While it might be slightly stronger than the Lingkong Hall in Cheng Guo, its power is still limited.

I came to Qingyun Pavilion to look for the lost architecture of Yun Ding Xian Palace. The situation is different from what happened with Ling Kong Hall last time.

>

At Lingkong Palace, Dou Mian had already cleared all obstacles earlier, including resistance from the upper echelons of Cheng Guo. Lingkong Palace completely belonged to Dou Mian; with his cooperation, he just needed to go there and take over.

But at the Qingyun Pavilion, he had to consider the power of the upper echelon in Yonguo. He didn't have a Doujia or a Chu State backing him up.

So even if Qiong Yun Ting's strength is not very good, he still has to be low-key.

The lost architecture of Yun Ding Xian Gong, whether or not people from Qing Yun Ting know about its existence, it is impossible for Jiang Wang to take it away easily. Even a trade is impossible. If he were to brazenly approach them and lay out terms for a deal, the most likely outcome would be being swallowed whole by Qing Yun Ting and Yun Ding Xian Gong.

Being in a foreign land, with no clear path ahead and no support behind, one must be extremely cautious.

Jiang Wang was willing to spend three days walking through most of the streets in Wenxi County, carefully getting to know this county town. This was a manifestation of his meticulousness.

This caution, at least at this moment, gave him his first advantage against Zhang Linchuan - "geographic advantage."

Advantages must be utilized well, so as to achieve a winning edge.

In a hooded cloak and flowing robes, Jiang Wang strode forward, quickly reaching his destination.

On the street where Zhang Linchuan was just encountered, in the direction Zhang Linchuan was heading, there weren't many possible destinations to choose from.

At that moment, as he turned to thank the aunt, his peripheral vision caught sight of Zhang Linchuan walking to the left.

There was a straight road ahead, with five forks branching off to different places: three on the left and two on the right. Jiang Wang arrived at the fork on the left, the very first one.

Judging by Zhang Linchuan's previous walking speed, if nothing unexpected happens, he should pass through or turn into this fork in the road within half a quarter of an hour.

Timing is crucial.

>

Mentally calculating the time, Jiang Wang took a steady breath and stepped out.

He's not planning on doing anything right now.

But the first meeting was too sudden. In order to hide his hostility, he hadn't been able to look closely. He needed to see Zhang Linchuan again, observe his state, feel his aura, and get more accurate information.

At the same time, he was also thinking about what way he could leave a mark on Zhang Linchuan.

Perhaps you could try infiltrating a soul-concealing serpent

He quickly rejected the idea again. The Heaven-Piercing Palace was a dangerous place, and Shen Hun's hiding would almost certainly be discovered, alerting the enemy.

Or perhaps catch a whiff, to follow later

This is not a bad option. Unfortunately, the rank of those being honored is too low, they are probably not capable of shouldering such a responsibility.

In short, the first priority is to determine Zhang Linchuan's current abilities and status.

The second objective is to try and leave room for pursuit.

And the best result would be to confirm Zhang Linchuan's objective for this trip beyond that. Then, we could make a completely targeted plan, just like dealing with Hai Zongming. Knowing yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.

It should be said that Jiang Wang's attitude is cautious, and his actions are prudent.

Out of the lane, turn right.

A multitude of pedestrians walked toward them, varying in height, build and accent. Jiang Wang calmed himself, becoming more composed, his gaze sweeping idly across...

There is no figure that meets the target.

Zhang Linchuan is missing!

Jiang Wang's heart stopped for a moment, Chang Si almost flew out of its sheath.

But his breathing was steady, and his eyes were calm.

He still walked forward calmly, his heart beating again immediately, trying to beat as evenly as possible.

A problem has occurred.

This was a crucial fork in the road, but Zhang Linchuan wasn't there. He had either changed direction suddenly or speed, either way seemed to indicate—he had discovered something!

Have you been discovered Cotton Candy Novels ××www.mianhuatanGTXt.com

The more this kind of situation, the more we should stay calm.

Jiang Wang walked slowly, seemingly nonchalantly pressing his hand against his sword while his thoughts raced.

Suppose you were Zhang Linchuan. No matter what discovery, even if you truly discovered something...what could be discovered

It was nothing more than being suddenly noticed by a passerby on the streets of Yongguo Wenxi County.

That passerby, wearing a mask, was bundled up tightly, and their voice sounded unfamiliar.

Could he tell it was Jiang Wang

As for the Bone Envoy, he needed to focus on Dong A, Wei Qiji, anyone who could interfere with the White Bone Dao's plans. Even for Zhang Shi Zhang Linchuan's identity, Jiang Wang was just a newly inducted disciple, a rising star of the Daoist Academy. The probing in Tangshe Town was just a test...

In his memory, Jiang Wang was presumably gone with the fall of Fenglin City. He was no different from the hundreds of thousands who perished there. Back then, wasn't Jiang Wang just as good as Wei Yan, Zhao Lang, Shen Nanqi, and the rest

And yet, he himself displayed hostility, revealing murderous intent Jiang Wang seriously scrutinized himself.

He was certain he wasn't showing any emotion.

Then, faced with a stranger who only showed interest, what choice would Zhang Linchuan make

Murder on the rise, avoid it at all costs, or investigate

The Bone Messenger was naturally indifferent to life and death, the choice of killing no more difficult than killing a chicken. But the best time had already passed.

If you want to kill someone, you should strike when Jiang Wang misses his chance to observe Zhang Linchuan.

There has been no movement yet, indicating that Zhang Linchuan has abandoned the first option.

For someone like Zhang Linchuan, there's no need to shy away from a random follower. So he probably wants to find out who it is and why they followed him. He might also want to know if this person has any ill intentions towards him.

In the blink of an eye, I had made a judgment - Zhang Linchuan might be secretly watching!

Jiang Wang quickened his pace, suddenly speeding up.

But when his gaze swept over the street, people were as usual, and no one within his field of vision showed any signs of abnormality.

Where is Zhang Linchuan hiding

Now the situation has reversed, with the enemy in the dark and us in the light.

Jiang Wang had to admit, Zhang Linchuan was more difficult to deal with than he'd imagined. After carefully concealing himself to observe Zhang Linchuan, it seemed his precautions were still insufficient.

He didn't know where he had given himself away, but now that it was done, there was nothing left to do but to face the consequences.

Cope well.

At this moment, a green-skinned man walked toward them swaggeringly.

The young man wanted to turn right, but for some unknown reason, his mind changed and he turned left instead.

Just then, he bumped into a scholar-dressed man.

It seems that going left was a bad choice.

"Blind your dog's eyes!" Qing Pi roared, angrily grabbing the frail scholar.

The scholar angrily said, “I moved to the side, and you also moved to the side. How can you blame me”

"Still trying to argue!" the green-skinned one raised his fist to strike.

One hand caught his fist.

"A few trivial matters, is it worth this" Jiang Wang gently separated the two entangled people and softly advised: "When you're out and about, harmony is most important."

During this "peacekeeping" pause, he carefully observed everyone on the street, but there was no difference. He still hadn't found any trace of Zhang Linchuan.

"Am I overthinking this" he thought.

Zhang Linchuan might have just received some news and turned around to leave.

It's best this way...

That green-skinned fist was caught with ease. Knowing he was outmatched, he didn't even utter a harsh word. With just one "persuasion" from Jiang Wang, he quickly left.

“Thank you, gentlemen, for your assistance.” The thin scholar bowed his hand in gratitude.

"You're welcome." Jiang Wang patted his shoulder and continued walking. "I have something else to do, so I'll be going first."

At this moment.

The crowds on the street suddenly came to a standstill.

One by one, figures disappear.

After the crowd dispersed, only a figure remained in front.

The person stood straight, their hair hanging loose, with an aloof and detached air as if they were separated from the world.

On the long street, only he remained, his gaze fixed on that solitary back.

He turned around.
