Chapter 924: Are You Willing To Work For The Heavenly Note Sect?
Jiang Hao had never thought of using Man Gu’s wife and children to threaten him into submission.
That was only part of the plan.
It might create unnecessary trouble.
If it was dangerous, then it would be better to mention the Nine Rain Tea Leaves.
He had to convince the other party.
Otherwise, he would only make enemies for no reason, and his gains would not make up for the losses.
Taking them to the Astronomical Academy was to save them.
However, he did not know if Man Gu would know that.
Perhaps one day, he would find out.
“Shouldn’t he be glad?” Hong Yuye asked.
“For what?” Jiang Hao was puzzled.
“That he is of value to you,” she said. “You did what he had been trying to do his entire life.”
Jiang Hao shook his head. He never thought of himself as a good person, nor did he want to be one.
Being good always ended up grimly.
He was only doing things according to his plan. It had nothing to do with him being good or bad.
He was a person who worked by gauging the pros and cons of a plan.
He wasn’t a good person or a bad person as others thought.
He didn’t want to be burdened by other people’s opinions of him.
‘It’s just a mutual exchange.” Jiang Hao looked calm and composed.
Hong Yuye looked at him but remained quiet.
Hong Yuye was not interested in what Gu Changsheng and Xing wanted to do.
After he finished telling her everything, Hong Yuye asked, “Do you know why the Heavenly Spirit Tribe, a clan that was previously despised, is favored again?”
“Because of the Great Era War?” Jiang Hao said.
Gu Jin had said that.
“Almost.” Hong Yuye nodded and then stared at Jiang Hao. “What about you? Are you not joining the Great Era War?
Since it was the Great Era War, there would definitely be countless geniuses.
Joining them would bring immense benefits.
“If the one with the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, then you have to join as well.”
Jiang Hao shook his head. “I don’t want to fight with others. If they want to fight, they might as well. But I want to stay alive and improve myself.”
“Don’t you want to make a name for yourself?” Hong Yuye asked.
“Not really.” Jiang Hao shook his head.
“Don’t you want to be famous?”
“I don’t want to.”
“Don’t you want to reach the peak and be a hero?”
“I don’t want to.”
“Then, what do you want?” Hong Yuye asked.
“I only want to raise your flower properly, Senior,” said Jiang Hao.
Only the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower gave him blue bubbles. The longer he took care of it, the better.
Hong Yuye looked at him in surprise. “How old are you?”
“Forty.” Jiang Hao sighed.
He was no longer young.
“A normal person at this age would have been married with kids,” said Hong Yuye.
“Some of them might even be grandfathers by now,” Jiang Hao said.
“Were you the one who instructed your spirit beast to find you a partner?” Hong Yuye asked with a smile.
Jiang Hao lowered his head. He felt that it was time to set the spirit beast free.
“Senior, you must be joking.” Jiang Hao shook his head. ‘I’m too weak to take care of a partner.”
“You are in the late stage of the Golden Core Realm?” Hong Yuye asked.
Jiang Hao nodded and thought for a moment. “Man Gu is a very strong person. But he ended up in this position. If he didn’t have such worries, he might be able to go further.”
“No worries?” Hong Yuye said.
Jiang Hao nodded.
He could not control his own life and death. He was still weak. Getting involved in more things would be even more dangerous.
Hong Yuye stood up and said, “Did you find anything overseas?”
“The pawn we have overseas has a high position now,” said Jiang Hao. “When the time comes, they will be useful.”
Chi Tian was indeed a very good chess piece, especially when he had met a great benefactor.
Jiang Hao could give a good response to Hong Yuye when the time came.
As for Feng Hua, that would depend on the Heavenly Note Sect.
If Man Gu had enough information, Feng Hua would have a hard time escaping.
As for whether the other party would directly give up on her main body, it was hard to say.
It was not impossible for an extremely twisted person to give up her main body and let her avatar become the real her.
Hong Yuye nodded and then turned around and walked inside. “How’s your comprehension of the One Heart Palm?”
“There is no problem,” Jiang Hao said.
Hong Yuye turned to look at Jiang Hao.
Finally, she turned around and walked to the second floor.
She went to sleep.
Jiang Hao sighed and continued drinking his tea.
It was quite good for him.
He could leave the tea dregs for the spirit beast.
Seven days later, at the Hundred Flowers Lake, Hong Yuye sat in the pavilion. She was deep in thought.
At that moment, a figure appeared beside the pavilion.
“Sect Master…” Baizhi bowed respectfully.
“What did you find?” Hong Yuye asked softly.
“Man Gu has confessed everything, and we have news of Feng Hua. However, she might not stay there long.”
“That’s more than enough.” Hong Yuye nodded.
Baizhi hesitated. “After Man Gu attacked, he was ready for death. He said that his only request was to kill him. We must let Feng Hua know about it.”
Hong Yuye was silent for a moment.
Baizhi was surprised.
Usually, Hong Yuye didn’t care about the captives’ lives.
It seemed that Man Gu needed to make other arrangements.
As expected, a folded note appeared in Hong Yuye’s hand. She gently waved her fingers and the note landed in front of Baizhi.
“Give this note to Man Gu and ask him a question. The outcome will depend on his answer. If he has made up his mind, do as he wants, and kill him.”
Baizhi was shocked. Why did the Sect Master get involved personally for this person?
She did not see anything special about him.
However, she did not dare to open the note.
Since the Sect Master gave it to her, it was only meant for Man Gu’s eyes.
She only had to follow the orders.
At noon, Man Gu sat quietly in his cell at the Lawless Tower.
He waited for his death.
He wanted to die because he knew how ruthless Feng Hua was.
Creak!
The door opened.
Yinsha walked in.
“Can we do it now?” asked Man Gu.
“There’s one last thing,” Yinsha said.
“I’ll cooperate with anything,” said Man Gu.
He had already said everything.
Yinsha placed a note in front of Man Gu. “This is from the Sect Master. After reading this, answer one of my questions. If you have made up your mind, you can get what you want.”
“Is this note from the Golden Core Realm cultivator?” Man Gu asked.
“Don’t ask about that. Just look at it,” Yinsha said.
Man Gu had nothing to be afraid of, so he picked up the note and opened it.
However, the moment he saw the words inside, he was stunned.
It was unbelievable.
There was only one sentence written on it: “Your wife and child are under the protection of the Astronomical Academy.”
At that moment, Yinsha said, “The Sect Master asked me to ask you this: Are you willing to work for the Heavenly Note Sect?”
