Chapter 758: Chapter 758: The Ancestor Puts Down the Carry Pole
He Xiui’s voice had barely faded.
Jiangli slowly raised her head, but doused He Xiui with a splash of cold water.
He Xiui couldn’t help but be stunned, “Master, what do you an by that?”
Jiang Yongnian stared blankly at Jiangli, his eyes still sowhat unfocused and hazy, as if he was looking at Jiangli, yet it seed as if he was looking at soone else.
His mind hadn’t caught up yet, he was sowhat slow to react to He Xiui’s words.
Jiangli, however, was looking straight into his eyes, plainly said, “A shadow lurks between your brows, your hands stained red, your karma is heavy, bearing the life of another. Since you have a life debt on your shoulders, the only one who can save you is yourself.”
Jiang Yongnian’s heart suddenly contracted.
A trace of bewildernt and fear showed in He Xiui’s eyes as she shook her head tremblingly, “Master, what do you an? My son Yongnian is so timid, how could he hurt anyone? Could you have made a mistake?”
Jiang Yongxin was also confused, echoing, “Yeah, how could Yongnian possibly harm anyone?”
Jiangli looked at Jiang Yongnian and didn’t elaborate further, rely asking him, “Have you really not done anything wrong?”
Jiang Yongnian opened his mouth, trembling slightly all over, but the first thing he said wasn’t an answer, but a retort, “You, who are you to ask such questions…”
Jiang Yongxin quickly interjected, “Yongnian, she is the master we invited over, a real master, very powerful. She’s the one who woke you up just now, the Abbot of Jiaoyang Temple.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yongnian’s face turned even paler, his pupils shrank, “I don’t care whether you’re so master or not, this matter has nothing to do with you! I, I need to find Master Wu, where is Master Wu!”
Just when he thought about leaving, the suddenly nad Master Wu: “…”
In the room, all eyes turned to Master Wu.
Master Wu’s scalp tightened; he had just gotten up from the ground and now his waist hurt so much he couldn’t stand straight.
“Master Wu!”
Jiang Yongnian, who had failed to see Master Wu’s injury, looked at him as if he were his savior, rushed over in ecstatic relief.
Master Wu quickly raised his hand to stop him, crying out in alarm, “Jiang, Mr. Jiang, don’t call that! I’m no master, just diocre at best, I don’t know anything! She’s the real master, go to her, I really can’t handle this!”
Jiang Yongnian stood there frozen, his thin and pale body as if it were a toothpick standing there.
The slightest breeze seed to make him sway, as if it were going to blow him over.
Master Wu pressed his hands together, enduring the pain, waved at him with pleading, “Mr. Jiang, if you really wish to be saved, seek her out, don’t co to , I genuinely cannot handle this matter!”
Jiang Yongnian mumbled opening his mouth, staring blankly at Jiangli.
Jiangli gave him a slight smile, “Now, are you ready to tell the truth?”
Jiang Yongnian glanced at Master Wu again.
Master Wu, hunched over, made a pitiful gesture towards him, pointing at Jiangli, signaling him to approach Jiangli.
Jiang Yongnian’s gaze returned to Jiangli, feeling his scalp tighten, “I don’t understand what you’re saying… Since you’re a master, just take the money and solve our family’s troubles. I’ll give you a large sum of money; isn’t that good enough!”
Jiang Yongxin heard this and felt a twinge of doubt in her heart.
Not just her, everyone felt there was sothing odd about Jiang Yongnian’s words, as if he was deliberately hiding sothing.
Jiangli’s expression cooled, her eyes also chilling sowhat as she said with a feigned smile, “I’m afraid that’s a bit awkward, I’ve never done business that way. If Mr. Jiang wants to save his life, he should tell the truth. Of course, if Mr. Jiang doesn’t want to tell the truth, then I’ll just assu he’d rather die.”
