Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 127 Puppet

"younger sister."

Jiang Jian said softly.

"You've asked me this question twice."

"You should know me."

He stood up and raised his wrist.

The identity device passed by.

The separating light curtain dissipates.

"Hello, Zhao Jianxue."

Jiang Jian walked forward and gave a formal smile.

Edge of the porthole.

Hearing Jiang Jian's words, Zhao Jianxue turned her head and was surprised.

Obviously, he didn't expect that Jiang Jian would suddenly come over and greet him.

Facing Jiang Jian.

Her mood is very complicated.

Since I was a child, my grandfather always said that he had signed a marriage contract for me.

Zhao Jianxue, I had thought about it a long time ago.

No matter what the other person looks like, whether he is from the shadow area, or whether he has good God-given talents.

I will listen to my grandfather.

Obey the divine contract and marry each other.

But later.

The head of the Zhao family and his sister Zhao Chenshuang believed that Jiang Jian was born in the shadow area and there was a high possibility that he would not be able to obtain good divine talents.

So, while he was still young and didn't have a complete identity device, he quietly terminated the contract as his direct guardian.

after all.

According to the divine contract, as soon as she reaches the age, she must marry into the shadow area.

At that time, the God-given test had just begun, and Jiang Jian's God-given talent was unknown.

The Zhao family was not willing to gamble at all.

After all, the old master Zhao passed away.

The current head of the family has always been stubborn and self-willed.

Even the old master Zhao is famous for his talent in observing qi.

But the current head of the family has never been submissive to his father.

It's not just this one thing.

Even the other major matters of the Zhao family arranged by the old patriarch before his death.

He rejected them all and changed their directions.

Zhao Jianxue's divine contract is just one of them.

“We were strangers.”

"Now."

"Strangers too."

"Just classmates."

Think of this.

Zhao Jianxue suddenly felt cheerful and happy, as if the clouds had cleared and the sun was shining.

In a moment, I finally untied the knot in my heart that had been there for a long time.

"Hello, classmate Jiang Jian."

Zhao Jianxue stood up, smiled, and shook hands gently with Jiang Jian, "My name is Zhao Jianxue."

At this moment.

She was in a very calm mood.

My deceased grandfather, the filthiness of the Zhao family.

It seems that they are all far away from me.

Jiang Jian asked: "Do you know how your grandfather and my guardian knew each other?"

Zhao Jianxue shook her head slightly and said, "Grandpa told me this when I was ten years old."

"Perhaps, we can start with my grandfather's identity device, and also investigate the public care center in the shadow area carefully."

She thought for a moment, her eyes calm, "We have only one goal, which is to find your original household registration records."

"When a person dies, the ID card is destroyed, but usually the city government has a backup of the data."

"The public care center should also have surveillance footage from seventeen years ago."

"We will start investigating these two aspects."

"Classmate Jiang Jian, what do you think?"

Hear this.

Jiang Jian nodded and said, "How about this, I'll assign this team of inspectors to you. You go back to the Zhao family first and look for your grandfather's belongings to see if there are any clues."

"My sister and I are going to the public care center to take a look."

"Finally, we'll go to the city hall together to look for data backups."

Zhao Jianxue chuckled: "This is a good arrangement."

After the two of them decided on the plan.

Jiang Jian greeted her and returned to his seat.

My sister was looking at me with a strange look in her eyes.

Jiang Jian asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Zhao took the ID device and said, "The reason I asked you a second time if you like Zhao Jianxue is because I saw this video."

On the holographic screen.

A video is displayed.

In the picture, Jiang Jian looked lost and murmured softly: "I will not give up Jianxue!"

See here.

Jiang Zhao burst out laughing.

The next second, she stopped smiling and waved her hand, saying, "Don't worry, this video hasn't been circulated. It was sent to me by a friend."

Jiang Jian's expression remained calm as he said, "At the time, I was anxious to terminate the Divine Certificate Contract, so I had no choice but to take advantage of the situation and get more Alliance Coins."

Jiang Zhao said, "Actually, my roommate Zhong Ling likes you very much, too."

Jiang Jian shook his head and said softly, "Jiang Zhao, I want to ask you something."

Jiang Zhao raised his eyebrows.

Jiang Jian looked at her and asked, "My guardian is also your guardian. Why don't you care about this?"

The girl was stunned.

A few seconds later.

She tilted her head, as if avoiding Jiang Jian's gaze, and said, "In my heart, there is only one guardian, and that is Granny Xu from the public care center."

"It was she who raised those children, including you and me."

"Since Grandma Xu's death, the public care center has been contracted out and is run by informal citizens."

"I won't have a guardian anymore."

Jiang Zhao spoke in a firm tone.

As she spoke, Jiang Jian stared at her coldly.

After a while.

Jiang Jian suddenly spoke up and asked, "Jiang Zhao, are you hiding something from me?"

In the light curtain of the formation.

It was so silent that you could hear a pin drop.

The two looked at each other calmly.

There was another few dozen seconds of silence.

Jiang Jian spoke again, his tone lighter: "Sister, did you remember something?"

The words fell.

My sister, who was standing nearby, suddenly sighed.

at the same time.

Deep in her eyes, a tide of moon-white silver surged.

“After I recovered from my illness, I did remember some things.”

Jiang Zhao said, "I know who the guardian is."

"I even know more."

The girl looked at Jiang Jian.

Between the pupils, there was a surging silver-white reflection.

Jiang Jian said calmly: "Tell me."

Jiang Zhao shook his head.

Jiang Jian looked into her eyes and remained silent.

"Jiang Jian," the girl suddenly said, "You're hiding something from me, aren't you?" "For example, my illness."

"For example, your sword."

"for example."

The girl whispered, her eyes shining like silver, "My blood."

Jiang Jian stared at her with a changeable expression.

Memories suddenly flashed back.

Scenes from the past came flooding back.

……

"Have you really thought about curing her illness?"

The man asked from under the large burqa.

The boy nodded slightly.

The man chuckled: "But are you really willing to pay the price?"

The boy said, "She is my sister."

"I know."

The man said, "But she has bad luck and her bloodline is different from yours."

"You are of noble birth, are you willing to be a mortal?"

After a few seconds of silence.

The boy said, "Save her."

The man nodded and said, "Once your bloodline is stripped away, you can never get it back. Don't you regret it?"

The boy smiled and said, "In my eyes, there is no high or low."

"After all, she is my biological sister, we share the same blood."

"This bloodline was given to her."

"It's not buried."

"not to mention."

The boy whispered, "Now I am just a mortal on Earth."

"This bloodline is not only a burden to me, but also a shackle."

"Stripping the bloodline is a good thing."

“I don’t want to follow someone else’s path.”

Hear this.

The person under the black robe seemed to be thinking.

After a long time.

The man stretched out his slender white hand and said, "After stripping your bloodline, you will have to rely on yourself to repair your soul."

"The four realms of Earth, Moon, and Star Rings are sparse."

"Practice here."

"The spiritual platform is beyond reach."

The man said jokingly, "Don't die on the road of cultivation."

The boy whispered, "I won't die."

The man finally said, "Okay."

……

My sister came over and sat next to me.

"See you Jiang."

She softened her tone.

Jiang Jian glanced at her and said nothing.

Jiang Zhao sighed and whispered, "Brother."

"Jiang Zhao."

Jiang Jian was speechless. "What exactly are you going to do?"

Jiang Zhao said, "Let me tell you the truth."

Jiang Jian interrupted her: "Don't tell me."

The girl blinked. "Really?"

Jiang Jian nodded: "Really."

The girl asked again: "If one day I leave and you have no relatives, will you be sad?"

"Yes," Jiang Jian said concisely, "You are my sister."

Hear this.

Jiang Zhao was silent for a while, then said, "Then I'll tell you what I know."

"Guardians don't actually exist."

She gathered the sleeves of her school uniform and pointed at Zhao Jianxue with her slender white fingers like peeled onions.

"in other words."

"This is simply a farce directed and performed by Patriarch Zhao himself."

"We landed in Guangling City and were picked up by the Zhao family."

"Old Patriarch Zhao possesses the talent of seeing qi, and he vaguely sees that your talent is above level 3."

"Then I touched my left hand with my right hand, found a random member of the Zhao family to act as a guardian, and signed a divine witness contract."

"Master Zhao has seized our aircraft."

"And they threw the two of us into the public care center."

"They are trying to use the divine contract to bind you and use you for the Zhao family's benefit."

"But he never expected that he would die so soon."

"I never expected it."

"After his death, the public care center was contracted out to informal citizens."

"All the hidden lines he had planted to watch us inside have been ineffective."

"And Patriarch Zhao's final guarantee is the Divine Contract."

"It should have angered him more."

Jiang Zhao smiled, "He never imagined until his death that his own son would be so unfilial as to directly negate everything he had agreed upon, including this divine witness contract."

The words fell.

The light curtain of the formation fell into silence again.

Seeing this, Jiang still had no expression on his face, as if he was thinking about something.

Jiang Zhao continued, "This time when we return to Guangling, we have to find the aircraft."

"That flying machine that was taken over by Patriarch Zhao and whose whereabouts are unknown."

"That thing is definitely still hidden in the Zhao family."

"Perhaps, even the current head of the family is unaware of the existence of this aircraft."

"Those who knew about this were all killed by the old patriarch."

"If I hadn't awakened my memory, I would never have known these secrets."

She kept talking.

But didn't notice.

Jiang Jian's eyes were somewhat dim.
