Chapter 192. A Lament
After hearing Zhang Qiuyue's experience, Jiang Jianxin first corrected her:

"Well... actually, I come from an ordinary background, but I'm more like... uh, someone who lives in seclusion in the city."

Jiang Jian thought for a moment, then nodded firmly and summarized succinctly:
"A reclusive powerhouse."

Zhang Qiuyue nodded as if she understood, then asked in confusion:

"So, in ordinary society, did you live alone or were you integrated into society?"

Jiang Jianxin said frankly:

"I integrated into society and even went to university."

She wasn't exactly lying. Judging from her forgotten childhood as a prophet, she was indeed a gifted person when she was very young, and even quite famous in the gifted society. Later, for some reason, she forgot her past and came to the ordinary society to study.

In a sense, she is indeed a powerful figure who lives in seclusion in the city.

Zhang Qiuyue had clearly never seen anyone with such an experience before. She looked at Jiang Jianxin in surprise and asked:
"Then... won't Rose Transportation interfere with your life?"

"Uh……"

Jiang Jianxin was slightly taken aback; she hadn't thought about Rose Transportation.

From her previous experiences, she knew that Rose Transportation was a well-known force under the Rose Group, whose main responsibilities were to manage transportation, establish barriers, and isolate the gifted society from ordinary society.

Before the end times, people in ordinary society were unaware of the existence of the gifted society and gifted individuals, largely thanks to Rose Transportation.

Previously, in the polluted forest area, Jiang Jianxin encountered a girl from the Fools' Society who left a note. From her narration, Jiang Jianxin learned that the girl had awakened her talent in ordinary society and was subsequently discovered and sent to the Fools' Society by Rose Transportation.

Therefore, it is clear that Rose Transportation's mission is not only to establish a barrier separating the two societies, but also to closely monitor the gifted individuals remaining in ordinary society.

Or perhaps they have special means to detect individuals with hidden abilities in ordinary society.

The Fool Society girl was found as soon as she awakened... What about her?

—When Rose Traffic lost her memories of the Precognitive Family and came to ordinary society, did she really not realize her identity?
—She went through high school and college smoothly in ordinary society, and never heard of any news about the elite society during that time. Who built such a tight information cocoon for her?
Jiang Jianxin was more inclined to believe that all of this was arranged by the Predictive Family, but he couldn't help but think about the relationship between the Predictive Family and Rose Communication.

Did the former do all this behind Rose Transportation's back, or was Rose Transportation an accomplice of the former?

Jiang Jianxin's ordinary life before entering the Realm of Talents had always been a cherished memory she often reminisced about after the apocalypse, but now it felt like a thorn stuck in her throat.

She suddenly realized something.

For a former tycoon of Bright Food Group, the biggest problem is that his life in seclusion in the city is actually quite uneventful.

A brand new second life, ordinary social experiences...

Jiang Jianxin initially thought that the Yuzhi family's grand scheme was laid out ten years ago and only began to unfold ten years later.

Now she vaguely realizes it.

The game of foreseeing the future may have started ten years ago after the initial plan was laid out, and it ran for a full ten years before reaching its climax with the appearance of the protagonist.

Jiang Jianxin slapped his forehead, wincing as he realized what had happened and instantly became happy.

Seeing Jiang Jianxin's changing expression, Zhang Qiuyue couldn't help but ask, "My lord...?"

Jiang Jianxin waved his hand and said:
"It's nothing, I was just spacing out." "Rose Traffic, right? It's none of my business. After all, I'm the top leader in the War Faction, what right does it have to control me?"

Jiang Jianxin smiled crookedly, revealing the arrogance of a proud daughter of heaven.

Zhang Qiuyue said with admiration in her eyes:

“I never expected you to come from an ordinary background—you are truly a role model for us.”

Jiang Jianxin smiled sheepishly.

She looked down at the map and steered the conversation back on track:
"I roughly understand the distribution of power. Are there any local customs and traditions in Haidu that I should be aware of?"

Zhang Qiuyue shook her head and said:
"No—but try not to go north, because there are many shocking and inhumane things in the area near the Black Park."

She lowered her eyes, subtly reminding him:

"My lord, you must know that the sea is a living hell. We cannot save it, nor should we try to save it."

Jiang Jianxin understood; this was a reminder not to act like a saint and try to save everyone who was in a bad situation.

When she was a Sword Master in the cultivation world, she cultivated the path of all living beings, so perhaps she still had some compassion for the world.

However, the Sword Master ascended to heaven to save the world. Although she has now remembered the Sword Master's memories and can use her sword heart and sword intent, there is no longer any Daoist intent for the common people in her sword aura.

Ultimately, this is because she is still a recent college graduate. The Sword Sovereign cycle only adds to her experience and abilities, but her values ​​are still those of an ordinary person in this world, and she is no longer influenced by the compassionate worldview of the cultivation world.

To put it bluntly—if you ask her to save the world now, she'd have to ask the other powerful figures in the group beforehand if the leader would call out names, and if they could be released early after the fight so she could go eat.

At this moment, Jiang Jianxin nodded calmly, his eyes full of sincerity, and said:

"Don't worry, I'm not a very kind-hearted war warrior."

Having said everything that needed to be said, Zhang Qiuyue got up to take her leave.

After listening to her entire story, Jiang Jianxin felt that this girl was resilient and a good person, so he said:
"You can chat with me anytime you have something to talk about, it's a way to make friends."

Zhang Qiuyue was surprised that someone of Jiang Jianxin's stature could be so easygoing, and she said in a flustered voice:
"No, no, your friends must all be of the rank of Lord Yin. I am just an ordinary person and I am not worthy to be your friend."

Jiang Jianxin patted her shoulder gently and said:
“You’ve told me everything about your past, and we’ve really opened our hearts to each other, so why can’t we be friends?”

Having said that, Zhang Qiuyue had no choice but to say:
"I am grateful for your appreciation, sir. It is my honor to have made a friend like you."

Her words were mostly in an official tone, and Jiang Jianxin knew her fear, so he just smiled and didn't make things difficult for her anymore.

Zhang Qiuyue lifted the tent flap and left, a cold wind blowing in, causing the power map on the table to tremble slightly.

Jiang Jianxin didn't move; her gaze remained fixed on the picture.

The distribution of power in Haidu is intricate and complex. Apart from the information Zhang Qiuyue had told her, other standard intelligence, such as the names of various organizations, their strongholds, and their chains of interest, was all densely marked on it.

Each one is like an invisible black thread, winding around the sea, weaving it into a deep, dark ocean.

Jiang Jianxin stared silently at the picture, and no one knew what she was thinking.
