Chapter 230. Wen Yu's Doubt

Intuition fell silent; it didn't know how to answer.

Because it cannot lie, it simply keeps quiet.

Jiang Jianxin saw that it didn't reply again and assumed that his intuition had failed him again, so he didn't pay any attention to it.

She stared at the status bar and sighed, then opened the information window of the associated account to check the new message that had just popped up.

[Reinstated Veterans] Apply for Power Certification [Click to Process]

The notification dot kept flashing. Jiang Jianxin glanced at it and clicked on the "Click to process" link.

The link redirected, and soon a window popped up, displaying the Rongjun's application for influence.

As a top-tier force within the Light faction, the TV station clearly behaved much more cautiously than other factions.

Its application form for establishing a power base is very detailed, asking about everything from the size of the power base and the location of its permanent residence to the identity information of its main members. If you want to complete the certification, you have to fill in each form and submit it to the administrator for review. You can't falsify or omit anything.

Jiang Jianxin looked at the densely packed information on the application form, and then focused his attention on a few lines introducing the members of the faction.

[Faction Leader: Chen Xinran, Faction: [War], Rank: [Sword Master], Talent: [Ruthless Swordsmanship]]

[Elder of the Faction: Orange, Alignment: [Chaos], Rank: [The Fool], Talent: [Faceless Man]]

[Elder of the Faction: Yuan Ziqi, Faction: [Light], Rank: [Omniscient], Talent: [Top Scholar]]

"The Ruthless Swordsmanship..."

Jiang Jianxin repeated the name of Chen Xinran's ability in a low voice, his expression inscrutable:
"This word... it sounds so familiar."

"Could this be the ruthless path of the cultivation world?"

[This is the ruthless path of the cultivation world.]

Intuition struck again, it replied.

I know her whole story. Do you want to hear it?

Tell me quickly!

Jiang Jianxin urged.

Intuition slowly replied:
[This person previously obtained a double-edged sword from Zhenbei City and also acquired the sword technique, but she lacks spiritual energy and has been unable to use it.]

[Later, the pollution of the Southern Rift gave birth to a large number of new gifted individuals, so she also tried it.]

[Finally, she awakened her talent. Because she had practiced sword techniques for a long time and was influenced by the culture of the cultivation world, her talent directly became her sword path.]

[In this way, she wouldn't need to use spiritual energy to activate it; she could unleash sword intent simply by relying on her innate talent.]

Jiang Jianxin was a little confused:

[Where did she get her sword technique? I remember the Tangguang Sword only created a sword mound, it didn't say there was a sword technique inside.]

Intuition reminded me:
[Have you forgotten? You let your senior brother escape during the Zhenbei City incident.]

When you summoned the Twelve Swords to besiege the city, he feared you would pursue and kill him, so he fled in panic, leaving his Qiankun Bag behind.

[The binding of the Qiankun Bag to its owner would fail across the world barrier, so she picked it up and obtained the sword technique.]

Jiang Jianxin's lips twitched, and he asked in surprise:

No, my Twelve Swords besieging the city is to prevent petty villains from profiting from the chaos; I have no time to deal with them.

[You're a Sword Master, your moves are incredibly powerful, yet you're always so carefree, never realizing how awesome you are.]

"Intuition tells me."

Jiang Jianxin scratched her head and remained silent. She looked at the words "Ruthless Sword Path" and sighed at them.
[The Path of Ruthlessness—graduating from that path won't be easy.]

People often think that the hardest thing to overcome on the path of ruthlessness is the tribulation of love, but little do they know that the most fatal thing is often the gentle, enduring warmth of a tender relationship.

A light left on by parents late at night, a friend's hand on their shoulder when drunk, a piece of candy handed to them by a child—these are harder to guard against than passionate love.

Those who cultivate the path of ruthlessness must build an ice wall in their hearts with their own hands, treating even the nickname of a childhood playmate as a deadly poison.

If the Path of All Living Beings is the human world filled with the smoke and fire of life, then the Path of Ruthlessness is the long, endless snow. That snow will pave the ladder to immortality, and it will also bury the footprints of those who came here.

When the day of enlightenment arrives, looking back, one will find that the fields of graves in one's hometown, along with the elders and fellow villagers, are all covered by white snow, leaving no trace.

Well, everyone has their own choices. Although the Path of Ruthlessness is indeed a niche profession, some people do succeed in it. I hope she doesn't regret the path she chose.

Jiang Jianxin answered without waiting for her intuition to respond. She continued to scroll down, taking notes as she read, and flipped to the very bottom in one go, thinking that it was time for her to give her opinion on how to handle the situation.

However, it was discovered that the processing button above was grayed out, with a line of small text written on it:
[The administrator has approved.]

【? 】

Jiang Jianxin was shocked:

【Wait...aren't I an administrator? How did it approve it on its own when I didn't agree?】

Intuition analyzed it for her:
There can't possibly be only one administrator in an organization; there are so many things to handle every day. There should be at least two or three.

[This is clearly because you didn't handle it, but your administrator colleague handled it for you.]

Jiang Jianxin felt that things had developed in a way that was somewhat unexpected.

—So...so she not only has stable influence, but also stable colleagues?
The current situation is very strange. It's like starting out at a sunset company, only to be told that you've always had a company and even had colleagues with whom you're currently working when the company is about to go bankrupt and you've already found another job.

Her colleagues weren't surprised that she wasn't working; she remained calm and continued to help with official business.

In movies and TV shows, the scenario where someone infiltrates two companies and can still live a normal life is usually called an undercover agent.

But the main problem is that no one told her whether she was an undercover agent or had some other more complicated relationship.

The whole situation was shrouded in mystery, and she had to figure out her true identity on her own.

[Oh no, my gut feeling tells me my brain is about to explode.]

Jiang Jianxin covered his head, his knuckles turning white, as if he were trying to force those chaotic thoughts out of his temples.

"It's alright, just follow the plan. Getting into the Fools' Club shouldn't be a problem."

The answer was intuitive and straightforward.

She took a deep breath and quickly swiped her fingertips across the screen, hastily closing the page for the linked account.

Just as she was about to switch back to the forum interface to take a break, she suddenly heard Xiao Zhang's hurried footsteps outside the tent—

"Master Jiang!"

Xiao Zhang's voice was very low, but it couldn't hide the nervousness in it:
"There is a gentleman named Xie outside who is looking for you."

……

At this time, the War Alliance hopes to establish a base.

Zhu Yan took a sip of tea and looked at the gray-robed youth across the table with a forced smile.

The young man had a handsome and gentle face, with his light gray eyes slightly lowered, as if veiled by a layer of mist.

He sat there, his brows slightly furrowed, and slowly said:
"...You mean, Jiang Jianxin used A Yu's advanced privileges to rescue Qin Xuan?"

Zhu Yan nodded, trying her best to control her emotions and make her expression appear calm and composed.
"Yes, I'm very curious, when did you grant Jiang Jianxin such high-level AI access, Lord Outlaw?"
