Mountain and River Festival

Chapter 532 That Miss Jiang is not a good person

Worried about upsetting Young Master Jiang Chenzhou, Zang Wanchun only briefly scanned the scene with his divine sense during Qianqian's moaning "bed scene." Finding that there was an array blocking the way, he didn't insist and just enjoyed the sounds.

Only after the formation was removed and the decoy was finished did they see the full appearance of the so-called Young Master Jiang, who was indeed a handsome young man.

Lu Xingzhou and Dugu Qingli weren't afraid of Jiang Yuan discovering their divine sense probing; they looked openly. The so-called barrier against divine sense below the highest level couldn't stop these two freaks; they easily probed in with a little effort.

Then they saw Jiang Yuan straddling Qianqian and pinching her randomly, while also sending a telepathic message: "It's not that nice to touch, why are you so eager to rub it?"

Dugu Qingli: "?"

Lu Xingzhou was covered in cold sweat, feeling as if the temperature around him had dropped by more than ten degrees.

Did you send it to me by telepathy or did you intentionally send it to Little White Hair?

Jiang Yuan continued to undress Qianqian, telepathically saying, "You even told me to strip you naked... Is it really necessary? You're interested in women who are out of their minds?"

The clothes had already been torn to shreds by Qianqian herself, so she just peeled them off as easily as peeling bamboo shoots, leaving them clean.

Two large bamboo shoots sprang out. Qianqian's groan grew louder: "Young Master Jiang..."

Lu Xingzhou: “…”

Dugu Qingli, unable to bear it any longer, grabbed Lu Xingzhou's waist and said, "Didn't you say you weren't interested in courtesans? So what are you doing?"

"I'm innocent! That man surnamed Jiang is slandering me!"

"You yourself said that Jiang Yuan is completely incapable of scheming! Who are you, Lu Xingzhou, to be tricked by her?"

"I……"

"Just tell me, did you rub it or not?"

"Damn it..." Lu Xingzhou's waist was aching terribly, and he had no choice but to accept the fact that he had been tricked by an idiot.

Therefore, one should never underestimate an enemy!
Lu Xingzhou covered Dugu Qingli's fingers that were pinching her waist with one hand and put his arm around her shoulder with the other. Unable to argue, he could only use force to control her.

Dugu Qingli struggled fiercely: "Let me go!"

"Shh..." Lu Xingzhou quickly whispered in his ear, "Be careful not to get caught. Zang Wanchun is a top-tier official."

Dugu Qingli angrily held back her anger, still wriggling slightly.

Inside the house, Jiang Yuan's joy turned to sorrow.

Originally, she only intended to harm Lu Xingzhou, but the naked Qianqian hugged her tightly. Qianqian, who was in a daze, was unusually strong. Jiang Yuan was caught off guard and was knocked down on the bed with a cry of "Ouch".

Qianqian's eyes were filled with infatuation, and she lowered her head to kiss her cheek: "Young Master Jiang~"

Jiang Yuan pressed her mouth shut with all her might, and with a struggle, she rolled over and pinned her down.

The two girls were rolling around on the bed, one of them completely naked, their white flesh swirling around. The scene was incredibly beautiful, leaving Lu Xingzhou and Dugu Qingli dumbfounded.

"Lu Xingzhou! Quickly break her blissful illusion! This is never going to end!" Jiang Yuan pressed down on Qianqian, exasperated.

"How can I solve this from so far away? You solve it yourself."

"I can't!"

"Then tell me, did I just tell you to strip me naked?"

"No, no, I was wrong, okay?"

"Alright then," Lu Xingzhou said leisurely, "Just knock her out."

Jiang Yuan: "?"

It seemed like he had just remembered that he was already a top-tier expert, while Qianqian was just a sixth-tier low-level Kalami, and had no right to breathe on him.

In that moment of stunned silence, her clothes were almost ripped off. Unable to bear it any longer, Jiang Yuan knocked Qianqian unconscious again with a karate chop.

The world is purified.

Jiang Yuan got up as if in a daze, sat down at the table, and poured herself a drink.

Lu Xingzhou whispered in Dugu Qingli's ear, "You've wronged me, haven't you?"

Dugu Qingli, a little embarrassed, patted his waist: "Does it hurt? Let me rub it for you..."

"Let me rub it for you too."

The two hid under a tree outside, rubbing each other, just like the ancient people in the Ice City. Jiang Yuan was furious inside.

I've been working so hard to act here, and I even had my clothes ripped off by a woman. In the end, I'm just part of your game, right?
Jiang Yuan angrily removed the formation. That should be enough of a performance; it's been like drinking a cup of tea. She'd heard that most men's performance in that area was only this good, and Lu Xingzhou's might even be shorter.

A moment later, there was a knock on the door, and Jiang Yuan angrily rushed to the door: "Who is it!"

"My name is Zang Wanchun, and I would like to have a few words with Young Master Jiang." Jiang Yuan took several deep breaths, barely managing to regain some of his acting composure, and said calmly, "So it is Sect Master Zang of Chunshan Pavilion... How did my act of styling a courtesan alarm Sect Master Zang?"

“This pleasure boat belongs to our sect,” Zang Wanchun said with a smile. “It involves a transaction of tens of thousands of spirit stones, so you must be a major customer. I’ve come to meet the buyer and make friends.”

"Then come in and talk."

The door opened, and Zang Wanchun entered carrying a pot of fine wine. He smiled and said, "I heard that Young Master Jiang was very dissatisfied with the fact that they had added something to the wine to enhance the mood. This was because the servants were ignorant and I, Zang, had failed to discipline them properly. I am ashamed and have come to apologize to Young Master Jiang."

Jiang Yuan said with an aloof expression, "No one has ever dared to drug me recklessly before. Your esteemed pleasure boat is the first."

Zang Wanchun poured her a glass of wine and said with a smile, "How about we discount Qianqian's redemption fee as a token of our apology?"

Jiang Yuan's eyes flickered slightly: "How much?"

Zang Wanchun smiled and said, "Let's do it the way Young Master Jiang suggested, 30,000 will do."

Jiang Yuan said, "I'm not happy about it now."

"Why is it like this?" Zang Wanchun laughed. "Could it be that Qianqian didn't serve you comfortably enough?"

Jiang Yuan hesitated, but then said that she really satisfied him.

Zang Wanchun, observing the situation, understood what was going on and smiled, "I sincerely want to be friends with you, young master... If you truly like Qianqian, I would gladly give her away for free."

"Oh?" Jiang Yuan said calmly, "Does Sect Leader Zang mean there's something he needs me to do?"

Lu Xingzhou had to admire her; no wonder they say women are born actresses. Jiang Yuan didn't seem like a little fox who could act, but she could even fool an old fox when she acted.

Zang Wanchun said, "No, it's just that I'm very interested in Penglai in the East Sea. I wonder if you could help me make a connection and visit your sect, young master."

Jiang Yuan swirled her wine glass and said leisurely, "Sect Leader Zang's posture... it feels like he's about to do something big."

"Not at all," Zang Wanchun said with a smile. "When it comes to running a sect, you always need to have a lot of friends."

"If I help make this connection, will Sect Leader Zang give me Qianqian?"

"No joke."

“But Sect Leader Zang, perhaps there’s no need for such trouble.” Jiang Yuan said leisurely, “I came to the mainland originally for the sake of the sect’s plans, to find a reliable ally on the mainland. The sect has entrusted me with all related matters. In other words, if Sect Leader Zang has anything he wants to discuss, he can just discuss it with me.”

Zang Wanchun narrowed his eyes.

Jiang Yuan said, "Perhaps Sect Master Zang didn't see our sect and couldn't make a decision, that's alright. It just so happens that I didn't see anything particularly worthwhile about your sect for an alliance. If it weren't for Qianqian's sake, Chunshan Pavilion wasn't originally my preferred choice."

Lu Xingzhou secretly marveled at this move; by avoiding self-proof, the opponent was attacked instead, without Lu Xingzhou even needing to be taught how.

What kind of education did Jiang Yuan receive? It seems like she has a high level of diplomatic skills... Even princesses aren't raised like this, unless they're destined to succeed someone from the start.

"Oh?" Zang Wanchun was indeed unconvinced: "What does Young Master Jiang think of our Spring Mountain Pavilion?"

“I have investigated and found that your sect has offended the Demon Realm and seems to have some conflict with the Xia King of the Great Qian.” Jiang Yuan smiled sarcastically. “Excuse me for speaking frankly, but no matter how we view the Great Qian and the Demon Realm, your sect and the like will only be listed as risky entities and are not suitable for getting too involved.”

"The matter of the Demon Realm ended after Chen Yu's death. The Demon Emperor did not hold a grudge against our Spring Mountain Pavilion." Zang Wanchun instead began to prove himself: "As for King Xia, it is true that we participated in some actions against King Xia because we were under King Jin's command. But after King Jin fell from power, Marquis Lu disregarded past grievances and took over a lot of King Jin's forces, and did not retaliate against us. What Young Master Jiang knows is just what is rumored on the surface, but in reality, it has no impact whatsoever."

"Who knows if they're holding a grudge and waiting for a chance to strike you down?" Jiang Yuan sneered. "Hoping that others will be magnanimous and not retaliate is not the mindset of a powerful sect leader. Sect Leader Zang can bury his head in his blankets. We don't choose allies like this."

Lu Xingzhou gasped again, secretly giving himself a thumbs up.

So cool.

Zang Wanchun remained silent for a moment before finally saying, "Young Master Jiang, you may not know this, but we naturally have other support. However, since we haven't met your sect, our relationship isn't at the point where we can reveal everything."

"Then forget it." Jiang Yuan raised his glass in a gesture of respect. "You're the one who came looking for me, not the other way around. Please leave. I'll pay for Qianqian tomorrow, and once the transaction is complete, we don't need to be friends anymore."

Zang Wanchun couldn't help but ask, "So, which allies did Young Master Jiang originally intend to find?"

"Hmm... for example, Lingtian Pavilion. I heard it's doing quite well right now? I need to find out more."

"Lingtian Pavilion only received some government resources and had its members fill vacancies in the Demon Suppression Division because Qi Tuizhi had curried favor with Lu Xingzhou. In reality, even Qi Tuizhi himself was just a low-ranking official, and those from Lingtian Pavilion who entered the government were all low-level officials."

"Isn't that a good sign?"

"However, they are dependent on Lu Xingzhou. Lu Xingzhou rose to power too quickly, and the forces he absorbed were those of Prince Jin and the former Huo faction. It wasn't his own foundation, so it was very unstable. The new emperor would not allow someone who sees himself as a puppet to exist... Once Lu Xingzhou falls from power, what good will happen to Lingtian Pavilion?"

Jiang Yuan's expression changed slightly: "Sect Leader Zang, what do you mean by this... towards Lu Xingzhou..."

Zang Wanchun waved his hand: "This is just an objective analysis of Lingtian Pavilion, for Young Master Jiang's reference only, and it is not directed at Lord Lu."

Jiang Yuan squinted at him for a long time before saying, "The Jiang family, who are maritime merchants, have had some trade dealings with us before, and they are even related. Now that the Jiang family has a firm foothold in the capital, they are a very suitable ally. To be honest, their daughter is said to be very beautiful, and I might even be able to arrange a marriage between us."

"Jiang Duxu is indeed unfathomable, but unfortunately the rest of the Jiang family are useless. That young lady first wanted to marry Huo Xingyuan, and then Lu Xingzhou. She's fickle and promiscuous; how could she be worthy of Young Master Jiang?"

Jiang Yuan's face turned a variety of colors.
