Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 255 is just because I don't like him.

Jiang Jinyue sat in the carriage, the carriage swaying gently, and she swayed slightly along with it.

The wind in the wilderness blew through her hair, making it even more disheveled since she hadn't had time to style it in the past few days, and causing the hem of her clothes to flutter in the wind.

She kept looking at the sky, her eyes slightly dazed.

Little Ginseng peeked its head out from Lin Jiang's sleeve. It was overjoyed to see Jiang Jinyue. It climbed down Lin Jiang's clothes, took a few steps on the small wooden board, and then nimbly climbed up Jiang Jinyue's clothes.

She eventually climbed onto Jiang Jinyue's head and happily swayed gently with her.

The happiest person on this trip was probably Xiaoshan Shen.

Although she could taste all sorts of novel delicacies and read all sorts of interesting stories in the capital, she ultimately preferred to be adventurous outside.

Especially the adventure of not being abandoned by that bad guy.

Feeling the little guy above her head, Jiang Jinyue finally came to her senses belatedly.

She reached out and grabbed the little ginseng from above her head, gently stroking her little head with her fingertips.

Although Li Guang was nowhere to be seen along the way, Jiang Jinyue could still sense a faint, almost imperceptible gaze.

It was as if someone was quietly watching her from somewhere.

After touching it with her fingers for a while, it was clear that Xiaoshanshen had an expression of enjoyment on her face, and she also smiled and touched Jiang Jinyue.

Looking at the little guy, Jiang Jinyue's worry slowly dissipated.

She composed herself and looked at Lin Jiang.

"Son."

"Ah."

"After walking a little further, I will walk on my own."

"Why?" Lin Jiang asked, puzzled.

“Bringing me along will only cause a lot of trouble,” Jiang Jinyue said softly, her tone slightly somber. “Lord Li will probably come after us, and after a while, people from the capital will also come looking for us.”

Jiang Jinyue is right. Given the situation in the capital, Lin Jiang does not believe that those people will let this go easily.

only……

"If you travel alone, where will you go?"

"I……"

Jiang Jinyue wasn't quite sure.

She does have several friends from all over the country in Daxing, and if she really has nowhere to go, she can ask them for help.

However, they too may still be pursued by Li Guang and the group from the capital.

Although it spared Lin Jiang trouble, it ultimately affected others.

"Then you should stay here with me," Lin Jiang said. "Besides, if you leave me, I'm afraid that Lord Li will show up and arrest you within half a day."

The river reflects the moon in silence.

This is indeed a difficult problem.

If she were to leave Lin Jiang's side, Li Guang would likely appear and abduct her in no time.

Unfortunately, Jiang Jinyue was completely powerless to resist.

She was far inferior to Li Xingguang in strength; she couldn't even struggle against her adoptive mother, let alone resist her.

Staying by Lin Jiang's side at least gives him the ability to deal with Li Guang.

"But... even so, I can't be a burden to you..."

"That's too formal. What do you mean by being a burden?" Lin Jiang shook his head. "I helped you in the capital just now because of a favor. Now I'm short-handed when I go to Qingniwa to build a village. I won't let you leave."

Listening to the rumbling of the wheels, Jiang Jinyue remained silent for a moment, then finally whispered:

"Alright, then I'll be bothering you for a few more days."

Lin Jiang nodded with a smile.

The carriage continued its journey, swaying and rocking, without incident along the way.

Lin Jiang figured that he hadn't caught up with Li Guang, and his heart gradually calmed down.

……

Li Ziguang stood atop the high slope, his face as still as water, looking down at the slowly departing convoy below.

She stretched out her palm and flipped it back and forth a few times. Several seeds of different colors flowed out from between her fingers and rolled off her knuckles.

After pondering for a long time, he ultimately decided not to throw the seed in his palm.

This is Boss Guo's motorcade, mostly staffed by his men. Boss Guo will send someone to deal with anyone in the motorcade who is harmed.

If the outer hall fails, then the inner hall will be sent. If the inner hall is no match, then the Sixth Heaven will be summoned. If the Sixth Heaven also fails, then Boss Guo will personally come.

Even if one has built a business empire, this foundation is not a gift from others.

That was the empire that Boss Guo built with just an iron scale.

If she really acts recklessly and overturns the entire caravan, Boss Guo will definitely seek revenge on her one day.

not to mention……

While she stayed in the capital, she naturally investigated a lot about Lin Jiang and learned that he and Jiang Jinyue were sworn brothers.

They are far superior to the civil officials in the capital.

But being away from home just leaves me feeling incredibly unhappy.

Lin Jiang's face flashed into her mind, igniting a nameless rage within her.

Li Guang could tell that his adopted daughter was still focused on cultivation, just like before, and still possessed that same pure and beautiful martial spirit. Under normal circumstances, she would devote herself wholeheartedly to martial arts and would not have any thoughts about worldly love and romance.

But, but.

Jiang Jinyue was not an ignorant block of wood. Lin Jiangsheng had a captivating appearance and considerable cultivation. If she were to repeatedly protect him with all her might... Li Guang could hardly imagine what would happen if her carefully raised daughter were to fall in love.

or……

Just imagine it for a moment?
Centrifugal light conjured up this scene in my mind.

She flicked her wrist slightly, and her palm clenched tightly.

A few seeds crumbled in my palm.

No, she still couldn't take it.

Once Boss Guo's convoy has gone far away, we must find out where Lin Jiang and his group went, and then find a way to bring Jiang Jinyue back.

She reached into her bosom and pulled out a perfectly round seed, casually tossing it to the ground. In an instant, the seed disappeared into the soil.

The ground trembled slightly, and thick, green roots broke through the soil, winding and climbing until they reached the height of a person in no time.

The top of the stem swells and produces a tuft of fluffy down, transforming into a fluffy cloud.

This is a dandelion that is as tall as a person.

"What will Lin Jiang do? What will Lin Jiang do?" Li Xingguang whispered to the dandelion. The fluffy seed head swayed gently in the wind, and from within came childlike laughter, a clear and crisp response:
"What is Lin Jiang going to do? What is Lin Jiang going to do?"

Centrifugal light gently breathes on the fluff ball.

The cloud suddenly burst open, and countless fine wisps of cloud drifted away.

In an instant, a gust of wind swept up the catkins, and the children's voices carried on the wind, drifting further and further away.

……

Inside the teahouse, the once bustling crowd fell into an unusual silence.

This place, serving as a liaison point for the General's Mansion in the south, has taken shape after half a year of development. Many members in the south gather here in their spare time, either to exchange intelligence or to seek help from others who are unable to complete the bounty orders issued by the General's Mansion on their own.

However, recently, news that the Imperial Advisor intended to summon the Grand General back to the capital has reached everyone's ears.

The general's power base in the capital was originally deep, but it was shaken by the Grand Preceptor's actions.

Apart from a few who were truly unable to leave, a considerable number of members have already left the capital. Those who set off earlier have already arrived at the teahouse and told their colleagues about their experiences in detail.

That's why the teahouse was filled with such a somber atmosphere.

"Why did the Imperial Advisor suddenly target the general?"

Beside the table, a somewhat young-looking man from the martial arts world sullenly put down his teacup, sighed deeply, and muttered to himself, "Didn't the Imperial Advisor claim to always remain neutral? Isn't this action a blatant act of taking sides?"

"It is said to be because of the adjutants under the general."

"What happened to the lieutenant generals?"

"It is said that they used some forbidden methods to forcibly elevate their own cultivation level..."

"So what?!" The young man slammed his hand on the table. "Seeking cultivation on the path of cultivation is a matter of course! Didn't the Imperial Preceptor cultivate in the same way back then? Now that he has ascended to the Ninth Heaven, does that mean he forbids others from cultivating?"

His voice was booming, drawing the attention of everyone around him.

Just as the young man was about to speak again, a steady hand suddenly landed on his shoulder, bringing a bit of strength.

Looking to the side,

But then a figure wearing a donkey's head stood behind them.

The drooping donkey head hood stared straight at him with its empty eye sockets.

The young man fell silent instantly.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across his face.

Everyone in the teahouse recognized the donkey's head.

He is the administrator of this area and a highly accomplished senior in the General's Mansion. He is usually kind and gentle to others.

Whenever you encounter a difficult problem and seek his help, he can always point you in the right direction.

He was extremely diligent in fulfilling his duties.

Almost no one saw him step out of the teahouse.

Even though many people felt uncomfortable with his bizarre headgear, they had no choice but to endure it in silence because he was a superior.

"There is no need to discuss this matter further."

Although the young man couldn't see the expression under the hood, he inexplicably felt a chill creep into his body.

He hurriedly nodded and shut his mouth.

The donkey's head slowly surveyed its surroundings:
"Gentlemen, it is inevitable that you will be unsettled by the sudden change. However, the general never fights a battle unprepared. I hope you will all calm down."

Upon hearing this, the tea drinkers raised their cups in response.

The storm has temporarily subsided.

Donkey Head adjusted his hood and then headed towards the second floor of the teahouse.

Pushing open the door, one sees only simple furnishings: a bed, a table, and writing implements.

There's nothing else.

He pushed open the window, and the night breeze carried the soft laughter of children.

Raise your hand and reach into the wind; as you close your fingers, you will find a cluster of dandelion fluff balls the size of your palm.

The pom-pom wobbled as it rose from my palm, bouncing gently as if dancing.

What does Lin Jiang want to do?

The dandelion sings.

Donkey Head twirled the dandelion in his hand.

Why did Li Xingguang bring up Lin Jiang's matter?
