While writing a diary at Zongwu, Wang Yuyan falls in love with someone else.

"What do you think of Xu Yang and the former Witch Master, Grandpa?"

"Xu Yanghe and the former... Xu Xu Xu Yanghe, the former Witch Lord?!"

Ba Shao was stunned when he realized what was happening.

After standing there for a moment, the white-haired old man lost his composure and immediately became flustered.

He strode forward, grabbed Jiang Sishui's shoulders with both hands, and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "You...you know the whereabouts of Xu Yang and the former Witch Lord?"

Jiang Sishui knew that Ba Shao meant no harm, so she didn't push him away and nodded.

Upon receiving a positive reply, Ba Shao's old face beamed with joy, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

238. The pragmatic Ba Shao, later awakened.

Why do rain-loving people need a simplified version of the post-simplification?

It was after the former Witch Lord disappeared while chasing Xu Yang that the Rain Clan fell into a leaderless predicament.

If the former sorcerer can be found now, then the successor will no longer be the only or necessary one.

Of course, this is not to say that the later simplification is unimportant.

With the immense power of a witch lord, she is an undeniable presence wherever she goes.

However, compared to her predecessor, she was indeed inferior.

Besides, there's also Xu Yang!

This is an unparalleled genius of the Rain Clan. If he can return to the Ice Domain, all the difficulties of the Rain Clan will be easily resolved.

Overwhelmed by the immense surprise, even the composed Ba Shao couldn't help but lose his composure.

After laughing twice, he quickly asked, "Where are they now?"

Jiang Sishui didn't keep him in suspense and told him about how the two of them had been ambushed and imprisoned years ago.

Ba Shao's expression changed upon hearing this: "Imprisoning the Witch Lord and Xu Yang, who is this Azure Dragon Order Master, that he has such ability?"

Although the Azure Dragon Society is very famous, people in the martial arts world usually talk about it in private and dare not discuss it in public, for fear of breaking a taboo and being targeted by the Azure Dragon Society.

The Rain Clan is a reclusive clan that "doesn't hear about what's happening outside." Before Xu Yang and Wu Zhou escaped from the Ice Domain, they hadn't communicated with the outside world for many years.

Therefore, although Ba Shao had lived to a ripe old age, he was completely unfamiliar with the Azure Dragon Society.

Immediately afterward, Ba Shao frowned, looked at Jiang Sishui, and asked, "Are you confident you can rescue them?"

He didn't know how the Azure Dragon Commander had trapped the Witch Lord and Xu Yang, but even the two top experts of the Rain Clan were helpless. Could this young man have a way?

Ba Shao had deep doubts.

Jiang Sishui nodded calmly: "Ninety percent certain."

Seeing that Ba Shao was still skeptical, Jiang Sishui didn't explain. She turned around, went to the women, said a few words to them, and then used "Imperial Ambition" to send them back.

Both Ba Shao and Kurokawa were shocked to see the women teleport away.

This kid knows witchcraft?

wrong!

The two, realizing what was happening, turned their gaze to the map in Jiang Sishui's hand.

However, before they could figure it out, the "Imperial Empire Map" vanished into thin air.

Ba Shao and Kurokawa exchanged glances, both thinking at the same time, "This kid's background is definitely extraordinary!"

This was the first time they had ever seen such miraculous abilities from someone outside the Rain Clan.

After seeing the women off, Jiang Sishui returned and said, "Grandpa should have some faith in me now, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ba Shao instantly understood the other party's intention.

He nodded and said, "Since leaving the Ice Domain, you are the most special person I have ever met."

Kurokawa, who was standing to the side, also fell silent.

Born into the Rain Clan, he always felt a sense of superiority when facing outsiders after coming to the outside world.

During the day, he mocked Xiao Wu for being ignorant, but in reality, he looked down on him.

But now, facing this mysterious young man, he can no longer feel superior.

Ba Shao's gaze shifted to the divine sword beside Hou Jian, and he said, "The divine sword is here. May I ask if you have seen the sword attendant, young brother?"

Jiang Sishui hesitated for a moment, then truthfully replied, "I killed him."

Jiang Sishui had considered lying, but as long as Jian Tong lived, the divine sword of freedom would never leave him.

Ba Shao couldn't possibly be unaware of this.

If I were to lie at this point, it would be a complete joke.

"You killed Ma Feng?" Ba Shao's face darkened.

Before escaping the icy region, Ma Feng was raised by Ba Shao. Although they had been separated for many years, some affection remained between them.

Jiang Sishui knew all this, and immediately told him the whole truth without hiding anything.

Finally, he added, "I hope you won't tell Houjian about this."

The two were both shocked and frightened.

Kurokawa cursed loudly, "That bastard! How could he treat Houjian like that! He didn't care about the safety of the Rain Clan at all! Good riddance! He deserved to die!"

A trace of sadness appeared on Ba Shao's face: "I never thought he would become like this after leaving the Ice Domain. As for Jian... well, it's better to forget her."

With a helpless sigh, he said to Jiang Sishui, "We will keep this a secret. Thank you for your help, young brother."

Jiang Sishui, however, did not take credit: "I did it for myself too."

Seeing his frank and straightforward manner, Ba Shao couldn't help but smile.

At this moment, Jiang Sishui said again, "Gentlemen, if you have something to attend to, you can go ahead first. We will meet here in three days, and then we can go see the former Witch Lord and Xu Yang together, how about that?"

"What's wrong?" Kurokawa paused, then instinctively shook his head. "What's wrong with us? We didn't..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ba Shao interrupted him: "Alright, then let's meet here in three days."

After saying that, he gave Hou Jian one last look, then turned and left.

Kurokawa was still confused, but he could only follow along.

Only Jiang Sishui and Hou Jian remained at the scene.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Jiang Sishui murmured, "Rain Clan, I won't let you suffer either. This is a win-win situation."

In fact, he wasn't entirely sure if he could abduct Hou Jian.

Although the advancement of the Witch Lord would mean forgetting all past events, when watching the drama, Hou Jian did not forget her identity and even remembered Ba Shao and Hei Chuan.

From beginning to end, she only forgot one thing: Ma Feng.

This is clearly a plot hole.

Even the witchcraft within her body was affected by drinking "dragon's saliva tea," and she didn't forget Ma Feng completely.

Now that Jiang Sishui has used "purification techniques" to neutralize the "dragon's saliva power," there's no reason why Hou Jian would remember Ma Feng anymore.

Jiang Sishui wasn't sure if she would remember her identity and companions after she regained consciousness.

With the situation spiraling out of control, he didn't want to leave the two of them there, adding unnecessary complications (good money, good).

Ba Shao was a shrewd old man who guessed some of his thoughts, so he wisely left.

Now, Jiang Sishui is the only one here. When Hou Jian opens her eyes, he will be the first person she sees, and she will probably feel closer to him.

That would save a lot of trouble.

With no one around, Jiang Sishui waited while continuing to study the sacred text.

Time passed by, bit by bit...

Before we knew it, the sky was getting brighter and brighter.

Finally, the first rays of morning sunlight leaped over the distant mountaintops and shone on Hou Jian.

The blue glow surrounding the body began to recede and dissipate, while the body slowly began to fall.

Her feet touched the ground, her eyelids fluttered, and she finally slowly opened them to eat.

At first glance, she saw Jiang Sishui, whose blue pupils still held a sense of confusion, now tinged with bewilderment.

"who are you?"

The girl's voice was cold and emotionless.

239 A blank slate of the mind, subdued and simplified.

Jiang Sishui had been observing her all along, and when she noticed Jian's blank look, she couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

He remained outwardly calm and asked in return, "Do you remember who you are?"

"Me?" Hou Jian looked slightly surprised, then thought for a moment and said, "I am Hou Jian."

"Anything else?" Jiang Sishui pressed.

"Is there...is there anything else? What else?" Jian was even more confused.
