Chapter 768: Gift From Feng Hua

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Hao didn’t understand Heavenly King Hai Luo’s emotions.

He also couldn’t guess what kind of changes these emotions could bring about.

But he knew that having too many feelings would entangle a person.

That was not what he hoped for.

He tried to avoid people as much as possible and not get involved in too many relationships.

It was both for his defense and to protect others.

He could provoke many people if he lived like that.

The closer the relationship, the easier it was to attract attention.

At that time, his limit would be tested.

He didn’t want such a thing to happen. No matter what he chose, it wouldn’t be a good thing.

Perhaps Heavenly King Hai Luo would benefit from his emotions, but how many people in this world were lucky enough to have that?

When Jiang Hao left the Lawless Tower, he saw Senior Sister Yinsha on the way.

He asked her about Mi Lingyue.

“Her? She said she came for refuge. She also promised that she would help us with some forging tasks and teach some disciples. If they truly succeed in learning, then there’s a chance the sect will reopen the forging branch. Elder Baizhi would naturally agree to such a good thing.” That was what Jiang Hao heard.

Unexpectedly, Mi Lingyue didn’t spend a single penny.

However, her value far exceeded that of spirit stones.

No one would refuse such a person.

Both sides got what they needed.

It was Hai Ming.

This surprised Jiang Hao a bit. He hadn’t visited for a long time.

Previously, because of the matter with the fish people, he had come to find him to unearth some clues.

Later, when the Ancestral Dragon Heart had appeared, he hadn’t visited.

Why was he here suddenly?

“Senior Hai Ming.” Jiang Hao bowed in greeting.

“Been such a long time.” Hai Ming smiled.

“I assume you have been engaged in far more important matters of the sect, Senior,” said Jiang Hao.

“Shall we go inside and talk?” Hai Ming gestured toward Jiang Hao’s courtyard.

Jiang Hao was somewhat concerned, but he nodded. “Please, do come in.”

If Hai Ming was himself, there would be no problem. But Jiang Hao knew that he was one of the avatars of Feng Hua.

Whatever Hai Ming saw, Feng Hua would get wind of it.

The sudden visit might be because they discovered something.

Jiang Hao couldn’t be certain what it was, but it probably wasn’t related to Smiling San Sheng.

Most likely, it was about the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

Feng Hua was not easy to deal with. He had known that from the beginning. So, after giving her some gifts, he didn’t bother with her.

Provoking someone frequently always brought trouble.

Hai Ming looked around the courtyard and exclaimed, “This place is really nice!”

“I was lucky to find a good location, that’s all,” said Jiang Hao modestly.

“Unfortunately, I’m not from the Cliff of Broken Hearts. Otherwise, I’d definitely build a house next to yours.” Hai Ming chuckled.

At this, Jiang Hao frowned.

What did he mean?

Their interaction had always been friendly and normal before. But today, it seemed as though there was an underlying threat in his words.

It didn’t sound like something a senior would say.

How could he bring up building a house next to someone so casually? It would obviously arouse suspicion.

The previous Hai Ming definitely wasn’t like this.

Jiang Hao looked at the person before but didn’t sense anything unusual.

He could only smile. “If that were the case, I would truly be honored to have you as a neighbor.”

Hai Ming sat down. “Do you have any tea?”

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded and brewed some ordinary tea leaves.

“I heard you frequently encounter opportunities whenever you go out?” Hai Ming sipped his tea.

Jiang Hao lowered his head and said, “Occasionally, I do encounter some opportunities.”

“Hmm?” Hai Ming smiled meaningfully and said, “Could someone be secretly helping you?”

Jiang Hao looked at him and said, “Senior, you must be joking. Who would ever help me?”

“Hahaha…” Hai Ming laughed. “I’m just kidding. By the way, do you want a gift from me?”

Jiang Hao felt like he had already had this conversation before… as Smiling San Sheng.

“Senior, you want to give me a gift?” he asked in polite puzzlement.

If he had known Hai Ming would come for a visit, he would have saved the appraisal ability instead of using it at the Lawless Tower.

“Yes. Do you want to guess what it is?” Hai Ming smiled.

Jiang Hao lowered his head. “Is it something you need me to do, Senior?”

“Not really. I just want to see your surprise when you receive the gift.” Hai Ming smiled.

Jiang Hao looked at him and sensed that he was up to no good.

“Thank you very much, Senior, but I still hope you would let me do something in return for you.”

“Let me give you the gift first.”

Hai Ming took out a letter and handed it to Jiang Hao. “Open and take a look.”

Jiang Hao slowly opened the envelope and read the words written there:

“Please say “hello” to Smiling San Sheng for me.”

Jiang Hao’s face didn’t change, but a storm surged in his heart.

What did this mean?

Did Hai Ming think he had Smiling San Sheng backing him, or did he believe he was Smiling San Sheng?

Jiang Hao panicked.

He didn’t know how Feng Hua had noticed it and linked Smiling San Sheng to him.

“Do you like the gift?” Hai Ming asked.

Jiang Hao shook his head but didn’t speak.

Feng Hua might just be speculating.

However, he had already attracted her attention, which was somewhat unexpected.

“I heard you have a younger sister?” Hai Ming placed his teacup down. “Seems like she loves food. I gave her a box of pastries. She smiled and thanked me.

She’s truly adorable, don’t you think?”

“What do you mean, Senior?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Nothing. I just wanted to give something… to someone, but they refused. So, I brought you something instead.” Hai Ming chuckled and stood up. “I won’t stay long. I’ll come again for a discussion with you, Junior Brother.”

Jiang Hao watched him walk away.

As he left the courtyard, Hai Ming turned back. “Young friend, you should take care of your sister, or one day she might disappear. Then, it’ll be your fault for not looking after her properly.”

After that, Hai Ming rode his sword and left.

Jiang Hao watched him leave without saying a word.

He was silent as he watched Hai Ming speed away. Then, he looked around the courtyard.

He looked at the peach tree and sighed heavily.

Jiang Hao had intended to set aside the matter with Feng Hua for a while. But he hadn’t expected the other party to come knocking on his door with ill intentions.

‘Did she really find it out, or was she only guessing?’

It was quite challenging to find out anything about Smiling San Sheng unless someone at the gathering had learned about it and leaked the information.

Only then would it be possible for someone to come looking for him.

However, everyone at the gathering knew about the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl on him so no one could have revealed such important information.

Once the pearl erupted, no one could escape.

Therefore, it wouldn’t have been anyone from the gathering.

Jiang Hao sighed. He was unable to find a reason.

The situation had somewhat gotten out of control, and Feng Hua’s main body couldn’t be found yet.

She could take action against him at any time while hiding in the shadows.

In an instant, she returned to the darkness while Jiang Hao remained exposed to the light..
