Chapter 96: Each a Fish, Each Bait for Another

a strong sense of alarm. He seems to have fallen into some kind of trap. This trap is without a trace; although he can't see where it began or why it was planned, he knows the ultimate goal... but it..."To see you today, young Jiang, makes me feel much younger!"

“It’s a blessing to receive guidance from your grandmother-in-law. Jiang Wang has benefited greatly!”

An elder and a younger person, chatting and laughing, walked out of the Hall of Zhengsheng.

Upon hearing the news, Master Xu Zhilian and Elder Fan Qingqing of the Wuxianmen left Duanxing Hall almost immediately, hurrying to catch up with Bi Zhu Po and Jiang Wang before they walked too far.

"There's still some time left…" Madam Biju passed over the matter of Zhú Bǐ Qióng vaguely, with a kind concern: "Young Master Jiāng, where do you plan to stay Why not return to Huái Island with me Let me show my hospitality as the host."

To be honest, there's still a case involving the Capital Inspection Department on Jiang Wang's record, so he needs to stay on other islands for a while longer and can't go to Huai Island soon.

Jiang Wang is pretty good at lying now, his face doesn't even change.

Although the Golden Needle case has been closed, he said he still had other missions to carry out, and Madam Bi Zhu couldn't verify it.

Bi Zhu Po shook her head: "I understand, I understand. Young people, you should work hard. When you reach my age, even if you want to struggle, you won't have the time or energy."

“That’s what you said. I think your arrival is imminent, within these few years!” Jiang Wang also actively played the role of a polite and gentle junior: “Time and energy are plentiful!”

It seemed as though those words had struck a chord within Old Madam Bi Zhu, causing the wrinkles on her face to soften considerably. "Thank you for your kind words!" she replied with a smile.

If it weren't for the shock of divine manifestation, breaking the lifespan limit, and locking down cultivation, why would she go to such lengths in this struggle

To cultivate peacefully and wholeheartedly seek the Tao, who wouldn't envy such a state

Can we do it without any resources

Can one achieve enlightenment without contention

Even though she knew Jiang Wang was just flattering her, she genuinely liked what he said.

The head of the Five Immortals Sect, Xu Zhilian, and Elder Fan Qingqing arrived at this time.

"It's wonderful to meet you both! I feel like we've known each other for ages!" Xu Zhi Lan began, "I'd like to host a banquet in your honor, and I hope you'll grace us with your presence. This would also be an opportunity for my disciples of the Five Immortals Sect to meet esteemed guests like yourselves and receive some guidance. What do you think"

"No." The old woman Bi Zhu waved her hand dismissively, "There are many things to do at home, so I have to go back now."

She looked at Jiang Wang: "Where is Young Master Jiang"

This was still out of trust for Jiang Wang, fearing he would cause trouble if he stayed in Wu Xian Men. He pressured him to leave.

It seems that the Five Immortals Gate is a piece of fat in someone's bowl, and they are eyeing it closely.

Jiang Wang smiled coldly in his heart, but on the surface he only said calmly: "I also have to leave. After all, I am burdened with important responsibilities and dare not neglect them."

Let me know if you have other text snippets you'd like translated!

Bi Zhu Po chuckled and ignored Xu Zhi Lan and Fan Qing Qing's repeated invitations. She focused on Jiang Wang, her gaze lingering on the jade pendant at his waist: "This jade is quite exquisite."

The white jade pendant hanging from his waist was a New Year's gift bought for him by Jiang Anan.

Jiang Wang lowered his head and smiled lightly, "It's not something valuable. It was a gift from an old friend, and keeping it is a reminder."

Such an ordinary jade amulet would naturally not be seen by cultivators.

But Bi Zhu Po didn't say anything further. She just rummaged in her bosom and took out a piece of sea-blue jade pendant.

With a kind smile, she offered: "Since this is our first meeting, I have no grand gifts to offer. Please accept this jade as a token of my goodwill. It's not particularly valuable, but if you ever find yourself in need, come to the island and seek me out. My words still carry some weight here amongst these islands."

If she wishes to present the gift, she can do so fully in the Zhengsheng Hall.

This is just another warning. A warning to Xu Zhilian and Fan Qingqing.

Here are a few ways to translate the phrase " >"* **Literal Translation:** This depends on what language you're translating from. If it's in English, the translation would be "

".Let me know if you have something else in mind!

Warn them that her relationship with Jiang Wang is already very close, telling these two to extinguish any other thoughts they might have as soon as possible.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Everyone present understood.

Jiang Wang naturally took it with "surprise and delight": "A gift from the elder, I dare not refuse. Thus Jiang Wang will shamelessly accept it."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Xu Zhi Lan and Fan Qing Qing both had ordinary expressions, as if they had never had any other thoughts. They remained unmoved by the scene before them.

"Seeing you reminds me of my poor apprentice... Alas."

Once again, the old woman with jade beads felt a pang of sadness. "Then I'll be going," she said.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

He turned and vanished into thin air.

"This is for you." Wu Xianmen's master, Xu Zhi Lan, hurriedly followed.

Jiang Wang knew that if she didn't leave, Bi Zhu Po wouldn't really fly far, so she also rose into the air, just in a different direction from Bi Zhu Po. "Thank you for your hospitality, I am very grateful. Jiang Wang bids farewell!"

Fan Qingqing followed him: "I'll see Jiang Xiaoxia off."

Bi Zhu Po was going directly east, back to Huai Island.

Jiang Wang shifted southeast to avoid running into her.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Soon, Xia Dao was already disappearing from view. The figures of Bibi Zhu and Xu Zhi Lan were gone even earlier.

"Bidding you farewell a thousand miles, we must part ways eventually. Elder Fan, please return now!" Jiang Wang said.

Fan Qingqing bit her lip, seeming to want to say something, but hesitated.

After all, Bi Zhu Po looked to be getting along too well with Jiang Wang. If she were to make friends with them rashly at this time, she might just end up being sold out.

"Young Master Jiang, please take your leave. When you have time, come visit the Five Immortals Gate more often." In the end, she only bid him farewell in such a polite manner.

“Of course, Elder Fan is kind and approachable, and Xia Island is beautiful. The five halls of your sect are unique. If I have the chance, I would really like to come and listen again.” Jiang Wang smiled and threw out a bait: “Bring my friends along. Jiang Wuyu and Chong Xuan Sheng should all like this place!”

This line of text is a fragment.

Fan Qingqing clearly hadn't expected that, in this situation, with Elder Bi Zhu of the Diao Hai Lou personally intervening to establish contact, Jiang Wang would still have ulterior motives.

His eyes lit up instantly, and his smile became much more genuine: "At that time, my sect will definitely entertain you well! I will definitely not disappoint Brother Jiang!"

"Farewell for now, until we meet again."

Jiang Wang smiled and then flew away.

Less is more.

Fan Qingqing invited him back to the Wuxianmen base, but she didn't harbor any good intentions. But that didn't prevent him from receiving benefits from Zhengsheng Hall and finding new clues from Bi Zhu Po.

He is willing to help the Five Immortals Gate get rid of Madam Bi Zhu, but only out of a shared enemy. However, the Five Immortals Gate still needs to offer enough valuable compensation in exchange.

Here is the text translation:

The bait has been laid, what remains is to see what the Five Immortals Gate is willing to pay for it.

Life is not always eventful; most of the time it's uneventful.

Jiang Wang's ultimate goal was Hai Dao. But along the way, he also tried his best to feel the atmosphere of the nearby islands.

Perhaps because of the exposure of my identity on Xia Dao, the following part of the journey was noticeably less troublesome. Correspondingly, there were also fewer opportunities to learn more about the nearby islands.

However, Jiang Wang didn't mind it.

Every day is a practice, a journey, doing what appears to be investigation work but is actually information gathering.

Thus, island after island was passed, and finally, on March eleventh, they arrived at Xiaoyueya Island.This doesn't even require thought.”Zuo Guang's handsome brows furrowed: "So that Zhu Jiuyin bullying the gods and Wei Nan being rebellious were all lies""I don't know, and I don't want to know.
