Chapter 119 Jiangcheng 48 Writing a Letter
Since yesterday, Jiangcheng has appeared calm on the surface, but rumors about the Zhao family have begun to circulate privately. The Zhao family's power has grown too rapidly over the past decade or so, making many other powerful families envious.
However, the truth behind the Zhao family's ancestors and their connection to the Jiang family was something no one would openly mention when the Zhao family was in power.
Zhao Wenbai has not appeared since the day he failed to assassinate Wen Li.
After returning from Peach Blossom Village and playing a trick on the Zhao family, Wen Li was in high spirits.
She had Si Xiaxia find some information about Jiang Jingshan's death overnight.
Wen Li was currently engrossed in a pile of messy documents, and showed no sign of looking up for several hours.
Second Master was sniffing around and poking at a pile of messy documents, looking like he was earnestly trying to help.
Wow! Wow! That's amazing!
After a long silence, Wen Li suddenly spoke up, staring at the books filling the room while letting out a sigh.
Si Xiaxia had been dozing off for a while, but was immediately woken up by the noise.
Si Xiaxia was pleasantly surprised: "What's wrong, host? What did you discover?"
Wen Li looked up from the pile of documents and started cursing at them.
"Found your head! I've been looking for ages and it's all information I already knew. And 99% of that document is nonsense!"
Wen Li casually picked up a book and said, "Look at this. The humans in this novel's world are all human, just like the humans in this world. What nonsense about the people in this novel having special bodies and possessing spiritual roots that allow them to cultivate into immortals? And this spiritual energy entering the body can both harm and heal. What utter rubbish! Are all the people in your bureau useless too?"
Upon hearing this, Si Xiaxia hurriedly retorted, "That's not nonsense. It's something that each of our systems painstakingly collected. Perhaps most of the knowledge recorded in it is just common sense to you, but to us, it's something novel that people in our world don't know. Besides, you're not completely ignorant of our world."
"I can't be bothered to understand your world."
A huge pile of documents lay in front of her, and Wen Li felt sleepy just looking at them; she was simply not cut out for studying.
"Wang! Wang!"
Second Master noticed that Wen Li was in a bad mood, so he nudged her with his head, wagged his tail in a fawning manner, and had a book in his mouth.
"Thank you, Second Master, for keeping me company for so long. But you're really no help. Go out and have some fun."
As he spoke, he took the scroll from Second Master's mouth and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Jiang Jingshan's name inside.
Wen Li picked up the book and began to read it carefully.
Jiang Jingshan, the head of the Jiang family, along with his eldest son and a hundred disciples of the Jiang family who have Jiang family blood, went to Ghost Valley to kill demons and monsters and try to strengthen the seal of Ghost Valley.
The seal failed, and apart from the patriarch who died at the hands of the demon Jiuying, the rest fled back to the capital overnight.
Only one person died, and that was the most powerful one. The objective was clear.
Jiang Yanyu was there, and Shen Yi was there too.
Does the novel explicitly state when Shen Yi and Jiu Ying started their relationship? I don't think so.
"Wang Wang Wang!"
Wen Li snapped out of her daze and grabbed a handful of Second Master's dog hair.
"Ah, Second Master, you truly live up to your reputation! You're far more capable than this broken system!"
"Host, how could you compare me to a dog! I took a huge risk to find this information for you, okay?"
"Comparing you to my second master is an overstatement. Don't be ungrateful."
"Wang Wang Wang!"
Wen Li held the Second Master in her arms and stroked him for a while, then transformed into paper and pen from her spatial dimension and began to write a letter.
Just as Si Xiaxia was wondering who she could write to with such a bad temper, she saw the name "A Nan".
Si Xiaxia saw Wen Li write that she was investigating Jiang Jingshan's death and even directly said that she now suspected his father, Shen Yi! She asked him to help investigate whether Shen Yi was related to Jiang Jingshan's death, as well as the connection between Shen Yi and Jiu Ying.
Wen Li was very satisfied after writing it; it was short, concise, and clear.
Si Xiaxia's eyes widened! So direct.
"Hey! Host, you... you're just going to write a letter like that? That's his father! Do you think he'll help you? And if there really is some kind of relationship, wouldn't he have to keep it a secret?"
Wen Li put the envelope away with satisfaction, in a very good mood.
“He will agree. I know that bastard Shen Yannan well; he’s the most heartless and treacherous person I’ve ever met. Besides, in the book, he and his father have already colluded with demons. I suspect that Shen Yi may have been involved with Jiuying as early as twenty years ago. Let Anan investigate. By the way, take some time to look at the information left by your system predecessors; you might find something.”
Si Xiaxia casually replied, "Okay, okay."
Upon hearing Wen Li mention Shen Yannan, Si Xiaxia's thoughts immediately drifted elsewhere.
This isn't the couple she wants to ship anymore; she's shipping someone else now, and she can't let this villain ruin her ship.
After carefully tucking the letter into her pocket, Wen Li picked up the Second Master again, her usual unruly demeanor returning.
"Let's go mail the letter."
The second master was held in someone's arms, his eyes closed; he looked like he was about to fall asleep.
But once she put it down, the second master would have to chase after her with his eyes wide open, looking miserable.
On the way, Si Xiaxia couldn't help but ask, "Host, our protagonist's corruption level is so high, aren't you going to do anything about it?"
"Why should we care? He seems to be in pretty stable condition right now."
"But you can't just ignore him! Besides, he likes you, don't you have any plans?"
Wen Li sealed the letter before sending it out. She tiptoed and carefully carried the Second Master out of the post station.
"What are your plans? To drop everything and be with him, to have a romantic relationship? Or to say a few sweet words to deceive him, and then stage another tragic love story between a human and a god?"
"So you have absolutely no feelings for him? You...you don't like him?"
Si Xiaxia looked at Wen Li's expression and spoke softer and softer. "Host looks really fierce when she's not smiling."
"My mission is to protect him, to do everything I can to get his life back on track, and to make him a god revered by all. Is there anything else?"
Undeterred, Si Xiaxia pressed on, "Host, what kind of existence is our protagonist in your heart?"
Wen Li kept a straight face and didn't answer. Si Xiaxia didn't dare to make a fool of herself and could only silently mute her microphone.
Wen Li walked slowly without looking at the road, only watching the Second Master in her arms, worried that he was not sleeping comfortably.
*
As soon as Wen Li entered the mansion, she was invited into the main hall by the guards. It was said that Aunt Song wanted to leave, and Zhao Sicheng was trying to persuade her to stay.
“I’ll be frank with what I have to say. I think we need to leave quickly. I don’t know which monster that person was yesterday. He had no demonic aura, appeared and disappeared without a trace, and he was in the Zhao residence with so many demon hunters. He didn’t seem like an easy opponent. If you don’t leave now, Aunt Song will have to run first. I’ve lived this long and I don’t want to leave my life here.”
