Chapter 114: Fantasy
uld be equivalent to killing a true immortal of the human race.To die at the hands of such a prodigious talent is not shameful. Blood King has no reason to resent it. And he, White Elephant King, has..."If you were Jiang Wang, how would you break the deadlock"
In the bamboo house, Granny Jade Bead was feeding fish with small pieces of meat, talking to herself.
Unless a large army from the State of Qi came to attack, it would be impossible to successfully break into the prison and rescue the prisoner. He had witnessed the level of security at Haiyu Prison and knew it wouldn't be a wise move to try anything foolish.
A bloody piece of meat plummeted into the fish tank, and it was devoured instantly, not even a trace of blood remained.
“So he actually had no choice but to try and rely on the powerful figures within the Fishing Tower, that is, me. He's trying to leverage me to change the rules of the Sea Festival. That’s why he keeps contacting me again and again.”
“In Qi, he was just a small feudal lord, his fiefdom no more than a town, with nothing much to offer. But his friendship with Chong Xuan's Chong Xuan Sheng was a matter of life and death. How many resources could Chong Xuan Sheng mobilize Would the Chong Xuan family be willing to pay such a high price for this matter That is the key to the problem.”

Bi Zhu Po continued, "But this boy's attitude is also very clear. He is willing to save Bi Qiong regardless of the resources. But if it really can't be saved, he only hopes that Bi Qiong's last journey will be comfortable. This attitude presupposes that he knows that this matter is almost impossible to accomplish. So I should give him some hope."
The withered fingers tore at the raw flesh slowly, and the blood naturally stained his palms red.
But she didn't care.
“Amongst worldly affairs, the word ‘emotion’ is the most difficult to unravel. Young people, however, often fail to understand this and frequently find themselves deeply entangled in it. He must have fallen in love with Biqiong, which is why he acts so selflessly. As long as I give him a glimmer of hope, he will strive to make things happen.”
"Bi Zhu Po said, and directly from the bamboo basket beside her, took out a piece of meat as big as two adult fists, threw it into the water.
"
“Actually, maybe his greatest value is himself. After all, even Hai Zongming was very greedy for him.” She continued.
At the bottom of the enormous fish tank, a five-colored fish suddenly darted out from among the lush aquatic plants.
Red, black, yellow, green, and blue, five colors of stripes tightly pressed together, like a gorgeous outer garment wrapped around it.
Its body is not over three fingers long and two fingers wide. It looks harmless.
But as soon as it emerged, the school of fish that had just been huddled together scattered instantly, fleeing for their lives.
It did not pursue, merely picking up the piece of meat that had fallen into the water and began to chew.
It was very small in size, but it ate incredibly fast. It bit and chewed incessantly, swallowing a piece of meat much larger than itself in less than three breaths.
The Jade Pearl Grandmother dipped her hand into the water, and the five-colored fish swam up, slowly sucking on her fingers, draining them of their blood.
While Bi Zhu Po only sighed, "What a good child."
It is unknown whether it refers to this five-colored fish or the bamboo green jade.
The Illusory Realm of Infinity, within the Star River Pavilion.
Zhong Xuan gently rubbed his temples: "She's still using the same excuse"
"Indeed." Jiang Wang sighed.
During this period, he kept in frequent contact with Chongxuan Sheng through letters. Occasionally, when letters weren't enough to make things clear, he would expend his energy meeting at the Star River Pavilion.
Soon after they arrived at the prison, Granny Biju proposed a plan to rescue Zhū Bì Qióng.
She stated that she would propose a petition for forgiveness at the Sea Festival. However, her alone voice wouldn't be enough to sway the Sea Festival. Therefore, she needed others to respond.
Bi Zhu Po herself would mobilize her network to ask allies for help, and she also asked Jiang Wang's side to do their best. The first thing to tackle was to persuade Hai Jingping, the elder of Diaohai Lou.
This year's Heavenly Terrace Sea Worship is ostensibly presided over by the First Elder of Di Hai Lou, Chong Guang Zhen Ren.
But in fact, the specific details of the sea rituals were handled by four elders with real power: one middle-ranking elder and three lower-ranking elders.
Haijingping was the only middle-aged elder among them, and he was a powerful divine being.

“Interesting.” Zhong Xuan had become quite knowledgeable about the situation in the nearby islands during this time, so he asked, “Do you remember the disciple of the Diaohai Lou who used to argue with Xu Gaofeng for the same thing”
“Of course, this just happened in the past few days” Jiang Wang said: “His name is Yang Liu, a bit too much on the makeup. At present, he seems to be a good person.”
“Yang Liu’s master is none other than Hai Jingping!” Chong Xuan Sheng said.

“Wait a moment.” Jiang Wang frowned: “This Hai Jingping, is he related to Hai Zongming”
"It's just the same surname, no real connection. That old woman wouldn't dig such an obvious hole even if she wanted to bury you. But..."
Chongxuan Sheng said: "This shows that she knows your whereabouts very well and is aware of your interactions with Yang Liu. She also probably guessed that my Chongxuan family has strong intelligence capabilities at sea."
He said with a hint of self-deprecation, "I haven't overrated it."
Because of the relationships between figures like Heijing Ping, Yang Liu, and even Haizongming, this kind of information was not difficult for any maritime power to detect. Undying Island was no exception. However, the more secretive messages within Diao Hailing were beyond the reach of the Zhenxuan family.
"I wasn't being very secretive anyway," Jiang Wang said.
“It’s fortunate that you brought Jiang Wuyou.” Zhong Xuansheng said slowly, “I spoke with the Palace Master of Huaying Palace and received news from her. This time at the Sea Festival, Bi Zhu Po also had the opportunity to be in charge of the specific arrangements, but she refused herself. Her reason was to avoid suspicion.”
Jiang Wuyou's foundation was in the military. As soon as he left the mainland, he went straight to Jue Ming Island and gained some influence at sea. Even...he could obtain information from inside the Dianghai Tower.
Decisions made by powerful elders like Elder Bi Zhu are not something that ordinary information sources could reveal.
"What on earth is Bi Zhu Po trying to do" Jiang Wang asked.
Zhong Xuan Sheng said: "It doesn't matter what she wants to do. The most important thing is, do you still have expectations for her"

“Zhuge Biqiong trusted her so much, and ended up being imprisoned because of her. What I thought in my heart was actually that I owed her an apology. I had to think, was she actually a good master Perhaps we misunderstood her”
Jiang Wang said, his eyelids drooping slightly: "Alright, I admit it. The longer I stay in the nearby islands, the more I realize the terror of the Diaolou, and the more impossible I know this challenge is. It's fine that I'm alone, but now I've brought you all along, and I worry about holding you back. I can't help but have some weak fantasies, fantasizing that there might be some concessions inside the Diaolou."
"Being nice to her before doesn't mean I will always be nice to her. It's important to be a good master, or to pursue a good future for myself. That old woman knows how to weigh these things herself."
Zhong Xuan Sheng didn't judge his so-called "fantasies." He simply re-categorized Bi Zhu Po and said, “We are your help, not your burden. If we fall to the point where you need to worry about us, wouldn't that mean I and Jiang Wuyou have failed My Zhong Xuan family has two marquesses, generations of nobility. The current order of my succession is already before Zhong Xuan Zun. And Jiang Wuyou is the master of Hua Ying Palace, with the potential to control the most powerful force in the world in the future. What makes you think we could be dragged down by you”
He glared at Jiang Wang, his expression filled with anger: "Think carefully about yourself. Me and Jiang Wuyou's worst case scenario is just taking a few steps back on the road to power struggle, but you, Jiang Qingyang! If you encountered the worst situation, you would die!"轉碼失敗！請您使用右上換源切換源站閱讀或者直接前往源網站進行閱讀！
