Chapter 2590: Chapter 2: Long Regret, the Human Heart Is Not Like Water
Jiang Wang reluctantly put away the storage box, recalling the first time he met King of Chu Jiang. It was also a bloody affair — that time he had asked Hell Has No Door for help to deal with Hai Zongming, but before Hell Has No Door could take action, he had already dealt with Hai Zongming himself.
King of Chu Jiang merely made a trip and pocketed fifty Prime Stones. Although now it only counts as half a Prime Stone’s deposit, at that time for Jiang Wang, it was enough to empty his purse.
Today, Hell Has No Door’s power has grown and its reputation rising rapidly, and the price has soared.
He is already noble as a marquis of the Hegemony Country, yet even now Hell Has No Door can empty his purse. Thirteen Prime Stones thrown out only covered a fraction of the appearance fee.
"By the way, where is King of Chu Jiang?" Jiang Wang thought of it and casually asked.
Yin Guan certainly wouldn’t tell him that King of Chu Jiang took Yu Liangfu’s head to Chuguo to claim the bounty. He merely coldly said, "Don’t inquire about the lives of your peers; it’s a rule of survival in our line of work."
"Don’t use ’our line of work.’" Jiang Wang scoffed at him and said, "I am a proud marquis of Daqi; how could I associate with assassins? As for that King of Bian Cheng’s mask, it’s only a mask to me. I only kill those I want to kill."
Yin Guan took the money, noted it down, and did not argue with him, merely said, "If you say so... See you!"
He turned into a streak of green light and disappeared from the carriage, coming and going very decisively.
Jiang Wang sucked his teeth, feeling quite uncomfortable.
Why is it that every time he encounters Yin Guan, his purse suffers?
In the speeding luxury carriage, Marquis Wu An of Daqi sighed deeply.
The taste of debt is unpleasant.
Zhang Linchuan, that cunning rascal, with six avatars creating a headache, not only hard to kill but also making Jiang Someone’s debts more troublesome.
Sending "The Evil Presence" to the Triple Punishment Palace fulfilled the cause and effect between Lin Youxie and the Triple Punishment Palace.
Yu Liangfu’s debt has been noted by Yin Guan, and he’ll slowly pay it off.
These debts are relatively easier to manage.
On the side of Yellow Sheri, to kill the cult’s founder’s avatar, directly mobilized troops to force a country’s Crown Prince... This great favor, Jiang Wang cannot even fathom how he’ll repay.
You could argue Gao Country is weak, Jingguo is strong, it’s righteous to eradicate the cult, and everyone bears responsibility, yet such excuses are too many... But you cannot ignore the friendship others have extended.
Besides, there’s that Yang Chongzu from Dan Country; it’s unclear who killed him. When the Zuo Family sent people, they found only his corpse, with the head taken away, clearly indicating the debt has a destination. Currently, he can only wait for someone to come and ask... Hopefully, it’s something solvable with money.
Zhongxuan Sheng mobilized Qi Country forces overseas to eliminate the Angry Whale Gang’s Li Daorong; ultimately, he fell to the hands of Diao Hai Building, killed by Zhu Bijing, paving the way for her reputation as a genius.
Jiang Wang’s feelings towards Zhu Bijing are complicated. He always considered Zhu Bijing a friend and fully believed in her goodwill towards him. However, Zhu Bijing returned to Diao Hai Building and became a disciple of Gu Huaixin; amidst layers of entanglements, their interactions inevitably seem awkward.
This likely explains why she didn’t meet him the last time he went overseas.
Though Zhu Bijing helps him out without requiring repayment, he can’t take it for granted. At least, he should visit the Near Sea Archipelago to say thank you in person.
As for Luo Huanhuan, who seeks the path through killing...
Qingyu is much wealthier than him, so no need to give money. Of course, preparing some gifts would be good.
It’s just True Man Ye has a bit of a temper, so later he still needs to think of a way to get closer. Heard Lingxiao Pavilion’s Huzong Holy Beast A-Chou has also appeared; how should the appearance fee be calculated?
Oh, and there’s Jiang Anan, Young Knight Jiang.
Thinking of An’an’s depiction of her first righteous heroism in the letter, he needs to think more about this appearance fee...
With so many threads at hand, even Jiang Wang, who has verified God Arrives, feels quite troubled.
After instructing the accompanying guards of the Marquis Mansion outside, he intended to collect his thoughts and practice cultivation.
But in the next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes.
The vigilance in his eyes turned into surprise: "Yu True Man!"
Alongside the surprise, there was also vigilance: "What brings you here?"
Suddenly entering the carriage, Yu Beidou, nose not being a nose, eyes not being eyes, grumpily said, "Relax, I’m not here to borrow money from you!"
"Even if you were here to borrow, I don’t have any." Jiang Wang chuckled dryly, then asked, "I’m curious, your eyes... what happened to them?"
Yu Beidou replied mysteriously, "Is this the marquis showing concern for an old man?"
"Look at what you’ve said." Jiang Wang didn’t understand where this old man’s resentment stemmed from, chuckling to accompany, "We are cross-generational friends, aren’t we? It’s normal for me to care about you."
Yu Beidou, dressed neatly and appropriately, with his hair combed meticulously, exuded an immortal-like elegance even a single eye couldn’t hide.
But his expression was peculiar—
"Surname Jiang, ask yourself truly, after the Broken Soul Gorge, did you think even once about me, your cross-generational friend?"
This deity-calculating Yu Beidou was truly aggrieved!
In this world, he has no relatives, no friends. The last younger apprentice, he killed personally. Current diviners and prime ministers who spy on fate are all on a different path from him.
He bore the cost of suppressing the Blood Demon alone, ran to the Triple Punishment Palace, worked hard to clear Jiang Wang of demonic association suspicions, testified Jiang Wang’s innocence, directly defying the Jing Country Mirror World Platform... how diligent he was.
Wasn’t that because they formed a bit of bond at Broken Soul Gorge?
