Chapter 40: Invitation

This is the most important question that Jiang Wang had in mind.

But looking back on his journey, Jiang Wang thought to himself that he had put on a complete performance, being vigilant at all times and leaving no room for carelessness.

That is to say, even if blindfolded, the most people can do is to have some doubts.

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

But would we cast aside a future prodigy because of this suspicion The answer is self-evident.

So let's get back to the question at hand.

The blind old man's words were actually asking, "Does Jiang Wangyuan want to join the 'Night Watchmen'!"

As long as Jiang Wang answered with confidence, he would immediately receive the cultivation of this terrifying powerhouse, and even had the possibility of inheriting his mantle.

However, the benefits of adding "night watchmen" are immediately apparent. Where is the regulation

Such an easily unseen government office must inevitably have strict regulations.

After joining the "night watchman" team, can one still retain their own industry Is there still a possibility of interaction with aristocratic families and prominent lineages

This is a serious matter, Jiang Wang cannot make a decision at this time. At the very least, he needs to find out about "the night watchman" first.

"In the great Qi state, heroes abound. Even the most formidable villain has their match."

Jiang Wang said neither servilely nor arrogantly: "If we were in the same realm, I would have confidence facing any opponent. But now that I've just opened the first mansion, to say that I have the confidence to kill Yin Guan is too arrogant and presumptuous."

While his words held no trace of arrogance, they were uttered with a certain clarity.

Yue Leng also spoke, "This time failing to capture King Qin Guang is my responsibility. But Head Jiang's contribution should not be erased. I will petition the throne and still promote him to the rank of Fourth Rank Qingpai."

This expresses an attitude, stepping forward to snatch someone away, wanting to keep Jiang Wang within the Qingpai system.

To this day, Jiang Wang's talent has been recognized.

At the ruins of Ku Rong Temple, when they first encountered him, the blind night watchman hadn't made such an invitation.

If it were someone else, Yue Leng would also likely not fight for their right to choose independently.

Jiang Wang's future is worth betting on.

The blind monk did not speak as he beat the drum.

This is a powerful person with a sharp mind. Though blind, he is not hindered in his understanding of the world.

Jiang Wang's temperament was unusually calm, without the arrogance of a young man who had achieved success. He wasn't the kind of youth whose words could easily stir emotions.

And Yue Leng this time out of the mountain, nothing got not to say, but also folded half a lifetime prestige. Maybe his state of mind will change.

The world "seen" by the mind's eye is not necessarily more colorful than the world seen with our physical eyes, but perhaps it is more concrete and intuitive.

A white paper lantern swayed gently, and the blindfolded night watchman turned his feet and vanished into thin air.

Yue Leng consecutively cast his seals, retracting the iron pillars and chains connecting to the void.

Jiang Wang stood silently to the side, waiting for him to finish and express his due respect.

"Do you know this person" Yue Leng suddenly asked.

"It was nice to meet you." Jiang Wang said truthfully.

“People say you, Jiang Qingyang, have no foundation and are unpredictable. But the Chongxuan family supports you wholeheartedly, and even someone as aloof as Li Zhenshu has spoken highly of you to His Majesty on several occasions. Now, this person also favors you.”

Yue Leng looked at him, a smile playing on his lips: "Who is your master"

Jiang Wang was hearing about Li Zhengshu speaking well of him to Emperor Qi for the first time. This man was indeed a gentleman of integrity, a scholar with an exemplary bearing. He had spoken up for Jiang Wang in front of Emperor Qi but had never let him know.

However, he gets along well with Li Fengyao and Li Longchuan. Since Li Zhishou loves his friends, it's only natural that he would also be friendly towards their acquaintances.

Facing Yue Leng's probing, Jiang Wang paused for a moment before replying, "Along the way, I have been figuring things out on my own. There is no master."

Facing someone like Yue Leng, lying was extremely difficult. Therefore, Jiang Wang did not hide his unwillingness to answer. He responded very vaguely.

Yue Leng stopped questioning further, and the casual thought of taking on a disciple had also faded.

He shook his head and suddenly sighed: "The latercomers are to be feared. Perhaps I should have returned to the Sanxing Palace in the beginning."

Jiang Wang certainly wouldn't be narcissistic enough to think that the "latercomer" Yue Leng was talking about was himself. Only Yin Guan, who had just achieved the divine realm, would be worthy of the phrase "fearsome" coming from the God Catcher. To the point of even thinking about returning to the Sanxing Palace.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

The Legalist holy land, known as the Sanxing Palace, actually refers to a collective term for three law palaces.

Named "guitian", named "juti", named "xingren".

The so-called Three Punishments Palace that people usually talk about is actually the Palace of Criminal Justice. Because only the disciples of this legal palace will travel the world and serve as officials in various countries. Those who often chase down criminals all over the world are also disciples of this legal palace.

The Three Sects Palace does not adhere to the sects or nationalities of its disciples, only ideological constraints. It makes no political demands.

Yue Leng's master in his early years came from the legitimate San Xing Gong. He learned a lot under him and later became even more accomplished than his master, but he himself had never been to San Xing Gong.

Firstly, the holy land of Legalism isn't somewhere he could just go to.

>

Secondly, the Sanxing Palace is not particularly keen on gathering disciples. As long as they do not violate the laws of the Sanxing Palace, disciples are free to go wherever they want and join any faction. Even if disciples act independently and attack each other, they are not restricted.

In fact, given Yue Leng's later cultivation progress, he was completely capable of "returning" to the San Xing Gong and becoming a legitimate Fa family saint master. He could have immersed himself in scriptures, delved into traditions, and expanded the boundaries of legal studies—all he had to do was let go of everything he had in Qi State.

Even the State of Qi could not force him to stay. Just like disciples of the San Xing Gong, if they were determined to serve in the State of Qi and no longer return to San Xing Gong, San Xing Gong would not interfere either.

In the Three Punishments Palace, he should be able to make more progress. For it is the holy land of Legalism, and the source of his path of seeking the Dao.

But Yue Leng chose to stay, remaining in Qi.

Because in his heart, the identification with the identity of "Qi Ren" was higher than the identification with the identity of "Fa Jia Disciple".

However, being in Qi, one could never escape worldly affairs. Just like this time, he was invited out of the mountains by Zheng Shi.

After so long in seclusion, the Realm of True Understanding remains out of reach. Even with a generation of Godcatchers personally taking action, they couldn't capture the culprit. Instead, Qin Guangwang usurped his position, stepping up thanks to him and achieving divine presence.

Although his lifespan was still abundant, Yue Leng couldn't help but sigh that he had grown old.

But Jiang Wang wouldn't take his sigh to heart.

With Yue Leng's formidable power and years of struggle within the Inspection Department, earning him the name "Capture God", he would undoubtedly receive all due treatment in the State of Qi.

He dedicated his entire life to serving the state of Qi. It's not as simple as just leaving now.

Jiang Wang didn't respond to Yue Leng's exclamation, and Yue Leng didn't need him to.

After composing myself a bit, I said, “King Qin Guang possesses such courage and talent that no one could have anticipated it beforehand. But your intelligence is sound. Our Great Qi Qing Pai has always been fair in its rewards and punishments, and your due reward will not be lacking. Your Fourth Rank Qing Pai will be implemented upon my return to Linzi. As for the Inner Palace Treasury Secret Arts suitable for your current cultivation level…”

He sized Jiang Wang up, his gaze meaningful: "If you're in a hurry, I could make an exception and pass down a technique to you first."

Of course, someone like Yue Leng could see that Jiang Wang hung up his professional card just to make it easier to leave the country.

But he didn't give face like Jiang Wang had worried about before in Bay County, instead he seized the opportunity and proactively helped Jiang Wang turn his acting position into a permanent one.

... whether to stay in Qingpai, or go fight more battles. Or join the army, or even seek a position as a county magistrate... there are many choices. Although all these options are within Qi state, they don't make much difference for Jiang Wang or Qi state itself.

But for those in high positions, who are based in these places, it's quite different.

It's easy to find a person, but hard to find a genius.

As for Jiang Wang, he has already demonstrated the potential to support a faction in the future.
