Chapter 1689 "The Night Watchman of the Great Feng Dynasty" - Chu Caiwei

Xu Pingzhi!
The person next to Li Ru was none other than Xu Pingzhi.

Xu Pingzhi in "The Night Watchman of Dafeng".

In the drama, he is the head of the Xu family and also Xu Qi'an's second uncle. He rose from a centurion to a commander in the Imperial Guard, and his martial arts skills improved from the eighth-grade Qi Refining Realm to the seventh-grade Spirit Refining Realm. As the head of the Xu family, Xu Pingzhi has deep feelings for his family. He cares about their safety and does his best to protect them from harm. When the family faces difficulties, he always steps forward to lead his family through the crisis.

"According to the drama, Xu Pingzhi is only thirty-four or thirty-five years old now."

"Looks so old."

"Much older than his peers in the First World."

When Jiang Chen saw Xu Pingzhi, he thought of his daughter.

It must be said that Xu Pingzhi, this rough and uncultured man, has a rather beautiful daughter.

However, Jiang Chen didn't have much time to pay attention to Xu Pingzhi and Li Ru, and continued walking forward.

Soon, Jiang Chen arrived at the Princess's residence.

"It's been a long time since I've been here."

Jiang Chen glanced at the Princess's residence, then his figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.

The Princess's Residence, Study.

"Princess, it's been a long time." Jiang Chen looked at Huaiqing with a smile.

"Jiang Chen, it's you." Huaiqing's expression changed slightly when he saw Jiang Chen suddenly appear.

"Princess, I'd like to have a talk with you. Please don't let anyone disturb us," Jiang Chen said calmly.

Huaiqing glanced at Jiang Chen.

A moment later, Huaiqing gave an order to the outside world.

"Alright, no one dares to bother us now," Huaiqing said.

Jiang Chen took out an array plate and activated it.

next moment.

A soundproof array enveloped the study.

"Is this an array?" Huaiqing's expression changed slightly.

"Yes, a soundproof array." Jiang Chen did not hide anything.

"Young Master Jiang, what brings you here?" Huaiqing asked.

"Your Highness, I think you've already investigated Xu Pingfeng's matter thoroughly, haven't you?" Jiang Chen asked.

When Jiang Chen last came to the Fourth World, he talked to Huai Qing about Xu Pingfeng. Jiang Chen's goal was simple: to disrupt Xu Pingfeng's plans.

“I’ve investigated, but there are many things I haven’t found out,” Huaiqing said.

“It’s normal that the eldest princess hasn’t found out. I’m just afraid that her investigation will be discovered,” Jiang Chen said.

“That’s none of your concern, Young Master Jiang. However, as far as I know, your Jiang family sells quite a few pills and talismans in the capital. Does your Jiang family have any sorcerers?” Huaiqing asked.

“In our Jiang family, we don’t call them sorcerers. Those who refine pills are alchemists, and those who inscribe talismans are spirit talisman masters,” Jiang Chen said.

"Oh? Why?" Huaiqing asked.

"Princess, are you aware of the situation overseas?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Overseas? Your Jiang family comes from overseas?" Huaiqing asked in surprise.

"Correct."

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "In the eyes of our Jiang family, the continent where the Great Feng Dynasty is located is called the Nine Provinces Continent. Beyond the Nine Provinces Continent, there are countless other continents, each with its own cultivation system."

"Why are you saying these things to me?" Huaiqing asked.

"I want to broaden your horizons, Princess, so you don't remain narrow-minded," Jiang Chen replied without hesitation, showing no concern about offending Huai Qing.

"is it?"

“Your Highness, I have another purpose in doing this, which is to further cooperate with you,” Jiang Chen said.

"Cooperation? Young Master Jiang, why don't you tell me about it?" Huaiqing asked.

“Our Jiang family possesses low-grade elixirs and talismans, and we wish to cooperate with the imperial court,” Jiang Chen said.

"Cooperate? Why should I cooperate with you?" Huaiqing picked up her teacup and took a sip.

“I can help you improve your strength,” Jiang Chen said.

At the beginning of the story of "The Great Feng Night Watchman", Huaiqing's strength was set as a ninth-rank martial artist, but this was the level she claimed to be.

There are two main reasons why she chose to hide her true strength: first, to avoid arousing excessive suspicion from Emperor Yuanjing, thus protecting herself from a political marriage (becoming the second Princess Pingyang); second, in martial arts cultivation, if one loses their virginity below the eighth rank, it will greatly hinder their cultivation breakthrough, so she avoids the risk by maintaining a low-level image.

In reality, Huaiqing's true cultivation level was far higher than the ninth rank, and she had secretly reached the fourth or fifth rank. Later, with the help of Xu Qi'an, she refined the Blood Pill and successfully advanced to the third rank, becoming the only female martial artist in the contemporary era to reach the realm of the indestructible body.

There are still two years before the story begins, but Jiang Chen senses that Huai Qing is already a fifth-grade Transformation Realm expert.

In the Nine Provinces Continent, the fifth rank of Transformation Realm is equivalent to the Martial God Realm and the Myriad Manifestations Realm in the Jiang family's cultivation system.

"Help me improve my strength?" Huaiqing's beautiful eyes flashed.

“Yes, I have the ability to improve your strength.” Jiang Chen flipped his hand, and a jade box appeared in his palm.

"What is this?" Huaiqing asked.

"A ten-thousand-year-old Vermilion Fruit." As he spoke, Jiang Chen presented the jade box to Huai Qing.

"A ten-thousand-year-old Vermilion Fruit?" Huaiqing's expression changed slightly, and then he opened the jade box.

“Princess, your fifth-grade Transformation Realm strength is still too low. Consider this ten-thousand-year-old Vermilion Fruit a gift for you. As long as you cooperate with me, I can help you break through to the third grade within three years,” Jiang Chen said.

Huaiqing asked calmly, "I don't think some low-level pills or talismans would be enough to make you pay such a high price, right? Young Master Jiang, tell me the truth, what do you want?"

“You,” Jiang Chen said.

"What?" Huaiqing was slightly taken aback, somewhat unable to react.

"I want you."

Jiang Chen made no attempt to hide anything: "I want you to become my woman. In exchange, I can provide cultivation resources to improve your cultivation level. If you are willing, I will make you the Empress of the Great Feng Dynasty."

"As far as I know, Young Master Jiang, you have a wife." Huaiqing was not angry.

"So what? I have a wife and you becoming my woman doesn't conflict with that. In fact, if you don't want to be exposed, I can keep it a secret from everyone," Jiang Chen said calmly.

"Young Master Jiang, do you think I would agree?" Huaiqing looked at Jiang Chen, her gaze calm.

“As the eldest princess of the Great Feng Dynasty, even if you conceal your cultivation, you cannot change your fate of being forced into a marriage alliance. The reason why cooperating with me can maximize your benefits is that…” Jiang Chen said.

Jiang Chen didn't think there was anything wrong with saying that.

The Great Feng Dynasty practiced polygamy.

Even Princess Huaiqing couldn't change this fact.

"you……"

"Princess, please don't be angry." Seeing Huaiqing's anger, Jiang Chen said, "You should know that the Great Feng Dynasty's fortunes are declining. The Great Feng's national strength is severely weakened, the court is beset by internal and external troubles, the people are suffering, and loyal officials are being wronged. Don't you want to know the reasons? Don't you want to save it?"

"What do you know?" Huaiqing's expression changed slightly.

"Know what?" Jiang Chen smiled mysteriously and said, "I know everything. Although I can't tell you the specifics, I can tell you that someone is secretly abducting the people of Da Feng and draining their life essence."

"What?" Huaiqing stood up abruptly.

“Princess, you can investigate yourself,” Jiang Chen said.

“I will investigate,” Huaiqing said.

“Then I’ll wait for you to investigate. But next time you come, I want to know if you’re willing to become my woman and cooperate with me,” Jiang Chen said.

Huaiqing remained silent.

"See you next time." Jiang Chen dispelled the formation, turned around, and left.

Huaiqing watched Jiang Chen's departing figure, his face turning pale and then red.

On the other side, Jiang Chen left the Princess's residence without leaving a trace, and then looked towards the direction of the Imperial Palace.

Jiang Chen actually wanted to visit the palace.

However, the imperial palace of the Great Feng Dynasty was filled with experts.

As for the high-ranking officials of the court, the Supervisor, as the embodiment of the will of Heaven, is a first-rank sorcerer with unfathomable strength. He can communicate with the Heavenly Dao and dominate the situation at crucial moments. The Imperial Preceptor, Luo Yuheng, was originally the head of the Human Sect, with cultivation reaching the peak of the second rank. He later entered the first rank through dual cultivation and is one of the court's top combat forces. Zhao Shou, as a third-rank Confucian scholar, is known for his support skills, but with the help of items such as the Confucian Sage's Carving Knife, he can exert second-rank combat power and is an important strategic support. It is because of the existence of these people that Jiang Chen dared not sneak into the palace.

According to the cultivation system of "The Great Feng Night Watchman", it may not be inferior to the cultivation system of "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality".

Fortunately, Jiang Chen was strong enough and able to hide his strength; otherwise, he might have been discovered as soon as he arrived in the Nine Provinces Continent.

However, what Jiang Chen is thinking about now is how to obtain the national destiny from Xu Qi'an.

As long as we obtain the national destiny from Xu Qi'an, we can not only continue trading with Huaiqing, but also thwart the conspiracies of some people and disrupt the original storyline of the Nine Provinces Continent.

Jiang Chen had already considered this idea when he came last time, but at that time, he felt that he was not strong enough. But now it's different. Jiang Chen feels that he is strong enough now.

Moreover, he doesn't need to go to the Nine Provinces Continent to devour the national fortune within Xu Qi'an's body.

"Then it's settled."

With that thought in mind, Jiang Chen walked forward.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, Jiang Chen saw a beautiful figure.

"is her?"

Jiang Chen recognized him.

Almost simultaneously, a system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received twelve Mortal Fire Seeds.]

"Twelve tinderboxes?"

"This is the third time I've checked in."

According to the system introduction, ordinary fire is just common flame, usually found in the hands of ordinary cultivators. Its flame temperature and attack power are relatively low, but it can be used as learning material for basic fire-type skills. Its power and application range are both lower than that of exotic fire (exotic fire is also divided into grades, such as spirit grade, profound grade, holy grade, royal grade, emperor grade, etc.).

The ordinary fire seed that you are currently checking in with the system is the seed of ordinary fire.

Fire-attribute martial artists can cultivate more effectively after refining ordinary fire seeds.

"This mortal fire seed is a good thing... it can be given to the Jiang family's chef team."

"A fire source and a pot of unified energy, they are a perfect match."

At that moment, Jiang Chen looked at the female lead who had signed in.

Chu Caiwei is a character in the play "The Night Watchman of Dafeng".

In the drama, she is the sixth disciple under the second-generation director of the Imperial Observatory. She is a simple-minded, food-loving, big-eyed, and adorable girl. She meets Xu Qi'an because of the tax silver case. She has a beautiful and delicate oval face, bright and sparkling eyes, and the whites of her eyes are as clear as a baby's, making her look extremely pure.

"A character in 'The Great Feng Night Watchman'".

"Chu Caiwei..."

In the drama, Chu Caiwei and Xu Qi'an met because of the tax silver case. Chu Caiwei was ordered to assist in the investigation of the tax silver case. In order to avoid his own imprisonment, Xu Qi'an provided important clues for the tax silver case, thus solving the case. Chu Caiwei also admired Xu Qi'an's talent because of this!

Chu Caiwei was practically Xu Qi'an's little follower; no matter what she did, the first person she thought of was Xu Qi'an! The two were best friends who could talk about anything!
In the drama, Chu Caiwei is constantly eating. Whether she's solving a case or relaxing, her mouth never stops, and it seems like she always has an endless supply of food in her hands! She's always eating! That's why she earned the nickname "Glutton Girl"!

Chu Caiwei is simple-minded and kind-hearted, with big, bright eyes, earning her the nickname "Big-Eyed Cutie." As the sixth disciple of the Supervisor, she is a pure and innocent girl, unaware of the wickedness of others! She was lazy in her cultivation, and only after meeting Xu Qi'an did her cultivation level rise from a seventh-grade Feng Shui master to a sixth-grade alchemist!

Later, through developing chicken essence to benefit the people, she rose to the rank of sixth-grade alchemist. Chu Caiwei collaborated with Xu Yinluo in cases such as the tax evasion case, the haunted house case, and the Sangbo case, and gifted him a Rebirth Pill to help him be reborn. She and her third senior brother, Yang Qianhuan, secretly donated treasury silver for disaster relief, and were punished by being sent to wander the martial world, gradually shedding their childishness. In the case of the beast attacking people in Dahuang Mountain, she cooperated with the night watchman in a fierce cave battle, and ultimately succeeded as the supervisor in the election.

In the novel, Chu Caiwei was once tempted by delicious food and donated all the silver reserves of the Imperial Observatory—a sum that represented the entire Observatory's coffers! She didn't hesitate at all and squandered it all! When the Observatory Chief found out, he was depressed for several days and finally banished Chu Caiwei! Chu Caiwei then began to travel the world, witnessing the hardships of ordinary people and understanding the fickleness of human nature, realizing that there is evil in humanity besides good! Her mind gradually matured!
After her travels, she was no longer the naive little girl easily tempted by delicious food, and she understood the good intentions behind her supervisor's exile! Finally, she returned to the Imperial Observatory, where she received the highest number of votes and became the new supervisor!

"Although the TV series and the novel are different, no matter which version the Nine Provinces Continent incorporates, it will not have much impact on the Nine Provinces Continent."

"However, Chu Caiwei is only a teenager right now."

"There are still two years before the story begins. We don't know if Chu Caiwei is a fortune teller or a feng shui master."

Seeing Chu Caiwei reminded Jiang Chen of Jiang Baili from the First World.

Jiang Baili is still at Yenching University.

If there’s a chance…

“Chu Caiwei likes to eat, maybe she can…” Jiang Chen looked at Chu Caiwei, his eyes flickering.

Seemingly sensing Jiang Chen's gaze, Chu Caiwei looked over.

Upon seeing Jiang Chen, Chu Caiwei's expression changed slightly.

Chu Caiwei was a sorcerer.

The Warlock system was created by the First Supervisor after receiving the incense and divine inheritance, drawing inspiration from the Wizard system. It possesses the ability to manipulate destiny. Unlike other systems where high-level experts first cultivate to a certain realm and then reverse-engineer the system from a higher perspective, the Warlock system progresses from lower levels upwards until it is perfected. The Warlock system is actually a system secretly created for the First Supervisor by the Second Supervisor (the will of Heaven). It allows the Heavenly Dao to exert its power to the extreme, enabling the Heavenly Dao, in a human form, to glimpse heavenly secrets, forge magical artifacts, refine destiny, and control the fate of a dynasty. Controlling the Central Plains dynasty is equivalent to controlling the resources for cultivating martial gods, thus nurturing the Heavenly Dao's "gatekeepers."

Ninth-Rank Physician: Healing the sick and saving lives. Everything in the world has its own destiny, with humans being the most prominent. The eight sufferings, seven emotions, and six desires of life are all part of this destiny. Physicians, in saving lives and healing the wounded, inevitably become entangled in the cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death. Over time, they develop clear eyes that can see through destiny, laying the foundation for advancing to the rank of Qi Observer.

Eighth-Rank Qi Observer: Possesses clear eyes that can see through fate; lie detection is one of their functions. They also have the ability to shield fate; to shield the fate of others, one must be at least sixth-rank. An advanced version of this ability is shielding heavenly secrets/destiny. Qi observation is the most basic ability of a sorcerer; all subsequent supernatural abilities are built upon this foundation.

To prevent collusion between astronomers and officials, the imperial court decreed that, apart from the director of the astronomer's office, astronomers were not allowed to use the art of observing qi (vital energy) on officials of the fourth rank or above.

Chu Caiwei is now a fortune teller.

He was about to break through to become an eighth-rank Feng Shui master, a seventh-rank Feng Shui master.

Chu Caiwei looked at Jiang Chen and involuntarily used her Qi Observation Technique.

But Chu Caiwei was shocked to discover that after using the Qi Observation Technique, she couldn't tell anything at all.

Jiang Chen seems to be an enigma.

"How can it be……"

If Jiang Chen were a high-ranking official, it would be one thing, but Jiang Chen is clearly an ordinary person.

An ordinary person, whose fate remains a mystery?

How can this be?

It should be understood that even a newborn baby or a very old person has their own destiny.

Not only humans, but even demons and ghosts... are related to luck.

Could it be that Jiang Chen is neither human, nor demon, nor ghost, nor devil, nor god?

"Are you looking at me?"

Jiang Chen took a step forward and appeared in front of Chu Caiwei.

"Who are you?" Chu Caiwei asked.

"I won't tell you," Jiang Chen said.

"..." Chu Caiwei.

"Want some?" Jiang Chen flipped his hand over, revealing a piece of meat.

"It smells so good." Chu Caiwei smelled the fragrance.

“This is dragon meat,” Jiang Chen said.

"Jiao... Jiaolong meat?" Chu Caiwei was dumbfounded.

“Yes, try it,” Jiang Chen said.

"Why are you giving this to me?" Chu Caiwei asked.

"Because you like to eat it," Jiang Chen said.

"..." Chu Caiwei.

"Bring me whatever good food I have in the future," Jiang Chen said.

"I don't think I know you," Chu Caiwei said.

"What does it matter?" Jiang Chen smiled, lowered his voice, and said, "Although this is the first time I've met you, I like you, little girl."

"..." Chu Caiwei.

Chu Caiwei turned and left.

Chu Caiwei moved very fast, as if Jiang Chen were a big bad wolf ready to devour people.

"Am I that scary?" Jiang Chen was speechless.

However, Jiang Chen didn't think much of it at the moment.

Because he was going to find Xu Qi'an.
