Primordial Era: Jade Cauldron Forgot to Take on Disciples

Chapter 55 The Poor Li Jing and the Fierce Woman Deng Chanyu

Yang Jian went up and greeted him, "General Li, your outfit today is certainly very festive!"

"That's right, this was sewn by Yin San Niang herself, and she sent it by fast horse, just so that I could look presentable at this time."

Li Jing responded subconsciously, but when he realized it was Yang Jian, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and his attitude immediately turned cold: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and you have suddenly become the Marquis of Shu, and even gained the appreciation of Grand Tutor Wen. Now you have great power in your house and a beauty in your arms. I really envy you very much."

Li Jing began by complimenting Yang Jian on his newfound title as the Marquis of Shu, but as he continued, his words carried a hint of sarcasm.

Clearly, he disliked Yang Jian's decision to abandon his identity as a disciple of the Chan Sect and become Wen Zhong's junior brother.

When he was cultivating Taoism under the tutelage of Master Du'e, he had met Shen Gongbao several times.

In his mind, Shen Gongbao was a kind Taoist priest, who was good-looking but ugly and fierce.

Yang Jian looked quite embarrassed upon hearing this; he had been mistaken for a traitor.

He certainly couldn't tolerate that.

He then steeled himself and forcibly pulled Li Jing aside.

Li Jing wanted to break free, but worried about tearing his wife's newly sewn robe, so he had to give up.

Upon arriving at the destination, Yang Jian said solemnly, "General Li, if you think that way, then you are sure to face great calamity."

Li Jing pulled his arm back, then looked with heartache at the spot where Yang Jian had grabbed him.

I breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that there was no damage.

He immediately thought of what Yang Jian had just said about the impending doom.

I couldn't help but ask, somewhat curiously, "What does that mean?"

"I heard your wife is pregnant with her third child?"

"That's right. How did you find out?" Li Jing frowned, then relaxed, his face flushing with anger. "It must be that big-mouthed Zheng Lun!"

His gaze was intense as he stared at Yang Jian: "You said I'm facing imminent disaster, and that my wife is pregnant. Could it be that you mean...?"

Li Jing paused abruptly halfway through his sentence.

If Yang Jian were to speak ill of his wife, he would rather lose face than let Yang Jian get away with it and teach him a lesson.

Yang Jian countered, "General Li, do you know how a woman gives birth?"

"The yin and yang energies of men and women combine naturally, one begets two, two begets three."

Li Jing said this as a matter of course.

Yang Jian almost laughed upon hearing this. Could it be that this old guy is still a virgin?

A virgin with three children? Who would believe that?

His gaze fell on the green hair crown on Li Jing's head, which was indeed a shiny green, glossy and smooth.

Does he have to teach Li Jing how to conduct marital relations?

Upon realizing this, Yang Jian's face darkened.

But he still mustered the courage to ask, "Could it be that General Li has never had marital relations?"

"This...this..."

Li Jing stammered, his face flushed, and he turned his head to look around before whispering, "Of course there is. Could it be that marital relations are related to having a child?"

Seeing Li Jing's embarrassed appearance.

Su Daji, standing to the side, couldn't help but cover her face and laugh.

Yang Jian shook his head and sighed, "The Shang Dynasty is even more feudal than feudalism itself."

A dignified general, a man nine feet tall, doesn't even understand this simple matter.

Li Jing's face immediately darkened. If Yang Jian hadn't lied to him, a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

He hurriedly went to ask the person next to him.

Upon receiving confirmation, his eyes immediately turned red.

Veins bulged on his forehead, his fists clenched, suppressing the anger in his heart.

"What does this have to do with my impending doom?"

Li Jing's throat was a little dry, and his voice was hoarse.

"Why do you think I would abandon my ties with the Chan Sect and choose to join the Jie Sect?"

Yang Jian didn't finish his sentence, leaving it for Li Jing to figure out.

Sometimes, what the other person realizes for themselves is more profound than what they say.

Li Jing was a clever man and naturally understood Yang Jian's implication.

He closed his eyes, then suddenly opened them again, the bloodshot veins in them becoming even more prominent: "You mean that old bastard Shen Gongbao bullied my wife?"

Now it was Yang Jian's turn to be stunned.

Li Jing's brain works in a way that makes no sense; he actually shifts the blame to Shen Gongbao.

Yang Jian thought about it for a moment and immediately understood. He hadn't finished speaking, so it was normal for Li Jing to misunderstand.

He patiently explained, "Even if it wasn't Shen Gongbao, it's still inextricably linked to his sect. But their power is immense. What can you do? Fight back?"

"Why is it like this~"

Upon receiving the answer, Li Jing felt as if all his energy and spirit had been instantly drained, leaving him dejected and no longer the spirited man he once was.

The Chan Sect are clearly all immortals, so why are they making things difficult for the Li family?

Li Jing did not suspect how Yang Jian knew this was a trick of the Chan Sect.

He subconsciously assumed that Yang Jian knew about it through Shen Gongbao, and then, unwilling to associate with the Chan Sect, he switched his allegiance to Grand Tutor Wen.

Su Daji blinked rapidly, even her breathing quieted down; she was also very curious about what Yang Jian was going to say next.

Yang Jian knew far too much, and Li Jing believed Lian Fan's words without a doubt.

It piqued her curiosity and made her feel a little itchy.

Su Daji even suspected that Yang Jian had stolen her charm and magic powers.

Looking at Li Jing's miserable state, Yang Jian felt that he had gone a bit too far.

If this continues, Li Jing might be ruined.

He could only offer words of comfort: "Your wife may not necessarily have been bullied. Immortals have many ways to make people pregnant out of thin air, but what their purpose is is beyond my knowledge."

But you're not entirely powerless; there's one thing you can do.

"What is it?"

Hearing Yang Jian's explanation.

Li Jing's spirits had just recovered somewhat. He had a deep affection for Yin Sanniang, and she was just as naive as he was. He believed that Yin Sanniang could not have done such a wicked thing, and that it must have been the immortal of the Chan Sect who secretly cast a spell.

"The fetus died in the womb."

Li Jing was startled upon hearing this.

He then exhaled slowly, his eyes sparkling.

After a long pause, he nodded and said, "I'll go home and tell my wife about this, and then we'll see what she decides."

Upon hearing Li Jing's reply...

Yang Jian immediately realized that Nezha's birth was inevitable.

Because Li Jing's wife would certainly not want her unborn child to be harmed.

This is a mother's nature.

It's hard to go against one's nature.

Yang Jian was about to offer another word of advice, hoping to salvage the situation and prevent Li Jing from being cuckolded.

Li Jing waved his hand to stop him: "Thank you for informing me, Brother Yang. I have already made my decision! There is no need to say more."

After saying this, Li Jing turned and left.

As Yang Jian gazed at Li Jing's retreating figure, he felt that while Li Jing's outward appearance remained as straight as before, his spine had already bent.

This trip wasn't entirely fruitless.

Even though the seed of Nezha has already been planted.

However, Li Jing had no possibility of siding with the Chan Sect. Even if he were to be incorporated into the Chan Sect, this very weakness would become his fatal vulnerability.

Actually, there is another way to prevent Nezha from being born.

That is, Yang Jian personally went to perform a physical abortion.

But anyone with a brain knows that's impossible.

If he guesses correctly.

From the moment the seed was planted, Taiyi Zhenren stayed at Chentang Pass without ever leaving its side.

Given Taiyi Zhenren's protective nature, it's not entirely impossible.

Perhaps Nezha's seed was planted by Taiyi Zhenren.

Otherwise, how can we explain that he treated Nezha better than his own father?

Just as Yang Jian was lost in thought...

A voice suddenly rang out.

"You're Yang Jian?"

His tone was extremely aggressive and confrontational.

Yang Jian turned around and saw a young girl.

Two sword hilts were visible behind the girl. She was tall and had a rather heroic air about her. Her eyebrows and eyes were cold and aloof, but her overall face gave people a feeling of coolness without losing her charm.

"Exactly!"

"So you're saying you killed my brother Deng Zhong? Don't you dare run away after the ceremony, I'm going to avenge my brother."

The girl's eyes blazed with fury, but her tone was soft and sweet, making her murderous words sound somewhat endearing.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian immediately recalled the day he faced Mo Liqing and Deng Zhong alone, when Deng Zhong unleashed a wisp of Qingping Sword energy.

That was the closest he ever came to death, and even now, thinking about it makes his internal organs ache.

Looking at the girl in front of him, he found it somewhat amusing: "Don't you have any adults in your family? Why send a little kid like you out to take revenge?"

"court death!"

Extremely girly.

He was about to draw his sword and teach Yang Jian a lesson.

Suddenly, a burly man appeared behind her and pressed down with his large hand, suppressing her anger.

The girl turned around and said reluctantly, "Father, why are you stopping me? I want to avenge my elder brother."

"Don't make a scene at the Heaven Worship Ceremony," the burly man glared fiercely, then clasped his hands in a fist and said to Yang Jian, "General Deng Jiugong of Sanshan Pass, my daughter was impetuous, please forgive her."

Deng Jiugong apologized verbally, but his eyes were cold.

Yang Jian casually cupped his hands in greeting: "Deng Zhong deserved to die. If you're not satisfied, find someone older. Sending a little girl to cause trouble is really something."

Deng Jiugong was furious, but unusually, he held back.

The girl behind him suddenly drew her knife: "Come on, let's have a fight. If I, Deng Chanyu, don't chop you into a fat and lean mess today, I'll take your surname."

The second update is here.

That concludes today's update. Thank you for reading.

Wishing everyone all the best.

See you tomorrow morning at eight o'clock.
