However, let’s not dwell on the topic. What happened tonight must not be casually leaked, not even to family.
“By the way, Jiang Jiewen, here’s your talisman back. Thanks to it, it really proved effective tonight. Where did you get this talisman?” Jiang Shi shifted the conversation, pulling out a small jade pendant from his pocket and handing it to his daughter.
“Uh, this was given to me by a friend. Dad, you can keep it for now, and I’ll take it back after the case is over,” Jiang Jiewen replied, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes. After all, her father held a strong prejudice against Jiang Chen; if he knew it was from Jiang Chen, he would surely react strongly. So Jiang Jiewen quickly made up an excuse, fearing further questioning. She then feigned surprise.
“Dad, is this talisman really effective? Can you tell me how it works? I promise Mom and I won’t tell anyone else,” Jiang Jiewen asked curiously.
Although Jiang Shi was reluctant to share, he couldn’t resist the persistent inquiries from his daughter and wife. Trusting them, he briefly recounted the events of the night.
He expected his wife and daughter to be shocked upon hearing it, but to his surprise, while his wife looked astonished and incredulous, his daughter seemed completely unfazed.
“Honey, is this really true? Are there really such powerful people in this world? Isn’t this like something out of a martial arts novel?” Jiang Jiewen's mother appeared very surprised.
“If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it either. Of course, my knowledge is limited; there are some things we just can’t comprehend. Some people’s abilities truly exceed our understanding. By the way, Jiang Jiewen, why do you look so unperturbed?” Jiang Shi asked his daughter with a puzzled expression.
“The world is vast; there’s nothing strange about it,” Jiang Jiewen replied with an awkward smile. She couldn’t exactly say that the two martial experts her father saw were nothing compared to Jiang Chen.
“You young people have quite a strong capacity for acceptance,” Jiang Shi muttered to himself, sensing something was off about his daughter but unable to pinpoint what it was.
“By the way, Dad, is there some treasure on Qingyi Mountain? Why do those two go up there every night?” Jiang Jiewen continued her questioning.
“There’s a Longyan Pool on Qingyi Mountain. Those two mentioned something about a spirit essence; I’m not sure what that is. It sounds so mystical that I almost feel like I’ve stepped into a martial arts novel,” Jiang Shi chuckled, finding everything somewhat surreal.
Hearing her father’s words, Jiang Jiewen fell into deep thought.
After pestering Jiang Shi for more details, she soon learned the ins and outs of the situation. However, for her, this wasn’t anything new. What she cared about was that if there was indeed spirit essence in the Longyan Pool, it must be something valuable that Jiang Chen could use for cultivation. Thus, she began to plan in her mind how to inform Jiang Chen about this discovery. It seemed she had made the right call by asking him to stay.
“Jiang Jiewen, what are you thinking about?” Jiang Shi asked when he noticed his daughter lost in thought.
“Dad, there’s actually something I’ve been considering telling you; it’s about Jiang Chen,” Jiang Jiewen suddenly said with a serious expression.
Upon hearing Jiang Chen’s name, Jiang Shi’s face immediately darkened.
“Why are you bringing him up again?” His emotions towards Jiang Chen were clearly negative.
