The atmosphere in the room suddenly became incredibly solemn and eerie.
Yun Tiange and Ji Yue'er also seemed to have sensed something amiss. They glanced at Jiang Yuling, then at Cai Youdao...
Well, it seemed like there might be a show to watch...
This was going to be fun.
And at this precise moment, Wang Shoujie had just emerged from the Portable Cave Mansion and entered the restaurant's private room. Witnessing this scene, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
He had been somewhat suspicious before, but now it seemed almost certain.
"You, are you really... Zi, Purple Glow?" Cai Youdao's voice trembled.
Before Jiang Yuling spoke, he would never have believed it, but those later words, no one else could possibly know, except for his precious disciple.
He had never expected that after so many years of searching fruitlessly, his disciple would appear so quietly.
"No, no, no, I'm not Purple Glow, nor am I Azure Glow!" Jiang Yuling quickly shook her head like a rattle-drum, with a "I don't listen, I don't listen" posture. "My name is Jiang Yuling, just an ordinary True Immortal reincarnated, absolutely not your disciple."
Are you kidding me? Her previous life's Master was so awesome, how could he be this shabby person in front of her!
"Azure Glow is your elder sister..." Cai Youdao became even more agitated upon hearing this, trembling all over. "You, you still remember her?"
"No, no, no, I don't remember, I just said it casually." Jiang Yuling's face turned pale, and she whispered a plea.
"Please don't, please don't let it be true~"
She was already struggling enough to support herself; if she had one more Master, wouldn't she go bankrupt?
"Talking nonsense? But every point you said is so accurate!" Cai Youdao stroked his greasy and messy hair, then held his head high and said, "Master is indeed dignified, with an immortal-like demeanor, mature and steady, and remains calm even when the sky falls."
"This... Attendant Cai." Wang Shoujie saw Jiang Yuling about to faint and finally stepped in to help. "It's fine to acknowledge your disciple. However, if you say Yuling is your disciple, you need to provide some evidence, right?"
"Evidence, yes, I have it!"
Cai Youdao also reacted and quickly took out a purple immortal sword from his storage ring.
It was a very beautiful immortal sword, surrounded by purple aura and shimmering with faint light. It was clearly designed for a woman, and the aura emanating from the immortal sword was incredibly profound, indicating its superior quality.
"This is the Purple Glow Immortal Sword left by my disciple Purple Glow. It's a High-grade Immortal Sword that I painstakingly commissioned for her using premium heavenly materials and earthly treasures. During that great calamity, I arrived a step too late, only managing to collect her remains and her treasures."
"Immortal, Immortal Sword! High-grade Immortal Sword~~!!" Jiang Yuling, who was originally a bit anxious, immediately had her eyes bulging.
She eagerly took the Purple Glow Immortal Sword, overjoyed: "No need to guess. I admit, I am your disciple, Immortal Monarch Zixia!"
"..." Wang Shoujie supported his forehead, unable to help but remind her, "True Monarch Yuling, the matter of master and disciple reunion should be taken seriously."
Jiang Yuling held the Purple Glow Immortal Sword and nodded seriously: "It should indeed be taken seriously. By the way, Master, where are my Immortal Scripture and storage ring?"
"Here, here..." Cai Youdao immediately excitedly pulled out an Immortal Scripture and a storage ring.
Clearly, he had kept these things all along, just waiting for this moment to find his disciple.
Before True Monarch Yuling could get excited, the purple Immortal Scripture, radiating with colorful light, fluttered and flew to Jiang Yuling's head.
On the Immortal Scripture, a little girl in a purple dress, exquisitely carved like jade, emerged. With a wave of her chubby little hand, a purple glow enveloped Jiang Yuling.
Suddenly.
A wisp of purple light also rose from the depths of Jiang Yuling's true spirit, reflecting off the purple Immortal Scripture and fitting perfectly.
"Purple Glow Sister! It's really Purple Glow Sister!" The weapon spirit of the Purple Glow Immortal Scripture's face flushed with excitement, and her clear, sparkling eyes filled with tears. "Wuwuwu, it's been thousands of years, and I finally see Purple Glow Sister again."
She happily circled around Jiang Yuling, like a purple, fluttering butterfly.
"Purple Glow Sister, long time no see."
The Purple Glow Immortal Sword also confirmed its owner and happily rubbed against her. Even the Half-Immortal Artifact-grade storage ring actively flew into Jiang Yuling's hand.
"Purple Glow, you truly are my precious disciple Purple Glow!" Cai Youdao exclaimed, old tears streaming down his face. "Wuwuwu~ Master has searched for you for so many years, and finally found you."
It really is...
Wang Shoujie and the others looked at each other, finding the scene quite dramatic.
However, Cai Youdao's willingness to spend so much time searching for his reincarnated disciple showed him to be a loyal and righteous Master.
"I'm rich, I'm rich." Jiang Yuling, however, was ecstatic because she had gained a large number of treasures. "I have an immortal sword, I have an Immortal Scripture, and I have a Half-Immortal Artifact storage ring. It should be full of my wealth. I remember now, I was very wealthy in my previous life. There are many Immortal Spirit Stones in my storage ring, and two Primordial Chaos Spirit Stones given by Master."
"Turns out, I'm a rich woman."
Instantly, tears streamed down her face.
She, Jiang Yuling, had been poor for so long, and finally, she had turned a corner. Even her Master, who now looked a bit shifty-eyed and greasy, suddenly became much more pleasing to the eye.
"Yuling, congratulations, congratulations. Don't get too excited yet." Wang Shoujie said with a smile, "Let's sit down first and sort out the cause and effect."
"You should call me Little Immortal Lord Yuling." Jiang Yuling proudly lifted her chin, giggling. "Shoujie, although we're close, and you're very handsome, there still needs to be proper respect."
"Uh... Little Immortal Lord Yuling, don't get too excited yet..." Wang Shoujie said, stroking his chin.
"Not excited, not excited. Let's talk about the termination of the contract first." Jiang Yuling put on a smug, arrogant, petty villain's face after gaining power. "A Little Immortal Lord as rich as I am, will never work. Never in my life."
"Are you sure?" Wang Shoujie said with a smile.
"Absolutely. It's just a small compensation for breaking the contract." Jiang Yuling patted her storage ring, looking smug. "Sister has plenty of money now. Considering you're handsome, I can keep you, fifty Top-grade Spirit Stones a year, but, hehehe, you have to let this Little Immortal Lord do whatever she wants~~~ Heheheh."
"Purple Glow, Purple Glow, don't be impulsive." Cai Youdao was sweating profusely with anxiety. "We must have integrity. Don't terminate the contract, absolutely don't terminate it."
"Master, what are you afraid of?" Jiang Yuling chuckled smugly. "After that purple glow, I remembered many things. My Master is an awesome Grand Overarching Saint Venerable, and quite strong among Saint Venerables. Master, you disguised yourself as such a dirty and disheveled person to cover your tracks, right? Now that we, master and disciple, have reunited, you don't have to wrong yourself like this anymore. Show your true form, and open the eyes of little Shoujie and old sister Tiange."
"This..." Cai Youdao was almost in tears. "Let's eat first, let's eat first. I'll tell you all about it later."
"Why save such a boastful story for later?" Jiang Yuling smugly put her arm around Wang Shoujie's shoulder and said flippantly, "Shoujie, old sister Tiange, from now on, you two will call me Sister Yuling, and I'll protect you in everything. Don't be afraid of those little demons from the Demon Realm, and don't feel any more pressure."
"I'll have my Master deal with them later. Oh, I remember now, my Master is the famous Seven Glows Saint Venerable! He commands the Seven Glows Grotto-Heaven in the North Pole Divine Continent, and even if a Demon Lord revives, he can defeat them with some effort."
"Purple Glow, no, Yuling..." Cai Youdao was on the verge of tears. "Can we please just eat first?"
"It's okay, it's okay, Master, don't be nervous. My Shoujie, actually... never mind that. I'll take out a Primordial Chaos Spirit Stone to tease him first." Jiang Yuling touched her storage ring, preparing to pull out the Primordial Chaos Spirit Stone from her memory.
However, soon, her face gradually stiffened.
She kept searching through her storage ring with her Divine Sense, and after a moment, she looked at Cai Youdao with a blank expression: "Master, where's my Primordial Chaos Spirit Stone?"
"It, it's been used..." Cai Youdao covered his face, utterly ashamed.
"Then, those more than a hundred Immortal Spirit Stones, more than three thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones, more than five hundred thousand High-grade Spirit Stones..." Jiang Yuling's heart sank deeper and deeper. "All used up?"
"Purple Glow, no, Yuling, it's Master's fault." Cai Youdao wiped his tears. "Our Seven Glows Grotto-Heaven, it's gone!"
"Grotto-Heaven, gone?" Jiang Yuling was instantly thunderstruck, suffering a massive blow. She staggered back a few steps. "Then, then Master, do you still have money?"
"Master, I'm also bankrupt." Cai Youdao said, his head drooped, full of shame. "Master suffered severe injuries, and to control the injuries, I not only spent all my savings but also used yours... Now, my combat power is less than one-tenth of what it was, and I might not even be able to defeat an ordinary True Immortal Realm cultivator."
"I only left you the Immortal Scripture, the Immortal Artifact, and the storage ring..."
"Oh, and all those pretty clothes and belly bands in your storage ring, Master didn't touch them, I left them all for you..."
"You stinking..." Jiang Yuling was struck by lightning, clutching her head, her mind buzzing.
Just a moment ago, she thought her powerful and wealthy Master had come to pick her up, and she would finally be able to live the carefree life of a rich Little Immortal Lord, never again having to worry about money, just like in her previous life.
But in this instant, she was thrown back to her impoverished reality.
The ups and downs of life's excitement were truly unparalleled.
"Master, what exactly happened back then?" Jiang Yuling's tears rolled down, feeling incredibly difficult to accept.
"Since you don't remember, don't ask for now." Cai Youdao quickly said, "Our enemies are very powerful. For all these years, Master has been feigning madness and foolishness, living incognito while slowly searching for you. When you become a Saint Venerable one day, we'll figure out a way to get revenge!"
"You mean, we still have Saint Venerable-level enemies, eyeing us from behind?" Jiang Yuling's eyes widened, and a chill ran down her spine. "And you still expect me to go back and take revenge?"
"More than one, and their influence is vast..." Cai Youdao nodded gravely. "So, we must keep a low profile, develop cautiously, stay steady and don't rush. Revenge must be planned gradually~"
"I'm sorry, I don't know you." Jiang Yuling quickly returned the storage ring, the "Purple Glow Immortal Scripture," and the Purple Glow Immortal Sword to Cai Youdao, with a apologetic smile. "I was just joking with you. Actually, I'm not the reincarnation of Immortal Monarch Zixia at all. You can go ahead and continue looking for your disciple."
Then, before Cai Youdao could react, Jiang Yuling rushed over and hugged Wang Shoujie's thigh, rubbing her face against his waist like a cat, and coquettishly said, "Young Master Shoujie, I was just trying to amuse you and let you experience the feeling of a petty person getting what they want. Was my acting good? Was it genuine? Wasn't it surprising? Very exciting?"
Wang Shoujie withdrew his thigh, pushed her aside, and looked at her with a half-smile, "Still canceling the contract?"
"Cancel the contract? What are you talking about!" Jiang Yuling said indignantly, "Am I, Jiang Yuling, such a fickle person? I live for Young Master Shoujie, and I die for Young Master Shoujie. From now on, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west. If you tell me to warm your bed, I will absolutely not wear a stitch of clothing~~~"
"Little Shoujie? Old sister Tiange, hehe~" Wang Shoujie smiled very happily.
"Young Master Shoujie! I was wrong, just beat me to vent your anger. Sister Tiange~~~ You are the most imposing female True Immortal I have ever seen~"
"Alright, eat." Wang Shoujie waved his hand, too lazy to watch her clown around anymore. He sat down and began to eat hot pot, saying as he ate, "You two, master and disciple, eat your fill and then go to work. Do what you're supposed to do, and if you're lazy, you're fired."
"Yes, yes, yes, eat, eat." Cai Youdao also quickly shrunk his head and began to eat, while stuffing the immortal sword and other items back to Jiang Yuling, saying, "From now on, when you're outside, never call yourself 'Immortal Monarch Zixia,' and don't call me [Seven Glows Saint Venerable]. My name is Cai Youdao, and you're Jiang Yuling. We're just ordinary master and disciple. From now on, the two of us will work diligently and develop slowly~~~ Master will risk his life to raise you until you become a Saint Venerable."
"Master... I was wrong just now, I misunderstood you." Jiang Yuling felt somewhat touched by these words. "By the way, you said you were severely injured. Has your condition improved now?"
"It's stabilized, but I need to continuously take Ninth-Grade Life Return Pills to maintain it." Cai Youdao's expression was solemn. He suddenly remembered something and changed his mind. "By the way, my precious disciple, how much savings do you have on hand? It seems Master has run out of Revival Pills and needs to buy more."
"..." Jiang Yuling was instantly dumbfounded.
"It's fine if we don't buy it without money. Master can still hold on. At worst, my body will decline day by day, my lifespan will be damaged, and I'll be weak and cough blood..." Cai Youdao said with an indifferent expression.
"Wow~~~"
Jiang Yuling finally couldn't bear it and burst into tears.
"I, Jiang Yuling, what evil did I commit in my previous life~"
...
At the same time.
Shenwu World.
Great Qian Empire, Longzu County, Changning County, Changning Guard, Xinping Town.
This town, which could almost be called the most prosperous, lively, and densely populated in the Shenwu World, is now lined with tall buildings, bustling with traffic, and its population base has more than doubled compared to one hundred and fifty years ago.
With more people, many problems naturally arise.
Over the years, with the explosive growth of the population, the trend of people gathering in prosperous areas has become increasingly severe. As one of the economic centers, Xinping Town naturally attracted a large number of talents from both the Immortal and Demon Dynasties, as well as various other nations.
And the cultural and entertainment industry, initiated by the Wang Clan, has also seen tremendous development in the past one hundred and fifty years. Various small hand-copied books and shadow plays have blossomed, bringing in a large amount of funds for the Wang Clan.
Of course, such a massive industry, capable of generating huge economic benefits, would naturally not involve only the Wang Clan.
The small hand-copied books, which were popular only within the Wang Clan's sphere of influence years ago, have now spread throughout the entire Shenwu World. More and more people are participating in writing, gradually forming a huge industry.
The same goes for shadow plays.
After Wang Ningxi produced the first shadow play, more and more shadow plays began to appear. As the number of participating production teams increased, the shadow play industry also formed a complete economic chain, with upstream and downstream industries also flourishing.
Many popular small hand-copied books have even been adapted into shadow plays and brought to the screen.
And with the booming development of the industry, related problems also arose.
Due to the varying quality of production teams, many shadow plays and small hand-copied books were of rather average quality. Some even contained many negative value orientations, and some even attempted to incite people and cause trouble through this medium.
For this, the Wang Clan once had a headache.
However, now, these problems have all found solutions.
On Shoujie Avenue, a wide, tall building stands majestically, solemn and imposing. On the building's facade, the large characters [Xinping Governmental Affairs Center] are clear and striking.
This building is the core of power in Xinping Town. Its function is roughly equivalent to the former [Garrison Command]. Most of Xinping Town's government affairs are now processed centrally here.
On the government affairs navigation board at the entrance, a new government department sign has recently been hung. The sign is large, and the characters on it are quite prominent, reading - [General Directorate of Cultural and Entertainment Review], abbreviated as [Cultural Entertainment Division].
The Cultural Entertainment Division is located on the forty-ninth floor of the government affairs center, occupying an entire floor. As of now, the Cultural Entertainment Division has recruited approximately five hundred government personnel, and it is rumored that the total number will reach over two thousand once the framework is complete.
Here, every government official is busy, handling countless tasks.
Wang Baosheng, surrounded by attendant retainers and maidservants, ascended the cloud ladder with his hands clasped behind his back and stepped into the forty-ninth floor.
At nine years old, his steps were steady, each one seemingly measured with care, precise and imposing. He already vaguely possessed some of the gravitas of a superior.
As the sixth in line of succession to the Changning Wang Clan, Wang Baosheng understood the responsibilities and mission he needed to undertake from a young age.
Therefore, he studied diligently and cultivated with great dedication. Not long ago, he had just advanced to the Spirit Realm, breaking the record for the earliest advancement to the Spirit Realm in both the Immortal and Demon Dynasties, as well as the Wang Clan.
"Good morning, Director~" "Director!"
As he walked, everyone saluted respectfully.
But Wang Baosheng merely waved his hand casually and walked into his office. Beneath the wide, open glass curtain wall, his view was expansive, and his gaze was profound.
"Director."
At this moment, a young woman in a black and white professional suit, with wavy hair and high heels, walked in: "I'd like to report on the recent work."
Wang Baosheng glanced at her, his brow unconsciously furrowing slightly.
Long, beautiful legs in stockings and high heels, this was simply... challenging his bottom line.
However, he forcibly suppressed the urge to scold her. The reason was simple: this kind of professional women's wear system was a normal trend in Xinping Town, and even many female elders in the Wang Clan wore it.
Most importantly, the source of this aesthetic trend came from Ancestor Grandfather.
Last time, Brother Baoguang came back for a visit during his vacation and secretly told him this family anecdote. It was said that it also involved Ancestor Grandfather's unknown and mysterious first love.
Because of this, if Wang Baosheng dared to scold this female subordinate, it would be equivalent to scolding many Patriarchs in the family, or even scolding Ancestor Grandfather!
The consequence would inevitably be a severe beating from his father.
As soon as he thought of his father's excited expression when catching him making mistakes, Wang Baosheng felt that the affairs of the world were complex, and occasionally blending in was not necessarily bad.
"Tell me about it." Wang Baosheng said sternly with his hands behind his back.
"Our Cultural Entertainment Division has been established for less than three months. We have already solved thirty-nine cases of vulgar hand-copied books, confiscated two million nine hundred sixty thousand books, and cracked down on thirteen underground printing workshops... As for shadow plays, we have informed all production and distribution parties about our review system. All shadow plays, whether already released or not, must pass our review before they can be released..."
The woman quickly reported on the overall work, her logic clear and data detailed, evidently having done her homework thoroughly.
This work efficiency and capability made Wang Baosheng secretly nod.
After a moment, the woman finished her report. He nodded slightly, expressing his affirmation: "Deputy Director Ouyang, you've done well. Please continue to strive for improvement."
This woman was named [Ouyang Nanyan], the legitimate second daughter of Xinping's Fifth-Rank Ouyang Clan. She once passed the entrance exam for the Wang Clan Intermediate Clan School with excellent grades and continued to graduate from the Wang Clan Advanced Clan School with outstanding results, receiving various scholarships and resource subsidies. Among the numerous outstanding graduates of the Wang Clan, she was quite a celebrity.
After graduation, she also worked in various industries and achieved very good results, and her resume was very impressive.
Recently, hearing that Wang Baosheng had established the Cultural Entertainment Division, she voluntarily applied and, after defeating a group of colleagues, became one of Wang Baosheng's deputies.
After finishing her report, Ouyang Nanyan's serious expression finally relaxed, and she smiled, "Junior Brother Baosheng, I heard you made Shentu Poetry-Lotus cry many times? She was my classmate back in the Wang Clan Advanced Clan School~"
"Mr. Shentu was too lazy and unmotivated. After several remonstrances from me, he has finally repented and corrected his ways, and has already begun preparing for postgraduate exams." Wang Baosheng said seriously, "It seems my efforts were not in vain."
"Having a student like you, Junior Brother Baosheng, really makes me happy for Shihe."
As soon as she thought of Shentu Poetry-Lotus's despairing expression, Ouyang Nanyan couldn't stop smiling, and unknowingly, she laughed so hard that her body swayed.
Wang Baosheng frowned slightly and suggested seriously, "Deputy Director Ouyang, please address me by my position during work. Also, please maintain a serious attitude. If possible, change your attire..."
"It's already off-duty." Ouyang Nanyan smiled and lifted the watch on her slender wrist. "Junior Brother Baosheng is known for being punctual."
"Deputy Director Ouyang..." Wang Baosheng frowned, hands behind his back.
"Call me Senior Sister." Ouyang Nanyan raised her eyebrows, "It's after work hours now, don't be impolite."
"Senior Sister Ouyang!" Wang Baosheng quickly changed his address, "How about we work overtime today? I still have a lot to discuss with you."
"New-era women reject overtime and reject involution." Ouyang Nanyan smiled and waved her finger. "If Junior Brother has anything to say, come to the Cultural Entertainment Division early tomorrow."
"I have to attend Clan School during the day..." Wang Baosheng frowned, "I still have many things to do."
If it weren't for Ouyang Nanyan's outstanding work ability, gradually becoming his right-hand woman, he would really, really want to fire her.
"Alright, then I'll give you a chance to treat me to a meal." Ouyang Nanyan smiled brightly, "During dinner, I'll listen to your complaints."
"I still have to go back and pay my respects to my mother and aunt..." Wang Baosheng's schedule was disrupted, and he felt an indescribable discomfort.
"Find a maidservant to report back." Ouyang Nanyan pulled Wang Baosheng's chubby little arm and turned to leave. "Let's go, let's go. I heard Jade Reflection Restaurant just opened a new branch, and the food is very authentic. I don't have enough money, but I've been craving it for a long time."
Wang Baosheng struggled, but with his Spirit Realm cultivation, he couldn't possibly break free from the Heaven-Human Realm Ouyang Nanyan.
He couldn't help but be extremely vigilant and said seriously, "Senior Sister Ouyang, you're not interested in me and want to date me, are you? I refu—"
"Slap!"
Wang Baosheng was flicked on the head.
"Are you kidding... You're a little kid who just reaches my chest, do you think I'd be interested in you?" Ouyang Nanyan said playfully, "But your father, on the other hand, is a different story. If Young Master Fugui just beckoned to me, I'd immediately pounce."
Wang Baosheng's eyes widened, and he was stunned.
I thought of you as a senior sister, but you actually tried to become my aunt?
