s that Wen Lianmu probably learned through some channel that Jiang Wang's lifespan was deficient.Once Jiang Wang had fully mastered the divine abilities within his inner sanctum, Wen Lianmu would cert...After a period of absence, Tian Chang's status within the family seemed to have improved significantly.

Jiang Wang remembered, when he led the team in the Hidden Star World, not everyone obeyed him. Now, he had trained those beside him to be like grandchildren.

Of course, with Tian Chang's character and strength, it would be no problem to consolidate his position and suppress a few people. In the hidden star world, he is still in a period of韜光養晦 (being discreet and reserving one's strength).

What puzzled Jiang Wang was why he had also come to Haidiao Island.

...connecting this back to the sea monster issue, connecting it to how Chen Zhitao, the eldest disciple of the Fishing Sea Tower, has been running around... lately, there seems to be some kind of change happening in the nearby island groups. It feels like a storm is brewing, the wind is picking up, and things are about to get intense.

Jiang Wang was most concerned about whether it would affect his plan to rescue Zhu Biqiong.

A middle-aged man walking behind and to the left of Tian Chang, was probably scolded harshly by him. He had anger in his heart.

As soon as he arrived, Jiang Wang said: "Don't block the way!"

Ozawa-shi's business at sea was quite successful. They had two islands under their control, stronger than several other clans. One of them, Chongjia Island, was exchanged with the Chongxuan family for ten years.

Even the people staying at the Diuhailou wouldn't stay in inns on Huai Island.

So, in this place, they're probably truly fearless. They can really act like nobody's business.

Jiang Wang smiled nonchalantly and even took the initiative to step aside.

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

He needn't quarrel with Tian Chang's dog, because strictly speaking, Tian Chang was now his person.

Although he had never taken the initiative to contact Tian Chang since Qixinglou, it wasn't out of necessity. The secret of Chaosin Blade, and the massacre in the Hidden Star World, were enough for him to hold Tian Chang's life and death in his hands.

Tian Chang's gaze fell on Jiang Wang.

"Brother Jiang," he said, with a polite but distant manner.

This kind of distance is normal, because on the surface, he only met Jiang Wang twice in Qixing Valley, and the two had no other interactions.

They weren't familiar with each other, but he knew Jiang Wang's reputation, so he was polite.

Jiang Wang still had a nonchalant smile on his face, but he only lightly nodded in response.

This is the arrogance of a proud genius.

Unrecognized, he could remain amicable. Once recognized, however, he couldn't appear too weak or submissive, like bowing to the Tian clan.

Tian Chang reached out and patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder, who was seething with anger: "You're being very rude."

This middle-aged man was so frightened that he immediately trembled. He hurriedly faced Jiang Wang and bowed repeatedly, apologizing: "The villain has blinded his eyes and bumped into a distinguished person. Please punish me."

"It's fine." Jiang Wang raised his hand: "We are all from Qi. When we go out, we should support each other. There is no reason to fight amongst ourselves."

"I've learned something."

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

Tian nodded in agreement, then continued walking forward. The group of people naturally followed behind him.

>

...While Jiang Wang climbed upward alone.

Of course, this time no one dared to let him dodge. Instead, they all crowded aside, leaving enough room for Jiang Wang.

Jiang Wang saw Tian Chang, and he also saw the ordinary, taciturn middle-aged man behind him, Tian He.

His smile was already very genuine, and now it felt even lighter.

When dragons and snakes rise together, clouds and winds converge.

It's really fun to have so many interesting people here.

The bright moon hung in the sky, and this night was very peaceful.

The gentle tide ebbs and flows, soothing the soul.

The window was open, and a masked man with a long sword at his waist flew in naturally, landing in the center of the room, looking straight at the bed.

Jiang Wang was sitting cross-legged on the bed.

This text is empty.

“You’re late,” he said.

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

The masked man removed his mask, revealing a grim expression. It could only be Tian Chang.

"I came to see you, I couldn't be seen by anyone. So I waited a while longer."

"It's fine." Jiang Wang smiled faintly. "I don't mind."

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

When they met during the day, he reminded Tian Chang that Qi people needed to look out for each other. Tian Chang was a smart person, there was no reason he wouldn't understand. Unless he wanted to pretend to be stupid. And Jiang Wang certainly wasn't lacking in ways to deal with someone pretending to be stupid.

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

“What do you have to say” asked Tian Chang.

He is a very intelligent person and would not do foolish things.

Since the last Seven Star Secret Realm ended, Jiang Wang had never contacted him. He didn't ask for any information or resources, nor did he make any requests. Of course, he wouldn't think that Jiang Wang had forgotten him.

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

Jiang Wang had no demands, it was only because the time hadn't come yet. He wasn't able to give much.

He knew what he would choose, so he wanted to know what Jiang Wang's choice would be.

He came tonight with his sword drawn. If he could kill Jiang Wang, he would not hesitate. But to this day, although he has entered the inner court, the gap in strength between him and Jiang Wang has only widened.

So he was very obedient. Just like how he listened to Tian Anping's words.

Of course, Jiang Wang didn't expect loyalty from such people. As long as he could always maintain the suppression of their power and keep hold of their Achilles' heel, it would be enough.

"No rush." Jiang Wang said, "It's been a long time. We should catch up and get to know each other again."

“Certainly,” said Tian Chang.

It's called "getting to know each other," but he knew, he only had the qualification to be "known." He was very self-aware.

"I remember you before, you seemed much kinder. Your expressions weren't usually like this..." Jiang Wang paused, thinking of a suitable word: "Cold."

"Do you know what the Valley of Lost Hearts is" Tian Chang asked.

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

Though it was a rhetorical question, the answer had already been given. In that place, survival meant some changes had permanently taken hold, whether one wished for them or not.

"Jiang Wang nodded to show understanding, then took the initiative to greet him: "I remember you have a friend from the Gongyang family. Why haven't I seen him today"

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

"He died in the Valley of Lost Hearts." Tian Chang said very calmly.

There was no trace of resentment in his expression. It was as if he were talking about a complete stranger and something utterly unimportant.

But Jiang Wang remembered, that Gongyang Lu, the master of formations, was the most trusted person of Tian Chang at that time.

"I'm not going to say condolences, you don't need comforting."

>

Jiang Wang organized his words and said, "Tell me about yourself. What's the situation now"

“As you can see, I’m doing alright now,” Tian Chang said. “Tian Anping gave me a considerable amount of power, letting me handle some overseas matters.”

"Tian Anping" Jiang Wang felt a little confused.

He thought that Tian Chang's "rise" was supported by his confrontation with Tian Anping. But unexpectedly, the people who supported Tian Chang were also Tian Anping.

He remembered it was Tian Anping who had put Tian Chang into the Valley of Broken Hearts to die. At that time, he felt very sorry when he heard the news, after all, it was his hard-earned "insider," and he had great potential.

A normal person shouldn't reuse someone who has tortured them. Tian Anping doesn't seem to worry about the danger of raising a tiger, or the fear of revenge at all.

"In the Valley of Despair, I almost went insane," Tian Chang twitched the corner of his mouth. "Perhaps that made him feel closer"

I've been tortured beyond measure, and even the people I trusted most have died in the Valley of Lost Hearts.

At this moment, he still had the mood to be humorous, joking that Tian Anping was crazy...

This is amazing.

What's truly remarkable isn't just his ability to find joy amidst hardship. It's that he hasn't been completely crushed by Tian Anping's dominance. He doesn't show the same level of fear towards Tian Anping as he usually does. He is afraid, but he faces it.

This is the basis on which he is qualified to be enemies with Tian Anping.
