Chapter 1053: Heart of Zen

Jiang Yi had a deep impression of this pair of twins. If it was a world-class beauty, Jiang Yi would not have bothered that much. After all, he had seen many beautiful women. However, this pair of twins was identical. That time, he could have easily gotten them as long as he had agreed to it. Hence, Jiang Yi definitely still remembered them.

He had rejected the offer at that time. He had so many things to attend to and did not have time to fool around. Jiang Yi also did not want to harm the two girls. At this moment, he was hesitant, too. He knew that he was a sentimentalist and had a soft spot towards women.

What a femme fatale; beautiful women were also the easiest at causing trouble. Everyone wanted beautiful women; hence, it was easy for conflict to occur over them.

I’m not going to care so much!

Jiang Yi steeled his heart and turned to enter the secret cultivation room. He had so many things on his plate and could die at any moment. There were so many unjust things happening in the world; how was he able to tackle all of them? Saving the two ladies would definitely bring trouble for him.

“Wu-wu, my lords please stop hitting!”

“My lords, please directly kill us instead. The Tang Clan had saved the two of us that year. Even if you guys kill us now, we will never bear a grudge against the Tang Clan!”

Jiang Yi had just entered the secret cultivation room when Tang Xue and Tang Yan’s cries for mercy and help rang out again. Jiang Yi slowed down as his face darkened. The housekeeper of the secret cultivation room was good at reading facial expressions. He hurriedly instructed one of the guards. “Hurry and tell Housekeeper He to seal that cabin. We do not want our guests to be disturbed. Also, tell him that I have said that if the two girls would not comply, start punishing them heavily.”

“En?”

Jiang Yi’s hearing was very sharp. He had heard every word the housekeeper had said. He waved a hand at the housekeeper, and the latter immediately came forth smiling. The housekeeper cupped his hands and said, “My Lord, please instruct.”

Jiang Yi currently looked like a well-dressed young master, and his aura was not ordinary. Although from appearances, it seemed like he was only at the sixth level of the Heaven Monarch Realm, the housekeeper was very sharp and was extremely courteous.

Jiang Yi’s hand held a fan as he pointed towards that cabin. His brows frowned as he asked, ‘What is going on with those two girls?”

The housekeeper replied, “My apologies, my lord. Those two girls do not know what’s good for them and have disturbed you. I have sent men to settle this matter.”

“That is not what I mean.”

Jiang Yi’s eyes flashed coldly. With his voice suddenly carrying weight, he said, “I mean what is going on with them?”

“Oh, okay.”

The housekeeper was taken aback by Jiang Yi’s aura. He said honestly. “My lord, these are two maidservants of the Tang Clan. Not long ago, the third elder of the Li Clan from the Crippled Heaven Region took a fancy to the two. That time, he came in a hurry and thus did not ask for the two of them immediately. After that came someone that sought out one of the Tang Clan elders to ask for the two. The two girls had heard rumors and refused to comply. Housekeeper He is now disciplining the two. I had just come from there. However, Housekeeper He had forgotten to activate the restrictions, hence the disturbances you hear. It is my fault, my lord.”

“The Crippled Heaven Region?”

Jiang Yi did not know much about the East Imperial Continent. He did not know where the Crippled Heaven Region was; neither had he heard of the Li Clan. He asked, “Where is the Crippled Heaven Region? Is the Li Clan very famous? What rumors were there?”

“...”

The housekeeper was a little lost for words. However, he patiently explained: “The Crippled Heaven Region is east of the Yin Clan’s four regions. The Li Clan rules the Crippled Heaven Region. However, their Clan Head is not very strong; he is only a five-star martial artist. The third elder of the Li Clan is also only a three-star martial artist. Nonetheless, their clan is considerably well-known on the East Imperial Continent.

“That is because the Crippled Heaven Region has a special treasure called the Crippled Heaven Bamboo. It is a spirit herb that nourishes one’s soul spirit. This herb can only be found in the Crippled Heaven Region. Furthermore, the current Yin Emperor’s wife, the mother of Yin Ruobing, is a disciple of the Li Clan. Hence, the Tang Clan also wants to show the third elder of the Li Clan some face.”

“As for the rumors, I will not hide it from Your Lordship. The third elder of the Li Clan is a known old sex fiend. More than ten years ago, an incident reverberated throughout the continent. A great clan had eliminated one of the smaller clans. All the women from this small clan, a total of more than three hundred people, were tied on the city gate and were raped. After that, they were all killed. There was even a thirteen-year-old girl. All this... was the work of the third elder.”

“What?”

Jiang Yi’s face changed. His eyes were filled with a murderous look. Such an inhumane old fart was still alive and kicking? However, considering that Yin Ruobing’s mother was from the Li Clan, Jiang Yi understood. With such a strong family connection, who would dare to rifle the Li Clan?”

Huff-huff...

Jiang Yi closed his eyes and exhaled deeply a few times. There was an internal struggle going on inside him. If he did not know Tang Xue and Tang Yan and had not met them before, he would definitely not intervene. If the two had agreed to be married to the third elder, he would also not care anymore.

The problem was that he was here presently, and the two were resisting bitterly. If he did not intervene, could he live with himself? Would he have nightmares when he slept?

If he were to intervene, what could he do? If he angered the third elder of the Li Clan, what would happen then? The Li Clan had the backing of the Yin Clan; just a few hours ago, Qi Tianchen had just reminded Jiang Yi not to anger the Zhan Clan or the Yin Clan.

Jiang Yi closed his eyes and stood inside his cabin for a whole five minutes. Finally, he opened his eyes and looked outside. He had made up his mind. He was going to find a way to save the two poor ladies.

The Buddha Thearch’s cultivation of the heart of zen focused on following one’s heart and acting as one willed.

Since Jiang Yi had also cultivated the heart of zen, he had always acted based on his instincts. He did not want himself to have any regrets. There were also not that many things that one could hesitate about in life. If one did not follow his heart, what meaning was there to life?

“My lord, my lord, what are you doing?”

The housekeeper saw that Jiang Yi was heading to the other cabins and hurriedly came over to inquire. Jiang Yi steeled himself and released the aura of the peak stage of the Heaven Monarch Realm. Jiang Yi said coldly to the housekeeper, “I want to seek an audience with the Consecrator. I have something to discuss with them.”

“The peak stage of the Heaven Monarch Realm?”

The housekeeper was stunned. Jiang Yi aura was extremely strong. He also looked quite young. To be able to attain the peak stage of the Heaven Monarch Realm and hide his aura? Could he be a disciple of a great family clan? Furthermore, Jiang Yi’s airs were not ordinary. This was not something that could be faked. The housekeeper considered Jiang Yi’s request, cupped his hands, and said, “My lord, this way please.”

Jiang Yi nodded and continued walking forward. He walked past the cabin that Tang Xue and Tang Yan were being held in. He stopped and said, “Ask the men inside to stop torturing the two ladies.”

After Jiang Yi spoke, he headed straight to the first cabin, looking as if he knew the place like the back of his hand. The housekeeper summoned a guard and gave him instructions before hurrying to keep up with Jiang Yi. The housekeeper walked to the first cabin and knocked to relay the message.

Creak-creak!

The big door of the cabin was swiftly opened. The housekeeper smiled and stretched out a hand. “My lord, Consecrator Tang Ming awaits your arrival.”

Jiang Yi walked in boldly, taking big steps as he entered. An elderly man was wearing a splendid-looking robe and sitting in the main seat. Next to him were two housekeepers waiting on him. Jiang Yi glanced around, cupped his hands, and said, “Yi San greets Consecrator Tang Ming.”

“Oh? It’s Young Master Yi.”

Consecrator Tang Ming and the housekeeper exchanged glances. Their smiles became slightly stressed. Jiang Yi had not said that he was paying his respects and had not called Tang Ming a lord. Jiang Yi’s mannerisms were very audacious. All these actually showed that Jiang Yi’s background was not to be taken lightly. He was not afraid to offend a consecrator from the Tang Clan. The most important thing was that his family name was Yi. Tang Ming naturally did not dare to be sloppy.

“All of you, leave me!”

A maidservant served some tea and snacks, and with a wave of Tang Ming’s hand, the three housekeepers and the maidservant took their leave. Tang Ming asked Jiang Yi to take a seat before asking, “What does Young Master Yi like to discuss with me? Please speak your mind. The Tang Clan loves to befriend martial experts from all around.”

Jiang Yi did not stand on formality. He openly pointed at the cabin that Tang Xue and Tang Yan were in, saying, “To be frank, I have come for those two ladies. I have taken a liking to the two of them. I would like to ask Consecrator Tang to offer a price. Everything can be discussed. Do not worry if the Li Clan comes to make trouble, it will be on my head.”

“Keke!”

Elder Tang Ming smiled lightly, shook his head, and said firmly. “Young Master Li, you want Tang Xue and Tang Yan? If this was half a year ago, this would not be an issue. Now... it cannot be done! Even if you are willing to pay an exorbitant price, it would still be a no. My apologies.”
