Girl, I'll Teach You Cultivation

Chapter 265

Walking on water was nothing to Jiang Xiu. He entered Wang Xintong's courtyard and casually sat on the rattan chair as if it were his own house. Wang Xintong pouted playfully, "Do you want me to tell you the important events again?"

She sat down opposite to Jiang Xiu then said, "Jiangnan's annexure is already done. We've already taken over 70% of the businesses owned by the people who died. The total profit is over 600 billion. Jiangnan's economy is soaring up rapidly and this affair didn't bring any slump in the economy. After annexing, I already resold some heavy industry factories as those assets were too huge…"

Jiang Xiu waved his hand, "Tell me what I want to hear."

"The Long family came looking for you. They want to seek shelter under your name. Ever since Heaven's Gate was destroyed, the Long family hasn't had an easy time in China and received a lot of suppression."

Jiang Xiu shook his head, "I don't care about the Long family's matters."

"Tell me something interesting."

"When you went missing, a prophet in U.S. claimed that this world is going to experience a huge change, that it was showing signs of returning to its primordial state. Naturally, this wasn't due to a fallback in science and technology but rather because humans are regaining their ancestral form. The world's primordial state has been expressed in the Holy Bible, the Dao Scriptures as well as the Buddhist Scriptures."

"Some time ago, an American Indian experienced a variation. He gained the ability to fly in the sky. He was just the first. After that, several people began to gain supernatural abilities. They can easily do what martial artists have spent their entire lifetime to achieve. Europe and America believed that this was due to them regaining their ancestral form and that humans are descendants of God. Therefore, they believe these people who appeared are divinity users."

Jiang Xiu recalled King Alex's words. A world of neither Yin nor Yang. He also recalled the mountain which had baselessly appeared from underground in Ha City. The fishes in the pool were jumping in and out of the water cheerfully while the sunlight passed through the tree leaves, making the water surface shine with a resplendent glow. He sighed, "In other words, the entire world is doing what Li Bodhi had done?"

It's just that back then, what Li Bodhi had done went against the will of heavens, but now, what the world was doing conformed with the heavenly law.

Wang Xintong couldn't make sense of his words, "Eh? What did you say?"

"Nothing. Continue speaking…"

"After this divinity user appeared, a few demigods of U.S. went to find him and understand the situation but they suffered a fierce resistance. They had fought the American Indian together but were defeated by him easily. This really shocked the entire world. After this, another divinity user appeared in Europe, but was easily defeated by a European demigod. It seems like there's a difference in power between these divinity users and a huge gap exists between some of them."

"The U.S. began to research regarding this immediately and some European financial groups have also started investing into such research. Soon after, our army was also reformed and a revision was made in the areas which need protection. All the elite races of China have also begun to pour funds into genetic research so they can gain their ancestral form again."

Jiang Xiu interrupted her, "Take the Long family in and annex them into your Wang family's martial artists. Also, notify Bodhi Gene to change their name into Heaven Treading Palace and admit divinity users into the palace then proceed with genetic research."

Wang Xintong's expression warped, "So a new age is really arriving?"

"Maybe! Did a girl called Xie Ting or someone called Xie Sanxian comes to find me?" His eyes flickered with a tranquil gleam. If a new world was indeed arriving, it'd be the world of the Holy Woman of the desert city, she was the origin of all this. She'd also have the answer behind their Fire God's sudden disappearance because the world they were located in back then wasn't their original world.

The person whom Jiang Xiu had saved from the river wasn't Xie Ting but rather the Holy Woman which was described in their writings. He felt it was strange that Xie Ting was calling him Big Brother Jiang Xiu all of a sudden.

Did she know me before?

Of course, it's also possible that she might've inherited Xie Ting's memory and that she held him as a big brother in the depths of her heart.

Wang Xintong said, "I'll go check the visitors' record. After the battle with Heaven's Gate, many people came to look for you so I made my secretary record all their details. You can take a look at it and decide yourself about whom to meet."

Jiang Xiu nodded then said, "Right. Transfer the Cheng Conglomerate back to Cheng Hanlin. Some things should be returned back."

"Okay. It's just a small estate company anyways. In fact, even that Myriad Base project is a small-scale project with low profits but they actually created so much trouble over it."

"Is there anything else?"

Wang Xintong revealed an alluring expression in her eyes, "In the time you were gone, I learned a new type of dance. Shall I dance for you?"

Jiang Xiu wore his usual indifferent face when he heard this, but a rush of blood had gone up to his head, making a bit excited. "How about later? My mother went to get my phone repaired so she'll be returning soon."

"Oh!"

Wang Xintong bit her lips, making a disappointed face.

Jiang Xiu got up to leave. Wang Xintong's gaze was fixed on his back, she felt a little grieved, but he actually stopped walking then extended his hand towards her, "Let me feel your pulse."

Wang Xintong didn't understand why he was asking her to do it, but she stretched her hand towards him, "You know medicine?"

Jiang Xiu didn't say anything and checked her pulse.

He naturally wasn't checking her condition but was instead checking if she possessed spiritual vessels. Those so-called divinity users were bound to have some kind of divine artifact on them or have spiritual vessels or might even possess some special divine race characteristics.

"How is it?"

Wang Xintong blinked her eyes, looking at Jiang Xiu with expectation.

"Mhm!"

Jiang Xiu mummed then turned back without explaining anything to her. He walked on the water surface and returned back to his home, leaving behind a confused Wang Xintong.

"Did it go well?"

Lin Yueling returned back after 30 minutes. It wasn't feasible to repair the cell phone, so the service shop had transferred the data into a new phone which she bought for Jiang Xiu.

"The matter is already settled. The documents will reach Cheng Hanlin today."

"That's good then." Lin Yueling was satisfied with her son's actions. "Right. Your grandfather will send someone here soon, they just called me."

"Will you call Mayor Gu?" Lin Yueling asked.

He held over 600 billion of Jiangnan's economy in hands right now. Just a single year's GDP of Jiangnan was 2 trillion, so this amount was pretty considerable. His words held no lesser weight than Mayor Gu's towards the Diaoyutai.

If he wanted to help, he could do it pretty easily, but Jiang Xiu had no intentions to support the Lin family. If he had to make a choice, he'd choose to help Gu Dezhi.

The doorbell rung just at this time.

"Uncle Xian must've come." Lin Yueling said happily. She went to answer the door and discovered a man with a smile on his face there. Jiang Xiu had seen this man in his previous life but didn't remember his name.

"Yueling!"

Uncle Xian's hair was a little grey, and he had bags hanging under his eyes, but he had a healthy figure. He was Old Man Lin's personal secretary and acted as the Lin family's manager right now. After staying at the Lin family all his life, he had become half-a-member of the Lin family and also considered himself as a part of the Lin family.

"This must be your child, right? He has grown up."

He sized up Jiang Xiu and frowned when he saw the apathetic expression on his face. He couldn't be considered as just a servant of the Lin family. He was akin to a 3^rd ranked court minister, an amazing person who wouldn't just act for anything.

"Uncle Xian, please take a seat!"

He understood Lin Yueling's circumstances. In her early years, Jiang Yi had suffered through misfortune, and she had gone through bitter days. He wasn't expecting her to make a comeback in her life at this point. She even had such a lavish villa, and her son was studying at the Imperial University.

"Why did Father send you over? Did he want you to tell me something?"

Lin Yueling acted quite politely towards her elder.

"Nothing much. He just sent me to see how you are. You've come to the Imperial Capital after so many years but still haven't returned to the family, so the old father, as well as the lady, are both worried."

He targeted the softness in Lin Yueling's heart with just a few words, making tears well up in her eyes.

"Are they healthy?"

"They are."

Jiang Xiu sneered at this act. He already understood what angle the Lin family was going to play. If Jiang Yi hadn't made a comeback or didn't have any ties to Mayor Gu, the Lin family would've never even spared a glance to their family. And now, they were hypocritically saying they are worried about her and what not as if they had deep emotions for her, making Lin Yueling bawl.

Jiang Xiu had some understanding of the Lin family. In fact, 10 years ago, after Old Man Lin withdrew from the scene, the Lin family was unable to match the Jiang family and as there weren't any remarkable talents in the next generation, their standing slowly dropped among the elite families.
