Why are the Talismans I Drawn Banned Again?!

Chapter 193: Chapter 188: Jiang Cheng, Do You Know Your Crime?_2

Ding Guangming thought to himself, “Cheng hasn’t settled down either! No, that’s not right, Cheng always stays outside on Saturdays and Sundays, and he often takes away meals for two from the cafeteria. Rumors say he has rented a place outside, could it be…”

Song Junsheng, knowing that Jiang Cheng was low-key, did not reveal the number of Talismans he ordered to Zhu Hongcai.

The quality requirement for the Talismans ordered by Jiang Cheng was quite high, so the price was not cheap either.

The disposable ones from the Ocean Talisman Studio were priced at 20 Spirit Stones each, and the Reusable Type was even more expensive, at about 80 Spirit Stones each.

If Jiang Cheng were unscrupulous and sold these Talismans for double the price, he would make a profit of eight hundred thousand!

No matter how one looked at it, it wasn’t a small sum of money.

Song Junsheng sighed silently in his heart; he felt that the gap between him and Jiang Cheng was growing wider and wider.

Previously, he felt that his Talisman drawing skill was slightly inferior to Jiang Cheng’s.

Later on, he felt that the gap between his Talisman drawing and Jiang Cheng’s was at least the difference of a second-order Talisman Master like Cui Zhifei.

Now, he felt that Talisman drawing might be the smallest gap between him and Jiang Cheng.

When Jiang Cheng was earning eight hundred thousand, he was still living on the eight hundred Spirit Stones his family gave him for living expenses.

“Junsheng, should we inform the Counselor? I feel that even if Cheng was really busy before, he would ask for leave from the teacher. Today he didn’t ask for leave; could something have happened?” Ding Guangming pondered.

“That’s unlikely. Jiang Cheng is usually very cautious. What could possibly happen to him? He’s not Zhu Hongcai after all.”

Zhu Hongcai: What? You had to step on me too, huh?

After careful consideration, Song Junsheng still said, “To be safe, I’ll ask the class leader to send a message to the Counselor. Just say that Jiang Cheng did not ask for leave and is suddenly skipping class.”

When Jiang Cheng was arrested, he was in the only remaining research institute of Miaodan Workshop, discussing the latest Elixirs that Miaodan Workshop was preparing to launch with Shen Menghan.

During the most critical period for Miaodan Workshop, Shen Menghan followed Jiang Cheng’s advice and even sold the family estate, securing a dozen passionate young second-order Pill Masters, and almost all the Certified Pills related to female cultivators for the new Miaodan Workshop.

This preservation was the confidence that allowed the new Miaodan Workshop to immediately engage in the research and development of new Elixirs after Jiang Cheng invested.

“Simply enhancing the effects of detoxification and Beauty Preserving is not enough; it fundamentally has no difference from the old Beauty Preserving Pill,” Jiang Cheng issued a sharp critique of Miaodan Workshop’s new Beauty Preserving Pill.

“Then how should we improve it?” Shen Menghan asked.

Jiang Cheng frowned and pondered, while Shen Menghan silently watched him with her chin rested on her hands.

Suddenly, Jiang Cheng looked up and said, “Yes, just like that.”

“Like what?”

“Like you.”

“Me?”

“Yes, that kind of subtle smile, with eyes sparkling brightly.”

Shen Menghan’s eyes widened, and she quickly lowered her head.

Oh no, was my expression that obvious? Did he notice?

Jiang Cheng gave a sharp critique, “We can add some ingredients that brighten and refresh the eyes, along with something for aiding sleep, relieving stress, making one feel light, and reducing pain and fatigue. When one’s mood improves, their mental state and appearance naturally get better.”

Shen Menghan, with an expressionless face: Ah, I think I somewhat understand Yue Linger now.

“Can it be done?” Jiang Cheng asked.

Shen Menghan came back to her senses and said, “Yes! But the price will…”

“The price doesn’t matter, as long as we upgrade the packaging, the price is not a problem.”

“All right then.”

At this point, Shen Menghan had no other choice but to listen to Jiang Cheng.

Otherwise, what could she do? All her leverage was in his hands. But did he actually look or not?

“Jiang Cheng, that Memory Sphere, did you look at it?” Shen Menghan quietly asked.

Jiang Cheng said, “Didn’t you say it was very important? So I didn’t look. But I’ve put it in a very safe place. No one will find it.?pointing to Liu Qing’s bedroom?”

“Oh.”

Shen Menghan felt a mix of relief and disappointment.

“Which one of you is Jiang Cheng?”

Several constables strode into the research room of the Miaodan Workshop.

“I am Jiang Cheng.”

“Good, you are suspected of causing death to a member of the royal family by negligence, and we ask you to come to the government office for questioning, take him away.”

The arrest officer waved his hand grandly, and several constables swarmed in.

In her panic, Shen Menghan yelled, “Someone help! I dare you to touch him!”

At that moment, Miaodan Workshop had more than ten second-order Pill Masters.

In both number and Cultivation Level, they absolutely overwhelmed the constables.

The arrest officer’s expression grew stern, about to warn them, when he heard Jiang Cheng speak before him.

“According to the laws of Great Liang, violently resisting arrest involves the crime of obstructing official duties and can be sentenced to up to three years of prison,” Jiang Cheng spoke like a frontier of the law, champion of legal enlightenment.

“Didn’t expect you to be someone in the know,” said the arrest officer with a chuckle.

Jiang Cheng then said to Shen Menghan, “Just let the President of the Talisman Master Association know, that would be helping me enough.”

Shen Menghan grabbed Jiang Cheng’s hand, her emotions running high, “Jiang Cheng!”

Jiang Cheng’s face turned pale—because Shen Menghan, at the ninth level of Qi cultivation, had a rather strong grip, it hurt him so much that his face turned white.

“Don’t get agitated, and definitely don’t cry. In front of so many employees, if you show weakness, how can you be a boss? Rest assured, I haven’t broken any laws. Unless something unexpected happens, I should be able to return home before dark.”

The constable taking him away tugged at his ear and said, “Are you done dawdling? You can still visit the prison even after being locked up, they won’t behead you any time soon. Take him away, take away!”

The Ministry of Justice.

Under the “Bright Mirror Hung High” signboard, there was an impressive broad desk in the hall.

Instead of one chair behind the desk, there were three, representing a joint trial by the three departments.

In the center sat Pang Yuan, the Minister of The Ministry of Justice, while Wang Weien from The Ministry of Punishments and Wei Chenhan from The Censorate sat on either side.

Below the three were the historians responsible for record-keeping and the Chief Clerk in charge of documenting case details.

Further behind them stood the government office’s staff wielding long staves.
