Chapter 333: Chapter 253: It’s Actually Not a Joke (Additional 1k, Plus Monthly Ticket Bonus Chapter)_3
 

Liuye changed his argument and said, “Junior Sister herself said she no longer likes Yinsong, that scoundrel.”

Jiang Cheng followed up with Liuye’s argument, saying, “Let’s assume Master Yunbai truly no longer likes Master Yinsong. In that case, you should not stop the delivery of the letter. If she no longer likes him, how could she possibly be swayed by Master Yinsong’s letter? Moreover, this is just a letter about official matters, unrelated to romantic feelings.”

Liuye was completely dumbfounded after hearing this.

He couldn’t figure out what Jiang Cheng was up to.

No matter what argument he put forward, this young man could lead the conversation back to delivering the letter, each time with very sound reasons and substantial evidence, as if not delivering the letter were a great injustice.

Liuye realized that he was no match for this young man. “Fine, even if you make sense, I’ll tell you the truth. The matter of Junior Sister was decided by the eldest senior brother. My word doesn’t count. Eldest senior brother said, ‘Junior Sister is in seclusion, not seeing outsiders.’ You understand what I mean, right?”

Jiang Cheng asked, “Is it possible for me to meet the eldest senior brother of the peak?”

“That will depend on the eldest senior brother’s wishes.”

“Please help me get an introduction, senior.”

Liuye shook his head, “Ah, I am too busy.”

Jiang Cheng was unapologetic, “Then I will have to find the eldest senior brother of Mingyang Peak myself.”

Liuye had never met someone as impertinent as Jiang Cheng.

A normal person would have left by now, but Jiang Cheng shamelessly loitered all over Mingyang Peak.

Liuye held his status as a senior, so it was not appropriate to take action against a junior like Jiang Cheng. But without him acting, Jiang Cheng wouldn’t leave and kept asking around the peak about the whereabouts of the eldest senior brother.

Finally, Jiang Cheng found Master Baochu, the eldest senior brother of Mingyang Peak.

Jiang Cheng bowed politely to Master Baochu, explained his purpose, and said he was there specifically to deliver a letter from his sect.

Master Baochu’s response was the same as Master Liuye’s. He said, “Junior Sister has gone into seclusion and is temporarily not seeing outsiders.”

Jiang Cheng appealed to Master Baochu’s emotions and reason, explaining the importance of delivering the letter and the various possibilities if it were not a genuine letter, but instead Master Yinsong using his position for personal reasons.

Master Liuye listened on the side and nodded repeatedly.

This did not mean he agreed with Jiang Cheng’s words, but simply because he heard exactly the same arguments from Jiang Cheng before.

After carefully listening to Jiang Cheng’s points, Master Baochu said somewhat puzzled, “Junior Sister has gone into seclusion and is not seeing outsiders.”

Thinking Master Baochu did not understand, Jiang Cheng used metaphors, comparisons, metonymy, and personification to vividly describe the cause, process, and results of delivering the letter to him.

After listening, Master Baochu stated, “You’re right, but the Junior Sister is in seclusion.”

Jiang Cheng thought Master Baochu had not understood, and once more explained the various stakes involved in delivering the letter in layman’s terms, ensuring even a three-year-old could understand.

Master Baochu was baffled and repeated, “You’re indeed correct, but the Junior Sister is in seclusion.”

Master Liuye sensed the eldest senior brother’s firm determination to protect Junior Sister.

Jiang Cheng found Master Baochu quite a tough nut to crack.

Only the pure-hearted Liu Qing took Jiang Cheng’s hand and said, “He said she’s in seclusion.”

Jiang Cheng responded, “I know, I just need to rethink my words, Master Baochu is almost persuaded by me.”

Liu Qing shook her head, “Actually in seclusion.”

Jiang Cheng: “?”

Liuye: “?”

Jiang Cheng, surprised, said, “Master Baochu, Master Yunbai isn’t truly in seclusion, is she?”

Master Baochu quite speechlessly answered, “She is in seclusion, I’ve told you from the very beginning.”

Master Liuye was greatly startled, “Eldest senior brother! Is Junior Sister truly in seclusion?”

“Truly in seclusion.”

“Why didn’t you tell us?”

“I did tell you right from the start.”

“But your expression, your tone, weren’t they implying that Junior Sister didn’t want Yinsong, that scoundrel, to come looking for her?”

Master Baochu entered a frantic state, “No, Junior Sister is really in seclusion! A real seclusion. Meditating in a cave, that kind of seclusion.”

Master Liuye felt the world spin around him.

It dawned on him that the brothers’ day and night vigilance against Yinsong, that scoundrel, was not the eldest senior brother’s wish, nor Junior Sister’s desire, but merely their own wishful thinking?

Recalling how he had vehemently refused to let others send letters to Yunbai in a manner as if he were upholding justice, Master Liuye wanted to crawl into a hole.

The seemingly perfect match made in heaven was none of this Monster’s business to oppose, was it?

“Actually in seclusion…” Jiang Cheng muttered.

“May I inquire, Master Baochu, when is Master Yunbai likely to emerge from seclusion?”

“That, I do not know, it could be a few days or half a year. If she has an epiphany, seclusion could last several years or even decades.”

Jiang Cheng took out the letter, “Could I ask you to deliver this letter to her without disturbing Master Yunbai’s seclusion?”

Master Baochu shook his head, “I am only at the latter stages of Void Refinement, and Junior Sister is in the early stages. If I act, there is an eighty percent chance I’d disturb her. It’s too risky.”

“You mean to say that as long as someone has a high enough cultivation level, they can deliver the letter without disturbing Master Yunbai?”

“At least someone in the Integration Realm.”

Master Baochu thought Jiang Cheng would back down upon hearing this, considering Jiang Cheng was merely a Foundation Establishment Cultivator and couldn’t possibly know anyone in the Integration Realm.

But to his surprise, Jiang Cheng pulled out a Disciple Jade Badge, calmly dialed a contact method on it, and in an instant summoned a powerful figure in the late stages of the Integration Realm.

“Sect Master Congying!” both Master Baochu and Master Liuye exclaimed in unison.

Sect Master Congying squinted at Master Baochu and the other, temporarily unable to remember who they were, so he chose to keep quiet and act the part of a powerful master.

“Jiang Cheng, helping you with this matter cannot be without compensation. It should be quite fair for you to give me a jar of ‘Memory of a Thousand Years’ in return for my intervention, shouldn’t it?”

Jiang Cheng smiled, “Senior’s word is my command.”

Sect Master Congying took the envelope from Jiang Cheng, utilized his power, and without leaving a trace, placed it in Master Yunbai’s hand.

Jiang Cheng’s mission was accomplished.
