The Alternative Way of Enlightenment

Chapter 80 Rejecting the Good Will of the God King

The Jiang family's place of residence was very vast, with endless mountains and countless floating islands. It took a long time to walk before they stopped in front of one floating island after another.

The ancient island is huge, with towering ancient trees, silver waterfalls, and colorful mists. It is truly a fairyland. If Taixuanmen is like a place for cultivating immortals, then Jiangjia is a fairyland.

"Please stay here first. This is the residence we arranged for you. You must be very tired after traveling all the way here. Take a rest first." Fairy Caiyun said to Liu Shan in a gentle voice.

"You have to be honest, too, understand?" Fairy Caiyun said to Hei Huang again.

As soon as she saw the look in Heihuang's eyes, she knew that this black dog was definitely a troublemaker.

Although Heihuang had been very honest during the journey these two days, he was definitely pretending. She had lived for so long and had seen all kinds of things. She could recognize the naughty and hypocritical ones at a glance.

The Black Emperor nodded obediently. The Black Emperor was very sensible. With such a high level of cultivation, it was very simple to teach him a lesson. A wise man would not suffer a loss in front of him.

Jiang Taixu hesitated for a moment, but still said to Liu Shan: "There are many young people along the way, with unfriendly looks. If they come to cause trouble, you can teach them a lesson. Don't worry, the older generation will not interfere."

In fact, Jiang Taixu himself didn't want to say much, but he was afraid that Liu Shan would misunderstand, so he decided to remind Liu Shan first.

Liu Shan had noticed it a long time ago, so he nodded happily.

As expected, as soon as Jiang Taixu and Fairy Caiyun left, the Black Emperor disappeared without a trace. Liu Shan originally wanted to stop it.

Finally I thought about it and decided to let it go, it's quite annoying to be around, it's not bad to let it go out and annoy others.

Heihuang also knew the importance of the matter. At most, he would steal some ancient medicines and magical birds, but he would not kill anyone or burn anything. Others would not do anything to him for the sake of Jiang Taixu.

In the next two days, many people came to visit Liu Shan.

The older ones were all kind and brought many gifts to Liu Shan. The younger ones also smiled, but Liu Shan could sense their temptation.

Liu Shan greeted them with a smile and ignored them, pretending not to hear any deeper meaning in their words.

...

"Swoosh" a black shadow rushed behind Liu Shan.

"Dead dog, don't run if you have the guts." There were shouting and cursing coming from a distance.

"Trouble is coming!" Liu Shan said in his heart.

Liu Shan turned around again and looked at the black-haired and dirty Heihuang.

"Who did I offend again?"

Hei Huang dodged Liu Shan's gaze and said, "I didn't do anything. I just ate a few immortal birds and picked a few precious herbs."

"Really?" Liu Shan didn't believe it at all. If Black Emperor really just ate a few immortal birds and a few precious medicines, no one would chase him.

The Jiang family cannot afford to lose face. Even if the young people are impulsive and want to come to the door, they will be stopped.

Liu Shan was helpless. He could only force a smile, walk out the door and greet them.

Liu Shan looked at the person who was walking over, and wondered, "Only one person is here to cause trouble? Is it really the Black Emperor who caused the trouble? Isn't he here to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble?"

"Is that your dog?" When the man saw Liu Shanhou, he immediately stepped forward and questioned him angrily.

"It's my friend. What did it do wrong? I will take responsibility for it." Liu Shan said sincerely.

Seeing Liu Shan's gentle attitude, the man also lowered his voice. However, he still spoke with anger: "This big black dog has been coming to my place every day these past two days, stealing herbs and monsters. I didn't mind stealing a few herbs and monsters because you are my guests."

"But this black dog actually had a barbecue in the medicinal field today and burned all the herbs! All the herbs I worked so hard to grow are gone!" The young man's tone was full of grief and indignation.

Liu Shan covered his forehead speechlessly. This dead dog really doesn't care about human affairs at all.

There's nothing I can do. Now that they've come to my door, I still have to clean up their mess.

"If you do something wrong, you have to admit it. How about this? I will compensate you with the source stones for the common herbs, and I will buy the more expensive herbs and give them to you. How about that?" Liu Shan apologized and proposed a solution.

After hearing what Liu Shan said, the man's eyes moved slightly. If Liu Shan had a bad attitude or refused to admit it, he would definitely have to pay compensation.

But Liu Shan was so nice, and he was a guest, so he was torn. If he didn't want compensation, he would have to bear all the expenses himself, but if he asked for compensation from the guest, it would be embarrassing.

Liu Shan saw through his thoughts and smiled slightly. He took out three thousand kilograms of source stone and placed it on the ground.

"If you do something wrong, you have to admit it. There are about three thousand kilograms of Originium here, and I don't know if it's enough for compensation. Why don't you take it first? After counting it, if it's not enough, I can make up for it, okay?"

The man hesitated before nodding his head in agreement. He then took the source stone, scratched his head, and left embarrassedly. Later, the man invited Liu Shan to attend some gatherings of the young people of the Jiang family. Liu Shan also knew his name, Jiang Fengyin. His name was quite domineering, but his personality was very shy.

"How was the party you attended these two days?" Jiang Taixu and Fairy Caiyun came.

Liu Shan shrugged, "That's it. Let's just talk about it. Nothing special happened."

"Alas, I deliberately didn't come to see you these past few days, just to see if any of the juniors would come forward to challenge you. But in the end, no one did."

Liu Shan understood Jiang Taixu's meaning and wanted to use his own hands to wake up the younger generation of the Jiang family.

"After I came back from Purple Mountain, I discovered that among the younger generations of the Jiang family, there was not a single one who was famous in the Eastern Wasteland. The younger generation was either immersed in the glory of the Great Emperor and did not think about making progress. Or they were hiding behind the scenes, calculating something. There was not a single person who could take on the responsibility."

"Behind the scenes? Plot? Jiang Yifei?" Liu Shan thought.

"They know that I have passed on the secret of the word 'fighting' to you. But they are afraid of angering me, so they dare not challenge you. They don't even have the courage to fight."

"Alas," Jiang Taixu sighed heavily.

Liu Shan understood Jiang Taixu's thoughts.

Normally, an outsider who received the nine secrets taught by the ancestor would be resentful and unwilling to accept it.

They should come to challenge Liu Shan and prove that they are stronger than Liu Shan, but no one came. It seems that they are all too cautious!
"Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity when someone challenged you, and then teach you some of the Dou Zi Mi combat experience."

"Then I want to ask you if you are interested in becoming my disciple. Now that no one is coming, I can only tell you directly." After Jiang Taixu finished speaking, he looked at Liu Shan eagerly, waiting for his reply.

Liu Shan was shocked by Jiang Taixu's words. Jiang Taixu actually wanted to take him as his apprentice?

This would have been great news, but it came a little too late.

Liu Shan already had the Immortal Slaying Gourd, so he had someone to back him up. Although it was good to take Jiang Taixu as his master, it was not good to join the Jiang family.

If there was no Immortal Slaying Gourd, Liu Shan would definitely agree. But with the Immortal Slaying Gourd, there was no need to impose another constraint on himself.

After all, the relationships within a big family are too complicated, and as an outsider, there is no need for me to get involved.

Liu Shan thought with a conflicted look on his face, he didn't know how to refuse.

Jiang Taixu smiled kindly and understood what Liu Shan meant.

"There is one more thing I need your opinion on." Jiang Taixu began to change the subject.

"Please speak, God King." Liu Shan replied immediately.

"My Jiang family and the Holy Land Feng have always been on good terms. The Feng Clan has a talented person in this generation. At the age of thirteen, she created her own secret technique, called Feng Huang. She is about the same age as you. I want to be a matchmaker so that you and Feng Huang can get married."

Liu Shan's eyes widened immediately. Another piece of big news came.

Why did the God King introduce Feng Huang to me? Wasn't he going to introduce her to Ye Fan? Was it because I saved the God King from Purple Mountain in this life, so the God King was more optimistic about me?
But Feng Huang, such a proud and arrogant woman. I can't accept it, but how can I reject the God King again? Liu Shan's thoughts turned quickly.

After hesitating for a while, Liu Shan said to Jiang Taixu: "Actually, I came to the Jiang family this time because I have a few things that I would like to ask the God King for help."

"One of the things is that I hope the God King can act as a matchmaker for me and help me propose marriage to Yan Ruyu from the demon clan!"

Liu Shan just had an idea. He suddenly thought that if he could ask Jiang Taixu to propose to Yan Ruyu on his behalf.

Then he could let Jiang Taixu accompany him to King Qingjiao’s small world.

He could reject Jiang Taixu's proposal to marry Feng Huang. He could also let the God King accompany him to the demon tribe, which would provide him with an extra layer of security. He also liked Yan Ruyu very much. If he could succeed in his proposal, it would be like killing three birds with one stone.

Jiang Taixu was also stunned after hearing Liu Shan's words.

"Brother Taixu will help you propose marriage, so there will be no problem. It turns out that you already have a lover, then there is no need to marry the girl from the Feng clan." Fairy Caiyun interrupted.

Jiang Taixu also nodded and said, "Of course. But I am not very familiar with the demon tribe, and Yan Ruyu is a princess of the demon tribe and a descendant of the demon emperor Qingdi. I am afraid they will not agree easily."

"I will prepare an imperial scripture as my dowry. God King, just help me tell the demons that I am interested in Yan Ruyu."

"I don't care whether it succeeds or not. It's just that when I first saw Yan Ruyu, I was attracted by her peerless charm, so I yearned for her. In fact, we are not familiar with each other. So it is reasonable for me to refuse." Liu Shan explained.

Jiang Taixu nodded, but in his heart he was thinking that this was the first time Liu Shan asked him to do something, he must succeed.
