Chapter 947: Xue Yi? Bai Yi? Hei Yi?

“Alright then!”

Tang Sheng shrugged, turned to Tang Xue and Tang Yan, and sighed softly. “Their destinies will depend on their luck.”

“Ay…”

Tang Xue and Tang Yan trembled slightly. They raised their heads slightly and looked at Jiang Yi in disappointment. They looked so frightened and sad that Jiang Yi’s heart almost softened and accepted them.

Jiang Yi turned around with great difficulties. Tang Sheng waved his hands and asked the two to leave them. He walked to the main hall with Jiang Yi and personally made a cup of tea for him. Smiling, he said, “Where is Brother Hei Yi headed? You should visit Heaven Fate City sometime. When I reach the North Thearch City this time, I will retire. Sigh… those two girls will probably be sent back to the clan and wait for other arrangements.”

Jiang Yi kept quiet and showed no sign of emotions. A moment later, he looked up and said, “Big Brother, why do you think that I am a good person? Why are you so assured to hand over those two girls to me? What if I am also a bad guy? Moreover, there is a clear definition of good and bad people in this world. To be frank with you, I have blood on my hands, too.”

“Hahaha!”

Tang Sheng laughed loudly, stared at Jiang Yi earnestly, and said, “I am going to be honest with you. The Tang Clan has taught us that we are not martial artists but merchants. We never compete for domination and only do business. The most important thing in business is judging people’s character. If we are accurate about this, any business will go on smoothly. Therefore, all the Tang Clansmen are a good judge of character.

“As for… what makes a good person and a bad one? In order to survive in this world and become strong, who doesn’t have blood on his hands? As far as we see, what distinguishes a good and a bad person is up to whether the man has principles and a bottom line. Without a doubt, you have those two things.”

“Ke-Ke!”

Jiang Yi smiled faintly. He agreed with Tang Sheng. Completely good people didn’t exist in this world as they were all dead. Tang Sheng made a very good impression on him right now. Jiang Yi secretly amazed that the Tang Clansmen were certainly the top-level merchants. They were truly ingenious at making friends.

They were not concerned with interests or business. They made friends and focused on the long term.

Business only brought one-time profits, but friends brought continuous wealth. All the great people in the world became the Tang Clan’s friends. They would certainly make Tang Clan their first choice if they wanted to cooperate with someone else.

Jiang Yi didn’t speak anymore. Once he made up his mind, his decision wouldn’t change. Tang Sheng didn’t bring up the subject of Tang Xue and Tang Yan again. Instead, he tossed a white command token to Jiang Yi and said, “I am giving you the only platinum command token that I have. If you become successful one day but have forgotten about me, I will be angry.”

“Haha!”

Jiang Yi took the command token and laughed loudly. He liked Tang Sheng’s temper very much. He didn’t say anything insincere and sentimental. He nodded and said, “Big Brother Tang, we’ll be friends then. Well… Hei Yi is a fake name, but I can’t tell you my true name for now. You will definitely know me in the future. I can only tell you that if I stand on the peak of the continent one day, your Tang Clan will always be my ally.”

“Alright!”

Tang Sheng could feel Jiang Yi’s sincerity. He didn’t ask further and chatted casually with Jiang Yi in a kind smile. They enjoyed their conversation so much despite their age difference that they became good friends in just half a day.

At night, Jiang Yi bid farewell and left. They would reach near the Flood Martial City in about seven days. He had to hurry up and further comprehend the astral winds and Devil’s Smile.

He went to the cabin and turned on the restrictions. He released the astral winds after entering the State of the Union of Heaven and Man. Then, he controlled the astral winds to quickly fuse into a twist and fly slowly beside him.

“The speed of fusion is not fast enough, and the enemy will definitely be startled. Moreover, one astral wind twist can only kill one person. There are so many people by Wu Ni’s side. By the time that I form the second astral wind, their attacks will probably arrive!”

Jiang Yi controlled the astral winds to spread apart and continue to fuse. Practice made perfect. He congealed more astral winds of greater destructive power at a faster rate. Meanwhile, he needed to transform the astral winds into armors at the same time. When defense and attack worked together, the combat power would then be intimidating. Otherwise, even if he could kill others, he would be killed by the opponents as well.

“The Myriad Clone sorcery is so brilliant, it enables me to multi-task. Otherwise, I certainly can’t congeal a lot of astral wind blades or the winds into armors at the same time.”

In only two days, Jiang Yi was able to congeal five astral winds blades and an Astral Winds Divine Shield at the same time. The Astral Winds Divine Shield was really powerful and could stop Judgment Wind Blade which was a six-star dao pattern. Even though the divine shield broke in the end, Jiang Yi was only severely injured. It showed how mighty the defense power of the Astral Winds Divine Shield was.

He didn’t achieve much progress in Devil’s Smile within a short time. Jiang Yi decided to simply devote himself to the study of astral winds. He thrived to make the astral winds as comfortable as his own arms. Therefore, the chance of surviving would be higher.

…

Buzz!

After six days, the restrictions of Jiang Yi’s cabin shook slightly. He quickly withdrew the astral winds, opened the restrictions, and sent a voice transmission: “What’s the matter?”

“My lord, we reach the Flood Elephant City.”

A commander sent a voice transmission respectfully. Jiang Yi was slightly startled by how fast time passed. He had a feeling that only two or three days had passed. In a bitter smile, he walked out and nodded slightly at the sight a vaguely visibly city in the distance.

“Brother Hei Yi!”

It seemed that Tang Sheng got the message. He walked from the cabin and whispered by Jiang Yi’s side, “You’re leaving?”

Jiang Yi nodded and said, “Yes, I need to transfer to another Heaven Fate Ship. Big Brother Tang Sheng, I will certainly visit the Heaven Fate Ship and have a few drinks with my brother if I have the opportunity.”

Tang Sheng smiled slightly and said, “All good things must come to an end. The younger brother is leaving. I will send you. If you go to Heaven Fate City, just ask the guards to take you to my mansion. I will help you to my best ability.”

As they talked, they arrived at the Flood Elephant City; and the Heaven Fate Ship stopped, too. Dozens of guests about to get off already left the cabin and flew down once the shield was lifted. Nearly 100 people under the ship flew up as well.

“Big brother, we will see each other again!”

Jiang Yi waved his hands and shot from the Heaven Fate Ship straight at the city gate. Tang Sheng kept waving his hands in a big smile until Jiang Yi entered the city. He had a complicated look.

A commander walked over, looked at the direction of the city, and asked confusedly in a low voice, “Consecrator, who is he? Why does he warrant so much respect from you?”

“He is an unparalleled genius!”

Tang Sheng sighed with amazement and suddenly sent a voice transmission. “Remember, information about this man is classified as top secret and can’t be leaked to anyone. Meanwhile, send his information to the clan and listed him as a special VIP. We must not provoke him.”

“Special VIP?”

The commander shrank his eyes and opened his mouth slightly in disbelief. However, Tang Sheng didn’t explain. It was not suitable for him to ask further. This was top-secret. His ranking was not enough.

After the commander left, Tang Sheng then let out a deep breath. Squinting at the city, he smiled and mumbled, “Xue Yi? Bai Yi? Hei Yi? Younger brother, which one is your real name? Or… are they all fake?”
