Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 3075: Chapter 3011: His Mastermind

Jiang Xiao did not expect that the other party would have the half-painting of the mountain forest night banquet.

Upon hearing it, her heart skipped a beat, fearing that the Magic Brush was in the part of the painting held by the other party.

If that were the case, her modification of the tomb mural back then would have directly exposed the clues and herself to the other party’s eyes, wouldn’t it?

Fortunately, when this matter was mentioned, Mei Chunhong also interjected.

She had consumed the Illusionary Talisman Diagram and spoke up when asked about something she knew, saying she and Second Master had seen that half of the painting and described its content.

Only after hearing it did Jiang Xiao confirm that the half-painting in the other party’s possession did not have the man wearing the mask, and naturally, there was no scene of him holding the Magic Brush.

But he still felt there was something uncanny about the situation.

Since the Dragon King had half the painting, what if someone else had the other half?

What if the Dragon King later obtained the other half?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiao felt her heart race wildly.

Now, it was likely too late for her to return to Bai Gu Mountain Ancient Tomb to destroy that painting.

Because the experts who were there at the time must have already made rubbings and likely taken photos of that painting.

Unless she could destroy all those rubbings and photos.

But how would she know how many rubbings were made? How many photos were taken? Where did the photos go, and how many were distributed?

At most, she could only hide the Magic Brush well and never take it out again.

If no one sees the Magic Brush, even if they see the painting, it’s to no avail—they won’t find the Magic Brushes.

Fortunately, she had Space; whenever she needed to use the Magic Brush in the future, she would just use it in the Space.

The Magic Brush was mainly used for drawing Talisman Diagrams now, which she could do in the Space, so there was absolutely no problem.

”So, do you finally know who your clandestine partner is?”

”Of course I do, Old Master Lu of the Lu Family.”

Old Master Lu!

This was an answer that took Jiang Xiao by surprise.

How was Deng Qingjiang working for Old Master Lu?

She had always thought he was working for the old man of the Jiang Family!

She had always thought so; in her previous life, she had heard it several times too, that Deng Qingjiang was always in contact with an old man surnamed Jiang. Back then, he had also admitted to her that the other party was from the Jiang Family!

It was precisely because Deng Qingjiang always told her they were people from the D State Jiang Family that Jiang Xiao was always on guard against the D State Jiang Family. In this life, hearing about the D State Jiang Family evoked a feeling akin to hearing about an enemy.

But now Deng Qingjiang was telling her his clandestine partner was Old Master Lu?

Was he joking with her?

Jiang Xiao’s expression changed, ”Are you sure it’s Old Master Lu? The Old Master Lu from the Lu Family of Pingzhou?”

”It’s him, but he always had someone by his side contact me,” Deng Qingjiang said.

”Who? Who from Old Master Lu’s side? Lu Junyou?”

”Not Lu Junyou, we were all told to call him Old Shi.”

Old Shi?

Who is this person?

At this time, Mei Chunhong chimed in again, raising her head to speak: ”I know this Old Shi, he was always the one in contact with Second Master. Old Shi is the one Old Master Lu trusts the most, not that Lu Junyou—Old Master Lu doesn’t trust him at all, he’s always wary of him.”

What a tangled web of relationships this is.

Jiang Xiao turned to Mei Chunhong, ”So, who is this Old Shi?”

”Anyway, everyone is just told to call him that, but we don’t even know his real name. This Old Shi is very mysterious, apart from Old Master Lu, no one knows his origins.”
