Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 876: Chapter 615: Jiang’s Explanation, Ye Family’s Ambition (Double-Length)

The restaurant’s room opened, and the sandalwood smoke from the incense burner lingered inside. Ye Jingcheng’s figure, at this moment, seemed even more inscrutable due to the swirling sandalwood smoke.

Jiang Jinghe glanced once, and immediately felt an overwhelming pressure in his heart, quickly averting his gaze.

The table had no Spiritual Cuisine, only a pot of Spirit Tea, and the Spirit Tea was Spring Tea.

This made Jiang Jinghe’s expression freeze involuntarily, but soon, the expression disappeared without a trace:

“Ye Daoist, may I speak to you?”

“Of course, we must listen. Master Jiang, please sit. The Ye Family must also follow the situation in Taihang Market!” Ye Jingcheng cordially invited.

He then activated an Array to envelop the entire room.

“Ye Daoist, coming out now is unwise!” Jiang Jinghe sighed deeply.

“The Jin Family not only has Jin Chengyun, whose cultivation has recovered, but also has Jin Xuanheng, who recently broke through to Golden Core. I’ve seen Jin Xuanheng in the past, and his talent is indeed remarkable, coupled with the Jin Family’s close ties with Purple Peak…”

Jiang Jinghe explained all the intricate relationships and then took out a Storage Bag.

“Ye Daoist, I have never dared to forget the events of that year, though the other side demanded certain commitments. However, I never touched the people of the Ye Family, even those who maliciously damaged the reputation, are not my doing. All I’ve done is manage resources and the Earth Fire Room. But for these things, I’ve always felt regret. Inside this bag is the revenue missed by the Earth Fire Room over these years!” Jiang Jinghe spoke.

Ye Jingcheng took the Storage Bag but did not even look at it, placing it on the table instead, which caused Jiang Jinghe’s heart to race once more.

He feared the Jin Family, but he also feared the Ye Family.

Everyone believed that the Ye Family’s Foundation Establishment Pill was maneuvered from here, but he was well aware that the Ye Family’s Foundation Establishment Pill was clearly either refined by themselves or seized through other means.

Moreover, the Ye Family cultivators had an unusually high breakthrough rate when using the Foundation Establishment Pill, making him suspect that the Ye Family possessed hidden strength.

Additionally, Ye Jingcheng soon possessed the ability to refine Purple Mansion Jade Liquid after breaking through the Purple Mansion, suggesting great potential within the Ye Family.

Hence, he wished not to offend either side.

“Master Jiang wouldn’t merely think that what we said back then was just mere banter, would you?” Ye Jingcheng finally spoke.

Of course, although he pretended not to look at the Storage Bag, in truth, his Divine Sense was already covering it.

His Divine Sense far exceeded Jiang Jinghe’s, making it impossible for the latter to detect.

Inside the Storage Bag, there were indeed quite a few things: two Foundation Establishment Pills, nearly ten thousand Spirit Stones, along with many precious Alchemy Spirit Materials, including Dream-Devouring Pill and the Sunflower Wood Block’s spirit materials.

A sincere gesture indeed.

Yet so many years without transmitting news to the Ye Family.

Ye Jingcheng wouldn’t truly forgive Jiang Jinghe for these benefits.

Even if the other side lacked the chance to transmit to the Ye Family, they could have done better.

“Certainly not, Ye Daoist. What Jiang said back then is true, but recent circumstances have been compelling, and Jiang has indeed sought mediation within, yet the opposition’s strength is daunting, rendering me powerless!” Jiang Jinghe spoke helplessly.

He then himself fetched Spirit Wine.

“How about this, Ye Daoist, I’ll penalize myself with three cups!” Jiang Jinghe drank three cups consecutively.

Ye Jingcheng didn’t reply, leaving Jiang Jinghe standing awkwardly.

For a long while, the air was deathly silent.

Jiang Jinghe’s face twitched slightly as it was about to change color but eventually turned into a smile:

“Ye Daoist, this time it might be Jin Yurong taking action. He is now Middle Stage of Purple Mansion and has Tier Three High-Grade Magical Treasure; his strength is not to be underestimated!”

Ye Jingcheng still did not reply.

This caused Jiang Jinghe to break into cold sweat, momentarily unsure how to proceed, ultimately having to add:

“Ye Daoist, regarding the Taihang Market matter, Purple Peak’s Senior Brother Xiao also reached out to me, subtly expressing support for the Jin Family.”

“The words Jiang spoke today are true, Ye Daoist can freely use a Spirit Inquiry Talisman!” Jiang Jinghe continued.

He referred to Senior Brother Xiao, likely Purple Peak’s true disciple, Xiao Yufeng, a disciple of Master Zitian.

Ye Jingcheng finally spoke at this moment:

“Continue organizing the Taihang Grand Competition. I will not concern myself with past affairs, but for future matters, you can still choose!” Ye Jingcheng waved his hand, which allowed Jiang Jinghe to feel relieved.

As he walked out of the room, his back was slightly dampened.

Know that, even facing Purple Peak’s Xiao Yufeng wouldn’t make him so.

Yet faced with Ye Jingcheng, he couldn’t help but speculate, guessing that Ye Jingcheng had likely advanced to the Middle Stage of Purple Mansion cultivation.

He regretted not transmitting news to the Ye Family earlier.

Though even so, he doubted the Ye Family’s chances.

He sighed deeply, deciding to leave.

…

Within a hill, an extremely concealed cave mansion housed a cultivator drinking Spirit Wine, enjoying Spiritual Cuisine with great satisfaction.

At this moment, a rumbling sound ensued, causing the mountain to quake violently.

He hurriedly fetched a Magical Artifact and then an Array.

Next, he extracted a Puppet, intending for it to head outside.

But in the next moment, boom!

The sealed stone door was abruptly overturned.

At this moment, even if he wished to escape, there was no room to flee.

A cultivator wearing a Ye Family Daoist Robe emerged:

“Xun Daoist, you spread rumors in the Marketplace Independent Cultivator Square, claiming our Ye Family’s Spiritual Cuisine is tainted, falsely including mundane meat. Ye Qingwen has come to demand an explanation?” Ye Qingwen entered the cave mansion.

This instantly caused the person’s face to change drastically:

“Elder Ye, I was muddleheaded that day. I beg you not to hold it against me!” The Xun Sect Cultivator pleaded repeatedly, but Ye Qingwen was already charging forward.
