Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 1186: Chapter 1188: No More Hiding Even a Little Bit_1

Bai Ruozhu had always believed that there’s no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and since it was an organization, there must be a reason for its existence, right?

Just like the Huashan Sect, its existence was to gain fame in the martial world, where both the disciples of the Huashan Sect and Elder Xuan Jizi had to consider the reputation of their Sect. If their Sect faced troubles, they could not simply stand by idly.

What about an underground organization, then? If they could not expose themselves, then it could not be for fame—they must be subjected to even more and far more terrifying restrictions.

Sure enough, as she stared into Jiang Yichun’s eyes, she saw a hint of evasion in his gaze.

”Speak up, tell me everything in one go, don’t hide anything from me. If you can’t even share this with me, then I guess our relationship is over,” Bai Ruozhu’s face grew long. Ever since she heard that there was an underground faction behind him, she felt extremely frustrated. He had been hiding something from her for so long!

”Ruozhu, you...” Jiang Yichun was taken aback. ”This is a separate matter. Can we not start off like this when we’ve just met?”

”What separate matter? I don’t want to live with a time bomb attached to my identity, nor do I want to worry and fret over you senselessly,” Bai Ruozhu yelled out.

Jiang Yichun was at a loss for words, and silence settled eerily in the room for a long time.

He should have expected this; with her temperament, she would not tolerate deceit and instability. It seemed he had no choice but to tell her more.

”Alright, I’ll tell you everything. This organization is called ’Building upon Buildings.’ The name sounds ordinary, and unsuspecting people might think it’s just a restaurant, but its influence has almost penetrated every country. I am the head of the Chen Hall within it,” he said as his gaze lowered, ”Our time is limited, so I will start with the most important things first and explain the details to you later.”

”After my father died, my master took me in. However, when conducting affairs, I discovered traces of ’Building upon Buildings,’ and even found out that my father had been part of it too. I secretly joined ’Building upon Buildings’ because I wanted to see how the place that my father had served was different. And Elder Lin was someone I met through ’Building upon Buildings’ as well.”

Bai Ruozhu was shocked. ”My master?”

Jiang Yichun nodded, ”He has appointed you as his successor, and perhaps he will tell you in due course. But if he doesn’t mention it, don’t say a word about it.”

She somewhat dazedly nodded her head. No wonder the two of them were so familiar with each other; there was this connection between them.

”’Building upon Buildings’ hasn’t done anything unsavory. It’s just that the founder of the organization was a Yin Yang Master. He once predicted that after long separations there would be reunions and after long unions, there will be separations. The world’s great trend is to unite; only through unification can true peace and stability be achieved. Over the years, ’Building upon Buildings’ has been quietly supporting someone capable of unifying the world.”

”Who are they supporting?” Bai Ruozhu listened with alarm, yet couldn’t help agreeing with the founder of ’Building upon Buildings’: being a modern person who had learned history, she naturally knew that only when the world was unified could the people enjoy peace and stability.

”Decades ago, they secretly supported the Former Emperor of Chengshui Country. Unfortunately, due to his poor health, he didn’t live to see the unification of the world. Afterward, the current Emperor of Chengshui succeeded the throne. Being incompetent and excessive, ’Building upon Buildings’ naturally wouldn’t support him. As a result, this led to the crazy retaliation of Emperor Chengshui, causing ’Building upon Buildings’ to suffer significant damage and it had to lie dormant for the past few years,” Jiang Yichun said with a sigh.

Bai Ruozhu nodded silently to herself. Just considering the fact that Emperor Chengshui raised his son like a princess and his indecent relations with his son, it was evident that he was incompetent. Would the world still be worth living in if such a person unified it?

”Then eventually they will choose someone to support, right? If it’s not Tang Yin, who would you choose?” Bai Ruozhu asked.

”No, they would never choose Chengshui Country, nor do they favor the Turkic of the North, and Tang Yin is young and promising, kind to his people, they were originally going to choose him,” Jiang Yichun said.

Bai Ruozhu sneered, ”Every organization has its leaders, and all leaders have their own agendas. Who can guarantee that they will truly choose Tang Yin in the end? What will you do then? You had better think this through.”

”We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it, I am not a blindly loyal person,” Jiang Yichun thought for a moment and then said.

After he finished speaking, he looked outside at the sky, then pulled her into his embrace, ”I know it was wrong of me to hide things from you before. Just this once, I won’t hide anything from you again. We don’t have much time, you should quickly rendezvous with Jianqi and the others. Wait for me for two days, and then I will come to find you, and you can properly interrogate me then.”

She opened her mouth to speak, but he overpowered her, sealing her lips tightly with his kiss. She struggled at first while still angry, but ultimately melted into this sweet kiss...

Bai Ruozhu quickly joined up with Jianqi and the others. When asked, she said that her rescuer was a recluse expert from the south whom she had met a few times before. He had happened to be passing by and lent them aid; he was an old-timer who chose to live away from the world and didn’t want to meet with others.

”The elder also said that Achun has been rescued by him and placed in a safe location to heal. He told us to start our return journey slowly, and Achun would catch up with us in a couple of days,” Bai Ruozhu excitedly said.

”That’s wonderful, we can finally go back and report,” Lyu breathed a huge sigh of relief.

The others were very happy, but only Jianqi showed a hint of doubt, feeling that something was amiss. However, after locking eyes with Bai Ruozhu, he swallowed his questions.

Bai Ruozhu and her party left Wuyuan City the next day, as the Ghost-faced man was too much of a hassle, and Lyu feared further complications.

Xiu Cuicui was brought along by Bai Ruozhu, and Muyu whispered to Morning Wind, ”You tell me, how come our lady is so well-liked? Last time she brought someone back, and this time she’s bringing someone again, and it’s someone who understands the language of beasts, too bad she’s lost her inner strength.”

Morning Wind glared at Muyu, ”Keep your voice down, don’t upset that Xiu Cuicui.”

Muyu shrank his neck, mumbling, ”What’s there to be upset about? It’s good for a woman to see through that kind of man early on, otherwise it would be a loss to realize his true colors after many years.”

With a whoosh, the curtain of the horse carriage that Bai Ruozhu and Xiu Cuicui were in was suddenly pulled open, and Xiu Cuicui’s head popped out. She stared intently at Muyu not far away, scaring Muyu into shivering.

Morning Wind’s mouth twitched slightly, and he rode away to one side. Served Muyu right—who told him to be a blabbermouth?

”Young man, you have a point, Xiu Cuicui thanks you!” Xiu Cuicui suddenly made a fist salutation, spoke to Muyu graciously, without showing any sign of blaming him.

Muyu was completely dumbfounded, and after a long while, he chuckled foolishly, scratching his head and saying, ”I’m just a big mouth, glad you’re not angry.”

”Not angry, ’a word of warning to the one who dreams,’ seeing clearly early on is my good fortune,” Xiu Cuicui declared decisively.

Bai Ruozhu smiled and nodded on the side, it seemed Xiu Cuicui truly had come to terms with it. Muyu wasn’t wrong, at least Xiu Cuicui wasn’t married to Weng An yet, seeing the truth early gave her the chance to find someone who truly loves her.
