Three big shots are proposing to me at the same time? Are you crazy?
Chapter 96: So, what secret is hidden in the house?
Although Butler Wang did not know Jiang Huan's exact strength, he did know that the Jiang family could not be sustained by the old man alone, and that Jiang Huan would be needed to restore the Jiang family's prestige in the future.
So after only three seconds of hesitation, he said, "Young Master, are you familiar with the Five Elements theory?"
"Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth," Jiang Huan replied. The Five Elements are essential knowledge for cultivation; how could she not know them?
"Does the young master know the five elements that correspond to the five elements?"
"They correspond to wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and snow respectively."
Hearing Jiang Huan's words, Butler Wang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the Fifth Miss knew quite a lot, so he could speak with peace of mind.
Then, his tone became much lighter: "Legend has it that there are ten beads of different colors in the Nine Provinces, each the size of a baby's fist, corresponding to the ten attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and snow. If these ten beads are fused together, they will open a passage—a passage to a secret realm. This secret realm was left behind by an ancient god after his fall. It is rich in spiritual energy, suitable for cultivation, and contains many secret manuals and treasures, so many forces want to obtain it to strengthen their family's power..."
After listening, Jiang Huan stroked his chin thoughtfully and asked, "So, there really are people in this world who cultivate immortality?"
"Yes," Butler Wang nodded, glancing at Jiang Huan. "It's a pity you're still too young, young master, to understand—"
His voice stopped abruptly.
Because he witnessed a scene that shocked and excited him.
Jiang Huan raised her left hand, palm up, a cluster of flames leaping in her palm.
"Young Master, you...you can cultivate?" Butler Wang was at a loss for words to describe his astonishment.
God!
The Fifth Miss can actually cultivate?
The Fifth Miss is only eighteen years old!
Even though the old man has spent most of his life trying to understand, he still can't get close to the threshold, while the fifth young lady is only eighteen and she already is... good heavens!
"Foundation Establishment stage." Jiang Huan did not hide his strength.
Upon hearing this, Butler Wang suddenly felt a lump in his throat and tears welled up in his eyes.
He wiped away his tears, choking back sobs, "That's wonderful, wonderful! The Jiang family won't fall, and the master and young master can finally rest in peace..."
Jiang Huan extinguished the flames and patted Butler Wang on the shoulder: "Don't cry. The Jiang family has me, so if there's anything you need in the future, just tell me. You don't need to hesitate, and you don't need to worry that I don't have the ability."
Even if she doesn't have that ability now, she has her master and aunt, and with their guidance, she will definitely work even harder!
Butler Wang wiped away his tears, feeling extremely embarrassed.
He's so old, yet he still needs the Fifth Miss to comfort him; it's truly shameful.
"Of these ten beads, the old man obtained six by chance when he went to war. They were of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and one of lightning. The five beads of the five elements are on the two masters and the three young masters respectively, and the last one is with the old man."
"So, the reason why Uncle, Father, and my three older brothers died so tragically was because of the bead on them?" Jiang Huan frowned, her teeth aching with anger, and her hands clenched into fists.
She came into this world just as her memorial service was taking place.
Her uncle was decapitated, her father's body was completely destroyed, her eldest brother was smashed to pieces, her second brother's face was unrecognizable, and her third brother's bones were exposed in the wilderness... while her aunt and mother both died in the shells.
If all of this is because of those few beads, then her family is really unlucky!
"Yes," Butler Wang nodded, sighing deeply. "The old man regrets it every day. If he hadn't handed these beads over to the master and the others, perhaps they would have suffered this misfortune! The old man always says that if he hadn't brought these beads back, the Jiang family wouldn't be where they are today..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Huan snorted: "The one who's wrong isn't Grandpa, it's those who covet the things! Since there's still one with Grandpa, where did Grandpa put it? Can you ask Grandpa to give it to me?"
As long as the bead is on her, those people will definitely come for her.
When the time comes, kill one if one comes, kill two if two come!
As long as she knows who has the five beads, she will know who is behind it all!
After listening, Butler Wang shook his head: "Only the old master knows where the lightning attribute bead is. As for your suggestion that the old master give you the bead... I can't guarantee whether the old master will agree, but I will try my best."
After all, the Fifth Miss doesn't know that the Old Master already knows about her recovery. As long as the Old Master agrees, it will be very simple.
But finding a reasonable excuse to deal with Miss Wu is a real headache.
Jiang Huan, completely unaware of Butler Wang's thoughts, raised an eyebrow and said with a serious expression, "If you don't know how to persuade Grandpa, I can give you an idea."
"Please speak, young master."
"Just tell Grandpa to put the bead here with me, and then everyone will protect me. That way, Grandpa can keep an eye on me from behind and catch anyone who gets close. Of course, this is just to fool Grandpa. You will help me deal with him, but don't actually have anyone watching me, otherwise it will be inconvenient for me to do things."
After hearing Jiang Huan's words, Butler Wang nodded, but couldn't help but chuckle inwardly: "Alright, we'll do as the young master says."
Fifth Miss, you still want to fool the old man? Do you really think the old man is a pushover?
If the old man were just an ordinary person, he might actually be able to fool people, but the old man is no simple person.
"I'll handle the Golden Wind Hall. Back then, my grandfather could cripple that hall master, and now I can make the Golden Wind Hall disappear completely from this land!" Jiang Huan narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with ruthlessness.
"Yes."
Just as Jiang Huan was about to end the conversation, a scene suddenly flashed through her mind. "There's something else I've always been curious about."
"Young master, please ask."
"I know that there is a forest behind the Jiang family's house, and there is a house at the end of the forest. But I want to know what is hidden in that house? Why can you and the Jiang family go in, but I can't?"
Upon hearing this, Butler Wang seemed to make a connection and asked in surprise, "What triggered the alarm that night... could it be..."
“Yes, it’s me.” Jiang Huan nodded.
"So surveillance is also..."
"also me."
"Fortunately, it wasn't someone else!" Butler Wang breathed a heavy sigh of relief, thinking that the old man no longer needed to worry about this matter. The Jiang family was still safe and had not been invaded by enemies.
When the alarm was triggered, the old man asked him to check everyone except for the fifth young lady.
Although the old man asked Young Master Ling to handle the matter of the altered surveillance footage, Young Master Ling ultimately failed to uncover anything.
Nevertheless, the old man kept this matter on his mind, defining it as an external enemy infiltrating the Jiang family, and he remained cautious and worried.
Now that we know it's the Fifth Miss, things are much easier.
"So, what secret is hidden in that house? I know that my father used to go there with my grandfather."
Jiang Huan recalled that the original owner of the body at that time did not know martial arts and had not cultivated them, so it was impossible for him to get past the layers of guards and enter that place. Therefore, the original owner was unaware of it.
She wanted to investigate again after that incident, but she was always delayed by other things.
She happened to be talking to Butler Wang right then and there, so she casually asked him about it.
Butler Wang said, "Would you like to go and see for yourself?"
"Of course I want to see it for myself..."
"Buzz."
Before Jiang Huan could finish speaking, she saw someone calling her from an unfamiliar number.
