I haven't seen him for a while, but Tian Chang's status in the family seems to have improved significantly.
Jiang Wang remembered that when he led the team in the Hidden Star World, not everyone else believed in him. Now he trains those around him like grandchildren.
Of course, with Tian Chang's mental strength, if he really wanted to consolidate his position, there would be no problem in convincing a few people. In the Hidden Star World, he is still in the stage of hiding his capabilities and biding his time.
What makes Jiang Wang curious is why he also came to Huai Island?
Then related to the issue of sea beasts, and the traveling back and forth of Chen Zhitao, the disciple of Diaohailou... It seems that some changes are about to happen in the offshore islands during this period, and it feels like a storm is about to come.
What Jiang Wang is most concerned about is whether it will affect his plan to rescue Zhu Biqiong.
A middle-aged man walking behind and to the left of Tian Chang was probably angry because he had been scolded severely by Tian Chang.
As soon as he got started, he called Jiang Wang: "Don't block the road!"
The Osawada family's management at sea is considered very good. They have two islands in hand, which is better than several other aristocratic families. One of them, Chongjia Island, had a ten-year exchange with the Chongxuan family.
People who live in Diaohailou will not stay in an inn on Huai Island.
So in this place, they probably really don't have to be afraid of anyone. It can be really arrogant.
Jiang Wang smiled nonchalantly and even stepped aside to give way.
There is no need for him to argue with Tian Chang's dog, because strictly speaking, Tian Chang is his person now.
Although he has never taken the initiative to contact Tian Chang since the Seven Star Tower, it is just not necessary. The secret of the Chaoxin Sword and the killing in the hidden star world were enough for him to control Tian Chang's life and death.
Tian Chang's eyes fell on Jiang Wang.
"Brother Jiang." He behaved politely and distantly.
This kind of alienation is normal, because on the surface, he has only met Jiang Wang twice in Qixing Valley, and the two have not had any other interactions.
They were not familiar with each other, but he knew Jiang Wang's reputation, so he was polite.
Jiang Wang still had an indifferent smile on his face, but he only nodded slightly as a response.
This is the pride of a genius.
Without being recognized, he could be as easy-going as possible. After recognizing him, he couldn't act too weak, as if bowing to Tian.
Tian Chang stretched out his hand and patted the angry middle-aged man on the shoulder: "You are so rude."
The middle-aged man was so frightened that he immediately trembled. He quickly faced Jiang Wang and bowed repeatedly to apologize: "The villain was blind and bumped into the noble. Please punish him."
"It's okay." Jiang Wang raised his hand: "We are all in the same family. We should help each other more when we are away. There is no reason to fight among ourselves."
"Been taught a lesson."
Tian Chang nodded and continued walking down. The group of people naturally continued to follow behind.
And Jiang Wang went up alone.
Of course, no one dared to let him avoid this time. Instead, they all squeezed aside, leaving enough room for Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang saw Tian Chang, and also saw the ordinary, dull-looking middle-aged man behind Tian Chang, Tian He.
His smile, which was already genuine, became more relaxed now.
Where the dragon and the snake come together, when the storms and clouds meet.
It was really fun with so many interesting people coming.
…
…
The bright moon hung over the sea, and the night was very peaceful.
The gentle swell of the ocean tide soothes the heart.
The window was open, and the masked man with a long knife on his waist flew in naturally, landed in the center of the room, and looked directly in the direction of the bed.
Jiang Wang was sitting cross-legged on the bed.
"You're late," he said.
The masked man took off his mask and revealed a stern face. Naturally, he could only be Tian Chang.
"I came to see you, so I couldn't be noticed by anyone. So I waited a little longer."
"It's okay." Jiang Wang smiled and said, "I don't mind."
When he met during the day, he reminded Tian Chang that people in Qi need to help each other. Tian Chang is a smart man and there is no reason why he cannot understand. Unless you want to act stupid. And Jiang Wang has no shortage of ways to deal with pretending to be stupid.
"What's the matter with you?" Tian Chang asked.
He is a very smart man and will not do stupid things.
Since the end of the last round of Seven Star Secret Realm, Jiang Wang has not looked for him once. No information, no resources, no requests. Of course he wouldn't think that Jiang Wang had forgotten him.
Jiang Wang didn't ask for anything, it could only be because the time hadn't come yet and what he could give wasn't enough.
He knew what he would choose, so he thought he also knew Jiang Wang's choice.
Tonight he comes with a sword. If he can kill Jiang Wang, he will not show mercy. But today, although he has opened the inner palace, the gap in strength between him and Jiang Wang has widened further.
So he is very obedient. Just like he listened to Tian Anping's words.
Of course, Jiang Wang does not expect the loyalty of such a person, as long as he can always maintain the suppression of strength and always hold his life gate.
"There's no rush." Jiang Wang said, "We haven't seen each other for a long time. We should have a chat and get to know each other again."
"Of course." Tian Chang said.
They say they "get to know each other", but he knows that he is only qualified to "be known". He is very aware.
"I remember you looked much kinder before. Your expression was usually not like this..." Jiang Wang paused and thought of a suitable word: "cold."
"Do you know where the Lost Heart Valley is?" Tian Chang asked.
Although it is a rhetorical question, the answer has already been given. Surviving in a place like that, whether you like it or not, some changes have happened permanently.
Jiang Wang nodded, expressing his understanding, and took the initiative to greet him: "I remember that you have another friend, who is from the Gongyang family. Why haven't you seen him today?"
"Died in the valley of despair." Tian Chang said calmly.
There was no emotion like resentment in his expression. It's like talking about a completely unrelated person and a completely indifferent matter.
But Jiang Wang remembered that the formation master named Gongyang Lu was the person Tian Chang trusted the most at that time.
"I won't say condolences, you don't need comfort."
Jiang Wang organized his words and said, "Tell me about yourself. What's going on now?"
"As you can see, I'm doing okay now." Tian Chang said: "Tian Anping gave me a lot of power and asked me to be responsible for some overseas affairs."
"Tian Anping?" Jiang Wang found it a little difficult to understand.
He originally thought that Tian Chang's "rise" was supported by his confrontation with Tian Anping. But I didn't expect that the person who supported Tian Chang was also Tian Anping.
He remembered that it was Tian Anping who imprisoned Tian Chang in the Valley of Lost Hearts to wait for death. He was very sorry when he learned the news. After all, it was the "insider" he had finally left behind, and it had great potential.
A normal person would not reuse someone who has been tortured by him. Tian Anping doesn't seem to worry about the dangers of raising tigers or revenge.
"In the Valley of Lost Hearts, I almost went crazy." Tian Chang twitched his lips: "Maybe this makes him feel close to you?"
Being suppressed without any suspense, being easily influenced by life and death, and deciding fate.
I suffered from inhuman torture, and the person I trusted the most also died in the valley of despair.
At this moment, he was still in the mood to be humorous and joke about Tian Anping being a lunatic...
This is amazing.
The remarkable thing is not only that he enjoys suffering. What's more, his fighting spirit was not completely crushed by Tian Anping. He was not as afraid of Tian Anping as he usually showed. He has fears too, but he can face them.
And this is the basis for his qualification to be an enemy of Tian Anping.
