Chapter 98

Opportunity

In Jiang Chao’s opinion, the martial arts realm classification from one to nine ranks in the martial arts world is unreasonable and even sounds rather crude.

Especially the second to fourth ranks, these three martial arts realms are all called the "Grandmaster" realm, and they are even divided into three stages: junior, intermediate and senior, which sounds quite ridiculous.

Even if each level had a name, such as Vajra Realm, Finger Profound Realm, Celestial Phenomenon Realm, Celestial Human Realm, etc., it would still sound better than Grandmaster early stage, middle stage, and late stage.

He had also asked Jin Yu why she was like this. In Jin Yu's words, no matter what kind of martial arts realm it was, in her view, it was just a title.

Only those who reach the Grandmaster level are qualified to define the realm of martial arts.

Below the level of a grandmaster, all are but ants.

But grandmasters, like Jiang Buwen, who have long been renowned martial arts masters, disdain to define themselves and are too lazy to define themselves.

"Tell me, what exactly are these five people doing here?"

Jiang Chao asked Jin Yu, who was also walking silently beside him, in a low voice.

The woman shook her head. "This servant doesn't care about that."

Jin Yu didn't care what these kids were doing here; she only cared about what young master Jiang Chao wanted to do.

Anything is fine, but please don't make friends indiscriminately anymore, otherwise, you might squander the last bit of good fortune you have left.

When she goes back, she doesn't know how to explain it to the master and mistress.

The woman told her and her sister to take good care of the young master and not let him be deceived.

The dangers of the martial world lie not in fighting and killing, but in the unpredictability of human nature.

Although Jiang Chao was exceptionally intelligent from a young age, he was still too young and had a lively personality, making him easily taken advantage of.

Thinking of this, Jin Yu reminded him, "Young Master, whether they are just passing by or, as they say, visiting relatives, the matter of Chenjia Village should not be exposed so soon. Otherwise, if more people find out, things may change."

Jiang Chao naturally understood the changes she mentioned; she certainly wasn't afraid of the righteous people in the martial arts world finding out.

Rather, they fear being discovered by the Heavenly Dao.

Every person born into this world has their own destiny, and is born with their own karma and fortune, so that a single hair can affect the whole body.

"Don't worry, I know. I'm just looking at them. Their group is so similar to ours."

Jiang Chao laughed.

Jiang Chao and his group were also originally two men and three women.

Later, Qingling and Jinyu, two maids, joined them.

"Since Young Master is aware of the situation, then this servant is relieved," Jin Yu said.

Thanks to Jin Yu's illusionary technique, even though the five people noticed something unusual about the place, they were unable to find the source of the anomaly.

Instead, these strange and inexplicable occurrences terrified the five of them, who thought that some kind of evil entity had been born in this place.

Through their hushed conversation, it was learned that the young man who led the group, named Bi Sheng, had searched the area with four others, but after finding nothing, he finally decided to leave and find another place to settle down.

After watching the group leave and set up camp in a mountain stream several miles away, Jiang Chao and Jin Yu quietly returned to Chenjia Village.

Chenjia Village was eerie and terrifying, with gusts of cold wind and a palpable sense of resentment.

However, the Chen family mansion was brightly lit, with several pale-faced servants bustling in and out.

One delicious dish after another was served on the table and arranged neatly.

After dinner, the group went back to their rooms to rest. The next morning, as soon as Jiang Chao opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful figure standing in front of his bed.

Jiang Chao was startled. "Miss Bai, you..."

The person before them was none other than Bai Su Niang, who possessed the body of a Yin spirit.

Unlike when she was attached to a physical body, the spirit Bai Su Niang now appeared somewhat illusory, like a phantom, with her feet off the ground and suspended in the air.

Upon seeing Jiang Chao awaken, Bai Su Niang, who had remained hidden all night while controlling the servants to entertain guests, gracefully bowed to Jiang Chao and softly said in a clear and melodious voice:

"I've thought about it all night and I've made up my mind. From now on, I'll follow you, sir. As long as you can help me avenge my family, I'm willing to do anything, even be your slave or servant, without any complaints."

Jiang Chao sighed and said, "Miss Bai, you really don't need to do this."

The other party came to see him alone early in the morning and explained the matter, clearly indicating that they had made up their mind.

However, the master-servant relationship... is rather awkward.

He didn't like the master-servant relationship; in his view, people should be equal.

Even with the Jin Yu and Qing Ling sisters, he only called himself "Young Master" to maintain a balance with these two pairs of sisters with mysterious origins.

He almost never put on airs like a young master in his daily life.

"Miss Bai, you don't need to do this. We can just treat each other as friends," Jiang Chao said, sitting up and looking directly at the female ghost with clear eyes.

Bai Su Niang remained silent, only staring at Jiang Chao with her seemingly resentful eyes.

"..." No, why are you looking at me with such a resentful look?

Jiang Chao was quite puzzled by the other party's attitude.

I don't understand what happened last night.

"If you don't agree, young master, I won't leave."

Isn't this your home? You're not leaving...

Jiang Chao sighed and said, "Since that's the case, then so be it."

"From this day forward, we shall be treated as master and servant."

"Thank you, young master."

The female ghost then cast aside her previous sorrow and smiled sweetly at Jiang Chao.

Unbeknownst to Jiang Chao, last night Qingling and Jinyu easily pulled Bai Su Niang, who was hiding in a coffin, out with a wave of their hands.

After a series of threats and inducements, using both soft and hard tactics, Bai Su Niang finally realized that continuing to resist would not do her any good.

They also learned that Jiang Chao, this young man, had an extraordinary background.

As a spirit whose obsession had not yet been extinguished, she knew best just how terrifying the two sisters who called themselves servants in front of the boy were.

If Jiang Chao gave her the feeling of having a boundless and unfathomable aura, then the servants Jin Yu and Qing Ling gave her the feeling of being natural nemesis to beings like herself.

If the other party were willing, with just a thought, she would be annihilated and completely disappear from the world.

Of course, most importantly, another thing the other person said last night made her realize that there was an opportunity.

The older sister, Jin Yu, said: "Our young master is destined to become a god. If you follow him now, you will surely rise to great heights in the future."

The phrase "even chickens and dogs ascend to heaven" sounds vulgar, but when you add the words "immortals and gods," it becomes completely different.

Bai Su Niang was originally an ordinary mortal. After her death, her resentment remained, and by chance, she gained this power that transcended that of ordinary people.

In her current state, she naturally understands that there is a real possibility that there are truly magnificent beings like immortals and gods in this world!

Therefore, after listening to Jin Yu's words, she made a decisive decision to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and strive for a better future for herself.

It is said that when a person dies, it is like a lamp going out, but after she died, another lamp was lit!

She hoped this lamp could burn forever!
