Chapter 365 - 218: The Young Master-in-law Is Certainly Not Modest

"Young Master Jiang, this way please."

Qing Dai led him inside. The courtyard wasn’t large, and they reached the main courtyard after turning a corner.

There was a pavilion here, where Meng Qiewei sat reading a book.

"Miss, the Young Master is here," Qing Dai said.

By now, Jiang Man had already walked into the pavilion.

As Meng Qiewei raised her eyebrows, Qing Dai continued, "The Young Master also brought a gift for you, Miss."

Meng Qiewei still had the identity and appearance of Ji Meng.

The moment she saw him, she rose slightly, the pleasant chime of silver bells accompanying her movement. "Young Master Jiang."

Jiang Man asked curiously, "Miss Ji Meng, you’re reading?"

"An Array Book. I haven’t looked at Basic Formations in a long time. I thought I’d review it so I can teach you, Young Master Jiang. I can’t just take your Spiritual Source and not teach you anything, right?" Ji Meng teased.

"You’re too kind, Miss Ji Meng, but I can read the Array Patterns myself. What I need is practical application," Jiang Man said with a smile. "So, it would be even better if you could read more books on the application of arrays."

Ji Meng grinned. "Are you making demands now, Young Master Jiang?"

"Miss Ji Meng is an easy person to talk to," Jiang Man said.

Ji Meng nodded thoughtfully. "I am easy to talk to. So, aren’t you going to offer something in return, Young Master Jiang?"

Jiang Man replied immediately, "I brought a gift for you, Miss Ji Meng."

Ji Meng looked at the box in Jiang Man’s hands with considerable curiosity. "This box looks quite ancient, like it was dug out of a tomb."

Jiang Man fell silent for a moment.

’How is everyone in this world so spot-on with their guesses?’

He was very curious whether Old Meng was still alive. If he was, then in the future, whenever he was unsure about something, he could go to the Law Enforcement Hall and have him make a guess.

It might just solve the problem easily.

A flood of thoughts came to him, but Jiang Man quickly pushed them aside.

He placed the item on the table and said, "You can take a look, Miss Ji Meng."

After the two sat down, Qing Dai immediately poured a cup of water for Jiang Man and said, "I’m sure the Miss will love such a thoughtful gift from the Young Master."

Then she poured a cup of water for her miss.

She then moved to stand behind her miss, waiting for the box to be opened.

She was very curious about what kind of treasure was inside.

Judging by the Young Master’s cautious expression, it was definitely something extraordinary.

Of course, given her experience, no treasure should be able to stir her emotions too much.

But the thought that this was a gift representing the Young Master’s feelings for her miss made it special.

By this point, Jiang Man had already moved the box in front of Ji Meng.

Ji Meng reached out and gently opened it.

Qing Dai stood quietly to the side, waiting for the gift to be revealed.

The box opened without any resistance.

A transparent die appeared in their line of sight.

In an instant, the smile on Qing Dai’s face froze.

It was somewhat hard to believe.

Ji Meng looked at Jiang Man with considerable surprise and couldn’t help but ask, "Young Master Jiang, do you know what this is?"

"Yes, how did the Young Master get his hands on this?" Qing Dai was a little shocked.

She had thought that nothing could possibly exceed her expectations.

But this had unexpectedly surpassed them completely.

But she quickly found it incomprehensible. How could the Young Master, with his Middle Stage of Golden Core cultivation, have obtained this?

"An Immortal Dao Coordinate?" Jiang Man asked tentatively.

Qing Dai was stunned. The Young Master actually knew.

Jiang Man added, "Ji Hao told me."

Ji Meng picked up the die. "You touched it?"

Jiang Man nodded. "I did."

"Did Young Master Ji tell you about the stakes involved?" Ji Meng asked again.

Jiang Man nodded again. "He did."

"Then what made you think of giving it to me? Aren’t you afraid I’d be in danger?" Ji Meng asked curiously.

Jiang Man said, rather awkwardly, "So... do you want it, Miss Ji Meng?"

"No." Ji Meng refused decisively. "This thing will get someone killed. Young Master Jiang, are you dissatisfied with the marriage alliance, or with the person you’re being allied with?"

"You’ve misunderstood, Miss Ji Meng." Jiang Man wasn’t worried and explained, "I just wanted to ask if you wanted it, and also tell you about my situation.

"Maybe I could get some advice."

"Oh, so it was to get some pointers." Ji Meng’s eyes narrowed. "Are you prepared, Young Master Jiang?"

"For what?" Jiang Man was confused.

"Spiritual Source, of course." Ji Meng held the die and said seriously, "Getting pointers naturally requires payment in Spiritual Source. Or did you plan on tricking me out of my expertise for free, Young Master Jiang?"

Jiang Man was taken aback for a second, then felt it was quite reasonable.

Old Huang’s influence had made him forget about the matter of Spiritual Source. He immediately asked how much was needed.

Ji Meng thought for a moment and said, "One piece a day."

"Huh?" Jiang Man was a bit stunned. "That cheap?"

"What’s cheap is actually expensive." A gentle breeze rustled the ends of Ji Meng’s hair, and the chime of silver bells sounded again as her voice followed. "One piece a day is three hundred and sixty-five a year. For every day you use the method, you owe me one piece."

Jiang Man paused. ’Thinking about it that way, it really is expensive.’

"Does Young Master Jiang agree?" Ji Meng asked.

"Can I pay on credit?" Jiang Man asked.

Ji Meng nodded. "Of course."

Jiang Man said gratefully, "Miss Ji Meng, you’re truly a good person."

Qing Dai couldn’t watch anymore and asked in a low voice, "Young Master Jiang, how did you get this?"

Those who can obtain this die are either connected to an Immortal Sect or an Evil God.

The Young Master was just a Sect Disciple, and only at Golden Core Cultivation at that.

How could he possibly have obtained it?

Jiang Man recounted the process of how he got it, telling them everything except for the guidance he received from Ting Fengyin and Old Huang.

As Qing Dai listened, she began to think it was probably because the Young Master possessed an Unparalleled Celestial Pride Fate Chart.

With that, anything could happen, and it would be understandable.

After hearing Jiang Man’s story, Ji Meng said, "When the time comes, the die must be cast. But there is another possibility."

Hearing this, Jiang Man asked, "What is it?"

"The die has already been touched by you, so you are now the one who must cast it. However, there is one way to avoid casting it." Ji Meng looked at Jiang Man and continued, "And that is to kill the person who is meant to cast the die. If that happens, the die will wait for the next three thousand years.
