Chapter 366 - 218: The Young Master-in-law Really Isn’t Humble
"So, if there are people who want you to roll the dice, there will definitely be people who want to wait for the next chance."
Jiang Man’s heart sank. His situation was worse than he’d imagined.
"Who are the ones who disagree?" Jiang Man asked.
"A portion of the Immortal Sects, a portion of the Evil Gods, and even more of the Demon Race." Ji Meng sighed. "Young Master Jiang, you’re in danger."
Jiang Man truly hadn’t expected that some would want to wait for the next opportunity.
"Young Master, you don’t need to worry too much. Most of them are the weaker ones. They only want to wait for the next chance because they don’t have a shot at this one. Besides, the Miss is definitely on your side," Qing Dai said comfortingly from the side.
"Weaker ones?" Jiang Man immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I’m not worried."
Qing Dai: "..."
For a moment, she wasn’t sure if she should tell the Young Master.
Her definition of "weaker ones" was completely different from his.
"They aren’t all weak. Some just missed the timing and will still make a move." Ji Meng took a sip of water and said, "The Immortal Sects, in particular, are the most dangerous."
Jiang Man was puzzled. "Why would the Immortal Sects get involved?"
"The Immortal Sects aren’t of one mind," Ji Meng said after a moment’s thought. "Besides, there are four Immortal Sects, and they directly govern twelve Sects."
"With so many people, how many of them wouldn’t want to see the Evil Gods grow stronger?"
Jiang Man understood. The world was currently in a state of recuperation.
The appearance of the dice would shatter the current balance and cause a great deal of trouble.
As long as he was sacrificed, things could remain relatively stable for another three thousand years.
Thinking about it that way, his situation suddenly seemed dire.
"Then what should I do?" Jiang Man asked for advice.
"When dealing with the Immortal Sects, you just need to demonstrate your value and continue to make a name for yourself," Ji Meng said after some thought. "As for the Evil Gods, it’s best to find a relatively weak one. Give the dice to him and have him suppress its aura as much as possible."
"That will buy you more time."
"The Demon Race isn’t a concern for now."
"How do I find an Evil God?" Jiang Man asked.
He definitely couldn’t ask Old Huang to act.
The moment Old Huang made a move, he would be discovered.
"That’s up to you. You need to find an Evil God that the Sects won’t target," said Ji Meng.
Qing Dai added from the side, "The Young Master could look for a dead Evil God. Some Evil Gods linger even after death and can still be of use."
An idea began to form in Jiang Man’s mind. He then asked, "If things develop normally, how much time do I have before an Evil God discovers me?"
"Thirty years, at most," Ji Meng said.
Hearing this, Jiang Man was taken aback.
Seeing the Young Master’s expression, Qing Dai also felt that it was indeed too short a time. The Young Master wasn’t ready yet.
However, Jiang Man spoke up, "That long?"
Qing Dai was stunned. ’How is thirty years long?’
Jiang Man suddenly wasn’t so anxious anymore. This issue wasn’t as pressing as the Unparalleled Celestial Pride Fate Chart.
Of course, this thing was different from the Unparalleled Celestial Pride; it wasn’t a fixed threat.
"If you advance quickly, that time will shorten," Ji Meng reminded him.
Jiang Man paused. "Well, that’s certainly not good news. Advancing quickly is just what I do."
Qing Dai: "..."
’The Young Master really isn’t modest. But his Cultivation is still low, so of course he can say things like that.’
’Once his Realm is higher, he won’t be able to say it so easily.’
Ji Meng put down her teacup, fiddled with the dice again, and said, "This dice is indeed quite powerful, but it’s not suitable for you."
Jiang Man nodded. "I don’t plan on using it. There’s no need."
’He could forge his own path, one step at a time.’
’The paths of his predecessors were not his own.’
’If one walks the path of their predecessors, how can they ever surpass them?’
’To be defined as an Unparalleled Celestial Pride, one must walk a path no one else can.’
"When the time comes, you must roll the dice. If you don’t, someone will force you to." Ji Meng placed the item back in the box, closed it, and said, "But that’s not for now. You should focus on how to find an Evil God to suppress the aura."
Jiang Man thought for a moment. He did indeed have a plan. He immediately took out a statue and asked, "Will this work?"
The Ancient Well Type Evil God.
He had been subjected to its Heart Locking before.
The Evil God had since dissipated, but after all these years, it should have reawakened.
And it would be extremely weak.
"An Ancient Well Type Evil God? That must be from the Sixth Secret Realm." Qing Dai immediately recognized its origin.
"I’ve been undercover before. I can actually continue to do so now," Jiang Man said.
Ji Meng nodded. "That’s worth a try."
With that, Jiang Man felt relieved.
Afterward, Ji Meng told him that some Evil Gods had extraordinary perceptive abilities and were specifically watching the dice.
So they would know in advance.
The same was true for some people in the Immortal Sects.
He couldn’t let his guard down.
Additionally, Ji Meng said that as long as he took care of the Evil God, she could help it better suppress the aura.
Free of charge.
And so, Jiang Man began to study Arrays.
This time, Jiang Man studied for five days. He had now finished three of the Thirty-Six Books of Ascension.
Just before he left, Ji Meng suddenly said, "I don’t like this gift, so you’ll have to make it up to me with a normal one next time."
Jiang Man was taken aback, but he immediately nodded. "Alright. The next time I find something good, I’ll bring it for Miss Ji Meng."
With that, Jiang Man left.
Qing Dai packed up the pastries and had Jiang Man take them with him.
The moment Jiang Man was gone, Qing Dai said urgently, "Miss, the Young Master is in great danger."
Ji Meng looked at Qing Dai and said, "We are now at the Primordial Spirit Cultivation stage."
Qing Dai was taken aback. "So are we really not going to help the Young Master?"
Ji Meng was silent for a moment. Instead of addressing that, she simply asked, "He’s going to prepare a gift for his next visit. In that case, I..."
"Shouldn’t I prepare a gift as well?"
Qing Dai froze. ’We were talking about something important! Why aren’t you concerned about the Young Master? Besides, Miss, you’re only pretending to be Ji Meng, you’re not the real one! Where’s your cold and aloof demeanor?’
Ji Meng smiled faintly and said, "An Immortal Dao Coordinate appears once every three thousand years. Would you consider that rare?"
