Chapter 381 Not Living More Than Five Years
Many cultivators opened their quest logs and found that the long-delayed quest about the Yue family ancestral home had a new completion mark, and there were even positive reviews from the quest giver.
The other unsuspecting cultivators showed no sign of belief upon hearing this news.
"This is outrageous. Can you guys make your jokes more real? What kind of hellish joke is this? Yue Chengdu is dead and can still get up to complete the mission? Jiang He and the others are already very lucky to have come back alive."
"No, it's true. Go see for yourself. The task has already been completed, and the comments are already out."
"Damn, what the heck? There are actually comments."
"So, Jiang He really completed the mission on Yinhe Star and even avoided Yao Xi. That doesn't make sense. Yue Cheng hired Jiang He, so Jiang He should be Yao Xi's rival."
"Actually, I had suspected before that Yue Cheng's death was related to Jiang He. Now that the S-level mission is completed, I feel that there must be some unknown secret behind it."
"Alright, alright, stop guessing. The newcomer completed an S-level mission on his first try, worth 100 billion star coins. No wonder people say Jiang He is overestimating himself."
Just as Jiang He finished withdrawing the money, she ran into Hua Xi and Scarface coming out of the personal training ground.
Scarface was kicked out of the trial tower. He lay on the ground groaning, his face bruised and swollen, not a single part of his holographic image intact.
In contrast, Hua Xi gracefully stepped over Scarface's hand, sword in hand.
Hua Xi's tone was unfriendly, and she never looked down to glance at the scar.
"If you spread rumors again, you'll get more than just this beating."
Hua Xi looked at the real address of the scar on her personal terminal, which she had found through investigation, and then put the sword back with satisfaction.
Jiang He and Hua Xi brushed past each other. Zhong Liyu looked at the tattooed man on the ground with a pained expression and asked in confusion, "Who has offended our academy's young lady again?"
Zhong Liyu knew Hua Xi's personality.
Her tsundere (arrogant/tsundere) attribute is maxed out.
Even he knew that before he could beat Hua Xi, he should never provoke her. This seemingly elegant young lady was actually just like Shangguan Linghu, who could hit people very hard.
——Yinhe Xingxing Port——
The headless ghost held a handful of sunflower seeds, looking quite relaxed.
These past few days, the half-body ghost has been scared to death. After learning that Yao Xi had killed Yue Cheng and taken back control of the Yao family, he thought about escaping every day.
As a result, the ghost next to him dragged him along for a whole day before finally leaving. Luckily, they arrived at Starport.
"Let's leave earlier next time, my heart can't take it."
"What are you afraid of? Yao Xi isn't a good person. It's normal that we disagreed and went our separate ways back then. It's not all our fault."
“You know Yao Xi isn’t a good person. If she attacks, we’re all finished. And don’t forget, the two of us were the first to lead the charge in.”
"Relax, relax, all I want is for Yao Xi to step down, and then we other ghost cultivators can govern together."
"Co-governance is so much better; authoritarianism will inevitably lead to problems sooner or later."
"Something really happened. She's still alive, but the two of us might not make it." The half-ghost sighed as he spoke. "By the way, why did you talk so much with that spiritual cultivator? You dragged it out for a whole day just because she might come? What if she didn't come? Would you stay?"
“That female cultivator is short-lived, she won’t live more than five years. She’s eighteen this year, she doesn’t have much time left. I only told her because I felt sorry for her.”
The half-demon rolled its eyes: "I've never seen you so kind-hearted before. Also, you shouldn't have revealed any information to those five in the first place. I never expected that female cultivator would rescue Yao Xi."
"Oh dear, I'm just pitying our neighbors. You know they signed a contract with Yuecheng. We've been kept silent about what happened five years ago, so I can only say the opposite and leak the information."
"You're being pitiful again. I've never seen you so concerned about the country and its people before. If you get yourself into trouble this time, let's see what you do. You'll drag me down with you."
"We're still alive and well, the situation in the slums should improve, we're doing a good job. Besides, it was a deal. I gave the clues to that female cultivator, she has a business relationship with Yao Xi and can put in a good word for us, otherwise how do you think we got here safely? Sigh, never mind."
"Want some? Have a little, please."
The headless ghost stretched out his hand and handed over the sunflower seeds, which the half-dead ghost reluctantly grabbed a handful of:
"Don't do that again next time. By the way, do we have money for tickets? Where are we going?"
"Shh, keep your voice down. Let's go to Yangzhou. The feng shui there is good."
……
After Jiang He returned to her dormitory and divided the money, she took on the majority of the tasks.
One hundred million spirit stones plus one billion star coins, totaling one hundred and one million spirit stones.
Each person receives 30%, amounting to 30 million and 300,000 spirit stones.
Yao Xi is really willing to spend such a large sum of money.
With the money and relationship settled, Jiang He added Yao Xi on her contact list, but after returning to Yangzhou, she never contacted her again.
She recalled the time she took to visit the headless ghost and what he said.
Originally, the headless ghost said she was half-dead, and that Zhong Liyu was a walking corpse.
When she finally went to ask for confirmation, the headless ghost still said the same thing: she wouldn't live more than five years.
Jiang He clutched the longevity lock; she was exactly 23 years old when she transmigrated.
Jiang He never believed in fate, but she knew the identity of the headless ghost.
The headless ghost who started his business with Yao Xi was a practitioner of divination and had performed many fortune-tellings for Yao Xi.
Zhong Liyu's situation is similar to hers, but not quite the same. To be precise, he is almost the same as Zhong Liyu; his original soul was long gone.
Jiang He banished the distracting thoughts from her mind. Even if she died five years later, she would bring her life back.
Five years is far from enough; she has so much to do.
After repaying her debt from the previous lightning tribulation, Jiang He plunged into the planting space to cultivate.
Last semester, Jiang He completed all the credits for sword cultivation and was almost ready to graduate. This semester, due to her performance in the competition, all the teachers at Wanjue Academy were particularly attentive to Jiang He and were eager for her to take their courses. Having such a student with strong learning ability and good talent was something to be proud of.
However, Jiang He did not choose courses randomly. This semester, Jiang He took important professional courses in law and planting.
Compared to the previous semester, considering Jiang He's situation, the deans of each college allowed students with self-study abilities to skip classes and instead provide them with recorded videos of the teachers' instruction.
In this way, Jiang He's course schedule becomes much more flexible.
Jiang He almost constantly shuttled between the planting space and the Spirit Herb Valley, living a simple life of cultivation.
Jiang He's actions were strange and unpredictable, and the teleportation array of Lingcao Valley was located in the unfinished Danxiu Academy. Many academy cultivators speculated that Jiang He might be planning to change her major or take another professional course.

L: Just wondering why Jiang He keeps going to the Danxiu Academy. She's already taken almost three professional courses. Does a person really have that much energy?
L: This is Boss Ge! You have to think about how someone can create a speedrun guide; he's incredibly skilled. On the contrary, I'm more concerned about whether any alchemists will come to our academy to teach. There are very few wild alchemists these days; they're all monopolized by the big families.
