The End of the Immortal Path

"They are the greatest enemies they will face in this lifetime.

"To put it simply, it’s like an Unparalleled Celestial Pride being born into the world, an Immortal reincarnated—invincible under the heavens."

Yu Wanyi was silent for a long time.

’So Jiang Man’s Dao companion is still making moves. Ji Meng must be his Dao companion.’

’Otherwise, with the two of them being so close, it’s impossible that Jiang Man’s Dao companion would still be helping him.’

’She’d figured it out.’

’Still, she had to go take a look.’

"I still need to go out and confirm something before they leave the Immortal Mansion," Yu Wanyi said.

’Plus, I need to help Jiang Man secure the next batch of resources.’

’Pushing him into the spotlight would be ideal for luring certain people away.’

’If that doesn’t work, I’ll just make him famous.’

’As his investor, how could I let myself be bullied?’

’The legend of the investment world continues.’

「That afternoon.」

Yu Wanyi snuck over to Ji Meng’s courtyard all by herself and peeked inside.

She was hoping to see something.

"What are you looking at?" A sudden voice, full of curiosity, sounded by her ear.

Yu Wanyi jumped in fright, only to find another person who was sneaking around just like her.

"The owner of the courtyard," Yu Wanyi replied subconsciously.

Qing Dai looked a little surprised. "Ji Meng? I came to see her too. I heard she’s incredibly beautiful. What about you?"

"I’m here to confirm if she’s the Dao companion of the person I’m investing in," Yu Wanyi couldn’t help but answer.

Qing Dai was puzzled. "The person you’re investing in? Who’s that?"

"Jiang Man," Yu Wanyi blurted out.

"What do you mean?" Qing Dai asked, confused.

"The person I’m investing in has a Dao companion, a very mysterious one. Now, I suspect that Dao companion is Ji Meng," Yu Wanyi explained.

"Why?" Qing Dai inquired.

"Knowing Jiang Man’s personality, it’s impossible for him to get close to other women. You might be able to tempt him with a high enough price, but for him to stay in there this long... this is no longer a matter of money," Yu Wanyi said with certainty. "That’s why I’m guessing this Ji Meng is his mysterious Dao companion. I have to see her with my own eyes to confirm it.

"If she isn’t, I need to snap him out of it as soon as possible.

"But I’m still leaning toward her being that mysterious Dao companion of his."

Qing Dai’s eyes lit up. "How will you confirm if she’s the Dao companion of the person you’re investing in?"

"Once I see her, I’ll paint a portrait. Then I’ll go to Jiang Man and probe him a little. That should be enough to figure it out," Yu Wanyi said seriously.

"A portrait?" Qing Dai immediately took out a painting. "I have one."

Yu Wanyi was stunned. She glanced at the portrait and saw how beautiful the person in it was. "She’s this beautiful?"

Then, she put away the painting and said, "I’ll go test him right now."

"I’ll wait for your good news. Remember to tell me the answer. I’ll be right here," Qing Dai said earnestly.

And so, Yu Wanyi left in a daze.

As she walked away, she thought, ’How could I have been so careless? I told her everything.’

’Well, what’s done is done. Might as well go test him first.’

Qing Dai, a smile on her face, ran cheerfully into the courtyard. "Miss, good news!"

’The young master doesn’t seem to be a heartless man, after all.’

——

That day, Zhao Tiankuo was also escorted out of the Law Enforcement Hall’s prison.

Looking at the sun outside, he let out a heavy sigh of relief.

’Finally, I’m out.’

’I was worried the Immortal Sect would continue to investigate.’

’It seems the Immortal Sect doesn’t have the energy for a deep investigation at the moment.’

’I can be sure that for the near future, the Immortal Sect won’t be able to manage external affairs.’

’The Immortal Sect’s period of major reform has been too short, and there are too many unstable factors.’

’The Immortal Sect has enemies everywhere.’

’But this is also my time.’

’By the time the Immortal Sect reacts, I’ll have more or less recovered.’

Soon, he learned that Jiang Man and his ox were also out.

This surprised him somewhat.

’But it’s not a big problem.’

’I was the one who enlightened the ox, which basically makes it one of my own.’

’That way, Jiang Man’s every move will be under my watch.’

’This Jiang Man certainly has some ability. I can definitely try to use him, or even recruit him.’

’I could even communicate with him through the Old Yellow Ox.’

’Assuming a mysterious identity and making him submit to me.’
