I haven't seen him for a while, but Tian Chang's status in the family seems to have improved significantly.
Jiang Wang remembered that when he led the team in the Hidden Star World, not everyone else obeyed him. But now he trains those around him like grandchildren.
Of course, with Tian Chang's character and strength, there is no problem in convincing a few people if he really wants to consolidate his position. In the hidden star world, he is still in the stage of hiding his power and biding his time.
What makes Jiang Wang curious is why he also came to Huai Island?
Then related to the issue of sea beasts, and the traveling back and forth of Chen Zhitao, the disciple of Diaohailou... It seems that some changes are about to happen in the offshore islands during this period, and it feels like a storm is about to come.
What Jiang Wang is most concerned about is whether it will have any impact on his plan to rescue Zhu Biqiong.
There was a middle-aged man walking behind and to the left of Tian Chang. He was probably scolded severely by Tian Chang and was angry in his heart.
As soon as he got started, he called Jiang Wang: "Don't block the road!"
The Osawada family's management at sea is considered very good. They have two islands in hand, which are better than several other families. One of them, Chongjia Island, has been exchanged with the Chongxuan family for ten years.
People who live in Diaohailou will not stay in an inn on Huai Island.
So in this place, they probably really don't have to be afraid of anyone. They can really be arrogant.
Jiang Wang smiled nonchalantly and even stepped aside to give way.
There is no need for him to argue with Tian Chang's dog, because strictly speaking, Tian Chang is his person now.
Although he has never taken the initiative to contact Tian Chang since the Seven Star Tower, it is just not necessary. The secret of the Chaoxin Sword and the killing in the Hidden Star World are enough for him to control Tian Chang's life and death.
Tian Chang's eyes fell on Jiang Wang.
"Brother Jiang." He behaved politely and distantly.
This kind of alienation is normal, because on the surface, he has only met Jiang Wang twice in Qixing Valley, and the two have not had any other interactions.
They were not familiar with each other, but he knew Jiang Wang's reputation, so he was polite.
Jiang Wang still had an indifferent smile on his face, but he only nodded slightly as a response.
This is the pride of a proud man.
Before being recognized, he could be as easy-going as possible. After being recognized, he couldn't act too weak, like bowing to Mr. Tian.
Tian Chang stretched out his hand and patted the angry middle-aged man on the shoulder: "You are so rude."
The middle-aged man was so frightened that he immediately trembled. He quickly faced Jiang Wang and bowed repeatedly to apologize: "The villain is blind and bumped into the noble. Please punish me."
"It doesn't matter." Jiang Wang raised his hand: "We are all in the same family. We should help each other more when we are away from home. There is no reason to fight among ourselves."
"Been taught a lesson."
Tian Chang nodded and continued walking down. The group of people naturally continued to follow behind.
And Jiang Wang went up alone.
Of course, no one dared to let him avoid this time. Instead, they all squeezed aside, leaving enough room for Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang saw Tian Chang, and also saw the ordinary, dull-looking middle-aged man behind Tian Chang, Tian He.
His smile, which was already very real, became even more relaxed now.
Where the dragon and the snake come together, when storms and clouds meet.
There were so many interesting people here, it was really fun.
…
…
The bright moon hung over the sea, and the night was very peaceful.
The gentle surging of the sea tide soothes the heart.
The window was open and the masked man with a long knife on his waist flew in naturally and landed in the center of the room, looking directly at the bed.
Jiang Wang was sitting cross-legged on the bed.
"You're late." he said.
The masked man took off his mask and revealed a stern face. Naturally, he could only be Tian Chang.
"I came to see you so that no one could notice me. So I waited a little longer."
"It's okay." Jiang Wang smiled and said, "I don't mind."
When they met during the day, he reminded Tian Chang that people in Qi need to help each other. Tian Chang is a smart person, and there is no reason why he can't understand. Unless he wants to pretend to be stupid. And Jiang Wang has no shortage of ways to deal with pretending to be stupid.
"What's the matter with you?" Tian Chang asked.
He is a very smart man and will not do stupid things.
Since the end of the last round of the Seven Star Secret Realm, Jiang Wang has not looked for him once. He has not asked for any information, any resources, or any demands. Of course he will not feel that Jiang Wang has forgotten him.
Jiang Wang didn't ask for anything, it could only be because the time hadn't come yet and what he could give wasn't enough.
He knew what he would choose, so he thought he also knew Jiang Wang's choice.
Tonight he came with a sword, and if he could kill Jiang Wang, he would not be merciful. But today, although he has opened the inner palace, the gap in strength between him and Jiang Wang has widened further.
So he is very obedient, just like he is very obedient to Tian Anping.
Of course, Jiang Wang does not expect the loyalty of such a person, as long as he can always maintain the suppression of his strength and always hold his life gate.
"There's no rush." Jiang Wang said, "We haven't seen each other for a long time. We should have a chat and get to know each other again."
"Of course." Tian Chang said.
He said he was "getting to know each other", but he knew that he was only qualified to "be known". He was very aware.
"I remember you looked much kinder before. Your expression was usually not like this now..." Jiang Wang paused and thought of a suitable word: "cold."
"Do you know where the Lost Heart Valley is?" Tian Chang asked.
Although it is a rhetorical question, the answer has already been given. Surviving in such a place, whether you like it or not, some changes have already happened permanently.
Jiang Wang nodded, expressing his understanding, and took the initiative to greet him: "I remember that you have another friend, who is from the Gongyang family. Why haven't you seen him today?"
"Died in the valley of despair." Tian Chang said calmly.
There was no emotion like resentment in his expression. It was as if he was talking to a completely unrelated person and something completely indifferent.
But Jiang Wang remembered that the formation master named Gongyang Lu was the person Tian Chang trusted the most at that time.
"I won't say condolences, you don't need comfort."
Jiang Wang organized his words and said, "Tell me about yourself. What's going on now?"
"As you can see, I'm living well now." Tian Chang said: "Tian Anping gave me a lot of power and asked me to be responsible for some overseas affairs."
"Tian Anping?" Jiang Wang found it a little difficult to understand.
He originally thought that Tian Chang's "rise" was supported by his confrontation with Tian Anping. But he did not expect that the person who supported Tian Chang was also Tian Anping.
He remembered that it was Tian Anping who imprisoned Tian Chang in the Valley of Lost Hearts to die. He felt very sorry after learning the news at that time, because after all, it was the "insider" he had finally left behind, and it had great potential.
A normal person would not reuse someone who has been tortured by him. Tian Anping doesn't seem to worry about raising a tiger or retaliation at all.
"In the Valley of Lost Hearts, I almost went crazy." Tian Chang twitched the corners of his lips: "Maybe this makes him feel close to you?"
Being suppressed without any suspense, being easily influenced by life and death, and deciding fate.
I suffered from inhuman torture, and the person I trusted the most died in the valley of despair.
At this moment, he was still in the mood to be humorous and joke about Tian Anping being a lunatic...
This is amazing.
The remarkable thing is not only that he enjoys hardship, but also that his fighting spirit has not been completely crushed by Tian Anping. He is not as afraid of Tian Anping as he usually shows. He also has fear, but he can face it.
And this is the basis for his qualification to be an enemy of Tian Anping.
