Girl, I'll Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 222

Cheng Lingsu clenched her teeth, soliloquizing to herself. Why should I listen to you? Why should I let you dominate my fate?

Our Second Lady Cheng also had a temper. She ignored the ugly expression which had crept up on his face and took out the marriage certificate from her purse. She had hardly taken it out when Lin Yueling took it away from her hands.

Cheng Lingsu noticed the sour expression on Jiang Xiu's face. This little lass even assumed an innocent, helpless expression which seemed to tell – the marriage certificate was taken away by your mother, my hands are tied as well. But it looks like there's no need to go the civil administration office tomorrow as the divorce procedures require the marriage certificate.

Sun Xiaohong and Cheng Lingran still hadn't seen their marriage certificate, so they huddled up to look at it as well. Lin Yueling passed a comment from the side, "Little Xiu's looks pretty bad in this photograph."

This too was no wonder as he appeared pretty reluctant in the photo.

Jiang Yi said, "Alright. Don't dally here. You and Little Xiu should return home. I'll stay with Hanlin and look after him. We brothers haven't got together in over a decade. There's a lot to talk…"

Sun Xiaohong and Cheng Lingran were already fatigued, so they didn't comment much after hearing this. They left the room and booked a cab back to the house in the Imperial Capital.

Cheng Lingsu changed into a new pair of clothes here and handed over a set to her elder sister as well. There wasn't much of a difference in the figure between the sisters, it was just that Cheng Lingran had a little more sex appeal than Cheng Lingsu. After freshening up, everyone went to sleep.

Jiang Xiu and Cheng Lingsu were naturally in the same room.

Cheng Lingsu dried her wet hair with a towel then said, "Shall I sleep on the bed today too?" No matter from which angle, these words sounded pompous. According to how things were developing currently, both of them would have to remain married.

After saying such words, Cheng Lingsu instantly buried herself under the blanket.

Jiang Xiu didn't say a word, but his thoughts were something else entirely. Cheng Lingsu, since when did you start being so obedient. What happened to the girl who did her utmost and even forced me to remove the engagement.

He suspected that Cheng Lingsu had intentionally taken out the marriage certificate.

Wang Xintong's home was right opposite to the window. He could see a woman holding a glass of wine in front of the opposite window. She humbly toasted towards Jiang Xiu, possibly to congratulate him for winning the battle today then gulped the entire class down. She picked up her cell phone and called Jiang Xiu after that.

Jiang Xiu looked at Cheng Lingsu who was on the bed but still decided to answer it. Wang Xintong's voice came from the other end, she appeared a little excited. "My father and I came to watch today."

After all, this battle was the decisive factor for their survival.

"It was quite shocking. Everyone is trying to guess your cultivation level. Even the Demigod Ranking has changed overnight. You rose up to 3^rd rank and are now the No. 1 Demigod in China."

"As your spokesperson, my phone kept ringing off the hook tonight. Many martial arts families from China wish to meet you, and many big shots wish to send their children to pay respects to you and become your disciples."

"Tell me about the important things!" Jiang Xiu replied.

"No one expected the Jiang family would fall. At the moment this colossal monster was subjugated by you, our industries in Jiangnan, as well as the Imperial Capital, have resumed normal operation. Moreover, since a huge deficiency was left in Jiangnan's market due to the disappearance of many officials and big shots, Mayor Gu has received orders from the Diaoyutai to act on it. We also need to consolidate everything and do it fast, so I'm planning to leave for there tomorrow."

All of this had happened because Jiang Xiu won the battle. If he had lost, the Jiang family would've survived, and the void in Jiangnan's market would've all fallen into Jiang family's hands.

The winners take it all and the losers get nothing, such has been the case since ancient times.

"I can't accompany you!"

Wang Xintong's tone lacked luster. The upcoming days would keep her very busy.

"The important things!" Jiang Xiu said again.

Wang Xintong got angry because of this. To her, this was an important thing. It was like this every time. Whenever she tried to get close to him, he pushes her away. She too felt helpless about this. "How do you plan to handle the Ji family?"

"I'll personally go visit the Ji family."

"Okay!"

After hanging the call, Jiang Xiu began to ponder. There was no doubt Ji Wudao was a God. As for the secret to how he achieved this was something that would unravel after he visited the Ji family, but it was also possible Ju Wudao took that secret with him to his grave.

However, Jiang Xiu didn't have any other choice except to kill him. It was pretty strenuous for a Demigod to control the saber knife which was a godly weapon. It had exhausted all his divine force. If he had left Ji Wudao alive, the question wasn't whether he could pry out the secret from the other party's mouth but rather that he couldn't attack like before again. For his own safety, he decided to kill Ji Wudao in the end.

Moreover, he was also confident that since Ji Wudao could do it, he too could find a way to become God. He had absolute faith in that.

When he turned back, he discovered Cheng Lingsu gazing at him with her bright pupils under the darkness of the night. She immediately turned to the other side when he discovered her.

Jiang Xiu was displeased, "I never knew you also had the habit of eavesdropping on people's phone calls."

Cheng Lingsu ignored him. This room is only so big. How can someone go to sleep if you are speaking on a call in such a place? I didn't even say anything to you so why are you blaming me for eavesdropping?

Jiang Xiu got up and took a pair of clothes to change then entered the bathroom.

A night passed by silently.

On the morning of the next day, Sun Xiaohong got up pretty early. She initially had a pretty lethargic nature, but after becoming bankrupt, she became very diligent and also understood the value of her work. She bought breakfast early in the morning and arranged it in a box for Jiang Yi who was at the hospital.

As Jiang Yi was Annan's Mayor, he wouldn't tarry here at the Imperial Capital for long and would at most remain here for another day before returning back along with Lin Yueling. Her daughters would also go back to university sooner or later so the work would all fall into her hands then.

"You're up so early!"

"Yes. Sister-in-law, you're also up pretty early."

Sun Xiaohong noticed that Lin Yueling didn't look that well, so she inquired about it, "Sister-in-law, you weren't able to rest properly? Why don't you go take another nap? I'll handle things here."

After returning back yesterday night, Lin Yueling couldn't sleep at all, tossing and turning around restlessly. It wasn't because she was having difficulties sleeping in a new place but rather because she was worried. She really didn't know what do about this matter. She and Jiang Yi knew that Jiang Xiu had done that with Nangong Kou'er due to falling into a trap, and they naturally wouldn't reveal this, but the issue was the victim, i.e., Nangong Kou'er.

"Morning!"

Cheng Lingsu also woke up and came down from upstairs. Youths were different. They recover their liveliness again just after a night. Lin Yueling revealed a smile towards her, "You're up. Come have breakfast."

Lin Yueling became worried again after seeing Cheng Lingsu. She wondered how Cheng Lingsu would react after knowing after that matter. If she wrote it off with magnanimity, that would be good, if not… that would be a headache.

"Ranran isn't up yet?"

"Ranran!"

Soon after, Cheng Lingran also came down. All of them had breakfast together. Song Xiaohong said, "I'll stay with your father so both of you can return to school with ease. You can come to visit after classes end. If my hands get full, I'll call for the nurses' help."

Her daughters nodded cleverly.

"Susu, where's that stinky brat?"

After waking up, Cheng Lingsu had discovered that Jiang Xiu had fallen asleep beside her. She guessed that he couldn't sleep well on the sofa and got on the bed as he was too tired due to the battle yesterday.

"Maybe it's better to let him sleep longer."

As she said this, Jiang Xiu also came down from upstairs with his usual cold face. He didn't sit beside Cheng Lingsu but rather sat beside Cheng Lingran then said, "Sis, what time are your classes today?"

"At 7:30 AM. I need to hurry or else I might be late. I can't miss this class."

"Let's go together then."

Back then, Lin Yueling was forcing Jiang Xiu to transfer to a university in Jiangnan as she was worried the Jiang family would destroy Jiang Xiu but now, the Jiang family had instead fallen, so there was no need to transfer at all.

"Why are you in a hurry? Let Ranran go first. Aren't most of your Archaeology Dept. classes on hold anyways?" Lin Yueling commented.

Cheng Lingran was running out of time so took a steamed bun with her and prepared to leave. Susu also got up after that, "Sis, let's leave together." She also took a bun with her and got up.

Soon after, Sun Xiaohong also packed things and left for the hospital, leaving Jiang Xiu and his mother behind.

"Mother, isn't everything settled already? Why did you tell me to stay behind?"

"Settled? You really have the nerve to say that. Did you forget what you did? The Jiang family's issue is settled, but what about the Nangong family? We're in the wrong this time."

Jiang Xiu finally understood the reason. His mother was worried about Nangong Kou'er's matter. "Mother, that… I am innocent."

"I don't care whether you are innocent. Handle it properly, got it? Don't let Susu know about it."

"Okay, can I go to class now?"

"Go!"
