696: Chapter 468 696: Chapter 468 Jiang Tang activated the Flying Treasure and, upon leaving the base, prepared to change his route.
Since he was going to release the Elder of the North City Immortal Sect, he certainly intended to pass by the North City Immortal Sect.
He didn’t plan to visit the North City Immortal Sect and mingle with others; his best friend from the sect had already come out and was standing by his side.
As for those who were not so good and less capable—
It’s not that he lacked the conscience to assist them.
The last time, he had already sought out those friends once.
With different statuses, he just let them do as they pleased.
Jiang Tang’s Flying Artifact sped towards the outside and soon reached the skies above the North City Immortal Sect.
With a wave of his hand, the meditating Elder of the North City Immortal Sect, caught unawares, was sucked in like a piece of wood, as easily as if he were a tuft of cotton.
Before he could regain his senses, he found himself high in the sky outside, just about to shout at Jiang Tang to ask what was going on.
Jiang Tang’s Flying Treasure had already gone far, leaving the Elder alone in the high sky, dumbstruck.
When he looked down, he would recognize this place, even if it were turned to ashes—right above the main street of the Immortal Sect.
The Elder of the North City Immortal Sect really wanted to curse at the disappeared Flying Artifact and shout at Jiang Tang, calling him heartless for coming to the Immortal Sect and not entering, just leaving the Elder there in the sky.
Not only did he think so, but he had actually cursed Jiang Tang using his powerful abilities, but alas, that younger man, more powerful than the Elder, didn’t take his words to heart and did not even bother to respond.
Having no other option, the Elder of the North City Immortal Sect could only head back to the North City Immortal Sect first, to find the Sect Leader and some other Elders to come up with a plan.
He wasn’t planning to join forces with the Immortal Sect people against Jiang Tang; this man’s abilities exceeded even theirs, the Elders, and they still needed him to provide them with more Supreme Elixirs.
They wished for Jiang Tang to take up the role of an Elder as more than just a title.
Jiang Tang had cast out the Elder of the North City Immortal Sect from the Flying Treasure, without others’ knowledge.
His Flying Treasure was under his full control, and moreover, he had employed his unique Star-absorbing Spell; the speed was so fast that the people inside the Flying Treasure didn’t notice a thing.
Jiang Tang carried out his actions quietly, without even opening the transparent windows, so those inside couldn’t see outside.
Unless one used Divine Sense to continuously probe.
The people sitting on the flying ship were either subordinates, friends, or family members who trusted Jiang Tang implicitly.
While the treasure was in flight, they each attended to their own matters.
Jiang Tang was occupied with having private chats with nine beauties; this time, upon returning to the Imperial City, all nine beauties wanted to take Jiang Tang back to their families.
Bringing a future son-in-law could enhance their own status.
At this moment, all nine girls wanted to compete, not for first place, but for the chance to invite Jiang Tang to visit their families, hoping to have their man come to their home.
A contest between nine women for one man ensued in their private chats, a continuous debate to reveal which amongst them held the highest status in Jiang Tang’s heart.
As a man, even if I were to visit each of your families, it would have to be one by one.
Whichever one I visit first will make the others jealous, especially the last one, who will feel she has the lowest status.
At this point, he couldn’t help but wonder how in ancient times, with emperors having a multitude of concubines vying for attention, many women spent their entire lives without ever seeing the emperor’s face, let alone competing for favor.
In his helplessness, Jiang Tang could only let the nine women decide by drawing lots or playing rock-paper-scissors to determine the first or last in rank.
So, no matter how reluctant the nine women were, they all had to use the method of drawing lots to compete for the ranking of first place.
Cai Xiangxiang watched the many women always around Jiang Tang, talking and laughing.
Although they were arguing over an issue, it was also about vying for Jiang Tang’s favor by his side.
She yearned to stand beside Jiang Tang among those people and hoped for an opportunity to return to her hometown.
Her thoughts, however, could only be buried in her heart, secretly watching Jiang Tang converse with the numerous women.
Ye Qiu was observant and could tell from Cai Xiangxiang’s gaze that the person she liked, liked another man.
Such a feeling would give each man a profound sensation, but he knew his abilities were inferior, and in terms of appearance and all other aspects, he wasn’t as good as the other.
The strong are always admired, especially by women who prefer stronger men.
If he wanted to win Cai Xiangxiang, his only option was to persevere in his current relentless approach.
Of course, he had to chat more with Cai Xiangxiang and accompany her, showing her care and affection, trying to touch her heart with his attitude.
Cai Xiangxiang didn’t dislike Ye Qiu; it was just that this man hadn’t yet won her love.
As Ye Qiu chatted with her, she responded when asked, but sometimes she would remain silent, unwilling to answer some questions.
Yan Weiwei, of course, sat next to Ye Tian, their conversation varied and abundant, which no one else had the heart to interrupt, not wanting to be a third wheel.
Yan Weiwei’s family members were each busy with their own things, young and old were all out, making a lively scene.
Lai Jianlin and Luo Yaxuan took on the mission this time to head out and assist in the Imperial City, whether it be helping with tasks or buying land to build houses; eventually, it might include organizing people to open shops.
If necessary, they might also need to help recruit disciples.
It’s not to say that other places lacked talent; elite disciples could emerge from anywhere.
Coming from first or second tier families, if they could recruit more elite disciples for large families, that would be a direct competition with other Sects for disciples.
