Girl, I'll Teach You Cultivation

Cheng Lingsu knew her miserable fate was about to begin. This devil who she feared as well as hated would torment her indefinitely. You were acting so nice in front of Sis but see, you've revealed your true instincts once she left

"I won't go…"

"I WON'T GO!"

She screamed in her mind, but no matter how much she shouted, she still followed behind Jiang Xiu obediently.

A black Benz came over, and the driver came down from it to open the door for him, greeting him as 'Mr. Jiang' respectfully.

The wetland villa was a place even more high-end than the home Cheng Lingsu used to live in. The villa's interior was calm, and there was no servant here. This made her even more nervous.

Her face turned pale when she realized that she would live alone with him in such a big villa. She feared that no one would even hear her screams for help.

"This Deity lacks a maid here. From now on, the laundry, cleaning, washing, cooking will be handled by you. If this Deity is dissatisfied with any of it, this Deity will drown you in the wetlands outside."

Jiang Xiu said it in a flat tone, but she knew that he would definitely do it.

"Jiang Xiu, don't act too excessively. I've only come to live here temporarily."

"Why should I act as your maid?"

Cheng Lingsu wanted to resist. She felt that her future would be over entirely if she blindly obeyed him.

"Why?"

Jiang Xiu laughed coldly, "Because your tiny life is in this Deity's hands."

Cheng Lingsu's face was pale, but she still braved herself to speak out, "Don't scare me, Jiang Xiu. Others might be scared of you and may flatter you while saying 'Mr. Jiang', however, I'm not afraid. If you really force me to do these, I'll go file a case against you. I've witnessed you kill people with my own eyes."

"Go then. This Deity won't stop you."

"Don't think I won't…" She really opened the door, but she was left stupefied when she did and saw a man standing outside.

This man looked around 50 years old and had slightly grizzled hair. He wore spectacles and appeared quite dignified. The person beside him was just about to press the doorbell. When he saw the door open, he introduced himself. "This humble person is Gu Dezhi."

"May I ask if Mr. Jiang is at home?"

The reason why Cheng Lingsu was dazed is that she knew who this man was. It was the no. 1 person in the Jiangnan province, the genuine leader of the border region.

Jiangnan's most influential power holder!

She had seen him on television several times, but it was her first time seeing him in person.

"H-He's inside…"

"I heard that Mr. Jiang has displayed his godly might at the Bayview Platform, so I've boldly taken the liberty to pay a visit."

Cheng Lingsu couldn't believe her ears. OH GOD! He killed people, and the leader of Jiangnan's border region has come to praise him? What has this world become? Has everyone gone insane?

Ironical. This is too ironical. And I even planned to file a case against him. W-What am I supposed to do now?

Cheng Lingsu was stupefied.

"Let's speak inside."

Jiang Xiu stood in the drawing room loftily. His expression was indifferent as always like that of Buddha's inside a temple when facing an official from Jiangnan's border region. In Jiang Xiu's eyes, these ordinary people were akin to dust, no matter who it was.

Gu Dezhi felt surprised after seeing Jiang Xiu's manners. He had seen several big shots but never seen anyone so proud like him. He also felt quite afraid due to what he heard about the battle on the Bayview Pavilion.

"What are you doing standing there like an idiot? Go prepare the tea."

Cheng Lingsu recovered her sense only now.

After both of them took a seat, Jiang Xiu asked him, "Has Secretary Gu come here to discuss something with this Deity?"

Gu Dezhi wore a superficial smile on his face, "The reason I've made this trip is to meet the 20-year-old Demigod of the rumors. Naturally, I've also come to complete my mission to invite Mr. Jiang in becoming a member of our organization."

"You aren't going to invite me as a special forces soldier or something, right?"

Gu Dezhi sighed, "Truthfully, my Gu family's foundation is at the military. After the death of my father, our influence has been weakening day by day."

"In this era, there aren't many wars. It's mostly debates or contests which happen inside the army now, and mainly focused on the Grand Competition. My Gu family had ranked 2nd from the last among the 8 corps that participated in it."

Jiang Xiu felt that it's no better than ranking the last.

"That's why we wish to invite Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Xiu shook his head, "This Deity isn't interested."

Gu Dezhi became worried, "Mr. Jiang, please don't refuse immediately and think it over. There's no harm in hearing the conditions of my Gu family. Though people like Mr. Jiang are quite famous among the public and Jianghu, the elegance brings nothing. However, everything is different if you hold an army rank."

"It'll bring honor and respect."

"If Mr. Jiang agrees to it, you can have the position just below the General rank. You can elevate your rank with deeds. As Mr. Jiang is so young, it's possible you might reach the General rank rather quickly."

Jiang Xiu still refused.

"This Deity's ambitions lay somewhere else."

Gu Dezhi smiled helplessly, "Mr. Jiang naturally disdained things like these, but Mr. Jiang is still living in the mortal world. You have parents so you'll eventually take in a wife who will give birth to your child. Mr. Jiang must surely want to ensure their safety?"

Jiang Xiu was stunned. He muttered to himself then said, "If Secretary Gu promises me one thing, this Deity might agree to it."

Gu Dezhi became exalted after hearing this.

"Mr. Jiang, please tell me…"

"This Deity's father was an official 10 years ago but was sent to prison due to a crime. This Deity wishes for that verdict to be reversed and that he recovers his former post."

"That's…"

This matter was very inconvenient. First, this case was already 10 years old, and even if it is overturned, it wasn't easy to reinstate the post.

Gu Dezhi clenched his teeth, "We can do it!"

Jiang Yi was already 43 this year and quite old, but he was quite young when considering officialdom. Most importantly, he was living like a dead person right now. Jiang Xiu believed that his father would definitely recover if his post were reinstated.

"Find this Deity after you've done it."

Jiang Xiu's mood became better after Gu Dezhileft.

"Why?"

Cheng Lingsu's voice came through. She seemed very dispirited.

"I'm asking why did Secretary Gu act so respectfully to you?"

"Why did he ask you to accept an army position?"

Cheng Lingsu couldn't understand. Her eyes glistened with tears.

"You're obviously a murderer!"

"What do you think?" asked Jiang Xiu.

"They are afraid of you!"

Jiang Xiu shook his head, "You're only half-correct. They are afraid. But the main reason is that they know there's no use in offending me and even possible that they would attract a calamity. If you witness your companion being killed by something supernatural, for example, a ghost, will you say that a ghost killed him?"

Cheng Lingsu shook her head.

"This Deity is that kind of supernatural existence."

"This Deity is a God!"

After saying this, he turned around and went inside, "Wash this Deity's laundry properly, just like how you did it last time, a hand-wash. It should be sparkling clean."

Cheng Lingsu's thoughts wandered. Stop conning people. You aren't a God, you are a Devil. Don't try to deceive me with these lies.

Only, she had to admit one thing. That was that Jiang Xiu possessed supernatural powers. She felt that this was the reason Secretary Gu had come to invite him into the army to indirectly provide him amnesty.

The highly intelligent 2nd Young lady of the Cheng family had instantly figured out the crucial point, but she could only despair after figuring this out. Since even Secretary Gu was providing a means to give him amnesty, there was no way she could do anything to him.

After Gu Dezhi went out, he immediately made a call to Gu Dekang of the Army. After Old Man Gu had passed away, they both worked in different fields, one in the military and the other as an official. One was an official at the border region while the other reigned in the Army. Although it looked quite grand on the surface, the foundation of the Gu family was already lost. It was just a shadow of its former image now.

"Mr. Jiang agreed."

Gu Dekang asked, "By Mr. Jiang, do you mean that person who killed the Wang family's Demigod?"

"Yeah!"

"I feel this matter is quite strange. Brother, although you don't practice martial arts, have you ever heard of a 20-year-old Demigod? You haven't, right? Even I haven't heard of such a person ever."

"But the rumors outside all say it."

Gu Dekang's hair on the temples had grizzled, and his face was quite dignified, "How can we believe those rumors of Jianghu? Most of them were often unfounded. There are only around 20 Demigods in this age. I feel like those people are just boasting and will be completely terrified when they have to reveal their abilities."

"But many people witnessed him kill the Wang family's Demigod."

"The Army's secret files show that the Wang family's Demigod, Wang Jianzhi had already died 60 years ago. That person couldn't have been Wang Jianzhi."

"It's a common trick in Jianghu to ride on the back of others to make their reputation rise."

"What?" Gu Dezhi was stunned. "But what about the witnesses? They had fought a battle on water and Qian River isn't that an easy place to stand on."

"It could have been a light movement art. You simply don't know what kind of existences Demigods are."

"Then we shouldn't invite him then?"

"No need! I have already arranged things here." Gu Dekang said, "We've found the location of Bodhi Gene…"
