Chapter 41: Star Chart Formation
ten rule of an eye for an eye and a debt for a debt, just like the rules set by followers of the Legalists school of thought, just like the military regulations established by martial arts masters......“I refuse!” Jingli said loudly.
This woman is too vicious.
It's clear he intends to harm his younger brother's Buddhist aspirations and obstruct his path to enlightenment. As his elder brother, he cannot simply stand by and watch.
But he heard the voice of his junior brother behind him say, “If Miss Yulan doesn’t mind, you can stay here for a while.”
>
"Junior brother!" Jing Li turned back, giving him a wounded look.
Here's the English translation, keeping the HTML tags:

How could he not understand his senior brother's good intentions
Jiang Wang reached out and patted Jing Li's shoulder: "Alright, little junior brother, leave this to me."
The voice was gentle, but the attitude was very firm.
Lian Yuchuan was unlike Bai Yuya, who truly decided to abandon her country, nor like Lin Xian, who had no one to guide her. Taking her in as a disciple wasn't very suitable. However, letting her stay as a witness wasn't a problem. Xiang Guo didn't want to offend him, and he didn't have the intention of making enemies everywhere.
It's good to have a tacit understanding with each other.
Jingli blinked her eyes, looking slightly wronged as she said, "Alright."
"Even if the master is abandoned, Jade Chulan can—" Jade Chulan originally wanted to say that she could be a bodyguard, but thinking about it, it seemed like no one in this tavern needed her protection. She thought about helping out in the kitchen, but she didn't have the skill for that either. Finally, she said, "Serve the dishes."
Jiang Wang said softly, “If this is the kind of work that makes you feel more at ease, then it’s fine.”
Before arriving at the Star Moon Origin, even Yuchuan's mood was rather apprehensive.
She had witnessed the grandeur of Emperor Qi's reign firsthand, hearing tales of his glorious deeds until her ears ached. But she had never truly interacted with him. She wondered what it would be like to spend time with him, if he would be haughty and overbearing.
This posture is extremely humble, it is for the country that it is so.
She, even though she was proud and aloof by nature, had lingered outside the building for a long time. It was all for the sake of national stability that she had to come. She didn't know what she would face.
But at this moment, a sudden sense of relief washed over him. This peerless prodigy who once stirred up chaos throughout the world and even moved the clouds in every direction was not someone who was shrewd and manipulative, skilled in diplomacy. His words and actions were rather free-spirited and unrestrained, yet there was an inherent power that brought a sense of peace and security.
>
Somehow believable.
"And after that, she just followed her master's orders." She smiled softly, blooming like a lotus flower, leaving many of the drunken patrons speechless.
"As for the wages, just discuss it with Bai Guanjiu later." Jiang Wang smiled faintly and walked toward the backyard.
The head of Baiyu Jing Wine House is going to deal with that pitiful assassin.
Let's see which assassin this is, their professional level is so crude.
Jing Li followed his junior brother step by step, and even Yu Chan curiously trailed behind him.
Bai Yu's flaws beckoned a waiter to sit behind the counter for him, and he got up gracefully, going to the back garden.
The crack of the wood splitting in the backyard was a constant sound.
Every sound's interval, volume, and timbre are completely identical.
Experts know how rare this is, because there’s no wood exactly alike in the world. This means that every stroke Lin Xian makes needs to be adjusted perfectly the instant it touches the wood, to make everything so unified.
He was so focused, each slash felt like he was attacking his worst enemy.
In this near-constant cracking sound, the mental pressure on the young assassin locked in the firewood shed can be imagined.
When the firewood shed door opened, the light from outside suddenly flooded in, striking his face. Han Shao, with his cheeks full of scars, squeezed his eyes shut abruptly, then slowly opened them again.
As his death approached, he had to see his enemy one last time, cursing them with resentment.
Then he saw a face that was unusually young, gentle and pretty.
Behind this person stood a beautiful woman with exquisite features and a handsome young man with skin as white as jade. But it was obvious that both of them were centered around this person.
This must be Jiang Wang, he thought.
Then he heard the man ask him— “Why have you come to stab me”
Why
Han Shao thought for a moment, then suddenly became furious and shot upwards: "You dare ask why!"
But completely... unable to move!
Even the person in front of him didn't make any move.
It was just the man chopping wood in the courtyard who cast a glance.
One look froze him in his tracks!
Han Shao was frozen in place.
Then Jiang Wang slowly crouched down, looking at him eye to eye: "Shouldn't I ask why"
Han Shao gritted his teeth and said, "I am Han Shao, from Wuxing Prefecture in Daxia. Now you know who I am!"
Jiang Wang naturally knew.
Now it is the year three ninety-two of the Daoli era, and the Xia Kingdom no longer exists in this world.
Attacking Xia was a battle fought with the purpose of achieving lasting peace. It aimed for a long period of stability and tranquility. The people were treated with utmost care, and no harm was inflicted upon them. There was no bloodshed or violence. Those who surrendered were pardoned, and even those who resisted were shown leniency.
But there was one exception, namely Tian Anping's troops. He didn't even care about the lives of Qi soldiers, how could he care about the lives of people from Xia In the Battle of Toucheng where Tian Anping killed Yi, 90,000 out of 100,000 Qi troops died. Whose responsibility is it to alleviate the hatred of the Qi people

After the war, Wuxing Prefecture was in ruins, the most devastated of all the prefectures in Xia. If not for the timely capture of Guyi City and the swift surrender of the Xia Emperor, Wuxing Prefecture would have suffered even worse.
Although it didn't appear in military reports, news was also blocked within the former Xia territory.
>
But as for Han Shao, a native of Wuxing Prefecture, what he experienced can also be roughly imagined.
The problem is...during the Qi Xia War, Wuxing Prefecture belonged to the northern battlefield, while General Wu'an Hou was active on the eastern battlefield. They were completely in different locations!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Jiang Wang did not say that.
Although Xia has been destroyed, he understands that people from Xia who still remember their homeland would come seeking revenge.
The people of Xia, who had suffered greatly, held him responsible for their plight. He was the second highest ranking general after Cao Jie in the Qi-Xia War and despite this, he made no defense.
He asked only, "Then Han Shao, who are you seeking revenge for For the State of Xia, or for yourself"
Han Shao gritted his teeth and said, "What does it matter for the Xia Kingdom What does it matter for myself"
Jiang Wang said softly, "Tell me, who can represent the Xia Kingdom today The Xia Emperor, King Min, or you Now, the Xia Emperor is Duke Anle, and King Min is the Marquis of Qi. Where is your Xia Kingdom"
Han Shao was speechless for a moment.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
During the time of Emperor Xia, Anle Bo went mad and brought calamity upon the nation. When Anle Bo was in power, he didn't think about Xia at all. How could people remember Xia Today's Southern Border of Qi is a testament to good governance. Su Guan and Ying Shi Ming Cheng, one skilled in literature and the other in martial arts, have managed Nanxia exceptionally well. The people of Xia do not miss Xia.
Han Shao actually always understood that he was one in a million. What he yearned for wasn't Xia Guo itself, but the life he and Xia Guo had shared before its destruction.
Jiang Wang asked again, "If it's for revenge on your own behalf, there are so many Xia generals, why did you choose me"
Han Shao gritted his teeth and said, "You're the most famous. And since you're not in Qi, I might have a chance to escape if I kill you."
"That's quite reasonable," Bai Yu-xia couldn't help but laugh.
"I don't know whether to call you stupid or smart." Jiang Wang shook his head. "If I called you stupid, you'd come to assassinate me. If I called you smart, you'd still come to assassinate me."
Han Shao roared, "If you're going to kill me, just do it! Don't waste my time with all this talk I don't understand!"
Jiang Wang smiled and extended a finger, lightly drawing across.
At that moment, Han Shaoli's blood flow stagnated, his breathing stopped, and he fell into unconsciousness!
In the terrifying abyss of infinite falling, he was filled with sorrow, pain, regret, but all dissipated. That was it, that was how he died, like an ant—
He suddenly opened his eyes and gasped for breath, realizing he was still alive!
The ropes binding him were also cut, and the shackles imposed by that woodcutter's gaze had vanished.
He saw Jiang Wang shake her head and said casually, "Let's go."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Han Shao stood there, at a loss.
“Everyone has their role on the battlefield, no need to speak of intentions. Once I remove my armor, I only seek what pleases me and am too lazy to dwell on old grievances. Today, I happen to be in a good mood, so I'll let you go this time.” Jiang Wang rose to his feet: “You’ve already died once, cherish your new life. I'm not someone who is merciful, don't come back seeking death next time.”
He no longer cared about this summer resident, and left the place with Jingli and Lian Yuchang.
Lin Xian continued chopping firewood, while Bai Yu Xia yawned boredly and went to the kitchen to inspect it.
For a moment, no one paid any attention to Han Shao. As an assassin who had been captured and released, he sat on the floor of the firewood shed, dumbfounded for a long time.
Then, having dealt with that little matter, Jiang Wang led the two people back upstairs. As they walked, he casually said, "Let's go see where you'll be staying. For the next while, we'll all be practicing together here."
He gazed intently at Lian Yuchun: "When things are resolved, you can go back then."
Of course Lian Yuchang understood. "Things being settled" meant the emissaries from Zhuang Guo would leave Xiang Guo.
She had a mind to ask the host why they didn't cut off the problem at its root and kill the Summer Kingdom man, but in the end, she only let out an "um."
Three people went upstairs, their footsteps gradually becoming quieter.
When they reached the fourth floor, Xi Ming happened to be coming down after settling his bill. He nodded at Jiang Wang in greeting.
The staircase is quite spacious, wide enough for five people to walk abreast, almost bumping shoulders.
Jiang Wang's smile was warm, his eyes slightly drunk with wine.
Jing Li looked intently at the playbill.
This should have been in a paragraph.
Lien Yuchan didn't know who this person was. The two swords at her waist trembled for no reason, and she raised her hand to press down on them.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Jiang Wang suddenly asked, "Brother Xi, why not meet on the rooftop"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Xi Ming suddenly stopped his steps downstairs and said in surprise, "Is it convenient"
Jiang Wang pointed at Jing Li, and with a smile, said in a double entendre, "This is the gate of convenience."
The term "convenient door" originally referred to the path Buddhism provides for people to enter the faith. Later, it evolved to mean a convenient way or path to accomplish something.
Xì mì mí mí yī xiào: "Zěn me bù kè qí rú cóng mìng."
Then the four of them went upstairs and directly to the top floor.
Jiang Wang found several cushions and asked the three to sit down. This room, where he usually meditated and cultivated, was empty and devoid of any decoration. Even with four people sitting together, it wasn't crowded at all.
"Brother, is this business something that needs to be done in the Star Moon Origin recently" Jiang Wang asked.
The astrologer's posture was very orthodox, stiff and proper. He smiled upon hearing this and said, "Almost."
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
His smile gave the impression that he wasn't one to smile often, but when he did, it was a very standard, practiced grin. The curve of his lips seemed as if it had been measured with a ruler.
"To my surprise, you could stay in Baiyijing for a while. We can discuss cultivation together," Jiang Wang said unexpectedly.
Xi looked at Ji with surprise and said, “Brother Jiang knows me”
Jiang Wang said, "Before today, I didn't know him/her."
Since we don't know each other, then...
"This is exactly why I invited you."
Zhang Gaojian sent Lin Zhengren as his emissary. His plan to lure Jiang Wang's hand involved three steps: first, convene a discussion on the inscription of the Shengling Monument; second, hold a ritual to worship the souls of those who died in Fenglin; and finally, desecrate Song's remains.
Please note that I removed the extra "" as they were not part of the content you wanted translated.
This was revealed by Lin Zhengren.

As long as Jiang Wang could hold his breath, these things wouldn't harm him.
>
And what he deduced was that Zhuang Gao Xian, using the life and death of Zhuang Guo's emissaries as a trap, as long as there was enough evidence to prove that he had no time to kill Lin Zhengren, this scheme would fall apart on its own.
Here is the translated content:

Can a day of twelve hours spent inseparably by the glass Buddha son of Hanging Temple prove it
Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!
The daughter of the Grand Minister of Elephant Kingdom, who your envoy from Zhuang Nation is visiting, is inseparable from him for twelve hours a day. Isn't that proof enough
A merchant, who had never interacted with him before and could arouse Jingli's vigilance, would occasionally come to Baiyijing to meditate and practice. Isn't that enough proof
In this situation, even if someone saw Jiang Wang kill Lin Zhengren with their own eyes, it wouldn't count!
If Zhuang Gaoxian wanted to forcibly frame someone, it would only expose his own methods and be useless.
As for the origins and motives of this "Playwright," Jiang Wang was not concerned at present.
Xi Mie smiled: "Aren't you worried, am I just like what the little monk is worried about"
"Are you really here to do business" Jiang Wang asked.
The Oracle replied, "I'm really here to do business. Family business."
Jiang Wang said gently, “We have no grievances from the past and no enmity in the present. We can discuss anything and settle it together.”
>
“Then shouldn't we formally introduce ourselves” Xi asked playfully.
"When you feel it's right," said Jiang Wangdao.
With a thoughtful look, Xi Ming finally said, "Then let's wait a little longer."
"How about it Have you decided" Jiang Wang said, "I can give you a discount on the rent."
The plot probably didn't expect to have to pay rent either, and was taken aback.

Jiang Wang added, "Where do you live"
That makes sense.

"Then I'll trouble you," said Xi Meng politely.
"No trouble at all," Jiang Wang said softly, her eyes sincere: "Your room is next door, turn right when you go out, if you need anything, you can ask Bai Zhuang to purchase it. He's an honest person."
“...Alright.” Ximeng truly was someone of unknown origins. Hearing that they still needed to purchase things, he didn't hesitate, stood up and left.

Jiang Wang looked composed and said to Lian Yuchun, "Your room is on the left. You might as well go take a look first. If you need anything, just tell Bai Guan, he'll have it prepared for you."
Even Lian Yuchan politely thanked her and got up to leave.
In the vast silent chamber, only Jiang Wang and Jing Li remained.

Their eyes met.

Master Jingli gave a questioning look.
Here is your translated text: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Jiang Wang nodded.
Jing Li directly took off the quilt and started making the bed expertly. It was clear he wasn't used to being pampered. After all, he struggled to even tidy himself up; he always wore ragged clothes. It would be difficult to expect him to be delicate and well-kept.

Jiang Wang stretched out his hand to stop him. "What are you doing, little junior brother"
Jìng Lǐ nà mèn dào: "Wǒ wèn nǐ zánmén shì bùshì zhù zhé, nǐ bùshì diǎn tóu le ma" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Jiang Wang let out a sigh: “I thought you were asking about my fate... This is our meditation room. Bai Guanjia will have people clean up the living space for us. Put your bedding aside for now, you'll probably want to take it back to Xukong Temple later.”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Jing Li corrected, "It's Mount Sanbao. Our things, every stitch and thread, cannot be taken advantage of by others. That's what Master said."
Jiang Wang nodded in agreement and said, "Ku Jue Zhenren's ability to see through things is not without reason!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It was only then that Jing Li reacted: "What arrangement of fate are you talking about Should I go capture him"
Jiang Wang quickly grabbed him, "No, no, forget it! It's nothing! Just treat him as a passerby. Let's eat, drink, and cultivate."
They looked at each other, sat upright, and said, "If we're going to cultivate, then let's cultivate."
Finally, we seem to have gotten on the same page.
These days, Jiang Wang always manifests his soul in the Yu Heng Star Building to meditate. The old dragon Sen Hai always comes to chat.
Both parties seem to have become much closer and more friendly after their previous heart-to-heart talk. Old grievances are like smoke and clouds, both of them with big hearts, have let go of them.
What does it matter if the opportunity for enlightenment is destroyed Giving it to Guanyin isn't so bad, either!
What's the point of nearly being possessed It didn't even happen, right
One person, one dragon, talked happily together, their friendship deepening.
Isn't it also a kind of unspoken understanding
Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!
However, it seemed that Jiang Wang didn't care much about Mu Han Gong's legacy, not even mentioning it once. He was only interested in historical anecdotes, dragon clan secrets, and the love-hate relationship between the ancient Dragon Emperor Xi Hun and the Human Emperor Lie Shan...
>
I'm not a storyteller!
After all, he was concerned about the growth of the Human Race's prodigious talent, and looking forward to Jiang Wang's future. The ancient dragon, Morihiro, with a sincere heart, once again took the initiative to mention: "Speaking of Wu Han Gong's inheritance, I really think it suits you very well. You are such a talented genius, with such a perfect resume... If you don't perfectly comprehend the truth, it would be a real pity."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Jiang Wang sighed: "I'm a down-to-earth person. Shen Lin is far from reaching its end, and there are still many things to do here. Let's talk about it later!"
"Being down-to-earth is a good thing, but sometimes you also need to prepare for the future. Haven't you heard the saying 'When disaster strikes, it's too late' Wouldn't it be better if you prepared in advance"
Jiang Wang thoughtfully said: "I believe more in the celestial tree, weathering storms independently. That way, you can pass on a few more dragon clan secret techniques to me, so I can solidify my foundation."
Morihachirou wept, lamenting his plight: "I have always been upright and incorruptible, living a simple life. I was driven out of Cang Hai long ago and have little to my name. You are already a powerful cultivator at the Divine Presence realm with lofty aspirations. I have already given you one pupil technique, two soul-cultivation secrets, and four elemental arts..."
The Tai Xu Illusionary Realm Stage of the Dao had been tested and proven to be of excellent quality. Its effectiveness was remarkable, so much so that Lao Long didn't even have to lift a finger. Otherwise, Jiang Wang would have been too lazy to lend a hand.
"Oh, that's a shame." Jiang Wang sighed. "It's a pity that the starry sky is too far away, and the journey is dangerous and easy to get lost. My strength is low, and I'm really afraid of something happening. What if I wait until my cave is truly open By then, I should have more confidence"

“The foundation of a hole cannot be made up after it is dug. I was expelled by the treacherous Tai Yong because my foundation was not solid enough, and I couldn't compete with Guan Yan Xingjun afterwards. You see, one step behind, you are beaten step by step.” Sen Hai Lao Long was very concerned about Jiang Wang's situation. After giving himself as an example, he said, "Well, I still have a Dragon Clan Star Chart Xuan Gou ancient method here, passed down from the ancient Dragon Emperor. After you learn it, you won't get lost in the universe anymore. I was able to find Yuheng and locate Mu Han Gong's legacy because of this method.”
Jiang Wang was by no means a greedy person, and he also cared about the feelings of Lao Long, the ancient dragon. He politely declined with all his might: "Although I can really set off after learning it...but such a precious technique is not quite appropriate, right"
"As for us two—"
Then, thank you!
First things first, finally reached 30,000 orders, another milestone! All thanks to word of mouth. Thank you all!
The second thing is, that web novel scene was only enacted in the top thirty before. Now it's dropped to over thirty, let's all focus our efforts on "Knotting into Autumn Frost" by Jiang Wuqi.
