Chapter 1553: Chapter 1330 Red Dragon: The Elder Brother Can’t Come Anymore?_2

“Isn’t it just a normal invincible strongman?”

“An invincible one without great aspirations isn’t so terrifying, it’s fine as long as you don’t provoke them.” Mr. Tao said, somewhat surprised, “The senior is right, the scary ones are those with great aspirations and the ability.”

“But who can know for certain that there are none in the history of the present?”

“Even if there is none now, how can those who stand high and mighty be certain that there won’t be in the future?”

“Not having a sword and having one but not using it are two different things.”

“What they fear might not be the history of the present with a sword, but rather the history of the present that one day wants to swing the sword.”

“But who can be sure if they will want to swing the sword tomorrow?”

“That’s the endless fear, everyone wants to get rid of that thing.”

“Like a walking Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl.” Red Dragon nodded, “That’s true, but let them fuss if they love to. Mr. Tao, you should stay out of it.”

“The history of the present is truly invincible, genuinely invincible.”

“Unless the Human Emperor is alive, no one is their match.”

“Don’t look at how jubilant Ancestral Dragon is, at his peak, placed in the present era, aside from the history of the present, there are others who could exchange a couple of moves with him, far less terrifying than the history of the present.” Red Dragon said.

“Just a couple of moves?” Tang Ya inquired.

“A couple of moves is quite a lot, there’s probably only one such person in the present, you think.” Red Dragon said.

“Who?” Tang Ya inquired.

“Lend me some spirit stones and see if I tell you,” Red Dragon said.

“Not lending, you’re just trying to scam my spirit stones again,” Tang Ya instantly refused.

“You’re really smart,” Red Dragon said.

Tang Ya frowned, “I feel like you’re insulting me.”

Red Dragon, sipping tea, “Take away the feeling.”

Tang Ya: “…”

Mr. Tao pondered for a while, then said:

“It seems we don’t need to bother with this matter for now.”

“Don’t bother with it. Even if he doesn’t have the inclination, there’s no stopping him if he does,” Red Dragon said.

Mr. Tao nodded, “However, the Saint Bandits are different; they were supposed to fall into obscurity, but now they’re acting like they’ve gone mad.”

“They’ve even started causing chaos again.”

“But more people are displeased with them now.”

“With the arrival of a great era, a lot of things will start stirring.”

“With the Golden Dragon around, Mr. Tao should be in an invincible position,” Red Dragon said.

The news about Heaven Lock spreads fast, but reaching every department doesn’t happen so quickly.

Yan Yuezhi, who was in the academy, first learned the news.

She found out some from the stone pieces and some from the Corpse Ancestor.

Naturally, she knew who the history of the present was.

After all, she still had an Ancient and Modern Book in her possession.

Not only that, but she also knew how important the history of the present was to the academy.

As for whether this history of the present is the real one, it’s hard to say.

But it’s also an important matter.

After writing for a long time at her desk, Yan Yuezhi put down her brush and ink, closed the book.

Then she went to the backyard.

The backyard door was as simple as ever.

It seemed anyone could enter.

At that moment, a senior brother stepped in without any difficulty.

Yan Yuezhi watched for a long time then followed him over.

As she stepped forward, she paused.

Indeed, the threshold receded a step further back.

“It’s always like this, no novelty,” she said softly, and continued forward. This time, lifting her foot but not setting it down, waiting for the threshold to move back.

But this time it unexpectedly didn’t move back.

This surprised her somewhat.

She then stepped inside.

But just as she set foot, the threshold disappeared and reappeared in front of her.

Yan Yuezhi: “….”

It seems it will take another two or three days.

She was used to it, fortunately, it wasn’t a matter of urgency.

Thinking that those three sirs would not be too angry knowing she found out three days later,

For such a grand senior as the history of the present, they probably wouldn’t be too interested.

——

Noon.

Jiang Hao was walking on the road.

Since he was only following others, Jiang Hao didn’t mind if the others were dawdling.

Occasionally, he would chat with Heavenly Note Sect on the way.

“Do you think they’ll have a good ending?” Heavenly Note Sect asked.

“Hard to say,” Jiang Hao shook his head, “after all, people are different.”

Some people will do certain things, while others won’t.

“Will you intervene?” Heavenly Note Sect asked as he walked along the street.

People coming their way gradually moved aside to avoid them.

This time, people avoided them because of the influence of Jiang Hao’s Dao Pattern.

“The junior might have his own matters to attend to,” Jiang Hao said.

“You’ve meddled in the business of Shang An,” Heavenly Note Sect said with a smile, “Do you think Shang An will thank you for it?”

“Why should he thank me? I didn’t help him; on the contrary, I’ve been stopping him from looking for the Charm Goddess,” Jiang Hao replied with a smile.

“Aren’t you doing it for his own good?” Heavenly Note Sect asked.

“That’s what I think, but Shang An’s original intention was for the Charm Goddess,” Jiang Hao said with a smile.

“So, he’ll think you’re being nosy?” Heavenly Note Sect asked.

Jiang Hao shook his head, “That depends on who is facing the problem. A normal person would naturally think I’m being nosy since it affects someone else’s good fortune.”

“But if that person is facing danger, and I rashly intervene, they won’t think I’m nosy.”

“After all, I would be helping them escape the Sea of Suffering.”

“And my intention is to help, but the outcomes received are different.”

“Because the benefits they receive are different.”

“That is human nature.”

“When you intervene in a matter, there will always be someone who is dissatisfied.”

“Because there are three standpoints to every issue.”

“Aren’t you afraid of being resented?” Heavenly Note Sect asked.

“As a junior, I have never done anything for gratitude, so naturally, I don’t worry about resentment.”

“This is the standpoint of a third party, my standpoint,” Jiang Hao replied with a smile.

“You really see things clearly,” Heavenly Note Sect remarked offhandedly.

Jiang Hao looked around at the street bustling with people and said:

“Over time, you come to understand it all.”

“At first you may question human nature, then you get deeply mired in it, eventually you come to understand it, and finally, you transcend it.”

Hearing these words, Heavenly Note Sect paused and said, “Transcend human nature.”

After a moment of thought, Jiang Hao casually said, “I suppose that would be what a Saint is.”

At the mention of this word, Heavenly Note Sect’s pupils shrank slightly.

“So have you transcended human nature?” Heavenly Note Sect asked.

Jiang Hao shook his head, “How could I? I’m just an ordinary person.”

At that moment, Jiang Hao noticed Duanmu Wuji had already arrived at the Hu residence.

Although the Hu Family didn’t seem to pay much attention, he was still able to enter the mansion smoothly.

“The master and mistress will be here soon,” an attendant said.

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Wuji immediately nodded.

Then he asked Jiang Hao and the others to wait a moment longer.

As for the dog, he didn’t see it.

Jiang Hao wasn’t concerned about it and waited quietly.

After all, this was someone else’s story; disrupting it carelessly would spoil the fun.

Although he had thought about coming to deal with Meng Qian, his main interest was in watching the story unfold.

“They should be here soon; it seems they do take this quite seriously,” Jiang Hao remarked.

Heavenly Note Sect watched him with a smile that was not quite a smile.

No words were spoken.

An hour later, it had gotten dark.

Jiang Hao felt he had spoken too soon.

This was more than a lack of regard; it was outright disrespect.

Despite being the prospective groom, not only had no one come to meet him, but there wasn’t even a cup of tea offered.

And it seemed that Duanmu Wuji and Duanmu Qingqing had grown accustomed to it.

“They should be here soon,” Duanmu Wuji said anxiously, though that was all he could utter.

Jiang Hao nodded; the other party had already said it countless times.

It wasn’t until after dinnertime had passed that Jiang Hao finally saw someone coming in.

It was an attendant.

He came with an apologetic expression:

“I’m sorry, the master and mistress had a sudden appointment and won’t be back until tomorrow.”

“But we’ve been waiting for half a day already, at least let my daughter meet her mother,” Duanmu Wuji said politely.

“The mistress said that if the guests have any complaints, to let them know if they were able to wait two days when they first brought the marriage proposal, why can’t they wait now?

Have you developed a bit of strength and now think the whole world should accommodate you?

If you want to wait, then wait; no one is begging you to,” the attendant said with his head down.

Duanmu Wuji clenched his teeth: “…”

“Truly classic,” Jiang Hao couldn’t help but remark.

Heavenly Note Sect frowned deeply: “If you were treated like this, what would you do?”

She was asking Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao shook his head: “I’ve never encountered such a situation; I suppose I would feel displeased.”

He paused a moment, then added, “What about you, senior? If we switch the scenario, and it’s the woman going to the man’s family.”

“I wouldn’t wait,” Heavenly Note Sect said offhandedly.

Jiang Hao nodded; that was the prerogative of the powerful.

They can take what they want by force; who would choose to grovel?

At that point, Jiang Hao sensed the presence of the Heavenly Saint Sect.

“Back there, let’s go and meet her,” Jiang Hao stood up.

The backyard.

“Mother, please let me see them,” a pale-faced woman knelt on the ground, pleading.

“What if I say no?” the middle-aged woman said with a cold laugh.

“Then I’d rather die.”

“Go ahead and die then. Do you believe I won’t have someone go out and kill them right now? They’re nothing but a big and a small piece of trash.”

“…”
