However, let's keep the topic brief. What happened tonight should not be casually leaked, not even to family.
"By the way, Jiang Jiewen, here’s your talisman back. Thanks to it, it really worked tonight. Where did you get this talisman?" Jiang Shi shifted the topic, pulling out a small jade pendant from his pocket and handing it to his daughter.
"Uh, this was given to me by a friend. Dad, you can hold onto it for now, and I'll take it back after the case is over," Jiang Jiewen replied, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes. After all, her father held a strong prejudice against Jiang Chen; if he knew it was from him, he would surely react strongly. So Jiang Jiewen quickly brushed it off, fearing further questions. She feigned surprise and asked, "Dad, is this talisman really effective? Can you tell me what happened? I promise Mom and I won't tell anyone."
Although Jiang Shi was reluctant to share, he couldn't resist the persistent inquiries from his daughter and wife. Trusting them both, he recounted the events of the night in general terms. He expected his wife and daughter to be shocked by the story, but to his surprise, while his wife looked utterly astonished and incredulous, his daughter showed no signs of surprise at all.
"Honey, is this really true? Are there really such powerful people in this world? Isn’t this like something out of a martial arts novel?" Jiang Jiewen's mother appeared very surprised.
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it either. Of course, my knowledge is limited; there are things I can't comprehend and people whose abilities truly exceed our understanding. By the way, Jiang Jiewen, why do you look so unfazed?" Jiang Shi asked his daughter with a puzzled expression.
"The world is vast and full of wonders," Jiang Jiewen replied with an awkward smile. She couldn't exactly say that the two martial arts experts her father saw were nothing compared to Jiang Chen.
"You young people have quite a strong capacity for acceptance," Jiang Shi muttered, sensing something was off about his daughter but unable to pinpoint what it was.
"By the way, Dad, is there some treasure on Qingyi Mountain? Why do those two go up there every night?" Jiang Jiewen continued her questioning.
"On Qingyi Mountain, there's a Longan Pool. Those two mentioned something about Yin Ling Zhi Jing—whatever that is. It sounds so mystical that I almost feel like I've stepped into a martial arts novel," Jiang Shi laughed, finding everything a bit surreal.
Hearing her father's words, Jiang Jiewen fell into deep thought. After pressing her father for more information, she soon learned the ins and outs of the situation. However, this kind of thing wasn't new to her; what mattered was that if there was indeed something like Yin Ling Zhi Jing in that Longan Pool, it had to be valuable for Jiang Chen's cultivation. So she began to plan in her mind how to inform Jiang Chen about it. It seemed she was right to have him stay.
"Jiang Jiewen, what are you thinking about?" Jiang Shi asked when he noticed his daughter lost in thought.
"Dad, there's actually something I’ve been thinking about that I feel is necessary to tell you—it's about Jiang Chen," Jiang Jiewen suddenly said with a serious expression.
Upon hearing Jiang Chen's name, Jiang Shi's face immediately darkened.
"Why are you bringing him up again?" His emotions were clearly resistant towards Jiang Chen.
