Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl

Chapter 97 - 97: 97 Dragon Valley Scripture Repository

“They’ll probably be here by noon tomorrow, ” replied Jiang Xiaobai.

Ao Cheng picked up his wine cup, ready to take a drink when his hand suddenly froze, and he turned to stare at Jiang Xiaobai.

“You… Are you up to some mischief again?”

“Jiang Xiaobai, I’m warning you, don’t overstep your bounds. I haven’t even squared accounts with you over the Ao Cangtian thing yet!”

As Ao Cheng spoke, he slammed the table, standing up.

From the looks of him, it seemed as if he would definitely strangle Jiang Xiaobai if he was up to any sort of mischief.

“I’m just a little Qi refiner, what ulterior motives could I possibly have?” Jiang Xiaobai laughed, already deciding in his heart, he must try to make use of her this time!

Not utilizing a holy maiden like Liu Xi would just be wasteful!

Following this, Jiang Xiaobai started to speak indirectly, wanting to find out the purpose of the Yuxian Sect’s visit to Long Valley this time.

However, even Ao Cheng didn’t know, as Liu Xi hadn’t discussed this matter with him.

In the end, Jiang Xiaobai could only give up, waiting till the Yuxian Sect’s people arrived tomorrow noon.

All day, Jiang Xiaobai was either plotting his next steps or chatting with Kong Yuhuai about alchemy to foster a better relationship.

It wasn’t until very late at night that he left Ao Cheng’s mansion and returned to his own courtyard.

Ao Yan wasn’t drinking tea this time. Instead, she was sitting at the table reading a book!

That’s right, she was reading a book!

Jiang Xiaobai almost couldn’t believe his own eyes. Ao Yan had changed so much since she finished her breakthrough.

More shockingly, Jiang Xiaobai found out that the book Ao Yan was reading was actually a love story from the mortal world.

He was dumbfounded.

“You lately, is there something about me that annoys you? If there is, just say it directly, won’t I change?” Jiang Xiaobai cautiously looked at Ao Yan.

Ao Yan only glanced up before continuing her reading.

Jiang Xiaobai became restless, she was acting too out of the ordinary.

Thankfully, Ao Yan put away the book after a while and sat cross-legged on the bed, preparing to start her cultivation.

At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai seized the opportunity and said, “By the way, I want to ask you about someone.”

“Ao Cangtian?”

“If it’s about him, you better not ask. Meddling in this matter is courting death, and I can’t save you,” warned Ao Cheng with eyes closed.

“And don’t even think about him. He is taboo in Long Valley, not to be mentioned, understood?”

Jiang Xiaobai was silenced by this and could only close his eyes to sleep.

However, his curiosity towards Ao Cangtian intensified. He now desperately wanted to figure out exactly what had happened!

Early the next morning, Jiang Xiaobai left his courtyard early and went into the library of Long Valley with Ao Yan’s token.

Not only did it contain numerous secret manuals, but it also had records of major events that had occurred in the Long Valley over the years.

Jiang Xiaobai did not hold out much hope initially; after all, a betrayal as serious as this wouldn’t have a detailed record, let alone be in this place.

But to his surprise, he actually found records about Ao Cangtian.

Ao Cangtian was the most dazzling martial arts genius in Long Valley for tens of thousands of years, second only to Ao Yan. His bloodline wasn’t that concentrated, but his potential was off the charts.

He started practicing when he was six and by the time he was sixteen, he had reached a Golden Core cultivation level. Remarkably, at that age, he defeated a Nascent Soul Stage practitioner!

Twenty years later he had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Late Stage!

His speed of cultivation was staggering!

Even more terrifying was his combat power. In his Nascent Soul Late Stage, he fought head on with a Transcendence Late Stage practitioner!

Even some weaker Dividing the gods Period cultivators could get into a fight with him!

From then on, Ao Cangtian became famous in one fell swoop, suppressing all his peerless rivals.

A hundred and ten years later, his cultivation had reached the peak of the Unity Period and he wasn’t far from reaching the Tribulation Stage!

That year was the most glorious time in Long Valley’s history.

Long Valley crushed numerous forces in the Eastern Region of the Tianxuan Continent, and was only suppressed by a few of the strongest transcendent forces.

Under such circumstances, it was very likely that Long Valley could completely evolve from a semi-transcendent force into a new transcendent force.

The problem was, Ao Cangtian was exceptionally talented, but he had an unyielding and arrogant temperament.

He offended numerous forces, and these enemies, too afraid to act due to Ao Cangtian’s and Long Valley’s power, still harboured resentment.

In the end, according to this ancient book, Ao Cangtian fell into a trap set by others. He was surrounded and attacked by many powerful adversaries, which eventually led to his death. Long Valley also fell from grace because of this.

The records ended here, and also, the descriptions of Ao Cangtian were brief, only mentioning a few noteworthy battles.

After closing the book, Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes.

It was obvious that Long Valley didn’t want people to know about past events, and it seemed that very few people in Long Valley knew about Ao Cangtian.

They wanted him to fade from memory.

This wasn’t the main point, the key was that Jiang Xiaobai knew about Ao Cangtian’s personality!

“There’s a problem. Although Ao Cangtian was arrogant and often made trouble, he was always vying for status and resources for the sake of Long Valley. He was fully devoted to Long Valley.”

“And it seems the next leader’s position was his. Under these circumstances, would Ao Cangtian betray Long Valley?”

“Even if he did betray Long Valley, given his personality, he wouldn’t be likely to collude with the Ancient Family. At least it should be at the level of a transcendent force.’

Jiang Xiaobai murmured to himself, continuously analysing events in his mind. In the end, he concluded that it was impossible for Ao Cangtian to betray Long Valley by colluding with the Ancient Family.

It didn’t make sense, because what the Ancient Family could give him, Long Valley could give him too!

Simply put, he lacks a motive!

“Who says it’s impossible?”

Just as Jiang Xiaobai was deep in thought, an aged voice suddenly sounded from the side.

Jiang Xiaobai quickly turned his head and saw an old man with white hair and a hunched back looking at him with a cold smile.

“Elder, did you hear everything?” Jiang Xiaobai asked, laughing awkwardly. “Heh, the library is so small, and my ears are not deaf.”

The old man responded coldly, looking rather questioning, “Are you very eager to know about Ao Cangtian?”

“Indeed, I have always been curious. How could someone like him possibly collaborate with the Ancient Family to betray Long Valley?” Jiang Xiaobai answered hurriedly.

The elder shook his head and laughed, “What you know is only one-sided, or rather, you only know what Long Valley wants you to know.” “If you want to know, follow me. This isn’t the place to talk.” The elder spoke and then hunched his back as he turned to leave.

Jiang Xiaobai followed joyfully.

Soon he followed the elder out of a small door behind the library and found a small courtyard outside.

“Please sit. I am also quite curious about you,” said the Elder..
