Chapter 15: My son, you are truly talented!
[The white-robed woman's mistaken identity, you neither refuted nor confirmed.]
[You knew in your heart that if you admitted it directly, you would surely gain her immense favor and receive many benefits.]
[But you were also worried about being exposed, thinking that such a powerful cultivator might have some way to detect lies.]
[In the end, you chose to stay silent, letting her misunderstand. If she insisted on asking, you would then tell the truth.]
[Your silence was taken as tacit agreement by the white-robed woman.]
[Contrary to your expectations, she didn't bombard you with questions but instead informed you that she wanted to stay here for a few days and hoped you would agree.]
[Hearing this, you felt a bit panicked, wondering if you had gone too far. She actually mistook you for the owner of this place, something you had never anticipated.]
[You worried that if you were exposed, she might become enraged, and this simulation would come to an abrupt end.]
[However, you knew it was too late to deny it now, so you quickly nodded in agreement.]
[For the next few days, you were on edge.][But you were overthinking it; the white-robed woman didn't pay much attention to you at all.]
[She spent her days staring blankly at the ruins and the cemetery.]
[She seemed to consider herself a guest, not even bothering to rebuild the Heavenly Profound Temple.]
[While the white-robed woman was enjoying her stay, you grew increasingly anxious.]
[You felt something was off. It had been two days already, and she should be leaving tomorrow. Why hadn't she given you any benefits yet?]

[You began to suspect that you had overplayed your role.]
[You wondered if by pretending to be a disciple of the ruined sect, the white-robed woman thought everything you did was your duty, and thus didn't give you any rewards.]
[Another day passed in the blink of an eye. You remembered that in the last simulation, the white-robed woman had only stayed for three days, and today should be the day she left.]
[But the benefits you had been eagerly anticipating still hadn't arrived, leaving you disheartened.]
[Just then, the white-robed woman moved and came to your side.]
[She told you she was leaving.]
[She also informed you that this area was under someone's control, and cultivation was forbidden. If discovered, you would be hunted down. She advised you not to reveal your cultivation easily.]
[She also told you that while she could enter, she couldn't take anyone out, and hoped you could survive in this land.]
[After that, she drew a Breath Concealing Talisman on you.]
[Then she gave you two items, a jade plate and a storage ring.]
[She said the storage ring contained some cultivation resources.]
[The jade plate was a treasure called the Teleportation Jade Plate. When you encounter danger, you can activate it with spiritual energy to teleport randomly up to a thousand kilometers away, hoping it could save your life in critical moments.]
[She explained that the Teleportation Jade Plate could only be used three times and advised you not to use it lightly unless absolutely necessary.]
[Looking at these items, you were extremely excited, thinking that pretending to be a disciple of the ruined sect was a brilliant move.]
[This time, the white-robed woman gave you even more things. The Teleportation Jade Plate was practically a life-saving artifact, probably more valuable than the Breath Concealing Talisman and spirit stones.]
[Moreover, she revealed that this area was controlled and cultivation was forbidden, confirming your previous suspicions.]
[You didn't dwell on it further and quickly bowed to thank the white-robed woman.]
[When you looked up, she had already disappeared.]
[After the white-robed woman left, you didn't stay there for long.]
[You had planned this simulation for a long time, aiming to get the items she gave you and take them out as simulation rewards.]
[Then you would return to Green Hills City to investigate why the shadowy figure attacked the Jiang Family.]
[So, you returned to Green Hills City that same year.]
[It took you only three days to travel from the Evergreen Mountain Range back to Green Hills City.]
[When you arrived, you found the entire city plastered with reward notices.]
[Upon closer inspection, you realized they were all posted by the Jiang Clan Firm, looking for you.]
[You immediately understood that you had left secretly, and no one knew. Your father, Jiang Fushan, probably thought you were missing and posted the reward notices.]
[When you returned home, you found your father, Jiang Fushan, looking incredibly aged, unrecognizable from the last time you saw him.]
[At that moment, even though you knew it was just a simulation, tears welled up in your eyes.]
[Your heart was filled with guilt.]
[In the fourth year, you didn't cultivate but instead followed your father every day, saying you wanted to help him.]
[This touched your father, Jiang Fushan, who felt you had finally grown up, and your allowance increased significantly.]
[You felt a bit embarrassed, as your real intention wasn't to help with the business but to find out when the Jiang Family had offended a cultivator.]
[In the fifth year, you continued to pretend to learn business from your father, Jiang Fushan, but found nothing unusual.]
[In the sixth year, you had accompanied your father on many business trips, visiting many unfamiliar cities, broadening your horizons.]
[In the seventh year, your father, Jiang Fushan, felt you had learned enough about business and could handle things on your own, so he wanted you to take over the Jiang Clan Firm.]
[Your goal was to stay by your father's side to find out how the Jiang Family had offended the shadowy figure, not to run the business, so you naturally refused.]
[You shook your head repeatedly, saying you still needed to learn.]
[Your father was gratified, praising your eagerness to learn, and didn't force you.]
[Years passed in the blink of an eye.]
[In the eleventh year, the Jiang Clan Firm received a major business deal, requiring Jiang Fushan to travel to the Liang Kingdom.]
[The journey was long, taking more than half a year just to travel, and your father was worried about accidents on the way, not wanting you to accompany him.]
[You insisted repeatedly, even revealing some of your Martial Dao cultivation.]
[Jiang Fushan was overjoyed to see you easily subdue a group of guards, exclaiming, "My son, you are truly talented!"]
[Unsurprisingly, Jiang Fushan agreed to let you accompany him.]
[In the twelfth year, the business in the Liang Kingdom went smoothly, and you and your father, Jiang Fushan, began your journey back.]
[While passing through the Yuyang Mountain at the border of the Liang Kingdom and the Great Abyssal Kingdom, the ground shook violently, and a huge crack appeared not far from you.]
[Unable to slow down in time, your entire group fell into the crack.]
[With only the third level of Qi Refining and the seventh level of body tempering in Martial Dao, you couldn't fly and could only watch yourself fall.]
[You didn't know how long it took, but with a thud, you hit the ground.]
[The impact knocked you unconscious.]
