Why are the Talismans I Drawn Banned Again?!

Chapter 255: Chapter 220 What Level?_2
With this talisman in hand, wouldn’t his position as Emperor of Liang be as easy as reaching into a bag?

“Good, when shall I bring the talisman to you?” Jiang Cheng asked.

Liang Hong was about to say as soon as possible, but then he thought of something, “Wait, I need to ask the Princess Consort first.”

Liang Hong activated a communication talisman and asked Hai: “I’m preparing to meet with Jiang Cheng, is Hai Lan going or not?”

“She will definitely go,” Hai stated definitively.

Hai Lan’s natural talent for cultivation is rather poor, and she’s not very diligent, so she hasn’t achieved Foundation Establishment yet.

For a Qi Cultivation Cultivator, her age is not considered young.

Now, including Hai’s parents, they just want to quickly send Hai Lan away.

Hai’s parents initially had the idea of raising children for the sake of security in old age, but now it seemed that the only thing they had secured was angering themselves into a shorter life.

“Oh, then when and where should I arrange to meet with Jiang Cheng?” Liang Hong asked again.

Hai said, “Don’t be in a hurry, let me ask.”

An afternoon passed, and Hai hung up the communication talisman, patting the already snoozing Liang Hong at the table.

“She said the day after tomorrow.”

“To our mansion?”

“How could that be possible? Hongyan Restaurant, have a meal then let Jiang Cheng take her out for a stroll, cultivate some affection.”

“Oh.”

A meal at Hongyan Restaurant is not cheap.

But Liang Hong immediately thought that he was about to fight for his rightful inheritance and ascend the throne, which broadened his horizons and elevated his thinking, so he didn’t care about this trifling amount of money.

Hongyan Restaurant, Jiang Cheng arrived as promised.

However, he hadn’t expected that Liang Hong would bring along a female Cultivator.

“Jiang, this is my sister-in-law. Her surname is Hai, first name Lan, her father is Elder Hai, the Assistant Minister of Rites. Hai Lan, this is Jiang Cheng, a student at Lotus University and a very outstanding Talisman Master,” he introduced.

Jiang Cheng, although not quite understanding the situation, still greeted Hai Lan politely.

“Hello.”

Hai Lan sized Jiang Cheng up and down, finding him to her liking, with an appearance that met her standards.

“Do you have any brothers or sisters?”

Jiang Cheng: ?

Wasn’t today about signing a contract and exchanging talismans?

Was this Hai Lan specially brought by Liang Hong to vet him?

Jiang Cheng couldn’t figure out Hai Lan’s intentions, so he looked toward Liang Hong.

Liang Hong also had an uncomfortable expression, whispering, “She’s not very smart, take care of her.”

Jiang Cheng suddenly understood.

So he spoke the complete truth, “I don’t have any brothers or sisters.”

“An only child?”

“Yes.”

“That’s not bad, there won’t be any disputes over inheritance in the future.”

Jiang Cheng nodded, “Legally speaking, that’s correct. I can inherit all of my parents’ estates.”

“So, how much in assets can your parents leave you?”

“I’m not sure, I never asked. But they are healthy, so I don’t need to consider this for the time being.”

Hai Lan said, “The point isn’t about inheritance, it’s about the assets. My family is also well-respected in the Capital, I look quite alright to you, but I’m not interested in marrying beneath me.”

Jiang Cheng thought to himself, what does whether you marry or not have to do with me?

He looked at Liang Hong.

Liang Hong had a bitter expression and desperately gestured with his eyes to Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng said, “I probably won’t need you to marry beneath yourself.”

Upon hearing these words, Hai Lan immediately sent a sound transmission to Liang Hong: He said I won’t need to marry beneath myself? His family is that influential?

Liang Hong thought: Is it possible that he’s actually rejecting you because you’re older and have a bad temper and he doesn’t even want to discuss it with you, and not because his family is rich?

However, outwardly, Liang Hong did not dare to provoke this little aunt of his.

A few instigations to her sister were enough to make Liang Hong miserable.

Liang Hong sent a sound transmission back: Let’s talk more about it, there’s no certainty yet.

Ever since Hai Lan felt that Jiang Cheng’s family was not poor, her attitude towards him significantly improved.

At least from what she could see, Jiang Cheng met her standards in appearance and family background, and she was quite satisfied.

“When are you planning to buy a house in the Capital?” Hai Lan asked.

Jiang Cheng replied truthfully, “I probably won’t buy a house in the Capital; I’m quite happy with the place I’m renting right now.”

Hai Lan frowned and said, “You’re not buying a house, but what will you do about getting married in the future? Without a house, what will you do when the kids go to school? Although my family can afford it, you’re also supposed to buy your own place.”

Concerning marriage, Jiang Cheng had long had plans.

“I plan to settle in the Immortal Sect. If my partner cannot enter the Immortal Sect, I should be able to apply for a special pass for her after marriage.”

Upon hearing this, Hai Lan’s eyes immediately lit up.

She hadn’t expected Jiang Cheng to propose something so grand.

Settling in the Immortal Sect, even bringing his partner, was not something anyone could easily accomplish.

“You can get into the Immortal Sect?”

“I’ll try my best, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

Settling in the Immortal Sect with a partner was much more impressive than buying a house in the Capital.

It was said that the children of Immortal Sect disciples naturally get into the Immortal Sect without needing to take exams. As for a house in the Capital, it only provided a slight advantage when applying for key universities to enter the Immortal Sect.

The difference in privileges was like that between heaven and earth.

Hai Lan also heard that in the Immortal Sect the concentration of Spiritual Energy was so high that merely breathing could increase one’s Cultivation Level. Treasures of heaven and earth were all over the mountains, and wild dogs running around the mountains all had the Cultivation Level of Foundation Establishment!

She happily transmitted to Liang Hong: Brother-in-law, Jiang Cheng is not bad! I’m quite satisfied with him.

Liang Hong sighed: “It has come to this, let’s eat first.”

The three of them had a pleasant meal.

Jiang Cheng didn’t act like an outsider and ate normally. It was Hai Lan who kept putting on airs, constantly trying to engage Jiang Cheng in conversation, which made Liang Hong wish he could slap her twice.

The transfer of the talisman, which should have been the highlight of the day, was largely overlooked due to Hai Lan’s presence.

Liang Hong said, “Here’s 500,000 Spirit Stones, the rest will be paid in installments.”

Jiang Cheng nodded, “No problem.”

The Electro-Purification Talisman sold to Jiang Cheng totaled fifteen million Spirit Stones.

Liang Hong didn’t have that much money, so he could only mortgage the Prince Mansion to Jiang Cheng, then slowly pay him off in installments.

If he could ascend to the throne, this amount of money would be nothing.

But if he couldn’t, that would be difficult.

However, Liang Hong didn’t consider the possibility of failure, because the Void Venerable had said he would ascend the throne—could there be any accidents?
