When my vicious stepmother mistakenly married me to the Immortal Lord

Chapter 135 Seeing Qiluo Again

The next day, Jiang Song was just about to sneak out of Xie Mansion to gain experience when Nanny Su, who was by Chu Jinghong's side, happened to come to the courtyard to call her.

Jiang Song quickly took off his boxing clothes, changed into casual clothes and came to Yongshou Hall.

Chu Jinghong was wearing a luxurious brocade robe, sitting upright in the hall with a gentle expression.

Seeing Jiang Song come in, she nodded slightly and motioned Jiang Song to sit down.

"Song'er, have you made any progress in your practice recently?" Chu Jinghong's voice was gentle, but with a hint of scrutiny.

Jiang Song replied respectfully, "Reporting to Mother, Song'er has indeed gained some enlightenment recently, and his cultivation has improved slightly."

Chu Jinghong nodded with satisfaction. "Very good, you have always been sensible and have lived up to my expectations. However, the path of cultivation is long, so you must not slack off."

"Yes, mother's teachings, Song'er will remember them in my heart."

Chu Jinghong sighed softly and handed an invitation to Jiang Song.

"Song'er, this is from the Jiang family. They say it's a Dragon Boat Festival family banquet and they invite our Xie family to attend."

"At the Queen Mother's birthday banquet last time, your father-in-law made it clear to the Marquis of Anding that our Xie family has drawn a clear line between ourselves and the Jiang family and no longer wishes to be involved."

"But this time they posted in the name of the family and specifically mentioned you, saying they wanted to meet you and chat about family matters."

Jiang Song took the invitation with mixed feelings.

She naturally knew that this so-called "chatting about family matters" was not a simple matter.

The Jiang family, that was her former home, but it was also the place that abandoned her like a piece of trash.

Now, what do they want to do?

Chu Jinghong looked at Jiang Song's expression and sighed inwardly.

"Song'er, if you don't want to go, then I'll go with your father-in-law."

"If your identity documents weren't with the Jiang family, I wouldn't bother dealing with them. But now, for your future, we still have to do what needs to be done."

To apply for Fengwu Academy, one does need a clear identity document to prove that one has a clean background and is qualified to practice.

Her identity documents are now in the hands of Du Shulan, the mistress of the Jiang family.

Jiang Song raised his head, his eyes gleaming with determination. "Mother, I'll go. Since they invited me, I'll accept the invitation. It's time to put an end to some things."

Chu Jinghong nodded with satisfaction. "Okay, your father-in-law and I will go with you then. No matter what, we will help you get the documents back."

In the afternoon, after explaining things to Xiuyun, Jiang Song continued to go out for training.

While absorbing spiritual energy is important, practical experience is equally indispensable.

She needs to constantly challenge herself and hone her swordsmanship in order to go further on the path of cultivation.

This trip was relatively smooth. Jiang Song and Jiang Zhi went to the Black Wind Mountains and hunted two first-level monsters, the Emerald Cranes.

Before the sun set, Jiang Song and his crew had already returned with a full load to where the flying boat was docked.

After the two men sorted out the monster materials and exchanged them for spirit stones and divided them equally, Jiang Song went to find Xie Fuxing.

Tianbao Tower's efficiency is indeed very high. The Chiyang Pill that was commissioned to be refined by them yesterday has been completed, and they are just waiting for Jiang Song to come and pick up the pill.

Xie Fuxing handed a small pill bottle to Jiang Song with a flattering smile on his face, "Miss Jiang, this is the Chiyang Pill you requested. It's of excellent quality. Please take a look."

Jiang Song took the pill bottle, uncorked it, and a strong medicinal fragrance wafted into his nose.

She poured out a pill, which was red in color and had a faint luster on the surface, obviously of good quality.

Jiang Song nodded with satisfaction, "Thank you, Manager Fuxing."

She paid the remaining spirit stones and left Tianbao Tower with the Red Sun Pill.

As the lights came on, the Zuimeng Pavilion was brightly lit, the sounds of stringed instruments were endless, and monks and nobles from all walks of life came in an endless stream, making the place extremely lively.

Today, Jiang Song dressed up as a middle-aged wealthy man, wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, a jade crown on his head, playing with a string of crystal jade bracelets in his hands, and stepped into the famous den of money-losing in the imperial capital - Zuimeng Pavilion.

As soon as I entered, a waiter came to greet me with a smile and a respectful attitude: "I am honored to have such a distinguished guest. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. Could you please show me your invitation?"

Jiang Song smiled calmly, took out a gold-plated post from his sleeve, and gently waved it, "Dear guest, please come in. Your private room has been prepared on the second floor. It has an excellent location and you can overlook the entire scene."

Jiang Song nodded slightly, and followed the waiter's lead through the bustling crowd to a private room on the second floor.

The box is luxuriously decorated with beaded curtains hanging lightly, and outside the window is the street scene with dim lights. It is indeed a great place to enjoy the view.

Not long after she sat down, a woman in colorful clothes walked in, holding a pot of hot tea with a fragrant aroma.

"Dear guest, this is the Lingyun tea specially made by our Zuimeng Pavilion. It has the effect of refreshing the mind and nourishing the spiritual roots. Please enjoy it slowly."

The woman had a soft voice and decent manners. After pouring a cup of hot tea for Jiang Song, she quietly left.

Jiang Song had been tricked by them last time, so he didn't dare to drink the tea easily and just put it aside.

She has important matters to attend to on this trip and must not be careless.

Jiang Song looked at the incense burner, which was burning with the same cassia incense as before.

She had been prepared today, so the sweet fragrance of love was no longer a threat to her.

Not long after, the door of the box was gently pushed open, and the madam, Madam Li, walked in with a flattering smile on her face, "Does your distinguished guest have a favorite beauty?"

"Is Qiluo here? Ask her to come see me."

"Oh, it turns out you're Qiluo's regular customer. Please wait a moment, I'll go call her over."

After saying that, Mother Li turned and left. Not long after, she came in with a woman in red clothes and with a charming face.

The cultivation level of this Hehuan Sect disciple may not be very high, but his charm and illusion techniques are extremely powerful, and ordinary cultivators find it difficult to resist.

Jiang Song thought about it and felt that other women might be more powerful than Qiluo, so it would be safer to find Qiluo. After all, he had dealt with her before and knew how to deal with her.

As Qiluo entered the room, she bowed delicately and said, "Dear guest, please forgive me for being late."

She is the kind of person who knows how to treat people differently. I didn't see her being so pretentious last time.

Jiang Song remained calm, a playful smile curling up the corner of his mouth. "Miss Qiluo, you are too polite. I came to see you today because I know that your methods are unique."

Qiluo's eyes flickered, as if she understood something. She lightly moved closer to Jiang Song, her voice soft and charming, "Then I wonder what kind of fun would you like to have with me today?"

Jiang Song reached out and lifted Qiluo's chin. "Today, I want to make a deal with you."

Qiluo was slightly stunned, then she giggled and sat down next to Jiang Song. "You are such a funny person. Here at Qiluo, we can negotiate any kind of deal, as long as you can afford the price."

"I've just arrived in the capital to do business, and I'd like to meet some prominent figures. I've heard that Miss Qiluo has a wide social circle, and the people she knows are either wealthy or noble, so I'd like to ask her to act as a matchmaker."

It was confirmed that day that the remnants of the Shen family were hiding here, so Jiang Song changed his rhetoric today, trying to test Qi Luo's attitude and see if he could get some useful information from her.

Upon hearing this, Qiluo's eyes flashed with cunning. "So that's how it is. You're trying to take a shortcut. However, Qiluo's social circle is not cheap. What sincerity do you intend to show?"

Jiang Song sneered in his heart. This woman was indeed the kind of person who wouldn't release the eagle until she saw the rabbit.
