Chapter 187: You Got That Thing Done to You

The experienced driver was very fast. In just over twenty minutes, he took Jiang Xincheng back to the airport. The airport was dozens of miles away from the highway, so you can imagine how fast he drove.

When Jiang Xincheng tried to pay him as a reward, the driver absolutely refused to take the money. After asking, Jiang Xincheng learned that one of the people he had saved was the driver’s wife. Earlier on the highway, there were too many people, so the driver hadn’t seen her. After driving away, his wife sent him a text message asking if he was the one driving the taxi.

Only then did the driver realize that among the people Jiang Xincheng saved was actually his own wife. That’s why the driver firmly refused to accept any money from Jiang Xincheng. Jiang Xincheng couldn’t help but sigh that good deeds are rewarded.

He boarded the flight to Tianhai City. As soon as he settled into his seat, he received a call from Xuanyuan Ningshuang. “Jiang Xincheng, I heard that Ximen Changkong did that thing to you…”

“Uh…” Jiang Xincheng was stunned. Her words sounded way too suggestive. He was about to explain that nothing had happened to him when Xuanyuan Ningshuang continued, “But don’t worry, Jiang Xincheng, I will help you. I will find the best doctors in the world to fix that part for you, or do a surgery to reattach a new one. You won’t become a eunuch.”

Jiang Xincheng was stunned again. He quickly said, “I’m fine, you don’t need to worry. I was just acting that day. That area wasn’t actually injured, and I didn’t become a eunuch. You don’t need to help me get treatment.”

“Stop burying your head in the sand. So many people saw it happen. Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone at school. Please don’t avoid treatment because you’re embarrassed. I’ll try to get you cured before Anan finds out. It definitely won’t affect your relationship with Anan.” Xuanyuan Ningshuang set aside her shyness and spoke directly.

Jiang Xincheng said helplessly, “Do you want to see for yourself? I really am fine. If you don’t believe me, wait until I get back to Tianhai City, and I’ll let you check.”

Now it was Xuanyuan Ningshuang’s turn to be stunned. There was a long silence on the other end. Just when Jiang Xincheng thought she was about to hang up, the girl’s shy voice came through. “Are you sure… that part of you is really okay?”

“If something were wrong, I’d be running around everywhere looking for doctors. I wouldn’t be leisurely staying in Tianhai City,” Jiang Xincheng said with a laugh, finally convincing Xuanyuan Ningshuang that he hadn’t become a eunuch.

Xuanyuan Ningshuang felt much more relieved. “Jiang Xincheng, I’m really sorry about this. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have gotten into that situation. Thank you for saving my life. In the future… if you ever need anything, you can come to me. As long as I can help, I definitely won’t refuse.”

Hearing the sincerity in Xuanyuan Ningshuang’s words, Jiang Xincheng laughed. “Okay, since you made me lose so much face, I’ll definitely come to you if I run into trouble. But there is one thing I need to bother you with right now.”

“What is it? Tell me,” Xuanyuan Ningshuang quickly asked.

Jiang Xincheng smiled slightly. “Take good care of Anan for me.”

“This…” Xuanyuan Ningshuang was taken aback, feeling inexplicably down for a moment, then she smiled. “Anan is my good sister and best friend. I’d take care of her even if you didn’t say anything. By the way, I found that Bai Juan who caused you to end up like that. Do you want to teach her a lesson? Oh, and she’s a high-class escort—she makes a living by doing that kind of work—so we don’t need to feel guilty anymore.”

Hearing that the beautiful woman he had indirectly thrown to Ximen Changkong that day was actually a high-class escort, Jiang Xincheng was also stunned. The slight guilt in his heart instantly vanished, replaced by irritation and anger.

“Don’t deliberately seek revenge on her. After all, what we did wasn’t right either. But don’t give her any compensation, and tell her about this matter in my name.” A cold light flashed in Jiang Xincheng’s eyes as he spoke with some frustration.

Xuanyuan Ningshuang was clever and immediately understood what Jiang Xincheng meant. She nodded. “Okay, I know what to do. Thank you so much for this.”

“By the way, did you tell your family about this?” Jiang Xincheng asked.

A trace of gloom crossed Xuanyuan Ningshuang’s flawless little face. “I told them. But the gap between our branch family and the Ximen Family is too big. My family couldn’t do much; they just lodged a few protests. After the Ximen Family released the drugged Elder, they dropped the matter. Heh, to the family, I’m apparently not worth offending the powerful Ximen Family over.”

Jiang Xincheng could hear the dissatisfaction and resentment in Xuanyuan Ningshuang’s words. He felt a pang of helplessness too. In the face of absolute power, the actions of Xuanyuan Ningshuang’s branch family were understandable, but it still hurt Xuanyuan Ningshuang.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Xincheng said calmly, “The era of Primordial Force is an era where the strong are respected. To be valued, you must demonstrate your own strength, talent, and aptitude. Everything else is an illusion. If one day your cultivation speed surpasses Ximen Changkong’s, and your strength exceeds his, things like this will never happen again.”

Xuanyuan Ningshuang jolted, her voice firm. “I understand. Thank you, Jiang Xincheng. From now on, I will save the time I spend managing business and devote myself wholeheartedly to cultivation. I won’t waste any more time.”

The incident that happened in Yuyang City left a deep impression on Xuanyuan Ningshuang and made her see reality clearly. Jiang Xincheng’s words solidified her decision. She would no longer focus her life on the family business but would instead make cultivation her priority.

Jiang Xincheng would never have imagined that the reason the peerlessly beautiful, famous Chang’e Fairy Xuanyuan Ningshuang of his previous life came to be was precisely because of this incident in Yuyang City.

And if Jiang Xincheng hadn’t intervened, in this life, Xuanyuan Ningshuang would have ended up just like in the previous life—violated by Ximen Changkong, which would drive her to strive for strength but also leave her with a lifelong shadow, never truly happy again. That was how the cool, picturesque, aloof, and ruthless Chang’e Fairy of later generations came to be.

Jiang Xincheng’s rebirth changed the fates of many people.

“What about the Medium Yuan Crystal Mine in Yuyang City?” Jiang Xincheng asked again.

Xuanyuan Ningshuang smiled. “I reported the news that there might be a Large Yuan Crystal Mine beneath that Medium Yuan Crystal Mine to the main line of our Xuanyuan Family. They sent people to investigate, and it’s true—there is a Large Yuan Crystal Mine underneath. It might help the Xuanyuan Family overcome their current financial difficulties, so the main family is taking this very seriously. They’ve already purchased the mine and are preparing to mine and utilize it properly.”

“And I, because of this matter, have gained the favor of the main family. They rewarded me with many precious Cultivation Resources. When you come to Tianhai City, we can use these resources to cultivate together.”
