Mulan nodded and replied intermittently.
She originally wanted to address Jiang Che as "senior," since she had returned today to ask for his help and wanted to learn about cultivation issues, so she naturally wanted to be more respectful.
However, upon seeing Jiang Che's handsome yet still somewhat youthful face, Hua Mulan swallowed back the words she was about to say. In the end, she couldn't bring herself to utter those two words and simply addressed him as "Young Master Jiang."
Putting aside his extraordinary cultivation level, Jiang Che was just a young man who had just come of age. Even though he had experienced many trials and tribulations, he still retained a youthful spirit.
"General Mulan seems to be troubled by something..."
"May I listen attentively?"
Jiang Che sat down on the stone bench opposite Hua Mulan and asked with interest, wanting to know what was troubling this goddess who was no less capable than any man.
Although his cultivation level had now surpassed that of Hua Mulan by a whole major realm, Jiang Che did not put on any airs and spoke in a very calm tone. He still preferred to associate with these beauties as equals.
"yes………"
"Young Master Jiang, your cultivation level... mid-stage Nascent Soul stage?!"
Hua Mulan was about to explain her reason for returning when she sensed the powerful aura emanating from Jiang Che, which belonged to the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm. She was completely stunned and speechless.
Didn't he just break through to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm a couple of days ago?
How come you broke through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm again today?
Is it as easy for this guy to break through his cultivation level as eating and drinking?
"Last night I had a sudden inspiration and received some favorable opportunity, so I naturally broke through..."
Jiang Che poured himself a cup of iced tea, took a small sip, and smiled faintly.
He could lie without batting an eye, not even blinking.
Having previously put on a show of acting prowess with Diao Chan in Chang'an, Jiang Che's acting skills had long since reached a level where they were completely unrecognizable, making it difficult for anyone to detect anything amiss.
"Is that so..."
Hua Mulan nodded numbly. Jiang Che's cultivation breakthrough was so rapid that only this explanation seemed to make sense.
Putting aside the jumbled thoughts in her mind, Mulan pondered for a moment, then parted her lips and slowly spoke.
"Mulan's return this time is actually to ask you for a favor, young master..."
"Oh?"
"what's up?"
"General Mulan, please speak freely. You are a good friend of Jialuo. If it is something within my power, I will certainly not refuse."
Jiang Che picked up the conversation and gestured for Hua Mulan to speak directly.
Hearing that this goddess wanted something from him, Jiang Che became even more curious.
Could it be that Mulan came to her for help because she already knew that the Great Wall would soon be invaded by a large number of monsters?
"Mulan's cultivation has reached a bottleneck. She clearly senses a glimmer of opportunity for a breakthrough, but she can't quite grasp it..."
"After two months of cultivation, there is still no sign of a breakthrough..."
"I have no idea what to do, so I have come to trouble you for guidance, young master. I hope you will be generous in your teachings, and I will be eternally grateful!"
Mulan spoke clearly and calmly, explaining her purpose in a tone that was not as cold as usual, but rather gentle.
Mulan's ability to rise to the position of General of the Great Wall Guards demonstrates her shrewdness and understanding of interpersonal relationships.
Since they needed Jiang Che's help, they certainly wouldn't adopt that cold, indifferent attitude they showed to their subordinates.
Moreover, she also understood the principle that you reap what you sow. After all, she and Jiang Che were not related and had no connection whatsoever, so she did not expect to receive Jiang Che's guidance for free.
· ·····Requesting flowers· ··
Originally, Mulan was somewhat skeptical about whether she could get guidance from Jiang Che, but now she has no doubts and is full of confidence.
Jiang Che was able to make breakthroughs in just three to five days without any signs of his foundation becoming unstable. Doesn't that say everything?
Such a peerless genius must have a much deeper understanding of the Nascent Soul Dao than she imagined. Even a few words of guidance from him would benefit her immensely.
"So that's what it was about..."
"General Mulan, you flatter me. It was just a few words of guidance; it doesn't deserve any reward or repayment..."
"Besides, you are also a close friend of Jialuo, so I will naturally do my duty to help you if it is within my power."
Jiang Che suddenly realized something, gently shook his head, and slowly spoke.
Mulan actually came to me asking for my guidance?
Uh... wait, this place seems to have originally been Mulan's residence before she was born!
Anyway, Jiang Che didn't intend to refuse this kind of thing. He was more than happy to be able to get closer to this goddess.
"Please forgive Mulan's intrusion..."
"Young Master Jiang... what exactly is your relationship with Jialuo?"
Seeing that Jiang Che kept mentioning Jialuo, Hua Mulan finally couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked him directly.
"She is now my wife, my confidante..."
Jiang Che didn't hide anything and openly revealed his relationship with Jialuo.
Mulan would find out about this sooner or later anyway, so there was no point in hiding it.
This era was one where it was possible to have multiple wives and concubines; you could just openly and legitimately have your own harem!
"A soulmate..."
..... ..... ....
After hearing Jiang Che's answer, Hua Mulan muttered to herself, her expression turning somewhat strange.
Although Jiang Che's words were tactful, how could Hua Mulan not understand their meaning?
Good heavens, just as she had guessed, these two actually did get together?
It's only been a few days!
How could my best friend not consult me before making such an important decision?
Although she really couldn't offer any good advice...
She made such a decisive move; hopefully, she won't regret it in the future.
However, judging from the current situation, Jiang Che is indeed a man to whom one can entrust one's life.
Although they haven't had much contact, based on Jiang Che's current behavior, Hua Mulan still has a good impression of him.
He is easygoing, dashing, generous, and decisive.
This is Mulan's current impression of Jiang Che, which is mostly positive.
.....................
"General Mulan, please feel free to ask if you have any questions. I will answer them for you one by one..."
Jiang Che picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and smiled faintly.
Before coming to the Great Wall, Jiang Che had already reached a high level of understanding of the Nascent Soul Dao thanks to the tireless teachings of his beautiful master, Haiyue. It would be easy for him to guide Hua Mulan's cultivation and impart his knowledge to her.
With nothing else to do, Jiang Che wasn't in a hurry to go to the Demon Cave. He was also happy to teach Hua Mulan personally, demonstrating the demeanor of a teacher through his words and actions.
These are all things he learned from his beautiful master, Haiyue.
"Young Master Jiang, two months ago, Mulan sensed the bottleneck that would allow her to break through her cultivation level. She thought she would break through soon, but after two months of cultivation, she still hasn't made any progress..."
Hua Mulan pondered for a moment, then recounted the difficulties and bottlenecks she was currently facing.
Jiang Che and Hua Mulan spent the entire afternoon in the garden pavilion.
In order to answer Mulan's questions in a simple and easy-to-understand way, Jiang Che patiently taught her for two hours.
Jiang Che only gradually stopped telling his story as the sun began to set and the sky began to darken.
"Well, do you understand everything now?"
Looking at Mulan in front of him, who seemed to have figured something out and was deep in thought with her brows furrowed, Jiang Che asked with a smile, feeling a surge of emotion welling up inside him.
Jiang Che finally understood why his beautiful master, Haiyue, paid so much attention to teaching him.
The feeling of teaching and guiding others, and seeing them suddenly understand after just a few words of guidance, is indeed quite good and gives one a great sense of accomplishment.
The only difference is that he is a natural genius with many innate talents in Qi cultivation, so he can grasp things instantly and learn them quickly. Mulan, on the other hand, is much less gifted and needs deliberate guidance and instruction.
"Young Master Jiang, there's still something about Mulan that's unclear..."
"I humbly request your guidance, Young Master Jiang..."
Hua Mulan's expression was slightly unnatural. After hesitating for a long time, she forced herself to speak.
Even though Jiang Che had clearly explained his understanding of the Nascent Soul path, there were still some parts that she didn't quite understand.
Seeing Jiang Che's gaze directed her way, Hua Mulan felt incredibly embarrassed, realizing for the first time how utterly foolish she had been...
.........
P.S.: If some parts don't flow smoothly, it means they've been edited out. Some things can be included sometimes, and some can't. It seems like it's not a fixed person reviewing them. Please understand.
145: She imparted all her knowledge to Mulan! Wu Zetian was indeed no good person!
"But it doesn't matter..."
"I will teach you everything I know!"
Jiang Che encouraged Hua Mulan to speak frankly, enjoying the magical feeling of teaching others.
"yes………………"
.....................
Night falls, the bright moon hangs high in the sky, and countless stars dot the night.
"Thank you for your kind guidance, Young Master Jiang..."
Mulan is extremely grateful!
"Young Master Jiang, please feel free to give me any instructions. I will gladly die for you!"
