160: We are even with the Han family!

Beneath the Bodhi Tree, a delicate wooden table was placed.

On the wooden table, there was a plain zither.

Beside the wooden table, last night's wedding dress and accessories were laid out.

It was clear that Han Qian cherished these items immensely.

Han Qian cautiously peeked at Jiang Lin, her face slightly flushed, and said, "I heard you like listening to the zither, so I brought it over!"

"I certainly don't play as well as Zhang Wanmeng, but I started learning the zither when I was three. At that time, Destroying Affection Supreme came to find me, saying that my Dao of Qin talent was very strong!"

"But my Family didn't agree to me joining the Qin Sect, so the matter was left unresolved!"

"However, I've still been learning. Do you want to listen now?"

Jiang Lin looked at the eager Han Qian and didn't dampen her spirits, saying,

"Of course, let me see Xi'er's zither skills!"

Saying this, the two came under the tree.

Jiang Lin lay on the ground, his head resting against the Bodhi Tree, and closed his eyes.

The next moment,

Melodious zither music began, flowing into Jiang Lin's heart.

The lively melody, combined with the gurgling sound of the surrounding lake, was like a sound from heaven.

Jiang Lin was actually a mundane person.

When he was on Blue Star, he was just an ordinary person, as ordinary as could be.

But on his way home after working overtime, he would munch on a pancake and stand by a street guitarist, listening for a good while.

He always felt that it would relieve his fatigue from the day!

Then his whole being would feel light and free...

At this moment, Jiang Lin had that feeling again.

He wandered in his own thoughts.

Past memories flashed by like a revolving lantern.

He was like an observer, watching those slides of his life amidst the melodious zither music.

No sorrow, no joy!

His purple Divine Sense continuously strengthened amidst the zither music...

Until those countless memories suddenly shattered,

A dazzling light exploded in his mind.

Under the Bodhi Tree, the ground trembled slightly.

His poison-type Divine Sense, through the enlightenment of the Bodhi Tree, reached its Peak and welcomed a Breakthrough!

Purple and green intertwined illusory figures appeared on Jiang Lin, who had his eyes closed, converging into a complete serpent shape.

The next moment, the serpent's eyes suddenly emitted purple and green light.

The Poison Bloodline illusory figure, the Taiwei Purple Poison Serpent illusory figure, had formed!

From this point on, Jiang Lin's poison-type strength officially entered the Void Refining Early Stage!

As the zither music ended, he slowly opened his eyes, as if waking from a long dream.

"What zither immortal? Completely inferior to my Xi'er!"

Hearing this, Han Qian's face flushed crimson, and she whispered, "Actually, it's all the power of this tree!"

"Just by being near this tree, I feel my thoughts becoming more and more agile!"

"I can get answers to anything I think about very quickly!"

Jiang Lin stroked Han Qian's head and said gently, "Silly girl, no matter what, don't underestimate your own role!"

"Oh, right, Xi'er, you can take advantage of this Bodhi Tree to properly learn the 'Mechanism Puppet Record'!"

"I want you to help me create a batch of war puppets, a complete army of one hundred thousand soldiers!"

Han Qian was startled upon hearing this.

In the Han Family, she had been exposed to complete instruction in mechanisms since childhood.

She knew the difficulty of making puppets, especially the engraving of the driving Formation and Divine Ability Formation, which was extremely complex and time-consuming.

Han Qian had a troubled expression on her face: "One hundred thousand puppets, husband, I might not be able to do it..."

"Actually, for the driving Formation and attaching cultivation, I can't even make one a day..."

Jiang Lin smiled and directly took out tens of thousands of saplings from the Red Lotus Realm, planting them on the island.

The island, which was originally less than a hundred miles wide, began to expand.

As long as a tree was planted, it would automatically expand a small circle, and the nearby lake would also expand a small circle.

With tens of thousands of saplings planted, the Bodhi Realm was now boundless.

"These are ancient Spirit Absorbing Tree saplings. If you refine them with this wood, you won't need a driving Formation, and the one hundred thousand puppets won't need cultivation spell Formations attached. They only need to possess the corresponding war characteristics!"

"So, I think one hundred thousand puppets should be a piece of cake for Xi'er!"

Han Qian looked at the dense forest, her face full of shock, and said, "Is...is that the ancient Spirit Absorbing Tree?!"

"Trees that can automatically absorb Spiritual Qi?!"

"Wasn't it said that all these trees had been confiscated by the Royal Family?"

"They should only be found in the Royal Secret Realm, right?"

"Husband, where did you get these from?"

Jiang Lin explained with a smile, "Am I not the Director of the Demon Suppression Division now?"

"Of course, Your Majesty bestowed them upon me!"

"This involves the most core secret of the Nine Provinces, a plan for the future Luck of the Human Race!"

"Actually, I just learned about this plan, and it turns out you were already the designated person in this plan!"

Han Qian's eyes lit up upon hearing this,

As if she understood something!

She spoke directly, "I understand now why my husband acted against the Han Family, and Your Majesty let it happen?"

"It's because this involves the great plan for the future of the Nine Provinces, right?"

Jiang Lin nodded with a feigned sigh, "Indeed, this plan was actually decided by Your Majesty and your Han Family long ago!"

Han Qian's eyes flickered: "No wonder Father and Old Ancestor have been frantically teaching me about mechanical secret arts since I was little!"

"Compared to others, even the Twin Prodigies, my treatment was ridiculously good!"

"So I was already arranged!"

Thinking of this, a hint of bitterness appeared on Han Qian's face: "So the previous events were all Old Ancestor and Father putting on a show with the Han Family..."

"No wonder even though they had been released, they still wanted Xi'er to come!"

"So the things that couldn't be spoken of were this plan!"

"Did they never think of my elder brother...?"

Listening to Han Qian's self-conjecture, Jiang Lin knew in his heart that things were stable.

The scariest thing in this world is,

When you are confused about various things, someone tells you a direction.

And coincidentally, this direction can explain all your problems...

After that, no one needs to say anything, you will brainwash yourself and solidify your own perception!

Even if someone tells Han Qian the truth later, she will think that you don't know the full picture.

People, what they trust most, is their own analysis!

But Jiang Lin knew it wasn't over yet!

There was one last hole to fill.

Jiang Lin said, "Xi'er, actually Han Meng is not a Han Family member at all. He was also chosen long ago to be a part of this plan!"

Han Qian suddenly realized, "No wonder when my brother died, Old Ancestor and Father didn't even show a trace of emotion..."

"To them, he was just a chess piece without Bloodline, but to me, he was my loving elder brother..."

"Husband, Xi'er is not blaming you. Even if you didn't kill him, someone else would have carried out this task!"

"In the face of imperial power and Family interests, what are we?"

"Actually, I'm even grateful that my husband was the one to carry out this task..."

Jiang Lin hugged Han Qian with a pained heart, feigning emotion, "Xi'er, actually this information was supposed to be absolutely confidential to you!"

"But I really don't want to deceive you anymore!"

"I know saying I love you is false!"

"But I am very infatuated with you, and I want to possess you forever!"

"You are mine, and I don't want you to be kept in the dark by those people!"

Han Qian's eyes melted as she looked at Jiang Lin, and she said affectionately, "I am my husband's!"

"This time, Xi'er's sacrifice has exchanged for the Han Family's boundless future!"

"I will make these one hundred thousand puppets, and then I will be done with the Han Family!"

"From now on, Xi'er will be my husband's alone, forever!"

"Husband, you might not know that in this Bodhi Realm, plant growth is a hundred times faster than in the outside world. Even if plants are completely used up, the Bodhi Tree will automatically use its remaining Qi to revive them into saplings!"

"After I finish refining the one hundred thousand puppets, Xi'er will refine even stronger puppets for my husband!"

"I want my husband to have his own power, so he doesn't have to look at the imperial power and Family's expressions like now!"
