Escape from the Flowing Cloud Sect, Jiang Liu

After returning to the Flowing Cloud Sect's mountain range, Jiang Liu flew directly to his courtyard at the Back Mountain.

The two patrolling elders of the Flowing Cloud Sect saw Jiang Liu from afar and were about to go up and greet him.

However, they found that Jiang Liu's figure flickered and then disappeared without a trace.

They were speechless. Were they really that scary? They had frightened Jiang Liu so much that he ran away?

Jiang Liu was unaware that his actions had caused the two patrolling elders to misunderstand him. He just wanted to calm down and think about the whole story.

Moreover, he also wanted to find Flowing Cloud Matriarch to sound out her opinion, and if Flowing Cloud Matriarch also agreed.

Jiang Liu figured he should think about running away first.

Jiang Liu hadn't been in his courtyard for long when the figure of Flowing Cloud Matriarch appeared in the sky above Jiang Liu's courtyard.

"Hey kid, why did you suddenly come back? And just now, Elder Chen and Elder Yu tried to greet you, but you ignored them."

Flowing Cloud Matriarch stood in mid-air and smiled as he spoke to Jiang Liu, who had just come out of the house.

She had already guessed why Jiang Liu had returned from the Star Moon Sect in such a disheveled state.

However, she did not expect Jiang Liu to be so resistant to this marriage alliance, and that he would actually run back from the Star Moon Sect.

If Jiang Liu hadn't resisted, things wouldn't be like this now.

Looking at the gloating Flowing Cloud Matriarch Liuyun Shangren's face, Jiang Liu immediately knew that she must know about the marriage alliance and that she had agreed to it.

Jiang Liu said to Flowing Cloud Matriarch, "Sect Master, are you aware that the Star Moon Sect wants to form a marriage alliance with the Flowing Cloud Sect?"

Flowing Cloud Matriarch nodded and said, "I know, and I agree. What's wrong? You don't agree?"

Jiang Liu looked at Flowing Cloud Matriarch and asked in confusion, "Sect Master, are you aware that I already have two wives?"

Flowing Cloud Matriarch glanced at Jiang Liu and said, "So what if you have two wives? For us martial artists, having three wives and four concubines is normal."

"Moreover, as long as the Star Moon Sect has no objections, I have no problem. If you agree as well, this matter can be settled immediately."

Jiang Liu was dumbfounded. Could this really be done? Did they not consider Chu Heyu's feelings at all?

Actually, Jiang Liu was overthinking it. You should know that the marriage alliance between the Flowing Cloud Sect and the Star Moon Sect is beneficial to both sects.

Especially now, with the entire situation in Daqian unclear.

Moreover, Chu Heyu never expressed even the slightest unwillingness.

Therefore, if Jiang Liu agrees, the marriage between the two sects can be completed immediately.

Seeing Flowing Cloud Matriarch's attitude, Jiang Liu immediately sensed something was wrong.

Judging from the sect leader's expression, she has completely agreed!

Fortunately, neither party intends to force me into this situation.

Perhaps the Star Moon Sect and the Flowing Cloud Sect only want to strengthen the connection between the two sects, and it is not necessarily the case that they need to form a marriage alliance with the Star Moon Sect.

Thinking of this, Jiang Liu's panicked thoughts finally calmed down a bit.

"Sect Master, if our sect wants to maintain a stable relationship with the Star Moon Sect, we don't necessarily have to arrange a marriage, do we?" Jiang Liu suggested tentatively.

"Oh? Then do you have any good suggestions?" Flowing Cloud Matriarch asked Jiang Liu with a questioning look, his interest piqued.

Jiang Liu organized his thoughts and said, "Sect Master, since the Star Moon Sect and our sect are now practicing the same cultivation method, why don't we just merge into one?"

"Merge? Merge is possible, but have you considered the grudges between our two sects? And most importantly, the issue of primary and secondary matters. How do we resolve this?" Flowing Cloud Matriarch asked Jiang Liu in succession.

Jiang Liu had never considered these things; he was just saying it casually to appease Flowing Cloud Matriarch.

This left him speechless, completely stumped by Flowing Cloud Matriarch's question.

However, this was no problem for Jiang Liu. He quickly suggested, "That's easy! Since we are all people of the Jianghu, everything should be decided by strength. Whoever wins makes the decisions."

"As for elders, disciples, and followers with grudges, the same principle applies; whoever wins decides."

Upon hearing Jiang Liu's suggestion, Flowing Cloud Matriarch rolled his eyes. If things were really that easy to resolve, the merger of the two sects would have already begun when the proposal was first put forward.

Why do we have to wait until now, with absolutely no movement?

It was because several elders were strongly opposing it, and the situation was the same at the Star Moon Sect.

Therefore, although the relationship between the two factions has been developing in a positive direction, it is difficult to achieve true intimacy.

That is why the two sects did not launch an attack on the Haotian Sect.

Otherwise, given that Duanmu Haotian had been missing for so long, he would have already begun his invasion plan against the Haotian Sect.

Of course, even if the Flowing Cloud Sect and the Star Moon Sect did not launch an invasion against the Haotian Sect.

However, it seems that the Haotian Sect has also realized that the relationship between the two sects has eased a lot, so it dares not provoke as before and cause the Flowing Cloud Sect and Star Moon Sect to be at odds with each other again.

Because they were also afraid that the Star Moon Sect and the Flowing Cloud Sect might suddenly join forces to deal with them, the Haotian Sect had been much more restrained during this period.

Even so, Haotian Sect still repeatedly launched underhanded attacks against the Flowing Cloud Sect and Star Moon Sect.

It's just not as obvious as before, since the struggle between the three sects has always existed, even though they are currently temporarily united.

However, this did not prevent the open and covert struggles among the elders, disciples, and followers below.

As for why no one from the Haotian Sect came to disturb Jiang Liu, it was because Jiang Liu's previous reputation had spread too far.

Of course, the main reason is that Jiang Liu is too ruthless, which is why the disciples of Haotian Sect dare not provoke him.

As for the elders, they wouldn't stoop to confront Jiang Liu.

Moreover, since Jiang Liu announced that he had advanced to the Grandmaster level, even fewer people have dared to come and Jiang Liu trouble.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Jiang Liu has not yet made any enemies with the people of Haotian Sect.

Seeing Jiang Liu's attitude, Flowing Cloud Matriarch knew that he did not agree to the marriage alliance.

Of course, she didn't intend to pressure him any further, and then said, "Now that you're back, stay here and cultivate properly!"

Jiang Liu nodded without saying anything more.

Then, Flowing Cloud Matriarch's figure flashed and disappeared from mid-air.

Jiang Liu stared blankly at the direction where Flowing Cloud Matriarch had disappeared for a long while.

Later, the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Although Flowing Cloud Matriarch didn't seem to want to force her into a marriage for the time being, she couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't have such thoughts over time.

Jiang Liu then felt that staying in the Flowing Cloud Sect was not very safe, so Jiang Liu left before nightfall.

They flew to the place where the Fire-Winged Monkey and summoned them.

Sensing Jiang Liu's call, the Fire-Winged Monkey happily Illusory Transformation a chair, picked up Jiang Liu, and flew out of the Flowing Cloud Sect mountain range, heading towards Yunzhou.
