In the end, Jiang Man returned to his small courtyard. After explaining the situation, he took his leave, crushed his Token, and entered the Task Secret Realm.
"Old Huang..." Jiang Man began, looking at him.
But before he could continue, Old Huang spoke up. "When you return, it will be time for you to slay the Bai Family Ancestor."
In an instant, the rest of Jiang Man's words were caught in his throat.
It was like a fishbone stuck in his throat.
'Besides, if I come back too soon, I won't be able to defeat the Bai Family Ancestor anyway.'
In the end, Jiang Man couldn't say another word before he vanished completely.
「Meanwhile.」
Ji Meng had moved into a new courtyard.
Qing Dai poured her lady some tea and said, "The Young Master-in-law has gone to complete a task."
Ji Meng nodded. "He said he was going to lay low for a while."
Qing Dai looked a little surprised. "The Young Master-in-law doesn't seem like that kind of person."
