Chapter 1055 Jiang Tu
Ten minutes later, on the snowy mountaintop northeast of the stone villa in Jiang Xiao's Inner World.

Three Jiang Xiaos, along with Gu Shi'an, stood atop the high peak.

Everyone already knew what Jiang Xiao was going to do when they helped move out the Gardener Pi's "Inner World Training Room."

Jiang Xiao didn't bring Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan. More accurately, they wanted to come, but Jiang Xiao chased them away. Why watch such a scene? Just to make themselves uncomfortable?

And this experiment had nothing to do with Gu Shi'an, but he insisted on staying by Jiang Xiao's side.

Gu Shi'an sincerely believed that giving shouldn't be one-sided.

Now that he had acknowledged this brother, he might not "share the sweetness" in times of happiness, but he must "endure hardship together" in times like these. That's what brothers should do.

Gardener Pi opened his Inner World training space.

Training Partner Pi, holding two golden-red candles, stepped inside. He looked around the empty space, walked to the center, and plopped down on the stool made of *Shu Li Mu* wood.

If nothing unexpected happened, Training Partner Pi would stay here for a long time. Not because he wanted a pet to keep him company, but because his time was precious. During this time, he would use these two golden-red candles as experimental subjects and continue to study the Cloak Star Chart.

Gardener Pi closed the space portal and stood on the snowy mountain, turning to look at Gu Shi'an. "You want to? Uh… never mind, I'll do it myself."

As Gardener Pi spoke, he slowly raised his right hand. A small *Shu Li Mu* sapling broke through the dirt and snow, slowly growing until it became a towering tree.

Under Gardener Pi's manipulation, thick vines wrapped around his body and dragged him into the thick trunk, where he disappeared from sight.

If Gu Shi'an wasn't here, Jiang Xiao wouldn't have needed to do this, but… to spare his senses, Jiang Xiao decided to commit suicide in this way.

The main body Jiang Xiao held a makeshift "flower blade" in his hand. He walked towards the thick *Shu Li Mu* tree, twirled the flower blade, and stabbed it into the trunk!

Clean, swift, and without hesitation!

*Tss!*

The main body Jiang Xiao's expression stiffened, and his hand trembled slightly, but he forcefully pulled out the flower blade.

On the wide flower blade, drops of blood ran down the blade, scattering onto the white snow, blooming into enchanting snowflakes.

"Heh…" Jiang Xiao forced a smile on his face and said, "After the corpse inside turns into star power and dissipates, this tree should slowly heal. It has a very strong vitality."

Gu Shi'an looked at the flower blade in Jiang Xiao's hand and nodded silently.

Ruthless!

Truly ruthless!

Killing enemies without blinking an eye, Gu Shi'an could accept. But killing himself like this…

Gu Shi'an didn't know what that felt like, but from Jiang Xiao's rather pale face, Gu Shi'an knew he must be in great pain.

What kind of person was Jiang Xiao?

At least in the realm of combat, he was definitely the "calm and collected" type, but look at his current state.

Jiang Xiao took two steps back and slowly sat down on the snow. The flower blade turned into specks of star power and shattered.

Jiang Xiao said, "I could have directly reset the bait, but this method is special, so I still want to test whether Gardener Pi's Inner World training space will still exist under normal death circumstances."

"Mm." Gu Shi'an bent down, placed a hand on Jiang Xiao's shoulder, and squeezed it gently. He didn't know how to comfort Jiang Xiao.

"He'll probably leave in about ten minutes." As he spoke, Jiang Xiao pointed to the blood seeping into the snow on the ground and said, "You can watch it too. In ten minutes, it will also turn into star power and disappear."

Gu Shi'an asked, "What if the Inner World training space collapses and disappears with Gardener Pi's death?"

"Mm…" Jiang Xiao stood up, turned to look down the cliff, and gazed at the scenery in the Inner World. "Then my main body will have to play it safe to the death, for the sake of everyone here."

The two chatted idly, and soon ten minutes had passed. In the tree, Gardener Pi's body shattered into specks of star power, and the blood splattered on the snow also turned into specks of starlight, dissipating in the air.

Jiang Xiao sensed it and said, "It didn't collapse. Training Partner Pi is still sitting comfortably on the stool, holding the golden-red candles. The space is very stable."

"A small space independent of another dimension," Gu Shi'an murmured.

Jiang Xiao said, "Let's wait and see. I'm not planning to summon Training Partner Pi again anytime soon. He will live in that Inner World training room, and we'll see if that space remains stable."

Gu Shi'an nodded.

Jiang Xiao said with a smile, "Now, let me introduce you to a new friend?"

Gu Shi'an grinned. He had originally come to comfort and accompany Jiang Xiao, but now it seemed that the self-harming Jiang Xiao was joking and comforting him instead.

This mischievous guy was truly a warm person at heart.

Jiang Xiao said, "I'm not going to call him Gardener Pi anymore. He's already at the Star Sea stage, and his purpose isn't to build this place, but to hunt down criminals. Help me give him a name."

Gu Shi'an thought for a moment and said, "Detective Pi?"

Jiang Xiao's expression was strange. He felt like Gu Shi'an was talking about a major IP movie.

Jiang Xiao retorted, "Look at your uncultured self! How about calling him Sherlock Xiao? Or Detective Dee Xiao!"

Gu Shi'an grimaced, about to say something, but suddenly turned his head to look to the side.

Jiang Xiao also turned his head and saw a middle-aged couple floating up slowly.

Jiang Xiao was startled and hurriedly said, "Teacher Fang, oh dear, it's so cold up here. What are you doing here?"

Gusts of wind swirled with snowflakes. Fang Xingyun, wearing a military coat and protruding belly, stood steadily on the snowy mountain with Hai Tianqing. "We were visiting your home and heard you were here, so we came to take a look."

"Oh, oh." Jiang Xiao nodded and smiled at Hai Tianqing. "You just let your wife run around like this? What month is it!?"

Hai Tianqing curiously glanced at the tree trunk that had been pierced through, but didn't respond.

Fang Xingyun smiled and waved at Jiang Xiao.

"Uh…" Jiang Xiao walked over.

Fang Xingyun placed a hand on her stomach and rubbed Jiang Xiao's head with the other. "What kind of photos are hanging in the third-floor bedroom? What's going on in that little head of yours? Teacher Hai was quite startled."

"You went to Er Wei's room?" Jiang Xiao smiled embarrassedly.

"Mm." Fang Xingyun smiled. The love and admiration in her eyes couldn't be suppressed. "When we were touring your third-floor exhibition room, we took a look at the other rooms. It wasn't intentional."

Jiang Xiao suddenly understood. No wonder her actions were a bit unusual. It turned out she had seen the entire room full of meritorious honors and trophies.

Jiang Xiao was also a little embarrassed and changed the subject. "Is there enough supplies? What else do you want? Tell me, and I'll get it all for you."

As he spoke, Jiang Xiao subconsciously looked towards the direction of the Flower Sea Ranch, but Jiang Xiao was standing on the south side of the snow mountain cliff, and his vision couldn't pass through the forest to see the foot of the north side of the mountain.

Yes, Hai Tianqing's home was arranged next to the Flower Sea Ranch.

Fang Xingyun liked it there, liked walking in the flower fields, and the Flower Armor Cows and Green Armor Cows were very docile, so Jiang Xiao didn't stop them.

Jiang Xiao built several leisure log cabins next to the ranch and enclosed a courtyard. The environment of the green grass and flower fields was simply a resort, but because of its location, that place could easily be mistaken for the home of "herdsmen."

Hai Tianqing finally spoke, smiling, "It's enough, it's too much. There are so many things, and the quality is so good. Are you about to empty out the logistics department of your Light Chasing Team?"

Jiang Xiao chuckled and said, "I have money to buy things, but how can the things on the market compare to military-grade stuff?"

As he spoke, Jiang Xiao pinched a corner of Fang Xingyun's military coat and twisted his fingers. "How are Uncle Hai and Auntie doing? Are they adjusting well here?"

"Mm, very good, very good. My dad is tinkering with the fruit saplings you sent every day," Hai Tianqing said with a smile, finally grabbing Fang Xingyun's arm and taking her hand off Jiang Xiao's head.

Only then did Jiang Xiao take a step back, acting like he didn't dare to approach Fang Xingyun. "There aren't enough people right now. After a while, I'll find some Star Techniques that can ripen plants and trees to come and help him."

"Heh." Fang Xingyun glared at Jiang Xiao with a smile. "I'm a Star Warrior, not as fragile as you think. You don't have to be so careful."

Jiang Xiao gestured at her big belly and said, "Have you thought of names?"

Fang Xingyun turned to look at Hai Tianqing with a happy smile and said, "Our son will be called Hai Yun'an, and our daughter will be called Hai Yunning."

Jiang Xiao was stunned for a moment and said, "Wait, twins? Teacher Fang's previous reactions… I always thought it was just a boy."

"Heh." Hai Tianqing snorted and said, "She only talks about Pipi every day, of course you'd think there was only one boy. Sigh, she doesn't care about her daughter. My girl has a hard life…"

Fang Xingyun glared at Hai Tianqing with a smile and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I love them both. With such a role model here, of course I have to talk about my son, so he can become like this in the future. I hope my daughter is ordinary. Pipi will protect her in the future. Being a Star Warrior is really too hard."

Everyone chatted for a while, and Jiang Xiao teleported the two teachers back to the log cabin courtyard next to the ranch. After confirming the due date again, he said goodbye and left.

If nothing unexpected happened, Fang Xingyun would choose to give birth at home. On the one hand, Fang Xingyun's physical fitness was extremely strong. On the other hand, with Hai Tianqing watching over her, nothing should go wrong. Jiang Xiao just needed to prepare everything in advance.

Jiang Xiao also flashed back to the snow mountain, brought Gu Shi'an back to the stone villa, and the four-person team ate lunch. He left the three of them to train in Xia Yan's training space, and Jiang Xiao left on his own.

Until he left, Training Partner Pi was still sitting safely in Gardener Pi's former Inner World Ruin, and there were no signs of collapse in the space. Jiang Xiao felt particularly at ease.

Afterward, Jiang Xiao greeted Er Wei and went to Yi County in Zhongyuan Province.

But he didn't go in his own image. Instead, he disguised himself as a man in his mid-thirties, with ordinary features, a parted hairstyle, and wearing a jacket and jeans.

Jiang Xiao even reduced his height by 5 centimeters. This image was completely unrelated to Jiang Xiao.

Then, Jiang Xiao went to Yi County in this image.

To be precise, it was to a desolate wilderness tens of kilometers away from Yi County.

Here, Jiang Xiao once again summoned Training Partner Pi. No, at this time, the Star Sea stage bait already had a new name: Jiang Tu.

This word seemed to represent the meaning of Jiang Xiao summoning this bait, and it could also express what Jiang Xiao really wanted to do in his heart.

Unfortunately, Jiang Xiao's Inner Vision Star Chart was still being adjusted and was still in the closed state, and had not been opened for a long time.

Jiang Xiao had nowhere to use his pile of skill points, including the reminder that he had received 30,000 points for collecting the Full Moon Merit in this dragon cave exploration.

He didn't know when the Inner Vision Star Chart would be opened again.

So, at this time, Jiang Tu was only a Star Sea initial stage bait. Otherwise, Jiang Xiao might have directly pushed up the Star Power realm and directly summoned a Star Sea peak bait.
