Chapter 182: Mistaken Identity Part 19

The Jiao's: 11

/*unedited*/

A few days have passed since then and everything turned to normal as if nothing has happened. In these few days, Shin Jiao has already sold a lot of trinkets and now plans to meet with the mortal craftsman.

The morning rays of the golden sun brightly illuminated the sky signifying the dawn of a new day. Inside a small old courtyard is a group of people, a family of five. They busily do each of their own things like normal.

Then suddenly their courtyard door creaked open and four people appear. When their eyes landed on the woman, and a disbelieving expression appears on their faces.

"M… Mrs. Jiao… is… is that you?" the middle-aged man asked as he approached the group.

They did not expect that in just a couple of days that they didn't see her, she would suddenly turn into a beautiful woman. From a middle-aged looking one into someone who is in her 30's.

This is because of Shin Jiao's cultivation healing pod. When he finished it in just a day after thrashing those people, he immediately asked his mother to test out the healing pod. And in just a day, he saw his mother's cultivation recovered and her beauty enhanced.

This is the greatest effect he has found. Although he wanted to use the eternal beauty pill along with the concoction inside the pod, yet he hesitated as he didn't have time to do research on it.

Upon seeing the beautiful Mrs. Jiao, the middle-aged man diverted his gaze and he then cupped his hands in greetings as a sign of respect.

Shin Jiao learned that the middle-aged man's family was found by his mother on the side of the road. They were once merchants and were ambushed, luckily only their wares were stolen and they were never hurt. Being mortals none helped them.

But Aye Muyan took pity to them and helped the family and gave them jobs. Since their whole family are good craftsmen, they work in her old store which flourished by selling their workmanship. And from then on, she hid them in this place so that no one would threaten the family or face hardship.

"How is everything, Old Ji?" Aye Muyan asked.

"Everything is fine Mrs. Jiao, we have a new design which we want you to see." Old Ji said as he carefully handed Aye Muyan a golden tiger pendant.

"That's very fine work! This is the best workmanship I've seen so far." Shin Jiao exclaimed.

"Ah… Old Ji, this is… my son." Aye Muyan introduced while holding Shin Jiao's hands.

When he heard her words, he showed a conflicted expression. Everybody knows who her son is in these parts of the city, a wastrel and trash. But he didn't say anything and just cupped his hand in greetings.

"Master Ji, I asked my mother to meet you because I like your family's crafting technique. I feel that they would be very useful to me… by the way how long have you been working for my mother?" Shin Jiao asked.

"Yo… young ma… master Jiao. This old man and his family have been working for madam for ten years now, a few years after you were born." Old Ji said.

"Mrs. Jiao has been good to us and we are really grateful for her." Old Ji said.

Raising his hand he stopped Old Ji from talking.

Shin Jiao then pointed to the pendant on his mother's hand.

"Who made this?" Shin Jiao asked.

"That would be me, young master." a melodious voice from behind Old Ji answered.

Then Shin Jiao saw a woman which looks like in her 20's, walking forward. Though she wore coarse clothing, it didn't hide her voluptuous figure. But when he saw her face, he was stunned.

Right now he is looking at a young woman who looks very familiar to him.

"Jade?! No… it… it can't be?" Shin Jiao muttered.

When he started his mission, he always works with others. And he was given a shadow, a person who would always follow him from behind and protect his back. His shadow is a very beautiful young woman named Jade Law.

In their assignment, he became close to her and they almost shared a bed together one night while in the heat of a moment. But then Shin Jiao woke up from his muddle headedness, he knows that it would be wrong for him to have a one night stand with her. This would affect their work as emotions would come into play. But Jade Law confessed to him her feelings and wanted for them to be together. And Shin Jiao told her that all of this is just work.

He didn't dare tell her about his girlfriend to prevent her from hurting the woman he loves.

After that night, Jade Law transferred from her assignment with him and was assigned to another agent as a shadow. After a few years, he learned of her death along with the agent she was protecting, as their identity was sold out. This made him mad, and plan out his revenge on the spy within the agency. When it turned out to be the team leader of their group, he didn't think twice and killed the guy making a huge wave in the agency.

But because of his gathered evidence against the person, he was not convicted and was just punished. Yet with the people backing him and his accomplishments, he was released in only one day. Shin Jiao from then on would always use the memento she gave him, and that is his laptop.

Right now, the young woman in front of him is clearly Jade Law.

He suppresses the emotion inside his heart and smiled.

"Sorry about that… I… I thought you look like someone I know." Shin Jiao said with a smile.

The young woman upon seeing his charming smile suddenly blushed, and stared dumbfounded on his face.

Old Ji upon seeing his oldest daughter's reaction knew that she was love-struck by the young master. But he didn't want her to fall for his tricks. Everyone knew that the son of Mrs. Jiao is a silk pant and would always play with women all day long. So he didn't want his daughter to fall into this predicament.

When Shin Jiao saw the changes in the complexion of Old Ji, he already knew what he was thinking, and he heaves a helpless sigh in his heart.

"Your crafting style is very unique and detailed. I want to make something, would you like to work with me?" Shin Jiao asked.

"Yes."

"Pardon?"

"Ye… yes, young master Jiao. I… I will work with you." the young woman said while blushing.

"Sigh… Young master Jiao this is my eldest daughter… Ai Ji." Old Ji said feeling helpless.

But he could not do anything as from the looks on his daughter's twinkling eyes; he knew that what he would say to her would all be helpless.

Shin Jiao smiled and walks towards, Old Ji. He patted his shoulder and gestured for him to follow him.

"Mom, I want to talk to Old Ji privately." Shin Jiao said with a smile which made Aye Muyan nod her head as she too felt that the beautiful young maiden of Old Ji's house felt something for her son.

"Old Ji, my intention is pure. I promise I won't touch your eldest daughter without her con..." Shin Jiao said and stopped in the middle.

His words also made Old Ji look at him with a wide eye.

"Ah… I… I mean… I will not hurt her… her feelings. Umm… Damn it. How can I explain this?" Shin Jiao muttered as he scratched his head.

Seeing his expression, Old Ji suddenly realized something.

"I guess the rumors may not be true about this young lad." Old Ji thought.

"I understand what you mean young master." Old Ji replied.

"Thank you… I will teach your daughter something different, which would greatly help her in the future. This I promise you." Shin Jiao said.

When he saw the fine craftsmanship of the pendant, he knew that the young woman can make precision tools. In the underground base only he can make precision tools and parts but later taught it to Elder Wan Bing who took a long time to grasp this concept.

But now in front of him is a young woman with only using her bare hand was able to craft a pendant with precise measurement on both sides. When he scans his spiritual sense on the object he found that everything is precisely made, if he didn't know that he lives in an ancient place, he would think that the pendant was made using machines.

The young woman named, Ai Ji would be a great help for him in crafting Dao armaments. With a plan already rolling inside his head, he made up his mind to recruit the young woman to his team.

After meeting the family and assigning some tasks for Ai Ji, Shin Jiao and his mother along with the two maids left the old courtyard.

When the four people arrive in the small store of their a few people are already waiting outside. Shin Jiao recognized some of them as they were the people he sold those small and simple artifacts. Even the prince has come incognito while in a corner.

But what baffled him are the five imposing figures in front of the store. He can see the storekeeper of theirs slightly trembling behind the counter.

When their figure appears, everyone showed a happy smile. But suddenly a cold woman's voice reverberated through the air.

"What are you doing here? You and the Jiao clan are not welcome in my place." The cold voice of Aye Muyan echoed followed by the rising strength of her cultivation which is already in the late-stages of the gold core realm.

But what replied is a dumbfounded man who stares at her with wide eyes.

"You… you are my… my wife?"
