Chapter 234 Leng Aohan!
Chapter 234 Leng Aohan!
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Jiang Bai was led into the Jiang family's meeting hall by a servant.
At this time, there were only two siblings, Jiang Banshan and Jiang Li, in the hall.
Jiang Banshan took the initiative to greet him, his face full of concern.
"Haha, my dear nephew, you are here. Did you have a good rest last night?"
"Thank you for your concern, uncle, that's great!"
"That's good, that's good!"
Jiang Banshan looked at Jiang Bai, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Young people are scary. When I was your age, I was just a Foundation Building monk!"
"Xin'er told you yesterday."
Jiang Bai nodded and said, "I've said it all, uncle, don't worry, as long as the Jiang family doesn't let me down, I will definitely live up to the Jiang family!"
"Okay, okay, he's a good boy! Come here, both of you."
Jiang Banshan called Jiang Li and his brother over.
Then he put their hands into Jiang Bai's and said: "From now on, I will leave them to you. I am old and will abdicate in a few years. It is not a problem to always occupy this position. When the time comes, you have to help me take care of them more, they are the ones I worry about the most!"
Looking at Jiang Banshan, who seemed to be asking for help, Jiang Bai couldn't help complaining in his heart: "Have you already done this?"
But on the surface, he kept nodding.
"Jiang Bai, as an uncle, I have something to tell you in advance."
Jiang Banshan said suddenly.
"You say it and I listen."
"You also know that as this family grows, short-sighted people will inevitably appear. If anyone dares to embarrass you today, you can let go and play. Don't be too restrained. They are all members of the family and will not hold grudges!"
Jiang Bai was stunned when he heard this. This was too cruel. He directly encouraged outsiders to deal with his own family.
I don't know how hated Jiang Li's uncles, brothers and sisters are.
Jiang Banshan actually asked him to tell him this.
Soon, Jiang family members arrived one after another.
All of them were dressed in brocade robes and jade robes, and looked full of arrogance.
In particular, several clan elders who looked quite young wore various expensive rings on all ten of their fingers.
There are also some young people who look to be wearing silk and satin and are well-dressed.
When I saw Jiang Bai, I always had the look of disdain for a country bumpkin.
It is true that Jiang Bai's clothes are too simple.
After so many years, it’s just a blue-gray gown.
Even though she had long hair, it was simply tied up.
There was not even a single accessory on his body.
On the contrary, Jiang Li, the legitimate son of the Jiang family, was dressed quite normally.
Although there are several valuable jewelry.
But overall, it's very subtle.
As everyone arrived, Jiang Banshan also announced that today's meeting had officially begun.
At first it was all trivial matters, and everyone pretended to discuss them.
After the discussion was halfway through, Jiang Banshan took the initiative to propose the main content of today.
"I think everyone knows the purpose of coming to see you today. That is Xiaoli, to invite back the next spender!"
With that said, he turned his attention to Jiang Bai.
It's just not the same as imagined.
Everyone present seemed to be prepared for Jiang Bai's presence and did not show any shocked expressions.
"Then, I announce that today, Jiang Bai officially joins the Jiang family and becomes..."
Before he could finish speaking, someone immediately interrupted him.
"Brother!"
Jiang Banshan didn't look impatient at all and looked at the owner of the voice.
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man who looked very similar to him, but he was not as pot-bellied as him.
This person is none other than the second master of the Jiang family, Jiang Fushui.
"Second brother, what's the matter?"
Jiang Banshan asked warmly with a smile.
Jiang Fushui said expressionlessly: "Brother, I think it's better not to be so hasty about this matter. Everyone knows what it means to be a spender in our Jiang family, and Xiaoli is still young..."
As he said that, he looked at Jiang Li and found that the other party had no intention of refuting.
Then he continued: "Xiao Li is still young, and his experience and vision need to be improved. This matter needs to be discussed in the long term. The most important thing is that this Young Master Jiang Bai is only at the early stage of Nascent Soul, and is not even as good as Xin'er. I think he wants to be a spender, but he’s still a bit off!”
These words were very straightforward and did not leave any face to Jiang Bai.
To put it bluntly, I just feel that Jiang Bai's cultivation level is too low and does not match the status given by the Jiang family.
Jiang Li sneered and said, "Second uncle, are you saying that I don't know people well?"
Jiang Fushui said expressionlessly as before: "I'm so worried about parting, but my second uncle is also pragmatic, for the good of the Jiang family!"
"So what do you mean by the second uncle, that today's spender will not be settled?"
Jiang Li continued to ask.
Jiang Fushui shook his head and suddenly smiled.
"It's rare to have such a gathering today. It needs to be decided. I just think that this selection should not be so hasty. It is better to be cautious."
"Second uncle, it seems you have a better candidate today?"
Jiang Banshan just watched his son and his brother argue with each other happily, without any intention of intervening.
There is no intention to defend Jiang Bai.
The same is true for Jiang Xin.
As the head of the family at this time, one cannot take sides.
The other one, as an adopted daughter, cannot express any opinion on this matter.
The importance of spenders to the Jiang family cannot be ignored by anyone.
Therefore, Jiang Fushui's intervention was actually quite normal in Jiang Bai's opinion.
It's a pity that this matter involves Jiang Bai's interests.
Jiang Fushui clapped his hands.
Immediately, a young man with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, a handsome figure and a long sword at his waist came in.
"Allow me to introduce to you, Leng Aohan, Mr. Leng!"
"Wow, it's Mr. Leng, he's so handsome!"
Immediately, several girls from Jiang Li, who were either cousins or cousins, started to become nymphomaniacs.
At the same time, someone also asked: "Is this the Star Reaching Sword that used to be fourth on the Prodigy List?"
Jiang Fushui nodded when he heard this, with a proud look on his face.
"That's right, this is the genius who was once the fourth genius on the genius list. If I remember correctly, Mr. Jiang is also the fourth genius on the genius list now!"
Jiang Fushui was very satisfied with his hand.
As soon as Jiang Bai entered Jiang's house, he received the news.
It was also investigated.
He even found Leng Aohan, who was also the fourth in the list of geniuses.
You are fourth, but this person was also fourth, and now he has entered the middle stage of Soul Formation.
No matter how you look at it, Jiang Bai doesn't have any advantage over Leng Aohan.
According to the standards of the Jiang family, it was almost obvious who to choose.
It's just a pity that what happened at the Temple of War was a matter of the Demon Sect's own face.
Or does the academy want to protect Jiang Bai?
They all consciously controlled the spread of news in a tacit understanding.
So much so that Jiang Bai's current information is still at the time when he first entered the list of geniuses.
If Jiang Fushui had made further inquiries, he probably wouldn't have approached Leng Aohan!
At the very least, he is a stronger character.
