Jiang Ziheng's wife, who is now the mistress, heard the news of her son's death and hanged herself that night. Fortunately, she was discovered early and saved. She was in a coma for three days and three nights before she woke up.
Later, the doctors discovered that the wife was pregnant - Jiang Ziheng's posthumous son. It was precisely because of this that the mistress had the courage to live.
The ancestor was also sad, so he said that this child must be kept and born, and he must be the future head of the family.
At this time, the ancestor no longer wanted to be reasonable.
Unexpectedly, I gave birth to a girl, not to mention it, because the mistress had been in a coma for three days and three nights, which damaged her vitality. The daughter was extremely weak, and because she was afraid that she would not be able to raise her, she was nicknamed "Abandoned Child".
In any case, she is the future head of the family, but she is still young and does not have the ability to take charge of the family. The family is now jointly managed by the mistress and Jiang Zizhen.
If the development continues like this, if the ancestor of the Jiang family lives for another thirty years, the abandoned child will have enough strength and experience to become the head of the family - in thirty years, he will use the elixir to pile up the abandoned child.
Fairy.
However, Jiang Jingtao's death changed the situation fundamentally. As the highest fighting force of the Jiang family, Jiang Zizhen had to give up the power of the family and hide behind the scenes.
The iron law of the Fenghuang world is that the highest combat power of each family cannot personally take care of family affairs.
Unshown fists are the scariest thing, and taking care of family affairs will definitely affect the improvement of cultivation, and it is also easier to encounter accidents - many external matters require the intervention of the family head.
At this time, it is necessary to determine the head of the family. The abandoned child is obviously not qualified, especially the Jiang family can't bear it. The abandoned child... is a girl.
When the ancestor was here, no one expressed any clear objection. Even so, there were many people who said something wrong behind his back. In order to protect her daughter's connections, the mother of the abandoned child turned a blind eye to many things.
.
——When the time comes, my daughter can become the head of the family. She will be considered dedicated.
Today everyone discussed the need to re-elect the head of the family. She finally couldn't bear it anymore.
However, the force of opposition was also very high. Jiang Zicheng, the leader of the war hall, spoke loudly, "Mother, the abandoned child is still young, and she may meet the right person in the future, so you have the heart to give up... for the position of the head of the family.
Is she a saint?"
"The head of the Jiang family is naturally qualified to recruit a wife," the mistress replied with a sneer. "I really don't care about the position of the head of the family. What I can't stand the most is that my ancestor's bones are still cold, and you don't want to work together to overcome the difficulties. On the contrary,
Think about this for the first time!”
At this point, she slammed the table again. "I never like to make family scandals public. Since you have made great contributions some time ago, I first informed Ziqin because he was flexible... Why didn't I inform Jing?
Extend old age?”
A third-level immortal smiled bitterly and said, "Ziqin is a cautious guy who can cause trouble. I'm not as good as him in this regard."
"But Elder Jing Yanchang, you like the abandoned children. Why don't I give you the great credit?" The mistress was furious, "In addition to the abandoned children's cultivation resources, that is what the ancestor meant... these years
, what did I do that was unfair? Tell me! Who of you dares to be like me and say such a thing?"
"Sister-in-law," Jiang Zizhen smiled bitterly, "don't let your distinguished guest see the joke."
"Let's present the facts and be reasonable. We are not afraid of others making fun of us." The mistress was completely furious today. "I asked Jiang Erfu to inform Ziqin that something good happened in Taozhi Town. It was also I who asked Jiang Erfu to inform the distinguished guests. There must be someone to take charge.
justice!"
This is really... Chen Taizhong smacked his lips, put a table in front of him, got out a teapot, poured hot water into the teapot, and didn't even raise his eyelids - it's none of my business.
"Mother, aren't you relying on the power of outsiders?" A voice whispered softly.
"After the clan meeting, we faced the ice cave wall for ten days," Jiang Zizhen said coldly, "Do you have the right to speak now?"
No family likes someone in the clan taking advantage of outsiders to oppress the clan members, but Jiang Zizhen knew very well how terrifying Chen Taizhong was.
There is no need to talk about what happened in Qingshi City, let’s just talk about Taozhi Town. The senior brother of the Ten Thousand Ji Sect was able to stand up to him, and he came up with an earth-shattering spell that scared the ninth-level spirit fairy Liu Yuanlin to find a way to sue for peace.
.
That's the madman who claims to be able to destroy the Ten Thousand Ji Sect.
Ever since Chen Taizhong entered the Jiang family camp, neither he nor the people who received him in the Jiang family mentioned his name, not even his surname. Even the mistress, who was extremely angry, always treated him as a "distinguished guest".
——The Jiang family asked Chen Taizhong for help. If word spread, there would be big trouble.
Therefore, many people in the clan did not know who Fang Sheng was, and as a result, two clan members were about to be punished by family law.
However, Jiang Zizhen is not worried about Chen Taizhong's bias. The four spiritual immortals of the Jiang family who have the most contact with this person, apart from the opinions of Shu Yun, the guest minister, the other three are against the female head of the family.
The leader of the war hall, Jiang Zicheng, was the most opposed. Jiang Ziqin was a relatively unprejudiced person. He simply felt that an outcast was not enough to control the family.
The reason for Jiang Jingjin's objection is rather strange - I have had enough of being a saint. The abandoned child is so pitiful, so I don't want to be the head of the family.
The most correct choice at the moment is: Don't anger Chen Taizhong no matter what, otherwise the whole Jiang family may not be enough for him to kill - facing a group of two-headed green lizards in this house, who will laugh last?
"I don't use my power to bully others," the mistress said, cupping her hands towards Chen Taizhong, "and I ask your distinguished guest to uphold justice."
"My surname is really not Jiang. Isn't it difficult for me?" Chen Taizhong smiled wryly and spread his hands, "I just want to ask, who of the two of you can represent the Jiang family?"
The whole room was silent again. Everyone can represent the Jiang family, but no one can represent the Jiang family.
After a long while, the mistress sighed and said quietly, "The Tongxin card was crushed by the abandoned child."
"Okay, you represent the Jiang family," Chen Taizhong nodded. He had no choice, and he didn't know what to choose. I want to keep my promise, not to interfere with your housework. "Say what you want me to do for you."
What."
Jiang Zizhen coughed lightly and said, "Dear guest, I believe you still remember who gave the Tongxin card to you."
Chen Taizhong would not fall into such twists and turns. He said decisively, "The person who gives it away may be an errand boy, but only the person who crushes it has the right to make demands."
"My request is not high, I will only delay your efforts for a month," the mistress said calmly, "help the abandoned child to stabilize the head of the family, and kill a mid-level spirit immortal appropriately to establish his authority."
"Is one month enough?" The man who called Mr. Jing Yanchang frowned - he was from the mistress's side.
"I'm afraid they won't even want to wait one more day!" When the mistress said this, she slammed the table again in anger, "The situation is so critical... you are actually considering re-electing the head of the family!"
"One month is enough," Chen Taizhong nodded. He was fed up with this kind of wrangling, and he didn't want to stay in the Jiang family. "In the worst case, we can show weakness to the enemy. We can even make two baits. You kill the little guy to attract the big shot."
, I’ll kill!”
"That makes sense!" Jing Yanchang nodded with admiration. It was obvious that he was the kind of person who didn't have many scheming ideas.
It seemed that it was settled, so Jiang Zizhen became a little anxious, "Dear guest, the one who crushed the Tongxin card is the abandoned child... The abandoned child, the future of the Jiang family depends on your choice."
Having said this, his eyes turned to the delicate female nun.
In fact, the Tongxin card belongs to the ancestor, but the ancestor felt sorry for the abandoned child, so he gave it to her - of course, this was not a far-sighted move.
The abandoned child didn't answer. Her eyelids were drooped and her eyes were a little unfocused. She didn't know what she was thinking.
The mistress was also speechless. It took a long time before she softly called out, "Abandoned child?"
After a long while, the abandoned child finally raised his eyelids and stared straight at Chen Taizhong with a pair of clear eyes, "I would like to ask, may your distinguished guest... kill a high-level spirit immortal?"
Chen Taizhong suddenly had a big headache. It had been agreed upon, but why was there such a sudden twist? Is this not over yet?
He originally wanted to be angry, but when he saw the other party's clear eyes, he finally couldn't bear it, "Why do you ask?"
After the abandoned child was stunned for a moment, he slowly stood up, then his knees softened and he knelt down, "I beg you, distinguished guest, to take action and avenge your ancestor. This is the promise I want."
By the time she said it, she was crying.
I wiped it, but Chen Taizhong was lucky enough not to let the tea burn his mouth. He stayed there for a while and then asked suspiciously, "Didn't your ancestor... die from poison?"
The whole room fell silent again, and after a long while, Jiang Zizhen sighed softly, "Idiot!"
The mistress felt sorry for her daughter and hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, but the frail abandoned child struggled desperately and could not get up.
Seeing this, Jiang Ziqin hurriedly spoke out, "The distinguished guest can kill the high-level spirit immortal, but the price is too high."
He had seen the scene of the explosion. Not to mention the high-level spirit immortal, it was lucky that the high-level jade immortal escaped at that scene - even if he didn't know how powerful the high-level jade immortal was.
He knew very well that even if he sold the entire Jiang family, he couldn't afford that kind of magic.
"It was clearly promised to kill the middle-level spirit immortal," Chen Taizhong smacked his teeth at the flower seed. In fact, he also wanted to kill one of the high-level spirit immortals to give it a try, but in this case, the price was raised as promised.
However, the girl did not mention the head of the family and only wanted to avenge her family. He still admired this attitude. Of course, the first thing he wanted to ask was, "Let me tell you, how did your ancestor...die?"
"After eating the palm of a ninth-level immortal, the poison caused death," Jiang Zizhen sighed softly.
Damn it, a ninth-level spirit fairy...can you replace it with a seventh-level one? Chen Taizhong's face was as dark as water, but he was cursing in his heart.
He is now relatively sure that if he encounters a ninth-level spiritual immortal from a sect like Liu Yuanlin, he will probably have no problem escaping. If he encounters a ninth-level casual cultivator, he can consider killing someone.
After thinking about it, he asked again, "Why did this person slap your ancestor?"
"He came to my Jiang family to extort spiritual stones," Jiang Jingyan replied in a deep voice, "A 260-year-old ninth-level spiritual immortal whose lifespan is approaching, so he went crazy."
