Precisely because Jiang Shoutian is still young, he will be the leader of the clan for a long, long time.
When he chose the young patriarch, he hoped that Jiang Rui, a son with no ambitions, would take the position.
After all, you don't need to be too defensive.
The other sons are deep-minded.
You must know that in ancient times, if someone had been a prince for decades, he would probably go crazy and usurp the throne.
And if other sons become young patriarchs, they will definitely be eyeing the position of patriarch.
This will inevitably cause a lot of trouble.
This is why Jiang Shoutian must make Jiang Rui the young patriarch.
Because this son has no ambitions and is easy to control.
Of course, the only bad thing is that having little ambition is accompanied by little ability.
The future position of patriarch of the Xuantian Clan must not be given to this son.
In that case, the entire race would be doomed.
Jiang Shoutian didn't even understand this.
But at this stage, Jiang Rui is undoubtedly the best candidate for the position of young patriarch.
………
After leaving the main hall.
Xu Zimo walked outside, and the old Black Mountain demon was already waiting for him.
The two of them went to their residence in advance, and after checking out the location, they came to pick up Xu Zimo.
This also ensures that Xu Zimo does not know where he lives, thus exposing his flaws.
"Young Patriarch, what should we do next?" the old Black Mountain demon asked in a low voice.
Xu Zimo thought for a while.
He said: "In the next few days, you will first explore the map of Xantian Mansion. You are my slaves. It should be very convenient for you to do things. No one dares to embarrass you."
"We will study it again after we find out more about it."
Hearing Xu Zimo's words, the old demon from Montenegro nodded quickly.
Return to your residence.
The place where Jiang Rui lives is really nice.
It can be regarded as one of the blessed places in the cave.
After all, he is the nominal young patriarch of the Xantian clan, so he is not shabby at all.
The place Jiang Rui lives in is not just a courtyard or a few houses.
It is a huge building complex.
There are at least hundreds of rooms, and there are almost tens of thousands of slaves and maids here.
This building complex is equivalent to a sect of a small power.
There are various places for cultivation, alchemy and even a library.
It can be seen that the facilities are complete and very exquisite.
Everything you can think of is perfectly arranged here.
After walking through tree-lined paths and dozens of quiet corridors, Xu Zimo returned to his original room.
He actually doesn't care about the convenience and troubles this status brings.
Just let him find out the secret of the Xantian clan's collection of Origin Beads.
He had an intuition that maybe the old lady was one of the breakthrough points.
In the next few days, Xu Zimo stayed at home.
Originally, he wanted to find a translator of old Japanese characters to translate the wheel-turning sutra in his hand.
But then I thought about it, the people in Xuntian Mansion are too many-eyed.
Some things still need to be kept low-key.
Try to find someone outside as much as possible to feel more at ease.
So that morning, Xu Zimo left the room, preparing to leave Xantian Mansion and go to the old library.
In fact, he's hiding pretty well these days.
No one noticed anything unusual about him.
When Xu Zimo walked out of the building complex where he lived and was about to leave, someone suddenly stopped him halfway.
"Brother, it's been so long!"
The person who stopped him was a handsome young man.
This young man is wearing white clothes, has long hair, is tall and tall, and has a face like a crown jewel.
He wears a three-foot green sword around his waist.
I saw him stopping in front of Xu Zimo, with a cold smile on his face.
Xu Zimo has learned about Xantian Mansion in the past few days, although he cannot guarantee the details.
But he already knew the general situation.
He originally had two younger brothers and one younger sister.
These three people are the young patriarch's fiercest competition.
The young man in white clothes in front of him is his third brother, named Jiang Bin.
His talent is very good, and it is said that he has already made a name for himself in Wangtianjiao.
Moreover, those who truly rely on their own strength are not the kind of forces that rely on the Xantian Clan.
The relationship between Jiang Rui and his younger brothers is not good.
The main reason is actually because of the position of the young patriarch.
The two of them rarely communicated with each other, but Jiang Bin took the initiative to say hello.
Xu Zimo also replied symbolically: "I haven't seen you for a while. I heard that you went out to practice."
"I just came back and came to see my eldest brother," Jiang Bin said with a smile.
"I heard that my eldest brother's position as the young patriarch was removed from his position by father?"
As soon as he heard this, Xu Zimo knew that he was here to inquire about news.
After all, because of the affairs of the day and night clan, they always have to do something to save face.
Although Jiang Shoutian did not make a clear announcement, what he said before was also revealed.
So much so that many people spread rumors about it.
But they didn't dare to really question Jiang Shoutian, so they could only ask Jiang Rui for questioning.
Looking at Jiang Bin's questioning eyes.
Xu Zimo smiled lightly.
Said: "It's nothing, my second brother is overthinking it."
"If my second brother doesn't believe it, you can ask your father in person."
Jiang Bin's eyes darkened slightly.
I saw him sneer.
Said: "Brother, I have some news that I might want to tell you."
"I heard that the holy girl of the Qinglian tribe you insulted originally had a husband."
"Later, after this incident happened, his husband-in-law also disappeared. I advise you not to leave the family during this period."
"Lest any accident happen, we won't even have a chance to save it."
"Second brother, you should take care of yourself," Xu Zimo said lightly.
"If you really like to worry about others so much, how about when I become the patriarch of the clan, I will let you be the general manager of Xantian Mansion?"
"You..." Jiang Bin was a little angry.
When did my elder brother become so sharp-tongued?
He snorted coldly and said calmly: "We'll see at the birthday party."
It can be seen that Xu Zimo put all his treasures on the old lady's birthday banquet, and several other people did not give up too much.
The other thing is the belonging of the saint girl of the day and night clan.
Whoever can marry her may be able to secure his position as the young clan leader, or even the future clan leader.
………
After separating from Jiang Bin, Xu Zimo headed towards the old library.
But before going out, there was an old man waiting for Xu Zimo at the door.
He calls himself the Sky Poison Demon, and he is a worshiper of the Xuntian Mansion.
Knowing that Xu Zimo was going out, he deliberately followed the protector.
It wasn't so special before, but it seems that the people in Xantian Mansion were also afraid of revenge from the husband of the Qinglian tribe's holy daughter.
This guardian was specially arranged.
Xu Zimo was happy and relaxed, he didn't have to take action himself if anything happened.
He looked in the direction of the old library.
There was no hiding of his whereabouts along the way.
Mainly because of his face, it is estimated that few people in Wangtianjiao would not recognize him.
