Ch69 - The Jiang Family

A month later.

Jiang Xu frowned irritably at Jiang Dong, Jiang Min, Xu Qianshan, and Xu Qianya blocking his way. “Get out of my way! Good dogs don’t get in the way!”

Jiang Dong’s face turned gloomy. “Second Brother, what did you just say?”

“Young Master Jiang, I’m not your Second Brother. Have you forgotten that I was kicked out of the house long ago? So don’t come to me and recognize me as a relative. I can’t bear you calling me Second Brother.” ‘Are these people kidding me? He was only thirteen years old when he was expelled from the house. Now, he is already nineteen years old, and it has been six years since he was expelled. Jiang Dong actually came to recognize him as a cousin? Wouldn’t that be too funny?’

Jiang Dong frowned. “Second Brother, don’t be angry. Grandpa already regretted what had happened. As long as you go back to the Jiang’s Mansion with me after the secret realm is over, Grandpa will forgive you and accept you back home.”

Looking at the ‘regretful’ expression on Jiang Dong’s face, Jiang Xu smiled contemptuously. “Tell Patriarch Jiang, thank you for his sympathy and compassion for me. However, I have no interest in going back.”

How could he go back? The person Grandpa doted on was Jiang Dong, the Eldest brother in the family. He didn’t bother to look at him even once. His Uncle and Aunt even regarded him as a thorn in their flesh. Such a home where no one loved and cared for him, what is the reason for him going back? To continue to be a cold bench? Continue to look at other people’s disgusting expressions on their faces, and be looked down upon? No, he no longer needed such a home. It was enough for him to have Mufeng, who loved him and cared for him. Why go back to the Jiang family to be a superfluous person?

“Jiang Xu, you don’t know what you’re saying. The Jiang family is willing to let you go back home because they look up to you. They don’t want to punish you.” Seeing Jiang Xu, who was strongly refusing, Xu Qianya said unhappily.

Jiang Xu snorted in disdain. “Does the matter of the Jiang family have anything to do with you, surnamed Xu?”

“You, you…” Seeing the arrogant and wanton Jiang Xu, Xu Qianya was furious.

“Xiaoya, don’t interrupt!” Xu Qianshan said coldly after glaring at his sister.

“Oh!” Looking at her brother, Xu Qianya also knew that this matter was crucial and did not dare to say more.

“Second Brother, Grandpa and father are very worried about you. They heard that you and the grandson of the City Lord of Black Dragon City got married, and they are very happy for you. After the secret realm is over, you can take your Dao companion back to Jiang’s residence.” Looking at Jiang Xu, Jiang Min said pleasantly.

They relentlessly kicked the thirteen-year-old him out of the house, leaving him unattended for six years. At this moment, their feeling of coldness and disgust that they gave him suddenly lifted? Is this normal? Did they feel guilty and sorry for him? Was it possible? Of course not.

They came to him and wanted him to return to the family because his husband, Liu Mufeng, could help people cleanse their spiritual roots. Therefore, they saw the value of Mufeng, so they came to curry favor with him, please him, and let him return to the family. If it wasn’t for the temptation of this huge benefit, how could his arrogant grandfather look for him? If it wasn’t to wash the spiritual roots of his children, how could his vampire-like uncle and aunt let him go home? How come?

“Second brother, no matter what, we are all a family. Mufeng is now a hot figure in the Lingwu Continent. If you can marry him, we are all happy for you.” Looking at Jiang Xu, Jiang Dong said with a smile.

“Don’t worry, I will tell Mufeng to give you a discount. The others had paid 80 million spirit stones for one person. Ten people in the family needed cleansing. That would be 800 million. If you have the spirit stones, we will come to wash your spiritual roots. If you don’t have spirit stones, just find a way to earn more or live with your spiritual roots.Shi, you don’t need to be close to me. It’s useless. I’ve been happier in Black Dragon City than in Jialan City. It’s impossible for me to go back.” For Jiang Xu, as long as there was another place for him, even if it was a windy place, he would never go home. He would rather live in a small bungalow in Black Dragon City for his whole life, than covet the brocade clothes and jade food, high beds and warm pillows of this Jiang family.

Hearing Jiang Xu’s words, Jiang Dong’s whole face was distorted. “Jiang Xu, you are going too far.”

“Yeah, I’m just so over the top. Haven’t you known me since the day I was born?” Jiang Xu snorted coldly, with a look of contempt on his face. ‘Are you finally going to tear off your disguise of being a good brother? After pretending to be a good brother for so long, it’s really hard for him to hide his spoiled demeanor.’

“Jiang Xu!” Jiang Dong’s entire face turned black as he gritted his teeth and called the other’s name.

“What? Do you want to fight? Show me what you got.” Jiang Xu directly unsheathed his sword.

Taking out his own magic sword, Jiang Dong rushed towards Jiang Xu. The two brothers were both swordsmen, and they soon fought together.

“This, this…” Jiang Min frowned as she looked at her brother fighting with Jiang Xu and thought to herself,‘Brother, aren’t you too impulsive? When they came to the secret realm, grandfather and father urged Jiang Dong to persuade Jiang Xu to return. It was said that Jiang Xu is now the grandson-in-law of the City Lord of Black Dragon City, and his identity is no longer comparable to before. It was also said that Liu Mufeng could use the Five Elements Spirit Insects to wash the spiritual roots of people. If Jiang Xu returned to Jiang’s house, a few of them could ask Liu Mufeng to help them become a single spiritual root.’

Initially, Jiang Min was still thinking of playing a bitter game, pretending to forgive Jiang Xu and letting Jiang Xu go home soft-hearted. But her brother didn’t wait for her to act. He had already started a fight with the other. How can this be good?

“Oh, Eldest Brother, you are too impulsive!” Looking at Jiang Dong, Xu Qianshan also complained very much. ‘Liu Mufeng will definitely be unhappy when the Elder brother treats Jiang Xu like this. The matter of washing their spiritual roots was probably even more difficult.’

Jiang Dong and Jiang Xu were nine stars in the Spiritual Mortal Realm. Both are sword cultivators who have learned swordsmanship since childhood. Therefore, they were evenly matched when the two fought, and their moves were indistinguishable. Jiang Min and the Xu family brother and sister watched anxiously. But they couldn’t intervene between the two. They could only watch.

Seeing the man in brocade clothes attacking hisXiaoXu fiercely with a sword, Liu Mufeng was furious and directly released his Golden Spirit Insects.

As more than 10,000 Golden Spirit Insects pounced directly towards Jiang Dong, the battle between the two immediately fell to one side. Jiang Dong was blown away by Jiang Xu’s sword move as his body was covered with the Golden Insects.

“Damn insects, get off, get off!” Jiang Dong yelled and hurriedly slapped the insects with the sword in his hand.

“Mufeng!” Seeing his lover, Jiang Xu greeted him with a smile.

“Are you all right?” Holding Jiang Xu’s hand, Liu Mufeng asked worriedly.

“I’m okay!” Shaking his head, Jiang Xu said that he was okay.

With a wave, Liu Mufeng took back his Golden Insects. At that moment, Liu Muyan and the other five of the Liu family had already followed.

“Brother, are you all right?” Stepping forward, Jiang Min and Xu Qianshan immediately ran to check Jiang Dong’s injury.

“You, are you Liu Mufeng?” Jiang Dong asked angrily after being bitten all over.

“Yes, I am Liu Mufeng. If your Excellency wants to kill my Dao companion, you have to pass me first!” Liu Mufeng’s eyes were full of killing intent. ‘Dare to touch his Xiao Xu? Courting death!’

“No, no, the Eldest Brother and the Second Brother are just exchanging pointers. So how can we, brothers and sisters, kill each other?” Shaking her head, Jiang Min hurriedly explained.

“Yeah, Jiang Xu is our Second brother. This is Jiang Xu’s Elder brother – Jiang Dong, and this is Jiang Xu’s Elder sister – Jiang Min. I am Jiang Xu’s brother-in-law – Xu Qianshan. We are all a family.” Nodding, Xu Qianshan hurriedly introduced their identities. At the same time his heart whispered, ‘This eldest brother is really a troublemaker, and he left such a bad first impression on Liu Mufeng. It’s probably not easy to ask him to cleanse their spiritual roots in the future.’

Liu Mufeng looked at Xu Qianshan, his eyebrows raised as he looked at the other man from head to toe and back. “So you are Xu Qianshan. You look so outrageous. I don’t know where you got your confidence, but you have the nerve to tell others that myXiaoXu seduced you? Hmph! With your ugly face, I’m afraid it’s just that, only the blind can see it.”

The Lingwu Continent was very conservative in some ways. In this continent, young masters and mistresses were very concerned about their looks and reputations. However, Xu Qianshan, this shameless toad, framedXiaoXu for seducing him when he was the one who failed to flirt withXiaoXu. As a result,XiaoXu was kicked out of the house at thirteen, carrying the notoriety of stealing his cousin’s man. This matter, Liu Mufeng gets angry when he thinks about it.

“Hey, this, this…” Hearing Liu Mufeng’s words, Xu Qianshan blushed in embarrassment.

“Hey, Liu Mufeng, what did you say?” Xu Qianya was annoyed when she saw her brother being humiliated.

“I said, your ugly bastard brother really looks like a toad. I really don’t know how you siblings got the courage to walk out of the house. Were you molested and wronged? Are you kidding me? Do you think you’re the only man in this continent that my family’sXiaoXu would even look at you, a toad?” He looked like a hedonistic playboy. Did he really think he was a peerless beauty? He got the nerve to say thatXiaoXu seduced him, which was really funny.

“You, you shameless bastard! I will fight with you! I will fight with you!” Said Xu Qianya, who was called ugly, rushed towards Liu Mufeng.

With a wave of his hand, Liu Mufeng directly slapped the person out.

“Xiaoya! Xiaoya!” Jiang Min and Xu Qianshan exclaimed in shock. They hurried over to help up Xu Qianya, who had been beaten and vomited blood.

“You, are you in the Spiritual Mortal Realm?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Xu Qianya asked in disbelief.
