Chapter 69 - 68 Jiang Family Relatives

69: Chapter 68 Jiang Family Relatives 69 -68 Jiang Family Relatives A night passed. The next morning. The Jiang Family estate had thoroughly come alive, filled with joy. Early in the morning, Zhou Youwei took Zhou Bingyi and Ye Xuan to meet her maternal grandfather, Jiang Tiannan. Regrettably, they did not get to see him. It was Jiang Xiaozong, the current Family Head, who received them. This Jiang Xiaozong, as the eldest among the second-generation members, was Jiang Jing’s older brother and Zhou Youwei’s elder maternal uncle. “Youwei, did you rest well yesterday?” Jiang Xiaozong asked with a smile. Zhou Youwei inclined her head slightly and said softly, “I rested well.” “Uncle, why can’t we see grandfather?” Zhou Youwei asked proactively. “He should be practicing his martial arts,” Jiang Xiaozong replied casually. “Hehe, Youwei, this time it really was a poor arrangement on your part. You coming, and your mother coming, we all welcome, but bringing that good-for-nothing husband of yours, doesn’t that make our Jiang family a laughingstock among the many forces in the Southern Domain?” “Do you think your grandfather would want to see you?” Next to him, a middle-aged man dressed in ornate robes, resembling Jiang Xiaozong by quite a bit, spoke. Upon hearing this, Zhou Youwei’s brow slightly furrowed. This man was Zhou Youwei’s second uncle, also Jiang Xiaotang, the Family Head of another branch of the Jiang Family. It’s worth mentioning that Jiang Yunqi and Jiang Yunmeng were children of Jiang Xiaotang. Jiang Xiaotang sat to the side, his face cold. From his words, one could discern that the Jiang family was extremely dissatisfied with Ye Xuan’s visit! It could be said as well that they were very dissatisfied with Zhou Youwei and Jiang Jing. “Uncle, is it really like what Second Uncle said?” Zhou Bingyi’s face paled somewhat, and she looked toward Jiang Xiaozong. Jiang Xiaozong, however, lowered his head to sip his tea and remained silent, a trace of disdain in his eyes. “I understand.” Zhou Youwei relaxed her eyebrows and showed a slight smile, giving a small bow to Jiang Xiaozong and Jiang Xiaotang as she said, “Uncles, don’t worry, once grandfather’s birthday is over, we’ll leave and won’t embarrass the Jiang family.” “Hmm.” Jiang Xiaozong nodded slightly, not saying much. Jiang Xiaotang scoffed and said, “At least you’re somewhat self-aware. After all, today is your grandfather’s birthday, and he is keen on keeping up appearances. Later, people who matter in the Southern Domain will be arriving. If face is lost, Grandfather will be unhappy too.” “You!” Zhou Bingyi’s eyes turned red, and she was extremely angered to the limit. Zhou Youwei pulled Zhou Bingyi and spoke softly, “Let’s go.” Although she had already anticipated such a scenario, when it actually arrived, Zhou Youwei still felt the cold-heartedness of people. Back then, when she emerged as a prodigious goddess, relatives from the Jiang side would frequently visit the Emperor Immortal Sect. After she married Ye Xuan, the Jiang family’s contact with the Emperor Immortal Sect had almost ceased. Now, even her two uncles behaved this way, and that grandfather didn’t even want to meet her once, which left Zhou Youwei utterly disheartened. “Merely a Huainan Jiang family, to think of itself as a Great Emperor Immortal Sect, such a big show of arrogance,” suddenly, a jarring voice spoke up. The tone was laid-back, carrying a hint of disdain. The speaker was none other than Ye Xuan, sitting next to Zhou Youwei. At that moment, Ye Xuan’s expression was calm, but his eyes carried a hint of coldness. “Ye Xuan!” Zhou Youwei’s face changed slightly upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, but it was already too late to interrupt. “Hmm?” As Ye Xuan’s words fell, Jiang Xiaozong and Jiang Xiaotang both abruptly looked up, their gazes sharp as blades towards Ye Xuan.

The atmosphere in the grand hall instantly tensed up. “My wife came here with good intentions to offer congratulations, yet you, as elders, show such an attitude. What does that mean, no respect for the old?” Ye Xuan asked calmly in response to Jiang Xiaotang and Jiang Xiaozong’s imposing attitude. “Ye Xuan, stop talking,” Zhou Youwei shook her head and said. “Today’s situation is Youwei’s own choice, and no one is to blame. To speak of it, she was a goddess from heaven, but because of you, a good-for-nothing, she fell into the mortal world. Don’t you think you owe her an apology? Yet you still have the face to talk big here? If I were you, I would have killed myself by now.” Jiang Xiaotang looked at Ye Xuan with a face full of sarcasm. “Then why don’t you kill yourself and let me have a look?” Ye Xuan glanced at Jiang Xiaotang indifferently. Jiang Xiaotang scoffed and didn’t get angry. Instead, he shook his head with a dismissive laugh, “It seems, you are a good-for-nothing with a sharp tongue. But we live in a world where power reigns supreme. However smart your mouth is, what can it really achieve? A hundred years later, you will be nothing but a handful of dust.” “So, you think you’re a strong one now, do you?” Ye Xuan suddenly laughed. “I’m not arrogant, but in front of you, I indeed qualify as a strong one,” Jiang Xiaotang stated coolly. Ye Xuan shook his head and laughed, “Let’s not talk about anything else. Speaking only of my wife, she could kill you within ten moves.” This Jiang Xiaotang was a bit weaker than Qiu Wenhan. Considering that Yuan Zankong from Luotian Sacred Land, who was stronger than Qiu Wenhan, couldn’t escape from Zhou Youwei’s hand, what was Jiang Xiaotang worth? “Oh?” Jiang Xiaotang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Zhou Youwei. Zhou Youwei, however, was looking at Ye Xuan, and she gently said, “You forgot the words you said when we came here.” Ye Xuan smiled slightly, “That was on the premise that these people would not look for trouble. But if they continue to cause problems, I don’t mind erasing the Jiang Family from this world.” “Don’t mess around…” Zhou Youwei reached out and grabbed Ye Xuan. Others might not know, but Zhou Youwei knew well that Ye Xuan had the power of the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple and could kill the Great Elder of Luotian Sacred Land from a million miles away. The Jiang Family was only tens of thousands of miles away from the Emperor Immortal Sect. If Ye Xuan so wished, he could obliterate the Jiang Family in an instant! “Heh heh, to think that a good-for-nothing like you is so wildly arrogant, thinking about eradicating my Jiang Family?” Jiang Xiaotang laughed bitterly in anger. Jiang Xiaozong also narrowed his eyes at Ye Xuan, revealing a hint of murderous intent. No matter for what reason Ye Xuan said these words, saying them in their presence completely treated the Jiang Family as nothing! “Is it so lively this early in the morning?” Just then, a woman’s voice suddenly came from outside. “Third Sister has arrived,” Jiang Xiaozong withdrew his murderous intent and stood up to greet her. Jiang Xiaotang also shifted his gaze towards the door and stood up. A luxuriously dressed woman, looking majestic and around thirty years old, walked in from outside the hall. Behind her followed a young man and a young girl. “Eldest Brother, Second Brother,” the woman smiled and bowed slightly to Jiang Xiaozong and Jiang Xiaotang. “Third Sister, you finally arrived,” Jiang Xiaozong and Jiang Xiaotang both responded warmly, seemingly having forgotten the earlier unpleasantness. “Chen’er, Xiaotong, come greet your First Uncle and Second Uncle,” Jiang Yin said to the young man and girl behind her. “First Uncle, Second Uncle,” the young man and girl respectfully greeted. “Chen’er, Xiaotong, you both have grown so much,” Jiang Xiaozong and Jiang Xiaotang said with smiles. “Auntie,” Zhou Youwei looked at the woman and bowed slightly. “Auntie,” Zhou Bingyi called out reluctantly. Only Ye Xuan, completely at ease, remained seated without a move. “Is it Youwei and Bingyi, has your mother not come?” the woman asked upon hearing them, looking at Zhou Youwei and Zhou Bingyi with a somewhat diminished smile, “Sect affairs are busy; mother couldn’t get away,” Zhou Youwei replied softly. The woman smiled slightly, “That’s also true. Your mother marrying into that declining Emperor Immortal Sect and not being able to get away is understandable, but it’s still your father’s birthday today. No matter how busy, she should have come. Sending you young ones alone is truly inappropriate.” “My Cloud Divine Sect handles Heavens Cloud Upper Country’s affairs, which are even busier, yet here I am,” The Jiang Family’s old head, Jiang Tiannan, had four children in total: the eldest two sons, Jiang Xiaozong and Jiang Xiaotang, and the younger two daughters, Jiang Yin and Jiang Jing. This woman was Jiang Yin, Jiang Jing’s elder sister, and the aunt of Zhou Youwei and Zhou Bingyi. Jiang Jing had joined the Emperor Immortal Sect as the Sect Master’s wife, while Jiang Yin joined the Heavens Cloud Divine Sect as the Sect Master’s wife, However, the situations of the two Sect Master’s wives were quite different. Because the Cloud Divine Sect was a famous large sect in the Southern Domain, its overall strength was even above that of the Luotian Sacred Land! “Auntie is correct,” Zhou Youwei said calmly. “Oh, and who is this young man?” Jiang Yin’s gaze shifted slightly and settled on Ye Xuan. Upon hearing this, the faces of Jiang Xiaozong and Jiang Xiaotang instantly turned cold, and they said, “He is Youwei’s good-for-nothing husband, Ye Xuan.” “Don’t be fooled by his being a good-for-nothing; he talks of eradicating my Jiang Family,” Jiang Xiaotang mocked.
