For a moment, even Feng Qingwu was stunned on the spot.
The head of the Jiang family didn't seem to feel that he had said anything wrong, but found that the entire atmosphere seemed to be stagnant, and he seemed even stiffer than when Jiang Zicheng spoke with thorns before.
He subconsciously looked at Feng Qingwu: "What's wrong, is there a problem? Zi Le, since you are Zicheng's sister, you are from the Jiang family, and our Jiang family will naturally recognize you."
"It's just that your health is too poor. Not only do you have no talent, but you are just an ordinary mortal. It is impossible for you to follow Zicheng back to Tianxuan Sect."
"As long as you recognize your ancestors and return to the clan, after the alchemist gathering is over and Zicheng leaves, you will continue to live in the Jiang family. This is your home after all."
As the head of the Jiang family spoke, he felt that his idea was pretty good, so the more he continued to speak, the firmer his voice became. He even looked at Feng Qingwu with a false fatherly smile.
But Feng Qingwu just stood there without speaking, silently stroking his little white's soft fur with his hands and lowering his eyes indifferently.
Even Mu Jiuke, who had been drowsy all the time, was startled by the Jiang family head's words. He raised his head silently and stared with his pair of deep black beast eyes, vaguely carrying a hint of murderous intent.
In just a short moment, the atmosphere in the main hall of the Jiang family became increasingly weird. Even Jiang Zicheng was just watching and didn't seem to want to speak.
Mrs. Jiang seemed to have vaguely discovered something, and carefully pulled the head of the Jiang family: "This... why are you in a hurry, husband..."
"indeed."
Jiang Zicheng, who had been silent, finally spoke. He smiled innocently and said directly: "Dad, you are very anxious."
"Until her death, my mother could not even enter the Jiang family, let alone enter the ancestral hall. Her name was not even written on the Jiang family's genealogy."
"My sister is just my sister. She doesn't need to recognize her ancestors and return to the clan, because her mother and I are not from the Jiang family in the first place. Why do we have to recognize our ancestors and return to our clan?"
Jiang Zicheng didn't want to say it so bluntly, but after thinking about it, in order to prevent something unexpected from happening, he took the initiative to interrupt the Jiang family head's incredible thought.
After all, although Feng Qingwu is the senior sister, Jiang Zicheng feels that she is still very calm and can tolerate anger, but——
Xiaobai in her arms is not a good-tempered person, and his claws may be sticky in the next moment.
Based on the pressure Jiang Zicheng felt before, he seriously doubted that the two heads of the Jiang family were not powerful enough for Xiaobai to slap him with one paw...
In order to avoid any bloodshed, Jiang Zicheng had no choice but to step forward and take on the important responsibilities. Fortunately, Mrs. Jiang was also a smart person who noticed that something was wrong and stopped the head of the Jiang family first.
The head of the Jiang family didn't expect that he just wanted to recognize a daughter. He was first scolded by Jiang Zicheng, and his wife also tried to persuade her.
But after only a moment of stalemate, the head of the Jiang family gave up on his own initiative and said directly: "Okay then, I can understand what you two think, Zicheng. The Jiang family can't stand you in this matter."
"In this case, the Jiang family will entertain you and Zi Le well during the alchemist gathering. You and Zi Le can also watch the gathering in peace and contentment at the Jiang family. What do you think?"
With that said, the head of the Jiang family turned to look at Jiang Zicheng.
But Jiang Zicheng couldn't help laughing: "Yes, then please treat us two 'family members' well. After all, you are anxious to drive us away after the meeting, aren't you?"
Upon hearing this, the head of the Jiang family did not expect that what he wanted to express in a subtle way would be said so frankly by Jiang Zicheng, and his face changed.
But before he could even try to quibble, Jiang Zicheng and Feng Qingwu had already turned around and left, leaving only two figures behind for the head of the Jiang family.
The ignored Jiang family head:...
But although he was a little angry, he did not speak. It was after Jiang Zicheng and the others left that he looked at the lady beside him.
"Ma'am, what's wrong?"
"You shouldn't be in such a hurry, husband."
Mrs. Jiang was also a little helpless and sighed: "You don't even think about it. It's been so long, and Jiang Zile appears out of nowhere. It doesn't look right no matter how you look at it."
"Furthermore, in fact, Zicheng is not willing to come back at all. This time he got up inexplicably and returned to the Jiang family, and brought back a mysterious woman. With such a lame excuse, he must have other motives."
"So, just thinking about it this way, you know that Jiang Zile's identity must be fake, and he has no blood relationship with our Jiang family. Why do you want to let people recognize their ancestors?"
Unexpectedly, the head of the Jiang family, who originally looked a little stupid, couldn't help but frown and said directly: "I know everything, madam."
"But besides us, who else knows what's going on here, so in fact, in the eyes of outsiders, Jiang Zile still bears the name of the Jiang family."
"I also know that when she comes back with Zicheng this time, she most likely wants to cause trouble, so I want her to recognize her ancestors and return to the clan, and use the ancestors' methods to find a way to control her so as not to cause trouble."
The head of the Jiang family paused for a moment, with helplessness on his face: "Madam, you also know that the gathering of alchemists is a very important matter for the Xia family. If something goes wrong..."
He hadn't finished what he said, but Mrs. Jiang had completely understood, but she could only smile bitterly.
"Husband, what you are afraid of is the Xia family's fault, but don't forget, if the trouble is really that ugly, what should we do in Zicheng?"
"The current situation of the Jiang family is so bad that it is impossible for us to compete with the Xia family. If we still want to maintain such autonomy, we can only rely on Zicheng..."
"...Oh, you are right."
The head of the Jiang family seemed to want to say something, but after a moment of silence, he could only echo: "It's been me who has been sorry for Zicheng for so many years."
Seeing his loneliness and helplessness, Mrs. Jiang just consoled him thoughtfully: "It's okay, husband. Over the years, we have vigorously developed the Jiang family."
"As long as we have one or two points of strength to compete with the Xia family, we can get Zicheng out of the whirlpool, and he won't be in so much pain anymore..."
