"You!" The second elder suddenly became angry, his eyes widened, and he wished he could eat Jiang Fan alive, but he couldn't find any words to refute.
According to the second elder's original plan, he originally wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate Jiang Fan's power and make him a puppet young master, so that he could completely control the entire Jiang family in the future.
But who would have expected that Jiang Fan would be so cunning and insist on the clan rules, so that the second elder would be given such a high hat. Even though he was extremely unwilling to do so, he had no choice but to drop the matter.
Seeing the normally majestic and arrogant second elder being silenced by Jiang Fan, the other elders and deacons also felt strange.
But after being in a coma for a few days, how did Jiang Fan change his old desolate virtues and become so shrewd and even a little aggressive?
Compared with the second elder's gloomy expression, Jiang Xiaonan was a little excited by this sudden reversal. He stared at Jiang Fan with red eyes, feeling extremely happy in his heart.
His eyes met Jiang Xiaonan's. Jiang Fan also smiled at him and said to himself: Grandpa, don't worry, this time I won't be as weak as before, let alone let you down. I will give you what I have lost. , take them all back!
Immediately, Jiang Fan no longer hesitated and said loudly: "Since the elders have no objections, then..."
"etc!"
However, before Jiang Fan could finish his words, a young man from the Jiang family's team suddenly stood up.
The young man was dressed in white and had a handsome appearance. His eyes were bright and shrewd, but his eyes looked rather gloomy at the moment.
"Jiang Jie?"
With the appearance of the boy in white, the expressions of many elders and deacons changed, and they all turned their attention to him.
The young man in white is named Jiang Jie. He is the son of the second elder. He has outstanding talent. He has reached the peak of the ninth level of body tempering at the age of only seventeen. He is only one step away from breaking through to the Qi refining realm. Among the younger generation, he is enough to rank among the top three.
However, Jiang Fan didn't have a good impression of this person. On the one hand, Jiang Yu and Jiang Cheng, who had come to trouble him before, were his people. On the other hand, he had been poisoned before, so who benefited the most was naturally Jiang Jie, the son of the second elder.
Jiang Jie first stepped forward, bowed to all the elders and deacons present, and then said directly: "Master, elders, although what Jiang Fan said before has some truth, Tianyao Pavilion is related to my Jiang family after all. lifeline."
"If Jiang Fan has the strength to become the young master of the family, I will naturally have nothing to say."
"But he only awakened the useless martial soul, and the martial arts training has been abandoned for a long time. To let such a person with no talent, no responsibility, and no courage come to take charge of the Jiang family. With all due respect, don't say I don't agree. I'm afraid that everyone in the Jiang family All the children will not agree with it.”
Jiang Jie's words were impassioned and resounding, and immediately attracted the nods of the elders, deacons, and disciples.
This has nothing to do with his identity as the son of the second elder and a core member of the Jiang family, but that everything he said makes sense.
A person without talent, courage, or courage is simply not qualified to be the future head of the Jiang family.
Even if there is such a thing in the family rules, after all, the law does not punish everyone, and the family will not be willing to let a useless waste lead the huge Jiang family.
Although the second elder could not openly disobey the clan rules, it could not be easier to do some tricks behind the scenes.
Jiang Fan naturally knew this well, so after Jiang Jie said these words, he not only did not show the slightest anger, but instead asked with a faint smile: "Haha, according to your wishes, I will How do I get the family’s approval?”
Jiang Fan tried to ask for directions by throwing stones and kicked the ball to Jiang Jie.
Only by obtaining information from the enemy's mouth can you understand what the other party is thinking.
Moreover, since the other party dares to provoke me, he can use this opportunity to establish his authority. In this way, if the second elder wants to touch him in the future, he will have to weigh the consequences.
Jiang Jie had a hint of joking at the corner of his mouth and sneered: "It's very simple. Throughout the ages, the strong have always been respected, and strength determines everything."
"In two months, the family competition will be held, and all the young children of the Jiang family will participate."
"But traditional martial arts battles are obviously not suitable for you. I suggest you try the Mirror of Judgment. If you can pass the test, let alone us younger generations, I think the elders will no longer have any objections. .”
Hearing this, the elders and deacons around him were stunned for a moment, and then they all exclaimed in surprise.
"Mirror of Judgment?"
"Could it be the cave that was banned by the family a hundred years ago?"
"I have heard from several deceased family elders that the Mirror of Judgment is dangerous and unpredictable. If you are not careful, your body will be wiped out. All the younger generations of my Jiang family died in it!"
Jiang Fan also frowned at this moment. As far as he knew, the Mirror of Judgment was a cave in the sky. From the beginning of the founding of the Jiang family, it was used as a trial ground for clan competitions. Only those who have experienced the test and successfully passed Only those who are qualified to become the young head of the Jiang family.
But since a hundred years ago, this rule has been changed to martial arts competitions.
As for the reason, it was because the younger generation of the clan at that time all died after entering the Mirror of Judgment, which led to the decline of the Jiang family, so it was changed to a martial arts competition.
And Jiang Jie suddenly asked him to go through the mirror of judgment. It was clear that he was going to be roasted on the fire. If he advanced, he would die, and if he retreated, he would be useless. It can be said that he is in a dilemma.
It has to be said that Jiang Jie is a man who is cunning and cunning, and has a very deep city, which is incomparable to ordinary people.
At this time, Jiang Xiaonan on the stage could not sit still. He quickly stood up and persuaded: "Fan'er, you must not be reckless in this matter. There are many dangers in the Mirror of Judgment. If you are not careful, you will be in danger of losing your life. In my opinion, it’s better to let this matter go.”
Jiang Xiaonan obviously cares more about the safety of his grandson than his power and status. He only has one close relative left in this world, Jiang Fan. If something happens to Jiang Fan again, then he will have nothing left to live in this world. What's the point?
When Jiang Fan heard this, his tone remained firm: "Grandpa, don't worry, I won't make fun of my own life."
After expressing his determination, Jiang Fan walked towards Jiang Jie.
"What, the young master doesn't dare?" Jiang Jie said sarcastically when he saw Jiang Fan walking towards him.
There were many dangers in the Mirror of Judgment. He had long expected that Jiang Fan would not dare to accept the appointment, so he designed such a situation.
"Don't you dare?" Jiang Fan sneered: "I just want to tell you, don't think that everyone is as stupid as you."
"I deserve the management rights of Tianyao Pavilion. According to the clan rules, there is no need for me to agree to your ridiculous bet. But since you want it, then I will satisfy you."
"However, in exchange for this ridiculous bet, you must also agree to my request."
Jiang Jie frowned slightly and asked with a hint of confusion: "What's the request?"
"It's simple."
Jiang Fan smiled lightly and said: "I will participate in the family martial arts competition, and I will still break through the Mirror of Judgment, but the premise is that you must break through the Mirror of Judgment with me, otherwise... no need to talk!"
As soon as Jiang Fan said this, Jiang Jie's originally joking smile suddenly froze on his face, and his whole face looked like it was eaten, which was extremely ugly.
Although his cultivation with half a foot in the Qi Refining Realm is enough to look down on the younger generation in the clan, the Mirror of Judgment is dangerous and unpredictable. A hundred years ago, a genius who reached the sixth level of Qi Refining died there. He wouldn't be stupid enough to die.
"Why, Master Jiang Jie doesn't dare?"
Seeing Jiang Jie's silence, Jiang Fan immediately mocked and said, "Oh, I thought the genius in the clan was so powerful, but in the end he was just a tortoise."
"Trash, who do you think is a coward?" As the son of the second elder, Jiang Jie was used to being arrogant. How could he endure Jiang Fan being so humiliated in front of everyone in the hall.
Suddenly, there was a "pop" sound.
Jiang Fan slapped him without any warning, and at the same time said with cold eyes: "What did you call me just now?"
"Trash, how dare you hit me!" Jiang Jie was stunned by this slap. After he reacted, he immediately became furious and pointed at Jiang Fan and roared.
"Pah, pah, pah" sounded several more times, Jiang Fan took action again, and slapped Jiang Jie hard several times.
Jiang Jie was stunned when he was slapped, while the second elder and the elders and disciples around him showed anger when they saw this scene.
"Jiang Fan, you have gone too far. You actually dare to beat up the core members of the family in public. I think you are simply lawless and flouting the family rules. Your crime will be increased! Come on, get this kid!"
The third elder in charge of the Discipline Hall stood up and shouted angrily.
At the same time, a force of spiritual power pressed down, trying to frighten Jiang Fan.
"presumptuous!"
Facing the pressure of the third elder, Jiang Fan not only showed no fear, but even shouted angrily.
"I am the young master of the Jiang family, and my status is the same as that of the chief elder. Even if the Discipline Hall wants to accuse me, it must be approved by the family master and the elders. You will be the one to decide!"
"What's more, it was Jiang Jie who insulted me first. According to the clan rules, how should we deal with this? Or is it that the chief of the Discipline Hall of our Jiang family only has one eye and no longer has the ability to distinguish what is wrong?"
The series of questions made the third elder look extremely embarrassed. Of course he knew the meaning of Jiang Fan's words. If he insisted on favoring Jiang Jie, he would definitely be notorious among the clan for bending the law for personal gain.
Thinking of this, the third elder could only hold back his anger and lowered his voice and said: "Jiang Jie and the following offended the young master and insulted the young master. According to the clan rules, he should... be punished with fifty sticks and be confined for three months."
"What!"
After hearing the words of the third elder, Jiang Jie's expression suddenly changed. According to the clan rules, he will be in confinement for three months, but in two months there will be a family competition. If he is unable to participate, wouldn't he directly miss the possibility of becoming the young family head?
After all, his previous plan with the second elder was to first evacuate Jiang Fan's power and gradually marginalize it. Later, he won the first place in the clan competition, accumulated prestige, and with the support of the Elders Council, he became the young master. Nature is at your fingertips.
But now, because of Jiang Fan's interference, the plan has been completely disrupted, and he has even been detained for three months. How can Jiang Jie be willing to accept this!
As if he had anticipated what Jiang Jie was thinking, Jiang Fan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a faint smile: "If you still want to participate in the family competition in two months, I advise you to think about what I said before. otherwise......"
Jiang Fan didn't say the next words clearly, but Jiang Jie's face instantly turned pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Damn Jiang Fan, he will be put on the back burner even if he dies!
Jiang Jie looked at Jiang Fan with sinister eyes, but he couldn't express the pain in his heart, so he could only cast his helpless eyes on the second elder sitting on his seat.
The entire meeting hall fell silent at this moment, and everyone's attention was focused on the second elder, wanting to know what decision he made.
After a moment, he exhaled a breath of turbid air, and the second elder's originally gloomy expression calmed down at this moment. He stood up, looked around at everyone, and then in a majestic tone with a hint of loneliness, he slowly said: "I think, It is necessary to change the process of this family competition."
"Since my Jiang family abolished the Judgment Mirror test a hundred years ago, although there is no shortage of geniuses in the younger generations of our family, they have never been able to give birth to truly strong men. I don't want to watch the Jiang family decline from generation to generation, so this The top eight in the martial arts competition of the sub-clan meeting will first be tested by the Mirror of Judgment, and then the first place will be determined. Whether Jiang Fan is really capable of serving as the young head of the family will wait until the Mirror of Judgment and the martial arts competition are over. , see for yourself!"
