Chapter 385 Gambling
Murong Jinran said worriedly, "Grandpa, I'm afraid my brother can't handle it alone. He has a bad temper. I'd better go with him to take a look."
The old patriarch looked at Jiang Ci hesitantly, wanting to say something.
Jiang Ci said directly: "I will go with you."
The old patriarch waved his hands hastily: "No, no, no, Master Jiang, that's not what I meant. I want to ask you to tell my son's fortune. Can he turn the bad luck into good luck this time?"
Jiang Ci just counted casually with his fingers, "No evil, the Jiang clan probably detained your son for some other purpose, Jinran and I will go and take a look first."
The old patriarch said worriedly: "But you..."
"Is there a dressing room? I want to change my appearance."
When Murong Jinran heard this, he immediately and enthusiastically took her to his dressing room.
After Jiang Ci fiddled with it for a while and came out, the grandfather and grandson's eyes lit up.
Before, she had always worn plain, light-colored clothes, looking gentle and peaceful.
Now she was wearing a black outfit, a cool high ponytail, and a pair of sunglasses. Her face was cold and she looked like an emotionless killer.
"After I get out, I will be Miss Jinran's personal bodyguard." Jiang Ci said with a smile.
Murong Jinran was surprised and asked, "Bodyguard? Is this appropriate?"
The old patriarch realized that Jiang Ci was just going to the Jiang clan to spy on them, so he temporarily disguised his identity.
"Of course, just follow Master Jiang's arrangements."
Murong Jinran nodded obediently: "Master Jiang, how should I call you after we get out?"
"Just call me Xiaofeng."
Then, Murong Jinran took out the teleportation talisman.
The moment the teleportation talisman burned, the two were teleported away.
The old patriarch breathed a sigh of relief: "With Master Jiang here, my son will definitely be fine. I'd better go investigate the Jiang family's background and don't let Master Jiang down!"
at the same time.
At the gate of the Jiang clan.
Murong Yun put his hands on his waist and cursed: "Master Jiang, if you have the guts to arrest someone, you have the guts to open the door! Don't hide in there and keep silent, I know you are at home!"
"My dad came to your house for a meeting. Why did you detain him?"
"Open the door! Open the door!"
"If you don't open the door, I'll blow up your house!"
He cursed, but the door of Jiang's house remained closed.
The gates of aristocratic families are all restricted. Murong Yun had exhausted all his spiritual power but was unable to get in. He could only curse in frustration and anger outside.
Until Jiang Ci and Murong Jinran arrived.
Murong Yun said hurriedly, "Little sister, you came at the right time. Go on scolding me. I am so thirsty from scolding you. I will go buy a bottle of water and continue scolding you later."
Murong Jinran: "..."
"Brother, why don't you go in? Are the Jiang people so rude?"
Murong Yun got angry when he mentioned this: "They opened the gate, and I can't get in at all. I've been cursing for so long, but no one came out."
Hearing about the gate restriction, Murong Jinran's face changed, "Even the gate restriction is opened? I'm afraid something big is going to happen."
Jiang Ci casually glanced at the Jiang family's gate, which was as majestic and magnificent as the gate to heaven.
She saw with her naked eyes faint streams of light lingering on the gate.
That is a kind of prohibition.
Only immortals can cast this kind of restriction.
Jiang Ci raised his eyebrows slightly, walked forward and was about to take a closer look to see who had done it.
The stream of light suddenly faded and disappeared, the door slowly opened, and a lady with noble airs walked out.
"Nanny Zhang!" Murong Jinran recognized the woman at a glance and said angrily, "What do you mean by the Jiang clan holding my father hostage?"
Nanny Zhang's chin almost lifted to the sky, and she snorted, "What do you mean by arresting your father? Which eye of yours saw our Jiang Clan arresting anyone?"
"It's obviously your father who wants to stay as a guest of the Jiang Clan."
"If you haven't detained anyone and you have no guilty conscience, why are you closing the door?" Murong Yun shouted hoarsely.
Nanny Zhang was calmer: "Oh, that's because the family owner's adopted daughter came back today. It was her first time to come to the Jiang Clan, and the family owner was afraid that she would get lost, so he opened the ban to prevent the young lady from having any accidents."
"It has nothing to do with your father. It's such a great honor that the Jiang Clan should open the ban for your father."
Jiang Ci seemed to be thinking about something. It seemed that Jiang Wan had already arrived at the Jiang clan safely and was valued by the head of the Jiang clan. She became an adopted daughter as soon as she arrived.
Murong Yun was furious, "Either let my dad out, or I go in and find him myself!"
Nanny Zhang said calmly, "I came to open the door to let you in. Please come in, Master Murong."
Murong Yun hurried inside.
Murong Jinran followed.
Jiang Ci also followed.
When the three of them arrived at the main hall, they saw Patriarch Murong and Patriarch Jiang sitting there playing chess and chatting and laughing, not looking trapped at all.
Seeing this scene, the brother and sister were stunned.
Murong Yun frowned: "Dad, didn't you send someone to tell your family that you were detained by the Jiang clan?"
"Why don't I look like that?"
The head of the Murong family glared at his outspoken son and smiled: "Who is so unreliable that he passed on the wrong message? I said I would play in the Jiang clan for two days and would not go home for the time being."
"Play?" Murong Yun's face darkened: "Dad, do you know how many things have happened at home? You still have time to play in other people's homes. Do you know how to shoot——"
Jiang Ci coughed suddenly, "Cough!"
She interrupted Murong Yun's speech.
Murong Jinran reacted quickly and took over the conversation, "Dad, I have brought grandpa back from the small world. He is not in good health. You should go back and see him."
Murong Yun looked at his younger sister in surprise. Grandpa's health had already been cured by Master Jiang. Could it be that he was getting worse again?
When he wanted to ask something, he saw the little sister winking at him, as if to tell him to shut up.
"Dad, let's go." Murong Jinran said as he was about to step forward to pull people.
The head of the Jiang family held the black chess piece in his hand, and without even looking at the father and daughter, he only stared at the chessboard and said coldly, "This game hasn't been decided yet, and Brother Murong is leaving like this. Isn't that inappropriate?"
Patriarch Murong let go of his daughter's hand and sat back in his chair. "Patriarch Jiang is right. I can't leave until I win the game."
Murong Jinran noticed something was wrong, and suddenly thought of something, and shouted, "Dad, you're not gambling again, are you?"
The head of the Murong family had a look of guilt on his face.
Seeing that their father didn't say anything, the brother and sister immediately understood.
Children know best what kind of person their father is.
Their father is a good person, except for one bad thing: he loves gambling.
Gambling on stones, talismans, and magical instruments, as long as it is related to spiritual practice, my father will take it to gamble.
I got beaten by my grandfather many times for this, but I just can't change my ways.
"Dad! What did you lose again?" Murong Jinran was angry and anxious.
The head of the Murong family lowered his head and did not dare to look at his daughter's face. He smiled awkwardly and said, "It's nothing. Hey, if you have time to preach, why don't you help dad figure out how to win this chess game?"
"As long as you win this game of chess, I, your dad, can go home first."
