Chapter 319: Clan Treasure
Jiang Wan's pretty face turned red from being humiliated, and she said unwillingly, "Ms. Murong, please be careful with your words."
Murong Jinran smiled wryly and said, "Did I mention the name? Why would anyone come forward to claim it?"
Jiang Wan: “…”
"Xiaofeng, let's go." Murong Jinran hooked Jiang Ci's arm affectionately, and the two of them walked away without looking back.
"What Murong clan? They're nothing but trash that are inferior to the Jiang clan!" Jiang Wan looked at the backs of the two men and stomped his feet in anger.
Nanny Zhang stared at her coldly.
Jiang Wan felt uncomfortable being stared at by her, and said with a guilty conscience: "Auntie Zhang, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Miss Wanwan, I have to remind you that although you are only the adopted daughter of the head of the family in name only, your every word and action represents the Jiang family. Don't use those petty tricks to embarrass the Jiang family."
Nanny Zhang deliberately emphasized the words "just the title of the head of the family" and "just a little trick".
Jiang Wan's face looked grim, and his arrogant attitude suddenly weakened a lot.
"Aunt Zhang... I, I just can't stand Murong Jinran's attitude."
"Then you should get used to it. In the Middle Thousand Worlds, the strong are respected!" Nanny Zhang's eyes were filled with obvious contempt. "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that Miss Wanwan will be attending Shanhai College soon. There are many children from the noble families in the Eastern Region. I would like to kindly remind you that instead of trying to win people over in various ways, you should learn more about Shanhai College, so as not to be despised to death after entering."
Jiang Wan's expression suddenly changed: "What? What Shanhai College? My godfather didn't tell me."
"Does the head of the family have to tell you personally for such a small matter?" Nanny Zhang's eyes were so straightforward that it seemed as if she was saying that she thought too highly of her status.
Jiang Wan pursed his lips and nodded: "Thank you for the reminder, Aunt Zhang. I will look for the information."
Murong Jinran alone made her feel so humiliated that she couldn't raise her head.
If an ordinary person like her went to Shanhai College, she would be despised by those children from aristocratic families, just as Nanny Zhang said.
In the world of ordinary people, she can become the center of attention with just a snap of her fingers.
Only when she got here did she realize how insignificant she was.
Jiang Wan secretly clenched his fists.
She must not bring shame to the Jiang Clan, she must become the best and make the Eastern Region, no, the entire Middle Thousand Worlds fall for her!
After Jiang Wan turned and left, Nanny Zhang spat fiercely at her back, "You lowly thing, if the master hadn't protected you, even a dog in the Jiang clan would look down on you. Do you really think you are the master?"
Main hall.
Jiang Ci and Murong Jinran were drinking tea leisurely. After about ten minutes, the head of the Jiang family finally appeared.
Jiang Ci keenly felt that there was still a faint fairy spirit lingering on his body.
The fairy spirit was very faint and disappeared in an instant.
But she was sure that the head of the Jiang family should have just come out of some forbidden secret place, and that place must be related to the immortals.
"Master Jiang, I'm here to pay off the gambling debt my father owes." Murong Jinran put the box on the table.
The head of the Jiang family did not rush to open the box. He just said meaningfully: "I am not forcing you to take away your family's treasure, but it was lost to me by your father in a bet, so I will respectfully obey your order."
He waved his hand.
The guard brought the box forward respectfully.
When the head of the Jiang family opened the lid and saw the statue with a severed hand inside, his face suddenly changed.
"What's this?"
"Where's the Soul-Catching Bell?"
Murong Jinran spoke nonsense in a serious tone, "This is the most precious treasure of my Murong clan, the Fallen God Statue."
The head of the Jiang family frowned and said, "That's not right. Everyone knows that the clan treasure of the Murong family is the Soul-Catching Bell. Didn't your ancestors make a name for themselves in the Eastern Region by relying on the Soul-Catching Bell?"
"Murong Jinran, you can't learn from your father's rogue behavior and fool me with just anything."
Murong Jinran smiled and said politely, "How can an outsider know all my family secrets?"
"The Soul-Catching Bell and the Fallen God Statue are simply incomparable. If my father hadn't lost, my clan would never have been able to produce it."
As she spoke, she looked heartbroken and said, "This is the real treasure of the clan! If it wasn't for breaking the contract and destroying one's heart, who would be willing to give away the real treasure of the clan for nothing?"
"Because he lost the family treasure, my dad is still being beaten by my grandfather at home."
"Master Jiang, if you don't want it, then I'll take it back?"
Murong Jinran put on a full show, showing an ecstatic expression, and ran forward to snatch the fallen god statue.
The head of the Jiang family called her: "Wait a moment."
"Since the Fallen Angel Statue is your clan's true treasure, you can take it back, provided you bring the Soul Capture Bell."
"The Soul-Catching Bell has the resentment of countless dead souls. I wonder why the Jiang family leader wants it?" Murong Jinran asked puzzledly: "The Soul-Catching Bell is a hot potato. Whoever gets it will be unlucky."
"But this fallen god statue is different. It is much more powerful than the Soul-Catching Bell and can be controlled."
The head of the Jiang family glanced casually at the statue of the broken hand, obviously not believing her words, "Really?"
"If Master Jiang doesn't believe it, just pick it up and take a look."
Under her instigation, the head of the Jiang family reluctantly took the statue with the broken hand out of the box.
He was originally very disdainful, thinking it was just an ordinary fallen god statue.
Unexpectedly, the moment he got it, he clearly felt that the statue with the broken hand was absorbing the luck of the guard.
There was a flash of shock in the eyes of the head of the Jiang family.
This is actually a fallen god statue that absorbs luck? !
No wonder the Murong clan kept this secret so secret. I’m afraid that apart from the people within their own family, few people know about it!
If it weren’t for the bet with the head of the Murong family this time, both of them had made a vow.
I'm afraid they don't know that such a good thing is hidden in the Murong clan.
but……
Is the Murong clan really willing to give away such a good fallen god statue?
The head of the Jiang family put the severed hand statue back into the box without changing his expression, and said indifferently: "Are you from the Murong clan really willing to part with it?"
"I'm afraid this fallen statue is not that simple, right?"
Murong Jinran nodded honestly and told Jiang Ci what he had learned: "To be honest, it is very difficult to completely control the Fallen God Statue. The Murong clan no longer has the ability to do so."
"As the saying goes, it is easier to invite a god than to send him away. Over the years, our clan has been unable to meet the demand for fallen god statues, which has led to the decline of the Murong clan's fortunes."
"If we keep it any longer, the Murong clan might be doomed."
"Of course, if Patriarch Jiang is also worried about the backlash of his luck and doesn't want the fallen statue, I can bring the Soul Capture Bell."
There was a flash of surprise in the eyes of the head of the Jiang family.
No wonder the Murong clan was willing to take it out; it turned out that their luck was backfired by the fallen statue.
