Chapter 389: Poaching
"Fallen statue?" The brother and sister were shocked.
The old patriarch said in shock: "Fallen God, as the name suggests, this statue was once a true god, and it became a demon after falling from grace. It has great lethality."
Murong Yun asked: "Compared to the Soul-Catching Bell, which one is stronger?"
"Of course it's the Fallen God Statue." The old patriarch looked at Jiang Ci hesitantly, "Master Jiang, this Fallen God Statue is too valuable. You should keep it for yourself and don't give it to the Jiang Clan."
The brother and sister also advised Jiang Ci not to take it out.
Jiang Ci smiled and said, "I'm just borrowing it. The Jiang Clan will return it soon."
The Jiang clan will then understand how it is easier to invite a god than to send him away.
The old patriarch looked at her, then at the broken-handed statue, and suddenly understood, "I understand now. Ranran, go and deliver the fallen statue to the Jiang clan and tell the head of the Jiang clan that the bet between your good-for-nothing father and him has been officially settled. If there are any problems in the future, don't look for us!"
Murong Jinran nodded.
"I'll go with you." Jiang Ci offered.
The two of them deliberately waited until the next day to go to the Jiang tribe.
It was still Nanny Zhang who opened the door. She took the two of them in and happened to meet Jiang Wan when passing by the garden.
At this moment, Jiang Wan is no longer the ordinary girl in the small world.
She had only been here for two days, and she was taken care of very well.
He had the best food, clothing and other necessities. He had scars on his face, but after eating the Jiang Clan's food for two days, the scars on his face faded a lot. He looked radiant and energetic.
"Auntie Zhang, who are these two?" Jiang Wan called out to them first.
Although Nanny Zhang couldn't stand Jiang Wan, a country bumpkin from a small world, she had to be respectful and maintain peace with him, "Miss Wanwan, these two are from the Murong clan. This one is Miss Jinran, and the other one is her personal bodyguard."
"Murong clan?" Jiang Wan had been here for two days and had learned something about the aristocratic families in the Eastern Region.
"Is it the Murong clan, which is ranked last among the top ten families in the Eastern Region?"
Murong Jinran said with a fake smile: "Yes, it's us. What can I do for you, Miss Wanwan?"
Jiang Wan covered her mouth and laughed softly, "Nothing, you are here to look for your godfather, right? Go quickly, as for your bodyguard, lend it to me for a while."
Murong Jinran had a bad first impression of Jiang Wan and subconsciously wanted to refuse.
Jiang Ci replied quickly: "Okay, Miss Ranran, then you go first, I'll come over later."
Murong Jinran understood and nodded.
After Aunt Zhang took Murong Jinran away, Jiang Wan's true colors were quickly revealed, and he kept showing off his superiority in front of Jiang Ci.
"Hey, you work as a bodyguard for Murong Jinran, how much does she pay you a month?"
"I think you look pretty good, how about you come to my place and I'll double the price for you?"
Jiang Ci looked at Jiang Wan's smug face through his sunglasses, curled his lips slightly, and said, "Why haven't I heard of a lady like you in the Jiang clan before?"
Jiang Wan said proudly, "That's because I used to live somewhere else and only recently returned to my family."
She meant somewhere else, not Small World.
Since coming here, Jiang Wan has never mentioned the small world once.
After seeing the prosperity and grandeur of the Middle Thousand Worlds, she deeply felt how backward and low the small world was.
She was too embarrassed to mention it.
Jiang Ci deliberately stabbed her heart, "I heard that the Jiang tribe brought a girl back from an ordinary small world. I wonder if it was you?"
Jiang Wan's expression suddenly changed. "How could an outsider like you know this? Who told you? A servant of the Jiang clan?"
Her aggressive demeanor made it seem as if she had already regarded herself as the real daughter of the Jiang clan.
"Ah, it really is you." Jiang Ci pretended to be surprised.
Jiang Wan blushed and retorted, "So what if it was me? I stayed in the small world because I had no choice. I have been taken back by my adoptive father now."
She had a guilty expression, as if she was afraid of being looked down upon.
"Are you willing to switch to my job?"
Jiang Ci asked back: "Since you are the adopted daughter of the Jiang family, you can have any outstanding bodyguard you want. Why do you want to poach him from others?"
"You don't understand." Jiang Wan gritted his teeth.
Although she is nominally the adopted daughter of the head of the Jiang family and the daughter of the Jiang clan.
But no one in this family respects her.
Although the servants always respectfully addressed her as Miss Wanwan, they were actually secretly laughing at her humble background behind her back.
Here, she has no friends, no one she can confide in.
If she wants, her adoptive father will give her someone, but they are all people sent by her adoptive father.
She wanted her own person, someone who was on her side.
She couldn't leave the Jiang clan these two days, so she could only set her sights on Murong Jinran's men.
Anyway, she believes that as long as you have money, there is no one you can't buy.
What's more, he is just a bodyguard.
"Don't worry, I will never let you suffer any loss if you follow me." Jiang Wan raised his chin slightly, "How about it, do you agree?"
Jiang Ci pretended to be distressed, "Let me think about it again."
Jiang Wan said angrily, "Why are you so stubborn? What good will it be for you to follow Murong Jinran?"
"I heard that the Murong family is at the bottom of the ten great families, and the other nine families don't want to play with them. The Jiang family is now the top of the ten great families. Even an idiot knows which one to choose for his future."
"Oh?" A sudden voice interrupted Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wanhou felt a chill down her spine. She turned around and saw Murong Jinran standing behind her, staring at her coldly.
"Ms. Murong, did you hear everything?"
"It doesn't matter if you hear it. It's something everyone in the Eastern Region knows anyway."
Jiang Wan tried hard to show the aura of a wealthy daughter in an attempt to suppress Murong Jinran.
But her little tricks are nothing compared to the real daughter of a rich family.
Murong Jinran simply said, "It seems that Patriarch Jiang doesn't think much of your adopted daughter. I'll help you intercede for him and ask him to assign you a few more bodyguards, so that you won't be jealous of my bodyguards and dare to steal my men in front of me."
Jiang Wan panicked when he heard this, and hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, Miss Murong, you misunderstood me. I was just joking with your bodyguard."
If her adoptive father knew about this, even if he didn't say it out loud, he would definitely be suspicious of her.
"Are you kidding? That doesn't seem like it." Murong Jinran said calmly, "The Jiang family, one of the top ten noble families, can't even afford to hire bodyguards?"
"It's okay. Tell me. I know someone who can introduce some excellent bodyguards to your Jiang Clan."
The more she said this, the more flustered Jiang Wan became. Her eyes turned red with anxiety. "Ms. Murong, I was just joking. Don't take it to heart."
Murong Jinran then snorted and said to Jiang Ci in a gentle tone: "Master Jiang hasn't come back yet, Xiaofeng, let's go to the front hall and wait for a while."
She paused, and then sneered, "As for those who are irrelevant and not presentable, we don't need to waste time talking to them."
