Jiang Deng raised an eyebrow. "What's the rush? I won't be able to come back to visit my family for a long time after I leave the sect. Shouldn't I let the mother and daughter say goodbye first?"
"Jiang Deng...you!"
Feng Jiuyou was so angry that veins on his forehead were throbbing.
Looking at Jiang Deng who always opposed him, he couldn't help but miss Senior Ye Guchen whom he met in the mine. The senior's demeanor was deeply engraved in his mind. This mortal woman was not even worthy of carrying the senior's shoes!
Not only Feng Jiuyou was angry, but Jiang Yuanyi on the side couldn't help but cast a hateful look at Jiang Deng.
Jiang Deng chuckled and said in a mean way, "Brother, don't just look at me. You should go and say goodbye to your parents quickly, otherwise this departure might be a farewell forever."
"I, your elder brother, am very magnanimous and won't bother with you." Jiang Yuanyi clenched his fists, and these words were almost squeezed out from between his teeth.
Jiang Deng is a useless spiritual root that no one cares about, but he has three spiritual roots with good qualifications. His future achievements will definitely be higher than Jiang Deng. As long as he endures it now, sooner or later he will step on Jiang Deng under his feet!
The two stood there and waited for a long time.
Until Jiang Zhiling came back after saying goodbye to Jiang Lingyun. Her eyes were red at this time, and she looked like a little fox who was kicked out of the house just after becoming an adult and was about to start her own life. She looked pitiful.
Jiang Deng reached out and patted Jiang Zhiling's shoulder, "Don't worry, I'll be with you from now on."
"Hmm..." Jiang Zhiling burst into laughter.
In this way, the four of them embarked on their journey to the Taichu Sword Sect.
——
That night, at Jiang Mansion.
Huang Ping returned to the room reeking of alcohol. Seeing Jiang Lingyun fast asleep on the bed, he immediately flew into a rage. "Hey! I haven't eaten yet. Hurry and heat up some food for me!"
He pushed Jiang Lingyun's shoulders several times, but the other party did not respond. Huang Ping felt strange and subconsciously leaned over. Jiang Lingyun on the bed suddenly turned around very quickly, grasped the dagger and stabbed it into his heart.
In the darkness, Jiang Lingyun sat on the bed, her eyes frighteningly bright, without any trace of her previous wooden expression.
Huang Ping opened his eyes wide, "How dare you..."
He had never expected that Jiang Lingyun, who had always let him beat and scold her, would actually have the guts to stab him with a knife? After a brief moment of confusion, he was insanely angry and raised his hand to slap Jiang Lingyun.
However, before his slap landed, Jiang Lingyun suddenly pulled out the dagger, and Huang Ping fell heavily to the ground, blood flowing along the ground...
"Someone come here!" Jiang Lingyun shouted coldly.
After a while, someone pushed open the door. It was three guards from the Jiang Mansion, two men and one woman. They looked at the corpse on the ground without any surprise on their faces.
"Drag him down and bury him."
"yes."
Two male guards dragged Huang Ping's body out, their expressions remaining unchanged from beginning to end.
Jiang Lingyun raised her eyes and looked at the female guard in the room, Ye Hong.
Ye Hong is her confidante. They grew up together and practiced martial arts together. His loyalty to her is self-evident. He even remained single for her and has now become the deputy leader of the guards.
Tonight, he obeyed her orders, killed the housekeeper who was loyal to Jiang Chongliang, and took over all the guards in the Jiang Mansion!
It was worth her long planning, she finally succeeded...
Jiang Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief. "How's Jiang Chongliang doing?"
Ye Hong replied, "It's already been caught."
"Let's go and take a look."
Jiang Lingyun put on her coat and followed Ye Hong to the open space of the Jiang Mansion. All the guards of the Jiang Mansion were gathered here. They all held torches, and the entire Jiang Mansion was brightly lit, as bright as day.
"How dare you arrest me! I'm the head of the Jiang family! This is outrageous!"
Jiang Chongliang, Wang and Jiang Yuanbao, a family of three, were dragged out of their beds, wearing only thin undershirts, and shivering in the cold wind.
Wang was also furious and said, "You ungrateful bastards! The master pays you every month and treats you well, yet you actually rebel!"
"Bah! How dare you say that!"
The guards couldn't help but spit at Jiang Chongliang and Wang. Did they treat them well? On weekdays, the master and Wang often found excuses to deduct their monthly wages. The housekeeper was no different from the master and them, often delaying their monthly wages without reason. Some of the brothers' wives and children even starved to death because of this!
Everyone stared at Jiang Chongliang and his family coldly until they saw Jiang Lingyun approaching from a distance and the crowd automatically dispersed.
Jiang Lingyun walked up to Jiang Chongliang and said condescendingly, "Jiang Chongliang, you've been bullying the Jiang family for years and have long lost their support. Now you've given the Jiang family's assets away to the Taichu Sword Sect for free and spent a lot of money entertaining the Immortal Master. This has already infringed upon the interests of the Jiang family members, and they have dismissed you from your position as Patriarch. From now on, you are no longer the Patriarch of the Jiang family. I am the Patriarch of the Jiang family!"
Jiang Chongliang's eyes widened immediately. "No! Impossible! You're just a woman, how could anyone support you as the head of the family?"
Jiang Lingyun sneered, "If my sister can be the head of the family, why can't I? What's more, interests are the eternal truth. If I provide enough benefits to the clan members, they will naturally side with me."
Jiang Chongliang was about to say something else, but Jiang Lingyun was too lazy to listen. "Since you were a beggar before, you might as well be a beggar again now. Come on! Break his limbs and throw his whole family out into the street!"
"yes!"
Immediately, two strong guards rushed forward and broke Jiang Chongliang's hands and feet. The screams echoed over the Jiang Mansion.
Seeing that Jiang Lingyun was serious, Wang was completely frightened and huddled aside, hugging Jiang Yuanbao and trembling.
As they watched, Jiang Chongliang's hands and feet were broken. Although Wang and Jiang Yuanbao did not suffer physical torture, they were driven out of the Jiang Mansion wearing only thin clothes.
"Meet the Patriarch!"
Everyone in the Jiang Mansion bowed to Jiang Lingyun, and some even couldn't help shedding tears. It was obvious that Jiang Lingyun was what everyone wanted to be the head of the family.
Jiang Lingyun nodded lightly and asked them to stand up. "Okay, let's go."
Ye Hong came over and asked, "Master, is there anything else you want to ask?"
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Jiang Lingyun's eyes. "Follow Jiang Chongliang closely and find an opportunity to kill him in three days."
Although she became the head of the family with the help of the clan's power, she was also closely watched by the clan members.
Now, although she could kill Jiang Chongliang directly, she would be controlled by the clan, and she would be restricted as the head of the family in the future. It would be better for her to take it step by step, clean up the Jiang family bit by bit, and give Jiang Deng a clean Jiang family.
"Yes!" Ye Hong flashed out of Jiang's house.
Jiang Lingyun looked at the dark night sky and suddenly felt a little lonely at the top. She sighed softly.
"I don't know how Deng'er and Zhiling are doing now..."
