Zhu Yan handed the child to Elder Jiang and smiled again, "That's great! Little Xuan'er has another little sister-in-law. If her father knew about this, he would be very happy too!"
The little girl came into Jiang Lao's arms, still looking at Ruan Qiao curiously, and called sweetly, "Hello, little sister-in-law!"
Although Ruan Qiao felt that Zhu Yan was weird and it was hard for her to have a good impression of him, she still had no ill feelings towards the child.
So she rummaged through Shennong's Herb Garden for a while and took out an ancient spiritual jade.
This ancient spiritual jade is not big, about the size of an egg, and has grown into the shape of a little rabbit.
Ruan Qiao gave it to the little girl as a gift, and the little girl really liked it.
"Thank you, little nun!" The little girl thanked her happily.
"Ancient spiritual jade, girl, you are so generous!" Old Jiang said in surprise.
"Isn't this the eldest brother's child? Not an outsider." Ruan Qiao said with a smile.
Zhu Yan said excitedly, "Junior Sister, I thank you on behalf of my child. This ancient spiritual jade is extremely precious. Giving it to Xiao Xuan'er is truly a blessing she has cultivated in her previous life."
Ruan Qiao frowned slightly.
Zhu Yan continued, "Junior Sister, you're new here, so you might not be familiar with Jiang Sect yet, right? Master is old, and Third Junior Brother has difficulty walking, so why don't I take you there to get acquainted with Jiang Sect."
As she spoke, she reached out to pull Ruan Qiao.
Ruan Qiao narrowed her eyes slightly but did not refuse.
She said to Jiang Lao and Mo Jinyao, "Master, Third Senior Brother, I'm going out for a walk with this sister-in-law."
Elder Jiang held Xiao Xuan'er in his arms and waved his hand helplessly, "Go, go!"
Mo Jinyao frowned and said nothing.
After Ruan Qiao and Zhu Yan left, Old Jiang wanted to say something to Mo Jinyao, but because Xiao Xuan'er was there, he said nothing and just sighed.
Mo Jinyao was blunt: "I really don't understand why Senior Brother fell in love with such a woman back then. If it weren't for Xiao Xuan'er looking so much like Senior Brother..."
"Jinyao, please be quiet in front of the children."
Old Jiang interrupted Mo Jinyao.
Mo Jinyao stopped talking and silently glanced at Xiao Xuan'er's face before falling into silence.
"Jinyao, don't overthink it. The people who killed your senior brother and second senior sister, and the people who harmed your legs, are all after our Jiang Sect's most precious treasure. But how could they know that even I, the Sect Master, don't know if the Jiang Sect actually has a treasure!"
Old Jiang showed a bitter smile. If he really knew that the Jiang family had a treasure, how could he watch several disciples being killed?
Zhu Yan led Ruan Qiao to walk around in Jiangmen. She spoke in a coquettish and charming manner, and her behavior was artificial, making it difficult for people to have a good impression of her.
She had delicate makeup on her face and her lips were red.
The floral dress she was wearing highlighted her slender figure, and she twisted her body as she walked.
Ruan Qiao's mouth twitched. This woman was so vulgar.
"Junior Sister, our Jiang Sect is saved with your arrival. You don't know how many people are waiting outside to see our Jiang Sect's joke."
"What do you mean?" Ruan Qiao asked.
Zhu Yan sighed and looked ahead with resentful eyes, "Our Jiang Clan is very famous. In Tianyu City, all the noble families have to be polite to the Jiang Clan.
But ever since Ming Hui and his fellow junior sisters and brothers met with accidents one after another, the Jiang Clan has been getting worse day by day.
Now that I have my little junior sister, when Master passes on the Jiang Sect's treasure to you, our Jiang Sect will be able to prosper again."
Ruan Qiao narrowed her eyes and stared at Zhu Yan, "Does the Jiang family really have a treasure? What is it?" Ruan Qiao asked.
Zhu Yan was surprised: "Master didn't tell you, Junior Sister?"
She quickly realized, "Indeed, Minghui and the others were killed because of the Jiang Clan's treasure. Master probably didn't tell you about the Jiang Clan's treasure in order to protect Junior Sister."
"Maybe." Ruan Qiao said cryptically.
Zhu Yan no longer mentioned the Jiang family's treasure, but instead mentioned the matter of the closed disciple.
She sighed and said, "Master has always wanted to take in a closed disciple. With this little junior sister, Master has finally got his wish. However, those noble sons and daughters from the major families are all disappointed."
"Oh? Really? Why do those people want to join the Jiang Clan? Is it also because of the Jiang Clan's treasure?" Ruan Qiao asked.
Zhu Yan shook his head: "Some are, some aren't. Maybe there are people among them who really love the Jiang Clan's heritage."
Ruan Qiao nodded and took the initiative to bring up the topic, "Sister-in-law, tell me about you and my senior brother."
"There's nothing much to say about what happened between Minghui and me. It makes me sad just talking about it." Zhu Yan looked resentful.
Ruan Qiao smiled faintly and asked, "Xiao Xuan'er is six years old this year, right?"
Zhu Yan said, "Almost seven years old."
Ruan Qiao asked again, "So, you and my senior brother knew each other seven years ago. At that time, my sister-in-law was only in her twenties, but my senior brother was in his forties."
If Jiang Lao's eldest disciple Xiao Minghui were still alive, he would be at least in his early fifties this year.
"There's such a big age gap between you two, how did my sister-in-law fall in love with my senior brother?" Ruan Qiao asked.
Zhu Yan's face flushed red. She covered her lips with her hands and smiled, saying, "Junior Sister, you haven't seen Ming Hui's appearance, right?"
As she spoke, she took out her cell phone and found a group photo from the album.
The man in the photo is handsome and has a pair of calm and peaceful eyes.
His eyes revealed a deep and penetrating look, like the purest spring water, seemingly clear to the bottom, yet seemingly bottomless.
He exudes an aura of transcendence that makes people feel that he is something they can only admire from afar but cannot reach.
