However, Jiang Yuan didn't reply for a few seconds, and Sikong Miao immediately popped up a video request.
"A diss from the other party's best friend?" Jiang Yuan's lips curled into a smirk. This kind of righteous judgment from the woman's best friend is something almost every man has to go through; it's an old tradition.
One video request wasn't enough, so Sikong Miao dialed several in a row. If Tianqi Network hadn't lacked an IP lookup function, he would have suspected that Sikong Miao might come over through the network cable and chop him up.
"Take it!"
Jiang Yuan opened the video. The two looked at each other, but one was very calm, while the other was about to burst out with anger.
"Jiang Yuan, you irresponsible bastard, you just left like that?" Si Kong Miao pointed at the video and cursed.
Jiang Yuan frowned slightly, and decided to remain silent to let Sikong Miao vent her anger.
"Do you know how worried Tan'er has been about you these past few days? She even escaped from her confinement to look for you. Every time she couldn't find you, she could only secretly shed tears at home. And you, you bastard, didn't even reply to a single message. Are you even human?"
"Someone like you who only knows how to run away, you don't deserve Tan'er's sacrifices!"
"I don't know if Mi Tan'er is blind or what, how could she..."
"Have you finished cursing?" Jiang Yuan finally spoke his first words after listening for almost several minutes.
"I haven't cursed you enough! If you have the guts, give me your address. Today I'm not only going to curse you, I'm going to beat you up! I'm not Sikong Miao if I don't teach you a lesson!" Sikong Miao said indignantly.
"Pointing fingers at people like this, is this the kind of upbringing your thousand-year-old family has?" Jiang Yuan asked without any joy or sorrow.
“What kind of upbringing do you need from a coward like you who only knows how to run away!” Sikong Miao retorted sharply.
Jiang Yuan fell silent after those words, a look of utter dejection naturally creeping onto his face. He gave a self-deprecating laugh and said, "Yes, I'm a coward who only knows how to run away. Are you satisfied now? Don't bother me. I have things to do and don't have time to waste on you high and mighty young ladies!"
With that, Jiang Yuan hung up the video call. The moment he hung up, his expression remained unchanged, showing no sign of dejection. Life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills. If Sikong Miao is pretending with him, then it's just a matter of seeing who gets more into the role.
"three!"
"two!"
"one!"
Jiang Yuan's gaze fell on the smart device. Just as he had expected, the video call that had been disconnected lit up again after three seconds of silence.
"Sikong Miao, do you think you can help Mi Tan'er?" Jiang Yuan's expression turned cold. In fact, from the moment he appeared in front of the two of them in this identity, Mi Tan'er and Sikong Miao were destined to lose.
To create an atmosphere of not wanting to answer, Jiang Yuan deliberately left the video request hanging for seven or eight seconds before finally answering it at the last second.
"Is there anything else?" Jiang Yuan asked, clearly displeased.
"What, you can't stand being scolded a few times? With your temperament, how could I entrust Tan'er to you with peace of mind!"
This time, Sikong Miao's tone changed a lot. Although it still carried a hint of hostility, it no longer contained the anger she had shown before.
"I can't stand it? Have you seen my efforts! You big shots who have everything handed to you can completely deny my contributions with just a few words. Are you used to being high and mighty and think that you are the only ones who have the right to criticize others!" Jiang Yuan became emotional, and after speaking, he let out a long sigh and said, "Yes, this is the consistent principle of your aristocratic families. You are like this, and the Fuxi clan is like this too!"
Sikong Miao frowned slightly, but this time she unusually remained silent.
"If it weren't for Tan'er, I would never have associated with people like you in my entire life!" Jiang Yuan's eyes revealed a trace of sorrow, so genuine that it moved everyone who saw it.
"You really like Tan'er?" Sikong Miao couldn't help but doubt when she saw Jiang Yuan's genuine feelings.
Jiang Yuan shook his head and scoffed, "I don't want to answer such a meaningless question. Anyway, the answer is just a joke in your eyes!"
After that, the two fell into a long silence. Finally, Sikong Miao loosened her bitten lips and said gently, "Okay, I believe you. Where are you now? I'll come find you!"
"What do you want from me?" Jiang Yuan asked back.
"Tan'er is my best friend, and I want her to be happy. If you truly love her, I can help you!" Sikong Miao said with utmost seriousness.
"No need. I will earn the recognition of the Fuxi clan through my own abilities, and then Tan'er will come with me without any difficulties!" Jiang Yuan said stubbornly, looking like an immature boy who was determined to protect himself.
Sikong Miao's heart trembled. Seeing Jiang Yuan like this, she felt a pang of bitterness. She had lost to Mi Tan'er in everything since childhood, and now she was even losing in love, where they were on equal footing.
It took Sikong Miao a while to come to her senses. She asked, "You? What ability do you have?"
“Why not? I’ll go and collect the fortune of the Nine Provinces. As long as I gain the recognition of the entire Nine Provinces, I will definitely be able to gain the approval of Tan’er’s family.” Jiang Yuan revealed his purpose.
"Oh!"
As expected, Sikong Miao's expression turned sarcastic. She coldly said, "You have gained the recognition of the Nine Provinces' fortune, but do you know where the Nine Provinces' fortune appears? Do you know how to subdue the Nine Provinces' fortune?"
"I..." Jiang Yuan was about to blurt it out, but he immediately looked around warily, and then whispered, "I have already encountered a wisp of the Nine Provinces' fortune. I believe that as long as I persevere, I will definitely be able to make the Nine Provinces' fortune submit to me!"
"Really?" Sikong Miao's face was full of disbelief.
"You are Tan'er's good friend, so naturally you are my friend. How could I lie to you!" Jiang Yuan said sincerely.
Sikong Miao was somewhat tempted, and she tentatively asked, "Turn the video around so I can see where this is."
