Chapter 6
After a long time, Jiang Mingyan raised his head.
After a good cry, his mood was obviously much better.
Ever since I learned of the death of my parents, the huge rock that had been piling up in my heart seemed to melt silently as my tears flowed.
He touched the chubby and soft face of the little cub in his arms, and was bewitched by the delicate and soft touch. He couldn't help but take a light bite.
Mm, it’s the same milky flavor as I remember.
A smile appeared in Jiang Mingyan's eyes.
"Ah?" The little guy tilted his head, and his hair shook with the movement, which was extremely cute.
Jiang Mingyan's force was so light that not even a tooth mark was left, so the little guy just made a puzzled little sound and put the matter behind him.
"Ah..." He stretched out his claws and pointed at the bamboo green black snake that was pierced by the sword and was no longer moving, his round black eyes full of anticipation.
Jiang Mingyan sighed and explained to the little guy in a gentle voice: "You can't play with this. From now on, if you see it, you must stay away from it, otherwise it will bite you."
When Jiang Mingyan thought of this possibility, he felt a tightness in his throat and his voice became tense: "If Sui Sui is bitten, I may never see my brother again. My brother will be very sad..."
When the little guy heard that he would never see his brother again, he immediately hugged Jiang Mingyan's neck tightly, not even looking over there, and babbled in refusal: "No... Hehe, brother no... no..."
Jiang Mingyan stroked the little fellow's back soothingly: "Don't be afraid of Sui Sui. Look, is it pinned down by Yuan Su now?"
"Next time you see it, Sui Sui, just call it brother and don't get close to it, okay? Brother will protect Sui Sui."
The little guy nodded quickly.
Jiang Mingyan chuckled, patted the little chubby face, and then put the little guy on the crib.
"Sui Sui's clothes are wet. Go get some clean clothes for Sui Sui to change into."
"ah!"
"Okay."
“Ah~”
Jiang Mingyan smiled and repeated: "Okay——"
“Ah~”
After changing the clothes of the fat cub who was still crying, Jiang Mingyan walked to the bamboo green black snake and drew out his black sword only after making sure that the bamboo green black snake was really dead.
He first checked the sword and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the blade was intact.
This long sword is named Yuansu, and it was a birthday gift from Yun Zhaoming to Jiang Mingyan for his ninth birthday.
The Yuansu Sword is completely black, with low-key and complex cloud patterns lingering around the hilt, like a silent, staring abyss, wrapped in a sharp and cold edge.
As soon as Jiang Mingyan saw the long sword, he felt a sense of familiarity. Sometimes, he always felt that he had seen the Yuansu Sword before.
At that time, the Yuansu Sword did not seem to be what it is today. Instead, it was gorgeous, radiant, and as bright as the sun...
The Yuan Su Sword seemed to be in tune with his thoughts. Even though his spiritual roots were broken and his cultivation level dropped, the tacit understanding between the man and the sword was not diminished in the slightest.
Just now, Jiang Mingyan took out the Yuansu Sword from the Lan Qiuying bracelet and pierced the Bamboo Green Black Line Snake through its seven inches with a decisiveness and calmness that he himself had not expected.
When he reaches the foundation-building stage, he will be able to refine the Yuansu Sword into his own spiritual weapon and store it in his dantian.
When Jiang Mingyan put the Yuansu sword back into the Lan Qiuying bracelet, his thoughts couldn't help but wander.
But soon, he pulled back his scattered thoughts and looked at the bamboo green black snake that was no longer making any sound on the ground.
Jiang Mingyan's eyes turned cold.
This bamboo green black-lined snake has only one black line on its body and is a first-grade spiritual beast.
But no matter what grade of spirit beast it is, as long as it appears in Jiang Mansion, it must have an owner.
The spirit beast with an owner did not stay in the spirit beast bag, but instead appeared in their home and showed a desire to attack Sui Sui...
There was murderous intent in Jiang Mingyan's phoenix eyes.
He picked up the bamboo green black snake, prepared to peel off its skin and bones, and make it into meat paste for Sui Sui to eat.
After all, it is a spiritual beast, and its meat contains spiritual energy.
Jiang Mingyan thought coldly.
But just as he picked up the bamboo green black snake, the courtyard door was kicked open by someone.
Several Jiang family members rushed in with a large group of servants.
"Jiang Mingyan, have you seen my--" The slightly fat boy who started to speak had not finished his words when he saw the lifeless bamboo green black-lined snake in Jiang Mingyan's hand. He immediately stopped talking like a duck with its neck strangled.
"You..." He pointed at Jiang Mingyan, his fingers trembling with anger: "How dare you..."
Jiang Mingyan recognized that these Jiang family members were the ones who often wandered outside the courtyard and mocked him loudly, and the slightly fat boy who was leading the way had a particularly familiar rough voice.
New and old hatreds surged in his heart, and Jiang Mingyan sneered: "This snake wants to attack Sui Sui, so I naturally can't keep this hidden danger."
"You, you..." The slightly fat boy was so distressed that he couldn't utter a complete sentence.
This bamboo green black-lined snake was a first-grade spiritual beast he had begged his father to buy from Caibao Hall! Although its strength was only equivalent to that of a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi training, any cultivator who hadn't reached the foundation-building stage would be in trouble under its jaws!
Moreover, the Bamboo Green Black-Lined Snake can continue to grow its cultivation, and when it becomes a second-grade spirit beast, a third-grade spirit beast...
Thinking of this, the slightly fat boy felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
But he was busy worrying about his bamboo green black snake, and the other Jiang family members were still awake and looked at each other in confusion.
When the slightly fat boy released the bamboo green black-lined snake from the spirit beast bag with a malicious look on his face, they were watching from the side and cheering for the bamboo green black-lined snake to show no mercy and to poison the kid in the yard to death with one bite.
When they broke in, they were full of gloating, looking forward to seeing the former genius of the Jiang family crying and heartbroken in a ridiculous manner.
But who would have thought that the one that died was not the chubby little kid, but the bamboo green black snake!
The little brat was sitting on the crib leisurely swinging his fat feet!
How is that possible?
How did Jiang Mingyan do it?
Some sharp-eyed members of the Jiang family had already seen the sword wound on the Bamboo Green Black Snake's upper body where the nail had pierced through it. Even if they didn't want to admit it, they had to admit that it was indeed Jiang Mingyan who did it.
How did he do it?
Ever since the slightly fat boy got this bamboo green black snake, he has been showing off in front of them.
They had all witnessed the power of the Bamboo Green Black Snake. Apart from the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, even Jiang Ruheng, the most respected person of their generation, had only managed to win by the narrow margin by relying on his spiritual weapon.
However, Jiang Mingyan, who had long been regarded as a waste by them, was able to deliver a fatal blow.
They couldn't help but feel a little fearful and wanted to retreat.
But they wanted to leave, but the slightly fat boy who had lost his spirit beast was unwilling to let Jiang Mingyan go so easily.
He looked at Jiang Mingyan and said angrily, "You killed my Bamboo Green Black Snake, you must compensate me with an identical one."
Jiang Mingyan ignored it.
The slightly chubby boy continued with malice, "You are indeed your father's offspring, just as heartless and ungrateful! The Jiang family raised you and provided you with cultivation resources, yet you are all ungrateful wolves, with no thought of repaying the Jiang family! Your father didn't listen to your uncle's orders, and he deserved to die! You dared to kill my spirit beast, I want to see what will happen to you!"
"Jiang Ruke!" Jiang Mingyan immediately stopped him sternly when he heard him mention his father.
"What? Are you feeling guilty?" Jiang Ruke stared at Jiang Mingyan with contempt: "You are all ungrateful wolves!"
Jiang Mingyan's eyes were cold.
He couldn't stop sneering in his heart.
Ungrateful? What did the Jiang family give them?
When he was young, he was ignorant and didn't understand why his mother didn't like the Jiang family.
Later, he fell from a great height, and various blows followed one after another. His mind, which had been lost in the Jiang family's prosperous appearance, finally calmed down completely, and he noticed the role played by the Jiang family in his seemingly prosperous life in the past.
His father was from the Jiang family's side branch and was adopted by the main branch since he was a child. On the surface, it seemed that the Jiang family was indebted to his father.
But although my father's parents have passed away, his uncle and aunt are still alive. They are kind-hearted and have been childless for many years. Even if the main branch of the Jiang family did not take a fancy to my father's qualifications and take him away, he would still be able to grow up safely.
And what kind of life is my father living on the main branch side?
He worked as a servant for several young masters of the main branch, being ordered around and could only practice late at night after the young masters had fallen asleep.
It is true that the Jiang family gave my father some resources for cultivation, but my father has been going out for training since the Qi training stage, and he brought back countless spirit stones and spiritual weapons, all of which were handed over to the main branch.
But how does the main branch do it?
Because my father did not marry the young lady of the Tang family in Shanhe City as they requested, they drove him to the most remote corner of the Jiang Mansion, maliciously insulted my mother, and treated my father and mother as slaves.
After he was born, the Jiang family never helped at all.
His spirit stones were given to him by his parents, and his cultivation resources were found by his parents. It was ridiculous that he was blinded by the false flattery and really thought that the Jiang family wished the best for their family of four!
But Jiang Mingyan knew that he could not communicate with Jiang Ruke, and no matter what he said, Jiang Ruke would think it was just quibbling.
Therefore, he did not waste any more words and simply said coldly: "If you insist on doing so, then we will go to the head of the family and let him judge."
The head of the Jiang family is named Jiang Zhenyu, the only Jindan stage cultivator in Wuan City.
It is precisely because of his existence that the Jiang family can dominate Wu'an City.
Jiang Zhenyu had three sons and one daughter. The second son was Jiang Huaishu, the father of Jiang Ruke.
But Jiang Mingyan dared to ask Jiang Zhenyu to judge at this time because he knew that no matter what, Jiang Zhenyu would not punish him and Sui Sui for a bamboo green black snake at this juncture.
Jiang Mingyan could see clearly that Jiang Zhenyu was very concerned about his reputation.
He was obviously extremely afraid of his father who was only one step away from the Golden Core stage, but every time he saw his father he would put on the appearance of a loving elder.
The Jiang family members are domineering in private, but because of Jiang Zhenyu, they have to pretend to be peaceful no matter what.
Is Jiang Zhenyu really unaware of the contempt and ridicule these Jiang family members have for him and Sui Sui?
impossible.
Although Jiang Zhenyu often secluded himself, he actually knew everything about the Jiang Mansion.
It's just that it didn't come to light, so he pretended not to see it.
——He might even deliberately condone it in secret.
But now that his father and mother's bodies are still warm, he has to make a big deal about what Jiang Ruke did, so Jiang Zhenyu can no longer just stand by and watch.
In order to prevent the Jiang family from getting the reputation of mistreating orphans, he would definitely punish Jiang Ruke and his group.
Hearing this, Jiang Ruke's angry mind calmed down a little.
He also knew that if they brought the matter to Jiang Zhenyu, they would be in trouble.
"Okay..." He smiled grimly, "Jiang Mingyan, you're great."
"I'll let you go for now, just wait..."
A group of people came in a large crowd and left in a noisy manner.
Jiang Mingyan picked up the bamboo green snake and straightened the string, looking away without making any comment.
He closed the gate and turned around to see the chubby little boy leaning on the quilt, with his feet raised and swaying leisurely.
His stern features softened, and he threw the bamboo green snake aside. He walked over and grabbed the fat foot that was looking very pleased with itself: "Why is Sui Sui so happy?"
"Ah!" The little fat boy moved his chubby feet that were caught by his brother. He was not annoyed when he couldn't pull them out. He tilted his round face, curved his black eyes and smiled sweetly at his brother. His white little milk teeth were so adorable.
Jiang Mingyan kissed the chubby boy's soft cheek, and his heart softened.
I want to be so happy every year...
