Chapter 4
Jiang Mingyan's eyes darkened, and he immediately stood up with the little fat boy in his arms and put the soft little ball in the crib.
Then, he followed the method he had just learned from Lan Qiuying Bracelet, condensing the spiritual energy on his fingertips, first tapping lightly on the Jiuchunzhan Bracelet on Jiang Suiyan's little hand, and then tapping a few times on the Lan Qiuying Bracelet.
Under the stimulation of spiritual power, the light of the two Sumeru bracelets disappeared. At a glance, they were just two ordinary bracelets, nothing special.
Jiang Mingyan's series of actions were very quick and were completed in just a few breaths.
——We must not let the visitors discover the extraordinary nature of this pair of Sumeru bracelets.
He thought calmly in his heart.
Jiang Mingyan had never noticed it before, or perhaps Yun Zhaoming's cold and indifferent personality was too deeply rooted in people's hearts. Although he always thought that his mother was very outstanding and was in no way inferior to the main branch children who were constantly praised by the Jiang family, he had never investigated his mother's origins. He just thought that his mother didn't mention it because she didn't want to mention it.
But after his spiritual roots were broken, even the best alchemist in Wuan City was helpless. However, A'niang took out the recipe for the elixir to restore his spirit.
Even Jiang Ruheng, the most respected person in the Jiang family, used a storage bag that was a first-grade spiritual weapon that Jiang Huaizhi bought from Caibaotang specially, but it was only the size of half a room. However, his mother could get a pair of growth-type spiritual weapons at once.
Jiang Mingyan didn't know A Niang's origins, but he knew that A Niang must have her reasons for not wanting to talk about it.
He was willing to respect A Niang's wishes and would not let the Jiang family discover that A Niang was acting strangely.
Suddenly, the little cub flew into the air. After being placed back into the soft blanket, he blinked his round eyes in confusion and uttered a puzzled little voice: "Huh?"
Unfortunately, Jiang Mingyan was too late to comfort the ignorant little cub.
In the end, he could only push the crib deeper into the house to ensure that the heavy rain and cool wind that rushed in after the door was opened would not reach the little cub in the crib. The footsteps outside had stopped.
The next moment, the door was rudely pushed open, and a sudden rain came in, soaking Jiang Mingyan's hair and clothes.
Seeing this, the thin, long-faced man smiled apologetically and said, "I didn't notice that Master Ming Yan was so close to the door. I got his clothes wet."
Jiang Mingyan looked up indifferently, unmoved by his insincere words. He simply asked coldly, "Manager Zhang, what brings you here?"
Manager Zhang smiled when he heard this.
Jiang Mingyan frowned.
This smile made him feel particularly uncomfortable.
Contempt, pity, and expectations mixed with malice...all these emotions intertwined are truly disgusting.
"The Fourth Young Master and the Fourth Madam disobeyed the Eldest Young Master's orders in the Dusk Mountains, acting on their own accord and perishing at the hands of a demonic beast."
Manager Zhang seemed to wipe his eyes, but Jiang Mingyan was no longer able to pay attention to it.
His head felt dizzy and swollen, and he felt that every syllable that came out of Manager Zhang's mouth was so mysterious and difficult to understand. They surrounded him like chains with sharp spikes, binding him firmly in place.
"The young masters have just returned and are all in the main courtyard. When the master heard about this, he was also very sad. What a twist of fate."
"Everyone is very sad. Who could have imagined this? But it has come to this..."
"Mr. Ming Yan, please accept my condolences."
Manager Zhang's mouth opened and closed, and the sound it made was extremely noisy.
He still wanted to go into the house to see Jiang Sui Yan, but even though Jiang Ming Yan's soul seemed to have floated out of his body at this moment, he still subconsciously blocked Manager Zhang.
Manager Zhang's face twitched and he left with a long face.
The door of the house was not closed and the courtyard door was wide open. The heavy rain poured down on him. Soon, Jiang Mingyan was soaked all over.
I am sorry for your loss……
Oh, my condolences.
Jiang Mingyan gave a mocking smile.
His father is a swordsman who has reached the great perfection of foundation building and is only one step away from the golden elixir stage.
His mother was a cultivator in the middle stage of the foundation building stage. She was well versed in the techniques of gold and wood, and had once killed a third-grade demon beast, whose strength was equivalent to that of a cultivator who had reached the great perfection of the foundation building stage.
Why should they obey the orders of Jiang Huaizhi, a loser who had used countless elixirs to barely reach the foundation-building level?
This time, Dad and Mom went to the outskirts of the Dusk Mountains. The most powerful monster there was only at the great perfection of the foundation building stage. How could they end up being killed by the monster?
Sad? The Jiang family must be secretly happy.
Finally, there are no more side branches weighing on them.
What's the point of pretending to be sad? They don't care, and it will only offend my parents.
The sky was dark and windy, and there seemed to be a huge black cloth in the sky, blocking all light and falling down with heavy pressure.
In the pouring rain, Jiang Mingyan looked towards the main courtyard through the layers of high walls.
There, those members of the Jiang family who were stepping on the blood and bones of their father and mother were pretending to be sad.
They may be laughing heartily in their hearts and mocking with triumph.
How can they still live so comfortably in this world when their father and mother are dead?
How can they match!
Jiang Mingyan stared at the unclosed door and the wide-open courtyard gate, and a subtle voice in his heart kept whispering and urging him.
Walk out from here and rush to the main courtyard of Jiang Mansion.
Let the Jiang family pay with their lives, let them pay for their father and mother’s lives!
Jiang Mingyan's eyes were dark and deep, like a dormant beast from the abyss, as if it would suddenly pounce at the next moment, splashing blood everywhere.
He knew that his spiritual roots were now broken and he was a useless person.
But, he thought, if he rushed in with a long sword, into the majestic and inviolable main courtyard...
I think the Jiang family members must have very interesting expressions on their faces.
He might die, but that doesn't matter. It's good to be reunited with his parents.
"Aa ...
Jiang Mingyan was almost about to step out of the door, but at this moment, a soft baby voice came from behind him.
"Chuckle?"
He turned stiffly and saw that the chubby kid, who had been lying peacefully on the soft bedding, had somehow stood up crookedly by grabbing the railings of the crib.
"Years."
Seeing the little cub with round eyes curved into two small crescents and a cute little face full of dependence, Jiang Mingyan was struck by thunder and suddenly woke up from his previous state of madness.
No, he can't die.
Suisui is not even one year old yet. He is such a tiny ball, soft all over, and can only smile with his bright round eyes. His babbling baby voice is soft and sticky.
What will happen to Sui Sui once he dies?
The Jiang family will not treat him well and will just let Suisui fend for himself.
Jiang Mingyan pulled the corners of his mouth, trying hard to suppress his grief and anger. "Did Suisui want to eat Ningling fruit just now? Brother, go get some fruit for Suisui."
He walked over and wanted to touch the little fat boy's soft little face.
But when he was about to touch it, he suddenly realized that he was covered in rain and his fingertips were cold.
He could only withdraw his hand in silence.
But as soon as he moved, the little guy who was tilting his round face to wait for his brother to touch him seemed to sense something, arched his furry little head forward, and took the initiative to put his cheek into his brother's hand.
"Ah~" Feeling the coldness of his brother's hand, the little guy muttered in surprise.
Jiang Mingyan froze and wanted to withdraw his hand.
"Ah!" Seeing that his brother wanted to run again, the little guy used his two fat paws to grab the palm that was much bigger than his own hand, and rubbed it a few times with his little face domineeringly.
Then he chuckled, transferring the warmth of his little face to the cold palm.
When he felt his little face getting cold, he released the two fat paws that were holding Jiang Mingyan's palms, and instead held his own little face with a smile on his face.
Jiang Mingyan curled his palms slightly.
The warmth on the little fat boy's face was slight, but that warmth was like a small, round seed, which unreasonably and forcefully broke into the heart, taking root and sprouting on its own.
Miraculously, as the round seeds sprouted, the chillness in his body seemed to be dispelled.
"I'll go get the Ningling Fruit for Suisui." Jiang Mingyan clenched his hand that had just been rubbed by the fat boy, as if to keep that warmth forever.
He turned around and wiped his face with his other hand, wiping away the stains on his face that he didn't know whether they were from rain or tears.
The little guy on the small bed, holding his little face, looked at his brother's back, tilted his head, then sat down and started talking to his brother in babbling.
"Ahhh..."
Brother, what happened to you just now?
"Eh?"
Why don’t you close the door and just stand there?
"Woooooooooooooooo~"
Brother, after you put Sui Sui in the crib, Sui Sui didn’t cry.
“Ahhh~”
Sui Sui played by himself and didn't speak until the strange man had left for a long time.
"Woo woo woo~"
It was because her brother ignored Sui Sui for a long time that Sui Sui finally stood up by holding on to the railing of the crib.
“Aaaaaaa…”
Brother, do you miss your father and mother?
"Aa ...
Don’t be afraid, brother. Suisui will always be with you.
Jiang Mingyan only had a vague understanding of the little guy's baby talk, but at this moment, listening to the little fat boy's sweet voice, his brows unconsciously relaxed slowly.
He also has Sui Sui.
Now that his father and mother are gone, he is the pillar of the family.
He will protect you as you grow up.
Dad and Mom, don't worry.

In the afternoon, the rainstorm gradually subsided and the sun shone through the dark clouds, with darkness and brightness intertwined and mottled light and shadow.
Jiang Sui Yan woke up early in the morning. After chewing a Ningling fruit, he opened his little mouth and let Jiang Ming Yan wipe his little baby teeth. After rinsing his mouth, he lay down on the small bed and fell into a deep sleep covered with a thin quilt.
Jiang Mingyan was sitting aside, counting his belongings.
My father and mother were going to Shanhe City to buy the black hedge grass from Caibaotang and took away most of the spirit stones in the house.
Now in Jiang Mingyan's hand, there is a storage bag of low-grade spirit stones that A Niang gave him before she left, a total of 150 pieces.
There are also the spirit stones he has saved since he was a child.
His father and mother gave him five low-grade spirit stones every month. Excluding the ones he spent, he had saved a total of three hundred and ninety-six.
Adding the fifty-five coins from Sui Sui, the total is six hundred and one.
After the calculation, Jiang Mingyan felt a little relieved.
These spirit stones are enough to sustain us for a while.
Suisui still has some spirit beast milk left from drinking it, and Suisui doesn't just drink spirit beast milk. He has already started eating some complementary foods, so I think he can hold on for a while longer.
Thinking of the cute look of the little fat baby patting his soft belly and looking eagerly at the small bowl of fruit puree, Jiang Mingyan's eyes softened.
After a few days, he went out to find a job in Wu'an City, and he was able to keep Suisui fat and white.
As for his spiritual roots...
Jiang Mingyan's expression darkened.
Wait a little longer, until you are older...
