Chapter 29 Dog-eat-Dog
Xiao Xuantong said, "It seems that Master Uncle will not be able to make it to the succession ceremony."
"It's just right that I can't make it in time. Then I can rest assured and do something bigger." Ruan Wei smiled a little sinisterly, "Listen to me, come on."
The junior brothers and sisters listened obediently.
Only Xiao Xuantong, with veins throbbing on his forehead, tried to stop him, "Don't...be quiet. Don't make such a fuss that Master has to come and clean it up."
Ruan Wei, "I know."
She agreed heartlessly.
It was obvious that he didn't hear anything, let alone take it to heart.
Xiao Xuantong: Master, Master, please say something——
It's so unfair. He has never been able to control this junior sister.
Ruan Wei knew clearly that the person who really managed their sect was Second Master Uncle. As long as this mess was not brought to the attention of Second Master Uncle, everything would be fine.
Thinking of Ruan Ruanzhi who returned to the Ruan family to detoxify her.
Ruan Wei was so angry that his teeth were itching.
If she doesn't turn the succession ceremony upside down this time, she won't return to Penglai!
"Let's go and ask the young master for 'help' first."
-
Ruan family.
Ruan Jianjiang, "Dad, are you not sick?!"
Ruan He sat upright and scolded, "Why are you yelling?"
"That's how you talk to your father. Is that what Kunyin Sect taught you?"
Ruan Jianjiang couldn't help but turn pale when he heard him mention Kunyin Sect, and shook his head hurriedly, "Dad, don't be so resentful towards Master, he is doing this for my own good——"
"snort!"
Ruan He slammed the table in anger, and the long eight-immortals table broke directly in the middle.
He pointed at Ruan Jianjiang angrily, "You keep calling me 'Master, Master'. Ruan Jianjiang, whose son are you?! If I say anything bad about Kunyin Sect, you'll have a thousand rebuttals waiting for me. In your heart, he is doing this for your own good, but not for me?"
It happened again, he knew.
Ruan Jianjiang shook his head, "No, Dad. That's not what I meant."
He had no way of defending himself.
Whenever his master, Yuanyin Zhenren, is mentioned, his amiable father's demeanor changes.
Full of ferociousness.
Just like when he was a child and played with his second uncle's children.
Ruan He was furious. "Yes, you haven't been by my side for more than ten years! But is this something I can choose?"
"You left home at the age of three. I thought that by having you join a major sect, you would bring some strength to the Ruan family. Who knew you would never return? You haven't even returned home in over a decade. I summoned you to ask you about something, but you didn't know anything. Even so, I put so much thought into making plans for you!"
"You only care about your master, how have I ever wronged you?"
This is why he was unwilling to return to the Ruan family.
Ruan Jianjiang was no longer a child, and he knew that his father was not as kind as he appeared to outsiders.
I also learned from my master that my father's position as the head of the family might not have been obtained in a legitimate way.
Ruan Jianjiang's face turned pale. "... Dad, what are you planning for me? Could it be that what they said is true?"
His eyes widened. "You want to pass the throne to me?"
Seeing him so terrified, Ruan He was extremely dissatisfied. "What are you afraid of? You're my son. Do you really want me to pass it on to that bastard Ruan Ruanzhi or that beastly Lao San?"
Ruan Jianjiang, "Dad? The Red Hare Sword has recognized its master!"
"So what?" Ruan He said excitedly, pressing Ruan Jianjiang's shoulder. "It's not like there haven't been cases of sword masters changing hands before—"
"You and I, father and son, have joined forces. Ruan Ruanzhi is an orphan, isolated and helpless. As long as he dies, my son, even if Red Hare disowns you, will I also disown you?!"
As he spoke, Ruan He suddenly remembered something, "And that girl hiding in Penglai, do you know what she is? She has a Heavenly Grade Water Spiritual Root. If we can capture her then, your ascension to the Great Dao won't be far behind!"
"I don't want it!"
Ruan Jianjiang shook his hand away.
Seeing the madness flashing in Ruan He's eyes, Ruan Jianjiang paused, unable to help but look disappointed, "Dad...you are crazy, you are really crazy."
"Those are my cousins! My second uncle and second aunt are gone, and you, you actually plotted against my cousin's life! Besides, the position of head of this family was originally my cousin's due. It was his when my second uncle died, and he was also the master of the Red Hare Sword—"
“Snap—”
A crisp sound.
Ruan Jianjiang turned his head away after being hit by his palm.
He turned to look at his father in disbelief.
His fingers quietly rested on the jade flute at his waist.
Ruan He's eyes were bloodshot, his hair standing on end with rage. He pointed at Ruan Jianjiang, "Asshole! Stupid! How can I not be angry at how you were raised to be this stupid in Kunyumen?"
"Come here! Lock the young master back in the courtyard and don't let him out until the grand ceremony!"
The guard outside the door came in upon hearing this and approached Ruan Jianjiang in a surrounding manner.
"presumptuous!"
Ruan Jianjiang threw out a barrier talisman, and the guards were immediately blocked outside the barrier. He turned to look at Ruan He, "Father, do you really have to do this——"
"Brothers fighting each other or fathers fighting their sons, is this what you expected?"
Ruan Jianjiang didn't understand. Is it really worth it to plot the deaths of two or more people just for the position of the head of the family?
The light on his green flute was flowing, ready to go.
Ruan He stood up, and with his immense spiritual power, he easily destroyed Ruan Jianjiang's barrier talisman. He even lamented, "It's Yuan Yin's fault. He didn't teach you well. That's why you didn't understand the situation and didn't choose to stand by your father's side."
Ruan Jianjiang finally understood.
It's impossible to make Ruan He wake up just by talking.
He was not slow to act, and took off the jade flute. Before playing it, he still held a glimmer of hope, "Father, if you give up——"
"Do it."
Ruan He impatiently interrupted Ruan Jianjiang before he could finish his words.
In Ruan He's eyes, this child was simply too dull because of the education he received from the Kunyin Sect.
If she were raised by him and had seen the filthiness of these great families, she would naturally not be so kind.
"good."
The last word of retention.
Ruan Jianjiang dodged the guard's hold and the sound of the flute suddenly rose.
Everyone who heard the sound was confused for a moment, and in that moment, Ruan Jianjiang threw out several explosive talismans.
The force was too great, and Ruan He roared, "Treason!"
Ruan He immediately used his luck to contain the explosive talisman, reducing its sound and power.
But at least this is a product of Xuantian Pavilion.
Ruan Jianjiang only had a few high-quality explosive talismans left. Although Ruan He released his spiritual power in time, the talisman still caused the entire main courtyard to shake three times, and a big hole was blown in the window coffin.
He immediately ran away amidst the loud noise.
Ruan He, "Stop him! Don't let him go out and look for someone!"
There are actually many guards here who are in the Nascent Soul stage, but they were not harmed by those explosive talismans.
"Young Master, I'm sorry."
They rushed towards Ruan Jianjiang again.
Ruan Jianjiang rolled on the ground again to avoid the flying rope, and the flute sounded again. Most of the music he practiced was auxiliary music, which could only affect the emotions and consciousness of these people and had no great attack power.
The admiration for his father in his eyes finally disappeared.
When he was at Kunyin Sect, Master told him that he didn't need to go home unless he had something to do, and that he should concentrate on cultivation.
It's not that Ruan Jianjiang didn't understand, so he pretended not to understand when Ruan He sent him a message to ask about various Kunyinmen affairs; that's why he didn't dare to go home when his second uncle died and Ruan He succeeded to the throne.
So he never dared to meet Ruan Huan's siblings.
In the past, Ruan Jianjiang could sit on the high platform as a matter of course, using the excuse that he was thousands of miles away and devoted himself to cultivation.
Not this time.
Ruan He went too far.
He had to ask the sect for help. Apart from the sect, no one would care about the filthiness of these big families.
Ruan Jianjiang concentrated his spiritual power, blew on it while taking out a teleportation talisman from his mustard seed bag. The guards still took his identity as a young master into consideration and did not dare to kill him, so he was able to continue to escape.
-
In Ruan Huan's courtyard.
Ruan Ruanzhi, who was locked up in the yard by Ruan He to meditate, was just finishing practicing a calligraphy piece.
There was a deafening explosion in the main courtyard, and the ink from his pen seeped into the words.
The man in black was reporting to him what had just happened in the main courtyard, without missing a word.
When Ruan Ruanzhi heard that Ruan He wanted to change the position of the master of Red Hare Sword, he couldn't help but chuckle.
He is my uncle.
Should we say that Ruan He is too vicious or too stupid?
Ruan Ruanzhi had very little contact with Ruan Jianjiang.
Who would have thought that the Kunyin Sect truly lived up to its reputation as one of the ten great sects? Ruan Jianjiang, who had been taught there, had actually escaped Ruan He's influence. He was a very upright person, worthy of being called a disciple of the righteous path.
His cousin is really incorruptible.
Ruan Jianjiang had never tasted the feeling of standing at the top, and had no desire for it; but Ruan He, on the other hand, had been eyeing this power day and night. He had been planning for many years and had joined forces with his third uncle, which led to the change of the head of the Ruan family.
Ruan Ruanzhi couldn't help but think of how his third uncle was using his father's death to force Ruan He to abdicate.
He was just adding fuel to the fire.
The evidence in Uncle San's hand was given to him by Ruan Ruanzhi.
"Dog bites dog."
He wrote with great force, and the ink splashed everywhere, staining the fine characters black.
Ruan Ruanzhi laughed and said, "A mouth full of hair."
He raised his hand to send the man in black away, but a fierce look suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"You still dare to set your sights on Weiwei."
Ruan Ruanzhi sneered.
If Xiao Xuan was here, he would only feel that the two siblings were too similar, which gave him an extremely familiar chill on his back.
Ruan Ruanzhi was in the shadows, the midday light flowing down along his tall nose bridge, a strong heat surged all over his body, and his red rabbit swayed restlessly.
Like a ghost talking.
"Ruan He, if I don't kill you this time, I'll be a fool!"
