"Grandfather, I am your great-granddaughter! Are you so unkind?"
Hearing Jiang Yuer shout out these words, Jiang Hongyun's face changed drastically, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Shut up! How dare you say such outrageous words!"
In response, Jiang Yuer just smiled bitterly and said, "I am telling the truth, isn't it, Grandpa?"
"You..." Jiang Hongyun opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Jiang Yuer's father is indeed his biological son, but in a super large family like theirs, there is no small family, only the concept of a large family. Especially for someone like him who is in a high position, even father and son cannot be too close, let alone grandparents and grandchildren. In the family, except for the ancestor, all members are referred to by their positions.
There can only be one object of worship, and that is the head of the family, or the ancestor of the family. This is to avoid the formation of factions within the family due to blood inheritance, which would cause internal friction.
Jiang Yuer has lived for 6.7 billion years and has always addressed Jiang Hongyun as an elder. This is the first time she has called him "Grandpa".
"Yu'er, you have to be obedient. The ancestor does this for the sake of the family. Anyway, you will have to find a Taoist partner sooner or later. Can you find a Taoist partner with better conditions than Ji Haoxuan?" Jiang Hongyun sighed.
"Haha, my Jiang family has stood in the Qiongzu Universe for so many years, why should we bow to the Ji family? Old Ancestor, you can't even guarantee the happiness of your great-granddaughter, what's the point of this family surviving?" Jiang Yuer sneered, still shouting this sentence at Jiang Yang.
"Pa~" Jiang Hongyun slapped Jiang Yuer on the pretty face and shouted angrily: "Jiang Yuer, don't be so presumptuous! How can you guess the arrangements of the ancestor!"
Seeing this, Chen Siqi quickly helped Jiang Yuer up, and angrily scolded Jiang Hongyun with contempt: "You old man, your own granddaughter was taken away and you dared not say a word, but you are quite capable of beating your own people!"
If she didn't feel that the gap between herself and Jiang Hongyun was too big, she would have been unable to resist going up and teaching Jiang Hongyun a lesson.
Thinking back to when their family was still on Earth and Li Mu hadn't returned yet, their Chen family was suppressed to the point of bankruptcy, and her grandfather Chen Wen never thought of pushing her out for marriage. Now that the Jiang family is so powerful, such a bloody thing can still happen, which really makes her angry.
Ji Wenbin, who was watching the show on the side, said sinisterly: "Where did this little girl come from to be so rude? Elder Hongyun, this person is not from your Jiang family, right?"
Jiang Hongyun shook his head helplessly.
"That's good. You go ahead and do your work. I'll help you deal with this girl!" Ji Wenbin said as he prepared to attack Chen Siqi.
However, Jiang Hongyun reached out to stop him and said with a wry smile: "Elder Wenbin, the little girl is ignorant, so don't embarrass her!"
Ji Wenbin was a little surprised when he heard this. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Chen Siqi, but finally gave up.
Little did he know that he had already been to the gates of hell. The moment he had the idea of attacking Chen Siqi, Li Mu had already used his magical powers to lock onto Ji Wenbin. If he dared to attack, Li Mu would kill him immediately, destroying his soul completely.
Jiang Hongyun was also in mixed emotions at this time. He had many children and descendants in his life, but due to clan rules, he never dared to get close to them. But Jiang Yuer was different. As the pride of the younger generation of the family, Jiang Yuer was very much appreciated by the ancestor and often came to the ancestor's secluded palace. As the elder guarding the palace gate, he also had more contact with Jiang Yuer.
Therefore, he had a different feeling towards his granddaughter Jiang Yuer. He naturally hoped that Jiang Yuer could choose her own life and live a happy life, but so what? How could he control the will of the ancestor? Even if he was the ancestor's biological son, his words in front of the ancestor had no weight.
The reason why he hit Jiang Yuer just now was actually because he was afraid that Jiang Yuer's words would make the ancestor angry. By then, it might not be as simple as letting Jiang Yuer marry into the Ji family.
"Grandfather, you once said that I am your favorite descendant. Can you please see me as a farewell?" Jiang Yuer was still begging.
"Oh~! Let's go back to the Ji family with Elder Wenbin. I promise that after you leave, I will make proper arrangements for these children. At least they will not be threatened by anyone in my Jiang family." Jiang Hongyun sighed heavily. With his experience, he had naturally seen through Ji Wenbin's murderous intentions towards Li Mu and the other two. All he could do for Jiang Yuer now was to save Li Mu and the other two.
Ji Wenbin frowned upon hearing this, and said unhappily, "Elder Hongyun, what do you mean by this?"
"It's nothing. When guests come to my Jiang family as guests, we will naturally entertain them well and let them come and leave safely." Jiang Hongyun said lightly.
Ji Wenbin was not stupid, so he naturally understood what Jiang Hongyun meant. However, he was not a fool either, so he would not quarrel with Jiang Hongyun over such a matter. He immediately smiled again, "Haha, that's what I should do. If someone comes to visit my Ji family, I will not neglect them. Otherwise, others will think that our two families are bullying others and do not know etiquette."
At this point, Ji Wenbin changed the subject and said in a deep voice, "However, guests are guests after all. They will leave one day. Although our two families are powerful and have many people, we can't take care of an outsider for a lifetime. If they have any problems outside, it's not hospitality, but overbearing."
After saying that, he stared at Jiang Hongyun. Face is given to both parties. He has already given the other party enough face. If the other party still doesn't know what's good for him, then there is naturally no need for him to beat around the bush with Jiang Hongyun. Li Mu had made him lose face before. How could he give up after just a few words from Jiang Hongyun?
After hearing what Ji Wenbin said, Jiang Hongyun was silent for a while, and finally nodded.
Seeing this, Ji Wenbin laughed out loud: "Haha~ refreshing!"
Then he looked at Jiang Yuer and said, "Jiang family girl, you've made enough trouble. It's time to come with me, right? Ji Zu is waiting to summon you personally."
Jiang Yuer's eyes were empty at this. Just when she was about to nod in agreement, she heard Li Mu speak: "Palace Master Jiang is not only a member of the Jiang family, but also the Palace Master of our Lingxiao Palace. We in Lingxiao Palace do not agree to this!"
"Yes, let our palace master marry that scumbag Ji Haoxuan. Have you asked the majority of the palace members in Lingxiao Palace?" Chen Siqi also echoed angrily.
Liu Yuanbai did not say anything, but just took a step forward silently. Although he was only the third level of Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor, if a conflict broke out between the two sides, he would not even be qualified to participate in the battle. However, as Li Mu's subordinate and a member of Lingxiao Palace, he still had to behave properly.
Ji Wenbin raised his eyebrows when he saw this, and said to Jiang Hongyun: "Elder Hongyun, are these your guests? You want to treat them as guests, but they are taking advantage of you!"
Jiang Hongyun also frowned slightly, thinking that these young people in front of him were too ungrateful.
