Chapter 22:-for-tat
The faint voice, containing a little disdain, fell lightly on the quiet martial arts arena.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and under the martial arts arena, whispers immediately broke out.
"This guy is really here, doesn't he know that if his strength doesn't reach the sixth level of body refining, he will be expelled from the family?" After seeing Jiang Mo, most of the onlookers laughed in a low voice.
"I think he came from humiliation, who doesn't know, Jiang Mo's strength has not improved in the past four years. ”
"No, I heard that Jiang Mo defeated Young Master Haotian a few days ago, and Young Master Haotian is a genuine seventh-layer powerhouse in body refining!" Not all the clansmen mocked Jiang Mo, and some neutral clansmen immediately said.
"Cut, what do you know, Young Master Haotian was just unwell that day, so he lost to Jiang Mo, this kid. At that time, the martial artists of the family all said that Jiang Mo's strength was at the fifth layer of body refining, otherwise how could he defeat the powerhouse of the seventh layer of body refining?"
"Oh, that's right. ”
"Moreover, even if he is really at the fifth level of body refining, it is impossible for him to break through to the sixth layer of body refining in just five days. So, this time, he will definitely be expelled from the family!"
The clansmen were talking, and when Jiang Mo passed by them, he seemed to have never heard of these words of ridicule or questioning.
Jiang Mo's heart was as still as water, and the words of these clansmen could no longer affect him at all.
Jiang Mo didn't speak, it didn't mean that Jiang Yiyang could endure these voices questioning Jiang Mo, his huge body stood in the middle of the crowd, and immediately shouted angrily: "You bastards who only dare to say bad things behind your back, if you have the ability, you can also defeat Jiang Haotian!"
The people were silent.
"Hmph, a bunch of useless garbage!" Although Jiang Yiyang is only the strength of the sixth layer of body refining, he is not the top among the younger generations in the family, but his indomitable momentum is not even possessed by the young people of the eighth layer of body refining.
When he scolded like this, no one immediately refuted.
"Yiyang, don't waste time with these people. Jiang Mo turned around and called Jiang Yiyang, and then went straight to the martial arts arena.
Hearing Jiang Mo's words, Jiang Yiyang did not hesitate, and immediately followed Jiang Mo to the martial arts arena, and saw that the young clansmen below were stunned, such a hot-tempered second ancestor actually obeyed Jiang Mo's words.
"Jiang Mo, you are such a big shelf, so many people are waiting for you alone!" Jiang Shenghai stood up and looked down at Jiang Mo condescendingly, like looking at an ant.
"According to me, directly cancel your test qualifications and expel you directly from the family, saving you waste our family's resources!"
Faintly, Jiang Shenghai released a trace of momentum, although it was very weak, but for Jiang Mo, it was as heavy as a mountain!
Jiang Shenghai is a one-star martial artist, and he is also a relatively high powerhouse in the Jiang family, and his momentum is not something that Jiang Mo can compete with today.
"Hehe, you keep saying that my shelf is big, I want me to ask you, what fault did I, Jiang Mo, make you so jealous?" Jiang Mo said with an unchanged face.
Although it was difficult for him to even breathe under that momentum, he still did not succumb to Jiang Shenghai's demonstration!
And Jiang Shenghai relied on his own strength to oppress Jiang Mo, and some other elders could naturally see it, but in order not to offend Jiang Shenghai, who was in the middle of the day, they all chose to remain silent.
In the eyes of these elders, Jiang Mo's value now is indeed not as good as Jiang Shenghai.
"Fault? You still have the face to ask, let the elders in our family wait for you alone, haven't you realized your mistake yet?" Jiang Shenghai raised his eyebrows and said.
"Then dare to ask, when will this family's coming-of-age ceremony start?" Jiang Mo stepped forward and said without giving way.
"The time begins. Jiang Shenghai replied that the time was equivalent to 9 to 11 o'clock in the morning.
"Then what time is it?" Jiang Mo asked again.
"It's the hour. ”
"Then am I late?" Chen Shi is equivalent to seven to nine o'clock in the morning, so Jiang Mo not only did not arrive late, but also came early.
Hearing this, Jiang Shenghai was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he reacted, "Even if you are not late, other clansmen have come, why are you the latest?"
"Hehe, what an idiot you are, it's your own business to come earlier, why are you imposing your habits on me. The corners of Jiang Mo's mouth pulled up a mocking arc and sneered.
"You!" Hearing Jiang Mo's undisguised mocking words, Jiang Shenghai was furious, and a powerful momentum suddenly erupted.
However, Jiang Mo was still not afraid, and his tall body stood on the martial arts arena, like a spear piercing the sky, with an awe-inspiring momentum!
This scene fell in the eyes of Jiang Dushen, who was sitting on top of him, and his cloudy old eyes flashed with a gleam.
Such momentum is very rare among the younger generations in the family. But it's a pity, if Mo'er's talent doesn't disappear, our Jiang family will give birth to a strong man in Wind and Thunder Town within a hundred years!" Soon, a trace of regret flashed in Jiang Dushen's eyes.
After a while, he slowly stood up, his rickety body, like a broken candle in the wind, could tip down at any time, but no one dared to despise him, even the most domineering Jiang Shenghai had to bow his head.
"Forget it, Mo'er is right, don't pursue this matter anymore. Jiang Dushen waved his hand and said.
Jiang Mo, who was originally proud, was slightly touched in his heart when he heard the word 'Mo'er'.
Four years ago, the white-haired old man in front of him called himself like this, and when he heard this voice again today, Jiang Mo felt a lot less resentment towards this old man in his heart.
It may be that the old master had too heavy expectations for himself at the beginning, so when his talent was lost and his strength stagnated, Jiang Dushen was just deeply disappointed, and then chose to ignore Jiang Mo.
Jiang Dushen is the grandfather of the original owner of this body, after all, blood is thicker than water, and no matter how deep the resentment is, it can't withstand the consumption of time.
However, Jiang Mo's hatred for Jiang Shenghai cannot fade with the passage of time, it will only get stronger and stronger!
"Yes, father. Jiang Shenghai listened to Jiang Dushen's words very much.
"Jiang Mo, I heard that you defeated Haotian before, but don't think that this can become your support. If you can't reach the sixth level of refining in the test today, you will still be expelled from the family. Jiang Shenghai took a deep look at Jiang Mo and said.
"Don't bother. Jiang Mo said lightly, and then stood with Jiang Yiyang among the young clansmen who were about to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's start the family coming-of-age ceremony. Jiang Shenghai glanced at the audience and said majestically.
After Jiang Shenghai's voice fell, there was silence below, all of them were waiting intently, preparing for this coming-of-age ceremony that would change their fate in the future!
