Chapter 4: The Five Great Families

Jiang Lan took Xiao Jiangyun's hand and continued to shuttle through the crowd, but at this time, the excitement and anticipation in the hearts of the two had long since disappeared.

"Yun'er, shall we go eat noodles?" Jiang Lan asked as she bent down and looked at the little boy with a somewhat solemn face.

"Good!" the little boy had no appetite for gluttony, but he still wanted to taste what his sister's favorite would taste like.

Jiang Lan also bit her lip when she saw the little boy's face, but this time she didn't say anything, and pulled the little boy and walked towards the restaurant.

"Sister, what kind of family and cultivation are you talking about, what is it? And that family meeting, isn't that dangerous?" The two of them were walking forward, and the boy's doubts finally broke out, and Jiang Lan also flashed a trace of worry in his heart.

Since the day she and her grandfather rescued Jiang Yun, she has watched Jiang Yun grow up day by day, and she also knows in her heart what Jiang Yun's physical condition is, but everyone in the family does not dare to tell him these facts, Jiang Lan only wants to protect this younger brother behind her forever, hoping that he will never come into contact with the outside world, because this world is too dangerous for Jiang Yun.

But Jiang Lan now finds that she, even her father, can't protect Xiao Jiangyun in the barrier forever, one day, Xiao Jiangyun will know that he is different from others, and one day, he will face the dangers of this world alone.

Therefore, Jiang Lan decided to tell Xiao Jiangyun all this, she could see from Jiang Yun's determined eyes just now that this younger brother of hers was by no means the kind of person who would be crushed by fate, and she began to believe that Xiao Jiangyun would definitely be able to face all this!

"Yun'er, I know you have a lot of doubts, my sister will answer your questions one by one later, but let's go fill our stomachs first, okay?" Jiang Lan smiled at Xiao Jiangyun.

"Good!"

Xiao Jiangyun saw that his sister was no longer sad, and a cute smile appeared on his little face, which made people want to pinch his little face.

The two continued to walk towards the city, and after a while, they arrived at the door of a three-story building, only to see three words written on the plaque on the door: "Cloud Crane Tower".

"Yun'er, we're here!" Jiang Lan looked up at the plaque on the door and smiled, then took Jiang Yun's little hand and entered the building.

There are many guests in the Songhe Tower, and the people come and go is extremely lively.

"Isn't this Xiao Lan?" a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby and kind face walked out from behind the counter, obviously knowing Jiang Lan.

"Hello Uncle Mu!" Jiang Lan was also very familiar with the middle-aged man, and greeted the man respectfully.

"Haha! I haven't seen you for a long time, how is your grandfather doing lately?" the middle-aged man laughed.

"Grandpa, he's in good health, but Uncle Mu, you look a little fatter!" Jiang Lan joked with the middle-aged man.

"Alas, don't mention it, I've been sweating a lot lately, and I don't know what's wrong, I really have to go to your house and ask the old man to treat me after a while!"

"Okay, then you can tell me the symptoms briefly, and I'll go back and tell my grandfather to see if I can prescribe the prescription for you in advance!" Jiang Lan said to the middle-aged uncle.

"By the way, I forgot to introduce you when I patronized and spoke, this is my younger brother Jiang Yun, Yun'er, called Uncle Mu. Jiang Lan patted Jiang Yun lightly.

"Hello Uncle Mu!" Jiang Yun's cute big eyes looked at the middle-aged man curiously, and seemed to have a good impression of him.

"This is the younger brother you often tell me!

"Yes, Uncle Mu, please prepare two bowls of Qingyang noodles for us today! Just take Yun'er into the city today, and let him taste the craftsmanship of our Songhe Tower!" Jiang Lan said happily to the middle-aged man.

"No problem, you find a place to sit down first, and I'll let them do it!"

"Thank you, Uncle Mu!"

After that, Jiang Lan took Jiang Yun to find an empty table and sit down.

"Sister, are you very familiar with that Uncle Mu?" Jiang Yun asked curiously.

"That's right, Uncle Mu often comes to our house for consultation, and you run around all day to play, so naturally you won't know each other. ”

"Oh..."Jiang Yun scratched his little head.

β€œ...”

The two sat for a while, and two bowls of steaming Qingyang noodles were served to the table.

"Yun'er, come and taste it, this is my sister's favorite food!" Jiang Lan looked at the little boy expectantly and said.

Before he could finish his words, the boy had already begun to eat.

"Hmm... Is... Not.. It's so delicious!" Jiang Yun's two cheeks were bulging, obviously liking this Qingyang noodle.

Jiang Lan watched the boy eat happily, as if he had forgotten everything that had happened before.

Just when Jiang Lan thought that she could say those things to Jiang Yun later, Jiang Yun spoke.

"Sister, you just said you wanted to answer my question!"

"It's time to come," Jiang Lan sighed slightly in her heart.

"Okay, then my sister will answer your questions. ”

"Yun'er, you may feel unacceptable about what I told you now, but you have to promise your sister that you must be strong and always happy, because no matter what, your sister will always stand in front of you to protect you!

"Sister, I understand!" Jiang Yun's cute little face showed the firmness before again.

Jiang Lan saw Jiang Yun's expression, and then nodded.

"The heaven and earth we are in is called the Lingyun Continent, and in this world, everything has one thing as the foundation, and that is Reiki. ”

"And the cultivation that people talk about is to transform the aura between heaven and earth into their own power, and this cultivation is divided into many levels, and each level is divided into the early, middle, late and peak periods, this initial level is called the condensation realm, and then the pulse realm, the transformation realm, the phantom realm, the sky realm, and the mountains and rivers realm, and then the realm sister can't name it, because the strongest person we know is the emperor of our Roselle Empire, Emperor Luowen, he has reached the realm of mountains and rivers, this kind of strong man we can't imagine now, only know that he is extremely powerful。 And Yun'er, you..."

Saying this, Jiang Lan pursed her lips slightly.

"Yun'er, you may not be able to cultivate. Jiang Lan looked at Jiang Yun a little nervously.

"Why, sister, I also want to be a strong man like Emperor Luo Wen, I want to protect my sister!" Jiang Yun's eyes were instantly filled with mist, and tears couldn't stop sliding down his face. He didn't understand why everyone could have the opportunity to cultivate, but he didn't!

"Yun'er, don't be sad, my sister believes that there will be a way to cure you!" Jiang Lan also felt a trace of bitterness in her heart, she walked up to Jiang Yun and hugged him tightly in her arms, Jiang Yun also cried bitterly at this time.

After a long time, Jiang Yun's crying gradually stopped.

"Sister, I understand!"

"Although I can't cultivate like a normal person, I won't give up! Because I want to protect you, protect my father, and protect my grandfather! I can't let others bully you!"

"Sister, I can do it!" said the little boy firmly.

"Well, my sister believes in you, and she will be able to do it!"

"Sister, can you tell me about the five major families and the conference now?" Jiang Yun still had a trace of doubt in his heart.

"Okay, the five major families are the Zheng family, the Li family, the Lin family, the Xia family, and our Jiang family. ”

"The Zheng family is at the top of the five major families, because they control the auction house in Huiling City and have very strong financial resources. ”

"And the Li family controls the construction and sales of houses in Huiling City, the Lin family controls the construction industry, and the soldiers in Huiling City use weapons made by the Lin family. ”

"The Xia family earns their wealth by hunting spirit beasts. ”

"And our Jiang family relies on the sale of medicinal materials and the treatment of diseases to save people. ”

"As for the family assembly, it is held every five years, and the contestants are young people between the ages of twelve and fifteen selected from our five major families. The purpose is to test the strongest of the younger generation, which can also represent the future strength of each family, so this conference is extremely important for our five families. ”

"Our Jiang family has practiced medicine for generations, and most of the exercises we practice are of the auxiliary type, I remember that the last family conference was attended by our brother Jiang Hao, but what he practiced was our Jiang family's "rejuvenation technique", which is a kind of cultivation exercise, but the effect is to cultivate the aura into a healing aura, and the attack ability is very weak, so even if Brother Jiang Hao has cultivated several top attack spirit skills in the family, he still got the last seat in the family conference. ”

"Sister, is the family meeting dangerous?" Xiao Jiangyun also heard Zheng Li's words about injuring Jiang Lan.

"Don't worry, Yun'er, my sister will be fine!" Jiang Lan's delicate little face also had a touch of perseverance at this time.
