At this time, in the main dining room, all the high-level figures of the Jiang family have arrived, and the sumptuous meals are neatly placed on a large round table, exuding an attractive fragrance, but because the head of the family, Jiang Huan, has not yet arrived, there is no one who moves chopsticks.

At this time, Jiang Huan took Jiang Chen's hand and whispered something and laughed, walked in casually, and then sat on the main seat. "Come on, go and prepare a chair and a pair of dishes and chopsticks, and I'll eat here in the morning." ”

Seeing that Jiang Chen was indeed fine, Jiang Hua walked over to Jiang Chen with a smile and said with concern, "Chen'er, there is nothing wrong with your body, right?"

Recalling that on weekdays, his second uncle was particularly spoiled by himself, Jiang Chen gave Jiang Hua a junior salute, and said, "I'm tired of the second uncle, Chen'er is now a big deal." ”

Seeing that Jiang Chen also sat down, everyone present began to whisper.

"Hmph, family master, although Jiang Chen is your son, you can't be so partial to juniors, right! It has always been that only the high-ranking members of the family can dine in this main restaurant, and even my son is not qualified, let alone a grandson, such a ridiculous thing has never happened when the old family master was alive before. The Great Elder was filled with indignation, and almost slapped the table and left.

As soon as the Great Elder's words fell, the Third Elder said again, "Yes, our Jiang family has always had strict rules, do you want to think about this matter again, the head of the family." ”

As the two elders objected to Jiang Huan's decision one after another, the atmosphere at the dinner table fell into an impasse for a while.

"Jiang Chen, as a young master, although he is still young, he does have the qualifications to sit here. Among the four elders, only the second elder was a supporter of Jiang Huan, and after seeing Jiang Huan's bad face, he spoke out to break the deadlock.

Seeing that the elders had different opinions, the voices of the private discussions became louder and louder, but only the four elders still kept smiling and didn't say a word.

Jiang Huan glanced at the second elder gratefully, then cleared his throat and said, "Quiet, what kind of body is noisy, this matter is settled! ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Huan seemed to smile a few times at the Great Elder, intentionally or unintentionally, but he looked quite complacent.

Knowing that Jiang Huan actually had a Pulse Shaping Pill, the Great Elder's face immediately fell, and he twisted his head slightly not to meet Jiang Huan's sarcastic gaze, and snorted in a low voice, "Hmph, even if you renew the meridians, your future achievements will definitely not be as good as Ping'er." ”

As soon as he heard others say that his son was not as good as other children, Jiang Huan also looked unhappy.

Hearing others mention Jiang Ping again, Jiang Chen smiled, then stood up and said, "As the Great Elder said, although Cousin Jiang Ping's talent cannot be said to be the best in ancient and modern times, it can also be said to be excellent. But Jiang Chen is not talented, how about he would like to make a bet with the Great Elder? If he loses the bet, the junior will voluntarily give up the position of the young master to Jiang Ping!"

At this time, the atmosphere in the restaurant was also mobilized by Jiang Chen's words, and everyone quieted down, wanting to hear what this young man under the age of thirteen was having.

"Oh, you want to bet with the old man? Haha, okay, tell me how you want to bet, what you want to bet!"

"Now that I am six months away from turning thirteen, it just so happens that it coincides with the family martial arts, so I bet that I will defeat Jiang Ping at this year's family martial arts meeting and become the champion of this martial arts! As for the bet, the junior has just said very clearly, it is my young master's position! But if the junior wins by luck, please ask the great elder not to disagree with his father in the future, how about it?"

After listening to the gambling contract, Jiang Huan immediately couldn't sit still, and subconsciously thought that this was Jiang Chen's young and frivolous, and he was arrogant.

No matter what Jiang Chen's martial arts cultivation talent was, just talking about Jiang Ping, even he had to praise himself, he had reached the sixth level of the spirit disciple at the age of fifteen, which was not much worse than his original self. "Chen'er must not mess around, you are still young, and you have not started to cultivate martial arts, this is not fair to you. ”

Ignoring his father's obstruction, Jiang Chen clenched his fists, his eyes gradually became sharper, and he said with fighting spirit, "Dad, there is no absolute fairness in this world, a good man is born in this world, and he should strive for self-improvement." If you don't sing, it's enough, and if you don't make a sound, it's higher!"

Seeing this, the Great Elder didn't wait for Jiang Huan to speak, and hurriedly responded. "Okay, this bet on the old man to fight with you, but this is really a little unfair to you, so let's do it, if you really win Ping'er in half a year, in the future, the old man will not only obey the decision made by the head of the family, but also the old man will lose to you a thousand-year-old fire lotus branch, what's the matter!"

"That junior is here, thank the Great Elder for his generosity. Jiang Chen smiled at the Great Elder and made a gesture.

"Hmph, rampant boy, his tone is not small at a young age. Although the treasure is good, I am afraid that you will not have the ability to take it at that time. ”

As soon as he heard that the gambling contract had been completed, Jiang Huan had to sigh secretly, thinking to himself, "Alas... Chen'er, this kid is young in the end, I hope that the loss in the future will not be too ugly, as for the position of the young master, as long as you work hard, you can win it back in the future. ”

Just when everyone present still hadn't recovered from this seemingly strange gambling contract, Jiang Chen continued, "Dad, the child won't eat it." I'm going to go back and take the Shaping Pulse Pill after a little recuperation, and I'm going to start my formal cultivation tomorrow. ”

Saying that, Jiang Chen left the main dining room, and everyone looked at the young man's gradually blurred back, and they were full of emotion for a while. "What a proud boy!"

Somehow, looking at Jiang Chen who was leaving, the Great Elder suddenly had a feeling that it was not too good.

"Hmph, it's just a pretentious little guy. No matter how hard he tries, he won't surpass Ping'er. I suppressed the strange feeling in my heart and comforted myself secretly.

After Jiang Chen left, the lunch ended in this silent atmosphere

After lunch, everyone dispersed, Jiang Hua looked at the eldest brother, frowned and said, "Big brother, Chen'er is too presumptuous, this bet is impossible for Chen'er to win, then Jiang Ping has been cultivating martial arts for more than three years, but Chen'er hasn't started cultivating yet, why didn't you stop it at that time." ”

Jiang Huan's face was gloomy and he was silent for a long time. "Hmph, didn't you see that old guy agreed so quickly, it's too late for me to stop it, since the bet has been made, then I can only resign myself to fate. But... Chen'er may really have a chance. Recalling Jiang Chen's various performances not long ago, Jiang Huan had a little hope in his heart.

God, isn't this world too crazy, this bet is obviously a loss, if I can win, I'd rather believe that sows can go up the tree! Jiang Hua was completely speechless, shook his head and left the main restaurant.

.........

After Jiang Chen returned to the room, he saw that a cup of steaming tea had been placed on the table, and smiled, "Lan'er, this girl is really sweet." "I have a better impression of Lan'er in my heart.

He took a sip of tea elegantly, sat cross-legged on the bed and gradually pondered.

"Jiang Ping's current strength is the sixth order of the spirit disciple, if I want to defeat him, I must at least reach the sixth order of the spirit disciple in half a year. ”

"My father mentioned before that the spiritual disciple stage is to open up the meridians of the whole body and improve one's physical fitness. And most of the meridians in my body are damaged now, it seems that I have to take the Shaping Pulse Pill as soon as possible, as for how to cultivate and open up the meridians after repairing the meridians, I will talk about it after consulting my father tomorrow. ”

After sorting out his thoughts, he took out the precious and meaningful Shaping Pulse Pill from his belt, was stunned at the Shaping Pulse Pill, and sighed secretly in his heart, "My cultivation path starts with you!", and then prepared to swallow the Shaping Pulse Pill.

"Huh? It's the Shaping Pulse Pill. Alas... It's a terrible thing to swallow like this!"

The sudden light sigh in his mind startled Jiang Chen, his face tightened, and he hurriedly jumped up and looked around, but he didn't even find a ghost, so he shouted in a low voice, "Who?

"Hehe, you little guy is so unqualified, the old man is kind enough to give you a reminder, but you are so disrespectful. ”

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Chen suddenly felt the pendant hanging on his chest tremble slightly, and then an illusory figure of an old man appeared in front of him out of thin air.

The old man was tall and thin, dressed in a green shirt. Just standing in the middle of the air. The years were full of wrinkles on his slightly pale countenance.

A long purple and red hair, as if to show that the old man's temper is not too good, the white beard is not too long, but it looks a little superior, at this time, his water-like eyes, but with a hint of smile, looking at Jiang Chen as if a craftsman has found a piece of jade.

After the old man appeared, even with Jiang Chen's mind, he was really startled. After calming down the shock in his heart slightly, Jiang Chen asked vigilantly, "Who are you, you... Where did it come from?"

"I really don't see it, you kid is not very old, and your sense of self-protection is so strong! As for where I came from, hehe, don't you already know. ”

Hearing the old man's slightly ridiculous answer, and then recalling the vibration of the dragon-shaped pendant before...

"You... Did you really come out of my pendant?" Jiang Chen's eyes widened, and he pointed at the old man incredulously.

"Hey, that's right. To be exact, the pendant around your neck is the old man's thing, but somehow it came to your hands, the old man was plotted by others, his body was destroyed, and he was lucky to leave a wisp of remnant soul, and this pendant is the old man's place to warm his soul. ”

I learned the general origin of this pendant from my father before, and now that I know that the old man in front of me is the real owner of this pendant, Jiang Chen can imagine that this old man should be a grandmaster or even a more powerful existence before his death.

"That's... You're not trying to take my pendant, are you? Anyway, all you have left is your soul, and I... I'm not afraid of you. Probably thinking that the old man was going to take away the treasure he had just arrived, Jiang Chen's face was full of pain, and he intermittently threatened the old man.

"Hahahaha, I really didn't expect it, now even your little doll dares to threaten the old man, you are really 'cute'! Don't worry, the old man still has to rely on the pendant to warm his soul, and every time I come out, it can't be too long." ”

After the old man finished speaking, he lowered his head and muttered slightly, and after a while, he slowly looked up at Jiang Chen and said solemnly, "The old man is already a dead man, but he doesn't want my mantle to be inherited and dissipate in this world, are you willing to worship the old man as a teacher?

Hearing that this powerful person was going to accept him as an apprentice, Jiang Chen's face was full of ecstasy, because he hadn't started cultivating yet, he was worried that there would be no one to guide him, and suddenly God gave him such a powerful master.

Without a moment of hesitation, Jiang Chen respectfully knelt on the ground, bowed to the old man, and said in his mouth, "The teacher is above, please accept the apprentice's worship!"

"Haha, okay, good boy, get up quickly. I really didn't expect that I also had a successor. Hahahaha!" the old man said and helped Jiang Chen up, his face full of relief.

Looking at the young man in front of him with satisfaction, the old man was a little melancholy for a while, once upon a time, he was also a vigorous and suave young man, but now, he has long been a person, and he secretly thought in his heart, "I hope this time, I didn't find the wrong person!"
