Chapter 4: Yecheng Jiang's Family

Today's Jiang family is a little unusual.

When Jiang Chen walked into the martial arts arena, many people looked at him in unison.

As the eldest son of the patriarch, the Jiang family's generation is the most talented, and Jiang Chen has long been accustomed to such attention.

But today is different.

Jiang Chen keenly read from everyone's eyes that it was different from usual.

Soon someone cleared his mind.

Seventh brother Jiang Yang trotted to Jiang Chen's side quickly, quietly pointed to a place with his finger, and whispered:

"Big brother, the ...... in the ancestral courtyard"

Jiang Chen's expression was stunned, and then he suddenly became stunned.

He knew who it was.

It is calculated that the child should be five years old, and he has reached the age when it is time to measure the spiritual root.

In the past four years, the ancestor personally took her with him, and never let her show her face in front of everyone, and it has been rumored in the clan that the ancestor was afraid that someone would harm her, so he always took her with him to protect her.

As for who this person is intending to do harm, we will know by looking at the reaction of everyone today.

Jiang Chen sneered in his heart, even if it was really as everyone thought, that child was another direct bloodline descendant of the ancestor who was exiled outside, and he and his father and mother would never attack a child.

It's just that with the ancestor's nervousness about that child, he shouldn't take her out at will, and now there are still three months before the day of this year's unified spirit root measurement within the clan, why did he bring her to the martial arts arena at this time?

There are people around him who are watching the show, but there are also more people who are looking at him worriedly.

Although Jiang Chen is not very old, because of his identity as the son of the patriarch and his own character and talent, he has a high prestige among the juniors.

However, at this moment, Jiang Chen did not have the panic and anger that everyone thought in his heart, he nodded calmly to everyone, and then walked towards the library where his eyes were focused.

The library pavilion is located on the east side of the martial arts arena, with all the exercises and books collected by the Jiang family for thousands of years, which is the foundation of the Jiang family's development, and non-Jiang clan members are not allowed to enter.

And even the Jiang clan members have many restrictions on entering the Library Pavilion, like Jiang Chen, even if their status is higher than that of ordinary children, they have to enter the first layer because of their limited cultivation.

Jiang Chen stepped over the high threshold and respectfully bowed to Elder Jiang San who was on duty at the door:

"Third grandfather. ”

The Third Elder nodded, looking at Jiang Chen's gaze with relief and complexity.

"Let's go in, the Ancestor is inside. ”

"Yes. ”

The young man who is as gentle as jade is calm and calm as usual, this is the style that the future head of the Jiang family should have.

It can be that the ancestor attaches great importance to that child, I don't know if the Jiang family will have a change in the future...... The three elders sighed silently in their hearts.

The first floor of the Library Pavilion was no stranger to Jiang Chen, because he soon saw Jiang Lao Zu on the corridor leading to the second floor, who was watching the portraits of the family's predecessors.

Unexpectedly, there was only one ancestor around, and the expected figure did not appear.

Jiang Chen quickly walked in front of Jiang Lao Zu and said respectfully: "Old Ancestor, great-grandson Jiang Chen has seen Old Ancestor. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Laozu did not turn around, but still faced the wall, looked at the portrait in front of him, and only said lightly:

"The dust is coming. ”

The voice is deep and the tone is soft, making people unable to distinguish between joy and anger.

Jiang Chen didn't think much about it, and bowed slightly: "If my father knew that the ancestor was here, he would definitely come immediately." ”

"You don't have to tell him," Old Ancestor Jiang finally turned around and looked at the Qingjun young man in front of him: "Sixth layer of Qi training?"

At the age of fourteen, the sixth layer of Qi cultivation was unmatched in the entire Yecheng.

Even though Jiang Chen has always been calm and self-controlled, he is young after all, and when he mentions cultivation, he still inevitably reveals half of a young man's self-satisfaction.

"Chen'er still needs to cultivate more. ”

I thought I could get the appreciation of the ancestor, but who knew that the ancestor just nodded calmly, and seemed to agree with the humble words he said casually, while also saying:

"The fire system is a single spirit root, and the spirit root is of high purity, it is normal to reach the sixth level of qi cultivation at this age. ”

The single spiritual root is the best spiritual root in ten thousand, in the entire Yecheng, except for Jiang Chen, there is no one, and the cultivation of other peers has long been left behind by themselves, the superior spiritual root, and the blessing of family glory, make Jiang Chen's heart full of pride.

Today's ancestors' words were like a basin of cold water, pouring them on his head, but they made him a little calmer.

"What the ancestor said is that the great-grandson must redouble his efforts and never stop cultivating. ”

Hearing this, seeing Jiang Chen's serious expression, sincere tone, and no resentment, Jiang Laozu finally showed a satisfied smile.

With this Lin'er, the next generation of my Jiang family is worry-free!

Jiang Chen saw the ancestor's expression clearly, his heart was relieved, and he was about to speak, but he heard a gentle footstep from the stairs......

Jiang Chen should be prestigious, only to see a girl dressed in a light blue dress, with a ribbon of the same color tied between her long hair, delicate eyebrows, and a slight baby fat on both sides of her cheeks, lightly descending from the ancient wooden ladder.

Her eyes were like a pool of spring water, clear and bright, the corners of her small mouth were slightly curved, and she was smiling politely at Jiang Chen.

Even if the girl looks completely different from the baby four years ago, at such an age, she appears in the library and has her ancestor by her side, and there is no one else except the child. Jiang Chen recognized his identity for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.

In terms of identity, he is the eldest son of the Jiang family, in terms of cultivation, he is a single spiritual root of the fire system, the sixteen-year-old sixth layer of Qi training, the first junior of the Jiang family, even so, he can't enter the second layer of the library pavilion.

But this Jiang Mu is only 5 years old, and even in order to measure the spiritual root, he can freely enter and exit the second floor of the Library Pavilion......

The ancestor made such an exception for her.

The strange mood was fleeting, Jiang Chen quickly collected his emotions, and immediately replied with the same polite and detached smile, and said calmly:

"I don't think this should be the ninth sister, I haven't seen you for many years, I am Jiang Chen, the first in the clan. ”

Although this is not the first time the two have met, the last time they met, Amu was still a one-year-old baby, held in the arms of Jiang Laozu, and only introduced Amu to everyone in the clan, but did not introduce a baby to the clan.

Therefore, although Ah Mu can remember Jiang Chen's face, he does not know his identity.

Jiang Laozu waited for Ah Mu to get down the wooden ladder, stretched out his hand to help her back, and after confirming that she was standing firmly, he introduced Ah Mu with a smile:

"Amu, this is your eldest brother, if you have something in the future, you can ask your eldest brother for help at any time. ”

Ah Mu nodded, as well-behaved as a real five-year-old girl, looked at Jiang Chen, and shouted softly:

"Big brother. ”

In addition to looking particularly well-behaved and cute, delicate and beautiful, this little girl does not seem to have anything else special.

Jiang Chen's heart was mixed for a while.

Not only is it fortunate that this Jiang Mu is not so arrogant and arrogant that everyone in the clan talks about, and it is difficult to get along, but he is also faintly worried about this, so the ancestor is afraid that he likes her more.

What Jiang Chen thought, Ah Mu didn't know at all, and he didn't care, this time he came to the library pavilion just to understand the world, and now that he got what he wanted, he was ready to leave.

Amu raised his head, pulled the sleeves of the old ancestor of Lalajiang, and said crisply: "Grandpa, I'm done." ”

Jiang Laozu was slightly stunned, then returned to normal, and touched Amu's little head with a smile: "Then let's go back." ”

Seeing the affectionate departure of the pair of ancestors and grandchildren, Jiang Chen looked at their backs, and his heart gradually became bitter.

Grandpa...... He is not qualified to call this title.
