Li Xiaochen glanced over and saw an old man with an old age, supported by Mrs. Hua and Zhuo Daochun, staggering to the front desk.

"You can't take away the Jiang family's treasure. The old man closed the box and put it in his hand, not polite to Jiang Mi'er at all.

When Jiang Ming and the elders saw him, they hurriedly asked, "Venerable, why did you come here?"

Most of the people present were shocked when they heard the title of "Venerable".

Among the four great families, generally speaking, the elder is second only to the head of the family.

But those who have stepped down from the position of elder and respected are given the title of "Venerable" at the discretion of the head of the family.

His Holiness is above the Elders. However, this title is not something that can be obtained casually.

At present, in the Jiang family, only this Protector Venerable has obtained this title.

Due to his old age and frailty, the Protector Venerable could no longer serve as an elder and had retired for many years. Legend has it that he found a secluded mountain plain, lived in seclusion, and lived a leisurely life.

Who would have thought that he would come to Jiang's house in person today.

Seeing that the situation had changed, Melzak quietly gestured to the members of the shadow department not to act rashly for the time being.

Jiang Junning and Jiang Mi'er also saluted and greeted this Protector Venerable, with great respect.

Li Xiaochen looked at his white beard as long as his chest. There are more wrinkles on his face than Jiang Ming. I don't know how great he is, but I think he must have a high status.

The Venerable Protector glanced coldly at the elders and elders in the conference room: "Hmph, you guys are too talkative! Are you pretending to be a family wine? With such an important position in charge, you can choose whoever you say?" It's like child's play. All of them are ridiculously naïve!"

After reprimanding them, the Protector Venerable said to Melzak again: "Today, the old man wants to uncover a major matter related to the candidate of the Jiang family. Since Minister Mei is here, let's sit and listen. However, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized. Please also keep the Jiang family a secret, and don't leak what you have seen and heard today. ”

Melzak also returned the salute and said, "Of course. ”

The Protector Venerable nodded, took out an old notebook from his robe, and said in public: "This is the private diary of the former head Jiang Ruoli. The handwriting inside, I have identified, is indeed his handwriting. Elders are invited to take a look. ”

After saying that, he opened one of the pages, handed it to the elders to circulate, and said to the others, "I can't let you check them one by one. If you have any doubts about this, you can come and see for yourself afterwards. If you are still not sure, we can ask a professional to do a handwriting testimonial. ”

The Protector Venerable was even older than Jiang Ruoli and Jiang Ming. In terms of generation, he is a figure of Jiang Ruoli's grandfather's generation.

He is known as a prestige in the Jiang family. Of course, what is said is also very credible.

Although the elders had only read one page, their faces had all changed.

"It is unethical to look through other people's diaries. But this matter is related to the future of the Jiang family, so the old man is offended. The Protector took back his notebook and read one of the journals with his own mouth.

"It's been seven years since I came back from Japan. I will never forget Minako. Her smile still lingers in my mind. One of the things I regret the most in my life is that I failed to marry her and let down such a woman with deep affection. ”

The word "Japan" touched Li Xiaochen's heart.

Combined with what the Protector Venerable said earlier, "a major event related to the candidate of the Jiang family", he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Jiang Mi'er.

Li Xiaochen faintly felt that this matter had a major relationship with her.

Jiang Mi'er just smiled faintly at him, as if she had expected things to go in this direction.

The Venerable Protector turned the page again and read it out word by word: "I have never been so happy since my first wife passed away. Today I adopted a very lovely orphan. She's clever and likable. Especially those big watery eyes, when I saw her for the first time, it reminded me of Minako. Yes, just because of this, I adopted the poor little girl. ”

"Maybe it's to fill the void and regret in my heart. I lied to the elders by claiming that she was the biological flesh and blood of my deceased wife. For some reasons, I have been fostered in someone else's home. Now I can finally get it back. Believe it or not, I've decided to nurture this smart girl. Oh, and I gave her a nice name, Honey. Jiang Mi'er, that's a good name, isn't it?"

As soon as this diary was read, it caused an uproar.

Who would have thought that Jiang Mi'er was actually an orphan secretly adopted by Jiang Ruoli outside?

But they soon thought again: Since Jiang Mi'er was adopted by the previous head of the family, she has no blood relationship with the Jiang family. Among the four great families in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, none of them would choose an "outsider" to be the leader. This position of head of the house can never be passed on to her.

Mrs. Hua raised the corners of her mouth contemptuously and sneered at Jiang Mi'er. That Xuan Xuan's expression was full of disdain and contempt, and he seemed to say: "You are a wild baby who doesn't even know who your parents are, and you are also worthy of competing for the position of the head of the family?"

Great Elder Jiang Ming was in a hurry to find Mrs. Hua, but he didn't see her. Seeing that Jiang Mi'er was about to become the master, he was anxious.

On the one hand, I am afraid that Jiang Mier will really become the master. On the other hand, I was afraid that she would break her word and become fat, so she would not give up her seat to Jiang Junning if she became the master.

But since he saw Mrs. Hua helping the Protector Venerable to come in, he had made up his mind.

Now that the Protector Venerable spoke amazingly, revealing Jiang Mi'er's life experience, Jiang Ming knew that they had the upper hand again.

Jiang Mi'er is just a wild seed that Jiang Ruoli picked up outside, and she is not qualified to inherit the family at all.

Jiang Ming did have an impression of the things recorded in the diary. At the beginning, Jiang Ruoli insisted that Jiang Mier was the child born to him and his ex-wife.

Everyone was skeptical. But since the head of the house is sure, it seems that the words are conclusive, and there will be no falsehood.

And after so many years, people have basically forgotten such a thing.

I don't want this thick diary, but it subverts people's understanding of Jiang Mier.

The state of affairs, which had previously been "decided on the overall situation," took a sharp turn for the worse in an instant, and was completely reversed.

Jiang Junning was also quite stunned by this. He originally thought that Jiang Mier was not born to Mrs. Hua, but after all, she was still his half-sister.

I really didn't expect things to turn out like this.

Li Xiaochen walked up to Jiang Mi'er and asked in a low voice in her ear, "Is this true?"

Jiang Mi'er smiled slightly: "True and false, fake and true." I said that I was born to my father, Jiang Ruoli. Can you believe it?"

Li Xiaochen looked at Jiang Mi'er's eyes steadily: "I believe it!"

Jiang Mi'er pouted: "Fool, do you believe anything I say?"

At this time, the Protector Venerable raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, flipped the notebook back, and picked out another diary entry: "I already feel that my time is short. If you don't establish the next leader, I'm afraid there will be no chance. More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. Xiao Mi'er has also grown into a slim beauty. Her qualifications and understanding are outstanding. People are also smart and intelligent. Should I pass on the title to her?"

The Venerable Protector turned a few more pages back and read: "Jun Ning is a talent, capable and steady, and he is also a rare talent. It was indeed a good decision for him to succeed him. But I still prefer Mi'er, and in front of the elders, I said that I want to make her the head of the house. Maybe I'm such a headstrong person......"

Thinking of this, the Protector Venerable paused and said, "The matter has a clear context. In the diary, Jiang Ruoli, the previous leader, has explained very clearly. Jiang Mier has no blood relationship with the Jiang family. She is not qualified to inherit the head of the family. It's just that Jiang Ruoli dotes on her, so he unfairly passed on the position of head to her. ”

The Protector Venerable looked back at Jiang Mi'er and asked, "What else do you have to say?"

Jiang Mi'er said, "His Holiness only told part of the truth. There's an even bigger hidden story. If I allow, I would like to take this opportunity to make them public so that everyone can judge for themselves. ”

Jiang Ming heard that something was wrong from her words, and hurriedly said to the Protector Venerable: "Venerable, don't listen to her rumors to confuse everyone! Don't believe it!"

Jiang Mi'er smiled faintly: "Great Elder, what I said is true or false, everyone has their own judgment." Do you have anything unsavory that you are afraid of me saying?"

"Nope. The old man behaves uprightly and sits up straight, how can there be anything unseemly?" Although he said this, Jiang Ming was still a little weak-hearted.

If Jiang Mi'er was allowed to expose him, it would be very bad.

The Protector Venerable pondered for a moment and nodded, "Old decay has always adhered to the concept of justice. Jiang Mi'er, if you have any secrets, just say it. If it is true, the old man and the elders of the Jiang family present will naturally approve it. But if you lie a lot, don't blame the old man for being unkind. ”

Jiang Mi'er nodded to him: "Very good." That's what I want from you. ”

Jiang Ming hurriedly said, "Venerable, don't ......"

"Needless to say. The Protector Venerable raised his hand and forbade him to continue.

Jiang Ming had no choice but to close his mouth angrily, thinking about what way to find a way to stop Jiang Mi'er's mouth.

"You must be weird. Who is Minako mentioned in the diary?" Jiang Mi'er looked around at everyone and told the story: "It started twenty-one years ago. 's father, Jiang Ruoli, traveled thousands of miles to Japan in order to carry out a confidential mission. At a shrine where a coming-of-age ceremony is held, he meets a beautiful girl. The girl's name is Minako Mizuki......"
