C44 Jiang Father and Daughter
After this round of drinking, the drinking crowd could be said to have mixed feelings.
He was extremely envious of the two Patriarchs of Yao Song's that had successfully built a relationship with Elder Chen and failed to perform during the banquet.
As for the City Lord, Mo Wuji, he was displeased. Elder Chen had put him, the true City Lord, aside, but he had fought with Lu Xiong passionately. This made the Lu Family displeased, so how could he be happy?
As for the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Tianfang, his emotions were a bit complicated.
Ever since the incident with Lufeng peeping, Lu Xiong had mentioned it. He had allowed Jiang Xin to marry Lufeng, and the two families were able to achieve Qin Jin's goal. Wasn't that supposed to be a joyous occasion?
However, Jiang Tianlei believed that his daughter was a proud daughter of heaven, with outstanding talent. She was also known as the most talented girl in the city, and was the target of countless young talents.
On the other hand, Lu Feng, compared to his father Lu Xiong, was a standard son of a tiger, father of a dog.
Therefore, Jiang Tianzhu rejected Lu Xiong's proposal without any hesitation. He wholeheartedly wanted to get rid of Lu Feng and wash away the shame of the Jiang Clan.
In the end, the heavens' will messed with people. Lu Feng returned unharmed from the Greencloud Mountain Range, and even unexpectedly obtained a profound cultivation base. He actually killed the City Lord's Mansion's Fourth Elder, Mo Wuya, in public.
After that, in the Lu Family Competition, he showed off his prowess by killing the Lu Family's number one genius Lu Yi and Lu Zhen, the Lu Family's third young mistress. Both of them had their right arms crippled.
It could be said that the current Lu Feng was already the strongest among the younger generation of Greencloud City. His prestige was not any weaker than his own daughter, and he was no longer that good-for-nothing playboy from before.
Now, Lu Xiong had even successfully matched with the person in charge of the Heavenly Star Academy's disciple recruitment, outer sect elder Chen Yanghui. That was a late stage Yellow Rank expert, an existence that could instantly take out an entire city.
With such a thick leg in his arms, it would be difficult for the Lu family to not develop.
Seeing that the Lu Clan was about to rise, but his own Jiang Clan seemed to have no chance of making a comeback, and even more so had the possibility of becoming a laughingstock.
Sigh, it was all his fault for thinking wrongly back then, which resulted in the current awkward situation.
Jiang Tianzhu returned to the Jiang manor with a slightly depressed expression on his face.
"Father, you're back?
It seems that you are a bit worried, is it because this night's feast was not smooth? "
As soon as he arrived home, he met Jiang Xin, who had been waiting for him for a long time.
Hearing his daughter's gentle words, Jiang Tianxing's heart softened. That's right. No matter how strong the Lu family is, what does it have to do with me? Don't forget, the daughter of I, Jiang Tianxing, is still the number one genius of Qingyun City!
"Xin'er, it's so late, why aren't you going to rest?
After all, tomorrow is the day that Heavenly Star Academy will begin selecting their disciples. "
Jiang Tianfang said softly to Jiang Xin.
"Father, your daughter was worried, so she stayed here to wait for father's return.
Father, looking at you, could it be that you have encountered some trouble? "
Even though Jiang Xin was a girl, she still possessed a heroic and unyielding character. When she asked Jiang Tianxing about it, it was only natural that she wanted to help her father solve his problems.
"Oh, Xin'er, you're so considerate."
Jiang Tianfang sighed and told his daughter all the details of the banquet.
Finally, Jiang Tianxuan sighed and said, "Xin'er, I'm sorry for you. I only considered Lu Feng's reputation as trash for a long time, but who would've thought that there would come a day when the salted fish would have a comeback. For nothing did you miss out on a good marriage."
"Heh heh, Father, so it turns out that you are troubled about this matter.
Tell me, what is to come cannot escape.
If I am fated to be with Lu Feng, then we will still end up together. If we are not fated, then wouldn't your worries here be a waste of time?
Rest assured, father, your daughter is not the kind of person who cannot be married off.
It's just that I have something that I don't understand, and I still need Father to help me look into it. "
Jiang Xin smiled sweetly, revealing the charming side of her daughter as she consoled Jiang Tianxing.
Hearing his daughter's words, Jiang Tianzhu's mood improved. He was curious as to what problem Jiang Xin had encountered, so he quickly replied, "Oh?" What could possibly trouble the talented daughter of my Jiang family?
"Tell me, your father."
"Father!"
Jiang Xin protested coquettishly, hugging Jiang Tianlei's arm even more naturally.
"Alright, alright. I won't tease you anymore. Hurry up and get down to business."
The moment Jiang Xin started acting coquettishly, Jiang Tianfang immediately raised his hand in surrender, begging for mercy.
"Father, this is what happened. That day, I met Lu Feng on the business street, the day that Lu Feng killed Mo Wuji.
At that time, I thought that Lu Feng should apologize to me, so I came to Lu Feng.
However, Lu Feng's reaction was very strange. He only said one thing: he was drunk that day and didn't know anything.
He then turned around and left.
Father, can you help me analyze the events of that day? "
Jiang Xin said seriously as she let go of Jiang Tianfang's arm.
Hearing Jiang Xin's words, Jiang Tianxing's eyes narrowed as he said, "Xin`er, your words make me feel that something is amiss.
Think about it, that Lu Feng from that day had a terrible reputation. He was a well-known piece of trash in the Greencloud City.
How in the world did a good-for-nothing like this manage to hide himself from so many guards of my Jiang family while he was drunk and come to your room alone?
Also, isn't the City Lord's Mansion reacting a little too quickly to this matter? "
Jiang Tian had indeed thought over what had happened since that day.
However, in Jiang Tianfang's opinion, the Lu family had a long history as the Greencloud City's number one family, and the City Lord's Mansion as a rising power had a shallow foundation. If it wasn't for their official status, they wouldn't have been able to contend against the Lu family.
In this kind of situation, the engagement of a genius daughter to the City Lord's young master was a good thing for both families. They could join hands to fight against the Lu family.
In reality, this was what the two families had done before. It was just that after that incident, this alliance, which was not made in the form of a clause, gradually showed signs of dissipating.
However, the City Lord's Mansion had received the news so quickly, and they had even made the worst decision. These two points of doubt made Jiang Tianxing feel like he could not wrap his head around it.
However, Jiang Tianlei was both embarrassed and furious after that. He did not consider the consequences carefully and decided to force Lu Feng into the Green Cloud Mountain. That was why Lu Feng had been reborn after that.
Now that Jiang Xin had brought the matter up again, Jiang Tianxing had no choice but to think it through.
"Father, in that case, there seems to be a possibility that we have overlooked.
If, after Lu Feng got drunk, there was an expert who held him hostage, avoided the guards of his family, and snuck into my Jiang family, this was the result.
Father, do you think that possibility exists? "
Jiang Xin said to Jiang Tianxing with a frown.
