Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1550 The Untamed 30

As expected, Jiang's disciples stole the limelight and dominated the first two rounds, so Jin Guangshan couldn't help but make some moves in this free monster catching competition.

Jiang Cheng knew Jin Guangshan's plan, but he didn't care at all. Jiang's disciples had already made a big splash in the first two competitions, so the outcome of this final match was really not important at all.

So Jiang Cheng waved his hand and headed straight for the highest peak. He planned to find a shady place there to laze around, so that he could have a bird's eye view of the whole situation and also make it easier for Lan Zhan to find him.

Wei Ying and other disciples were like a dragon entering the sea and a tiger entering the forest. They began to arrange various tactics and tried to find new ways to play. Even though everyone knew that this was just a game and there was no need to compete for the first place, they still couldn't bring shame to the Jiang family.

Meng Yao took advantage of the time when everyone was acting separately to create an opportunity for Jin to come over. Sure enough, Jin Guangshan still hadn't given up on his plan to have him return to the Jin family so that the Jin family could seize his glory.

Hearing the confidant sent by Jin Guangshan saying that he would bring his mother Meng Shi's coffin back to the Jin family land for burial and that he would place a tablet in the Jin family ancestral hall, Meng Yao was not moved at all and even wanted to laugh.

Jin Guangshan was really careless. It seemed that no matter how great his achievements were, the other party's impression of him always stayed on Jin Zixuan's birthday, when he took his mother's relics to Jinlintai, wanting to trace his ancestry, but was kicked down the high, long, cold stairs by Jin Guangshan.

In fact, Meng Yao originally planned to agree to it hastily, and while playing along with Jin Guangshan, find out more information to make it easier for Jiang to deal with it.

But Jiang Cheng had obviously been eyeing Jin Guangshan for a long time. He even knew that the wife of Sect Leader Qin, who was his absolute confidant, was cuckolded by Jin Guangshan on their wedding night, thus cuckolding Sect Leader Qin, who was said to be his absolute confidant. So Meng Yao felt that she should not overestimate her own abilities.

What's more, given Jin Guangshan's contempt and vigilance towards him, he felt that it was impossible for him to obtain any confidential information.

Meng Yao's refusal would of course make Jin Guangshan angry and humiliated, but unfortunately Jin Guangshan still had his brains intact and realized that it was not a good idea to attack Meng Yao now, so he could only watch Meng Yao leave leisurely.

After Meng Yao left, he engaged in a relaxed and comfortable night hunting activity. Not all monsters were smelly. Some monsters tasted better than ordinary wild beasts. This was one of his biggest gains after coming to Jiang's.

On the other side, not long after Jiang Yanli left the main force, she was invited over by Madam Jin, who had been sending people to keep an eye on her.

After all, Madam Jin had a very good relationship with the former wife of the Jiang family's leader, Yu Ziyuan. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Yu Ziyuan to easily bypass Jiang Fengmian and directly work with Madam Jin to arrange the engagement between Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan.

Mrs. Jin was a very tactful person. With just a few words, she made Jiang Yanli get rid of her annoyance at being suddenly disturbed, and she calmly chatted with her about family matters.

But Mrs. Jin's mind was almost entirely focused on arranging for her only son Jin Zixuan to marry Jiang Yanli, so it was understandable that she turned the topic to marriage.

Madam Jin pointed at Jin Zixuan who was standing not far away with his back to them, and said to Jiang Yanli with a hint of anger: "My son does have a bit of an awkward temper, but he is absolutely upright. Not only can I, as a mother, guarantee this to you, but even the people around him who know Zixuan can guarantee this."

Jiang Yanli certainly knew Madam Jin's intention. Although she felt a little annoyed and had a lower opinion of her aunt, she still remembered the kindness Madam Jin had shown her over the years.

Jiang Yanli smiled distantly and said to Madam Jin with all her heart, "My aunt's only son has a good character. But no matter how wrong things were before, it is now a fait accompli. Besides, Jiang's situation has also changed, so I have decided not to marry outside the family in this life."

Mrs. Jin was horrified and quickly advised: "Ah Li, it's not that your aunt wants to belittle outsiders. If you don't marry outside, your future husband will definitely have to be a son-in-law. But you also know that this is the way the world is. Even if you are the only legitimate daughter of the four great families, if you want to marry a son-in-law, it is not a simple concession!"

If Jiang Yanli continued to resist, Mrs. Jin would even tell her the fundamental reason why she chose a husband with such a bad character like Jin Guangshan, and advise Jiang Yanli not to give in easily!

But Jiang Yanli sighed and said, "Aunt, Ah Cheng will most likely not get married. Even though the Jiang family still has close branches and it seems that there is no shortage of heirs, and my parents will not care which branch of the family will end up in the hands of the Jiang family in the future, Ah Cheng is too dazzling. The Jiang family has reached an unspoken understanding that my offspring will definitely be the next generation of the Jiang family's head."

From Jiang Yanli's determined look, Madam Jin saw that she did not show any signs of lying or evasion. There was even a moment when Madam Jin wanted to tell Jiang Yanli to just let Jin Zixuan marry into the Lotus Pier. After all, although the Jin family seemed powerful now, in fact, it could only rank third among the new four great families, only slightly better than the declining Nie family of Qinghe, and was really not as good as the Yunmeng Jiang family, which was actually ranked first.

If the child of Jin Zixuan and Jiang Yanli could really inherit the Yunmeng Jiang family, Mrs. Jin felt that she would wake up laughing in her dreams!

But that wasn't possible. She had spent most of her life's energy in the Jin family. If the Jin family didn't fall into the hands of her own bloodline, she would die with regrets. What's more, Jin Guangshan had many illegitimate sons and daughters. If she and Jin Zixuan stepped back, Jin Guangshan would immediately promote those illegitimate sons to fill their positions.

She really couldn't tolerate such a thing happening!

Jin Zixuan felt awkward for a while, but finally came forward to greet Jiang Yanli: "Good morning, mother. Good morning, Miss Jiang."

Jiang Yanli nodded and bent her knees slightly. After all, Jin Zixuan had bent over to a degree that was beyond what he usually did to his peers. She had no choice but to be more serious. "Hello, Mr. Jin."

Mrs. Jin smiled and said, "My useless son has finally made a lot of progress. This shows that the Sun Shooting Campaign did have some benefits. At least those who survived have gained a lot of training."

Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan nodded in agreement. Mrs. Jin looked at the perfect couple in front of her and wished she could get them engaged today. Even though Jiang Yanli had explained everything clearly, she still wanted to give it a try, so she smiled and prepared to retreat.

Mrs. Jin said to Jin Zixuan in a serious manner, "Zixuan, please entertain Miss Jiang well. You young people must have something to say before, so I, an old lady, will not disturb you."
