Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 282 The Untamed 34

The Baifeng Mountain Night Hunt is a large-scale competition hosted by the Jin family. Its purpose is for the major families to demonstrate their military strength to the outside world. It is no different from the sect competitions in many cultivation novels. If you really want to pick out a difference, it is probably that this large-scale night hunting event also serves as entertainment.

Because this night hunting event was hosted by the Jin family, Jin Guangshan blatantly set his seat on a high platform, overlooking the other three major families.

The Lan and Nie families have never cared about these details. If the Jiang family had followed their previous style, they would not have paid attention to Jin Guangshan's hints. However, Wei Ying could not bear to see Jiang Xinxin suffer any grievance, so he made a scene immediately.

Wei Ying smiled and said, “Master Jin, after the fall of the Wen family, we are all one of the four great families. Why do you always do things in a unique way?”

Jin Guangshan pretended not to understand Wei Ying's implication and said casually, "Now among the four great families, only I, an old man, am still busy. You guys are all juniors, so what if I, an elder, give way to you?"

Wei Ying raised his eyebrows, "Oh, if Sect Master Jin hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have noticed. It turns out that all the Sect Masters of the Four Great Families, except for the Jin family, are young people. It shows that Sect Master Jin is old but not old at heart. He still doesn't want to let the young people share the family business with you."

Jin Guangshan's face suddenly turned ugly. To put it bluntly, he was just taking advantage of his seniority to do this today. After all, Lan Qiren and Jiang Fengmian were not there, and he was the only elder among the four great families present. So he concluded that the positions of the clan leaders of the other three families were inherited by the younger generations, so even if they were not happy, they would not make a scene.

But he miscalculated Wei Ying and didn't understand Jiang Xinxin's personality well enough.

It's true that Jiang Xinxin likes to be lazy and doesn't like to be in the limelight all the time, but she also can't stand people doing things secretly. Especially now that she sees that the people standing below greeting the guests are the couple Jin Zixuan and Jiang Yanli, and the person standing behind Jin Guangshan serving is Meng Yao, who has changed her name to Jin Guangyao, she disdains Jin Guangshan's little actions even more.

So Jiang Xinxin smiled and said, "We, the younger generation, have no right to interfere in Sect Master Jin's private affairs, but as the Sect Master of the Jiang Clan, I can still express my opinion on some things: If we choose another Immortal Supervisor, our Jiang Clan does not favor Sect Master Jin, but Second Young Master Lan."

Jin Guangshan's expression remained unchanged, but the jade pendant he was playing with was crushed to pieces by him. It was because his seat was several steps higher that the people below would not use their spiritual sense to investigate at this time, so only Jin Guangyao saw Jin Guangshan's miserable state.

Jin Guangshan paused, then put on a smile again and said to Jiang Xinxin, "My dear nephew, our two families are relatives by marriage. It is very inappropriate for you to not give face to my Jin family like this."

Lan Huan smiled and helped Jiang Xinxin out: "Thank you, Sect Master Jiang, for your confidence in Wangji. However, Wangji has always ignored the secular world and I'm afraid he can't take on the position of Immortal Supervisor. It would be a waste of Sect Master Jiang's good intentions."

Jiang Xinxin started chatting with Lan Huan, forgetting about Jin Guangshan. All the immortal sects had already entered the venue, so Jin Guangshan had to pretend to give an impassioned speech, which actually won a lot of cheers and support.

Then, Jin Guangshan faced an even more embarrassing moment. His nephew Jin Zixun, whom he had high hopes for, not only failed to make the top five in archery, but even when they were separated from the others to compete with their "prey", Wei Ying secretly used the spirit-summoning formation, causing Jin Zixun to return empty-handed.

Jin Zixun was also flattered too much by Jin Guangshan. He could be regarded as a direct descendant of the Jin family, but he was no match for Jin Zixuan, who was Jin Guangshan's direct son. However, his arrogance was far beyond that of the humble gentleman Jin Zixuan. Having gained nothing on the first day, Jin Zixun started to make a fuss and even brought people to try to besiege Wei Ying.

Jiang Xinxin, Lan Huan and Nie Mingjue are all clan leaders of the same family, so they would definitely not let the night hunting incident go unsolved, so they found a convenient place to talk and drink tea and chat. When one of her subordinates came to report that Wei Ying and Jin Zixuan had a fight, she was playing the piano and flute with Lan Huan and having a great time.

Don't be fooled by Nie Mingjue's rough appearance and his massive beard before he was 30, but he started supporting the Nie family when he was 13 or 14 years old, and he was brought up as a son of an aristocratic family. It would be fine if he wasn't good at music, but his upbringing was there, so he would definitely listen.

However, Lan Zhan and Nie Huaisang were present when Wei Ying fought with Jin Zixun, so Jiang Xinxin, Lan Huan and Nie Mingjue received the news one after another and rushed over together.

As a result, as soon as Jiang Xinxin went over, she heard Jin Zixuan calling Wei Ying "the son of a servant", and she was so angry that she laughed.

"What a great Jin Zixun! I finally realize how powerful the Jin family is!"

As soon as Jiang Xinxin spoke, the crowd surrounding Jin Zixun and Wei Ying automatically parted to make way for them. When Jin Zixun saw that it was Jiang Xinxin, he immediately shrank back in fear. Even Jin Zixuan, who had also rushed over, was too lazy to watch him.

Jiang Xinxin greeted Jin Zixuan with a smile, saying that today’s incident would not spread to the entire Jin and Jiang families, but would be limited to Jin Zixuan and Wei Ying.

Jin Zixuan directly sent a message to Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying: "I will go to the old man's private vault later that evening and try to get more compensation for Ah Xian."

Wei Ying directly accepted Jin Zixuan's decision, and Jiang Xinxin directly pulled Wei Ying behind her and said to Jin Zixuan: "So that you, Jin Zixuan, know that Wei Ying is the disciple of our previous leader of the Jiang family. By analogy, it is the relationship between your leader Jin and Jin Zixuan."

"Although you, Jin Zixun, have been favored by Sect Leader Jin for a while, can you still become the Sect Leader of the Jin Clan in the future?"

"According to what you said, your status is always lower than Wei Ying's. Who gave you the courage to yell at Wei Ying?!"

Jiang Xinxin's gaze was not something a mere Jin Zixuan could bear. He was so nervous that he kept swallowing his saliva and sweating all over. His ugly appearance made Wei Ying not want to continue to pester her.

However, after the first day, Jin Guangshan stipulated that no one could use formations or talismans to "take shortcuts." Although his words were directed at Wei Ying, in fact, most people thought that the Jin family was stingy.

Later on, Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying took Jin Zixuan and Jiang Yanli to travel around. Jiang Erya, who came with them, always complained that Wei Ying was useless and actually asked her, a girl, to lead the team.

Wei Ying only wanted to stick with Jiang Xinxin, and Jiang Yanli asked Jin Zixuan to move with them just to help them cover up in front of outsiders. Jiang Erya knew this too, and her complaints were just to gain more benefits for herself. Everyone knew it.
