NOVEL NEXT Chapter 48 The competition begins
Jiang Lai Auction House, top floor.
"Ancestor!"
Under a passionate and emotional call, Jiang Ling knelt straight in front of Jiang Chen.
He was obviously an uncle who looked dozens of years older than Jiang Chen, but his kneeling speed was not slow at all, and Jiang Chen could not even react.
He was still thinking about what Jiang Ling wanted to do when he called him up, but the next second Jiang Ling knelt down.
"You...how did you know?"
Jiang Chen was shocked by his kneeling. At the same time, he couldn't figure out how he was exposed.
If he remembers correctly, there is no statue of him in the family.
"Because of your black card.
The black cards issued by our family are all recorded in detail, and behind each black card there is a unique icon that only we can identify.
The most important thing is that we have recycled all the remaining black cards hundreds of years ago.
There is only the last one left, and there has been no news, and this one is the one in your hand, ancestor. "
At this point, Jiang Chen understood.
Although few people knew about the news that he had become a god, Jiang Lai knew about it, and he must have kept the news down.
"Okay, then you asked me to come up just to kowtow to me?
Tell me, what's the matter with you? "
Jiang Chen asked.
"Ancestor, to tell you the truth, my grandson really has something to ask you to do.
You know, our Jiang family has a hereditary title of marquis. Although it is not as good as the Zhu family and the Duke's Palace, it is still famous in the empire.
But now, the only assets left of our Jiang family are this auction house..."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Chen frowned.
"Since you said so, there must be a reason for it, right?
Tell me, if someone bullies you, I will naturally help you. "
"Yes! Ancestor." Jiang Ling became excited again, "The reason why our family has fallen to this point is because of the damn White Tiger Duke's Mansion!"
"Oh?" Jiang Ling's words made Jiang Chen interested, "Tell me more about it."
"The two largest families in the Star Luo Empire, the Dai family royal family and the Zhu family, the other families basically live dependent on these two families, but our Jiang family is not.
Because ancestor Jiang Lai once left an ancestral precept, saying that the Dai family royal family is just a bunch of wine bags and rice bags, and the Zhu family is a group of sycophants. Our Jiang family does not need to rely on others, and we do not disdain to associate with them.
Therefore, our Jiang family has always been an outlier independent of these two major families.
This has not been a big problem all this time. After all, with the strength of our Jiang family, they don't dare to touch us easily.
But ever since the war with the Sun and Moon Empire began, the Duke's Palace had begun to target them.
Under the arrangements of the Duke's Palace, half of the military expenditures for the war between the Empire and the Sun and Moon Empire were funded by our Jiang family, and our Jiang family was emptied out.
The originally huge family property now only has a small auction house left.
If it weren't for the fact that our current family head still holds the title of earl, we might not even have this auction house anymore. "
As he spoke, tears of reluctance flowed from Jiang Ling's eyes.
In the collision of assets and power, they lost miserably.
"Good, good! What a ducal palace."
Jiang Chen clenched his fists tightly, with anger still flowing in his eyes.
Speaking of which, the reason why the Jiang family is like this must be because of him.
Because he had specifically mentioned various things about Dai Mubai and the others to Jiang Lai before his ascension, and wanted Jiang Lai to avoid contact with them as much as possible to avoid triggering Tang San's passive skills.
Now it seems that it was a bit self-defeating.
"It's okay, now that I'm back, I will naturally seek justice for you.
I will stay in Xingluo City this month. I want you to calculate all the losses of my Jiang family within this month.
No matter how much I lose, they have to pay me back ten times! "
The Soul Master Competition is about to begin, and Jiang Chen may not be free during this period of time.
Because of system tasks, he must win the championship. However, after the competition, his schedule can be as long as he wants!
"Yes! I will definitely calculate it as soon as possible, just waiting for the ancestor to check it!"
Seeing Jiang Chen's domineering figure, Jiang Ling was so excited that tears filled his eyes and he nodded vigorously.
"Well, I live on the top floor of the Star Emperor Hotel. No matter what happens, you can send someone to find me.
You probably haven't forgotten my name, right? "
"How dare your grandson forget? Your name will always be engraved in the hearts of all our descendants of the Jiang family.
You are the only ancestor of our Jiang family who has truly become a god - Jiang Chen! "
Hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded slightly and leaned over to help Jiang Ling up.
"Okay, then I'll leave. If anything happens, send someone to find me."
After saying that, Jiang Chen took Xue Lan's hand and disappeared in front of Jiang Ling.
The two of them returned to the front desk on the first floor, took away all their clothes, and then returned to the Star Emperor Hotel.
"Let's just stop here for today. After tomorrow's game is over, I will take you to other places to play."
Jiang Chen's current mood is really not suitable for playing with Xue Lan anymore, if Dai Hao appears in front of him now.
Jiang Chen can guarantee that he will make Dai Hao's death painless.
"Well, it's already good that you can buy so many clothes with me.
Just wait until you finish this period of time, we still have a lot of time in the future. "
Xuelan nodded, and while talking, she touched Jiang Chen's head, as if she wanted to calm Jiang Chen's emotions.
"Well, there's still a lot of time."
……
The next morning, today is the day when the Soul Master Competition begins.
According to the competition system, today is the seven-on-seven knockout round of the preliminary round. As the champion of the previous competition, Shrek Academy is naturally the first to appear.
Jiang Chen and his opponents were the Tianling Senior Academy representative team from the Tianling Empire.
Because Jiang Chen had already announced the reasons to Xuanzi in advance, Wang Yan deliberately wrote Jiang Chen's name in every scene when arranging them.
"For this first game, your Shrek reserve team will take part.
As Shrek Academy's first competition this year, you must win well for me. "
The game is about to start, and Wang Yan is in the preparation room, cheering on the seven people.
"Don't worry! You're guaranteed to win!"
Wang Dong looked confident, and she seemed to have secured victory before the battle even started.
Jiang Chen was not as exaggerated as Wang Dong. He was very calm, while Huo Yuhao seemed a little nervous.
"Okay, it's a good thing that you have confidence, but you must not be careless.
Come on, let's play! "
After saying that, Wang Yan led the seven people towards the arena outside.
At this moment, the word 'Shrek' was constantly ringing in the huge arena.
Countless spectators were shouting at the top of their lungs, looking forward to the appearance of the previous king!
"Okay, the members of Tianling Advanced Soul Master Academy have arrived.
At this highly anticipated moment, let us now invite the Shrek Academy representative team, the number one academy in mainland China and the true kings of the academy, to appear! "
