Chapter 178: Magnates bow down, call me lord (thanks to Lost Sheep 2017 for the reward support)_2
If Pei Jinye had not Devoured Jiang Qingcang before and gained some knowledge about the Jiang family’s distribution, his current visit would be no different from his initial approach—killing his way in directly.
However, without the assistance of the Old Gods Association, it would have been very difficult for him to escape unscathed.
Even when he Devoured Jiang Suhu’s memories, it was clear that even though Jiang Suhu was the grandson Jiang Qingcang cherished the most, he waspletely ignorant about the trueyout of the Jiang family.
In the end, it was thanks to the “memory intelligence” provided by Jiang Qingcang himself that Pei Jinye could so easily seed.
As for exposure…
Pei Jinye had thought about it, but it was inevitably not a concern for now.
The entire Jiang Family Second House revolved around Jiang Qingcang as the pivot. It could be said that Jiang Qingcang was the supreme ruler here, and no one dared to defy his will, at least not openly.
He had stayed secluded in the Internal Court for two years, barely interacting with anyone outside. ording to his public statements, he had already handed over the Jiang family to the next generation.
Of course, that was just lip service.
As of now, the Jiang family has been under his puppet-master control!<div>
In the past, Pei Jinye had taken advantage of the Old Gods Association, before eventually abandoning them for the Federation Investigation Team.
But now, he had experienced too much.
He was all too aware of the importance of cultivation resources…
So!
“The wool of the Jiang family must be sheared!”
He stood in front of the ancestral hall’s portraits with furrowed brows.
“How can I extract this sword?”
Early in the morning.
In the vast backyard, only one aged figure could be seen practicing boxing slowly, while the hidden guards in the vicinity had all withdrawn hundreds of meters away.
In other words, within this hundred meters, there was only “Jiang Qingcang.”
The Proficiency of the y of Five Animals had been raised to Breaking the Limit level.
Pei Jinye was bold and skilled.
He directly “moved into the magpie’s nest.”
Eating precious medicated meals, using the resources of a wealthy family, being served by top beauties.
Of course…
To outsiders, all these actions were justmon practice.
The effects of the medicated meals were powerful, and the practice of the y of Five Animals, assisted by Proficiency, was bing more refined.
Pei Jinye distinctly felt his body undergoing a transformation.<div>
He swiped to bring up the attribute panel.
Vitality and Physical strength had increased by as much as seven points fromst night to this morning, although the rate of increase had slowed, it was still increasing.
Indeed, the resources of a wealthy family were desirable.
He returned to his room, waved away the young girls who wanted to attend to his bath, and Pei Jinye meticulously checked the room’s facilities to ensure safety. Only then did he restore his body.<div>
Within ten hours, he had consumed two bowls of expensive medicated supplement.
Under the absorption and digestion by “Twelve Lotuses”, “Four Seasons Seal Spring and Autumn Chapter”, and “y of Five Animals”, Pei Jinye’s physique had already undergone noticeable changes.
He had grown two centimeters taller, and the muscles on his arms had bulged considerably.
Pei Jinye fell into contemtion.
“ording to normal people’s absorption rates, the effects of such medicated meals would require at least a week’s time to refine… But I can almost digest thempletely in two days.”
“Is it because “Twelve Lotuses” improved my absorption?”
“No, not just “Twelve Lotuses”, but also the Spring Chapter… This is not a simple case of one plus one equals two!”
Pei Jinye’s eyes shone with sharpness.
Even though his journey was fraught with peril.
He had no regrets.
If he hadn’t joined the Bronze Association, he most likely wouldn’t have caught Teacher Chang’s attention.
But by doing so, he would also have missed out on a wealth of resources led by “Twelve Lotuses”.
“It’s said that life from birth is a form of cultivation. If one fears everything and cowers, what’s the point of living!”<div>
“What’s the use of thinking so much?”
“If you can fight, kill; if you can’t, theny low! Isn’t the best way to solve a problem to nip it in the bud?”
Pei Jinyey back, soaking in the precious medicinal bath that was concocted for nurturing the physical body.
Medicinal properties prated his body, replenishing the injuries caused by his cultivation…
Even the muscle fibers received meticulous improvement.
Pei Jinye felt an unprecedented sense offort and strength.
He couldn’t help butment…
“Having money is damn good!”
“Master, Young Master Suhu is kneeling outside, wishing to see you.”
The middle-aged butler said, bowing outside the door.
“Don’t see him.”<div>
Pei Jinye coldly spoke with Jiang Qingcang’s voice.
“Grandfather! Grandfather!” A sorrowful cry suddenly came from outside the door. Jiang Suhu was kneeling on the ground, sobbing heavily: “I don’t know what I did to anger Grandfather, but I truly haven’t betrayed you, betrayed the Jiang family.”
There was no response inside the room.
Jiang Suhu knelt at the door, sobbing heavily.
The middle-aged butler stood by, waiting with his head bowed.
After a moment.
The door opened.
Jiang Suhu, crying, moved forward trying to hug the approaching person’s leg, but was kicked away mercilessly: “Fool!”
“Grandfather!” Jiang Suhu’s eyes reddened, not a tear in sight, only dry sobs.
“Shut up!” “Jiang Qingcang” looked over coldly.
Jiang Suhu’s words that followed were cut off immediately, his eyes filled with grievance.
“Jiang Qingcang” raised his head to look at the middle-aged butler standing by attentively and extended a hand to pass him a list: “Procure everything listed here, I have a use for it.”
Jiang Suhu hurriedly said, “Grandfather, I can buy it for you.”<div>
“Jiang Qingcang” silently stared at him, the list not extended to him, and after gesturing to the middle-aged man to leave, he allowed Jiang Suhu into the room.
Jiang Suhu carefully waited by the side, “Grandfather, about the institute…”
“That’s your own affair,” “Jiang Qingcang” interrupted.
Jiang Suhu was taken aback, cautiously saying, “You don’t object?”
“If I say no, will you listen?” “Jiang Qingcang” looked over without a word.
Jiang Suhu forced a smile: “How could I, as your grandson, not listen to you? It’s just… I truly wanted to achieve something. I was thinking, if I managed to make an aplishment, I could bring it to you… but I was thwarted by someone.”
He paused.
Then he said unabashedly, “Just now, you yed a scene with me for others to see. This way, even if something happens to meter, it won’t implicate the Jiang family.”
Jiang Qingcang watched him.
Not a trace of the disarray Jiang Suhu exhibited earlier could be seen. He looked back with frankness: “But I hope you can support me… I’m just conducting some medical experiments, which do not essentially vite the Federationws, so it’s not a serious matter.”
“Jiang Qingcang” simply stared in silence.
This kid is full of nonsense.
The middle-aged butler appeared at this moment: “Master, Young Master Suhu’s wife has arrived. She’s kneeling at the gate, earnestly begging you to be generous and forgive Young Master Suhu.”
Thedy in question was Jiang Suhu’s wife, Song Xueyu.
Jiang Suhu reigned in his expression.
“Grandfather, she didn’te here at my arrangement,” he said gravely.
“You’ve indeed married a good wife. Go and take her away. I’m in seclusion recently and do not wish to be disturbed. Keep your people in line,” “Jiang Qingcang” waved his hand.
Jiang Suhu hurriedly took his leave.
The young couple seemed to be talking about something as they gradually walked farther down the small path.
“Jiang Qingcang” silently withdrew his gaze from behind the window.
He recognized that woman…
She was the one who caused a scene wanting to kill him when she first saw Jiang Suhu’s body.
