“How could the Jiang Family have a good-for-nothing like you?!”
“From now on, when you go out, don’t say you’re from our Jiang Family! We can’t afford to lose face!”
“The Yun Family is already preparing to break off the engagement. Old Madam has already agreed, so don’t be ungrateful when the time comes.”
“After all, our Jiang Family truly can’t afford to offend the current Yun Family. Who told Yun Cai'er to be a one-in-a-million Spiritual Mind Master?”
“A Spiritual Mind Master is one thing, but what’s truly intimidating is her teacher behind her—that’s a Spiritual Mind Master Nine Rank Grandmaster!”
“Indeed, is Yun Cai'er’s current status something this bastard can even match?”
Jiang Chen merely watched the few people blocking his path with cold eyes, not saying a word.
He had long become immune to such words, perhaps because he didn't feel much connection to these people.
Seeing Jiang Chen still standing there, an eyesore, one of them arrogantly said to Jiang Chen:
“After the Yun Family breaks off the engagement, you’ll need to move out of the Jiang Family. After all, you’re already eighteen. Of course, the Jiang Family isn’t heartless; we’ll provide you with a house.”
He deliberately paused here, then feigned sudden realization, “Oh, right, this was Old Madam’s instruction.”
“Are you done talking nonsense?”
“If you don’t want the Jiang Family to truly lose face, then don’t disgust me in front of me.”
“At least for now, I’m still the fiancé of the Genius Yun Cai'er you speak of. If you don’t want things to go wrong, then scram!”
Jiang Chen said coldly to the few people, then walked straight past them and left.
As for the engagement being broken off, he cared even less about it. After all, this was somewhat a good thing, saving him the title of a live-in son-in-law.
Given his current situation, being alone was best.
As for where to live, Jiang Chen was even more indifferent. Jiang Chen also understood what they meant by making him move out—it was simply that once he moved out, he would no longer be part of the main branch.
The few people who were pushed aside were stunned.
Seeing Jiang Chen directly ignore them and leave, they immediately felt extremely displeased.
At the same time, they were also somewhat confused as to why Jiang Chen seemed a bit different now; the previous Jiang Chen would never have dared to act like this.
“You…”
After one person was pushed aside by Jiang Chen, he was furious and wanted to chase after him, but he was held back by someone next to him.
“Don’t. He’s right, just bear with it for now.”
“After the Yun Family matter is settled, won’t we have plenty of opportunities to get rid of him?”
The person stopped his movements after hearing this but still cursed viciously at Jiang Chen’s retreating figure:
“Pah! Truly a bastard, no upbringing at all!”
The voices coming from behind made Jiang Chen extremely displeased. Although he didn't care at all about the identity of this body, it was still annoying to hear someone barking like a dog in his ear.
Jiang Chen frowned, his face cold, and he stopped. Then he turned around and walked back towards them.
“Slap!”
A crisp sound rang out.
Jiang Chen directly slapped Jiang Hong across the face, and his cheek immediately swelled up.
Red finger marks appeared on his stunned face, and he looked at Jiang Chen with shock.
“Jiang Hong, did you not hear what I just said?!”
“Upbringing?”
“No matter what, you are merely a collateral branch of the Jiang Family. If you want to teach me how to do things, I’m afraid you don’t have the qualifications yet!”
At this moment, Jiang Hong’s face was ashen, and his eyes seemed to want to devour Jiang Chen alive.
However, Jiang Chen’s words instantly reminded him: although Jiang Chen was an illegitimate child, his status as part of the main branch was currently undeniable, and he truly did not have the qualifications yet.
Most importantly, he truly dared not offend the current Jiang Chen.
If the Yun Family matter was messed up, then his entire Family would be finished.
The few people exchanged glances; they also realized that Jiang Chen truly seemed different.
Seeing Jiang Hong and the others remain silent, Jiang Chen then turned and left again.
However, Jiang Hong’s malicious gaze never left Jiang Chen’s back, as he thought about the day the Yun Family would come to break off the engagement!
Jiang Chen, having left, arrived at his courtyard shortly after.
This courtyard was the most secluded part of the main compound.
Jiang Chen quite liked it here, as he was rarely disturbed.
He could then properly think about the matters of this world and his future plans.
That’s right, Jiang Chen was also one of the Transmigration army.
Jiang Chen didn't know why he had woken up in this world.
At first, Jiang Chen thought he was dreaming, but gradually he realized this was no dream at all.
After discovering his Transmigration, Jiang Chen found through his memories that this world was a bit outrageous.
Hundreds of years ago, a spatial rift suddenly appeared on Blue Star, seemingly opening a passage to some dimensional space, and countless colossal beasts descended upon Blue Star.
A massive cataclysm occurred, and humanity began to jointly resist these exotic beasts.
Fortunately, the spatial passage was unstable at that time, and powerful exotic beasts couldn't cross over.
But even so, humanity still suffered hundreds of millions of casualties before stabilizing the situation.
From then on, Blue Star suddenly became different.
People discovered they could Cultivate, and thus Martial Dao rose, and the Mythical Era began.
Jiang Chen was in Xia Country, one of the world's five major powers. The world's structure was not much different from his previous life.
As for the Jiang Family?
Jiang Chen's Jiang Family was one of the five major Martial Artist Families in Tianhai City.
In a place like Tianhai City, a Nine Rank Grandmaster could completely support a top-tier Family.
However, it seemed this Family was gradually declining.
Because after the Jiang Family's Great Grandmaster died two years ago, the current Jiang Family was no longer as prosperous as it once was.
And the Yun Family that Jiang Hong and the others mentioned earlier was not one of the five major Families, but merely a second-tier Family.
That’s why there was a marriage engagement between the Yun Family's Young Miss and Jiang Chen.
The Yun Family had simply wanted to hitch a ride on the Jiang Family’s ship before.
As for why the Yun Family dared to break off the engagement, it was just as Jiang Hong and the others said: the Yun Family now had a powerful backer, and Yun Cai'er’s talent was also quite good.
How many people in the entire Xia Country could be taken as disciples by a Great Grandmaster?
Naturally, her status had risen, and she looked down on the Jiang Family, and even more so on Jiang Chen, who was publicly recognized as a Martial Dao good-for-nothing.
It wasn't that Jiang Chen hadn't Cultivated; it just seemed he didn't have much Martial Dao talent.
Without Martial Dao talent, he couldn't become a Martial Artist, and the Jiang Family would certainly abandon him, especially since his identity was somewhat special.
Being so unwelcome in the Jiang Family, and with his Martial Dao talent also being poor, it seemed he had to plan his future carefully.
After this engagement was broken off, Jiang Chen could imagine what his life would be like with his butt.
Getting up from the reclining chair, Jiang Chen went to the pond and scooped up a handful of cold water, splashing it on his face.
The cool sensation instantly stimulated his brain. However, at that moment, a strange feeling came from the depths of Jiang Chen’s Soul.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but when Jiang Chen came back to his senses, he felt that his world had changed.
No,
It should be that his perspective had changed.
Jiang Chen suddenly found that he could see himself!!
What the hell is going on?!
Possessed by a ghost?!
Or did something go wrong during the Transmigration?!
One question after another kept popping up in Jiang Chen's mind.
However, when Jiang Chen followed this strange feeling, he was completely shocked!
“What is this thing?!”
Jiang Chen looked at a white, transparent entity floating on the pond with a surprised expression.
And at this moment, it was also looking at Jiang Chen, and the strange perspective was coming precisely from its viewpoint.
The sensation of two bodies suddenly came, and there was no discomfort at all in the water.
Four eyes met!
No, does this thing even have eyes?!
Just as Jiang Chen was utterly bewildered, not knowing what was happening,
A light blue interface slowly appeared before Jiang Chen.
【Talent is Awakening...】
