-Unexpected plot-twists(2)-

Jiang Kun's words touched the sore spot of the old man. He was her grandfather, the only granddaughter among many, whom he had doted on the most. How can he not know her temperament and heart? He already knew the little girl no longer had any respect left for him in her heart. Not to mention him, even to her brothers and sisters, she didn't show any respect or love.

The old man knew this was a monster of his own undoing. Back then, in her childhood, she wasn't like this. She was just like a little imp, creating mischief wherever she goes. Most of the time she would spend with him, calling him grandpa with that cute smile plastered on her face.

Everything changed when he discovered her cultivation talent. Driven by the desire to change Fang Family's fate, and to stand on an equal footing with the Jiang Family and Royal Family, he had done everything. From then on he had invested all the resources of Fang family in nurturing the young girl, making her a 3rd Level soul tempering realm cultivator in just 6 years.

But with power, she had also cultivated pride. Throughout these six years, the old man had taught her to respect strong and despise the weak. But, power without virtue is nothing but a burden, and that's what happened to the old man his family. Although the little girl's power increased and recently her status had also made an enormous leap. In the end, he gained nothing from it. On the contrary, the little girl showed her disdain towards his family after she was accepted as a disciple of a 6-star sect.

This had become a heart demon for the old man. He could only bury the grief inside his own heart and beg the little girl for every little thing. He, to whom the little girl should be bowing out of respect, was bowing instead. Only he knew how much he had requested the little girl to appear on this event today. He even had to part with a rare treasure in his possession for her to agree with his plan.

Now when Jiang Kun had brought out this topic, the old man felt like someone had spread a handful of salt on his wounds. Anger exploded in his heart, as he thought of taking revenge and threw a punch at Jiang Kun's face.

The later was already ready for it, using his left hand, Jiang Kun grabbed hold of the fist, and responded with an elbow to Fang Tu's chest with his right hand. The elbow of Jiang Kun which was covered with aura slammed against Fang Tu's chest which was also wrapped in aura cloak. Both of them separated from each other from the fore of their respective attacks, as they slide back a few meters.

Boom!! Boom!!

As if some kind of signal being triggered, instantly, the elders of both Fang family and Jiang Family started to lock on each other as they also exploded forth with their cultivation base. On one side two patriarchs already started to fight while on the other side the elders were already locked on each other, ready to go at it any moment.

Jiang Kun pulled out a saber from behind his throne, and slashed at Fang Tu with a silver colored saber qi, aiming at his heart. The Saber qi was fast and precise, covering the small distance in just half a breath. Fang Tu backflipped at the nick of the time, allowing the qi to pass above his body. But still, a long thin cut formed on his robes, it was from the encircling wind of the Saber qi.

"Heh! It looks like you aren't slacking all this time. You have already able to condense a Saber qi of your 'Flowing like wind Saber art.'" The old man from Fang Tu harrumphed. From his robes, he brought out a pair of red gauntlets covered in red scales. A faint glow could be seen coming off them. No doubt it's a treasure. Even Jiang Kun recognized that gauntlet.

"Isn't that Red Scale Gauntlets, made out of the skin of a Red scale lizard, you own from the yearly auction of Royal Palace, last month!" Jiang Kun was surprised to see the old man already getting used to using it.

"Hmph! You think I will just leave it to collect dust in my treasury?" after wearing the gauntlet, Fang Tu bumped his fists in front of his chest, before making a punching motion at Jiang Kun. A red colored enclosed fist print formed behind Fang Tu as it sailed towards Jiang Kun.

On the other side, the elders already started fighting among each other. Blue, red, golden flashes of light filled the vicinity of Main Hall, as the Martial Techniques of many elders completely filled the hallway.

The commotion attracted everyone from the Jiang family, as they pooled around the main hall to see what's all this about.

Inside his room, Jiang Jie couldn't help but sigh in misery as he saw a fight broke out between two parties. To his side, Hou'er's countenance had already become pale as she saw the war breaking out in the middle of the main hall. Looking at all this Jie muttered "Looks like I overestimated Tao's fate. Ultimately, it was limited to this kingdom only. Looks like I am going to play the part of 'villain harassing beauty' instead of 'Hero saving the beauty.' Well, whatever, in the end, I came to this world to alleviate my boredom. If I can stir trouble for myself, that's good too. So, what if I miss out on this beauty! She isn't the only fish in the pond."

Although it was hard, Jie consoled himself. In the end, love couldn't be forced. He only missed a possible target, that's all. Jiang Jie felt like crying. It's so hard for him to let go of a beauty like this.

"Dammit! This is why I don't like this particular ability of mine!"

At the same time, to the west of Jiang Mansion, a young disciple showed himself at the doorstep of a secluded room. Looking around to check if he was being followed, he knocked twice on the door in a specific rhythm.

"Come in!" a cold voice was heard from the inside. The disciple then carefully entered the room before closing the door behind him.

After going through a winding hallway, he arrived at a bamboo garden, where on a wooden chair, a beautiful lady in a red robe was sitting while sipping on some tea. The lady's hair was freely flowing behind her, coming all the way to the ground. A maid standing behind her was cleaning her hair as she took extra care of it.

The disciple bowed on the ground and spoke: "Madam, The Fang family, and patriarch started fighting." After that, the disciple recounted everything that happened in the main hall.

"Okay, you can go. Here, give this token to someone on the treasury department and withdraw 20 gold coins." The lady threw a wooden token at the disciple and signaled him to go away. Bowing once again, the disciple left the garden.

"What do you think the stance of Misty Pearl Pavilion would be in this case?" the lady seemingly spoke to his own. But soon, a shadow shimmered to existence beside the lady as it spoke in a distorted voice: "If Misty Pearl Pavilion sticks their nose into this matter, then things could become ugly. I suggest we should steer clear of this matter altogether."

"I think so too. Nonetheless, Jiang Kun wasn't foolish enough to offend someone he shouldn't." the lady also nodded her head with approval to the shadow's proposal.

"I don't think so." Suddenly a voice was heard startling both the lady and the shadow. Regaining composure, the shadow screamed "Who is there? Reveal yourself!" at the same time they both increased their vigilance as they searched everywhere around them.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Suddenly at this moment, the sound of someone walking was heard. Moreover, it was coming from beyond the slightly darker hallway behind the garden. As the sound became increasingly closer, soon the speaker was revealed. It was none other than Jiang Jie, who was smiling lightly.
