Jia Huoyan was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. Although he was itching to rush up and give Jia Tuyao a good beating, he had no choice but to swallow his anger. Moreover, it was getting late, and the deadline for the competition was approaching. Therefore, he had no choice but to drag Tang Yuansheng and his two subordinates towards the storage area, whose face was gloomy.
"Ah, isn't this Huo Yan? Why are you all covered in dirt? " Seeing them, Jia Tuyao walked up with a bright smile. But he saw Jia Quushu and Jia Shouchu standing there with wounds all over their bodies.
Although Jia Tuyao was a bit confused, he still took out a bottle of healing ointment from his pocket, handed it over and said in a friendly tone, "Come, come, come, put this bottle of ointment on your wounds. This is my usual healing ointment, it's very effective. I guarantee that your wounds will be healed immediately!"
"No... It's okay, they're all skin wounds. How can we waste young master Tuyao's precious ointment? We just need to go back and take a rest. " Jia Quushu hurriedly waved his hands, with a trace of fear on his face. He even wanted to take a few big steps back and pretend that he didn't understand Huo Yan's words. He didn't want to have anything to do with Jia Tuyao, how could he dare to take that bottle of ointment?
"Quushu, look at you, I don't like what you just said. We're all from the Jia family, I told you to take it, so just take it! Why are you still treating me like a stranger? " Jia Tuyao took a few steps forward, forcibly shoved the bottle of ointment into Jia Quushu's hand, then turned around and said to Jia Huoyan with a gentle smile, "Brother Huo Yan, look at you, you must have gained quite a lot! There must be hundreds of spirit jades in here, right? "
Looking at the two large bags held in Jia Quushu's hands, which were faintly glowing with the light of spirit jades, Jia Tuyao was indeed a bit surprised. He thought that he had robbed a whole cart of spirit jades from Jia Huoyan, which meant that he would definitely lose this competition. He never thought that Jia Huoyan had so many spirit jades!
"Hehe, not much, I'm not as capable as you are!" Jia Huoyan threw a glance at Jia Tuyao, sneered and said in a weird tone, "You don't need to do anything, you just need to move your fingers and you can get spirit jades. You're indeed a wolf in sheep's clothing. I admire you more and more!"
"Hahaha! Same here, same here. We're pretty much the same, so let's not talk about each other! "Jia Tuyao didn't bother to deny it, and responded with a fake smile.
The competition for the position of the family leader had always been a competition of one party or the other. Normally, in the family, Jia Tuyao could hide his true identity and pretend to be weak, but in this kind of situation where he had to fight against the family leader for real, Jia Tuyao didn't need to pretend anymore.
Jia Huoyan snorted, no longer paying any attention to Jia Tuyao. He took the two bags of spirit jades from Jia Quushi's hand and put them on the table in the storage area.
"Jia Huoyan has handed over 78 pieces of Spiritual Jade!" After the counting was done, the counting staff recorded everything on the form, and carefully checked it again. After that, he handed the form to Jia Jinyan and reported, "So far, Jia Huoyan has obtained 145 pieces of spirit jades, Jia Tuyao has 142 pieces of spirit jades, Jia Musen has 65 pieces of spirit jades, and Jia Renzhong has 4 pieces of spirit jades. Patriarch, please have a look!"
The confident expression on Jia Tuyao's face froze, and he was greatly shocked. He thought that he had turned in the most number, but Jia Huoyan had actually turned in three pieces more than him! How … how was this possible?
No! Soon, Jia Tuyao realized that Jia Huoyan must have turned in the spiritual jade this morning! And that Jia Musen, who had been missing for a long time, had also turned in 65 pieces, hadn't he? He must have turned in the spiritual jade this morning as well!
Damn it, this time, he had really miscalculated. Was he going to miss the first place with a gap of three pieces of spirit jades?
Looking at Jia Tuyao's face changing from red to pale, Jia Huoyan felt as happy as drinking iced water in the dog days of summer. He was so proud that he could almost fly to the sky. Jia Huoyan was about to open his mouth to mock Jia Jinyan, but Jia Jinyan spoke first.
"Oh … other than the direct descendants and Jia Renzhong, the other branch descendants did not even manage to collect a single piece of spiritual jade?" After Jia Jinyan finished looking at the form, he swept his gaze across the four branch descendants in front of him and asked in a flat tone.
"No … no."
Jia Quushi, Jia Shou Lou, Jia Shilei, and Jia Rijing hesitated for a second, then answered together. They all lowered their heads in embarrassment.
"You have to work hard in the next round!" Jia Jinyan was not stupid. His mind was as clear as a mirror. Of course, he knew that these four collateral descendants had turned in all the spirit jades they had collected to Jia Huoyan and Jia Tuyao.
Although he was a little displeased, he didn't say anything. Instead, he slightly sighed. After all, being able to subdue the collateral descendants could be counted as a kind of ability, but it was a little disgraceful.
Jia Quushi and the other four disciples responded together, then cast their jealous and hateful glances at Jia Renzhong. The four of them either didn't collect any spirit jades themselves, or they had given all the spirit jades they had collected to their boss. Therefore, they didn't have a single piece.
This Jia Renzhong had spent a whole day to collect only four pieces of spirit jades, but he had actually become the first place among the collateral descendants! What a lucky bastard!
Jia Renzhong didn't notice the hostile glances from the others. He still calmly looked in front of him. He had been bullied so many times that this kind of glare was nothing to him.
"Reporting to Patriarch, there are only five minutes left before the competition ends. Do you think … we should first count the weight of the Spirit Jades obtained by the Young Masters?" The tallying staff finished reporting the numbers, raised his hand to look at his watch, and asked respectfully.
"Oh, no hurry, wait until Mu Sen arrives!" Jia Jinyan said unhurriedly, then slightly closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
"Jia Musen, this kid, said that he still has hundreds of spirit jades that he hasn't taken out. It's almost time, why can't I see a shadow of him? Could it be that he can't take out the spirit jades, and is afraid of losing face in front of us, so he ran away like last time? "Jia Huoyan was in a good mood. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and sneered proudly.
In Jia Huoyan's eyes, this game was already as easy as pinching a snail with three fingers, and he was sure to win. No matter how hard he tried to calculate the weight, his one hundred and forty-five pieces of spirit jades were obviously heavier than Jia Tuyao's.
And that guy named Xiao Chen, he actually said that he wanted to buy some ketchup and chili sauce. He thought that he was so awesome, and almost scared me to death. In the end, didn't I still get the first place? They are really two big idiots!
Jia Quunchu and Jia Shou Lie immediately laughed. Just when they were about to flatter Jia Huoyan, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind.
"Kid, what are you blindly talking about? Who is running away? "
Jia Huoyan was still immersed in the joy of victory. He was surprised when he heard the voice. He looked back and saw Xiao Chen and Jia Musen walking back from afar with their backpacks on their backs. Those words were said by Xiao Chen.
