If he angered him, not only would Xiao Chen suffer, but he might also lose the inheritance right that he had just obtained. That would not be worth it.
Xiao Chen was slightly startled. Only then did he realize that he was a bit too impatient. After all, Jia Musen was not the patriarch yet. If he was too impulsive, it was very likely that he would make a fool of himself.
"I don't know why you, as an external aid, would ask this question." Although Jia Jinyan was a bit annoyed, he thought that it might be because he did not explain clearly, so he suppressed the anger in his heart and said indifferently, "I will take it that you are concerned about Jia Musen, so I can tell you."
Glancing at Jia Musen, Jia Jinyan explained indifferently, "This time's family competition is a test of individual ability. However, Jia Musen still needs a period of time to learn the daily affairs of the patriarch. Only when I feel that he is qualified will he officially inherit the position of patriarch. Are you satisfied with this explanation?"
"Oh, so that's how it is. I thought that Jia Musen only won a title and did not have any practical use!" Xiao Chen nodded. He felt that he was indeed a bit rude, so he cupped his hands at Jia Jinyan and said apologetically, "Patriarch, I apologize for my attitude just now. I hope you don't take it to heart."
"Forget it, it doesn't matter. Do you have any other questions? If not, then I will leave first. "Jia Jinyan smiled slightly and waved his hand. It seemed that he did not have any intention of blaming him.
However, he still secretly kept an eye on him. After all, Xiao Chen's behavior was indeed a bit strange.
Looking at Jia Jinyan's back as he left, Jia Musen could not help but break out in a cold sweat. He frowned and said softly, "Xiao Chen, I also know that you want to find your father as soon as possible, but you still have to think twice! If you really offend grandfather, I reckon that both of us will not be able to bear the consequences. At that time, all our previous efforts will be wasted! "
"En, I know." Xiao Chen nodded. "I am a bit unhappy with your grandfather's way of doing things. However, you can rest assured that I will restrain myself in the future and will not do anything out of line."
Although he said so, Xiao Chen still slightly sighed. It seemed that helping Jia Musen become the patriarch was only the beginning. There was still a long way to go!
"Then let's go back first! Cheng Mengying and the others are still waiting for our good news! " Jia Musen patted Xiao Chen's shoulder in understanding and consoled him softly, "Don't worry too much. Your father will be fine. Once I get access to the core secrets, I'll definitely help you find out his whereabouts first!"
Xiao Chen helplessly smiled. Although he was still worried about his father's safety, he also knew that he could only take one step at a time. Therefore, he put down his worries and left the Martial Hall with Jia Musen.
"Tu Yao, you're the one with the most cunning ideas. Can you think of a way to kill Xiao Chen and Jia Musen without anyone noticing?!" Jia Huoyan said viciously as he looked at the backs of the two leaving.
Watching Jia Musen, who used to be under his feet, climb to his head step by step, Jia Huoyan could imagine how he felt. He had been suffering for too long, and he didn't want to endure it anymore.
"That's not possible, is it?" Jia Tuyao hesitated, pondered for a moment and said, "Xiao Chen, that kid is very powerful. Even Tang Yuansheng and Bi Songyan were defeated by him. How can the two of us defeat him?"
Jia Tuyao was a cautious person. He would never make a move before he was sure that he could win. Therefore, Jia Huoyan usually acted in the front, and he preferred to hide behind the scenes and plot.
Jia Huoyan curled his lips disdainfully and sneered. "He is only at the peak of Level 2 Demon Venerable. He is not that powerful! Even if he can defeat Tang Yuansheng, it will be a narrow victory. As long as we find some powerful warriors, we can definitely kill him easily! "
"But we haven't even found out his background. What if he has some powerful backers? What if someone comes to seek revenge after we kill him? If that happens, both sides will suffer, and even the Jia Family will be killed! "Jia Tuyao shook his head disapprovingly.
"Pah, he is just a cultivator from the mortal world. What backers can he have? Aren't you being too cautious? "Jia Huoyan sneered. Silently, he thought," You are not cautious, you are just a coward! "
Jia Tuyao showed the whites of his eyes and said, "Since you are so confident, why don't you do it yourself? Why do you need my help? But I advise you to be careful. Don't play with fire and burn yourself. If my grandpa finds out that you sent people to kill Xiao Chen and Jia Musen, you will be kicked out of the family! I am not interested in taking this risk with you, Baibai! "
Jia Tuyao curled up the corners of his mouth and swaggered out of the Martial Arts Hall with his two subordinates. He believed that even if he wanted to kill Xiao Chen, he would have to use his wits. Fighting and killing were not his style.
"Damn it! Why are you pretending? When I get rid of them and become the head of the Jia Family, you will be the first one I will deal with! "Jia Huoyan stared at Jia Tuyao's back and murmured to himself.
At this moment, Xiao Chen and Jia Musen had already walked far away, so they didn't know what had happened behind them.
However, on the way back, Xiao Chen faintly felt that someone was secretly watching him.
Xiao Chen's expression didn't change. He kept talking and laughing with Jia Musen, but secretly, he released his spirit power and searched around.
Although he was injured in the competition in the morning and hadn't fully recovered, it was a piece of cake for Xiao Chen to find a stalker. Soon, he found the stalker.
"Childe Ladyboy, what are you doing sneakily hiding in the bushes? Come out now, don't wait for me to find you! "Xiao Chen yelled at the bushes not far away, with a confident look.
He had guessed that it might be the girl Xing who was following him. However, he didn't expect that this girl was so clumsy that she would hide in the bushes and easily expose her whereabouts.
The bushes shook slightly, and then there was no more movement.
"You don't want to come out, do you?" Xiao Chen directly walked in that direction and said, "I will count to three. If you don't come out by then, I don't mind letting you have a taste of flying ladyboy! One, two … "
Just as he counted to two, a rustling sound came from the bushes, and a person suddenly stood up, startling Jia Musen.
"Eh … How did you find out? I feel that I hid it pretty well! " Little Miss Xing stood in the bushes in a daze as she looked at Xiao Chen, who was staring at her, and asked in confusion.
"Are you going to stand in the bushes and talk to me? Don't you feel uncomfortable being poked? "Xiao Chen lowered his chin and pointed at the bushes as he asked with a smile that was not a smile.
Miss Xing hesitated for a while, but still walked out. There were still a few leaves stuck to her hair, making her look silly and adorable. She grabbed Xiao Chen and asked anxiously, "Tell me quickly! How did you know I was here? "
