She couldn't tell who was real from who just by looking at their appearances and soul aura. Since that was the case, she could only rely on the conversation she had with Zhang Xuan.
"You said …" Jiang Fangyou was just about to reply when the young man in front of him suddenly spoke up. "You said … I don't want to marry that Zhang Xuan! He only knows how to put on airs and humiliate others. Furthermore, he even publicly annulled the engagement, causing our little princess to be in so much pain. He doesn't have the slightest bit of compassion for the fairer sex … "
"This …"
Jiang Feifei was stunned for a moment before nodding. "That's right. That's the sentence …"
"…"
Jiang Fangyou's body jolted once more, and he couldn't help but wonder if the other party had read his memories.
That was a conversation between him and his daughter, so how could the young man before him know so clearly?
"No, that's not right. You were hiding right beside us earlier, weren't you? Otherwise, how could you have known the conversation between Feifei and me? "
Unable to hold himself back any longer, Jiang Fangyou bellowed furiously.
He had tried to capture the thief who had stolen the treasure of the Jiang Clan, but in the end, he didn't even know who he was. This was truly infuriating!
"I also said that you were hiding right beside us all along!" Zhang Xuan harrumphed coldly. "Alright, you should just obediently reveal your true form. Otherwise, if we were to make a move on you together, only death awaits you!"
"I …"
Jiang Fangyou clenched his fists tightly as his body trembled uncontrollably. He wanted to say something, but he found himself at a loss for words.
Zhang Xuan was right. If the elders didn't believe him, and he didn't have the Clan Head Token, it would indeed be difficult for him to stand against them.
If he were to make a mistake, he might really be killed on the spot.
"Alright, allow me to speak some words of fairness!"
Just as Jiang Fangyou was at a loss for what to do, a calm voice suddenly sounded. Following which, an elder walked out from the crowd.
Zhang Xuan turned his gaze over and recognized the elder. He was Elder Jiang Fangyun of the Jiang Clan.
Even though he didn't hold a high position in the Jiang Clan at the moment, he still wielded great prestige in the clan.
"Elder Fangyun, feel free to speak!"
Zhang Xuan clasped his fist.
"Un."
Nodding, Elder Jiang Fangyun turned to Zhang Xuan with a complicated look in his eyes. "I have heard everything that you have just said, and it speaks of the essence of one's soul and the essence of one's cultivation. There's not the slightest mistake in your words … To be honest, even I was wondering how great it would be if you were really our clan head! Surpassing the Zhang family and the Luo family is only a matter of time … Unfortunately, you aren't! "
"You're not?" Zhang Xuan was stunned. "I'm really Jiang Fangyou …"
Jiang Fangyun raised his hand to stop Jiang Fangyou from continuing. Shaking his head, he said, "Actually, I'm not the only one who has noticed it. All of the elders have noticed it as well. Clan Head Jiang Fangyou has been with us for more than a hundred years, so we are well aware of what kind of capabilities he possesses. To be able to see through the crux and flaws of our bodies with a single glance and give us pointers … He doesn't have the ability, and he can't do it! If the Jiang Clan had such capabilities, they wouldn't be ranked last among the Three Great Clans … "
"Indeed. Even though Jiang Fangyou has a good character, he's still lacking in terms of capability …"
"You're much stronger than the Patriarch …"
As soon as he finished speaking, a few other elders chimed in.
"…" Jiang Fangyou's vision darkened.
The heck, is this what you think of me? Lacking in terms of capability … How am I lacking in terms of capability?
Can't you speak properly?
He had been intending to let the elders recognize him earlier, but now that they had finally recognized him as the real Jiang Fangyou, why didn't he feel happy at all? Instead, he felt a sharp stab in his heart.
Just as he was feeling stifled, his daughter nodded grimly and said, "My father is indeed lacking in terms of capability, so there's no way he would be able to say what you just said …"
Jiang Fangyou clutched his chest.
Even if you recognize me as the real Jiang Fangyou, surely you don't have to feel such a sharp stab in your heart!
How in the world did you give birth to such a troublemaker?
I was still considering marrying you off to that hateful Zhang Xuan, but since you've said so, I'll consider marrying you off to that hateful Zhang Xuan …
While Jiang Fangyou felt stifled, Zhang Xuan was also stunned.
He thought that he would be able to convince everyone by pointing out the crux of the crux of his cultivation, but in the end, he ended up betraying himself …
It was indeed easy to see through someone who was too outstanding.
Regardless of where he was, he was no different from a firefly in the midst of darkness, standing out from the crowd.
"You were able to offer guidance on soul cultivation without the slightest mistake … Regardless of who you are, you should have read through all of the books in the Jiang Clan's library, right? If I'm not mistaken, the one who bowed to the ancestors in the ancestral hall was you, right? Did you comprehend the Soul Quintessence? "
Jiang Fangyun asked.
"That's right!"
Seeing that Jiang Fangyou wasn't threatening to kill him, Zhang Xuan knew that he had no choice but to admit to it, so he could only nod.
"To be able to comprehend the Jiang Clan's Soul Quintessence and know so much about our clan, could it be that … you're from the side family as well?"
Jiang Fangyun asked doubtfully.
A genius had appeared in the Luo Clan, Luo Tianya!
As a member of the side family, he had comprehended the Spatial Quintessence of Sealing. Could it be that there was such a genius in their Jiang Clan as well?
Otherwise, how could he possibly know so much about the cultivation techniques of the Zhang Clan as well as the secrets of the Zhang Clan?
With a conflicted look on his face, Zhang Xuan was at a loss for words.
"Actually, regardless of whether you're from the side family or not, as long as you've comprehended the Soul Quintessence, you're qualified to be our clan head! Not to mention, you've tamed the Clan Head Seal and gained control of our clan's formation! "
Jiang Fangyun looked at Zhang Xuan with glowing eyes as he stepped forward and clasped his fist. "So … we hope that you can become our true clan head and lead the Jiang Clan through this crisis!"
"…"
Zhang Xuan was stunned. A moment later, he shook his head and said, "To be honest, I'm not from the Jiang Clan!"
It would have been one thing if he was from the side family, but he had no ties with the Jiang Clan at all.
"Not from the Jiang Clan?"
Everyone was stunned.
"It doesn't matter if you're not from the Jiang Clan. Since you've comprehended the Jiang Clan's Soul Quintessence, you've forged an inseparable bond with the Jiang Clan. How about this … we can marry Jiang Feifei to you, and you'll be able to become the head of our Jiang Clan," Jiang Fangyun said.
"That won't do …"
Not expecting the elder to use her happiness as a stake, Jiang Feifei hurriedly shook her head.
The person before her was disguised as her father, and she had no idea how old he was. There was no way she was going to marry him.
"Elder Fangyun, you must be joking. I can become the head of the Jiang Clan, but there's no need for me to marry her!" Zhang Xuan quickly rejected the elder's offer as well.
If the other party really didn't mind having an outsider as their clan head, he could indeed consider it.
Even though Jiang Fangyou was together with the scholarly young man, the Jiang Clan had a long history of several dozen millenniums. It was one thing for one or two pests to betray the Jiang Clan, but it was impossible for the entire clan to betray the Jiang Clan!
Otherwise, the Mingshi Tang would have noticed it long ago.
More importantly, if they really did betray the Jiang Clan, as the head of the Jiang Clan, it would be easier for him to correct them so that they wouldn't do anything that would endanger the human race.
"Marry me … Forget it! What do you mean by that?"
Before she could even finish her denial, the other party had already rejected her.
Hearing those words, Jiang Feifei exploded on the spot.
