"I know I'm wrong!"
As soon as Xi Munan finished speaking, Xi Zichu lowered his head.
"I'm afraid you don't know."
"Your son is well aware of that."
"That's your granduncle. Even if you don't have much contact with him and don't have any feelings for him, he's still your granduncle. You shouldn't be so indifferent! "
"This is in front of you, Father. I think there's no need to hide. "
"You can't even be bothered to hide it in front of your father. How can I expect you to hide it in front of others?"
Xi Zichu opened his mouth but did not say anything.
"You!" Xi Manan pointed at Xi Zichu and said, "Not only did you underestimate Jiang Wang, but you also underestimated Hu Shaomeng. Do you think you suppressed him for so long because of your own ability and not the Xi family's influence? "
"If your eyes can only see three feet in front of you, then it's better not to look. If your ears can only hear within a wall, then it's better not to listen. East King Valley's four ways of diagnosis have turned you into a blind, deaf, and idiot who only believes in the little things you know! "
These words were too harsh.
Xi Zichu had never heard of them and found it hard to accept.
"Father!" He could not help but say, "I asked Liu Gan and Elder to go to the mine together and used Jiang Wang's background to lead the pig-bone faced cultivator there. For all these reasons, was Jiang Wang still not important enough? In the end, man proposes, but God disposes. What can I do if I'm not lucky? Moreover, Elder was the only one who passed away in the end. Is it only my fault? "
"Including you and me, the Xi family has a total of four Soaring Dragon Realm fighters. Liu Gan and I can't move at all. There's a tiger outside and a big problem inside. The Prefectural Governor has been eyeing our Xi family for a long time, but due to the situation, he couldn't make a move. You and your granduncle have two Soaring Dragon Realm fighters. As you said, there's also the White Bone Faced cultivator who was targeted by you. But when it happened, where were you? You were tricked by Hu Shaomeng's illusion in the city like a marionette! "
"I don't understand. What tiger? What internal problem? What kind of tiger is Rizhao Prefectural Governor? Within five years, I'll definitely break through to the Inner Palace. When I reach the Inner Mansion Realm, it will be time for you to seek the position of Prefectural Governor. As for internal problems, in the entire Jia City, if you count each and every one of them, who would be able to deal with it? "
Xi Zichu also felt wronged, and the more he spoke, the angrier he got: "I'll say something disrespectful. If it weren't for your excessive caution, father. According to my original plan, the four of us should all move out and directly suppress them with our strength. How could the Heavenly Clear Cloud Goat change hands? With that treasure, I won't even need five years to break through to the Inner Palace Realm! Have you not considered which is more important? You're blaming your son here! "
Xi Munan fell silent.
He looked at Xi Zichu in silence. After a long time, he said, "You disappoint me."
"Get out," he said.
"Father …"
"Get out!"
He even lost his composure and roared.
…
After leaving his residence, Jiang Wang first went to the small courtyard where Zhang Hai lived.
As the first transcendent cultivator to officially surrender to him, Jiang Wang still had to show a certain degree of closeness even though he was only at the Meridian Wandering Realm.
Moreover, this was a cultivator who was obsessed with alchemy. Even if he wasn't an expert, he could still refine some healing pills that were of some value.
After chatting with Zhang Hai, Jiang Wang went to Xiang Qian's residence under his attentive escort.
Compared to Jiang Wang himself, Zhang Hai, who was obsessed with alchemy, and Xiang Qian, who was muddle-headed, were both existences that really needed maids.
In fact, if these two good-for-nothings weren't transcendent cultivators, Jiang Wang doubted if they could survive on their own.
He walked into the courtyard that could barely be considered clean. This was already considered good. With such a lazy master, the maids couldn't be any more diligent.
Xiang Qian wasn't muddle-headed today, and there wasn't the smell of alcohol on his body.
It seemed that he was already prepared for Jiang Wang to come knocking on his door.
He dismissed the maids.
"Tell me," Jiang Wang said directly. "What plans do you have?"
"If you chase me away, I'll leave. If you don't chase me away, I'll continue to muddle along. " Although Xiang Qian wasn't muddle-headed anymore, his tone was still ghostly. "It doesn't matter where I lie."
"You're not weak. Would you consider working for me? "
"I'm already doing things for you."
His meaning was clear. Looking at the mine, escorting the miners back to Qingyang Town, these simple things were fine. Doing other things was out of the question.
If it was before the battle with the pig-bone-faced man, Jiang Wang wouldn't have cared if Xiang Qian stayed or left.
But after discovering Xiang Qian's hidden strength, his value increased. He was worth Jiang Wang's effort to persuade him to stay.
Things in the world were that simple.
Jiang Wang came to the Yang Kingdom alone, without a single soldier.
The Yang Kingdom's business was won by Chung Geng Sheng. If he couldn't control it, it would soon be taken over by Jung Genzun.
No matter how small the Yang Kingdom was, it was still a country. With such a big plate, all kinds of resources were scattered. Jiang Wang couldn't rely on himself to complete the integration.
He needed manpower. He needed a lot of useful people.
That was why he accepted Zhang Hai's surrender, nurtured Xiao Xiao, and fought for Xiang Qian now.
Moreover, Xiang Qian was far more powerful than Zhang Hai.
"I won't force you. It's up to you whether you stay or leave. " Jiang Wang recalled his father's style of managing the business. He set the tone first and tried to lower the other party's vigilance.
"I've seen your strength. I think you can play a bigger role, and I hope you can play a bigger role. Of course, I'll give you a corresponding reward. As long as you're willing to work for me, we can negotiate. I'll give you a clear price, and I won't let you lose out. "
"I don't know what made you choose to live in your current state. And these, unless you're willing to tell me, I won't ask you. "
"What I want to tell you is …"
Jiang Wang said seriously, "If you have a grudge, I won't avenge you. If you have worries, I can't let you sleep in peace. If you have worries, I won't take responsibility for you to be worry-free. But if you work for me, you'll have such opportunities. One day, you'll be able to do those things on your own. "
"I admit that you're strong and talented." Xiang Qian's eyelids were half-closed. "But you're only in the Reaching Heaven State … Do you know how big this world is, and how strong the strong people are?"
"Forget it." There was no mockery in his tone. He said, "Forget it. There's no other way. I'm a few decades older than you. It's not just time that's wasted. It's not just you and me who are hopeless. "
But Jiang Wang's posture, expression, tone, and intentions didn't waver at all.
"I came out of the Mysterious Land of Heaven. The magical power of the Inner Mansion is already in my bag. Before that, the Soaring Dragon State wasn't a problem either. But my goal is definitely not the Inner Mansion. "
Jiang Wang said, "Because my enemy isn't there."
His future was very far, and so was his goal.
Xiang Qian looked at the young man in front of him. He wasn't drunk, but he was suddenly in a trance.
This young man …
He was too familiar.
He once whipped a famous horse when he was drunk, afraid that he would hurt a beauty. Such a young man …
He didn't know when it started.
The young Xiang Qian was still alive, but the "young" Xiang Qian was dead.
Xiang Qian had thought he'd accepted all this, but he couldn't deny the depression in his heart at this moment.
In the end, he said, "I'm not a hopeless person, but this is indeed a hopeless world."
"I'm willing to stay. Just take it as waiting to see when you'll realize this."
"But I'll decide how much I'll contribute and how I'll contribute. The only thing I can promise you is that my contribution won't be less than Zhang Hai's. You only need to pay me the same amount as him. "
Jiang Wang smiled.
Promises were often more useful for people who didn't make promises easily.
"Deal!"
"I forgot to report to you," Xiang Qian added lazily before Jiang Wang left.
"I'm cultivating the flying sword technique."
