Chapter 1549 The Untamed 29
Of course, Madam Jin also came to Baifeng Mountain. After all, although the number of female cultivators has always been far less than that of male cultivators, almost every sect leader's wife is a cultivator, so it was natural for Madam Jin to come and entertain them.
Mrs. Jin's biggest goal on this trip is Jiang Yanli. She really likes Jiang Yanli too much. Even if Jiang Yanli only has a family background, she will only express her full satisfaction with Jiang Yanli. What's more, Jiang Yanli is now a cultivator who is not inferior to her son Jin Zixuan.
Especially when she saw that Jiang Yanli did not enter with the other female guests, but led the Jiang family's disciples in, Mrs. Jin looked at Jiang Cheng's smiling face on the stage, and she hated Jin Guangshan more and more for his momentary thought in the Cloud Recesses.
But the past cannot be changed, and now she must do her best to plan for her son Jin Zixuan. Otherwise, if Jin Guangshan really brings Meng Yao back to the Jin family, the position of the future leader of the Jin family is likely to change.
Wei Ying had a jade flute on his waist, one hand holding his sword casually, and the other hand raised high to wave to all directions, his whole body smiling like a flower.
Even though the Sun Shooting Campaign was just over not long ago, many young people already have considerable appeal among their peers.
Jiang Cheng, the new leader of the Yunmeng Jiang Clan, is the most dazzling young person. People even speculated behind the scenes that he might have a great chance of achieving ascension, so he is honored by the outside world as "Lord of the Clouds".
But Jiang Cheng was not the first person of his generation to have a title of honor. The first person to have a title of honor, Zewu Jun Lan Huan, had been famous for a long time and had always been ranked first on the list of young masters of aristocratic families. It was a pity that he was slightly inferior to Jiang Cheng in the Sun Shooting Campaign.
The other one is obviously of the same generation as Jiang Cheng and others, and is not even thirty years old either. However, because he succeeded early and has a big beard, he is often classified as a member of the previous generation. He is Nie Mingjue, the leader of the Qinghe Nie clan. He also has the honorific title of Cangfeng Zun, and because of the overly tragic contrast between him and Jiang Cheng at the top of the Nevernight Sky, people's evaluation of him has quietly lowered a little.
Next is Lan Zhan, who is honored with the title Han Guangjun, and Meng Yao, who is respectfully called Lian Fangjun by the world.
As for Wei Ying who is currently in the limelight, he is good in every aspect, but people are afraid of the Yin Iron in his hand, so they call him the Demon Lord behind his back.
On the high platform, only Jiang Cheng could attract Lan Zhan's attention. Wei Ying, who was standing next to him, couldn't even take his eyes off him. This made Wei Ying very unhappy. He couldn't help but lean over and mutter, "Second Master Lan, don't look at him. Ah Cheng has other important things to do today. You, who still have to participate in the competition, should not distract him."
Lan Zhan knows much more than Wei Ying. If it weren't for the fact that it is difficult to reveal those secrets in public, he would have to show off to Wei Ying.
On the stage, Jin Guangshan said in a sarcastic tone: "Master Jiang, it is said that the Jiang clan is full of talented people, but after seeing them today, I am afraid that the reputation is not worthy of it. Why is there Wei Ying and Wei Wuxian everywhere?"
Jiang Cheng would not let Jin Guangshan get the upper hand anywhere, and said with a smile: "The Jin family is not much behind. Without Jin Zixun, it seems that they don't have any outstanding disciples."
Lan Huan lowered his head and suppressed his laughter, pretending that nothing had happened. However, Nie Mingjue looked at Wei Ying's ostentatious behavior and couldn't help but scold him lightly: "Being young and full of energy is not a good thing after all."
Jiang Cheng just smiled politely. To be honest, in his eyes, Nie Mingjue was only slightly better than Jin Guangshan. After all, although Nie Mingjue was stubborn and had some hidden double standards, there were no other problems. He was much better than Jin Guangshan, who had all the five poisons and a sinister mind.
But this does not mean that Jiang Cheng is willing to make close friends with someone like Nie Mingjue. The person who can make Nie Mingjue feel at ease is either someone he has been with for a long time and has shown real abilities and does not have major moral flaws, or a humble gentleman like Lan Huan.
This large-scale night hunting event organized by the noble family would, as usual, have a competition before everyone would be allowed to move freely. For some reason, Jin Guangshan did not choose to compete in swordsmanship, but instead chose archery. This really gave Wei Ying a chance to show off.
Not only could he shoot three arrows with one bow, he could also hit the bull's eye with his eyes blindfolded. The old man Jin Guangshan was watching on the stage with a dark face, which was very pleasing to the eye.
But such real kung fu was so impressive that even Nie Mingjue, who disliked Wei Ying for only seeking the limelight, couldn't help but admire him, "Young Master Wei's archery skills are truly amazing!"
Lan Huan also praised sincerely: "Yes, yes, Master Wei must have put a lot of effort into this move."
Jiang Cheng understood that Lan Huan was saying that Wei Ying was just a little bit flamboyant, but that he actually had real skills to back him up. He nodded and thanked Lan Huan for his kindness, but still said modestly, "We don't have many rules in Lotus Pier. This archery skill was acquired by feeding him with living creatures since he was a child."
Jiang Cheng felt that he was being modest when he said this, but Jin Guangshan just thought he was showing off, so he brought up Jiang Yanli's marriage in front of everyone: "The Jiang family's sons do have their own strengths, but I don't know who will marry Miss Jiang in the future."
Jiang Cheng immediately stopped smiling, looked at Jin Guangshan with cold eyes, and said, "As the only daughter of our Jiang family, you are naturally qualified to choose your own future path. As for marriage, it is really not worth mentioning for cultivators like me."
Mrs. Jin took the opportunity to interrupt and expressed her disapproval, "Master Jiang, you are joking. How important is marriage? It is related to the inheritance of the family! It's a pity that my Jin family does not have a legitimate daughter, otherwise I would have the opportunity to become a relative of Master Jiang."
Jin Guangshan took over Mrs. Jin's words, "Although my Jin family has no legitimate daughter, we have an only son, and Jiang family also has an older daughter. Our two families have even made an engagement, and it would be a good story to bring up the good news again now."
Jiang Cheng was amused by Jin Guangshan, "Master Jin, you are joking. Since the engagement between our two families no longer exists, there is no need to bring up the past again."
There was nothing interesting about shooting at a fixed target off the field. Wei Ying had already stolen the limelight anyway, and no matter how exquisite the archery skills of others were, they were of no use. Fortunately, Jin was prepared.
Jin Guangshan clapped his hands, and kites rose up one after another in the valley not far away.
Jin Guangshan stroked his beard and explained, "There are all kinds of demons under these kites. The bows and arrows distributed to each family today are also marked. We in the Jin family are fully prepared, so please don't be stingy in showing them."
Jiang Cheng and Lan Huan looked at each other, both suspecting that Jin Guangshan was becoming forgetful due to his age.
Jiang Cheng had just said that the archery skills of Jiang's disciples were acquired by feeding them living creatures from a young age.
