The System Arrives: Leading My Clan to Become the Strongest

87: Zhang Feizhou attended the meeting and was greeted by the city lord.”Hmm, where are Jiang Chenghe and the others?”

After staying in the courtyard for a long time, Jiang Suhai noticed that Jiang Chenghe and his wife had not appeared, which made him feel somewhat puzzled.

Since coming to Qingyun Mountain, he had spent most of his time in seclusion, so he was unaware of Jiang Chenghe’s situation.

Hearing his grandfather’s confusion, Jiang Chen was also somewhat speechless.

Ever since his parents took the Aptitude Pill, they had been in seclusion frequently. Now, they were even occupying an Immortal Cave alone and had not come out for who knows how long.

Jiang Chen could only smile helplessly, his tone carrying a hint of wry amusement:

”Them? Ever since they took the Aptitude Pill, it’s as if they’ve burrowed into the Immortal Cave. They’ve devoted all their thoughts to Cultivation, wishing they could even eat their meals inside.”

Jiang Suhai was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and then he became furious.

”Cultivation? What kind of Cultivation? They don’t even want their own daughter for the sake of Cultivating!”

Seeing the furious Jiang Suhai, Jiang Chen hurriedly stepped forward to soothe him, reaching out to pat his back with a helpless yet slightly amused tone.

”Grandfather, calm your anger. They also want to become stronger quickly to help the Jiang Family and don’t want to be a burden anymore.”

Jiang Siyao also seemed to understand partially. She let go of Jiang Chen’s neck, tugged at Jiang Suhai’s hem, and said in a soft, sweet voice:

”Grandpa, don’t be angry. Daddy and Mommy will come back to see Yao’er often. They haven’t abandoned Yao’er.”

Looking at the little girl’s upturned face, Jiang Suhai’s anger instantly dissipated by more than half. He sighed, bent down to pick up Jiang Siyao, and gently tapped her nose with his fingertip.

”You little girl, you certainly know how to speak up for your parents.”

He turned to look at Jiang Chen, his expression still carrying a bit of dissatisfaction.

”Strength is meant to be cultivated, but you can’t put the cart before the horse! Yao’er is still so young; as her parents, they should spend more time with her.”

Jiang Chen smiled and nodded in agreement: ”Yes, yes, yes.”

But he thought to himself: They are the parents and I am the son, what can I say? Even if the parents are wrong, it’s not the son’s place to criticize them!

The next day, Jiang Chen arrived at the Family square.

At this moment, several Elders and various people from the clan had gathered together to watch.

In the square, ten youths stood motionless, showing no sign of fluster despite the crowd pointing and talking around them.

”Clan Chief.”

”Clan Chief.”

”Greetings, Clan Chief.”

Seeing Jiang Chen’s arrival, the Elders and the Clan Members bowed one after another. This was their Clan Leader of the Jiang Family. The reason their Jiang Family could develop so well and their strength could increase so quickly was all thanks to this young Clan Chief before them.

Therefore, when Jiang Chen arrived, every single one of the Clan Members showed respect from the bottom of their hearts.

”Good, everyone quiet down.”

Jiang Chen pressed his hands down, and the entire square instantly became silent without a single sound.

”The fact that you can stand here proves that you are the strongest among your peers. For the upcoming period, follow me to The Capital to participate in the Qingfeng Martial Meet. Do you have confidence?”

Jiang Chen said as he looked at the ten Clan Members in the square.

The ten youths in the square looked up upon hearing this, their eyes bursting with fervent light, and their youthful faces were full of determination.

The ten young men and women stepped forward simultaneously, cupped their fists, and shouted loudly:

”We will not fail the Clan Chief’s expectations and will spread the fame of my Jiang Family!”

Their voices were loud and clear, soaring into the clouds, prompting the Clan Members around the square to cheer and applaud thunderously.

Looking at this group of vibrant Clan Members, the corners of Jiang Chen’s mouth curled into a satisfied arc.

With a wave of his hand, ten Storage Pouches engraved with the Jiang Family mark flew into the air and landed precisely in the hands of each youth:

”Inside are healing Medicinal Pills, Fasting Pills, and Protective Talismans. They will be useful on the road.”
