Chapter 1976: Chapter 1978: Seating Arrangements at a Family Banquet?
"Even if it’s just for show, the Jiang Clan’s atmosphere has worsened under Jiang Yurong. After all, it’s also my father’s family.
In any case, I must attend. It’s also a declaration that even in the new era, I, Jiang Meng, am not inferior to anyone."
Jiang Meng is also a strong-willed girl.
"Alright, in that case, let’s go with it."
Since Jiang Meng wanted to go, Xiao Chen naturally wouldn’t stop her; he would go with her.
He wanted to see what interesting events would unfold at this family dinner.
If he’s not afraid of the Beiqi Ancient Clan, why would he fear the Jiang Clan? They’re merely a dog of the Beiqi Ancient Clan.
Glazed Glass City, Jiang Clan.
The family dinner was being held at home today.
The Jiang residence was quite large, and they’d invited a famous chef for the evening.
In the entire Glazed Glass City, such an event was quite unique.
Nowadays, if you talk about the number one family in Glazed Glass City, it must be the Jiang Clan.
They’ve climbed the ladder with the Beiqi Ancient Clan; they couldn’t stay weak even if they wanted to.
Though Huang Sihai’s Huang Family in Glazed Glass City had regained their former residence with Xiao Chen’s help, they were not as glorious as the Jiang Clan anymore.
At least, that’s how it appeared on the surface.
But in actuality, the number of skilled people in the Huang Family far exceeded that in the Jiang Clan.
Especially since Huang Sihai was extremely loyal to Xiao Chen; how could Xiao Chen let him be humiliated?
During this period, many were trained for the Huang Family.
The Jiang family’s dinner had already begun.
The place they lived in now was in no way smaller than the Huang Family’s residence in Glazed Glass City.
When people saw Xiao Chen and others appear, their expressions were filled with sarcasm and ridicule.
Before, because Jiang Meng was the chairman of the Xinmeng Group, and Xiao Chen was the King Yama War God,
those positions were indeed unmatched.
Who wouldn’t greet them with reverence?
But things were different now; times had changed.
Jiang Meng’s identity as chairman wasn’t as valuable anymore.
Xiao Chen had even become a waste.
Being laughed at was quite normal.
"Haha, I really don’t understand Jiang Meng. Isn’t it better to find a powerful man to protect Xinmeng Group now, rather than sticking with that waste?"
"Exactly. Her man was indeed glorious in the past and even defeated the Tyrant King. But now he’s just a freeloader waste, and she can’t bear to leave him?"
"In today’s Martial Dao Era, if someone wants your company, they can just come and take it. Even the country can’t control it. She’s such a stubborn woman."
"That waste is quite inconsiderate, isn’t he? If he had any sense, he should leave Jiang Meng voluntarily."
Everyone had something to say, and many had quite a few opinions about Xiao Chen.
They believed that since Xiao Chen was now useless, he should leave Jiang Meng.
Jiang Yurong also saw Xiao Chen and Jiang Meng, but she just gave them a cold glance without speaking.
But that gaze was filled with dissatisfaction and indifference.
Jiang Yurong wasn’t that concerned about her own son and grandson anymore.
She now favored her adopted sons, Jiang Tiande and Jiang Tianshui.
Jiang Yurong had once adopted two kids, who were taken away when they were seven or eight, and she thought they had been abducted, so she didn’t pay it much mind.
She didn’t even go looking for them.
After all, they were just adopted, and she didn’t care.
But unexpectedly, both returned, and both had honed their martial skills.
They claimed they hadn’t been abducted but had been taken away by a big shot from Tianxia City for cultivation.
Now they returned to repay the Jiang Clan.
Hearing this, Jiang Yurong valued Jiang Tiande and Jiang Tianshui immensely.
Jiang Tiande was already in his forties, and Jiang Tianshui in his thirties.
Upon returning, Jiang Tianshui took a liking to Jiang Meng and hoped Jiang Yurong would help push the matter along.
Jiang Yurong agreed.
So tonight’s banquet was largely to match Jiang Meng and Jiang Tianshui together.
In Jiang Yurong’s view, women all loved strong men, and with Jiang Tianshui’s prowess, Jiang Meng would surely fancy him.
Once a woman’s heart changes, no man can stop it.
Xiao Chen and the others didn’t mind and chose a spot to sit down.
Suddenly, a voice came, "Jiang Meng, you’re sitting in the wrong spot. Your designated seats are over there!"
In the corner, a table without chairs was set.
That was arranged for Old Master Jiang, Liu Xin, Jiang Meng, and Xiao Chen.
The speaker was Jiang Yurong’s brother, a peer to Old Master Jiang.
"But there are no seats there."
Old Master Jiang frowned.
The old man laughed, "That’s right; there’s a particular seating order for tonight’s banquet, all arranged according to each family’s martial prowess.
Don’t mistake it for monetary strength; I know your family is wealthy.
But with our seating, we prioritize martial dao strength.
In this new era, martial arts prevail and are more important than power or money.
The first table requires a King Level master in the family;
The second table needs an Overlord Level master;
The third table necessitates a Great Grandmaster;
And so on, and from what I know, there are no decent masters in your family, Right?
You’ll have to sit over there."
"Why are you standing there? That’s the seat arranged for you."
Jiang Yurong said coldly, "Hurry up and get over there!"
Xiao Chen had no intention of getting up and held Jiang Meng’s hand, saying, "If those are the rules, then it’s simple.
We shouldn’t be sitting here; we should be at the first table.
There are more King Level masters in our home than we can count on both hands."
"Hahaha..."
The crowd burst into loud laughter.
They had no understanding of Xiao Chen, nor of the Xiao family’s situation.
So everyone thought Xiao Chen was boasting.
They laughed so hard they almost couldn’t catch their breath.
"More King Level masters than you can count on one hand? Even the Beiqi Ancient Clan wouldn’t dare boast like that."
"Exactly! This guy must be counting the Twelve Gods of War as their own. A waste pretending the Twelve Gods of War would still obey him?"
"What a disgrace!"
"Liu Xin, your son-in-law isn’t entirely useless. He sure can boast!"
The crowd burst into laughter.
Old Master Jiang and Liu Xin both looked very upset.
Xiao Yingxiong, with his big eyes blinking, didn’t know what was happening and was very curious.
Xiao Yazi was furious.
Why were these people laughing at them?
Xiao Chen, however, had a cold smile on his face and led everyone to the first table, ignoring the mockery and ridicule.
Jiang Yurong was just about to scold.
Suddenly, someone arrived outside.
It was Jiang Yurong’s two adopted sons.
Jiang Tiande and Jiang Tianshui.
They were the absolute main characters today; Jiang Tiande was an Entry Level Emperor, a force perhaps not inferior to the Tyrant King.
Although Jiang Tianshui was only at King Perfection, he was much younger than Jiang Tiande, and the future held great potential for him.
So everyone, including Jiang Yurong, went to greet them.
Only Xiao Chen’s family remained seated.
Jiang Tiande smiled helplessly and said, "Sorry, mother, it wasn’t our intention to be late. We heard today that War God King came to Glazed Glass City.
We wanted to see him but ended up missing him and thus arrived late."
"War God King!"
When everyone heard this, they exclaimed in shock.
