Chapter 18: Competition to Determine Resources

"Haha." Jiang Shan was unmoved by what he said. He just laughed, waved his folding fan, and said slowly, "Don't worry, second sister-in-law. We made this decision for a reason."

"First of all, you are a woman. You can't show up like us men and work hard for the Jiang family."

"Secondly, as the third brother said just now, niece Tingyi will get married sooner or later, and she will belong to someone else's family. It's a loss for our Jiang family to spend resources to train her."

"Loss?" Xu Yin looked at Jiang Shan in disbelief, "Is this a loss? You also have a daughter, Do you think that you do n’t think you are in a resource to cultivate your daughter? Xu Yin looked at Jiang Mingxuan and Jiang Minghao at the bottom of his nose. Jiang Tingyi, who is far from Jiang Minghao, is already nine years old this year. It can be expected that when Jiang Tingyi reaches their age, her achievements will far exceed their current ones.

For a moment, both Jiang Mingxuan and Jiang Minghao showed a hint of jealousy in their eyes!

"It seems that my second brother and sister-in-law are not going to give me this face today?" Jiang Shan said in a deep voice.

Xu Yin said coldly: "The Jiang family is a martial arts family, and naturally talent should determine everything. Big brother, if you don't allocate resources according to talent, it's really hard to convince people, right?"

"Second Madam is right..."

"Allocating resources according to talent is the fairest way..."

The Jiang family's side martial artists present began to discuss.

Jiang Shan listened to their discussions one after another, but his face was calm and at ease!

Since he decided to deduct the Xiaoyuandan of the second room today, he has made all preparations, so how could he leave a handle for others to talk about?

"Mingxuan!" Jiang Shan called his son.

"Dad!" Jiang Mingxuan immediately stood up, walked forward, and faced Jiang Tingyi.

Jiang Shan said calmly: "Second sister-in-law, since you keep saying that you want to allocate resources according to strength, then let's satisfy you and let these two children compete!"

"If Tingyi wins, the second room's Xiaoyuandan will remain at ten per month. If Mingxuan wins, the second room's Xiaoyuandan will be reduced to two per month. How about it?" Jiang Shan said.

"Humph, why not?"

Xu Yin snorted coldly. It's not that she didn't see Jiang Shan's trick. The other party deliberately replaced "talent" with "strength" and forcibly ignored the age difference, letting the fifteen-year-old Jiang Tingyi and the twenty-year-old Jiang Mingxuan compete on the same field. It was obviously unfair to Jiang Tingyi.

However, Xu Yin believed in her daughter. Jiang Tingyi and Jiang Mingxuan were both in the ninth level of the Qi Induction Realm, and their martial arts were also equally matched. If they really had to compete, Jiang Tingyi might not have no chance of winning.

Soon, the two tables in the middle of the meeting room were moved aside, and a competition venue was vacated in the middle of the hall.

Jiang Mingxuan and Jiang Tingyi stood opposite each other in the venue.

Just when the two sides were about to start the duel.

"Wait!"

Third Master Jiang He suddenly interrupted.

"It seems that it is not enough for Jiang Mingxuan and Jiang Tingyi to compete!" Jiang He said in a muffled voice.

Xu Yin frowned: "What do you mean?"

"He!"

Jiang He pointed at Su Chen beside Xu Yin!

"Since it is a duel between the younger generation, how can your nephew not be on the stage?" Jiang He sneered.

Xu Yin subconsciously refused: "Xiao Chen is not from the Jiang family..."

"No matter whether he is from the Jiang family or not, since he is now sitting at the table of the Jiang family's direct lineage, he is also considered a member of the Jiang family." Jiang He interrupted Xu Yin with a sneer, his eyes revealing undisguised sarcasm.

The meaning is obvious, who asked you to let this nephew sit in the direct lineage seat before?

Since he is sitting in this position, it is not so easy to refuse now!

Jiang He had investigated Xu Yin's nephew early in the morning. As an abandoned disciple driven out of Zhengyi Sect, he would not have much strength.

Although the scale and status of Zhengyi Sect are far higher than that of Jiang Family, even a fool would know that the abandoned disciple with less than 1,000 people in Zhengyi Sect is much stronger than the top direct descendants of Jiang Family.

After saying that, Jiang He shouted, "Minghao!" without waiting for Xu Yin's reaction.

Jiang Minghao is Jiang He's son. Hearing this, he stood up from his seat and walked to Jiang He's side.

"No!" Xu Yin refused immediately. She knew what Jiang He meant. He must let Jiang Minghao and Su Chen compete.

But Jiang Minghao was at the eighth level of Qi Induction Realm, and when Su Chen first came to Qinghe City, Xu Yin checked that his cultivation was at the seventh level of Qi Induction Realm.

The difference between the two cultivation levels was a whole level. How could Su Chen win?

Jiang He laughed loudly: "Are you afraid that my Minghao will hurt your nephew? Don't worry, I will ask Haoer not to hit him too hard!"

"Waste!" Jiang Minghao on the side sneered disdainfully. As a warrior, he didn't even dare to go on the field to compete, and he needed a woman to stand in front of him. What else could he be but a waste?

Swish!

At the moment when Jiang Minghao's voice fell.

Su Chen, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes!

His eyes were like a sharp sword, piercing Jiang Minghao's eyes!

Jiang Minghao couldn't help but tremble in his heart. Under Su Chen's gaze, he actually felt the hair on his back stand on end!

That feeling was like a sheep suddenly being stared at by a wolf. The instantaneous chill made Jiang Minghao feel like he was falling into an ice cave.

"You said I was a waste, so if you lose to me, what are you?" Su Chen said lightly.

"Lose to you? Impossible!"

Jiang Minghao subconsciously refuted, and at the same time secretly annoyed in his heart that he was just looked down upon by a guy who was not as strong as him!

It must be that he had an illusion just now. This guy is not to be feared at all!

"I hope you remember what you said just now." Su Chen smiled lightly, stood up from his chair, and walked to Xu Yin.

"Xiao Chen, do you really want to compete?" Xu Yin asked.

"Yes." Su Chen nodded.

Xu Yin hesitated to speak. She didn't want to hit Su Chen's confidence, but in her opinion, Su Chen had almost no chance of winning.

Su Chen was calm and composed. In fact, from the moment Jiang He pointed at him, he guessed that Jiang He was going to drag him into the game.

In his previous life, Jiang He did not do this, probably because Su Chen was already a useless person in his previous life, so there was no need to drag him out and humiliate him again.

Thinking of this, Su Chen could not help but sneer secretly. He did not expect that he would not become a useless person in this life, but was targeted by Jiang He instead.

However, this is just right. People who target themselves will never have a good end.
