Chapter 108 Jiang Wan's Blame
"Look, the poor devil is coming!!"
The young men from the surrounding noble families burst into laughter, their eyes full of contempt and ridicule.
As they looked at Jiang Zhen and the slightly shabby Jiang family members, the sneers on their faces became more and more obvious.
"Humph, considering how poor they look, they dare to come to the Tianji Pavilion's auction house. I'm afraid they can't even afford an ordinary item."
A young man from a noble family dressed in gorgeous clothes crossed his arms and smiled widely.
"An alchemy family? Looking at their dilapidated state now, they have lost all their former glory."
Another young lady from an aristocratic family gently waved her fan, her eyes full of contempt. But deep down, she was jealous of Jiang Wan, the Jiang family's favorite, and she was going crazy.
As soon as Jiang Zhen and his family arrived at the gate of Tianji Pavilion, they were ridiculed endlessly.
The faces of the Jiang family elders and disciples had long been numb. This was not the first or second time they had been ridiculed. Before, they would have taken action instead of speaking.
But the consequence is that the Jiang family is finding it increasingly difficult under the joint suppression of various families.
Each impulsive counterattack was met with even more violent retaliation. The family's resources were further plundered, their business was plagued by obstacles, and the disciples' cultivation was severely affected.
So after listening to it for a while, I got used to it. Their Jiang family was indeed in decline.
"Look! The Soul Sect, the number one sect in the King Continent, is here too!!"
Someone exclaimed in surprise, and everyone who was still "rubbing salt in the wound" turned their heads and looked at a group of people walking towards them from a distance. Wu Yang was walking over with the sect disciples.
There were two women beside him. One was Jiang Wan, who was as cold as snow. She was wearing a white dress that fluttered in the wind. Her eyes were full of pride and alienation, as if nothing in the world could catch her eye.
Although she has an arrogant temperament, she is so gentle when facing Wu Yang.
The other is the lively and playful Lin Ru, wearing a light pink outfit, with her long hair tied into a ponytail. Her bright eyes look around, full of curiosity about everything around her.
But she showed no disguising her admiration and love for the sect's senior brother. She always followed Wu Yang closely, chattering away, as if she had endless energy.
Wu Yang was always tolerant of Lin Ru's liveliness, occasionally revealing a faint smile, and the love in his eyes could not be concealed.
"Sister Jiang, look, your father is here too. Do you want to go and say hello?" Lin Ru glanced at Jiang Wan, and the smile on his face became even wider.
Jiang Wan frowned slightly and her eyes fell on Jiang Zhen, who looked a little embarrassed in front of her.
Hearing that the Tianji Pavilion was auctioning a Heaven-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill today, the sect came here specially, although the sect was determined to obtain this pill.
But her family was once one of the most aristocratic families in King's City. Although a lean camel is bigger than a horse, what's the difference between appearing here now and asking for humiliation?
It's not like her grandfather, Jiang Xun, had not refined a Marrow Cleansing Pill for her before, but it was only Earth-grade, far less precious to her than this one. It was also her grandfather's fault for not being able to refine a Heaven-grade pill for her.
It is said that if she takes this pill, she can reach the Nascent Soul stage without any bottlenecks. If she reaches the Nascent Soul stage...
She turned her head and her cold eyes fell on Lin Ru. Humph, what can the junior sister use to compete with her then?
Lin Ru was stunned by Jiang Wan's sudden cold gaze.
Then she reacted and stuck out her tongue playfully, "Sister Jiang, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?"
At this time, Jiang Zhen came over with his family. He hadn't seen his daughter Jiang Wan for two years!
His eyes fell on Jiang Wan as if he were looking at a treasure in the world.
However, when he saw Jiang Wan's cold and distant expression, a trace of guilt and helplessness surged in his heart.
It's all his fault. If the family hadn't been so incompetent and failed to get good training resources for Wan'er, she wouldn't have to suffer in the Soul Sect.
However, in order to make Wan'er look up to others, they used all the family's strength to search for all kinds of rare treasures in the world two years ago, and also helped her cultivate to the late Golden Core stage.
Although not as perfect as Wu Yang's Golden Elixir, he is still several times stronger than other disciples of the Soul Sect.
"Wan'er..." Jiang Zhen's voice trembled slightly. He wanted to say something but hesitated, not knowing where to start.
Jiang Wan looked at her slightly embarrassed father, and a hint of disgust emerged in her heart again.
"Dad, come with me." Jiang Wan glanced at her father and led them to a corner.
Lin Ru looked at this group of shabby people with contempt in his eyes.
But when she found Wu Yang looking at her, she immediately regained her innocent and lively appearance and called out sweetly, "Brother Yang!"
Wu Yang looked at Lin Ru lovingly. His little junior sister was lively and innocent, unlike Jiang Wan, who was useless except for bringing him some cultivation resources.
She is not as innocent and kind as his junior sister, and he also looks down on Jiang Wan's cold and superior attitude.
Jiang Wan led the Jiang family to a corner and said in a reproachful tone, "Dad, what are you doing here? The Jiang family is in such a state of decline now, so don't embarrass yourself here."
Jiang Wan's words were like a sharp blade, piercing Jiang Zhen's heart.
There was still a hint of disdain in her eyes, and she looked at Jiang Zhen and the Jiang family members in front of her as if they were a group of burdens that were holding her back.
The excited smile on Jiang Zhen's face froze instantly, replaced by deep self-blame and helplessness.
"Wan'er, I know you have many complaints against the Jiang family, but we are family after all. I came here this time to buy the Marrow Cleansing Pill for you, so that you can go further on the path of cultivation."
Jiang Wan snorted coldly, "With the Jiang family's current strength, you dare to dream of bidding for the Heaven-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill? Stop daydreaming. Haven't I suffered enough in the Soul Sect? If it weren't for your incompetence, how could I be looked down upon everywhere?"
The Jiang family members behind Jiang Zhen listened to Jiang Wan's words, and shame appeared on their faces. They knew that what Jiang Wan said was true, and the Jiang family was indeed unable to provide her with strong support.
"Wan'er, I know I was wrong. But we have been working hard, hoping that one day the Jiang family can rise again and you will no longer suffer injustice." Jiang Zhen's voice was full of pleading.
However, Jiang Wan remained unmoved. "Effort? What's the point of your efforts? Where were you when I was being ridiculed in the Soul Sect? What could you give me when I needed cultivation resources?"
Now all the strong men from the continent have come here to fight for the Marrow Cleansing Pill. Her father is not staying at home, but has come here to embarrass himself, which has made her lose face.
She didn't ask for her family to bring her any glory in the future, but at least they couldn't let her be embarrassed everywhere.
Jiang Zhen felt bitter when he saw Jiang Wan's disapproving expression.
It was he who was useless, and it was his family's uselessness that held Wan'er back.
