Chapter 22 - Old Monsters Who Are Not Human or Ghost
Very quickly, the black-robed man started to explain: The current Jiang Family Lord is the patriarch's son, but this is only on the surface.
When this Jiang Family Lord was brought back, Jiang Tai Sheng and I had already discovered that this was not the Jiang Family's bloodline.
Because he is not of the Jiang Family's bloodline, Jiang Yan is naturally not the Eldest Miss of the Jiang Family. And the children that Jiang Yan gave birth to, are naturally not of the Jiang Family's bloodline either.
"So …"
"That's why Jiang Tai Sheng killed Jiang Yan, then killed Jiang Yan's son. He wanted to turn all of these people who did not belong to the Jiang Family's bloodline into ghosts, and use their souls to suppress the old house in the Jiang Family to reverse the destiny of the Jiang Family, so that the Jiang Family could prosper for a hundred years." I suddenly understood and took over the man in black's words.
If that was the case, then everything made sense.
Because these bloodline did not belong to the Jiang Family, as the patriarch of the Jiang Family, Jiang Tai Sheng would naturally not let them go, even though he had already become a fierce ghost.
Even if he died, he would be a part of the Jiang Family, so he would not allow others to touch his own bloodline.
Although he was the patriarch of the Jiang Family, he understood that the evil ghost was the patriarch of the Jiang Family, and he knew that the evil ghost would not let him go.
Thus, he gradually grew stronger and used some unknown method to acknowledge that master of his. In short, he successfully became a Master Chosen.
Although his ability wasn't enough to suppress a ghost like Jiang Taiseng, he could still protect himself.
As a result, the situation became even more simple.
The current Patriarch could only preserve his own life, not his daughter's life, and not his position as Patriarch. He was afraid that if this carried on, there would be a day when he would be killed by the Jiang Family's Patriarch.
They are afraid that we might be afraid and not announce that he is the patriarch of the Jiang Family, or that he is a very powerful ghost.
He also received a very heavy reward, making everyone think that the mission was very simple.
But he didn't expect that this would be out of his expectations. First, there was an accident like me, second, there was the invisible old ghost beside me, and then there was the man in black beside Jiang Taiseng.
In the past, this black robed man should have maintained a neutral stance in the Jiang Family. After all, he hated Jiang Tai Sheng and had turned him into his current appearance that was neither human nor ghost.
However, the current Patriarch was not a good person either. He couldn't leave the Jiang Family either, so he could only remain silent.
However, my appearance now was a great opportunity for him.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be a little smug. Even though I often meet with ghosts and see a lot of things that I can't solve, this system isn't completely without benefits.
Besides being coveted, it seemed that he could make good use of it in the future.
"I don't care what you did before, what your purpose was in the end. But you must know that this woman is a natural born cauldron, her blood is a great tonic for us."
Therefore, your next mission is to properly protect her and help her raise her strength. For a cauldron like this, the higher her strength is, the more advantageous it is to us.
Of course, as a reward, I will help you find a way to remove the seal on your body. " After Chu Yu finished speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared.
Coming without a shadow, going without a trace, it was definitely this kind of nonsense …
However, why didn't I know that he had said something about sealing?
Right now, he did not have the qualifications to know a lot of things.
"What can you tell me about the seal on your body?" I think I should get on good terms with this guy who is neither human nor ghost. After all, my future life is going to depend on him.
Furthermore, although this person is Bing Bing and his voice is unpleasant to listen to, he seems to have already answered all my questions. He is different from Chu Yu and the Old Boys.
Facing that old ghost, it felt like I was carrying a lot of huge mountains on my back. It was a super heavy burden.
"You can't remove a master and servant seal right now, but if you can increase your strength, you can think of something." A Fan rolled his eyes at me, then closed his eyes and recuperated.
"What you're saying is that the ancestor of the Jiang Family placed a seal on you, both master and servant. Now that the evil ghost Jiang Tai Sheng is dead, the seal on your body didn't disappear, and you have instead been affected to a certain extent.
So you need my blood to keep you going, don't you? "
"Not too stupid." He spat out a few words hoarsely. The man still had his eyes closed, resting his mind, as if the words he spoke just now didn't come from his mouth.
"You —" I choked. "Does this girl look so stupid?"
Is my IQ not within the range of a normal human being?
They were clearly these two who had lived for who knows how many years. They were too monstrous, okay? Although the one in front of them was not a ghost, after living for so many years, he was still an old monster.
To put it harshly, if I had lived for so many years, I could have become a pig, could I not?
Of course, these words could only be spoken in his heart. A wise man knows his place.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to survive until now.
"That — Mr. Black Robe, what should we do now?"
"My name is A Fan."
"But, isn't that the name given to him by the patriarch of the Jiang Family? "Um, you're already so old, is that really the right name for me to call it?" Actually, I don't want to call him Mr. Black Robe.
However, didn't these experts all have weird tempers? What if this old monster in front of them also had some? Moreover, A Fan seemed to be calling him a little brother.
He did not know what kind of habit that clan elder had, to give a servant such a name, if there was another word, it would become A Fan's name.
"Isn't that a book? Read it yourself, memorize everything that's written on it. After you write it down, you won't ask me again."
Damn — are you so awesome? I rolled my eyes.
After all, the books that Chu Yu had found for me were books that had gone through a lot in all sorts of fields. I didn't believe that the old monster that was trapped in the Jiang Family would actually know so much.
Other than the evil ghost, the only other person in Jiang Family was the current Patriarch, the Head of the Guards. Furthermore, the Head Master wasn't the type of person who would tell him everything.
"You don't believe me?" The gong's voice spat out another three words.
"No, no, heheh —" I gave him a doggy smile, then stuck out my tongue and made a face out of the corner of my eye.
Who cares if they believed him!
