550: Chapter 395 550: Chapter 395 “Three against one on my ancestor, that’s just shameless, isn’t it?”
Tang Yanhong was a bit concerned that her family’s elder was at a disadvantage; she overlooked the fact that it was the elder who had struck first.
Upon hearing what Tang Yanhong said, people were speechless, wondering who exactly had been shameless first.
Those who understood what Jiang Tang said thought that an elder attacking a junior was already shameless.
Can’t someone else’s elder come to the rescue?
Ye Tian didn’t want to discuss this issue with a woman, but the incident today, it was indeed their family elder who was in the wrong, attempting to kill and rob, so what was three against one?
He wasn’t someone who would just tolerate bullying; he too had an ancestor, alright.
Jiang Tang did have some feelings for Tang Yanhong and seeing her anxious, he spoke to reassure her.
“Tang Yanhong, don’t worry.
Your family elder’s poison didn’t put them at a disadvantage, and the other three were poisoned later on.
However, I’ve already neutralized it.”
Only then did Tang Yanhong dare to glance at Jiang Tang again.
An elder was a precious treasure for a clan, akin to a guardian deity—if the elder fell, their family would have to relinquish their title as one of the Ten Great Clans.
This was why she was worried about her elder’s safety.
“Jiang Tang, thank you for telling me that.
I only said those words because I was worried about our elder…”
Jiang Tang nodded without saying much more; he had already understood before, and of course, he was willing to be tolerant of this woman.
Then, the other women from the Top Ten Clans asked about the condition of their elders.
Jiang Tang told them that as Great Power Holders, their ancestors were unlikely to be in peril.
He couldn’t help but glance at Dugu Yan’er as he said this.
Someone had released Worm Insects previously, and of course, he knew about it.
The one who had set those insects must have been Dugu Yan’er’s family elder.
It seemed that the most devious individuals among the Top Ten Clans were all associated with poison and worms; with two such women at his side now, did he have reason to feel fortunate or worry about being schemed against in the future?
Jiang Tang didn’t voice these thoughts; such matters should be discussed privately.
Dugu Yan’er was puzzled by Jiang Tang’s look.
Wasn’t it said that all their ancestors were alright?
Why was Jiang Tang looking at her like that?
Wasn’t it said that the one who chased Ye Tian was the Tang Family elder and that her own elder was just following and watching the drama…
Thinking this, Dugu Yan’er inevitably speculated a bit.
Could it be that her ancestor secretly made a move and was discovered by Jiang Tang when he arrived?
To her own conjecture, Dugu Yan’er felt there might be a bit of truth.
She had once secretly considered using worms on Jiang Tang as well.
Unbeknownst to both gods and ghosts to control Jiang Tang, perhaps her elder had similar thoughts.
It was just unfortunate that they encountered Jiang Tang, a difficult opponent, and their covert actions were exposed.
The women of the Top Ten Clans expressed a desire to go out and see their elders.
Jiang Tang remained silent upon hearing this.
Although they were their ancestors outside, perhaps it was fortunate for the juniors to see them.
But this had nothing to do with him; as an elder who disrespected his seniority, he picked on juniors.
Actually, Jiang Tang was somewhat irked.
Ye Tian was his friend, and he had come from afar to help.
Only to discover these Great Power Holders were after the energy in Ye Tian’s possession, energy he had given.
Jiang Tang felt that going to meet those people at this moment would lead to them asking Ye Tian where his energy came from.
Of course, that would expose him again and possibly cause those old monsters to make a fatal mistake in their greed, contemplating stealing his things, and shamelessly ganging up on him.
Jiang Tang understood that when it came to benefits, even friends could become enemies.
He had been targeted for murder over treasure multiple times, those were Capable Beings, and he had experienced the feeling of being unable to protect his own possessions from theft.
After much thought, he felt that meeting those old monsters wasn’t right just then; for now, he couldn’t meet them, and neither could Ye Tian.
Jiang Tang considered not only his treasures but also both his bases.
Although Ye Tian had now solved the land issue for him, and the construction of the first base had begun with many Energy Stones placed within during construction,
there was no guarantee that the Great Power Holder wouldn’t breach the Formation, the one designed by the monkey to conceal resources, and discover more secrets inside.
Jiang Tang was entirely considering the base; he couldn’t allow his hard-found place to fall into the hands of others before he had the capacity to defend it.
That was his thought process, but facing the nine women’s desire to see their ancestor, that longing to see their kin, he couldn’t stop them; he couldn’t even stop Ye Tian from seeing his ancestor.
He could only let them choose for themselves and didn’t want his prevention to become a reason for their grudge.
“All of you wishing to see your ancestors can do so, and Brother Ye Tian may also see his ancestor.
However, I want to make one thing clear, if I let you go see your ancestors, I won’t appear.
After you’ve seen your ancestors, you can’t come back to my base.
Do you all understand what I mean?”
The nine women, who were previously elated and pleading, now stared blankly at Jiang Tang, unsure how to decide.
Ye Tian was the first to respond, “Jiang Tang, I came to see you this time, and I also wanted to meet your Shimei.
It doesn’t matter if I don’t see my own ancestor, he will naturally return to our clan if he can’t find me.”
