When Wei Wuxian traveled back in time

After talking with Jin Ling, Wei Wuxian took Lan Wangji to find Jiang Fengmian.

After all, the formal birthday banquet is tomorrow, and today can be said to be an early gathering for the whole family.

Since Jin Ling came earlier, after Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji arrived, Jin Zixuan and Jiang Yanli also arrived one after another.

The staff are almost all here.

After Wei Wuxian met Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan in the yard, they all sat together, talking and laughing, making it quite lively.

It is not often that such a happy gathering is attended by almost everyone, with smiles on everyone's faces.

However, at this moment, Jiang Fengmian, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly said, "Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. I have something important to discuss among our family members first."

His voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly.

Everyone present instantly fell silent, turned their eyes over, and listened intently to what was to be said next.

Jiang Fengmian said in a steady tone: "I have decided to hand over the position of the head of the Yunmeng Jiang family to Ah Cheng, and let him succeed as the next head of the Yunmeng Jiang family."

All the noble families have always upheld the tradition of giving priority to blood relationship in inheritance. Therefore, Jiang Fengmian's announcement was completely within everyone's expectations.

Jiang Fengmian suddenly told this at this time, and this sudden news stunned everyone.

For a moment, the room was so quiet that you could almost hear a pin drop.

Jiang Cheng froze in place, not daring to move.

Compared with the reactions of the crowd, Yu Ziyuan next to her picked up the tea in front of her and took a sip, looking calm and composed, as if she had known about this for a long time and agreed with it very much.

Wei Wuxian's gaze moved between Jiang Yanli and Jiang Cheng. The three of them exchanged glances, and they all seemed to think that this incident was very sudden.

The sight passed several times.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Yanli finally spoke first, "Father, are you feeling unwell? If there is any problem with your body, please tell us as soon as possible so that we can get treatment."

Jiang Fengmian always had a gentle smile on his face. More than ten years had passed, but time had not left any traces on his face. Instead, he seemed to be more and more calm and easy-going.

He said, "I'm in good health, don't worry."

Jiang Cheng asked: "Then why are you...?"

Jiang Fengmian waved his hand to signal everyone to listen to him: "It has nothing to do with my health. I just feel that I am old enough, and Ah Cheng..."

When Jiang Cheng heard Jiang Fengmian calling his name, his body shook, and his back, which was already sitting straight, became even straighter, like a javelin stuck in the ground.

Jiang Fengmian spoke softly, "…You are not young anymore. It is said that one should be independent at the age of 30, and should start a family first and then a career. I originally wanted to wait for you, Cheng, to get married before I could completely hand over the affairs of the clan to you. But I didn't expect that you were reluctant to get married, so this matter has been put on hold."

Hearing this, Wei WuXian quietly leaned over to Lan WangJi’s ear and whispered, “Brother seems to be the same.”

Lan Xichen has not yet inherited the position of head of the family.

In a family of immortal cultivators, the opportunity to pass the position of family head to the next generation is usually after the next generation gets married, or when the elders truly believe that the younger generation has the ability to shoulder the real burden of the entire family, the position of family head will be handed over naturally.

Lan Wangji said calmly, "We don't need to worry about brother's marriage."

The Lan family has always been very strict and attaches great importance to the marriage of their children.

They believe that only by marrying the person they are destined to be with and who they love can they achieve a happy marriage.

If you cannot meet the destined person, the one you love in this life, it only means that you have no love in this life.

The elders in the family will never urge or force you to get married.

In recent years, with the increasing stability of the Immortal Sect, Qingheng Jun chose to practice in seclusion again.

Although the position of patriarch has not yet been officially handed over to Lan Xichen, the power in Lan Xichen's hands is no different from that of the patriarch.

Wei WuXian smiled and said, “Since my brother is so outstanding, I am certainly not worried. I am just very curious about what kind of people like my brother would like.”

Lan Wangji shook his head slowly: "I don't know."

Although Jiang Cheng is not opposed to the idea of ​​getting married, he can be said to be indifferent. He can get married or not.

In his previous blind date experiences, Jiang Cheng approached those girls in a very natural manner.

He said whatever he wanted to say and did whatever he wanted to do, but in the end, he often couldn't figure out what he said or did, which made the girl angry.

Faced with such a result, Jiang Cheng simply thought that these girls had bad tempers and were not gentle and housekeeping enough, so it was so difficult to get along with them.

This has been the case every time, and the blind date has failed faster and faster than the last.

With his parents worrying about his marriage, all those fragmented and not-so-good memories emerged in Jiang Cheng's mind.

These memories are not very beautiful but very warm. A trace of tenderness and attachment flashed across Jiang Cheng's eyes: "I am sorry that my father and mother have troubled me with these things..."

Yu Ziyuan said, "Of course I took the trouble. Over the years, I have arranged for you to meet so many good girls. They all came to meet you with smiles on their faces. Every time, I felt that it would work out, but in the end, none of them liked you. What on earth is wrong with you?"

"puff--!"

It was inappropriate. Two bursts of laughter came from the side, which was very abrupt.

Yu Ziyuan's eyes were as sharp as a knife, shooting straight in the direction where the laughter came from.

Upon seeing this, Wei Wuxian and Jin Ling quickly lowered their heads, but their shoulders could not help but tremble. They were trying their best to hold back the laughter that was about to be uncontrollable.

In response to Yu Ziyuan's question, Jiang Fengmian said to Jiang Cheng in an understanding tone: "I know what you are thinking and what you mean. I guess it's because you haven't met someone you like in all these years and you don't want to give in."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room lowered their heads at the same time, and everyone thought of the same thing.

When Jiang Fengmian said the four words "not willing to compromise", anyone could associate it with what happened between him and Yu Ziyuan.

People always say that they are a pair of resentful lovers, but after so many years, the sharpness between them has become much softer than in previous years, as if the years have smoothed out their edges.

Maybe it's in recent years, or maybe it's since the year Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji got married, Yu Ziyuan's temper has become a lot less bad.

Wei Wuxian knew the reason very well. It was probably because he didn't stay in Lotus Pier very often, so out of sight, out of mind.

However, if Yu Ziyuan was unhappy without Wei Wuxian's presence, then the focus would shift to other issues.
