Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

Seeing Chen Xuyan reading some unknown book as soon as he came back from the fight, Jiang Jingxiao felt like something was tickling him.

Some time ago, he saw the book in Shen Qi's hand that Chen Xuyan had found in his hometown. He took great pains to trick her into giving him the book so that she could read it for a while.

I can't help but sigh at the profound heritage of the Chen family.

Even the impoverished Chen family is like this.

Now that it is at its peak, the magic must be more sophisticated.

It would be nice if I could learn it.

But now he obviously doesn't have that chance.

Because Hu Jun discovered that he was secretly learning, he told others.

"What are you looking at? No matter how you look at it, it's not yours." Hu Jundu didn't have a good impression of Chen Xuyan.

Although he didn't have any major ill will towards Jiang Jingxiao, he didn't have any good feelings towards him either.

The next day, it wasn't long after Chen Xuyan was asked to leave.

"Do you have something to talk to me about?" Jiang Jingxiao glanced at the person who came.

"Yes, the patriarch wants to talk to you about something." The man did not use a negotiating tone.

But yes.

If Jiang Jingxiao doesn't go, he also has a way to "invite" him over.

Jiang Yi's eyes looking at this person were not very friendly at this time.

But the guard who spoke did not take Jiang Yi's threat seriously at all.

Jiang Jingxiao reached out and pushed Jiang Yi away.

"It's my honor." Then he bowed with a smile.

Although the guards did not understand his strange etiquette, they still returned the greeting.

After all, don’t hit the smiling person with your hand.

"Just wait for me here, I'll be back soon." Jiang Jingxiao glanced at Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi nodded.

Along the way, Jiang Jingxiao tried to find out something in advance, but the man was very tight-lipped and he couldn't get anything out of him.

The place Jiang Jingxiao went to was not the Chen family ancestral hall.

He was taken to a courtyard.

Chen Chiren, Chen Chiyou and Chen Chixin looked at him.

Although he didn't know their identities, he could vaguely guess from Chen Xuyan's words that the people in front of him should be the elders mentioned by Chen Xuyan.

"Hello." He nodded to the elders.

"Please sit down." Chen Chixin pointed to a seat at the bottom.

Chen Chiyou didn't look at him much. He was just a junior. Did it really matter if all three of them showed up?

The patriarch is really wasted.

With this little skill, it would be better to let him teach Chen Xuyan some magic.

Can Chen Chishan teach well alone?

He was really doubting it.

After all, they had never seen Chen Chishan teach anyone in these years.

What he did most was to hold a book in his arms all day.

He walked around the yard, talking nonsense as he walked.

"We want to ask you for help with something." Chen Chiren spoke.

"You're too polite. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly." Why is he suddenly so polite to me?

Jiang Jingxiao couldn't guess what the man in front of him was thinking.

"You are quite sensible." Chen Chiyou didn't feel that his words were sincere at all.

Instead, I feel that Jiang Jingxiao is very unreliable.

He never liked such smooth-talking people.

Jiang Jingxiao didn't take his malice to heart and almost never looked at him.

He felt that Chen Chiyou had no say in the matter.

In fact, he was right.

Chen Chiren didn't care about this matter either.

"We will send you back soon. We want you to help Chen Xuyan." Chen Chiren went straight to the point.

"Oh? How can I help?" Jiang Jingxiao asked knowingly.

Chen Chiren didn't point it out to him either.

Instead, he continued, "In your world, there are many families that have participated in usurping the Chen family's fortune. Chen Xuyan cannot deal with them all alone."

"Plus, unlike you, he didn't have his talents fully developed at a young age, so he can't fully master some of the Chen family's techniques."

"We want you to help him get rid of these people."

Jiang Jingxiao smiled and said, "My Jiang family was also involved back then. Why do you think I would definitely help Chen Xuyan?"

Chen Chiyou got furious when he heard this.

I've already told you to just turn him into a puppet, why are you still discussing this with him?

What a waste of time.

Jiang Chiyou said, "You are not a member of the Jiang family, the fool next to you is."

Jiang Jingxiao's smile froze instantly when he heard this. "How did you know?"

Chen Chiyou looked at him with disdain, "What could you possibly hide from us?"

"Do you think being a messenger blessed by Heaven is just a title?"

It is because of the decline of later generations that these people have never seen anyone who is truly protected by the Heaven, and they even have lost the basic sense of awe.

How sad.

Seeing Jiang Jingxiao's hesitant expression, Chen Chiyou spoke again.

"Your fate is clearly written on your face. What's so hard to understand?" Chen Chiyou's face was full of expression that said you are too ignorant.

The elders of the Chen family have different strengths.

Chen Chiren is good in all aspects, Chen Chixin is good at fortune-telling, and Chen Chishan is good at judging thoughts.

And what he is best at is fortune-telling.

They even have a dozen elders who are traveling outside and their return date is uncertain.

It just so happened that the four of them were staying in the tribe and not going out.

Is it really that powerful just to read faces? Even in the real world, Jiang Jingxiao has actually seen some masters of face reading.

In addition to facial features, they also need many other conditions to roughly calculate a person's destiny.

It’s not 100%, but some extremely skilled ones can still get 80 to 90 percent of the answers right.

There is even a saying that appearance is not the only thing to consider.

"You are quite right." After hesitating for a while, he could only say this.

Chen Chiren and Chen Chixin couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, but our brother is just like that. Actually, he has a good heart most of the time."

As for other times, it would definitely be when there is a conflict of interest with the Chen family.

"It's okay." Jiang Jingxiao waved his hand with a smile.

"I can promise you this. I can even assure you that I will never betray Chen Xuyan."

"But I need your help with something. Just treat it as a bargaining chip for our transaction."

After Jiang Jingxiao said this, he was still worried.

He knew that the Chen family definitely didn't expect anything from him, and it might just be to make Chen Xuyan act more safely.

But he still has high expectations for what he wants.

Chen Chixin stroked his beard and said, "Tell me about it."

As long as it wasn't something like resurrecting the dead, Chen Chixin didn't think it was a big problem.

It is possible to change his fortune.

But this kid seems to be quite lucky.

"The tall guy with me is called Jiang Yi. He is a real member of the Jiang family."

Chen Chiren nodded, they all knew.

If he wasn't such a fool who was being used, I would have killed him long ago.

"I think you can help me restore his sanity."

"When the Jiang family is liquidated, I believe you will have a way to prevent him from being implicated."

Chen Chiyou frowned and interrupted him, "Where do you get so many requests?"

"I've already said two, what else do you want to say?"

"We are not turtles in the wishing well. If you want to make a wish, go somewhere else." He learned this from his grandson.

They all liked to play around Chen Xuyan, listened to him in everything, and gave him a lot of strange and exotic food.

Jiang Jingxiao decided to quit while he was ahead, "I have only these two conditions."

Chen Chiren nodded and said, "We will consider it."
