Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 1184: Youth Without Passion Is Wasted


Jiang Wuqi listened to Ye Xiao's words and couldn't help but smile slightly. Actually, he did it on purpose just now. No matter what, he doesn't want anyone to shake the Jiang Family's status in Bird City, even if this person is Ye Xiao, Jiang Wuqi absolutely doesn't wish for it.

And now that Ye Xiao has said these things, it's equivalent to showing his stance!

"It's up to you how to handle it." Jiang Wuqi said with a smile, "For things like this in the future, there's no need to specifically tell me. It's better for young people like you to make your own decisions."

Ye Xiao smiled slightly and looked at Jiang Wuqi, saying, "Thank you, old man."

"You'd better call me Grandpa Jiang, it sounds more natural!" Jiang Wuqi said.

Ye Xiao quickly replied, "Yes, Grandpa Jiang."

Jiang Wuqi checked the time; it was already around eleven-thirty and he said with a smile, "It's lunch time, why don't you stay for lunch today."

"Well, I'm afraid I can't!" Ye Xiao said with some difficulty.

Seeing Ye Xiao, who was just full of spirit a moment ago, now looking troubled, Jiang Wuqi laughed and said, "What's wrong? Do you have other plans?"

Ye Xiao said, "It's Coco. Before I came, Coco sent me a text saying she found a school for my god-sister and asked me to treat her to a meal."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Wuqi laughed and said, "So it's that girl Coco. Alright then, it's never too late to come another day. After all, there's plenty of time ahead."

Jiang Wuqi's smiling expression at that moment left Ye Xiao a bit amazed; he always felt that Jiang Wuqi's words had another meaning.

Ye Xiao exchanged pleasantries with Jiang Wuqi for a couple of sentences, and then prepared to leave. Right at that time, Jiang Zhongzheng and Jiang Chuan came in.

"Ye Xiao!" Seeing Ye Xiao, Jiang Chuan said with a smile, "I heard your skills have improved quite a bit."

Ye Xiao smiled, "Brother Chuan, you're joking."

At this point, Jiang Zhongzheng smiled and said to Ye Xiao, "Ye Xiao, it's lunch time. Don't leave at noon."

"Uncle Jiang, I really have to go today; I have something to do." Ye Xiao apologized to Jiang Zhongzheng, "Another time, I will definitely come again."

Jiang Chuan immediately looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Ye Xiao, I just returned, and you're going to leave already? We should at least chat a bit."

"Having lunch here just isn't possible today. There's someone quite important I need to have a meal with, but if you'd like to join, it's not out of the question." Ye Xiao said with a smile to Jiang Chuan.

Ye Xiao spoke with intentional mystery, making Jiang Chuan curious, "Who could be worth your attention like this? Is it a girl?"

Ye Xiao smiled and glanced at Jiang Wuqi, then said, "Indeed, a girl."

"No wonder!" Jiang Chuan immediately laughed, "No wonder. Since it's a girl, I won't interfere; I don't intend to be a third wheel."

"What third wheel?" At this point, Jiang Wuqi said, "Ye Xiao is talking about Coco, you should go along. Haven't you not seen Coco in a few days?"

Jiang Chuan froze, not understanding what Jiang Wuqi meant. Ye Xiao going to have a meal with Jiang Miaoke is clearly a rather ambiguous occasion, so what's the point of him tagging along as the big brother?

Jiang Chuan didn't get it, but Ye Xiao understood very well and said to Jiang Chuan with a smile, "Brother Chuan, come along. Yanyuan University has so many beauties, perhaps… hey hey, you get it."

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Jiang Chuan immediately gave a bitter smile. What's this reasoning? Does Ye Xiao not want to be with Coco? He's speaking so casually in front of Grandpa and Father.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Wuqi laughed heartily and said, "What's youth without a bit of romance? Jiang Chuan, you should learn from Ye Xiao."

Learn from him?

Jiang Chuan was stunned by Jiang Wuqi's words. Is this still the esteemed Grandpa he knows?

Actually, at this moment, not only Jiang Chuan, but even Jiang Zhongzheng was slightly surprised. He truly didn't expect his father to ask Jiang Chuan to learn from Ye Xiao. Although the meaning wasn't clear, his father was wise, so there must be reason behind it. He said to Jiang Chuan, "Jiang Chuan, listen to Grandpa."

Jiang Chuan really felt a bit helpless at the time. Previously, Grandpa taught him martial arts, taught him calligraphy, and advised him on being a person. He never imagined that today Grandpa would ask him to learn from Ye Xiao how to court girls. His worldview was completely disrupted.

Jiang Chuan nodded and said to Jiang Wuqi, "Yes, Grandpa!"

At this point, Ye Xiao checked the time then clasped his fists and respectfully saluted Jiang Wuqi, saying, "Grandpa Jiang, I'll make a move, I'll definitely come by to have a drink with you another day."

"Alright then, go on." Jiang Wuqi said.

Afterward, Ye Xiao greeted Jiang Zhongzheng and then directly dragged Jiang Chuan out of the main hall.

"Father!" Jiang Zhongzheng watched Ye Xiao dragging Jiang Chuan away, and looked at Jiang Wuqi somewhat quizzically.

Jiang Wuqi said with a smile, "Do you feel today's me is somewhat unusual?"

"No no, that's not what I mean." Jiang Zhongzheng said.

Jiang Wuqi said, "Haha, alright, let's not talk about it. From now on, no matter what Jiang Chuan does while following Ye Xiao, it can be understood."

"Father, you want Jiang Chuan to follow Ye Xiao?" Jiang Zhongzheng said with some surprise.

"What's wrong with that?" Jiang Wuqi replied.

Jiang Zhongzheng immediately said, "But Jiang Chuan is the future successor of the Jiang Family. Years later, he will be the head of the Jiang Family. How can he follow someone else as…"

Before Jiang Zhongzheng finished his sentence, Jiang Wuqi said, "As a little brother."

Upon hearing Jiang Wuqi's words, Jiang Zhongzheng fell silent. His father clearly understood, but why do it this way? The Jiang Family holds an esteemed position in Bird City and even all of Chu City. If the future successor of the Jiang Family became someone else's little brother, how would others view the Jiang Family?

How could Jiang Wuqi not understand his son's thoughts? With a chuckle, he said to Jiang Zhongzheng, "Zhong Zheng, your father and your uncle used to be little brothers to someone. That's how the Jiang Family achieved what it has today. If we weren't someone's little brothers, we might just be two capable but idle martial artists."

Jiang Zhongzheng nodded and said, "But father, Jiang Family now is not what it used to be…"

"Your father made the right choice!" At this moment, a voice came from outside the door.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhongzheng immediately turned his head to look.

When he clearly saw the speaker's face, he was suddenly overjoyed and immediately stepped forward and said, "Uncle, when did you come back?"

"About a month ago." The speaker was an elderly person, similar in age to Jiang Wuqi.

At this moment, seeing the elderly person walk in, Jiang Wuqi immediately stood up, though he remained much steadier than Jiang Zhongzheng.

"Brother, you're back!"
