Chapter 357: 258 Deadly Rivals Face Off!_3

When Xia Ye wasn’t by his side, nearly no expressions changed on his face, his eyes were cold, and his whole being was cold.

But with Xia Ye by his side, he came to life, his eyes shone with light, and the beauty within that light was Xia Ye.

"Sister Little Tiangao!" Jiang Yunyang ran over to them happily, hugging Xia Ye’s leg and lifting his little head, "Sister got even prettier after becoming a college student!"

While saying this, he noticed the hand she was holding Jiang Xuan’s with, and his thick eyebrows twisted into knots.

Jiang Yunzhou chatted with Xia Ye while nonchalantly prying Jiang Xuan’s fingers off Xia Ye one by one, then his own small hand held onto Sister Little Tiangao’s, his face finally breaking into a beaming smile.

Jiang Feng and Jiang Shan were chatting in the inner room, and upon hearing the commotion, they glanced over.

Jiang Shan had long heard of Xia Ye’s great reputation and how much his fourth brother valued this young lady. Now that he saw her in person, his attitude was extremely enthusiastic.

Jiang Feng was different, his deep eyes sizing up Xia Ye; until he figured out what she was really about, he didn’t show any particular attitude.

Jiang Xuan didn’t linger long and quickly took Xia Ye to the room where Jiang Jiujue was.

It was really an instant recognition when the archenemies met.

Neither of them opened their mouths first; their eyes already sparkled with electric intensity.

Jiang He happened to have some business matters he wanted to consult with Jiang Xuan: "Fourth brother, come with me for a moment; eldest brother wants to ask you something."

Jiang Xuan was extremely worried about leaving Xia Ye alone with Jiang Jiujue, but it was also hard to refuse. Before leaving, he walked over to Jiang Jiujue, and under the guise of handing something to him, he warned in a low voice, "There are many people in the Jiang Family; don’t act recklessly and give yourself away. As for the rest, we’ll talk after we go back to Huier Mountain."

Jiang Jiujue was slightly stunned: "Understood."

He answered very seriously, yet the moment Jiang Xuan’s front foot stepped out, he and Xia Ye immediately returned to their confrontational stance.

He felt the spiritual energy on Xia Ye that didn’t belong to her: "Where did you get this spiritual energy from?"

"Can’t you smell it?" Xia Ye raised her chin slightly, glancing at him with the corner of her eye: "Uncle Jiang gave it to me."

She spoke so boldly, Jiang Jiujue was so furious that his mustache bristled and his eyes bulged: "Tell me! What demon art did you use on Heavenly Dao? Are you planning to take advantage of Heavenly Dao’s mortal body to do something unspeakable?!"

If it weren’t for Xia Ye’s demon art, how could the Heavenly Dao be so disarmed by her?

And to transfer spiritual energy to her?

What a regret.

It seems the fox demon doesn’t need to wait till she turns eighteen to start stirring up trouble!

I really should have come to watch over her sooner!

Having been ensnared by her, Jiang Jiujue felt he had a direct responsibility!

Wait till we get back to Huier Mountain; I will have to deal with this fox spirit!

Tired from standing, Xia Ye turned and sat down on the armchair reserved for Elder Master Jiang, her challenging demeanor full-blown: "Heavenly Dao? Demon art? Mortal body? Perhaps Elder Master Jiang has been reading too many wuxia novels. Isn’t Uncle Jiang your son? Who is Heavenly Dao?"

Jiang Jiujue snorted coldly, his demeanor full of authority, "Don’t bother pretending in front of me, don’t think just because you’re wearing human clothes and walking on two legs that you’re really human, you’re nothing but a big fox!"

Xia Ye wasn’t angry at all; her slender fair fingers casually twirled a strand of fine hair, her eyes gleaming mischievously as she deliberately provoked him: "Of course, I’m not human, could a human ever be as beautiful as me?"

Jiang Jiujue’s chest heaved violently without a word being uttered, his mind raging with fury.

Ahhh!

Why am I so tonguetied that I can’t outtalk her!

If only I could use spiritual energy in the human world, I’d tie her up with the Fairy Binding Rope right now!!

Jiang Jiujue’s fingers trembled as he pointed at Xia Ye: "Demoness!"

Xia Ye returned the greeting: "Old geezer."

Jiang Jiujue: "You!"

Enraged beyond reason, his palm went to strike at Xia Ye, but just at that critical moment, the door was suddenly opened.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, have you seen Sister Little Tiangao?"

Jiang Yunyang arrived, followed by Jiang Xuan and Jiang He entering the room.

Jiang Xuan, still uneasy, quickly went through the complicated business matters in a few minutes before hurrying back.

Jiang Jiujue’s eyes met Jiang Xuan’s, realizing his hand was still hovering over Xia Ye’s head, and his body stiffened. Out of breath with anger, his brain scrambled for a split-second decision, and he transformed the motion meant for striking Xia Ye into one of affectionately patting her head.

He stammered with great reluctance, "Ah, yes, Grandpa has, your Sister Little Tiangao is really... sensible..."
