I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 2604 2603: The Outbreak of Conflict, Jiang Shidai's Decision
Previously on I Truly Am The Villian...
Jiang Bo also looked at Xu Zimei.
However, his residence was so deep that he could suppress his emotions.
Even though he wanted to kill Xu Zimei and tear him to pieces.
But he still appeared very calm on the surface.
"Cousin, I don't remember offending you somehow, so why do this?"
Jiang Bo said indifferently.
Although he looked down upon Xu Zimei.
He was different from his brother Jiang Zhe.
Often, he didn't even bother to mock Jiang Rui.
In Jiang Bo's view, only by strengthening himself could he compete for the true Clan Leader position of the Xuntian clan in the future.
It must be understood that although Jiang Rui is the Young Clan Leader of the Xuntian clan now.
Yet they didn't mind.
They didn't even oppose it.
Because there is a world of difference between the Young Clan Leader and the true Clan Leader.
Firstly, Jiang Shoutian is still going to live for a long time.
The position of Clan Leader will probably take a long time to change hands.
Instead of vying for the insignificant position of Young Clan Leader now.
It would be better to save strength for directly competing for the Clan Leader position in the future.
Jiang Bo's father was the one who lost to Jiang Shoutian in the competition back then.
So their family holds an absolute obsession with the Clan Leader position.
At this moment, hearing Jiang Bo's words, Xu Zimei smiled.
"Whether I was offended or not is not important."
"What's important is I don't like you, so I want to step on you, what can you do about it?"
Upon hearing these words, Jiang Bo's face turned ugly.
He initially thought Xu Zimei would explain.
Unexpectedly, the other party was so shameless.
He said faintly: "Cousin, today's matter is not over."
"I can tell you clearly that you've been indulged in your wild behaviors, thinking everything is trivial."
"But this time, I must teach you the rules properly."
As the two were talking, several figures surrounded them from all directions at this moment.
These figures consisted of both males and females.
They were all talented young disciples of the Xuntian clan.
Among them, some were of direct lineage, while others were collateral lineage.
Some of these individuals supported Jiang Shoutian, while others supported Jiang Bo's father, also named Jiang Changhai.
It can be said that even within the Xuntian clan, factions were clearly defined.
Not to mention the younger generation.
Even among the older generation of ancestors, there was actually this notion of faction.
Only that their status was already high enough.
So these ancestors were comparatively less nitpicky.
"Jiang Rui, how dare you, what did Jiang Bo do to provoke you that made you act like this!"
"Does the family have no rules now?"
"Do you really think being the Young Clan Leader lets you act recklessly, who gave you this right?"
The speaker started by targeting Xu Zimei.
This person was called Jiang Yong.
He wore a long white robe with a Gentleman Sword hanging at his waist.
As soon as he spoke, he aimed to make an issue of Xu Zimei's identity.
Yet Xu Zimei only gave him a faint glance.
Said faintly, "You still know I'm the Young Clan Leader?"
"You still know the rules?"
"Then how did you address me?"
Hearing Xu Zimei's retort, Jiang Yong was instantly rendered speechless.
Because by normal standards, Xu Zimei being the Young Clan Leader, they should not address him by name.
He must be called the Young Clan Leader.
But because Jiang Rui doesn't care about these due to his usual character, and his strength being the weakest.
Although he flaunted his power outside, among these fellow young clansmen, he actually showed some timidity.
But rules are rules.
This time, Xu Zimei brought it up actively, Jiang Yong knew he was unreasonable.
Yet he still explained.
"The position of Young Clan Leader needs to win everyone's genuine approval."
"How can you convince the masses if you act like this?"
Before Xu Zimei could respond to Jiang Yong's answer, people from Jiang Shoutian's faction began to criticize.
"What do you mean by convincing the masses?"
"Can you alone represent everyone?"
"We all support the Young Clan Leader, what do you say?"
"According to the rules, disrespect towards the Young Clan Leader merits punishment."
At this moment, prominent young figures on both sides had to step forward and start arguing.
The already lively main hall was now as noisy as a marketplace.
Though some knew this wasn't right.
And disliked arguing.
But once you were tagged as a member of a faction, you couldn't act independently in many matters.
Otherwise, you'll be seen as a traitor.
Seeing everyone arguing, Jiang Shidai's soft voice sounded from the doorway at this moment.
"Silence!"
"Each one of you, acting like this, what does it look like?"
Jiang Shidai's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a sense of sharpness.
Coupled with her overwhelming presence, vaguely enveloped by the Power of the Great Dao.
That power made everyone present subtly change their expressions.
It's known that Jiang Shidai's influence among young disciples was significant.
Firstly, her talent was excellent, and with her strong ability, being a disciple of the Ancient Academy.
There's nothing to criticize from this perspective.
Secondly, she was single-mindedly pursuing the Dao, uninterested in the Clan Leader position.
So she wasn't involved in the struggle over the Clan Leader position, having no vested interests with others.
Combining these two points, though relatively young, everyone showed her respect.
Even some elders in the family maintained a good relationship with her.
Hence, Jiang Shidai had an air of a big sister.
Once her words fell, the arguing immediately quieted down.
Jiang Shidai glanced around.
Finally, she fixed her gaze on Xu Zimei and Jiang Bo.
Because they were the main figures in this incident.
The disputes of others were actually related to these two.
If the issues between these two were resolved, nothing much would arise, creating no waves among others.
"Cousin, you're here."
Jiang Bo was the first to speak.
His attitude towards Jiang Shidai was neither friendly nor unfriendly.
He just said calmly.
"I've always respected you, what do you think should be done about this matter?"
"If you're not aware of the situation, I wouldn't mind explaining it again."
Jiang Bo didn't initially come to seek justice or say anything.
He handed over the opportunity for handling this hot potato to Jiang Shidai.
After all, if Jiang Shidai showed too much bias toward Jiang Rui, everyone present would surely be dissatisfied.
This would also be a blow to Jiang Shidai's reputation.
But if she favored Jiang Bo, she might upset the brother-sister bond with Jiang Rui.
It can only be said that whoever she favored, would be a lose-lose situation.
Jiang Bo's words, digging such a pit, were undeniably sinister.
Moreover, it was an open scheme.
Unless Jiang Shidai ignored the affair, staying out of it.
But since she came actively, she obviously wouldn't stay out of it.
At this moment, Jiang Shidai slightly furrowed her brows.
She remained silent for a while.
Then spoke.
"Let every matter be treated separately, whoever's at fault must acknowledge it."
