Investment Return System, Start by taking Demon Empress as a Disciple Chapter 148: Great gift

"Who is this?"

Upon hearing Zhao Yizhen's words, Jiang Ruohai first paused, then carefully examined the figures seated upon the golden dragon.

Chen Daoxuan casually leaned against the Dao Seat, his right hand casually forming a loose fist, propping up his chin, while his left hand rhythmically tapped the armrest on the other side of the seat. He appeared like a sovereign overlooking all beings, exuding a relaxed and leisurely deanor.

Gazing down at the nurous mbers of the Jiang Family, he even sported a faint smile. To those unaware of the situation, they might think this fellow had genuinely co to the Jiang Family in search of old friends.

As for the figures standing on either side of the Dao Seat, Leng Yanran and Li Yourong, they wore plain expressions. When they looked down at the Jiang Family, their eyes revealed a hint of disdain and pity.

Yu Youwei lay quietly on the Dao Seat, nestled against her master's leg. Throughout, she never opened her eyes to glance at the Jiang Family mbers below. Unless her master instructed her to act, she couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to these insignificant ants.

"Who… is this?"

Jiang Ruohai cautiously observed for a long while, but no matter how much he racked his brains, he couldn't recall encountering such an advanced senior before. Frustrated, he turned his head towards Zhao Yizhen and inquired...

"??? Old Jiang, I'm the one asking, not you," Zhao Yizhen retorted, observing Jiang Ruohai's complete lack of recognition for the senior figure.

His unease grew stronger. There was a nagging sense that sothing was amiss, yet he couldn't pinpoint the issue. Still, why would that senior deceive him? If the senior claid to bring gifts to the Jiang Family, then it surely wasn't a ruse. Could the Jiang Family's status be so insignificant that the senior would lie to him?

"However, I truly can't recognize this senior… Could it be… the ancestor of our Demon Clan's family, from our ancestral land? Hiss… That makes sense. Perhaps only the ancestral land's ancestor could possess such incredible powers!"

Jiang Ruohai remained bewildered, the only possible explanation being the ancestor of the family from the Demon Clan's ancestral land. It was rumored that it was this ancestor who had intervened and helped the current Demon Emperor secure his throne.

"…"

Hearing this, Zhao Yizhen fell silent for a while, regarding Jiang Ruohai with an expression akin to soone staring at a fool. Setting aside the issue of the ancestral land's ancestor for now, how could it be possible for him to personally visit a minor family like the Jiangs?

Speaking of which, this senior is obviously not from the Demon Clan!

It was the stunning woman beside him, exuding the aura of the Demon Clan, a remarkably pure one at that. To say she was of royal blood would not be an exaggeration! No… sothing's not right.

Demon Clan woman! Bloodline purity on the level of a Demon Prodigy! Suddenly, a possibility flashed through Zhao Yizhen's mind. He slowly turned his stiffened body around.

"Sen… senior, now that the Jiang Family is here, I won't disturb you any further. I'll take my leave, farewell, farewell…"

Zhao Yizhen, the esteed Uncle, felt cold sweat bead down his forehead. He kept his head bowed low as he addressed Chen Daoxuan, intending to withdraw cautiously.

"Insolent! Did my master permit your departure?"

Before his master could speak, Leng Yanran's displeased voice echoed. The audacity of the fellow to consider leaving before his master gave the signal!

"I dare not, I dare not. I harbor no ill will towards the senior, nor do I show any disrespect. I'm rely assisting with directions. Since that's the case, I'll move aside for now. I won't disturb the senior's business… I an, gift-giving."

Reprimanded by the individual in the Unity Realm, Zhao Yizhen refrained from losing his temper. Instead, he bowed his head even lower, refraining from ntioning his departure plans. He cautiously retreated towards the boundaries of the Jiang Family's domain, treading with great care.

As the Uncle of the Demon Dynasty, although he could only reach the Fusion Realm due to his lackluster cultivation talent, he was far from inept in his deanor and interactions. Otherwise, the Demon Emperor would not entrust him with nurous important tasks.

"Father, what's the current situation…"

The head of the Jiang Family sensed the sudden eerie atmosphere and whispered to Jiang Ruohai.

"I don't know, but I have a strange feeling in my heart…" Jiang Ruohai also sensed that sothing was amiss and quickly pondered.

"Senior, may I inquire why you have co to our Jiang Family? As long as you give your orders, even if it ans scaling a mountain of blades or plunging into a sea of fire, the Jiang Family will not hesitate to comply!"

Although unable to pinpoint the problem, Jiang Ruohai didn't dare to delay. After a deep bow to Chen Daoxuan, he respectfully inquired.

Nurous prominent figures from the Western Region who were watching intently all perked up, eager to hear why such a terrifying elder, capable of tearing through the void, had co to a minor second-rate family.

"Hehe, this Pavilion Master is here only to bring a gift to your Jiang Family. By the way, let introduce them to you. This disciple on my right is my senior disciple, Leng Yanran."

Chen Daoxuan continued to idly tap the seat, his eyes slightly narrowed in a friendly smile, as he introduced the disciple by his side to the people of the Jiang Family.

"The senior's disciple is clearly an exceptional individual, leaving this old man feeling ashad! I'm sure it won't be long before the senior's disciple surpasses even this old man. Even the current Demon Prodigy is no match for the senior's disciple, or perhaps slightly inferior!"

Jiang Ruohai, though puzzled by why this senior suddenly introduced his disciple, instinctively flattered and spoke words of praise. Complints were never a wrong move!

"Yes, yes! The senior's disciple not only possesses unparalleled beauty in appearance, but her strength and aptitude are also peerless in the Western Region! In the future, she will undoubtedly beco a towering figure in our Demon Clan!"

The current head of the Jiang Family chid in, echoing from the side.

"Tsk, Yanran, how many tis has your master told you? Your usual cultivation efforts are still not enough. You're being compared to that wretched Demon Prodigy. After returning to the mountain this ti, undergo special training. You won't need to leave the mountain for a while."

Upon hearing their conversation, Chen Daoxuan shook his head slightly and admonished Leng Yanran.

"Yes, Master!" Leng Yanran lowered her head in embarrassnt, realizing that her current progress was insufficient.

"I wonder, about the gift the senior ntioned…"

Upon hearing this senior openly disparage the Demon Prodigy, Jiang Ruohai's scalp tingled. He didn't dare to continue discussing that topic and quickly changed the subject. This senior didn't fear offending the royal family, but Jiang Ruohai's family certainly didn't dare to belittle the Demon Prodigy!

"Hehe, is there even a need to ask? Didn't I just introduce them earlier? This esteed disciple by my side, is precisely the remnant of the old dynasty that you are seeking. See, I've personally brought them to your doorstep. Is this considered a grand gift, or perhaps a surprise?"
