Chapter 1018: The Best

Feeling Zhuge Mingkong's intentions, Jiang Xiaochuan felt helpless but had to suppress his impulse and retreat as Zhuge Mingkong pulled him back.

During the retreat, Jiang Xiaochuan keenly noticed that there were several extraordinary auras quietly peeping over like ghosts, which was completely different from the calmness when they came.

Obviously, the dispute in front of the stone house just now has attracted the attention of other people in the Zhuge family.

Among these auras, the most powerful one belongs to the one who just replied through voice transmission.

This person had no intention of concealing his aura, and the majestic aura spread unrestrainedly.

With his keen perception, Jiang Xiaochuan judged that this person's realm had reached the late stage of Grandmaster, and his aura showed signs of breaking through.

He knew in his heart that this person was most likely the one who had just sent a message in reply, the current head of the Zhuge family.

Zhuge Mingkong remained silent all the way, leading Jiang Xiaochuan straight out of the door, and only stopped after they had walked a long way.

"Brother Jiang, I'm really sorry for what happened just now. Don't take it to heart."

Zhuge Mingkong turned around with an apologetic look on his face. He had not expected things to turn out like this.

"It's okay." Jiang Xiaochuan waved his hand without any intention of blaming him.

If Zhuge Mingkong had not decisively pulled him out just now, given Zhuge Canglan's stubborn temper, he might have really killed him.

If you want to save Zhuge Mingyue, you have to think of other ways.

Suppressing his impatience, Jiang Xiaochuan looked around and said, "Brother Mingkong, you should go back first."

Zhuge Mingkong raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a half-joking expression: "Why, are you afraid that I will be implicated with you?"

Jiang Xiaochuan didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.

He understood very well that the more prominent and powerful a family was, like the Zhuge family, the stricter the rules were and the more harshly they were enforced.

Since the head of the family has expressly forbidden his clansmen from interacting with him, he doesn't want to drag Zhuge Mingkong into it.

"It seems I guessed right." Zhuge Mingkong smiled, then turned serious. "Brother Jiang, what do you think of me?"

Unexpectedly, he asked this question suddenly, and Jiang Xiaochuan also became serious.

He hadn't spent much time with Zhuge Mingkong, but in their limited contact, he found that this man didn't have the airs of a young master at all.

It can be said that because of Zhuge Mingkong, Jiang Xiaochuan's impression of those children from wealthy families has changed greatly.

"good."

Jiang Xiaochuan nodded and commented in a pertinent tone.

"That's it."

When Zhuge Mingkong heard this, a bright smile instantly bloomed on his face. He raised his hand and patted Jiang Xiaochuan on the shoulder, saying, "You saved my sister's life. I, Zhuge Mingkong, will always remember this favor. Besides, I also consider you my friend."

Zhuge Mingkong paused, and with a firm resolve, he said, "Although our family rules are strict, I simply cannot stand idly by and watch my friend's affairs."

Zhuge Mingkong has always been open-minded and casual in his dealings with others. In addition, due to his special status, most people in the capital city would give him some face.

However, precisely because of this, he hangs out in all kinds of circles every day, and most of the people around him wear hypocritical masks and speak insincere words.

Over time, he felt tired and bored.

Jiang Xiaochuan's appearance made him feel a long-lost sense of freedom and comfort.

"But……"

Before Jiang Xiaochuan could finish his words, Zhuge Mingkong stopped him and said, "In this capital, your business is my business. If anyone dares to deliberately make things difficult for you, I will never sit idly by."

Over the years, relying on his family's reputation and his own character, Zhuge Mingkong has accumulated considerable influence in the capital.

However, due to the restrictions of family rules, he cannot openly form cliques, otherwise it will damage the family's reputation if it gets out.

Otherwise, with his appeal, he would definitely be able to create a force that cannot be underestimated.

Even so, with Zhuge Mingkong's influence, if he wanted to bypass the Zhuge family and mobilize his connections, he would still be much better off than families like the Peng family.

"Thanks."

After listening to Zhuge Mingkong's sincere words, Jiang Xiaochuan no longer refused.

But the smile flashed across his face, and then he frowned slightly, and a hint of sadness quietly crept up his brows.

This subtle change in expression naturally did not escape Zhuge Mingkong's eyes.

He instantly understood that Jiang Xiaochuan was worried about Zhuge Mingyue.

At that moment, he admired Jiang Xiaochuan even more: "Brother Jiang, since the ancestor already knows about Yue'er's matter, he will definitely do his best to resolve it. To be honest, Yue'er is very important to our family. She carries the family's hope of entering that place. The ancestor will definitely pay attention to her."

As he spoke, Zhuge Mingkong inadvertently revealed what was in his heart.

"that place?"

Hearing these nonsensical words, Jiang Xiaochuan couldn't help but feel curious.

Zhuge Mingkong was startled when he realized he had let the cat out of the bag. However, in his heart, Jiang Xiaochuan was closer than most of the family members. Seeing Jiang Xiaochuan's puzzled look, he suddenly asked, "Brother Jiang, what do you think of my Zhuge family?"

When asked this question, Jiang Xiaochuan almost rolled his eyes.

If Zhuge Mingkong hadn't had a serious expression, he would have thought that the other party was showing off blatantly.

The Zhuge family can almost be called the largest family in the capital, is there any need to say more?

However, after a moment's hesitation, Jiang Xiaochuan still answered truthfully: "Second to none."

Hearing this, Zhuge Mingkong showed a hint of self-mockery on his face, which made Jiang Xiaochuan even more confused.

"Sure enough, you think so too."

Zhuge Mingkong sighed softly, and his expression became complicated.
