Chapter 117: The Gao Clan's Flattery, Jiang Han's Self-Mockery

Gao Mingshi's gaze shifted slightly, and he asked cautiously, "Then is the current clan head of your main family called Jiang Daoxuan?"

Jiang Hongyang did not notice that something was off about the atmosphere in the room; he merely nodded and said casually, "That's right."

Accompanying this flat, unremarkable voice—

The expressions of the many surrounding Gao clan members did not change; they noticed nothing amiss.

But those who had joined the family's trade caravans, or who had learned news about the Cangwu Jiang clan from the caravans—

All felt at that very instant, as though a thunderclap had exploded above their heads, deafening to the ear!

"How is this possible? The Jiang clan in our city is actually connected to the Cangwu Jiang clan?"

"Sigh, the Jiang clan's ancestral graves really are sending up green smoke — just the other day we were still worrying about the Black Tiger Sect, and now they've vaulted straight to the heavens, directly tied to the Cangwu Jiang clan!"

"Such fortune truly inspires envy in all who hear of it."
