If the painting contains a miniature world of mountains and rivers, then it is not just an ordinary magical artifact, but a treasure in the Xiu Xian World, highly valued indeed. However, Jiang Chen felt that this possibility was slim. It could be that some cultivators infused their thoughts and spiritual power into the artwork, giving the landscape painting an awe-inspiring and mystical quality.
"Mr. Jiang, I am giving you this painting. All I ask is that you tell me what exactly is hidden within the Daoist temple depicted in it. This matter has weighed on my heart for decades, and if I don't understand it, I fear I won't be able to rest in peace," Zeng Xianyi said with a smile.
"Haha, since Zeng Lao has such good intentions, I shall graciously accept it. I hope there truly is a surprise within the landscape," Jiang Chen replied, not pushing back any further.
Meanwhile, in a nearby private room, Yue Hui, Zhou Rongli, and others sat down, chatting while waiting for the auction to begin.
"Rongli, do you think Jiang Chen really intends to deal with my brother?" Zhou Duanmei asked under the guidance of the elderly lady.
"I can't say for sure. Xiao Chen is merely my godson, and he has his own principles; I won't interfere," Zhou Rongli replied with a slight smile.
"With Jiang Chen's temperament, what he said yesterday must be true. He won't let my brother off easily. Rongli, although my brother is in the wrong, we are still blood relatives. You should persuade Jiang Chen to let it go," Zhou Duanmei continued under the elderly lady's gaze.
Zhou Rongli chuckled and looked at the elderly lady. "Mother, if you have something to say, just say it directly. There's no need for my sister to speak on your behalf. I understand your concerns, but whatever happens to them is their own doing. Yes, we share blood ties, but sometimes it's better to let go of a cold relationship."
These family matters had entangled Zhou Rongli for nearly thirty years. She was exhausted both physically and mentally and preferred to leave it to her godson to handle. Although his methods might be somewhat harsh, they were often the best way to resolve stubborn issues.
"Rongli, I know your brother's actions have hurt you deeply, but he has lost his way. After all, he is now the head of our Zhou family. Our family's prosperity has not come easily; we have only just established ourselves in Hangcheng. If anything were to happen to your brother, it would have a significant impact on our family," the elderly lady expressed her concerns about Zhou Rongli's family now that the situation had become clearer.
"Mother, Jiang Chen knows what he's doing. And frankly speaking, our Zhou family has stagnated over these years largely due to my brother's obstinacy. He sees me as an enemy and refuses any connection with me; why should I concern myself with him?" Zhou Rongli replied calmly.
"What if your brother were to apologize to you this time?" the elderly lady asked.
For her, even if family conflicts seemed irreconcilable, they were still flesh and blood; she could not simply ignore them.
"Even if he apologizes to me, it would be insincere—such an apology is not worth having," Zhou Rongli's tone remained unwaveringly cold.
The elderly lady sighed, unsure of what to do. A harmonious family leads to prosperity; without harmony at home, she could never truly feel at ease.
Yue Hui observed quietly from the side, her mind racing. She was perceptive and understood that this was Mr. Jiang's family matter and she should not interfere. However, family issues were complicated and difficult to resolve; Mr. Jiang must also find this troubling. After careful consideration, Yue Hui felt she should help alleviate Mr. Jiang's worries.
