Jiang Chen valued bearing and strategy. Words Jiang Zheng felt were unsuitable to say, he blurted out without reservation.
The words made Jiang Tong and his son nod repeatedly，deeply understanding.
As for Jiang Chen，he smiled faintly，stood up，and walked over to Jiang Yu. "Xiao Yu，I'll ask you one thing：do you truly have any feelings for that woman?"
Jiang Yu's handsome face flushed red. "Brother，I've only seen her once or twice a year since we were young. We've never had any deep communication，so I can't say I have any feelings. Besides，an overbearing woman isn't virtuous. I don't like that."
"Good!"
Jiang Chen laughed. "A thousand gold can't buy the heart's love. Since you don't like her，I'll settle this for you today. This engagement，from this moment on，is declared dissolved."
"Chen'er." Jiang Tong stood up.
Jiang Chen waved his hand. "Third Uncle，I am the Young Marquis. With my father absent，I make the decisions for the Jianghan Marquis Manor."
Jiang Tong's throat tightened slightly. He wanted to say something but ultimately just sighed dejectedly and sat back down，his arms trembling slightly. He was clearly quite angered.
But besides this，what other option was there?
Jing Man laughed loudly，standing up with a smug air，his tone carrying a hint of mockery. "Young Marquis，haha，they say a tiger father doesn't produce dog sons. The Young Marquis has really broadened Old Jing's horizons today."
The implication wasn't praise for Jiang Chen，but mockery of him retreating at the last moment. If it were Jiang Feng here，how could he possibly have conceded?
Jiang Chen smiled faintly，meeting Jing Man's gaze without evasion. "You've already broadened your horizons？It seems Chief Jing truly is short-sighted."
"Oh？How so?" Jing Man's face darkened.
"The engagement is dissolved. However，this matter isn't over." Jiang Chen's expression turned grave，his tone suddenly cold. "As a tribe chief，you withdraw from an engagement to challenge the authority of the Marquis Manor – that's one crime. As a subordinate，you fail to bow when you see the Young Marquis – that's another crime. Roaring in the Marquis Manor，disregarding the hierarchy – that's three crimes."
"Three crimes combined，take him down!"
As soon as Jiang Chen's words fell，the four brothers of the Victory Camp immediately pounced on Jing Man like tigers or wolves!
Jiang Tong was stunned for a moment，then realized what was happening. He immediately ordered，"Jiang family armored guards，seal the manor！No one who came today leaves uncaught！"
Jing Man had been careless，or perhaps brazenly confident. This time he came，although he brought a number of personal guards，in terms of absolute strength，there was still a huge gap compared to the manor's armored guards.
He dared to come because Jiang Tong had always been weak，wouldn't resort to violence，and certainly wouldn't raise a blade against him，a Great Chief.
But he couldn't have anticipated that Jiang Chen，that scourge of the world，would return at this time. He also couldn't have imagined that Jiang Chen，seemingly all smiles and quiet composure，would suddenly strike without warning！
Most critically，the four brothers of the Victory Camp were all top-notch fighters from the Royal Capital. Among them，Sheng Yi and Sheng Er were both Nine-Meridian True Qi experts.
Even in a one-on-one，they could match Jing Man.
With the four of them working together，within a few rounds，Jing Man was forced into an extremely passive position.
Guo Jin，the follower Jiang Chen had recently taken in，was also fiercely brave. He fought desperately with a steel blade，keeping Jing Caier occupied. Although he only had Six-Meridian True Qi，fighting so desperately actually left Jing Caier flustered.
Then，Jiang Tong joined the fray.
Jiang Tong was also a cultivator at the Nine-Meridian True Qi level. Once he entered the battle，the last bit of suspense in the fight vanished.
In less than half an hour，Jing Man and all his followers，without exception，were captured.
"Jiang Chen，even your father Jiang Feng didn't have the guts to arrest me！You dare to ambush me！If you touch me，the Purple Thorn Tribe will never leave your manor in peace！"
Jing Man was truly enraged. He had rampaged through the Jianghan territory his entire life，never suffering a loss except when he once backed down before Jiang Feng.
Now he was actually captured and bound – for him，this was an absolute，unprecedented humiliation.
"Third Uncle，summon all family members. I want to convene a clan meeting！"
Jiang Chen glanced at Jing Man. "Keep these people locked up secretly for now. Sheng Yi，make them take these pills. It'll save us from their noise."
Jiang Tong，acting in the name of the Acting Marquis，summoned the Jiang clan members. No family member dared to delay.
They hadn't gone to welcome Jiang Chen because he was a wastrel，in their eyes someone with no real ability. That was why they had dared to be so presumptuous.
Although Jiang Tong had a soft personality，he was the Acting Marquis personally entrusted by the Jianghan Marquis，Jiang Feng. Once he exercised the Marquis's authority，there wasn't a single Jiang clan member who dared to disobey.
After all，setting aside his status，Jiang Tong's own cultivation was second only to Jiang Feng！
The Jiang clan members，big and small，numbered one to two hundred.
However，the great hall of the manor was spacious enough. Even with one or two hundred people standing inside，it still felt roomy.
Jiang Tong and his son stood to Jiang Chen's right. Jiang Chen's followers stood to his left.
"Pay respects to the Young Marquis！"
"The Young Marquis has returned，how come no one notified us？"
"Yes，we happened to be away these past two days and didn't get the news. Please forgive our failure to welcome you."
These clan members were all very shrewd. Their failure to welcome Jiang Chen had been a bit of petty cleverness. But seeing Jiang Chen face to face，not one of them dared to act recklessly.
