Jing Jiaren wasn''t afraid of Old Madam Jing''s imposingness. She stared straight at Old Madam Jing and pointed out calmly, "Grandma, regardless of whether you admit it or not, the current me has alreadypletely grown up. I admit that you can take my life with a move of your toes and if you want to crush me to the ground, it''s as easy as crushing an ant, but Grandmother, you''re already old."


    She was old.


    These words were like a sharp sword that mercilessly pierced through Old Madam Jing''s heart.


    Jing Jiaren stared at Old Madam Jing''s long silver-white hair as she said mercilessly, "Your cultivation level has stopped at the early-stage Prime Master realm for over a hundred years. All these years, be it your divination technique or your Spiritual Energy Dao, you haven''t had any more breakthroughs. You should know what this means. You can indeed cripple me, but you don''t have the time to nurture a new sessor."


    After Jing Jiaren walked towards the desk, she pressed her hands on the desk and stared at Old Madam Jing at a close distance as she said, "You are indeed the person in charge of the Jing family now, but that doesn''t mean that the Jing family has really be yours. The reason the Jing family acknowledged you is that you didn''t betray the Jing family. Your actions are all for the Jing family''s sake. If you abolish the most outstanding sessor for your own selfish Desire and choose a pushover, you will be jeopardizing the Jing family''s future!"


    "Grandma, although you''re powerful and have stabilized your position as the head of the Jing family, the bloodline of the Jing family doesn''t flow in your body. No matter how powerful you are, you can''t make the Jing family change their surname. The Jing family is still the Jing family of the Jing family. You understand this principle."


    "It''s precisely because you understand this principle too well that my grandfather suddenly died. After all, with a husband with the Jing family''s bloodline in front of you, you would never be able to sit in the position you are in today."


    These words were a personal affront.


    When Jing Jiaren said these words, shepletely fell out with Old Madam Jing.


    She was basically putting all her eggs in one basket.


    Old Madam Jing stared at Jing Jiaren silently like a sinister snake. Then, she snorted and asked, "Are you done?"


    However, that wasn''t all Jing Jiaren wanted to say.


    Jing Jiaren continued to snub Old Madam Jing. She said quickly but rationally, "The reason you treated my aunt like that back then was because Imitted a serious crime that the Jing family and all the prophets feared."


    Due to the incident between Jing Li and the male cultivator surnamed Zhong, all the prophets on the Divination Continent had a hostile attitude towards ascendants from other worlds. Therefore, when Old Madam Jing punished Jing Rujiu back then, although the bystanders felt that it was cruel, they acquiesced.


    "But the mistake I made that day wasn''t as severe as my aunt''s. As a prophet, I only made the right choice. I believe that most of the nsmen and prophets actually agree with me taking the initiative to withdraw from thepetition." Most prophets remembered their principles. The actions of the irvoyant association regarding the extinction of the unicorn race that daypletely disappointed all the prophets in the world.


    When Jing Jiaren and Yu Huang made the decision to withdraw from thepetition, she indeed lost Old Madam Jing''s trust in her. However, at the same time, she also obtained the recognition of the other prophets.


    Jing Jiaren smiled and said, "Be it in terms of spiritual energy cultivation or divination cultivation, I''m the most talented disciple of the Jing family. Having me as the sessor is everyone''s wish." Jing Jiaren moved a few inches closer to Old Madam Jing and asked, "Grandma, do you think the Jing family will really acknowledge you if you take off the crown on my head like this?"


    Facing Jing Jiaren''s question, Old Madam Jing was rendered speechless once again.


    Because Jing Jiaren''s analysis was right.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Seeing that Old Madam Jing had nothing to say, Jing Jiaren felt delighted.


    She continued, "Now that you''re in a high position, you can call the shots with a flick of your finger. But if the others don''t even want to listen to your orders, I''m afraid you''re also lonely at the top. Grandmother, you have to admit that I''ve already grown up, and you''re already old. You can no longer shake my position as the sessor."


    This was also the reason why Jing Jiaren had provoked Old Madam Jing in public that day.


    "Bastard, so this was your true motive." After hearing Jing Jiaren admit her goals, the way Old Madam Jing felt that her granddaughter seemed very unfamiliar.


    This child that she had raised had betrayed her in the end.


    Old Madam Jing suddenly thought of something that she had almost forgotten. She said thoughtfully, "Back then, when the Ye family was exterminated, it was the time when the Jing family was about to appoint a new heir. You treated that child from the Ye family so coldly back then. Could it be that you were putting on an act in order for me to think that you were a cold-hearted child?"


    Old Madam Jing was cold-hearted and scheming. Naturally, she admired ruthless women.


    Back then, Jing Jiaren''s actions towards Ye Qingyang were very to Old Madam Jing''s liking. It was precisely because she saw the shadow of her former self in Jing Jiaren that Old Madam Jing decided to choose Jing Jiaren as the sessor among several candidates.


    Jing Jiaren was silent for a moment before saying coldly, "It''s only partly because I wanted to gain your recognition. The main reason was that Ye Qingyang was no longer worthy of me."


    Jing Jiaren and Old Madam Jing were essentially the same kind of people. They were ruthless people who were willing to give up anything in order to achieve their goals.


    From the moment Jing Jiaren knelt down in front of all the experts and pleaded for mercy for her aunt when she was seven years old, Jing Jiaren had made up her mind to topple Old Madam Jing from her high position.


    Once Jing Jiaren made a decision, she would charge forward single-mindedly. Her goal was the position of the Jing family''s head. Ye Qingyang, who had lost the support of his family, had be a burden and a useless stumbling block.


    Jing Jiaren naturally had to kick away obstacles.


    Upon hearing this, Old Madam Jingughed again. "You''re indeed like me." Looking at the cunning and shrewd Jing Jiaren, Old Madam Jing realized that a person who would do anything to achieve her goals was actually quite detestable.


    Old Madam Jing sighed and said, "All these years, I''ve warmed a snake in my bosom." However, it was toote to regret it.


    She was already old.


    Old Madam Jing red at Jing Jiaren with hatred in her eyes. She was extremely vexed and regretted choosing Jing Jiaren as the heir back then.
