The reason why he didn't directly replace Shi Gao was probably because as a summoning card master, he didn't show a strong self-protection ability and could easily be secretly beheaded by others.
"So, I should be careful of the card masters in the top 50, right? What should I pay attention to?"
There was no girl on the list of heroes who liked Jiang Jiu at "that level", so she eliminated the girls among the top 50 first, and then Jiang Jiu pointed out the card masters sent by each family to contact her.
Lu Yan has a total of 8 enemies, and it is not clear who will attack first. The others who are weaker than Shi Gao may not stop. They may think it is easy to assassinate him as a summoner card player, and then launch a challenge.
"What are you going to do?"
"When the enemy comes, we will fight them; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. Humph, can't I defeat them?"
After retrieving the information of 8 enemies, 18 Hollow Dogs and 11 Shiny Dogs were listed. Based on past records, the Golden Shiny Dog won more among the two.
His positioning should be a "melee ranger" who can perform long-range attacks and can increase or decrease the distance through spatial movement.
The strongest of all the enemies should be the third-ranked [Water Ape] Kang Hui. He is a man about the same height as Lu Yan, with blue hair, and makes people feel that he will say "You have already met your end."
As can be seen from the title, it is generally of water attribute. It has a gourd that can release a large amount of water, and it is easy to transform the terrain into a state suitable for itself.
He can actually release plants to entangle his enemies, but they're not grass, they're kelp.
Fortunately, the weapon is not a sledgehammer, but a blue metal rod. After coming into contact with a large amount of water, the color will deepen and then turn blue-black. The rod also enhances the ability to control water.
"Don't worry, it's okay even if you lose. You can say you fell in love with my face."
Lu Yan casually said something to comfort him, and Jiang Jiu let go of him and punched him lightly on the shoulder: "Why do you think others don't think I'm attracted to your face? Look at the 8th card master for yourself."
No. 8…?
"I'll go, male fox."
In the photo in the card master's information, there is a white-haired male fox with a fox tail and fox ears, holding a fan, wearing ancient scholar's clothes, and his squinted eyes are quite cunning. He looks handsome just by looking at the photo.
"It's okay, you can say you like my style."
"Look at his skills."
After watching half of it, Lu Yan continued to look at the male fox's skills. His temperament and body shape can be changed to achieve the most beautiful state in the eyes of others, not only the opposite sex, but also the same sex.
The reason for having such a skill is essentially to enhance strength. "Fox Lord" Hu Jun has a powerful charm ability, and he is also quite knowledgeable about remote control skills. In short, he needs to be handsome enough.
Focusing his attention on the first and second place, Lu Yan's expression became cautious. Fortunately, he didn't have to fight with them, otherwise he would probably have to reveal some of his cards.
The first place winner is named Xin Luoyu, with the title [Wanfa Piyi]. He has immunity and resistance to most energy-based skills. He is a martial artist and won the first place with his fists.
The second one was Youxiong Li, the descendant of Youxiong Xi whom she met in Tianwei City. Her title was [Tian Jianzi]. The girl looked a little dull and her reaction was very slow. She carried a large brass sword on her back.
"I don't know what title others will give me. It can't really be [Master of the Harem], right?"
Lu Yan muttered, and Jiang Jiu comforted him:
"Don't worry. The titles on the list are mostly serious. Hollow Dog and Shining Dog are just derogatory terms. If there's anything truly funny, [Keyboard Warrior] is one."
The person with this title is an attacker who uses sonic waves, and his weapon is a computer keyboard. Yes, he plays songs with the computer keyboard, and they are very unpleasant to the ears. He also likes to curse people, so he got this title over time.
As time passed, Jiang Jiu's inner depression gradually disappeared during the conversation with him. She gradually closed her eyes and fell asleep, and her hands once again grabbed Lu Yan's arm.
Instead of waking up the store manager, he put down his phone, lay down with his eyes closed, and maintained a peaceful sleeping posture. On the contrary, Jiang Jiu liked to move around.

Chapter 175: Complex family relationships.
The next morning, the heavy pressure on his body made Lu Yan wake up. Jiang Jiu was lying on his stomach, and her small, white and tender feet, like Daisy's, were shaking up and down, and her white stockings were not taken off.
Lu Yan tried to resist the urge to tickle and touch her, but he remembered the intimate contact last night. He suddenly became furious and grabbed her feet, kneading them and calling softly:
"Sister Jiang, get up. We're going to the Jiang family today."
Well, how can I describe the touch? I can feel their softness through the stockings, and they feel very comfortable.
"Got it~."
Feeling the tingling sensation, Jiang Jiu retracted his feet, kicked away his restless hands, and muttered in confusion.
Lu Yan did not take advantage of the situation and continued to play with it in his hand. He stood up and stretched hard, making his bones vibrate. After washing up, he went downstairs to have breakfast and brought one for Jiang Jiu when he came back.
Porridge, side dishes, steamed dumplings, noodles with shredded pork and poached egg in clear soup, meat buns, soy milk, custard buns, red bean paste buns...
A full bag was spread on the table. The fragrance made the confused girl stand up. Her clothes hung to the side, revealing her shoulders. She reached out to touch the bed and got up. She went to the bathroom to wash up and finally woke up.
Coming to the dining table, she twisted her ankle with a puzzled expression, feeling that something had just happened but she had forgotten it.
The aroma rushed into Jiang Jiu's nose. She put her doubts behind her and swallowed the food in big mouthfuls. After finishing her breakfast, she sat in front of the mirror and fixed her makeup and appearance.
"Is there anything I need to pay attention to when I go to your Jiang family?"
"Well...be bold, say whatever you want to say, don't be polite to them, it's better to scold them."
Jiang Jiu gave his advice without hesitation. It didn't feel like going back to his own home, but more like looking for an enemy. Lu Yan nodded silently, feeling a little worried about his future.
He originally thought that Sister Jiang's relationship with her family was not too bad, but now it seems that it is a complete murderous vengeance. One can clearly see the indifference and impatience in her eyes.
There is hatred, but not much. For now, I can still treat them as strangers.
After all, she didn't know what her past was like. Lu Yan just hoped that the Jiang family's annual meeting would be over quickly.
He is not invincible yet. It is okay to defeat the Wang family, but if he really confronts the Jiang family in the capital, even with Jiang Jiu there, the result will definitely be very bad.
"Are all the manors of your wealthy families this big?"
Standing outside the huge manor surrounded by walls, Lu Yan even saw a small hill inside. It was more like a "sect's headquarters" in the fantasy card domain than a manor.
"Otherwise, why are they called powerful families? The Jiang family and the Youxiong family existed before the establishment of the Mailong Kingdom, and even continue to this day. I am a native of Yandu."
Jiang Jiu pouted and laughed at himself, staring at the plaque on the gate: "It is precisely because of this that the family traditions of the wealthy families are so different. I actually hope that my brother can become the head of the family and change the current family traditions. Unfortunately..."
"It's a pity that the old man doesn't just die?"
Lu Yan took over, and Jiang Jiu pursed her lips and said, "Yes, there are so many things that can increase lifespan. Those who are too old don't care about anything. It is said that they have moved to other planets to try to open up new territories. The one who is in charge of the Jiang family now is my great-grandfather and my father."
"They are the ones who benefited from my being frozen. The former became an 8-star card master, and the latter obtained the position of family head."
The girl explained part of the reason why she was frozen, clenched her fists and entered the gate:
"Just being frozen is fine, but the problem is that I almost didn't survive and died completely. I survived not because of them, but because of myself."
"They're still thinking, 'Oh, make it up to me,' huh? Maybe they're thinking of doing it again."
"Sister, shouldn't you leave the family? Why are you back?"
Lu Yan was a little confused. If it was really as she said, Jiang Jiu should not have come back. She should have just stayed in Hujiang City.
Jiang Jiu couldn't help but breathe out through his nose, making a humming sound:
"I'm a key member of the Security Bureau. They asked me to come back because of the Security Bureau's arrangement. It's a kind of exchange of interests, I guess."
The Jiang family is both afraid of her and feels they "owe" her. Some people want to impose their "good intentions" on Jiang Jiu, while some people don't want her to control the family. As a result, the situation has become what it is now.
She usually moves around Hujiang City, and will definitely come back to visit during the New Year. The benefit the Security Bureau gets is that part of the Jiang family's card area will be nationalized.
Not only the Jiang family can enter, but all staff in the Security Bureau can enter.
Since he knew nothing about politics and family affairs, Lu Yan was too lazy to spend time trying to figure it out and followed Jiang Jiu into the manor.
The gravel road extends from the gate to many places, and there are even signposts to prevent others from getting lost.
Jiang Jiu appeared in the manor, and immediately many eyes were cast over. A very friendly voice sounded from a distance:
"Ajiu, long time no see, you are finally back."
"Oh, I usually want to come back but I can't, and I don't want to come back but you won't let me stay outside. Who can I blame?"
Jiang Jiu retorted, and seeing the friendly woman choking without saying anything, he cast his eyes on Lu Yan beside her, and his eyes lit up. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the petite pink-haired girl say:
"Get out of here and don't talk to me."
The woman left angrily, walking on the gravel road. She cursed everyone who spoke to Jiang Jiu, and no one dared to curse back.
After entering the Jiang family manor, she started firing randomly as if she had taken gunpowder, bang bang bang bang..., as if everyone had a grudge against her, which was completely different from the situation in the card shop.
Lu Yan roughly understood Jiang Jiu's current predicament. The Jiang family was divided into several factions, and each of them treated her differently.
She said before that someone felt they owed Jiang Jiu something, so they wanted to force her to come back, give her great convenience, and take any benefits she wanted... This might be the result of a sense of indebtedness and kindness.
But this is not necessarily true. Being frozen in ice prompted the ancestor to become an 8-star card master, and the Jiang family may do the same next time.
From Jiang Jiu's perspective, if she really accepted the benefits, they would definitely use moral blackmail again.
Some people are afraid that they won't be able to wait for Jiang Jiubingfeng, and that she will become the next person in charge of the Jiang family because of her sense of indebtedness to the ancestor. By then, it is not impossible that she will completely turn the entire family upside down.
Because of this, they chose to follow Jiang Jiu's advice and drive her away, not wanting her to come back. Maybe they really wanted to see her and Lu Yan become boyfriend and girlfriend or even husband and wife.
In short, Jiang Jiu was the one caught in the middle. She simply chose to turn a blind eye and not be bothered. She had no intention of seeking revenge and chose to stay away from this group of guys who were both her relatives and her enemies, just like Nezha who died and then had a temple built for him.
As a result, the Jiang family involved her again and interfered in her life events under the pretext of concern. It was estimated that something else happened during this period, which made Jiang Jiu even more annoyed.
She is now like Nezha whose temple is about to be destroyed by Li Jing, and they are almost on the verge of becoming complete enemies.

Chapter 176: Treat everyone equally and criticize them all.
Because of this complicated situation, Jiang Jiu simply stopped distinguishing who was good to her and who was bad to her. She didn't want to have anything to do with anyone in the Jiang family, so she chose to treat everyone equally and criticize them all!
The only person in the Jiang family whom she considered as a partner was her former younger brother.
Before being frozen in ice, he had begged his parents not to do this. After being sealed, his personality became utilitarian, but he knew clearly what Jiang Jiu wanted, so he did not interfere with her choice, and even took the initiative to help her, hoping that she could stay away from the Jiang family.
"Don't worry, when I become stronger, I will protect you."
Lu Yan said seriously. Jiang Jiu rolled his eyes at the young man, as if he didn't believe that he could become so powerful in such a short time, but the corners of his mouth curled up quietly.
It’s worth it that I took extra care of this brat. I hope it’s just as he said and I can have a safe future.
Arriving at the quaint house in the manor, Jiang Jiu pushed open the door. The solemn atmosphere in the hall made her frown. A group of old people, middle-aged and elderly people, and middle-aged people were sitting in the hall, staring at Jiang Jiu and examining Lu Yan behind her.
This group of guys deliberately exuded their aura to put pressure on him. The old man in the lead had a smile on his face, but he was the one who put the most pressure on him.
Lu Yan took a few steps back. As a four-star card master, he couldn't withstand the pressure from so many people. Jiang Jiu stepped forward and fiercely defended the young man:
"Have you had enough, you old bastards? I brought my boyfriend home and you're doing this to me, and you still dare to say you're not trying to use me again, you disgusting old dogs!"
Jiang Jiu pointed at their noses and cursed them loudly, almost cursing all his ancestors. His fierce tone made everyone's breath stop and they fell silent, with anger flashing in their eyes.
The old man in the lead, Jiang Shang, the former patriarch of the Jiang family, coughed a few times and said with a restrained tone, "I just wanted to see how the boyfriend you brought back, Jiu, is doing..."
"This is my boyfriend, not yours. He has nothing to do with you. Besides, he just filed a lawsuit. I remember that most of the people you arranged for me were not as good as him."
"I'm leaving now, now that I'm done."
Jiang Jiu pulled Lu Yan's hand and left. Under their gaze, the young man showed a hint of apology to the old people. He was dragged away by the girl and seemed to be in a subordinate position.
This made many people's eyes flicker, especially Jiang Shang, who was sitting in the first seat. A light flashed in his eyes, and he felt a little happy in his heart. His dislike for Lu Yan, the country boy, suddenly became less strong.
Under their pressure, he did not get angry, but expressed apology instead. It seems that this Lu Yan is not as cruel and ruthless as the intelligence said, and it seems that he was forced into a corner when facing the Wang family.
In this way, the Jiang family may be able to try to exert some influence on Jiang Jiu through Lu Yan to alleviate her resentment towards the entire family.
Of course, among the people present, there were those who were quite tolerant of Jiang Jiu, or wanted to use her, while there were also those who naturally resented her and wished she would die or never come back.
They realized that Lu Yan was a problem, and killing him and defeating him might be able to completely push Jiang Jiu to the opposite side of the Jiang family.
"You're still showing off, right? Why are you doing this? Do you know that this is very dangerous?!"
Leaving the room, Jiang Jiu, who noticed Lu Yan's little movements, stretched out his hand and twisted the soft flesh on his waist. He quickly begged for mercy:
"Isn't this trying to help you, sister? Do you lack confidence in yourself or me? When you were young, no, you must have experienced a lot of difficulties after leaving the Jiang family."
"No storm, no rainbow. I know my limits. This is an opportunity for you. If someone from the Jiang family really does attack me, you can use this as an excuse to completely cut off ties with the Jiang family."
"The thing is, I don't want you to risk your life to help me do this. I'd be even more heartbroken if you died, you know? My problems aren't something a 4-star card master like you can solve."
“4 stars is already very high, okay…”
Jiang Jiu's anger and worry gradually subsided. Lu Yan took the initiative to embrace this sister who was much older than him, bent down to explain the situation to her, and at the same time revealed some details to the girl, such as how many gold-level cards there were.
Only then did she reluctantly feel relieved and repeatedly told Lu Yan to be more careful.
When the two were heading to the next location, Lu Yan suddenly looked up at the sky and saw snowflakes suddenly starting to fall, and it was showing signs of turning into heavy snow.
"Snow...it just so happens that the place we're going to is a great place to enjoy the snow."
Jiang Jiu's eyes were full of nostalgia and memories. She took him to a garden with a lake. Many people had arrived earlier than them.
