âHowâs it? Are you disappointed or delighted by it?â Jiang Chen went to Jiang Moliang, and asked, while full of interest toward this.
âWhy will I be disappointed? I never said that I hoped that you die.â Even though Jiang Moliang said such words, she already guessed what he referred to by âdisappointmentâ.
She was really slightly disappointed. In her eyes, Young Master Feng was just a slob, who didnât know how high was the heaven and how deep was the ground, who depended upon the Elixir Association to rip off the Jiang family.
Besides the fact that he was a Heaven Alchemist, he didnât have even a single good quality, yet he still didnât go to make elixirs, and ran over instead to participate in the Title Battle. He even wanted to fight against Jiang Zhe.
This was also most peopleâs opinion.
It was only until Jiang Chen displayed his terrifying potential on this day did people realize that if he really grew up, there wouldnât be any place left for Jiang Zhe and Fang Wentian.
This was why Jiang Moliang was disappointed by his survival. It would be unknown which person would live among Jiang Zhe and Jiang Chen after half a year.
But, what was she sure about was that she hoped for Jiang Zhe to survive.
âWhat do you plan to do from now?â Jiang Moliang asked.
âWhat does it matter to you?â
âIf you leave now, Fang Wentian will surely send someone after you to kill you, as in comparison to affecting Jiang Zheâs mental state, you pose to him a greater threat now.â
What was ironic was just on this dayâs morning, Jiang Moliang said that Jiang Chen couldnât be considered even a chess piece.
âIsnât this what your Jiang family hoped for?â
âI already considered it carefully. Everything started when I killed that Mu familyâs Celestial Venerable, and even if my connection to the following matters was very little, I still donât want to take any risks.â
Jiang Moliang spoke solemnly, âHowever, if you really want to try your luck, and see whether Fang Wentian will send someone to kill you, I can also leave now.â
âItâs better to abstain from it.â Jiang Chen wasnât as obstinate as before now because he was sure that Fang Wentian would surely attack him.
He was really a madman, but he wasnât a fool. Even if he looked down upon Fang Wentian, he still mustnât forget that he brought a Great Venerable with him on his trip.
Jiang Moliang proposed to leave Treasure City, as it would be difficult to ensure their safeties otherwise.
âWe canât hide anything from you because of your Treasure-Seeking Artifact. Even if something was lacking, a similar manner to what happened in the past wonât occur again.â
When Jiang Moliang witnessed him hesitating, and recalled how he stated the previous day that he would stay in Treasure City, she could only speak helplessly.
Jiang Chen could now only bid farewell to Yaqin, who was reluctant to part with him.
When they were about to leave, Xiao Biluo came to Jiang Chen, and said, âYoung Master Feng, if you donât mind it, can we start all over again, and get to know each other.â
When Jiang Chen stated his status at first, he was quite candid, even though he was in disguise.
If Xiao Biluo didnât distance herself from him then, they could even become friends, and she wouldnât need to trouble herself like this.
âMiss Xiao, donât we already know each other?â Jiang Chen said with a smile.
There were some matters, which couldnât be done by force, and it was especially the case for becoming friends.
âOkay!â Xiao Biluo nodded, with disappointment apparent on her face. She finally understood that one would have just a single opportunity for some matters.
Jiang Chen, and Jiang Moliang, brought Lan with them, and left.
Fang Wentian wanted also to leave, but he couldnât leave now, as the chamber of commerce would assume then that he ran away.
âYoung Master Fang.â What you feared would surely come at you. A dignified voice echoed from behind him, âShouldnât we discuss our ten billionâs matter.â
It was at this moment did Xiao Biluo turn her head over, and she happened to witness this scene. She couldnât help but shake her head, and she brought her people with her, and left.
âYou already witnessed it. Most of it was taken away by Young Master Feng, so I canât take out all of it, but did you really assume that I will renege on it?â
When Fang Wentian just uttered such words, he recalled that he already used them a while ago, and werenât really effective. It was also the case for this time.
âWe can then just trouble you with staying in Treasure City for now until your family sends the money to us.â
âOkay!â Fang Wentian clenched his teeth. He wasnât really surprised by such an outcome.
...
Jiang Chen, who left Treasure City, traveled toward one of the Jiang familyâs cities, Beiliang City.
It wasnât the city, which he planned to go to before, because he already achieved his former object.
Beiliang City, which he would travel to, could 4 be considered one of the Jiang familyâs core cities, thus, it meant that it was quite important to them, and even though there were other factions in the city, but there were just garrisoning there.
The Jiang family had a hegemonic position in this city.
âWhat you will need next?â Jiang Moliang asked.
âI need people,â Jiang Chen replied.
âPeople? Do you plan to...?â Jiang Moliang was startled, and she quickly pulled Lan, and distanced herself from him.
However, what really frightened her was that if Jiang Chen really put out such a request, could she refuse it?
If she couldnât refuse it, would she really be willing to sacrifice herself for the Jiang family?
âDonât let your imagination run wild, I mean that I need warriors to spar with me.â
Jiang Chen said, âMoreover, even if I wanted to look for someone to dual cultivate with, I wonât look for you.â
Jiang Moliang let out a sigh of relief first, before she realized that something wasnât right in his words.
She glared at Jiang Chen angrily, and waited for an explication from him. Why did he state that he wouldnât look for her?
However, it was obvious that Jiang Chen didnât feel like explaining anything, and he flew forward.
As she looked at his back, Jiang Moliang extended her hand toward her sword sheath, but like all previous times, she still lowered her in the end.
After two days, the three of them reached Beiliang City.
âThis city is pretty good, and itâs bustling with noise and excitement,â Jiang Chen assessed it.
Jiang Moliang didnât know at first what he was referring to, and it was only after a short while did she realize that he stated it because there was a sea of people in the city. Many traveling merchants came into Beiliang City, while many factions garrisoned here.
It was unlike Purple Cloud City, which belonged wholly to the Jiang family, and all of its citizens took part in mining.
âYou arenât allowed to fly in the city,â when she noticed that Jiang Chen didnât plan to land down, Jiang Moliang reminded him.
âIt will take us a while to go from here to the cityâs center. Itâs a whole hour, and itâs precious cultivation time. You will be all then wasting my time, and interfering with my cultivation.â
Jiang Moliang knew that he stated this on purpose. She said angrily, âA formation is set in the city, and if you fly in the sky, you will be attacked...â
Before she managed to finish her speech, she saw a formation panel appearing in Jiang Chenâs hand, and after he flew in the sky for just a moment, she heard an explosion sound, as if the formation just lost effect.
âWhat did you just say?â
After Jiang Chen broke the formation, he flew back to her, and asked earnestly.
However, even though the formation lost all effects, a group of black-armored guards quickly rushed at them, and they were still two Celestial Venerables clad in bronze armor among them.
âDonât act rashly!â Jiang Moliang cast a glance at him, before she took a badge, and showed it the black-armored guards.
âYoung Miss Jiang, even if you are carrying a mission, you still mustnât destroy the formation.â
The black-armored guards loosened their guards when they witnessed that it was someone from their side, but they were still irritated.
Jiang Moliang didnât know what she should say in reply now.
âThe formation was destroyed by me.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Jiang Chen took several steps forward, and walked toward them. He said, âMost of your formations are lousy, and I just helped you all, and inspected it. Did you witness the outcome? The enemies wonât need more than a minute to destroy it.â
Upon hearing him, the black-armored guards looked at each other in dismay. They were confused and bewildered.
