Chapter 275: A Pretentious Speech

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Didn’t Nan Gong tell you the Hero Palace was different from the Sacred Institute?”

Ying Wushuang looked towards Jiang Chen after those disgusting people had left . She didn’t look relieved, but more serious .

Without waiting for Jiang Chen’s answer, Ying Wusuang said again, “More than half of those guys are passed the initial phase of the Reaching Heaven State . Could you win if you really had a fight with them?”

“I had a plan,” Jiang Chen said while petting Whitty’s head .

“I hate men like you . You never know when to quit,” Ying Wushuang said .

“Don’t forget that it was you who caused the trouble,” Jiang Chen emphasized .

“Huh . ” Ying Wushuang stopped arguing . She walked ahead quickly .

Jiang Chen followed her . When she had slowed down, he said, “Obviously we don’t get along well . We shouldn’t be partners . Besides, it’ll be quite inconvenient for us to solve the problem together . “

Then both of them stopped .

“Fine . Wait here . I’ll go see Nan Gong,” Ying Wushuang said coldly after a while and turned around emotionlessly . She didn’t follow the original path back, but jumped a few times toward the mountain and soon disappeared .

Jiang Chen shook his head and started to enjoy the scenery nearby .

Two lights landed before him soon . They were Nan Gong and Ying Wushuang .

Nan Gong was grasping Ying Wushuang’s shoulders . He let go of her after they had landed .

“Wushuang, let me talk to Jiang Chen alone . “

“Okay . “

Ying Wushuang left decisively . She still looked very sullen .

“Jiang Chen, do you know why Wushuang’s temper is like this? She’s actually suffered a lot . You saw those guys from the Knife Dragon Association, too . “

Jiang Chen hadn’t expected Nan Gong to speak for Ying Wushuang .

“Yeah . “

“There are many associations in the Hero Palace . The Sword Association is one of them . Ying Wushuang was a member of it, and its president Ling Yunjian fell in love with her .

“However, Ling Yunjian had a fiancée . She started to attack Ying Wushuang in the Hero Palace when she found out . Under pressure, Ying Wushuang had to quit the association . She became marginalized in the Hero Palace . That’s how she was sent to the Sacred Institute and became the captain of the Discipline Department .

“She’s a stubborn girl . After all this, she became very extreme . In the Discipline Department, she has to deal with all kinds of troublemakers . That’s why she’s always so angry and serious .

“I don’t think it would be good for her if things continued like this . I hoped you could help her out, so I sent her to work with you although it would be uncomfortable between you two .

“If you want someone else to work with you, she’ll go back to the Discipline Department . But then she might never be able to change her fate . “

Jiang Chen was surprised to hear Ying Wushuang’s story . Or put another way, he had refused to think about what may have happened to her .

He wasn’t a playboy who was weak for pretty women, but since Nan Gong had asked him this favor, he wouldn’t be able to refuse it .

“Okay . I got it . “

“Hmm, go ahead! By the way, don’t act like you pity her,” Nan Gong told him .

“Sure . “

Jiang Chen smiled bitterly . He knew what that meant .

He walked to the end of the passage after Nan Gong left . Ying Wushuang was there, waiting .

She was still frowning, her lips curled tightly .

“Where is Nan Gong?”

“Gone . “

“So?”

“Nan Gong said no one else wanted to be my subject . So, I’m sorry, but we still have to work together . Hopefully things will work out for us!”

Ying Wushuang looked embarrassed . She turned around immediately and said, “We’ve already wasted lots of time . Let’s go to the Time Palace . “

They didn’t speak to each other on the way . They came across many people from the Hero Palace . They looked at the two in a weird way, but none of them picked a fight .

When they arrived at the Time Palace, they found a group of people already there .

The ones who had had quarreled with the two were also there, but they weren’t their own boss anymore . They were standing beside youngsters carrying swords .

One of the youngsters was quite handsome, surrounded by many people like a superstar . His lips were red, his teeth white . He looked to be twenty years old at most .

He had a pair of almond-shaped eyes . He was looking down, but he suddenly opened his eyes wide when he had seen Ying Wushuang coming . He shouted coldly, “B*tch! Don’t you remember what the Sword Association told you when we expelled you?”

“I’ve been assigned a task by an elder,” Ying Wushuang said . It was easy to tell she was extremely afraid of this guy .

“You should have refused him!” the youngster shouted coldly, then waved his hand . He said, “Go tell your elder that you want to quit . Although I have no idea what the task is, I won’t allow the scum of the Sword Association walking here and there in the Hero Palace . “

“And what if I don’t?” Ying Wushuang’s voice sounded hoarse . She was extremely angry . She felt a burning sensation in her throat .

“B*tch, how dare you!”

The youngster became angrier . He took a step forward . He was as aggressive as the sharp radiance of a sword .

Ying Wushuang stepped back involuntarily, but the sword-shaped energy followed and cornered her .

When she had given up fighting back, a figure appeared before her .

“I can’t believe a guy that looks as sharp as you could talk to a girl like that . Well, you live and learn . “

After a casual insult, the sword-shaped energy was split into two .

The guy who had spoken was, of course, Jiang Chen .

“How dare you!”

Those beside the youngster all flew into a rage . He himself was still in shock . He hadn’t expected anyone to accuse him like that .

After he had finally come to himself, his look was sharp enough to kill . He said, “You’ll pay the price for what you just said!”

“Are you the president of the Sword Association?” asked Jiang Chen .

“Nope . That’s my brother-in-law,” said the youngster .

“That explains it,” Jiang Chen laughed .

“Explains what?” The youngster was staring at him, frowning .

“It would be quite disappointing if the president of the Sword Association sucked like you,” Jiang Chen said .

It caused quite a stir .

Even bystanders were shocked by him .

“Who is this ignorant guy? How dare he speak like this?!”

“Doesn’t he know where he is?”

“Why is this youngster looking for death?”

The bystanders started talking heatedly . They didn’t keep their voices down, since they didn’t mind if Jiang Chen heard them .

“You’re criticizing me, but this guy insulted a woman and you just turned a blind eye to it . I’m trying to seek justice for her . Why is that pretentious? Should I say you’re a coward or you’re foolish?” said Jiang Chen .

“How dare you!”

“You’ve gone too far!”

Everyone was irritated by him . Several energies erupted at the same time . A few guys dashed over to Jiang Chen, as fast as shooting stars .

“Wait!”

A sword-shaped energy was suddenly released around Jiang Chen and subdued the other energies .

When those people had realized where that energy had come from, none of them had the nerve to say anything .

“He’s mine!”

The youngster’s sword was drawn out from its sheath . He was pointing the tip of the sword at Jiang Chen . He said in a cold voice, “I, Murong Xing, will turn your arrogance into a joke .

“I only need one movement to defeat you!”

He thrust the sword out as soon as he finished his speech .

No matter what kind of man the youngster was, his sword attack was impeccable . He had passed the initial phase of the Reaching Heaven State, so his attack was quite powerful .

None of the people Jiang Chen had defeated in the Sacred Institute could compare to him .

“This b*stard…”

Ying Wushuang gnashed her teeth . She was quite moody .
