Chapter 661: 661

After the bath, Jiang Chen took Lil Fan to see the two women, who were

having tea .

“Why did the bath take you so . . . “

Yi Chen started to complain right away, but she stopped as soon as she saw

Jiang Chen’s face .

Jiang Chen had looked like a beggar . Although his fine features still could be

vaguely seen, Yi Chen hadn’t been in the mood to appreciate them .

By then his ragged clothes had been off . After the bath, his appearance had

totally changed .

He’s so handsome!

Even Wen Xin thought the same .

Jiang Qingyu and Gao Yue were both pretty people . It was natural for their

son to be good-looking, too . Besides, Jiang Chen’s introvert character and

deep look didn’t make him any similar to a countryman .

“Lil Fan, is he really from your village?” Yi Chen asked involuntarily .

“No . Big brother is from the sky . He came with thunders and lightning,” Lil Fan

said right away .

He told the truth, but it was beyond the two women’s imagination . As a result,

they didn’t take it seriously .

“Great . So, he won’t embarrass us . “

They started to walk again . Yi Chen was much nicer to Jiang Chen . She was

extremely enjoying the looks from passerbys .

“You don’t have to be a servant when we return to the Clear Spirit Sect . I can

find you a job as a steward,” Yi Chen said .

Jiang Chen shook his head, smiling bitterly . He sighed about the importance

given to appearance .

Then something occurred to him suddenly . He said, “Have we already

arrived?”

“Yes . The Ancient Sword Sect is on that mountain . “

Leaving the city through another city gate, they saw a wide road paved with

flagstones .

As they walked ahead, more and more practicers came into Jiang Chen’s

sight .

Most of them were Reaching Heaven States, who had just landed on the

road .

Out of the respect for the Ancient Sword Sect, they didn’t fly onto the

mountain directly .

Jiang Chen felt like he was a part of the river flowing into a sea when they had

been at the mountain gate, since people stretched as far as the eye could

see .

“Will they invite us to the Heavenly Mountain Platform?”

“I think so . “

“Then we’ll see Apprentice Brother Song . “

The two women were talking in a low voice .

There were so many people coming for the birthday party . The Ancient Sword

Sect wouldn’t look after all of them . Some of them wouldn’t even get the

chance to meet the protagonist of the birthday party .

The Heavenly Mountain Platform was like VIP seats .

Whether one could get invited onto it depended on three things .

Identity, sincerity and talent .

The identity referred to whether the guest was a Venerable . Venerables didn’t

have to land outside the sect . They could just fly into the Ancient Sword Sect .

The talent referred to whether the guest was a young genius . That was what

all forces valued .

As to the sincerity, it referred to the present . It was human nature to attach

importance to presents .

Wen Xin and Yi Chen were kind of talented, but they weren’t the best . They

hadn’t thought about getting invited to the Heavenly Mountain Platform at all

in the first place .

However, after an exchange of look, they walked towards the mountain gate

excitedly .

Only two kinds of people had to wait in the queue . The first kind was those

who wanted to prove their talent .

The other kind was who wanted to get their sincerity verified . They would give

their gifts to the Ancient Sword Sect . The sect would check the gifts one by

one .

Those who wanted to prove neither their talent nor their sincerity could go

inside directly .

Jiang Chen was disappointed at what he had seen . He had held high

expectations of the Ancient Sword Sect when he had first heard about it .

He wasn’t aloof . The Over Cloud Palace would take gifts, too .

However, the Ancient Sword Sect’s snobbishness was too obvious .

Staying in the queue, Jiang Chen found those who wanted to prove their

talents were all in the late stage of the Reaching Heaven State .

He was a little bit emotional since he felt he saw his old self in them .

Suddenly, three people swaggered over . Ignoring Wen Xin and Yi Chen’s

angry look, they tried to jump the queue .

“Hey! You shouldn’t jump the queue!” Yi Chen couldn’t swallow it .

“Aren’t you the two sisters from the Clear Spirit Sect?”

“Are you in the wrong queue?”

“Yeah, why are you Clear Spirit Sect here? It’s a waste of time . Why don’t you

give your spots to us?”

The three people didn’t feel sorry at all . They even scorned at the two women .

Jiang Chen found they were two women and a man in the same uniform .

They should be from the same sect .

“Oh, right . You are from the Primordial Wood Sect . I was wondering who were

so rude!”

Crossing her arms over her chest, Yi Chen said sarcastically after recognizing

who they were .

“Yi Chen, you are as silver-tongued as always . “

The leader of the three people from the Primordial Wood Sect was a tall slim

pretty woman . She was in Cloud Four of the Reaching Heaven State, stronger

than Yi Chen .

“You can keep arguing, but you should first decide who will stay here and who

will go to the end of the queue . “

Wen Xin and Yi Chen weren’t the only people unhappy with the queue

jumping . Other people were also complaining .

“It’s them who jumped the queue,” Wen Xin argued, as if she was wronged .

“None of my business . “

The same man said indifferently .

“Go to the end of the queue, the only two Reaching Heaven States in the

Clear Spirit Sect,” the woman from the Primordial Wood Sect said

sarcastically .

Yi Chen was so angry that she was going to draw her sword out . She had told

Lil Fan how great the Clear Spirit Sect was . How could she put up with their

acrid comments?

“What happened?”

A disciple of the Ancient Sword Sect walked over from the head of the queue .

“It’s Apprentice Brother Song . “

Seeing that man coming, both Yi Chen and that woman called Shi Xiu got

nervous . They hurried to arrange their hair .

Jiang Chen didn’t think it weird at all after seeing that Apprentice Brother

Song’s face .

Handsome, tall and strong, he looked great in the close-fitting black robe he

was wearing .

“Apprentice Brother Song, they want to jump the queue!” Yi Chen said

immediately .

“Apprentice Brother Song, they are wasting their time . What can the Clear

Spirit Sect gift to show their sincerity?” Shi Ling from the Primordial Wood

Sect argued .

Apprentice Brother Song frowned at them .

“Apprentice sister, why don’t you let me have a look at the gift first?” said

Apprentice Brother Song .

His response disappointed Jiang Chen, too .

As the most important disciple of the Ancient Sword Sect, he was an

unprincipled person . He didn’t do anything to maintain the order .

However, Yi Chen didn’t seem to think there was anything inappropriate . She

took the wooden box out complacently, throwing Shi Ling a glance .

Shi Ling rolled her eyes in an exaggerated way . Crossing her arms over the

chest, she was waiting to see what the Clear Spirit Sect had .

Unfortunately, where she was standing didn’t allow her to see what was in the

box, but good for her, Apprentice Brother Song took the Redcloud Sword out

of the box .

The sheath didn’t seem any special .

“Some short-sighted people give trash as a present,” Shi Ling couldn’t help

but scorn .

Apprentice Brother Song looked puzzled, until he drew the sword out .

He was pleasantly surprised when he had drawn only one-third of it out .

Changing a way to hold it, he looked like he was holding an extremely

valuable treasure .

He didn’t draw the sword completely out, but kept looking at the pattern on the

blade .

“It’s a magic weapon!”

The queue went into an uproar . Shi Ling’s eyes almost popped out of her

head .

“It’s a good sword! It’s great!”

Apprentice Brother Song kept speaking approvingly . Wen Xin and Yi Chen

didn’t have to wait in the queue anymore, since he was going to take them

onto the mountain in person .

Yi Chen felt she was on top of the world .

Leaving Shi Ling, who was feeling jealous, behind, the four followed

Apprentice Brother Song onto the mountain .

“Apprentice sister, where did you get the sword?” asked Apprentice Brother

Song .

Wen Xin and Yi Chen exchanged a look . They didn’t know how to answer him .

“So, is there anything you can’t tell me? If this sword is involved in some

crime, the Ancient Sword Sect won’t accept it,” Apprentice Brother Song said

seriously .

However, Jiang Chen knew from his look that he was hiding something while

he was speaking .
