Chapter 865

“The rumor is true . This Jiang Chen has offended all of the forces in the Three Middle Realms . ”

“He might have big trouble today . ”

“It will be a big victory if he can simply survive . ”

People empathized with Jiang Chen and felt pity for him due to the Spirits’ attitude . There were some people who were gloating too . Jiang Chen’s enemies were not only the Spirits—many strong youngsters from the human race also wanted to pick a fight with him .

Song Hao, Fan Yao, and Han Qianye were all eager to teach Jiang Chen a lesson .

“Jiang Chen, it’s the biggest mistake you’ve ever made that you refused to collaborate with me,” Ning Haotian murmured quietly .

Glancing over at all those people, Jiang Chen said disdainfully, “Show me what you have . ”

It created a big disturbance . However, most people were used to it . It was not weird for them at all .

“You can be arrogant, but you must be strong enough . Otherwise you are nothing else but an idiot,” someone said .

Ling Yushi came up to Tian Ling . She whispered to her, “As Young Master Han said, you don’t have any taste . ” She had not said anything when Jiang Chen was rude to her, but she was actually quite unhappy . Fortunately, she had Ning Haotian’s divine piece of art . Thanks to that, she would achieve her goal soon .

“At least I can see what the truth is,” Tian Ling said .

No matter what others thought, she had helped Jiang Chen because he had finished divine pieces of art . And it was because the Jiangs were so oppressive that she had quarreled with Jiang Zhe . In fact, she really admired Jiang Chen, because he had remained true to his original aspirations until this very day .

“Are you still lying to yourself? Truth will out soon,” Ling Yushi said with a smile . If people who did not know them saw her smile, they would probably think these two women were best friends .

Looking toward the Cliff Mountain group, Tian Ling did not speak .

“Seniors, Wang Teng is glad to meet you . ”

At this moment, a young voice came from up in the air . Many people looked up in shock, unable to believe what they had heard . After confirming that they had not heard it wrong, they were all excited .

“Junior Sword Venerable, Wang Teng!”

“He is really here! Miss Ling Yushi didn’t lie . ”

“Has he achieved Great Venerable?”

Under numerous gazes, a figure slowly landed on the cliff, looking toward everyone who was gathered there . That was indeed Wang Teng . He had won the title of Junior Sword Venerable .

The three words, “Junior Sword Venerable”, were all golden . Back then, the first-class young swordsmen in the Three Middle Realms had put up a great fight . In the end, Wang Teng, who had finished a divine piece of art, gained a landslide victory, which shocked the whole world .

Wang Teng had done many things worth admiring . He was the youngsters’ idol . It was the first time Jiang Chen had seen him, and he saw how extraordinary Wang Teng was immediately . He was of average height, wearing white clothes . His face was handsome, but looked a bit melancholic, as if he had something weighing on his mind . He landed on the platform, at the center of a group of young geniuses . Nothing special happened . Everything seemed normal . However, he looked extremely brilliant . Everyone beside him was overshadowed .

“Tian Ling, I’m here to say happy birthday to you,” he said .

His gentle tone made Tian Ling the focus of attention . Numerous women felt jealous of her .

However, seeing Tian Ling’s beauty and at the thought of her attainments, they felt ashamed of themselves . These two were a perfect match .

“So, Wang Teng is here for Tian Ling’s birthday . ”

“Isn’t he here to take his divine piece of art back?”

“I guess it’s not true . ”

Anyone could see the situation was not what they had expected . They had thought that Wang Teng would come to the Civil and Martial Arts Institute to take his divine piece of art back . Although the divine piece of art was in the Martial Emperor’s keeping, once he asked for it, the position of the Civil and Martial Arts Institute would be greatly affected . However, it was easy to see from Wang Teng’s expression that he did not have any such intentions .

“Young Master Wang Teng . ” Standing before Wang Teng, even Ling Yushi, a woman of noble bearing, involuntarily felt nervous and reserved .

Nodding casually, Wang Teng looked quite coldly at her .

“Here you are, your birthday present . ” Wang Teng had never taken his eyes off Tian Ling . A box suddenly appeared in his hand, as if he was a magician .

“Thank you . ” Tian Ling was not surprised . She took it, but did not open the box to satisfy the crowd’s curiosity .

“Won’t you open it?” Wang Teng said .

Smiling, Tian Ling opened the box . Then she was shocked . Numerous holy awarenesses also saw what was in the box . All of them took a deep breath, astonished by Wang Teng’s generosity . There were six leaves of Enlightenment Tea in the box, forming a neat circle . In comparison, the Star Stone Jiang Zhe had given her was not worth mentioning at all .

“Take it . Don’t say anything out of courtesy . It’s no big deal for me,” Wang Teng said . His casual manner won numerous people’s admiration . Even Fan Yao or Han Qianye could not say things like that .

“I heard someone had finished two divine pieces of art?” Wang Teng asked when Tian Ling had accepted the Enlightenment Tea . In this way, people’s attention went back to Jiang Chen .

He still wants to look into it .

At this thought, Jiang Chen went back to the platform .

“Young Master Wang Teng, it’s him, who has claimed to complete two divine pieces of art,” Ling Yushi said right away . In this way, Wang Teng finally took his eyes off Tian Ling to look at another person . It could have been an illusion, but people felt invisible energies from Jiang Chen and Wang Teng were competing .

“Tian Ling, why did you help him?” Wang Teng asked, frowning .

He evidently did not believe Jiang Chen capable of completing two divine pieces of art .

“Brother, it’s not like that . Jiang Chen does have the capability to finish them . ” Tian Ling did not want to see conflicts between them . At the same time, she explained to Jiang Chen, “He is my half brother . We have the same father . Not many people know . Please don’t misunderstand us . ” However, even she did not know why she had explained this to Jiang Chen .

“I’ve heard that you fought with the Jiangs for his sake . ” Wang Teng was not listening to her . His look was sharp, as if he was observing something .

“Brother Wang Teng . ” Jiang Zhe walked over . He said, “Tian Ling didn’t really fight with the Jiangs . We had some misunderstandings . It was nothing serious . ”

“Okay . ” Wang Teng responded, but no one knew what it was supposed to mean .

“Someone hasn’t even given Tian Ling a birthday present to appreciate her help,” Jiang Zhe added .

Tian Ling became anxious . She looked over . As expected, Wang Teng did not look very happy .

“He doesn’t take you seriously at all . I won’t allow you to think so low of yourself,” Wang Teng said, leaving no room for doubt .

“Aren’t you too arrogant?” At this moment, Jiang Chen, standing opposite to him, said . His first response was surprising . He was still who he was before Wang Teng . He did not show any fear or awe . Walking over, he said, “Her birthday is today . I just didn’t give the present to her in advance . But you believed whatever others said and think I won’t give her anything?”

Wang Teng was emotionless . He was staring at Jiang Chen with his cold black eyes .

After a while, he asked Jiang Zhe, “What did you give her?”

“A Star Stone,” Jiang Zhe answered complacently .

“What are you going to give her?” Wang Teng asked Jiang Chen . What he implied was obvious .

“Presents don’t matter… . ” Tian Ling said anxiously .

“Presents don’t matter . It’s the thought that counts . If a man doesn’t even have the thought, he isn’t good enough for you to do anything for him . ” Wang Teng interrupted her . Staring at Jiang Chen, he walked up to the latter . He said, “So, what are you going to give her?”
