Chapter 1717: Childhood Sweethearts

No wonder those people would think this way .

First of all, Jiang Chen didn’t look like a bad person . He didn’t wield any sharp weapons in his hands .

They didn’t know how strong Jiang Chen was .

From what they knew about the defense ability of the Martial Arts Saints, it would take one at least three seconds to kill Ye Siyue without a weapon .

Three seconds were very long for the Martial Arts Saints .

The man’s name was Long Teng, a well-known genius in the Green Field . His deft swordsmanship was matchless .

Three seconds were enough for him to finish exerting a complete set of sword techniques .

It would be easy for him to subdue Jiang Chen .

“Well, actually, we knew each other when we were little . We were childhood sweethearts, but our families didn’t agree on us being together, so we had to break up . Recently, I heard she is getting married . So, I asked her sister to help me set up a meeting with her so that I can see her for the last time as an unmarried woman . ”

“We’ve done nothing . You must forgive her . ”

Jiang Chen kept spewing nonsense with a straight face to create confusion so that he would have time to figure out how to get out of this .

He did not dare exert the Great Method of Void again, and in this city, it was impossible to fly .

The mansion of the city lord, where he was, was full of strong people .

If he had known this, he would rather have dueled with the woman from the Heavenly Ease Sword School outside of the city .

Ye Siyue was so frustrated that she almost cried . What mattered to her most was not what Jiang Chen had said, but the fact that the man in front of her half believed him .

“Long Teng! You don’t think I’m trustworthy enough?” she yelled .

Her furious accusation finally woke the youngster up .

The sound of a sword being unsheathed came, but no one saw anything . An Immortal Sword appeared in Long Teng’s hand .

“I don’t care who you are! Siyue is my fiancée! Let go of her! Then I’ll incapacitate you!”

Jiang Chen let out a long sigh . “There’s no need for that . ”

“Release the young lady!” cried the others around them sharply, finally coming to their senses .

“His strength is comparable to that of a dragon and an elephant . He has no qualms breaking my neck in one mere second . ”

Ye Siyue cautioned the others through voice transmission .

Those who were about to attack Jiang Chen hesitated .

Long Teng, famous for his skillful swordsmanship, also started to ponder .

“Less than one second, in fact,” Jiang Chen blurted abruptly .

Ye Siyue was surprised that he could even hear the voice transmission, which seemed impossible to her .

It could only happen when the other person’s status was way higher than hers .

According to Ye Siyue’s status, Jiang Chen had to be a Venerable Sovereign to achieve that .

The others also realized this . They were first surprised and then felt relieved .

If Jiang Chen were a Venerable Sovereign, he could have saved all this trouble .

He might not be able to raze the city lord’s mansion, but he could leave on his own .

In the stalemate, Ye Sizhu ran into the garden . She had finally gotten dressed .

She was speechless to see them at loggerheads in the garden . She said, “This was all a misunderstanding . Jiang Chen’s intrusion was purely an accident . ”

“But he is holding your sister hostage now . That can’t be a misunderstanding, can it?”

Seeing both their bodies pressed against each other, Long Teng was upset .

Ye Sizhu was speechless . She looked at Jiang Chen and walked toward him .

“Don’t come over!” Ye Siyue warned her immediately .

Those from the city lord’s mansion tried to stop her as well to avoid annoying Jiang Chen .

“If he is really the person I think he is, he wouldn’t have done that . ” Ye Sizhu looked at Jiang Chen with clear eyes as she spoke .

Jiang Chen was mildly taken aback that a total stranger trusted him to such an extent .

“Let go of my sister . I’ll help you explain, all right?” Ye Sizhu pleaded with him .

The others all shook their heads . They didn’t believe he would let go of Ye Siyue for such a simple promise .

However, to everyone’s surprise, Jiang Chen loosened his grip on Ye Siyue’s arm and took a step backward .

Ye Sizhu beamed . Her endearing dimples showed .

However, her smile soon froze . She let out a startled gasp .

Ye Siyue, after being released, turned around immediately to punch Jiang Chen forcefully in the chest, extremely annoyed .

Jiang Chen was sent flying . He crushed a few flowerbeds as he landed on the ground .

“Elder Sister!” Ye Sizhu sounded close to sobs .

“He was rude to me, speaking insolently and defaming me . How could I forgive him so easily?” Ye Siyue said coldly .

“He had to do that . If he had other options, he wouldn’t have done that . He didn’t even do that deliberately . ” Looking at Jiang Chen lying motionless on the ground, she felt truly sorry for him .

“How do you know?” asked Ye Siyue .

“The book says Jiang Chen is an upright man,” Ye Sizhu affirmed with certainty .

That answer was obviously not convincing enough .

“Take this man away! Interrogate him . Torture him if necessary!”

Long Teng ordered as he returned his sword into its sheath .

Ye Sizhu hastily approached her elder sister to plead mercy for Jiang Chen .

Seeing Jiang Chen getting back on his feet, Ye Siyue appeared as if she was considering something . Then she shook her head without speaking .

With that, Jiang Chen was surrounded by the men from the city lord’s mansion .

“I was wondering how great you were! Now you are at my mercy . Just wait and see . ”

Jiang Chen heard Long Teng addressing him in a frosty voice .

“In other words, you want to see my impressive skills, don’t you?”

Jiang Chen suddenly turned to Long Teng and challenged him aloud .

Long Teng curled his lip . He did not understand Jiang Chen’s motive for saying that, because in his opinion, it would only humiliate him .

“This is not going well!”

Ye Sizhu lost her cool . A deep uneasiness was visible in her eyes .

“Sister, stop this right away . You won’t like what happens next!” she exclaimed urgently .

Ye Siyue also sensed the uneasiness that permeated the air, but since they were in the city lord’s mansion, she did not take it too seriously .

“It’s said in the book that Jiang Chen is a man of integrity . But he is also a difficult person whom you should never provoke!”

Grasping her elder sister’s arm, Ye Sizhu was too ashamed to ask Jiang Chen to stop once more .

“The book, the book… that book of yours is nothing but tabloid material . You do actually believe what it says?” Ye Siyue was flustered .

Over on the other side, Long Teng, holding his sword, approached Jiang Chen .

“Come on . Show me your remarkable skills,” he provoked .

It was as though Jiang Chen had recited a mantra . Ye Sizhu then realized that the situation was a lost cause .

Beside Jiang Chen, a ball of energy was gathering . Soon, another Jiang Chen appeared .

By then, Ye Sizhu was completely sure Jiang Chen was exactly the person she thought him to be .

The practicing body shouted in anger . His energy soared into the sky . The furious energy destroyed the garden .

Those from the city lord’s mansion were forced to retreat, terrified .

Even Ye Siyue turned pale .

This altercation alone was already beyond her limits!

Did it mean Jiang Chen was a Venerable Sovereign?

Then, the practicing body flew toward Long Teng, brandishing his fists . A potent dragon power broke out .

A heavy punching sound came . Long Teng’s Protective Dipper Energy and armor were useless . Jiang Chen bashed him in the head . He was sent flying and impacted a deep dent in the wall about ten miles away .

Ye Siyue held her breath . Long Teng’s speed was his strength . However, he failed to dodge this forthcoming punch .

This confirmed her assumption once again .

Looking at Jiang Chen, Ye Sizhu was downcast .

She knew from her book that Jiang Chen did not fly into a rage very often, but once he was agitated, blood would be shed!
