Chapter 1066: To Trash the Shop
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the hostel, Jiang Chen stopped Yao Yuntong from going out. He did not say much. “You can’t save your father, even if you go out.” That was all he said.
Although it was cruel, Yao Yuntong managed to calm down.
Going out alone, Jiang Chen saw Ai Liang in anger. He had to admit he felt wonderful.
At first it was Master Luo Cheng and then the Black Wind Swordsman. Now, it was finally his true body. He was afraid the truth was beyond Ai Liang’s imagination.
“Not bad. You have the nerve to come out,” Ai Liang said coldly.
“Why are you so angry? What happened?” Jiang Chen asked although he already knew the answer. A smile pulled up the corners of his mouth.
For Ai Liang, this was the last thing he wanted to talk about. “Cut the c.r.a.p. Are you gonna hide there with that woman forever?” And he added, “Even if you hide there for the rest of your life, you won’t be able to resist the Thunder G.o.d Sect.”
“You Thunder G.o.d Sect are not great enough to make me hide for the rest of my life.” Jiang Chen’s remark was so irritating that Ai Liang almost attacked him regardless of the rules of the city, but he managed to hold his temper at the last minute.
“Actually, I want to talk with you about that,” Jiang Chen said.
Ai Liang was puzzled. He did not understand what Jiang Chen meant.
“Yao Yuntong and I will come to see you in two weeks. We’ll sort this out by then,” Jiang Chen added.
Ai Liang realized what he was going to do but was still puzzled by his intentions.
“What result are you expecting?” Ai Liang said. It was funny for him.
“For example, stop making things difficult for the Yaos?” Jiang Chen answered him with a question.
Ai Liang tried to keep a straight face. He was even less angry. He said, “Let me tell you. It’s impossible. Unless you can offer us something!”
“Not necessarily. We haven’t talked about it, have we? Besides, the headmaster of the Thunder G.o.d Sect hasn’t given you the right yet. So, don’t be so sure.”
Rolling his eyes, Ai Liang wondered what Jiang Chen was plotting. “You just want to stay in peace for two weeks, don’t you?” He tried to sound Jiang Chen out, but he could not find the answer from Jiang Chen’s face.
“Okay. Let’s see what you can get from the talk. Remember! Two weeks!” Then Ai Liang left with his men.
Jiang Chen would not be threatened by him anyway. It was unnecessary for him to go on trash talking.
Walking back to the hostel, Jiang Chen saw the worries on Yao Yuntong’s face.
“Trust me,” Jiang Chen said before she could speak.
Yao Yuntong agreed, but she was still frowning.
…..
One trouble followed another.
Not long after Ai Liang had left, Yang Jing, ranked in the top three of the Human List, arrived. He swaggered into the Tian Hu Hostel with an arrogant face.
“Isn’t this the guy who claimed to kick me out of the top three of the Human List? You came to the Sky Reaching City, but why are you hiding here and have never shown up?”
“Do you want another good beating?” Jiang Chen asked him.
Yang Jing was embarra.s.sed, especially when the other people in the hall looked toward him.
“Don’t you dare do that to me again in the Sky Reaching City.” He said in anger, “Even Ai Liang has been holding his temper. I don’t believe you dare go against the rules of the Sky Reaching City.”
“You don’t think I dare?” Pulling a long face, Jiang Chen strode over.
Yang Jing was scared out of his wits. He kept retreating, pointing at Jiang Chen with his right arm.
“Don’t approach me. I don’t want to fight with you.”
“But I want to give you a beating,” Jiang Chen said.
Ahem. Ahem. Ahem.
Someone in the hostel coughed at this moment, but no one knew who it was. However, everyone in the hostel sensed a great pressure. They did not even have the nerve to breathe hard. At the same time, the plaque hanging in the lobby was s.h.i.+ning. There were seven words on it.
“Go out if you have to fight.”
It was as if the plaque was telling Jiang Chen the rules here.
Jiang Chen did not give it too much thought. Taking back his energy, he warned the person opposite him with a look.
Yang Jing felt relieved. He had been afraid Jiang Chen was really going to beat him.
In fact, Jiang Chen did not want to disobey any rules of the Sky Reaching City to bring himself unnecessary trouble, but it did not matter to throw a scare into Yang Jing.
“You know about the banquet of the Wizard Race? Don’t say I haven’t given you an opportunity. We’ll have a fight by then!” Yang Jing told Jiang Chen what he had come for.
“There are still two months to go? Don’t you think by then you won’t do anything but kneel down to beg for my mercy?” Jiang Chen said seriously.
Yang Jing told himself to calm down. At least he should not show his anger. Otherwise, he would lose.
“I’m wondering whether you will have the nerve to walk out of the Tian Hu Hostel out of the Sky Reaching City on that day.”
Then Yang Jing walked to the door. At the door, he looked back, as if he had not had enough fun. He said, “The apprentice of the Martial Arts Saint left you. Now you are with this supreme Venerable Spirit… Will your relations.h.i.+p end up the same?”
Squinting, Jiang Chen said calmly, “You might be disappointed.”
Yang Jing burst out laughing. Then he left without saying anything.
The young people here are quite eloquent, Jiang Chen thought. Then, coming up to a waiter, he told the latter, “I was a bit emotional just now. Please convey my apologies to your boss.”
“No problem.” Smiling, the waiter agreed.
Back in his room, Jiang Chen went into the Heavenly Palace again.
“Practice more and then come here again. It’s not so easy to go through the Cloud Reaching Hall,” Yue’e said.
Jiang Chen had failed more than ten times during this period. It was not allowed to use any external force in the Cloud Reaching Hall. He had to go through it by himself. “I don’t have much time to wait.” Jiang Chen exclaimed. Then he entered the Cloud Reaching Hall again. He must get the Tower of the G.o.d of Longevity! Watching him walking into the Cloud Reaching Hall, Yue’e remained silent. Her look was quite complicated.
The next day, Jiang Chen walked out of the Cloud Reaching Hall in a disgraceful manner. Although it was only a practicing body, the pain was real. Jiang Chen was heavily injured. He hurried to treat himself so that this practicing body would not vanish.
…..
Elsewhere, Jiang Chen’s true body came to the Sundry Goods Store to start the day’s business. The new shop was in the mall, where there were more people. Customers from other continents could see his shop sign directly when they turned on the projection.
Outside the door, many customers who had come for Doctrine Artifacts had gathered. A group of people suddenly appeared before the shop was open. Those of the chamber of commerce recognized them right away. They were from the Mysterious Weapon Pavilion. They came here through projecting from the Saint Reaching Continent. Master Mo, whom Jiang Chen had met the previous day, was also in the group. However, he was not the leader. The leader was the middle-aged man walking next to him, surrounded by his minions.
“Headmaster of the Mysterious Weapon Pavilion, Bai Yi.”
“Why is he here in person?”
“Simple. The Mysterious Weapon Pavilion is the most famous spiritual weapon shop. Now its thunder has been stolen by the Sundry Goods Store. Of course they are not happy.”
“So what? What can they do? Do they want to trash the shop?”
“Who knows.”
Under people’s gazes, the group of the Mysterious Weapon Pavilion walked into the Sundry Goods Store.
“Are you Master Luo Cheng?”
Like most people, Bai Yi was surprised by Jiang Chen’s young look when he saw him for the first time.
