Chapter 372
“Young lady? The Gaos’ young lady? Are you kidding me? Is the current Gao Yue still qualified to be our young lady?”
The man with the loudest voice was still shouting. Jiang Chen could imagine his disgusted look when speaking, even though there was a door between them.
Gao Ke strode over. He opened the door and said, “The lord of the Gaos is lying in here. Are you going to rebel and act so uncontrolled?”
His words immediately quieted the whole room.
“Gao Ke, don’t talk nonsense. We really have things to tell Gao Yue!” a few seconds later, the man with the loud voice said.
“Gao Li, I’m the acting lord of the Gaos. Talk to me if you have something to discuss, unless you want to act beyond your authority!” said Gao Ke.
“Huh, in a word, you’re protecting your sister, the traitor of the Gaos,” Gao Li rebuked audaciously. Obviously, the acting lord didn’t have enough authority to stop him.
“Let’s see how pure your son’s phoenix blood is.”
Gao Yue glanced at the crystal and said, “Son, this is a Spiritual Phoenix Stone. Grasp it tightly, and it’ll give off a strong or weak light according to the purity of your phoenix blood. That’s how we test phoenix blood.”
Jiang Chen noticed the crystal had many sharp corners. If he grasped it tightly, he would definitely bleed.
But this wasn’t his concern. His concern was whether it would expose him.
He wasn’t sure about the current situation yet. He didn’t know whether Gao Ke was a good or bad man, since he had found out the lord of the Gaos had been poisoned!
But he didn’t have a choice. If he didn’t do the test, Gao Li wouldn’t stop.
“Let’s start.”
When Jiang Chen was about to grasp the stone, Gao Yue said, “Uncle Li, what’s your standard? What’s the level you’ll accept?”
“Most of the disciples of the direct line have thick phoenix blood. Your son would have to have pure phoenix blood to surpass them,” said Gao Li.
Many people were shocked, because even if Gao Yue had a political marriage, her descendant wouldn’t necessarily have pure phoenix blood.
Gao Li had made it sound like he was making a concession, which was sickening.
“What if I have pure phoenix blood?” said Jiang Chen.
“Huh, then what your mother said will be proven right. What else do you want?” Gao Li said unhappily.
“You made my mother take poison and it turned out to be a mistake. You’re asking me what else I want?” Jiang Chen said coldly.
“You speak too much. Are you afraid?” Lily cursed.
Her words warned Gao Li. Jiang Chen probably wanted to use this as an excuse to avoid the test.
“If you have pure phoenix blood, you can get whatever you want!” Gao Li made an offer that Jiang Chen couldn’t refuse.
“Okay.”
So Jiang Chen grasped the crystal, hard.
