Chapter 361
Chapter 362 – Hero and Truth
A few days later, Jiang Chen woke up in his own room in the east courtyard of the Jiang Mansion.
He pushed the door open and saw Jiang Qingyu and Gao Yue playing chess in the garden and some maids chasing butterflies and playing.
He hadn’t seen such a warm scene for a long time. It reminded him of something buried deeply in his memory.
Before the Pulse Invigorating Ceremony in the Black Dragon City, it had always been so peaceful and joyful in the east courtyard. The family had been living a pleasant life.
It had taken Jiang Chen many years to rebuild what they’d lost.
He felt great. He was beaming.
“That can wait. He’s learned a lot of martial arts techniques. If he studies more, I’m afraid he won’t be able to comprehend all of them completely.”
…
Jiang Chen travelled by airship. It didn’t take him long to arrive at the Natural Law School.
Since he had destroyed his disciple token, he was kept out of the tactical formation, but the disciples who were patroling let him in.
They looked at him in differently. There was awe, admiration, and even jealousy in their eyes.
What had happened to the Black Dragon City and the capital had caused a great stir throughout the Fire Field.
Jiang Chen had destroyed the Black Dragon City on his own and helped the Natural Law School defeat the dynasty on the latter’s home field. These were impossible achievements, even for a Venerable.
But Jiang Chen didn’t notice the disciples’ reactions. He hurried to head for the Palace of the Natural Law to meet Su Xiuyi.
“Crimson Moon? She was taken by the Hero Palace.”
Su Xiuyi was glad to see him. He said, “Jiang Chen, I was right about you. Thank you for your help. My wish was finally fulfilled.”
Jiang Chen was still thinking about Crimson Moon. He only smiled in reply.
Crimson Moon was a member of the Sacred Institute. She had gone there to study on behalf of the dynasty. The Sacred Institute had no right to interfere.
Unless she had joined the Hero Palace.
“Why is the Hero Palace so protective of her?” Jiang Chen was confused.
He asked Su Xiuyi, but didn’t get any clear answer.
“The Hero Palace only said Crimson Moon was very important to them. They didn’t give us any chances to ask questions. Besides, it’s fair to weed out the snakes in the grass.”
Crimson Moon wasn’t a concern of Su Xiuyi’s. He suddenly recalled something and said, “By the way, Li Xue’er was wounded when she was trying to save you. And it isn’t minor. Pay her a visit if you have time.”
“Sure. The school shouldn’t have sent her. She almost died.”
Jiang Chen wasn’t very happy when this subject was brought up.
“The school didn’t send her. If we had really had to send someone, it would have been one of the grand elders or me. Li Xue’er went of her own free will.”
“What?!”
Jiang Chen looked up in shock. He couldn’t believe what he had heard.
