Chapter 318
Murong Yuan couldn’t hold her temper any longer when she made it to a place with no people around. She flew into a rage and vented her anger.
The female disciples with her all stayed far away. They didn’t dare either approach her or speak.
“Could… Could Jianfei have been helping the b*tch secretly?”
It was possible. The disciples sent to sabotage Ying Wushuang’s practice were from the Sword Association, and Mo Jianfei was the president of the Sword Association.
That was the only way to explain what had happened that day.
“Damn it. Ying Wushuang, you asked for it! Don’t blame me!”
Murong Yuan had made up her mind. She was going to take revenge against Ying Wushuang.
The leader asked him what he wanted. Jiang Chen said he needed a powerful man of the venerable level to help him rescue his father when he returned to the Fire Field, but the leader declined tactfully. He said that the Hero Palace had won respect because they had never intervened in personal affairs.
At that point, the talk reached an impasse.
The leader said, “Jiang Chen, have you ever thought about why the Hero Palace is paying so much attention to the method to develop extraordinary meridians?”
“Why?” Jiang Chen didn’t know.
“It will make up for the weaknesses of the Reaching Heaven States. It’s very important. The whole continent will be mad for it, but the Hero Palace has never intended to gain great power through it.
“What the Hero Palace is going to do is gather enough groups to fight against the Evil Cloud Palace.”
Jiang Chen realized the leader was trying to convince him with a righteous cause.
He thought for a while and said with courage, “Leader, wealth and power are never separable.”
As soon as he had finished speaking, the grand elders around all paled, since what he had said was as striking as lightning.
“How dare you!” Shui Yuan shouted. He had anger in his eyes.
“Wait,” the leader stopped him, since Jiang Chen obviously hadn’t finished.
“I’m not a person that only does things only for my own benefit. I’m not ungrateful.”
He took a deep breath and said, “I just don’t like Grand Elder Snowbrow’s attitude. She made me feel like I had to do it this way and had taken advantage of the Hero Palace.
“And as for the righteous cause, I have my own way to deal with these issues. I don’t want others to restrain me with these matters.
“Sometimes I might refuse to do things I actually want to do because of my position.
“For example, I planned to give the method to develop extraordinary meridians to the Hero Palace for free. The request I just made is due to my responsibility as a son.
“I’ll try my best to pay back a small favor, but I don’t want others to think I have no etiquette simply because I’m from a humble family.”
Snowbrow and the other elders responsible for Jiang Chen’s expenses with the Golden Dragon Card were extremely embarrassed.
“Thanks to the Sacred Institute and the Hero Palace, I’ve made much progress in less than six months. I’ll share the method to develop the eight extraordinary meridians with the Hero Palace, but the techniques of the three pieces of practice equipment are different. However, I’ll allow the Hero Palace to use the equipment for free.
“I went against the Sword Association because it was a necessary countermeasure for me to take as a man.”
When he had finished, the grand elders and the leader didn’t know how to respond.
Jiang Chen’s understanding of the situation was beyond their expectations.
“I’ll give the method of the extraordinary meridians to the Hero Palace. As long as I’m a member of the Hero Palace, you can use my equipment for free.
“This is how I’ll pay you back.”
After Jiang Chen had left, the leader and the grand elders glanced at each other silently.
After a good while, Shui Yuan exclaimed, “Jiang Chen is such a unique man.”
Even he had said so, which shocked the other grand elders.
“We’ve been too picky about the quota of ten million. It led to a misunderstanding, and we even insulted him. It was my fault,” Snowbrow exclaimed. She lowered her head in shame.
