Chapter 282
“Leader, no matter the reason, Jiang Chen shouldn’t have killed Zhao Yajun! It’s unforgivable.” Shui Yuan spoke again.
“Watch this first.”
A video followed the leader’s voice and appeared in the air.
It was another recording of what had happened before the attack. Zhao Yajun and the other five were in armor, on their way to hunt Whitty.
“I heard Jiang Chen values his mount a lot. I’m sure he’ll take revenge against us.”
“Would he dare?”
“People could do anything they’ll regret if they lose control.”
“He’s your mount. You should be able to sense his status,” said Nan Gong.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was too angry to think. How could I even forget that?!”
Sometimes, if one cared too much about someone else, they would become a mess. Jiang Chen had almost forgotten Whitty’s soul and his had merged together so they could sense each other’s existence.
But when he had calmed down, the only thing he could be sure of was that Whitty wasn’t dead, but he didn’t know where he was.
Jiang Chen relaxed for the moment. He was waiting in his room for his punishment.
Suddenly, he gave a relieved smile.
He always knew Whitty had hidden blood, and he had been considering how to awaken it. He hadn’t expected it to be awoken this way.
For Whitty, of course it was a great thing if he didn’t die because of it.
Soon, Ying Wushuang brought him the decision of the Hero Palace.
Before telling Jiang Chen about it, she said at the door, “Everything would’ve been fine if you hadn’t killed him.”
“You want to know if I regret it?” Jiang Chen frowned and said.
“Yes. Whitty was targeted because of the conflict between you and Murong Xing. If you hadn’t hurt Murong Xing, none of these things would have happened.”
Jiang Chen, who was in a bad mood, sneered.
“Let me ask you one thing. If I weren’t a short-term disciple from the Fire Field, but a young master from the most powerful group, what would you think about what I did?”
In that case…
Ying Wushuang thought for a while and understood what he was implying.
“It looks you have your answer. Don’t you find it absurd?
“I did the right thing, but people think I’m foolish just because of the bad result incurred by the right thing.
“What are those who accuse the weak and the bullied practicing for? They’d be better off going back home to be businessmen!”
After he finished speaking, Jiang Chen slapped the door.
He was too worried about Whitty to deal with Ying Wushuang.
Ying Wushuang froze there, staring at the wooden door in front of her, which occupied her entire line of sight.
A few seconds later, anger emerged on her face.
Besides telling Jiang Chen the punishment, she had gone there to warn him that he shouldn’t look for more trouble.
That afternoon, Jiang Chen learned of the punishment from other sources.
He had killed someone from the Hero Palace, so he had to kill one man from the Evil Cloud Palace to offset their loss.
It had to be someone on the Slay Demon List.
It was more a requirement than a punishment.
The real punishment would come if he failed to satisfy the requirement; he would be expelled from the Hero Palace!
He had half a year to complete the task.
This punishment wasn’t very severe, since nothing would happen to Jiang Chen in the short term, but it wasn’t light, either. If he was expelled from the Hero Palace, things wouldn’t end when he went back to the Dragon Field.
Five men had been killed by Whitty, and Zhao Yajun had died under Jiang Chen’s sword.
Their families wouldn’t let Jiang Chen go, and he didn’t have any backup.
