Chapter 274
Nan Gong walked out of the palace at that moment. He was carrying two things in his hands, a token and an outfit.
“Jiang Chen, the token is very important. All of your information is stored there. You’ll need it when you leave the Time Palace,” said Nan Gong.
“Understood.”
Jiang Chen took it. The small token was heavier than he had thought, made of hard darksteel. It appeared to be an average object, but it had many secrets.
“Wushuang will show you around the Hero Palace. You two will enter the Time Palace together,” said Nan Gong again.
Ying Wushuang hadn’t taken part in the competition. The opportunity to enter the Time Palace was compensation for her being the subject of Jiang Chen’s experiment.
“Jiang Chen, your primary goal is still to develop your own extraordinary meridians. It will do you a lot of good. As for the problem, it’s secondary. Don’t put the cart before the horses and get stuck. You should take advantage of your youth,” Nan Gong added.
“As your apprentice siblings, why isn’t it our business? This guy appeared out of nowhere. What if he’s a spy from the Evil Cloud Palace?”
“Right.”
They had intended to pick a fight. It was even less possible for them to let go of the two after Ying Wushuang had replied like that.
“Guys, I’m new here. Ying Wushuang is showing me around the Hero Palace,” Jiang Chen said and took out his token.
“Yeah?”
Jiang Chen’s explanation relieved the tension charged in the air. They glanced at Jiang Chen’s token, then glanced at Jiang Chen.
“Weird. You still have several months to graduate.”
“I’ve never seen his face among this year’s newbies.”
“Hey, tell us who you are!”
They shifted their focus from Ying Wushuang to Jiang Chen, and they were being even ruder.
Jiang Chen looked gentle and cultivated at that moment, smiling. He had even explained himself. All this had done was invite trouble.
His smile didn’t fade even after he had heard their yelling, but what he said was unexpected by them.
“Do you want to die?”
“What?”
He said it with a smile on his face, and those people didn’t come to themselves for a moment. Neither did Ying Wushuang.
“I’ll satisfy you if you want to die. If you don’t, just go away!”
Jiang Chen went back to the center of the road. He was grasping his knife handle in his right hand. His look was sharp, staring at the people before him.
What Nan Gong would think if he saw this scene?
They finally came to themselves after a few seconds of silence. They were irritated when they realized Jiang Chen was provoking them.
They wouldn’t allow a newbie to yell at them.
He had even threatened the Knife Dragon Association!
Spiritual knives immediately appeared in their hands.
The rules of the Hero Palace weren’t as strict as those of the Sacred Institute. They wouldn’t mind teaching Jiang Chen how to respect his apprentice siblings and be humble.
“So you’re asking for death,” Jiang Chen smiled slightly.
“Are you really going to pick a fight?!”
Ying Wushuang flew into a rage. She was even more terrifying than Jiang Chen and those people.
To Jiang Chen’s surprise, those people, who were about to launch an attack, glanced at each other and drew their knives back.
“Wushuang, looks you’ve forgotten the lesson you received. You’ll remember it soon,” they trash-talked and turned around to leave.
