Chapter 261
Jiang Chen walked out of the gate of the Gao Mansion, and then Gao Tian’ai chased him.
“Cousin, that wasn’t what I was expecting. I’m really sorry.”
Jiang Chen had thought that maybe she had played a prank on him, but judging from her expression, it didn’t look like it. He said, “So what were you expecting when you invited me here?”
“Grandpa.”
Gao Tian’ai started to cry. From her eyes, a stream of tears fell like a broken necklace of pearls. She said, “Grandpa’s health is failing. I know he’s always been repentant…”
“Tian’ai!”
The man who had spoken for Jiang Chen appeared at the gate. He shouted sternly at his daughter.
“What did he say?” Yi Qing came up to Crimson Moon and asked due to curiosity.
“Bullsh*t. A lot of bullsh*t.” Crimson Moon didn’t bother to talk about it.
Jiang Chen had broken through to the Reaching Heaven State, so naturally, his opponents would be Reaching Heaven States, too.
He hadn’t developed any of his extraordinary meridians. How would he be able to confront the disciples of the Sacred Institute?
Yet he kept putting on airs, as if he were the only clear-minded person in the world. Crimson Moon was fed up with his way of acting, so she really hoped someone would give him a beating in the great competition to wake him up.
However, in the bottom of her heart, she felt a twinge.
Jiang Chen had surprised the world many times with his confidence. Would the same thing happen this time?
“No. It’s impossible! He didn’t develop his extraordinary meridians. That’s his weakness. He went against the rule countless ancestors proved to be true. This time, there won’t be any miracle,” Crimson Moon thought to herself.
“I’m really curious what those people will think if they see my extraordinary meridians develop after I achieved the Reaching Heaven State,” Jiang Chen was thinking on his way back, beaming. The disciples that passed by him didn’t understand why he was so happy.
Suddenly, he heard Whitty’s voice. He smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I’m sure I’ll win. By the way, have you memorized what I taught you?”
“He’s crazy.”
The disciples of the Sacred Institute pretended that they were passing by him, but in fact they were eavesdropping on him. They were surprised to see him talking with a mount.
But then they found it normal when they recalled what had happened to him.
“He must have realized what he missed and he can’t handle that blow!”
“What a pity. I’m sorry for him.”
“Chickens come home to roost. If he weren’t so arrogant, things would be different now.”
The news regarding Jiang Chen’s madness spread throughout the four courtyards like the wind. Many people were discussing it.
At the same time, the great competition of the four courtyards was getting closer and closer.
The Sacred Institute would hold such competitions every few months to motivate their disciples. This time, with the reward of access to the Time Palace, all the disciples were trying their best to show their skill on the day of the competition.
