Chapter 259
If Gao Tian’ai hadn’t been there, Jiang Chen thought the steward would drive him away, but he had achieved the goal of the day. What others thought wasn’t important.
He was happy enough with the information he had received. It was much less difficult to refine the antidote than he had thought. He was confident he would be able to accomplish it.
“Cousin, why don’t you come home with me?” Gao Tian’ai said to him after they had left the Sacred Wind Chamber of Commerce.
“All right.”
Jiang Chen thought about the letter in the mustardseed ring. He would have to go to the Gaos sooner or later, and this day was as perfect as any other day to do it.
Gao Tian’ai was pleasantly surprised. It seemed that she hadn’t expected Jiang Chen to accept her invitation so easily, but before heading for the Gaos, they ran into Ouyang Na outside of the chamber of commerce again.
“I was wondering which talented youngster you were. So you’re the worthless Reaching Heaven State.”
The people in the hall glanced at each other and talked with each other in low voices. It became noisy once again.
“Then you can’t see the master of the Gaos,” the middle-aged man said.
His answer quieted the others down again.
“What makes you say so?” Jiang Chen asked.
“You’re exactly the same as your father.”
The middle-aged man’s expression changed. He was apparently extremely angry, but holding his temper.
“Because I’m your uncle, the acting master of the Gaos. Because your mother was expelled from the Gaos long time ago. Is that enough?!” he shouted coldly.
He gave off a powerful energy immediately. The energy marched towards Jiang Chen like a soldier.
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows. To confront it, he gave off an energy of killing intent, which seemed to come from heck, and he wasn’t at a disadvantage at all.
“Enough.”
Jiang Chen kept his cool. He took the letter back and walked to the door with Whitty.
“Stop!” the middle-aged man shouted.
“Anything else?” Jiang Chen turned around to ask him.
The middle-aged man took a deep breath. He wouldn’t let Jiang Chen see the master of the Gaos, but he didn’t want Jiang Chen to leave like this, either.
“Gao Ke, he is Gao Yue’s son. His request is reasonable,” a man sitting on the right said.
Without waiting for the middle-aged man’s answer, the aristocratic woman who had shown disgust at Whitty said unhappily, “The master of the Gaos removed Gao Yue from the genealogy book in person. She isn’t a member of the Gaos anymore. By the way, your daughter brought this guy here. What is she up to?!”
That man didn’t answer. He looked towards Gao Tian’ai. She lowered her head.
Jiang Chen realized these people wouldn’t welcome him like Gao Tian’ai did, and he wasn’t surprised.
“The master of the Gaos doesn’t know anything about him yet.”
Gao Ke looked at Jiang Chen coldly. His look was complicated.
“You don’t have the blood of phoenix in your body, but the blood of phoenix in your mother’s body was the purest in the Gaos for the past hundred years! Both you and your father should die!” said Gao Ke.
He seemed to care more than the other members of the Gaos.
“You have the holy pulse. That could have made up for your blood, but you are so foolish that you achieved the Reaching Heaven State without developing your holy pulse first!”
“Where did you get the pride to make you think you can see the master of the Gaos today?!”
Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders when he heard these words. He said, “I don’t have any pride. It’s you who think I should be humble. I’m beyond your expectations. That’s all. If you stopped me only to tell me these things, I don’t want to waste any more of my time.”
