Chapter 227
His words allowed the others too see his position. Otherwise, they might have thought he was being smug, since he had gotten the spot.
Jiang Chen went on, “Don’t you agree, Your Excellency?”
The prime minister was surprised, since he had always been ignored by Jiang Chen. He nodded subconsciously, “Yes, exactly.”
He didn’t realize how smart Jiang Chen was until he finished his words. He smiled bitterly and helplessly at the youngster’s smart trick.
“So, let’s continue the remaining fights,” the Venerable of the Sacred Institute said.
Jiang Chen returned to the pagoda of the Natural Law School with his clansmen, while the others in the top twelve started their fights.
Gao Xiong, his subordinates, and the three rogues were beheaded in the square right away.
“Thank you very much. Apprentice brother, what’s your name?”
“Meng Hao.”
“You must be close to Apprentice Brother Jiang Chen too, aren’t you? Since you call him by his name directly…”
“Yeah, kind of.”
Meng Hao scratched his head. He noticed that the short-haired female disciple became more excited after she heard his answer. She was making flirtatious eyes at him.
Meng Hao was scared by her. He hurried to go upstairs to inform Jiang Chen. At the same time, he was thinking, “No wonder so many people want to know famous people. It feels good.”
He recalled how he had met Jiang Chen and thought himself lucky.
Shui Sheng was waiting anxiously. She wouldn’t blame Jiang Chen if he didn’t think it convenient to meet her for the moment. She was only afraid that her apprentice sisters would be disappointed.
Suddenly, she saw a figure coming from the staircase. The figure came up to her in a second.
“Whitty, you look so different now!”
Shui Sheng looked at Whitty in surprise. She had noticed the tiger seemed familiar when he was protecting Jiang Chen, but she hadn’t expected him to be the monster she knew.
Whitty was glad to see her. He let her climb onto his back and flew up to the top floor of the pagoda immediately. The other female disciples of the Exquisite Sect were bewildered.
“They really are close.”
They completely believed it. Whitty was Jiang Chen’s mount. Many people had seen it.
Whitty had been friendly to Shui Sheng and had taken her upstairs, so they must have been good friends.
They felt envy and jealousy along with the surprise.
On the top floor, Shui Sheng said joyfully, “Apprentice Brother Jiang Chen, I know you’ll be fine. I wanted to cheer for you when I came here today. And Apprentice Sister Zhi Ruo called me a fool, but she was totally stunned when she saw you. And hers was the face of a real fool. It was really funny.”
While Jiang Chen and Shui Sheng were catching up, the result of Yi Shuihan and Lu Fei’s fight came out.
Lu Fei had won. The knife master had defeated the swordsman.
However, although Lu Fei had achieved his goal, he didn’t dare say the motto he had prepared to say, that knives were real power, because in his heart, he knew there was a formidable swordsman beyond compare.
