Chapter 208
“Keep it up, then,” he said and went back to the palace wall.
The old man in the gray robe didn’t give it a second thought. He believed no one would refuse a chance to get into the Sacred Institute.
What a pity!
Everyone around was shaking their heads. All of them were gazing at the masked man, wondering what his expression was behind the mask.
What would they think if they knew his real intention?
Why?
Wen Xin was confused, too. When the old man in the gray robe had made him an offer, she was really happy for Jiang Chen, but she noticed him glance at the Third Prince and could roughly guess the answer.
“By the way, what’s his name? Jiang Chen? Yeah, that’s the name. Haven’t you rescued him yet?” Elder Holding Sword said again.
Then everyone understood. They recalled how in the Realm of Beasts Jiang Chen had killed one of their disciples who was in the Mental Wander State and cut off another’s right arm, when he was also in the Mental Wander State!
Elder Holding Sword of the Sword Sect of Returning to Oneness protected his school’s disciples no matter whether they had done something wrong or not. He wouldn’t allow such things to happen, but Jiang Chen was trapped there, so he could only vent his anger on the two elders of the Natural Law School.
“It’s the Natural Law School’s internal affair. I can’t tell you anything about it,” Yuan Hong answered unhappily, then he left the tower ship with Elder Technique Impartation.
To their surprise, Elder Holding Sword didn’t stop. He said again, “What a pity. Hasn’t that Jiang Chen inherited the doctrine of sword? He caused many problems in the Realm of Beasts. I really want to know what’s more powerful, his sword doctrine or the Sword Doctrine of Returning to Oneness.”
Those from the other schools were laughing into their sleeves. They found Elder Holding Sword extremely cruel. The Natural Law School was in a difficult situation this day, and then they were laughed at by the Sword Sect of Returning to Oneness and became a joke, even though they had congratulated Yi Shuihan with good intent.
Yuan Hong and Elder Technique Impartation went back to the pagoda, both of them with long faces. The leader of the Hall of Penal Law and the Medicine Elder asked them what had happened after they saw them like this.
“It’s all that Jiang Chen’s fault. I lost face because of him. Update the information when we go back. Jiang Chen is dead! This way, no one will ask me about him anymore!” Yuan Hong said with anger.
Elder Technique Impartation had never been humiliated like this before either, but unlike Yuan Hong, he didn’t vent his anger on a poor missing disciple like Jiang Chen.
“Well, well… calm down. That masked man is up again,” Elder Technique Impartation said.
The old man in the gray robe had shown up because of the masked man. Although things didn’t develop the way the old man had wanted, the masked man had still done a great job.
“If the current Natural Law School had a disciple like this masked man, we wouldn’t have been humiliated today!” Yuan Hong cursed.
