Chapter 202
All these controversies would be answered in the next fight.
If Jiang Chen’s performance wasn’t good enough when facing his new opponents, he wouldn’t be recognized by Wind Mark’s followers, even though he won fairly.
That was how the human mind worked. People tend to think the things they’ve spent money on have excellent quality and a reasonable price so they feel like they made a good decision.
It was the same when it came to fans and admirers, especially certain obsessed women. They wished they could spit on Jiang Chen as they gazed at Wind Mark.
Once Jiang Chen lost to a rival comparable to Wind Mark, they might curse at him, too.
Eh?
Wen Xin was in the crowd. She raised her eyebrows when she saw Chu Luo defending the masked man and started ponder on it.
When the Redcloud Peak was first established, there had only been Jiang Chen, Meng Hao, and her.
Meng Hao was Jiang Chen’s servant.
Endless gossip circulated about the relationship between Jiang Chen and Wen Xin.
After Wen Xin achieved the Mental Wander State, some jealous people defamed her by claiming she had an unusual relationship with Jiang Chen.
“Tianlan, you’re great.”
Due to Hong Youjun, Win Xin had suffered a complete defeat in this argument.
Tianlan grinned and said, “You were so sure of yourself. You didn’t weigh the profits and the risks. Are you happy now? As a disciple of the Natural Law School, you aren’t even qualified for a seat in the pagoda.”
She dramatically shook her head, “Alas, Youjun. Let’s get some food and go up there.”
The two then looked past Wen Xin and walked by her.
Wen Xin was exhausted, as if all her strength had been drained. She wasn’t in the mood to look for the two female disciples from the Isle of Sky anymore. She just stood there, as stiff as a corpse.
At the same time, Yun Xiao and Liu Peng were sweating heavily on the sailing ship, because Princess Fragrance said, “Anyway, he could get onto the top fifty on the Eternal Flame List, couldn’t he?”
Yun Xiao thought on his feet and said, “Princess, admittedly, I’m not a match for him. I acknowledge it, but as the people below said, this guy is too shrewd and calculating. He still doesn’t want to show his face. Imagine that.”
“Or maybe what that girl said was true. He only partially showed his strength?” Princess Fragrance glanced at Chu Luo and said.
“That’s impossible! His last attack is exactly why he was holding back his strength, to put his rivals off guard. Think about it, Princess. Wind Mark’s loss was due to the explosion. He wouldn’t have lost if the ring were a limitless space,” Liu Peng said immediately. He was quick-minded, too.
They were trying so hard to defame Jiang Chen because a team of soldiers had shown up on the deck. They were standing there silently and majestically.
Princess Fragrance suddenly said, “Liu Peng, where is the genius ranked in the top fifty of the Eternal Flame List you said you would introduce me to?”
“Ah… Hmm… I haven’t seen him yet. Maybe he didn’t come at all,” Liu Peng stuttered, totally panicked.
“Yeah? What’s his name? How could he miss such a grand event?” Princess Fragrance sneered.
Liu Peng instantly sensed the pressure from the soldiers.
Fortunately, by then the crowd below had erupted into cheers, because Jiang Chen’s break was over, and the new opponent had been decided.
The new rival’s strength would prove whether Chu Luo was telling the truth!
“It’s her!”
Princess Fragrance stopped paying attention to Liu Peng and looked down with a surprised look on her face. Liu Peng was seriously relieved.
