Chapter 148
“The Transdragon Pool? What happened in the Transdragon Pool?”
Jiang Chen was lost, having no idea what she was referring to.
“Nothing.”
Li Xue’er observed him carefully. There was no panic on his face, and she wasn’t actually so sure of his intentions, so she gave up on figuring out what had actually happened. This way, people who weren’t involved would never hear of it.
Thank goodness.
Jiang Chen wasn’t as calm as he looked. He immediately changed the topic and said, “Apprentice sister, the Realm of Beasts doesn’t belong to anyone. This lake isn’t yours, either. It’s normal that I’m here, especially without knowing you were here, too.”
Li Xue’er didn’t answer him right away, still silent. The universe seemed hidden in her deep look. Under such a gaze, Jiang Chen felt like she would see through his soul.
“What on earth are you trying to say?” One guy became impatient.
“That’s interesting. The lake doesn’t belong to anyone. I flew here and didn’t see any sign that warned me there was someone bathing. I was covered in monsters’ blood and landed to clean myself. I ran into that girl by accident, and you call that nasty and dirty?” Jiang Chen said coldly.
“How persuasive you are! If you weren’t peeping, why did you run away?” the youngster who had tried to attack him asked coldly.
“Then what should I have done? I shouldn’t have avoided suspicion and should have walked up to her to explain what I just told you while she was still naked? You tried to kill me without inquiry. I would like to ask for your explanation for that!”
Jiang Chen looked at the youngster, feeling angry inside.
“Yeah, that’s right! There was a youngster by the lake when I landed. I tried to talk to him, but he just ran away. Don’t you think that’s weird? If he had told me there was someone bathing in the lake, I would’ve left right away,” Jiang Chen went on.
“Yeah?”
These people had unreadable expressions when they heard him.
They had agreed to take baths in turns. While the girls were bathing, the guys were waiting at the mountainside, but Jiang Chen had claimed there was a man by the lake. His meaning was quite clear.
“Who was this guy?” Li Xue’er asked.
Jiang Chen glanced at them and laid his eyes on a shifty-eyed man. That was exactly the same guy he had seen.
“He’s the guy.”
They looked where Jiang Chen was pointing and saw who it was, then looked conflicted.
“Nonsense! That’s my brother. He wouldn’t have done something like that!” the youngster who had intended to kill Jiang Chen shouted.
“Oh,” Jiang Chen drawled. He said sarcastically, “Someone tried to kill me without question. It turns out he was trying to kill the witness!”
“You—” The youngster flew into a rage. He was clenching his fist.
“What?”
Jiang Chen interrupted him directly and said, “Accept the fact that you didn’t succeed in killing me. Let me tell you one thing. You tried to kill me for your brother’s sake, and I’ll kill your brother in your name whenever I get the chance!”
His brother was still in the Gathering Yuan State.
Jiang Chen was powerful enough to fulfill his threat.
“Do you know who I am?” the youngster said.
“Are you trying to threaten me? You should line up for that. There are many people ahead of you.” Jiang Chen didn’t give a sh*t about it. Anyway, Li Xue’er was standing beside him.
“Enough!”
At this moment, the short-haired girl walked up to Jiang Chen and said, “No matter whether you did it intentionally or not, you did see Meng Qian, didn’t you?”
“Yes.” Jiang Chen didn’t deny it.
“So you defamed her. Claw out your eyes yourself,” she said in an indifferent tone.
