Chapter 70
Then came a scream. Liu Song fell reluctantly. He had made his subordinates pay the price before he died, one dead and one injured.
The atmosphere was charged with tension when the throng saw Liu Song was dead.
“Bring me the cane!” However, Jiang Chen didn’t want to let Zheng Ping go. He asked for the cane of the Hall of Penal Law.
It was called the snake cane, since it looked like a snake in one’s hand. In fact, it was made from snakeskin and had been soaked in a special liquid medicine. It was hard to even hold the cane.
Zheng Ping turned pale and shouted angrily, “Jiang Chen, are you going to carry out the caning sentence here?!”
There were so many people watching. If he was caned here, he would feel too humiliated to stay in the school.
Jiang Chen sneered. Ding Bai was also standing in silence. Of course, it was no problem for Mo Xu.
“Not at all.” Wen Xin waved her hand. She didn’t think she had done anything great. Then she glanced at Jiang Chen and said incredulously, “You didn’t regard me as a friend before?”
“Eh…” Jiang Chen scratched his head as though he didn’t know how to respond.
At that moment, Mo Xu coughed to attract Jiang Chen’s attention.
Jiang Chen nodded at Wen Xin and followed Mo Xu to the garden.
“Thank you for your help today, Elder Mo!” Jiang Chen said.
“You are welcome. The Hall of Penal Law went too far. They do need to be punished.”
Mo Xu smiled and said, “My young friend, are you satisfied with the result?”
Jiang Chen nodded. His anger had been completely erased.
Mo Xu rubbed his hands together and was ready to talk frankly.
“Elder, you’ve helped me a lot. I am so grateful to you. I saw you were troubled by the tactical formation. I would like to help you resolve the problem!”
“Great. Great!”
Mo Xu was glad to see he knew so well the ways of the world. He didn’t even need to persuade Jiang Chen.
“Jiang Chen, how much do you know about tactical formations?”
Since he had agreed, next Mo Xu needed to know his level.
Jiang Chen hesitated, since he didn’t know how to define his level.
What did the people of the Sacred Zone call him? The first tactical formation master of the Sacred Zone?
Of course, he wouldn’t tell Mo Xu this title. In the end he said humbly, “I’m very skilled.”
“…” Mo Xu looked at Jiang Chen, trying to figure out what he meant.
“He must be confident enough to resolve the problem of the great formation of the mountain protection, but too shy to tell me,” Mo Xu thought to himself.
In this regard, Mo Xu was right.
“But, Elder Mo, is the great formation of the mountain protection crucial?” Jiang Chen smiled.
“Sure,” Mo Xu answered immediately.
“If I fix it, will that be a great contribution?”
“Certainly.”
“Is it worth a million contributions?” Jiang Chen asked.
The other elders must have been surprised by him, but Mo Xu thought for a while and said, “Of course it’s worth that.”
Jiang Chen smiled with satisfaction.
Three days later, Jiang Chen was promoted to senior disciple. The news shocked the whole Natural Law School.
Jiang Chen was promoted to senior after only two weeks of junior life. He must have had a great deal of money.
But, this possibility could be ruled out.
Jiang Chen was from the Hundred Thousand Mountains. He definitely didn’t have a million rose gold coins.
No one knew the real reason. People only knew it was Elder Mo Xu who promoted him, so some thought he could be Elder Mo’s illegitimate son.
If he wasn’t, why would Elder Mo take care of Jiang Chen like this?
