Chapter 64
Zheng Ping had to hold his temper. He gave Jiang Chen a vicious look and said, “Do you think you’re that great? Hopefully you won’t cry later.”
Then he left the Profound Theory Palace without doing anything.
Jiang Chen didn’t know what he meant, but he knew he shouldn’t be a sitting duck and had to figure out a solution quickly.
He exchanged a look with Wen Xin and left the palace without claiming any tasks.
As soon as he walked out of the palace, he walked into a group of people head on. They were wearing the uniform of senior disciples. What was special about them were the armbands they wore on their right arms. The armbands read LAW.
“They are from the Hall of Penal Law!” Wen Xin thought to herself and felt worried.
“Jiang Chen, you insulted your apprentice brother and picked a quarrel in the Profound Theory Palace. We are here to arrest you.”
When people heard the news, some were rejoicing this decision, some felt sympathy for him, and others said it served him right.
After all, it was him who had stopped Zheng Ping, who was about to leave, and slapped him. If he hadn’t done it, he wouldn’t have been punished.
“What does he think the Natural Law School is? How dare he act superior here?”
Hong Youjun heard someone gossiping while she was walking. She felt lucky that she had followed her father’s advice.
She was going to meet Wen Xin to advise her to stay out of trouble.
Wen Xin was worried at that moment. Ning Haotian was very influential in the Natural Law School. Her networking as a princess wouldn’t work here.
Even if Hong Youjun hadn’t come, she would be unable to do anything.
However, Wen Xin couldn’t accept Hong Youjun’s good intentions. She said, “When I walked into the Profound Theory Palace, I saw you and Jiang Chen act like strangers, and I was wondering what happened. Now I understand.”
“What can I do? Jiang Chen has offended such an important person,” Hong Youjun said.
“Let me ask you one thing. If Jiang Chen weren’t from the Hundred Thousand Mountains, but from a great force that was as powerful as the Black Dragon City, what would you do?” Wen Xin said.
Hong Youjun didn’t know how to answer her. She wondered what Wen Xin was alluding to.
“I investigated Jiang Chen a little after leaving the trial grounds. He was the chosen one, but his holy pulse was robbed since he didn’t have the right protection. Ning Haotian owes Jiang Chen a lot. However, he is suppressing Jiang Chen like this in the Natural Law School!” Wen Xin said with fury.
“But this is the reality,” Hong Youjun said.
“I believe in justice. I’ve showed you my viewpoint. If Ning Haotian wants to deal with me in the same way he suppresses Jiang Chen, bring it on!” Wen Xin said.
“Alas,” Hong Youjun let out a sigh. She knew her friend’s character, so she gave up the attempt to convince her, but she felt vaguely unhappy. Compared to Wen Xin’s attitude, she was behaving like a snob who followed the masses.
Suddenly, an idea occurred to her. She hoped someone would teach Wen Xin a good lesson.
Since that was the only way she could feel better.
After she left Wen Xin’s place, Hong Youjun received another piece of news, which made her even more resolute.
Meng Hao, who had been with Jiang Chen in the Profound Theory Palace, was accused of stealing and almost beaten to death.
“See? Wen Xin, if you were not the princess, you would also end up like this,” Hong Youjun thought to herself.
