Chapter 62
The Natural Law School was located in the southern part of the Province of Widepool, among the mountains.
As one of the top ten sects in the Fire Field, the school didn’t only own some buildings at the foot of the mountain. Instead, they had a whole city built in the mountains.
They had removed the mountains that were in their way. They changed the landform so that rivers would pass by all parts of the school.
If one saw the city from an airship, they would be shocked by the wonders they saw.
There were palaces everywhere in the mountains, and the mountains were connected with each other. There was greenery on the peaks. Hundred-year-old trees towered into the clouds. Great waterfalls poured down like majestic silver dragons.
If it was foggy, some of the buildings in the mountains were hidden and others were visible, like a view of heaven.
Jiang Chen and Meng Hao were also shocked by this view when they arrived there.
Suddenly, he saw Hong Youjun in the palace. She was wearing the disciples’ uniform and looked stunning.
Jiang Chen was about to greet her, but to his surprise, she looked to the ground embarrassedly when she found Jiang Chen had seen her. She hurried to walk in another direction.
Jiang Chen was confused. He recalled he had invited Hong Youjun to come to the Natural Law School with him when he had stayed in the Hong Mansion, but she had refused with the excuse that she had some affairs to deal with.
At that moment he sensed she was keeping him at bay intentionally.
Hong Youjun was struggling. Her father had told her not to interact with Jiang Chen at the Natural Law School.
She didn’t understand why at that moment, since Jiang Chen was their guest.
“It’s not that we are being ungrateful. Jiang Chen has shown great kindness to us. We will pay him back in the future. But I don’t want you to get into trouble. He killed Ning Ping and his father is imprisoned in the Black Dragon Pool. The Nings will take their revenge for sure. If you are with him, I’m afraid you’ll be implicated in the trouble.”
Hong Youjun didn’t believe her father at the beginning, but after she arrived there, she had to admit what her father had said was reasonable.
In the Natural Law School, not only she, but everyone else, was avoiding Jiang Chen.
Ning Haotian was a key disciple of the Natural Law School at that time. There was a strong possibility that he would succeed as the school’s next leader.
By then, he had the endorsement of more than half of the elders.
Of course, a school wasn’t a family. Even though Jiang Chen and Ning Haotian were against each other, the remarkable way that they could not get along was rare.
However, the hatred between them was absolutely irreconcilable.
The holy pulse in Ning Haotian’s body had been owned by Jiang Chen once. Nothing good would happen if they saw each other.
The elders regarded Jiang Chen as a thorn in their side, since he had blackened Ning Haotian’s name.
As a result, the disciples would certainly avoid interacting with him.
Jiang Chen noticed that the disciples in the palace were gossiping about him behind his back. He felt uncomfortable with the way they looked at him.
