Chapter 7
Chapter 7–Pay me for this casket!
Crowds were gathered outside of the Mayor’s mansion, standing in front of the mansion’s front door.Jiang Zhen Hai and Jiang Chen saw the long parade marching towards them, a cruel smile appeared on both their faces in response.
“You see this, dad?By bringing such a long parade for a simple wedding, Mu Rong Zhan not only wants to turn us into a laughing stock, he also wants to press us down.”
Jiang Chen said.
“Hmph!Let us see who will become the laughing stock later.”
Jiang Zhen Hai replied.
“Haha, brother Jiang, I’ve come to fetch the bridegroom.Has he prepared himself?”
Mu Rong Zhan said with a loud voice, shouting even louder when he mentioned‘fetch the bridegroom.’
And, why did the eldest young master suddenly die?Was it because he didn’t want to marry Miss Mu Rong?
But, none of this mattered anymore.In fact, the young master was the only one the Mayor cared about.
‘Too shameless!Too despicable!Too talented!’
The young master of Jiang’s family had sent Mu Rong’s family reputation down the drain.The once long parade of Mu Rong’s family had now become the laughing stock of Fragrant Sky city.
“Good, very good, Jiang Zhen Hai, you and your son just wait.It won’t be long before your family is unable to stay in this city.Let’s go.”
Mu Rong Zhan was extremely angry at the moment.He was a wise man, but today a young man had embarrassed him in public.This was not only about his reputation, but he was also insulted in broad daylight.
Kicking the horse, he left in a hurry.Mu Rong Zhan didn’t want to stay here anymore, and he was too embarrassed to stay together with the parade.
“Hmph!Jiang Chen, a true hero would never use such despicable methods.If you dare to fight alone, I, Mu Rong Ying, will beat you until your dad can’t recognize you anymore!”
A young man said as he got down from his horse, pointing his finger towards Jiang Chen.Mu Rong Ying was a talented young man from the Mu Rong family, and although Mu Rong Zhan just left, he didn’t want to let them go so easily.They had nothing to lose now, so if he could fight Jiang Chen and win, they will at least gain some honor back by showing them that the geniuses in Mu Rong’s family were much better than this fool in Jiang’s family.
“That’s right, Jiang Chen.Do you dare to accept the challenge?”
Shouted another young man from Mu Rong’s family with a sneer on his face.Jiang Chen was a useless fool, and everyone knew of this fact.Although he made the Mu Rong family publicly embarrassed with his despicable methods, they were confident that anyone from the Mu Rong family could easily beat him.
“You want to fight me?I will gladly accept your offer, but I will not fight for nothing.We need to have something to wager upon.”
A small smile appeared on Jiang Chen’s face.Even Jiang Zhen Hai, who stood next to him, started laughing.No one knew about Jiang Chen’s real skills better than himself.A 9th level Qi Jing master like Jiang Ru Long was no match for Jiang Chen, and this Mu Rong Yin was only at the 8th level Qi Jing.He had no chance of winning.
“Alright, what do you want to bet on?”
Mu Rong Ying was thrilled upon finding out that Jiang Chen was willing to accept the challenge.
“We will bet with this casket.If I lose, then I will hang this coffin on the mayor’s mansion front door for three days.If you lose, then I want you to carry this casket back with the sedan chair you brought here.If you can’t do this, then all of you from the Mu Rong family are bastards.”
Jiang Chen spoke loudly on purpose.Jiang Zhen Hai gave a thumb up secretly.Jiang Chen was really cruel by doing this.There were so many people here so Mu Rong Ying couldn’t refuse to fulfill the bet.If they really do carry the casket back with the sedan chair, however, then they would definitely become the biggest laughing stock in town.On the other hand, if they refuse to do so, then they would admit to being bastards.No matter the result, they would only be insulted further.
Jiang Zhen Hai didn’t think that Jiang Chen had done anything bad.Since both families were enemies, they didn’t need to be generous.
“Alright, it’s a deal.”
Mu Rong Ying answered without any hesitation.He didn’t even listen clearly to what the bet was about.In his mind, fighting Jiang Chen was like stomping an ant, so it didn’t matter what the bet was.
“Brother Ying, the bet seems a bit too big, shouldn’t we reconsider this?”
A young man came forward and whispered to Mu Rong Ying.
“Don’t worry, this fool is just at the 1st level Qi Jing realm, fighting him is like beating a dead dog.Just wait and witness how he will hang the casket in front of the Mayor’s mansion.”
Mu Rong Ying didn’t even consider Jiang Chen to be a serious opponent.
Looking at this event unfold, the crowd started becoming noisy yet again.They thought that after Mu Rong Zhan left, things would quiet down.But now, the young men from both families started fighting, and their bet was the reputation of their families.Both parties looked confident, but people paid the most attention to Jiang Chen, wondering how this useless fool was going to fight against Mu Rong Ying who was an 8th level Qi Jing master!
