Chapter 1493 - Insincerity
Jiang Chen looked at the woman in silence until her mood recovered, and she sat back once again in her former place.
“Miss Xuan Qing, have you ever heard about the saying, having an intimate talk with a stranger? We got acquainted less than an hour ago. Yet, you have entrusted me with everything.”
“Moreover, how can you be sure that I wasn’t also someone who was arranged in your life?”
When Xuan Qing heard these words, she was taken aback. Such a reaction proved that everything she had said was true. She hadn’t mixed any lies among her claims.
“It’s because I listened to what you said a while ago about being free to say what you wanted. The people who had come here with a purpose wouldn’t say that,” Xuan Qing said earnestly.
“It was just because of this?” Jiang Chen stared at her attentively so that he wouldn’t miss any details.
“That’s right, I trust my own intuition,” Xuan Qing nodded and stated this emphatically.
Jiang Chen left then the courtyard and went back to his residence.
At night, Jiang Chen tossed around restlessly, and he couldn’t calm down. His reason was dissuading him against doing anything that would make trouble for him. A great conspiracy was surely hidden behind this as it involved the Empyrean Goddess’s descendants.
When the time came, Jiang Chen wouldn’t even know how he ended up dead.
The reason why Jiang Chen was hesitating over this wasn’t that he coveted her beauty and it also wasn’t because he found her pitiful, as even if he sympathized with her, he wouldn’t go out of his way to help her.
There were many pitiful people in the world. So how could he help them all?”
Jiang Chen just felt that she didn’t deserve such treatment.
The Empyrean Goddess was the Xuanhuan Realm’s last divine king, and she had put an end to the Demon Clan’s riot, while she had still left behind peerless magical techniques, before she broke through the void and traveled to other worlds.
In his previous life, the creature Jiang Chen wanted to see the most was a dragon, while the person he respected the most was the Empyrean Goddess.
At that time, he broke the great formation spell left behind by the Empyrean Goddess, and he was subdued by her great attainments in that field. It must be known that while Jiang Chen engrossed himself fully in formations’ fields, the Empyrean Goddess had to train hard to get such shocking power, and formations weren’t her strong point
Who would have imagined that the Empyrean Goddess’s descendants would suffer such a bitter fate?
Many experts coveted them because they might have a Heavenly Bestowal Woman among them, and they set up many flawless ploys because they didn’t dare to use force.
Even if Xuan Qing announced all this to the public, no one would believe her because everything was only Xuan Qing’s assumptions, and one couldn’t rule out the possibility that she was suffering from a delusional disorder.
“Empyrean Goddess.”
Jiang Chen gradually calmed down because he had already come up with an answer. He decided to help Xuan Qing for the Empyrean Goddess who had made such great contributions to the Xuanhuan Realm.
However, Jiang Chen still wouldn’t make an all-out effort, and he wouldn’t sacrifice his life to help her. He would only do what was possible for her, and, if he ran into something he couldn’t deal with, he would give up.
After four days, it was finally the Mysterious Gate’s opening day.
The plaza where the Mysterious Gate was located was filled with people, and the Demon Slayer Palace disciples were keeping order.
The core disciple Xuan Qing was among them. She was anxious and wasn’t as composed as on the previous days. Worry was apparent on her face, and anyone who saw her would feel pity for her.
It was fortunate that Jiang Chen was always on time. He came early to the plaza and walked toward Xuan Qing.
Some people noticed where Jiang Chen was walking, and their gazes became filled with surprise. Everyone was aware that Miss Xuan Qing was like a fairy above mortals, and she would rarely pay attention to people of unknown origins. Wasn’t Jiang Chen just inviting trouble upon himself?
“What do you want to do? You should distance yourself from Miss Xuan Qing,” Prince Feng Yu emerged suddenly and obstructed Jiang Chen’s path with a provocative look plastered on his face.
