Chapter 446 - Where Is the Carriage Going?

Merely by glancing at that person in the crowd, Chen Changsheng's eyes grew somewhat sore. Only after the wind blew past and the curtain's descent cut off his line of sight did he no longer feel so uncomfortable.

It was a very powerful sword intent. In these past few months, Chen Changsheng had encountered many experts. In the Garden of Zhou, he had joined hearts with ten thousand swords, and then he had joined together with Su Li on the journey south. His sense for the keenness of sword intent had long surpassed that of the average person. He could sense that although this person’s sword intent did not match up to that of a powerful figure in the Divine Domain like Zhu Luo, it was still extremely frightening. Even more frightening was that this person's sword intent also contained a killing intent. That killing intent was not concealed at all and was targeted at him.

”Who is that?” he asked.

Tang Thirty-Six had noticed his strange appearance just a few moments ago. Lifting a corner of the curtain and looking over, he very naturally discovered the figure of that man. His expression immediately grew very solemn as he declared, ”He is Guan Bai.”

Chen Changsheng had heard this name before. After a moment's silence, he asked, ”Is it that Guan Bai from the Heavenly Dao Academy?”

”Correct.” Tang Thirty-Six lowered the curtain and turned his head to Chen Changsheng. ”After completing his education at the Heavenly Dao Academy, he has always been out traveling. I didn't think that he would return to the capital all of a sudden. You should be keenly aware why he returned.”

Chen Changsheng asked, ”He had a good relationship with Zhuang Huanyu?”

Tang Thirty-Six replied, ”Zhuang Huanyu was not willing to receive his own father's support. After entering the capital, Principal Zhuang entrusted him to Guan Bai's care for a year. The two could be considered brothers.”

Chen Changsheng was speechless. At present, everyone believed that he had forced Zhuang Huanyu to death. If Guan Bai really did regard Zhuang Huanyu as his own brother, then it was only a matter of course that he would come to take vengeance.

”He probably won't use the Ivy All-School Martial Exhibition's name to challenge you.” Tang Thirty-Six saw the expression on his face and added, ”After all, he's an expert of the Proclamation of Liberation. He won't be as shameless as Zhou Ziheng.”

Chen Changsheng asked, ”Then what method do you think he will use?”

Tang Thirty-Six answered, ”If my calculations are not wrong, he will give you one year of time.”

Chen Changsheng did not understand the meaning of these words.

Tang Thirty-Six explained, ”Next year there will be a Boiling Stone Summit. At that time, he will take the stage and kill you. His Holiness will be powerless. Even if an explanation is demanded after the fact, at most, he will only have to return his life to the Li Palace.”

Chen Changsheng didn't know what to say. The sword intent that he had previously sensed already told him that Tang Thirty-Six's conjecture was most likely correct.

Tang Thirty-Six empathized with him. For an expert of the Proclamation of Liberation to vow to take one's life at the cost of even his own, anyone would be extremely miserable. Moreover, this sort of situation would persist for a year.

It was impossible for him to imagine just how he could possibly endure this one year if this matter concerned him instead.

But it was beyond his imagination that Chen Changsheng was already extremely experienced with bearing this sort of pressure, with confronting this sort of shadow. Thus, it only took a few moments for his expression to return to normal.

Tang Thirty-Six was rather taken aback at this change of expression. He was afraid that Chen Changsheng was pretending to be calm, so he decided to change the subject.

”Let's not talk about it anymore.” He asked Chen Changsheng in a serious tone, ”You said to Zhou Ziheng just a moment ago that there were at least five other people at Ethereal Opening that could defeat him. Who are these five people?”

There had been many listeners to this previous exchange and it was also a topic everyone viewed with the greatest interest.

”I know I’m definitely not one of them.” Directly looking into Chen Changsheng's eyes, Tang Thirty-Six said in a very indifferent manner, ”So you don't need to care about my feelings.”

Chen Changsheng did not need to take too long to ponder this question. He straightforwardly said, ”Qiushan Jun, Xu Yourong, Lady Chujian, Gou Hanshi, Nanke.”

It was plainly obvious that this was a question he had considered many times.
