Chapter 24: Skill
Changyang Hu unconsciously turned around to look at the crowd before nodding his head, “Alright, fourth brother, let’s go to your room first. You definitely have to tell me how you beat Ka Di Yun, and then later tonight, I’ll grab a few friends to come and celebrate!”
Jian Chen smiled happily at his brother, “Big brother, I can teach you how I beat Ka Di Yun, but let’s forget about the celebration.”
“Fine, I’ll listen to you. Come on, fourth brother, let’s go back to your dorm – it’s far too noisy here.” Changyang Hu started to pull his younger brother back towards the direction of the dorms.
“Changyang Xiang Tian!”
Before Jian Chen could take a step, a gentle and exquisite voice called out to him.
Hearing the familiar voice, Jian Chen blanked out for a moment before turning around. Looking at the speaker, he recognized the figure of the running girl, particularly the pretty girl who had sat next to him in the library earlier.
“Yes?” Jian Chen questioned, as he indifferently looked at the young girl, who was so beautiful that it would be easy to cause a city to fight over her..
The girl’s voice was like a gentle stream of water as she laughed joyously. Slowly extending her arm out to reveal a purse, she happily said, “Changyang Xiang Tian, you managed to win me 100 Purple coins, I really have to thank you.” Her voice was extraordinarily soft, and also very pleasant to listen to; it was almost as if she was a skylark singing on a peaceful day..
Hearing this, Changyang Hu appeared to have suddenly realized something. He slapped his forehead in disbelief, “Ai ya, I just remembered. I put down 100 Purple coins; that was my entire savings and I didn’t get it back. Fourth brother, you go on without me, your big brother has to get his money back!” And with that, Changyang Hu vanished like the wind, back to where the crowd of gamblers were.
Looking at Changyang Hu rush back for his money, Jian Chen couldn’t help but laugh. At that moment, the girl slowly walked up to Jian Chen, studying his handsome features with her inquisitive eyes. “Hello! Changyang Xiang Tian, my name is You Yue. May I ask you a question?”
Jian Chen laughed and replied, “Miss You Yue, if you have a question, you should go on ahead and ask, but I can’t guarantee an answer.”
“No worries!” You Yue gently laughed before asking, “Changyang Xiang Tian, is your strength is really only of the 8th Saint Force Layer?”
Jian Chen hesitated for a moment before he nodded his head, “That’s right, at the moment, I am currently in the 8th Saint Force layer, but I have a feeling I’ll be making a breakthrough into the 9th layer soon.”
You Yue was surprised after hearing his answer. With an astounded look, she exclaimed, “Changyang Xiang Tian, you mean you really haven’t reached the Saint level?” Her voice carried some doubt; clearly, she didn’t believe him entirely.
Noticing the disbelief in her voice, Jian Chen furrowed his brows and spoke with some annoyance, “Miss You Yue, I seem to have answered your question.” Even though she was a beautiful girl that could cause countless cities to fight for her, to Jian Chen, she was no different than the average girl.
You Yue immediately waved her hands in an apologetic motion as she laughed, “I’m sorry, Changyang Xiang Tian, I’m just far too amazed. I hope you didn’t take offense to what I said.”
Her voice trailed off as Changyang Hu came running back with a joyful face and a fat coin bag. When he arrived by Jian Chen’s side, he was tossing the purse up and down his hand as he snickered, “Fourth brother, your big brother is very wise. In less than an hour, I’ve won 100 Purple coins.” 100 Purple coins was by no means a small number to a commoner and for those who only ate a simple amount of food in their lives; 100 Purple coins could feed a family of three for the rest of their lives.!
Staring at the coin purse in his brother’s hands, Jian Chen started to smile and said, “Miss You Yue, if you have no other questions, then I’ll be leaving first.”
You Yue smiled back at him, “That’s fine, I won’t hold you up any longer. I haven’t finished reading my book either, so I’ll be returning to the library. Changyang Xiang Tian, I’ll see you later!”
Soon after, Jian Chen brought his older brother back to his dorm and closed the door as they both walked in. Immediately, Changyang Hu impatiently asked, “Fourth brother, you’ve got to tell me what you did to beat Ka Di Yun, and how strong you really are! It couldn’t only be at the 8th Saint Force layer, you have to be a Saint!” As he spoke, Changyang Hu’s face revealed an impatient, excited face as he waited for an answer.
