Chapter 2323: The Tower of Radiance Opens (1/2)
“T- this is the Chosen Saint’s personal residence…” The two female servants became troubled. They had no idea how to turn him away.
The two of them were Hallowed Saint Masters with five-colored soulcores, making them equivalent to Gods. However, they were extremely careful around Chang Yang despite his one-colored soulcore. They were afraid of offending him.
Clearly, they knew that although Jian Chen’s cultivation was limited, he had the support of a vice-leader, so his status was extraordinary.
At this moment, the door opened. Donglin Yanxue walked out gently in her attire as the Chosen Saint. She looked at Jian Chen, who stood outside, and mixed feelings flashed through her eyes. After hesitating slightly, she dismissed the two female servants and said gently, “Chang Yang, come in.” With that, she turned around and returned to her residence.
But in the instance she turned around, her face seemed slightly unnatural. However, she returned to normal very soon.
Jian Chen did not think too much about it. He directly entered Donglin Yanxue’s residence, closing the door along the way.
“Why have you come looking for me?” Donglin Yanxue looked at Jian Chen with her shining, black pupils.
“When can we enter the Tower of Radiance?” Jian Chen directly asked.
“You’ve come looking for me because of the Tower of Radiance? Not because of anything else?” Donglin Yanxue stared straight at Jian Chen and replied with more questions.
“The Tower of Radiance is extremely important to me because it contains all the cultivation methods and knowledge of cultivation from the seniors. It has a direct correlation to my future accomplishments. As a result, I hope to enter the Tower of Radiance as soon as possible,” Jian Chen said seriously.
“Do you only see the Tower of Radiance?” A sliver of disappointment flashed through Donglin Yanxue’s eyes.
Jian Chen was slightly surprised by that. He glanced at Donglin Yanxue deeply and said, “Indeed. For a spot into the Tower of Radiance, you should know just how much time and energy I’ve spent.”
“Chang Yang!” Donglin Yanxue called out as she stared straight at Jian Chen with her limpid eyes. Her voice became slightly shrill as she said quickly, “I really don’t understand. You clearly have a vice-leader’s medallion in your hands. If you want to enter the Tower of Radiance, you can just ask the vice-leader to open it for you. Although there’ll be some objections if other vice-leaders want to open it for you, it’s only a matter of a single sentence from vice-leader Xuan Zhan with his status in the Radiant Saint Hall. Since you need to enter the Radiant Saint Hall so urgently, why did you take the longer path and find me? You even gave me a precious puresoul.”
“I only obtained vice-leader Xuan Zhan’s medallion a few days before entering the World of Moon and Star. Moreover, I don’t want to owe vice-leader Xuan Zhan too much. As a result, even if I knew vice-leader Xuan Zhan could directly allow me into the Tower of Radiance, I didn’t want to trouble him, as I want to obtain that spot through my own efforts,” said Jian Chen.
Donglin Yanxue stared at Jian Chen with mixed feelings. She actually said nothing for a moment.
Even though Jian Chen’s mask had given him an ordinary appearance that would not catch any attention if thrown into a crowd, he had already established a great, sturdy image in Donglin Yanxue’s heart when they were in the World of Moon and Star.
A person’s beauty was not their appearance but their true nature. Only a beautiful true nature would be considered as true beauty. Jian Chen’s behaviour in the World of Moon and Star seemed to allow Donglin Yanxue to see his true nature, so the image he had established in Donglin Yanxue’s heart was handsome.
A while later, Donglin Yanxue sighed gently. A hint of disappointment filled her heart as she said, “I will be using my right to the Tower of Radiance in half a month’s time. I’ll send someone to contact you when it’s time.”
“Half a month?” Jian Chen frowned in response, “It’s too long. Can you do it sooner? The sooner, the better. It would be best if it’s tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow? So soon?” Donglin Yanxue was surprised.
