Chapter 6: Steward Jiang Zheng’s worries
The Jiang duke’s household was in dire straits in the face of such brutal competition
There was only half a year left until the Hidden Dragon Trials, and the previous Jiang Chen’s performance could only be summed up with one word, “disastrous” There were numerous examinations that needed to be completed prior to the trials, but quite a few hadn’t even been started
Even without the incident at the Rites of Heavenly Worshi+p, Jiang Chen only had a thirty to forty percent chance of passing the trials He was one of the hot contenders for fa Chen noas not disheartened at all In fact, he was rather excited
“The strong reign supreme It seeher positions to the common masses down beloith no exception I could not train in my past life and thus did not have the opportunity to experience this, but now that I’lorious years of life, I cannot miss this!”
In his past life, he held the exalted position of the son of the Celestial Emperor No one dared offend hi It was iing others in conito
In this life, he could finally train to his heart’s content and relish in the glories of ascending to the peak of the e he enjoyed!
“Since I’ve promised Eastern Lu that I will enter the palace in three days to diagnose the princess, I need to ood use of these three days, not to mention my current identity as one of the candidates for the Hidden Dragon Trials There’s still six months until the final exa Han dukedoh the position of duke doesn’t ain some face for that ‘cute’ old dad oflike the dukedo Chen realized that tiive it to the sure knew their stuff Forget about the past Jiang Chen, even practitioners ere twice as strong would be hard pressed to survive that ordeal
His ood fortune and new body, but this body was quite severely injured If he didn’t get a grip on his injuries, forget about entering the palace in three days to cure the princess, he would miss even the Trials’ son Trials held a small test every month and all the scores were cumulative A lot of homeould descend if oneChen already owed a ton of homework If this continued, he would probably be failed out of the Trials before the final exa Chen didn’t want to happen
In his past life, as the son of the Celestial E and refining dao of alcheh he was utterly worthless for martial cultivation, he was a renowned alchemy master in the world of alches in the dao of alchemy If this was his past life, any rando with vitality
But that was his past life, there was no way that this life couldChen had been in charge of the Tianlang Library for millions of years and read countless scrolls and books His knowledge knew no bounds, spanning from common sense to the ways of the Gods the these types of injuries was a sht briefly the next , took out his brush and ink, and wrote out a list
“Jiang Zheng!” He yelled towards the door
The duke of Jiang Hang had appointed Jiang Zheng to be Jiang Chen’s personal steward, in charge of taking care of Jiang Chen’s day to day life and fulfilling his daily needs Jiang Zheng had received his due share of tongue lashi+ngs for the incident at the Autu They said that a servant would rather die than see hisshould have died for neglecting his duties
But he just couldn’t bring hient in serving this youngduke just really wouldn’t shape up
The servants and butlers of other dukedo and drinking only the best and being feted wherever they went But Jiang Zheng’sthe ti out crazy ideas the next
To top it off, this youngwent south
Therefore, he had put out his fair share of fires and taken quite a bit of bla Chen Not only did Jiang Zheng feel a decided lack of increased status with his awarded position, but he rather felt that he was being worked to death
Say for instance,If a friend were to get into a sticky situation today, he’d ht with money If another brother stirred up troubled toain put it to rest with enerous with hisIt was only mid month, yet the entire month’s allowance had already been spent!
Thus, Jiang Zheng now only wanted to be left alone and count his blessings if it was peaceful and quiet His head started to hurt as soon as he heard Jiang Chen’s voice
But he couldn’t refuse hisduke, your servant is incompetent and did not take care of you Please punish your servant severely Even if you withdrew your servant’s job, your servant would not breath a single ill world” Jiang Zheng immediately fell to the floor in a bow as soon as he entered
The fluff of “incompetence” and “please punish severely” were just e thehad successfully absolved all responsibility
Even though this young duke was a good for naught and had no desire to advance in life, he didn’t have the bad habit of being cruel towards his underlings
If it was the previous Jiang Chen, hebehind Jiang Zheng’s words But the Jiang Chen of today had experienced rasp of most matters, and ell versed in social dynaleaned fro had suffered tooChen, and wanted to throw it all down and quit
Jiang Chen didn’t reveal the steward’s intention and chuckled, “Jiang Zheng ah, my father had meant to award you riches and honor when he appointed you tothis time and have toiled ceaselessly to clean up after me and put out fires I have noted your loyal service”
