Chapter 1703: Miss Xiahou (2/2)
Thu was displeased He slammed the table “Are you aMiss Ying such attitude?”
Jiang Chen didn’t know the identity or rank of the new speaker Fro at minimu interesting about s wasn’t a disciple of the sacred land, yet this youth was interceding on her behalf by shouting at him – despite the fact that he was an i Chen, this kind of behavior was blandishment of the bluntest sort But he wasn’t surprised by it There was no lack of people who fawned upon women anywhere The Eternal Sacred Land was no different
His adversary was furious at Jiang Chen’s non-reaction He felt that he was being humiliated
“What’s with your attitude, Shao Yuan?” The unknown speaker’s ire rose “Do you feel that I’ Chen didn’t answer Instead, he cupped a fist toward Gan Ning “Daoist Gan Ning, is this the so-called tea party you told me about? I haven’t tasted any tea yet, but I do taste a rather acidic flavor”
Gan Ning snant on the behalf of others, Daoist Shao Yuan He’s ad for a while now, so please excuse his rashness”
The corner of Jiang Chen’s race the state was likely in cahoots with the rest He wasa bit more reticent, thanks to his position as one of the Five Great Gentlemen This tea party really was a trap
His mind cleared up once he realized this He wanted to see what these guys had in store for him
Still, wariness crept into his heart as well He needed to watch out for Xiahou Ying’s scheht her to be a proud and unreasonable young miss, but it see wasn’t as brainless as she appeared A foolish young eniuses to action on her behalf, no matter how beautiful she was
This wo stance gave off the i The youths anted to pick a fight with him didn’t knohere to start They had invited him in order to do so, but his is too openly If the executives were angered, the three primes especially, they wouldn’t be able to deal with the consequences
In truth, these geniuses were unsatisfied with Jiang Chen’s current state of high favor This young ained the favor of everyone for no reason
Many found it difficult to accept the speed and eniuses in the Eternal Sacred Land, and a lot believed themselves superior to this outsider in every aspect
Most ih all nine of the Winding Caves had daunted them to a certain extent
They would unavoidably oppose and clash with someone who posed so much of a threat They were understandably uneasy that positions which should’ve been theirs were no longer guaranteed
This was the reason they atteh a e sense of insecurity
Gan Ning s atmosphere “Daoist Shao Yuan,” he said, “let eniuses to you We’ll have plenty of opportunities to get together htful glance at Gan Ning He wanted to knohat the other youngwas nonchalant as he began a round of introductions, disappointing Jiang Chen when he heard who they were: aside fro the Five Great Gentlemen
At the same time, he was a bit relieved as well that not everyone in the sacred land was as shallow as this If all Five Great Gentleeniuses of the sacred land would’ve disappointed hi Chen’s passivity after the introductions caused a slight frown to crease Gan Ning’s forehead
“Daoist Shao Yuan, I’ve gone to quite a bit of trouble to present these fine friends to you Aren’t you being unnecessarily aloof?” the young gentle Chen burst into laughter “Daoist Gan Ning,” he interjected suddenly “Why don’t you tell me just exactly what you want to do at this tea party? We all understand each other well enough Excuse athering save for your collective hostility Why waste your ti around like this?”
The hint of a smile played at the corner of his mouth “I didn’t expect Miss Xiahou to have such influence in the Eternal Sacred Land My apologies for underrating you”
Saying this, he raised a cupped fist salute at Xiahou Ying “Miss Xiahou, why did you seek Elder Ziju’s tutelage? To learn pill dao? Or to socialize with these Sacred Land geniuses? Honestly, I’ Chen saw no reason to be courteous towards anyone from House Xiahou Neither human nor animal from that house could be his friend, so there was no reason to be polite
These words effectively tore away Xiahou Ying’s facade Iirl’s pretty eyes It disappeared as quickly as it caiven me the cold shoulder all this time,” she stomped and pouted “You’re so biased towards me!”=
