Chapter 1141 (2/2)
Mu Chen’s assumption was correct. Xiao Xiao only gave Xia Yu a cold look and then turned away as if she were too lazy to even bother with his request. However, Lin Jing seemed to thinking of something. She took out a golden scroll from her sleeve and said, “So you are the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty. Well, that’s just nice. There was a time when your little brother lost his bet of 100,000,000 spiritual liquid drops to me, and he assured me that the Great Xia Dynasty would pay up.”
Xia Hong went pale. Xia Yu, who was standing right beside him, twisted his lips, gave Xia Hong an unbelievable look, and said, “One hundred million spiritual liquid drops? That would wipe out almost the entire national treasury of the Great Xia Dynasty. Even his father would definitely be unwilling to take care of the cost.”
“What now? I guess the Great Xia Dynasty is about to welch on me this time,” Lin Jing said as she saw their expressions.
Xia Yu took a deep breath and said, “These numbers are too big. We can’t make the decision ourselves. We suggest you talk directly to our father.” He would definitely pay, but if Lin Jing were to show the bill to his father, she would certainly be eliminated immediately. There had only been a few individuals who dared to blackmail the Great Xia Dynasty throughout these past few years.
Lin Jing did not seem to realize the consequences after listening to Xia Yu’s suggestion. She nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll go and redeem it from your father, then.”
Xia Yu and Xia Hong gaped and looked at Lin Jing as if she were an idiot. However, as they were staring at Lin Jing, they realized that Mu Chen, Nine Nether, and the rest had been looking at them all the while. Both of them were shocked and felt something was wrong with that.
Mu Chen was not interested in explaining to them about Lin Jing’s true identity, but soon they would know how dumb they were. These idiots actually thought that no one would dare collect the debt from the Great Xia Dynasty. If they dared to welch on the daughter of the Martial Ancestor, she could simply summon a senior from the Martial Border to teach the Great Xia Dynasty a lesson.
Mu Chen smiled at Xia Yu and said, “Well, Mr. Xia. If there is nothing else, then I suppose we will take our leave.”
He did not take the initiative to put a hand on Xia Yu and Xia Hong because they had quite a number of people with them. Once it got ugly, it would take a lot of time to fight, and the most important task now was to get to the Sky Pool for the baptism. As for Xia Yu, there would be plenty of time to get rid of him afterwards.
Xia Yu could not help but clench his fist as he saw Mu Chen smiling at him. It made him angry because an ant that he could have easily crushed was now a free man walking in front of him that he dare not touch. However, regardless of the grievances in his heart, Xia Yu could no longer say a word of provocation because he knew that if a fight started, they would not get any benefit from it.
The fighters from the Great Xia Dynasty remained silent because they dared not raise an objection in front of Xia Yu.
Between the heavens and the earth, the people who saw this scene could not help but sneer. Xia Yu’s previous arrogant attitude towards Mu Chen was a joke because he thought he could easily suppress him. However, the scenario changed in the blink of an eye, which put him in an awkward situation.
Countless people were rejoicing in Xia Yu’s calamity. He soon realized it, but he could only face it brazenly. On the other hand, Mu Chen only smiled as he saw that Xia Yu and the rest had gone silent. He did not want to waste his precious time arguing with them. He took a leap and charged into the distance. Xiao Xiao, Lin Jing, and Nine Nether then followed.
As the four of them left, they were watched by countless fighters. However, none of them would dare to block their way. They did not even have the guts to be jealous of Mu Chen obtaining the Dragon Island’s treasure.
Three Golden Dragon Disciples were enough to shock everyone.
Xia Yu and the rest could only look on miserably as they left. None of them had the courage to speak out. Their arrogant demeanor vanished as they had been slapped in the face.
“Brother…” Xia Hong could not help but talk to Xia Yu. They thought they could play Mu Chen this time as revenge for his broken arm. However, things had gone south because Mu Chen was overpowered, and even Xia Yu could not help but stand down in front of him.
“Shut your mouth!” Xia Yu’s face was pale as he gave him a ruthless look. If only this fella had not unwittingly offended Mu Chen, things would not be so complicated.
One would stress out facing Mu Chen’s lineup, even if he or she was as powerful as Xia Yu. This was because even if one was confident enough to suppress Mu Chen, one would not be against the mysterious Lin Jing and Xiao Xiao.
Xia Hong went pale upon getting scolded. After a while, he clenched his teeth and said, “Are we letting it slide just like that? Father mentioned before that no one could trample the reputation of the Great Xia Dynasty, moreover a mere Half Grade Nine.”
Xia Yu’s expression was grim when he stared in the direction where Mu Chen had gone. A moment later, he said ruthlessly, “I will not let this incident slide just like that. Though we do not know where or how he managed to find such powerful helpers, I have my own connections, too. I think Garuda and his team would treat them with defensive hostility. When the time comes, we could make an alliance with them against these outsiders!”
At this thought, Xia Yu’s expression became ruthless. “This Mu Chen… dared to offend our Great Xia Dynasty. This is ridiculous! Let us see if he stands a chance in front of us!”
