Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
âDo you think the Gao Mansion is a place you can come and go at will?â Gao Ke said angrily.
Jiang Chen realized this guy held a strong hatred for his father and had a lot of anger to vent.
Now that Jiang Chen had come to the Gaos, of course he wouldnât let this chance go easily.
âIâm here to see the master of the Gaos. Iâm leaving since you wonât allow me to see him. Are you going to kill me for that?â
However, Jiang Chen would in no case listen to his trash talk.
âYouâre as smooth-tongued as your father. He cheated my sister. Youâve inherited this talent of his perfectly!â Gao Ke said.
Even Buddha became irritated sometimes. Even though Jiang Chen had a good temper, he couldnât take Gao Keâs aggression anymore.
âYou can criticize me, but you donât get to criticize my father.â
âI donât get to?â Gao Ke kept sneering, and didnât bother to argue.
He only cursed, âYouâre way worse than my son, because the blood flowing in your fatherâs body is too humble. Even though your mother has the blood of phoenix of the Gaos, they could only give birth to trash like you!â
Everyone in the hall was dumbstruck.
Gao Ke had been the acting master of the Gaos for many years. He had always been restrained and mature. He was good at managing and admired by all members of the Gaos.
But at this moment, Gao Ke looked like a stranger.
âSo he has never let it go.â
Some senior members of the Gaos could still recall how Gao Ke had spoiled his sister over ten years ago. He had treated her like treasure.
But what happened next had completely changed his character. He had been an optimistic person, and then he became a man of few words.
âCut the crap! Itâs your ignorance that brought my parents pain. I donât even want to talk about it. It was proven in the Sacred Zone 500 years ago that the intermarriage of an equal family couldnât decide the purity of blood!â
Jiang Chen was emotional. His confidence and firmness overshadowed Gao Keâs aggression, but Gao Ke refuted scornfully after only a short while, âFive hundred years ago in the Sacred Zone, how would you know?â
âYou kept criticizing my father. Iâll let you know what the Gaos missed!â Jiang Chen said.
âHow?â Gao Ke said more scornfully.
âDo you dare make a bet with me? I will win an outstanding grade in the great competition of the four courtyards!â
âYeah? You want to prove that youâre better than the disciples of the Gaos?â
âI donât have to prove it. I just want you to accept the reality,â Jiang Chen said.
âHow dare you!â
The aristocratic woman couldnât put up with Jiang Chen anymore. She threw the tea cup on the table and rebuked him, âWhat place do you think the Gao Mansion is? Itâs not a place for you to snap at people!â
âHuh, I wanted to leave. Itâs you who stopped me. What do you expect me to do? To get a scolding without talking back?â Jiang Chen asked.
âYou donât even deserve our scolding!â the aristocratic woman said coldly.
âFantastic. I donât even deserve your scolding! What an aristocratic family of inheritance! Youâve really broadened my horizons.â
Jiang Chen took out a scroll as he spoke. He said, âThis is a recording scroll of the Sacred Institute. Iâll be very happy to send it to the Sacred Cityâs paper so that the local people can see how ugly you are, too!â
The atmosphere in the hall was immediately frozen. No one had expected Jiang Chen to have a recorder.
âArenât you foolish to take it out now?â The aristocratic woman curled her lips and stared at the scroll in Jiang Chenâs hand.
Jiang Chen threw it on the ground and said, âItâs only a recorder. The video has already been transmitted to the Sacred Institute. Go there to take it if you can.â
They all turned pale at the mention of the Sacred Institute.
Gao Ke had lost his temper. The aristocratic woman had talked and behaved in such a shameful manner. If what had happened was really reported by the papers, it would be a heavy blow for the Gaos.
âWhat your father did wasnât enough to destroy us, so now you want the whole world to know about our familyâs scandal?â Gao Ke shouted coldly.
âA family scandal? Are you saying Iâm a member of the Gaos? But I donât want to be.â
Then Jiang Chen walked towards the door with Whitty. If the Gaos wanted to stop him, they would have to attack him.
âJiang Chen, donât act on impulse. It will do neither of us any good. You donât want others to discuss Gao Yue and your father, either, do you?â
But a gray-haired old man showed up at the door and stopped him.
âSenior Sky.â
Those in the hall greeted him all at once, including Gao Ke.
âHere comes the hero,â Jiang Chen sneered silently.
However, Senior Skyâs strength had caused concern. His breath was long and deep, as if it were infinite.
âSenior, itâs the Gaos that have been pushing me and insulting me. I donât think you would have even bothered to show up if I didnât have the scroll,â Jiang Chen said.
Senior Sky frowned at his reply.
It seemed Jiang Chen had made a concession, but actually his reply was quite aggressive. Senior Sky became speechless and didnât know how to answer him.
âHm, the scroll. Who knows whether you really have what you claimed to have!â the aristocratic woman said, but she didnât sound very sure this time.
âYouâll know when you read the papers,â Jiang Chen said.
âEnough,â Senior Sky shouted and looked towards the aristocratic woman unhappily.
âJiang Chen, you have the blood of the Gaos. Although your grandpa hasnât recognized you as a member of the Gaos, if what happened today is reported by the paper, the outsiders will still regard you as one of us. On one hand, you donât get the benefits of being a disciple of the Gaos. On the other hand, since these years weâve incurred a lot of hatred, we have many enemies out there.â
The older, the wiser.
It didnât sound like a threat, but it made people feel threatened.
Then Senior Sky said again, âWhat about this? Arenât you gonna get an outstanding grade in the big competition of the four courtyards? Fang Yiâs son happens to be a disciple of the Sacred Institute, too. You two could be opponents then. Letâs make a bet.â
The way Senior Sky put the suggestion won the Gaosâ appreciation.
He had resolved the conflict by taking advantage of Jiang Chenâs own words. In this way, the latter couldnât refuse him.
Jiang Chen had broken through to the Reaching Heaven State without developing any of the extraordinary meridians. How was it possible for him to be a match for Fang Yiâs son?
Gao Tianâai was looking at Jiang Chen worriedly. She knew there was no way Jiang Chen would know who Fang Yiâs son was and he would just accept the bet.
âAre you afraid?â It also sounded like a good suggestion to the aristocratic woman.
âWhat do we bet?â Jiang Chen asked.
Senior Sky wasnât surprised, because Jiang Chen had to ask this question. He said, âIf you lose, destroy the scroll, and you shouldnât tell others about your relation with the Gaos without the Gaosâ permission.â
Jiang Chen smiled disdainfully. The stake sounded worthless to him.
âWhat if she loses?â Jiang Chen pointed at the aristocratic woman.
She was unsatisfied with Jiang Chenâs pointing, but she didnât dare interrupt Senior Sky.
âFang Yi will apologize to you for what she did today, and ask for your forgiveness,â Senior Sky said.
The aristocratic woman was surprised. Her face darkened. It would be worse than killing her, but fortunately, she was confident it wouldnât really happen.
âApologize to me in public, when I defeat her son in the ring,â Jiang Chen added.
âNo problem,â Senior Sky agreed immediately. Anyway, it wouldnât happen.
Then he walked away from the door and smiled at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen didnât rush to leave. He turned around to look at Gao Ke and said, âAre your son and her son the same person?â
âNope,â Gao Ke said impatiently.
âWhat a pity. But itâs all right. Iâll defeat your sons to prove what you two said today is bullsh*t!â
