C107 (1/2)
Decided to do this chapter as well because I remembered how amused I hen I first read itThis means there probably won’t be another chapter till Monday
Having n ignorance, Chen Chang Sheng lightly nodded his head in greeting Under the Cedrus tree, an older student of Holy Maiden Peak lightly nodded in reply, though the h to express courtesy, pro Sheng in turn
A lone girl, whose face still conveyed re a cold expression and cool gaze towards Chen Chang Sheng The previous older student, as probably her senior disciple, whispered a feords to the girl, yet afterwards, the girl erupted in annoyance, stating: “Will senior You Rong reet him?”
Upon hearing this, the other students were at a lost, how should they answer? The older student was just as bewildered and rushed to the side to reason with her, this fell upon deaf ears however and the girl turned to Chen Chang Sheng with a cold s: “A little toad wishes to dine on the Phoenix? That type of delusional fool isn’t sonoring him too”
Her words were intentionally loud and clear, in order to put Chen Chang Sheng’s group into hearing range Initially, Chen Chang Sheng had presuirl and did not need to care for her words, but upon the utterance of the last line, he had no choice but to stop; Tang Thirty-Six refused to continue forwards
The girl had an exceedingly young looking face, and an age to uessed she would be so callous with her words? Her voice carried a fair distance; the 13 Divisions of Radiant Green opposite were restrained in their reactions, conversely, students froe ere situated farther away, all erupted in bouts of heavy laughter
The Li Palace’s divine avenue was a long, straight path, Tang Thirty-Six had already endured the gazes of a multitude of students and the barbs fro the callous words of this girl and the subsequent hter; he had already reached his limit
Hearing laughter froirl was further e in the response She turned to Chen Chang Sheng, nation, and then turned to her senior: “Do you hear that? Even these people of Zhou (country) agree with me”
Earlythe sounds of laughter to reverberate throughout the palace at an ear-piercing volume
The reason for students of Te reaction to the girl’s callous words was because the phrase, “a little toad wishes to dine on the Phoenix”, was currently the biggest joke in the city, alluding to the engage
No one dared to approach the doors of Orthodox Seminary to say these words and were thus also unable to say these words to Chen Chang Sheng’s face, for this girl to say these words today, students that enjoyed inciting incidents couldn’t let this chance slip by without fanning the flames
“I daresay… such a phrase should be officially recorded, so that it may become a proverb for the people of this continent”
A voice froroup sounded, it was unclear if it was the same person frohter
Chen Chang Sheng shi+fted his gaze towards the girl under the Cedrus tree; seeing her childish face, he estie not too different fro him to feel hesitant
The older student froy towards him
The girl aze indifferently and responded with a cold laugh: “What? Have I said anything that’s a lie?”
Chen Chang Sheng quietly considered for awhile, then replied: “Your words are correct”
The girl looked at hi then? In ay are you worthy of Senior You Rong?”
“She ht really be a Phoenix”
Chen Chang Sheng said
“But I am most definitely not a toad”
He was also going to express that the toad wasn’t interested in the Phoenix, but was interrupted by the girl, who ly said: “Oh, so you’re not a toad because you say you’re not? Then ere they all laughing at?”
“I do not knoho they were laughing at”
Chen Chang Sheng suddenly shi+fted his gaze towards the deeper regions of the Cedrus trees, stating: “But I do know so a toad”
Unknown to all, the doors to a guesthouse had been opened and from inside, Gou Han shi+ and his three junior disciples froed, they crossed the woods and arrived at the divine avenue
Gou Han shi+ irl’s previous words and understood the allusions behind them, his expression was hard to read, as he shook his head and said: “You’re naturally not a toad, if you were, then ould that make me?”
The laughter suddenly subsided, leaving a wake of silence
At the Ivy League gathering, Orthodox Seminary triumphed over Li Shan Sword Sect, anyone that was present at the tiure behind that victory
Though it could not be said that Chen Chang Sheng was stronger than Gou Han shi+, he was undeniably capable of standing up to him
If he were to be a toad, then ould that make Gou Han shi+? What of the Divine State’s Seven Laws?
Laughing at Chen Chang Sheng was therefore no different fro Li Shan Sword Sect?
Subsequently, no one dared to raise their voice again, let alone laugh, the girl fro at Gou Han shi+ and wanted to open her ive an explanation, yet words would not come
A frohtly crossed his eyebrows in a frown, he couldn’t understand, why did Gou Han shi+ ?
The reason for this was only privy to Chen Chang Sheng and Gou Han shi+; apart fronanimity of the Li Shan Sword Sect, considerations also had to be paid towards the state of Qiu Shan Jun Chen Chang Sheng and Xu You Rong were betrothed to each other, all Qiu Shan Jun could do was to observe them from a distance, therefore this event couldn’t be allowed to become too much of a mockery
A beautiful silence enveloped the evergreens
Chen Chang Sheng and Gou Han shi+ exchanged fors (揖礼) towards each other
Subsequently, no one paid any further attention to the girl fro her seniors, but the quietness of the surroundings cause her to becoevity Sect was an unthinkable situation for her, further increasing her anxiety Near bursting into tears, she said: “I… I didn’t mean that, this… this person can’t even cultivate properly, isn’t he nothing more than trash?”
Upon these words, the atain turned heavy
Guan Fei Bai raised his eyebrow, finding the actions of the girl distasteful; the fifth Law, Liang Ban Hu, shook his head; even Qi Jian, who only cared about cultivating the Way and cared little for worldly affairs, thought her actions crossed the line, he turned his gaze towards Gou Han shi+, hoping that his senior would handle this affair
Gou Han shi+ had a glooh students froreetings of senior and junior, akin to being frole body and school, they were still independent of each other As the 2nd disciple of the Longevity Sect, he had no right to interfere with Holy Maiden Peak and its matters
Though there was so
“I’ soThirty-Six suddenly interjected
The girl only continued to glare at Chen Chang Sheng, ignoring the question
Tang Thirty-Six continued, “No ifted you may be, you cannot possibly be aaside your personality, you’re still too young to be a student at Nan Xi Institute, so you must be a student associated with Holy Maiden Peak? I would guess… a student of Ci Jian Temple?”
Hearing hiirl waswith her personality? Yet upon hearing those last feords, she felt stunned, Holy Maiden Peak had over a dozen schools and sects, how did he uess that she came from Ci Jian Temple?
“That’s right, I’er student at Ci Jian Te Nan Xi Institute, what of it?”
She faced Tang Thirty-Six with her suarded vigilance
Tang Thirty-Six interjected: “Ci Jian Temple, is it not rather near Li Shan?”
