The Brilliant Fighting Master

After the bath, Jiang Chen took Lil Fan to see the two women, who were

having tea.

“Why did the bath take you so…”

Yi Chen started to complain right away, but she stopped as soon as she saw

Jiang Chen’s face.

Jiang Chen had looked like a beggar. Although his fine features still could be

vaguely seen, Yi Chen hadn’t been in the mood to appreciate them.

By then his ragged clothes had been off. After the bath, his appearance had

totally changed.

He’s so handsome!

Even Wen Xin thought the same.

Jiang Qingyu and Gao Yue were both pretty people. It was natural for their

son to be good-looking, too. Besides, Jiang Chen’s introvert character and

deep look didn’t make him any similar to a countryman.

“Lil Fan, is he really from your village?” Yi Chen asked involuntarily.

“No. Big brother is from the sky. He came with thunders and lightning,” Lil Fan

said right away.

He told the truth, but it was beyond the two women’s imagination. As a result,

they didn’t take it seriously.

“Great. So, he won’t embarrass us.”

They started to walk again. Yi Chen was much nicer to Jiang Chen. She was

extremely enjoying the looks from passerbys.

“You don’t have to be a servant when we return to the Clear Spirit Sect. I can

find you a job as a steward,” Yi Chen said.

Jiang Chen shook his head, smiling bitterly. He sighed about the importance

given to appearance.

Then something occurred to him suddenly. He said, “Have we already

arrived?”

“Yes. The Ancient Sword Sect is on that mountain.”

Leaving the city through another city gate, they saw a wide road paved with

flagstones.

As they walked ahead, more and more practicers came into Jiang Chen’s

sight.

Most of them were Reaching Heaven States, who had just landed on the

road.

Out of the respect for the Ancient Sword Sect, they didn’t fly onto the

mountain directly.

Jiang Chen felt like he was a part of the river flowing into a sea when they had

been at the mountain gate, since people stretched as far as the eye could

see.

“Will they invite us to the Heavenly Mountain Platform?”

“I think so.”

“Then we’ll see Apprentice Brother Song.”

The two women were talking in a low voice.

There were so many people coming for the birthday party. The Ancient Sword

Sect wouldn’t look after all of them. Some of them wouldn’t even get the

chance to meet the protagonist of the birthday party.

The Heavenly Mountain Platform was like VIP seats.

Whether one could get invited onto it depended on three things.

Identity, sincerity and talent.

The identity referred to whether the guest was a Venerable. Venerables didn’t

have to land outside the sect. They could just fly into the Ancient Sword Sect.

The talent referred to whether the guest was a young genius. That was what

all forces valued.

As to the sincerity, it referred to the present. It was human nature to attach

importance to presents.

Wen Xin and Yi Chen were kind of talented, but they weren’t the best. They

hadn’t thought about getting invited to the Heavenly Mountain Platform at all

in the first place.

However, after an exchange of look, they walked towards the mountain gate

excitedly.

Only two kinds of people had to wait in the queue. The first kind was those

who wanted to prove their talent.

The other kind was who wanted to get their sincerity verified. They would give

their gifts to the Ancient Sword Sect. The sect would check the gifts one by

one.

Those who wanted to prove neither their talent nor their sincerity could go

inside directly.

Jiang Chen was disappointed at what he had seen. He had held high

expectations of the Ancient Sword Sect when he had first heard about it.

He wasn’t aloof. The Over Cloud Palace would take gifts, too.

However, the Ancient Sword Sect’s snobbishness was too obvious.

Staying in the queue, Jiang Chen found those who wanted to prove their

talents were all in the late stage of the Reaching Heaven State.

He was a little bit emotional since he felt he saw his old self in them.

Suddenly, three people swaggered over. Ignoring Wen Xin and Yi Chen’s

angry look, they tried to jump the queue.

“Hey! You shouldn’t jump the queue!” Yi Chen couldn’t swallow it.

“Aren’t you the two sisters from the Clear Spirit Sect?”

“Are you in the wrong queue?”

“Yeah, why are you Clear Spirit Sect here? It’s a waste of time. Why don’t you

give your spots to us?”

The three people didn’t feel sorry at all. They even scorned at the two women.

Jiang Chen found they were two women and a man in the same uniform.

They should be from the same sect.

“Oh, right. You are from the Primordial Wood Sect. I was wondering who were

so rude!”

Crossing her arms over her chest, Yi Chen said sarcastically after recognizing

who they were.

“Yi Chen, you are as silver-tongued as always.”

The leader of the three people from the Primordial Wood Sect was a tall slim

pretty woman. She was in Cloud Four of the Reaching Heaven State, stronger

than Yi Chen.

“You can keep arguing, but you should first decide who will stay here and who

will go to the end of the queue.”

Wen Xin and Yi Chen weren’t the only people unhappy with the queue

jumping. Other people were also complaining.

“It’s them who jumped the queue,” Wen Xin argued, as if she was wronged.

“None of my business.”

The same man said indifferently.

“Go to the end of the queue, the only two Reaching Heaven States in the

Clear Spirit Sect,” the woman from the Primordial Wood Sect said

sarcastically.

Yi Chen was so angry that she was going to draw her sword out. She had told

Lil Fan how great the Clear Spirit Sect was. How could she put up with their

acrid comments?

“What happened?”

A disciple of the Ancient Sword Sect walked over from the head of the queue.

“It’s Apprentice Brother Song.”

Seeing that man coming, both Yi Chen and that woman called Shi Xiu got

nervous. They hurried to arrange their hair.

Jiang Chen didn’t think it weird at all after seeing that Apprentice Brother

Song’s face.

Handsome, tall and strong, he looked great in the close-fitting black robe he

was wearing.

“Apprentice Brother Song, they want to jump the queue!” Yi Chen said

immediately.

“Apprentice Brother Song, they are wasting their time. What can the Clear

Spirit Sect gift to show their sincerity?” Shi Ling from the Primordial Wood

Sect argued.

Apprentice Brother Song frowned at them.

“Apprentice sister, why don’t you let me have a look at the gift first?” said

Apprentice Brother Song.

His response disappointed Jiang Chen, too.

As the most important disciple of the Ancient Sword Sect, he was an

unprincipled person. He didn’t do anything to maintain the order.

However, Yi Chen didn’t seem to think there was anything inappropriate. She

took the wooden box out complacently, throwing Shi Ling a glance.

Shi Ling rolled her eyes in an exaggerated way. Crossing her arms over the

chest, she was waiting to see what the Clear Spirit Sect had.

Unfortunately, where she was standing didn’t allow her to see what was in the

box, but good for her, Apprentice Brother Song took the Redcloud Sword out

of the box.

The sheath didn’t seem any special.

“Some short-sighted people give trash as a present,” Shi Ling couldn’t help

but scorn.

Apprentice Brother Song looked puzzled, until he drew the sword out.

He was pleasantly surprised when he had drawn only one-third of it out.

Changing a way to hold it, he looked like he was holding an extremely

valuable treasure.

He didn’t draw the sword completely out, but kept looking at the pattern on the

blade.

“It’s a magic weapon!”

The queue went into an uproar. Shi Ling’s eyes almost popped out of her

head.

“It’s a good sword! It’s great!”

Apprentice Brother Song kept speaking approvingly. Wen Xin and Yi Chen

didn’t have to wait in the queue anymore, since he was going to take them

onto the mountain in person.

Yi Chen felt she was on top of the world.

Leaving Shi Ling, who was feeling jealous, behind, the four followed

Apprentice Brother Song onto the mountain.

“Apprentice sister, where did you get the sword?” asked Apprentice Brother

Song.

Wen Xin and Yi Chen exchanged a look. They didn’t know how to answer him.

“So, is there anything you can’t tell me? If this sword is involved in some

crime, the Ancient Sword Sect won’t accept it,” Apprentice Brother Song said

seriously.

However, Jiang Chen knew from his look that he was hiding something while

he was speaking.
