Chapter 1680
Chapter 1680: Chapter 1393 Are You Experiencing Puppy Love? Chapter 1680: Chapter 1393 Are You Experiencing Puppy Love? As February approached mid-month, Jiang Hao and his companions entered the palace.
Previously, while touring the outside, they now officially entered the capital as guests.
Therefore, they all had to stay at the palace.
It wasn't compulsory, but most people did so, and Jiang Hao had no special exceptions.
It would make things difficult for them.
Facilitating others facilitates oneself.
There was no need to highlight one's own uniqueness.
This would only draw attention, whether good or bad, and all too easily invite trouble.
Blending in with the crowd was usually harmless unless there was a collective danger.
However, as a top-tier sect, the Heavenly Note Sect did not receive the attention it deserved.
Their accommodations were inferior to those of the Blackheaven Sect and the Sunset Sect.
This caused discontent among the disciples.
But seeing Jiang Hao unbothered, they refrained from voicing out.
If that's the situation, one must fit and follow orders.
“There are many sects gathered within the capital, and the palace itself teems with powerful individuals; if it's not necessary, do not trouble the people of the capital,” Jiang Hao advised his fellow disciples upon reaching their designated courtyard:
“After all, we were invited by the royal family to exchange pointers, not to make enemies. Understand this well; having a suitable place to stay is already sufficient, no need to be overly demanding, small or large, it's all for rest.
“Certainly, other sects have not extended an invitation to us nor provided any perks; basic etiquette is a must, but if the others are unreasonable, then we need not be unnecessarily polite either.
“Do you understand?”
As Jiang Hao's words concluded, the crowd nodded and responded, “Understood.”
Jiang Hao nodded and continued, “Then you all arrange your rooms accordingly, or allow Manlong to help handle it; if any junior sisters have issues, they can also seek Senior Sister Zhou Chan.”
Having said these, Jiang Hao then turned and departed.
He went to the accommodations he had found for himself, which was the highest loft among all the rooms.
It also had the best view.
No one dared to object to this.
However, at this moment, many were puzzled: “What exactly did Senior Brother Jiang mean?”
Although everyone responded well, not many had truly understood.
Manlong, looking at the group, said, “Perhaps some of you didn't quite grasp Senior Brother Jiang's words; let me analyze it for you.”
The crowd nodded.
Zhou Chan was also quietly listening.
“Senior Brother mentioned we were invited by the royal family, so not being treated as well as other sects isn't really a big deal,” Manlong earnestly explained: “What this means is, these treatments are granted by others, not something we inherently deserve, so however the royal family favors other sects, it's natural, as this benefit is something we received without any conditions; we shouldn't dispute it but go with the flow, adjusting to the host.”
The crowd nodded, now they understood.
Thinking it through, it also made sense; the visit was initially for a specific opportunity.
Less favorable treatment wasn't a big deal, no need for contention.
What about the rest?
Everyone looked at Brother Manlong, awaiting further explanations.
“It's simple, we came here at the invitation of the royal family, not other sects. Whether it's the Heavily Gate Sect or Blackheaven Sect, they haven't granted us anything that wasn't already ours, so basic decorum is necessary, but if they disregard etiquette, we need not indulge them either. Act as you must, without restraint or fear, repaying good with good, and evil with evil,” Manlong stated sternly:
“The way we've come thus far, everyone should understand, and you should also know what kind of person Senior Brother Jiang is.
“If you wish to proceed as smoothly as before, understand Senior Brother Jiang's character to gain his support.
“With this, we will be fearless and unstoppable.”
“Understood, upholding Brother's Blood Wish Path, and performing what Brother approves, we can be invincible in the capital,” the others were equally excited.
Zhou Chan observed everything, feeling somewhat strange,
but it seemed indeed to be the case.
She couldn't help but recall her first encounter with Jiang Hao, who at that time seemed quite ordinary.
Now, he already shone brilliantly.
“Sister, is Senior Brother Jiang really that formidable?” Zhao Qingxue curiously inquired.
Zhou Chan shook her head, “I don't know, but there are no weak top disciples.”
Zhao Qingxue looked aside, where Lin Zhi had already begun sweeping unknowingly, lamenting, “Junior Brother Lin just cleans everywhere.”
“It's safer to let Junior Brother Lin handle the cleaning,” Cheng Chou explained on the side.
Zhao Qingxue nodded, not saying much.
It was somewhat acknowledged.
Cheng Chou did not elaborate further; today's Lin Zhi had reached Return to Void.
He naturally observed more meticulously to prevent any accidents.
Moreover, this was instructed by Senior Brother Jiang.
Why that was, remained unknown.
—
Jiang Hao stood in the loft, watching Manlong speak below.
Logically, his analysis wasn't wrong, yet he always felt the man was somewhat restless.
What was this talk of the Heavenly Note Sect's blade?
Jiang Hao recalled, it was the second day when a body laid by the riverbank.
This was not the Heavenly Note Sect's home ground after all, and it was easy to be investigated here.
He then sensed a disturbance in the royal family's great luck.
The power of the earth became active.
“The Great Earth Sovereigns are here,” he concluded immediately.
“Can the royal family summon the Great Earth Sovereigns?” Heavenly Note Sect mused casually, somewhat distracted.
“It might be because of that princess,” Jiang Hao referred to Princess Bi Zhu.
She knew the Great Earth Sovereigns.
Jiang Hao pondered and added, “Come to think of it, they seem to know me too.”
“You?” Heavenly Note Sect turned to look at Jiang Hao.
Seemingly asking whether it was Laugh Three Times, Gu Jin, Jiang Hao Tian, or him.
“Yes, it's me,” Jiang Hao nodded in response.
Ever since he last examined Chu Chuan's situation, he had felt a strange sensation.
It was most apparent when he saw Heavenly Note Sect.
