Chapter 874: Get His Reputation Back
“Jiang Wuhen went to the Feng Yan Union to buy some gifts, and was targeted by some of the people at the auction. Now he is outside the sect, fighting.” Although Su Yizhi looked down on Lu Chengfeng a little, he still wanted to maintain good relations with him.
“In broad daylight? How audacious, attempting to rob someone so brazenly! Are there no rules in the Sacred Realm of Sects? Are there no laws?” Lu Chengfeng exclaimed in outrage. The other party actually followed them all the way here to make a move, making it clear that they looked down on the Golden Pill Sect. The opponent probably had a reputable background and some abilities.
This was the perfect opportunity to get involved and get back his reputation, Lu Chengfeng mused. Even if he put gold on his face, the fact that he had been beaten up by a child was something that would always stain his image, so he had to grab any opportunity he could to better it. After making his decision, Lu Chengfeng moved faster than Ling Chuxi and the rest to get to Jiang Wuhen. The group hurried to the foot of the mountain, listening to Su Xiu’er explain the situation on the way.
Jiang Wuhen was well aware that he had offended many people at the auction today. With so many goods on him, it was inevitable that people would notice his wealth, so he did not dare to stay in Wu Cang City for long. Once he left the auction, he did not dally and rushed back to the sect. A while had passed without incident, but Jiang Wuhen kept feeling uneasy, as if there were people watching him from afar. Jiang Wuhen was alert of his surroundings, but didn’t notice anyone.
‘Maybe I’m just overthinking.’ Jiang Wuhen comforted himself and sped up. Finally, the ancient buildings of the Golden Pill Sect came into sight, but Jiang Wuhen’s unease grew stronger and stronger.
“Xiu’er, you guys take the gifts back first.” Jiang Wuhen wasn’t even sure whether someone was following them, let alone what the person’s intentions were. For their safety, he decided to let Su Xiu’er go first, and he would stay behind.
“What’s the matter?” Su Xiu’er asked cautiously. It was rare to see Jiang Wuhen looking so serious, and Su Xiu’er did not argue with him like she usually did.
“It could be nothing, but I feel like someone is following us. You guys leave first, I will stay behind,” Jiang Wuhen said solemnly.
“Ah!” Su Xiu’er was taken aback. Now that she thought about it, something did feel off. At first, she thought she was imagining things, but now she knew that Jiang Wuhen had the same feeling too.
“I’m not too sure about it, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.” Jiang Wuhen looked even more serious.
“But with your cultivation… Forget it, let me stay.” Su Xiu’er decided that the most important thing was to send the things back to the sect first. If anything happened, it would be easier to escape alone, but it was a question of who would stay behind. With Jiang Wuhen’s current cultivation, he might not even have the chance to escape. It would be better for her to stay back.
“Xiu’er, trust me, nothing will happen,” Jiang Wuhen said slowly. Though she hadn’t said it out loud, how could Jiang Wuhen not understand what she was thinking? Despite being looked down on, Jiang Wuhen was not angry.
“No, you go back. I will stay behind,” Su Xiu’er protested stubbornly. The more Jiang Wuhen insisted, the more worried Su Xiu’er became. At such a critical time, this guy was still overestimating his abilities!
“Xiu’er, go back now!” Jiang Wuhen’s expression was fierce, and his serious tone brooked no argument.
