The Brilliant Fighting Master

Jiang Chen looked at the woman in silence until her mood recovered, and she sat back once again in her former place.

“Miss Xuan Qing, have you ever heard about the saying, having an intimate talk with a stranger? We got acquainted less than an hour ago. Yet, you have entrusted me with everything.”

“Moreover, how can you be sure that I wasn’t also someone who was arranged in your life?”

When Xuan Qing heard these words, she was taken aback. Such a reaction proved that everything she had said was true. She hadn’t mixed any lies among her claims.

“It’s because I listened to what you said a while ago about being free to say what you wanted. The people who had come here with a purpose wouldn’t say that,” Xuan Qing said earnestly.

“It was just because of this?” Jiang Chen stared at her attentively so that he wouldn’t miss any details.

“That’s right, I trust my own intuition,” Xuan Qing nodded and stated this emphatically.

Jiang Chen became silent for a long while and stopped acting like he would leave at any moment.

“Why don’t you state what you want?” Jiang Chen said.

Xuan Qing understood that she had won his trust, and that was why her expression became filled with excitement. She considered this matter for a while before she spoke slowly and informed him of everything. She wanted to free herself from her current fate, and she wanted to go far away from the world designed for her by other people.

If she wanted to achieve this matter, she would obviously have to accompany Jiang Chen.

“You want to depend upon my influence?” Jiang Chen frowned.

She wouldn’t have taken such actions for Jiang Chen alone. It was obvious that she had settled on the power of a Sovereign such as Xiao Ruo.

After such a brief conversation, Xuan Qing had realized that Jiang Chen was a clever person, and that was why she chose not to hide anything. She admitted everything openly!

“You will announce to the world that you will leave the Demon Slayer Palace with me. But what will I get from this?”

“I know the Demonic Abyss like the back of my hand, while I’m also at the Martial Saint Realm, and I can help you find the Monster Clan’s Young Sovereign.”

Xuan Qing knew that Jiang Chen would raise this question, and that was why she managed to reply so smoothly.

Jiang Chen smiled and stood up. He said, “I will become your shield, and I will face many powerful enemies for you. Yet, all I get will be this? I’m sorry, I can’t accept it.”

Xuan Qing had sought him to carry out a deal that would make him suffer grave losses. This woman was too insincere.

Upon seeing that Jiang Chen would shortly leave, Xuan Qing panicked and left her seat. She quickly strode toward him.

“I will give you everything I have, so please help me,” Xuan Qing’s eyes were tearful. She seemed lovely and pitiful, and anyone would take pity on her.

“The issue is that you don’t have anything I want.”

Even though Xuan Qing was a Demon Slayer Palace disciple, and even a core disciple, what she possessed still wouldn’t be on a par with the Heavenly Palace’s Master.

Xuan Qing became flustered, and she closed in on Jiang Chen. When she saw that he still wasn’t going to stop, she wrapped her arms around his arm.

Jiang Chen smelled a sweet fragrance, and, when he got to look at this woman at a close distance, his heart couldn’t help but beat faster.

“Miss Xuan Qing, please respect yourself. I can’t accept this deal carelessly.”

“I can give you anything you want,” Xuan Qing clenched her teeth, while her pretty face became flushed. She seemed so beautiful!

“Isn’t this against your original wishes?” Jiang Chen spoke in mockery.

“The Heavenly Bestowal Woman can also have a companion,” When Xuan Qing reached the last word, her voice became so low that it couldn’t be heard.

Jiang Chen was taken aback, and, when he pondered it, he realized that it was the case. His first impression of this matter was the strongest, and, if it was really like this, it wouldn’t have been possible for him to be with Xue’er.

“You can get everything you want, but you still mustn’t obstruct me from flying freely,” Xuan Qing said in a low voice.

Jiang Chen shook his head and let out a sigh.

“You should have seen the Venerable Hong Yun.”

“What do you mean?” Xuan Qing couldn’t understand why he had mentioned her.

“What do you think of her appearance?”

“She’s so beautiful,” Xuan Qing didn’t need to give this matter careful consideration, because, regardless of the Venerable Hong Yun’s prestige, it was obvious that she was a stunning beauty.

Jiang Chen used the Water Conception to condense several people’s images with water. They were Tianyin, his senior sister, as well as Xue’er.

“What about them?” Jiang Chen spoke once again.

The images condensed from water weren’t too clear, but one could get a rough idea about them.

“They are also beautiful!” As Xuan Qing looked at them one by one, her pretty face turned slightly pale.

Every one of those three women was more beautiful than the other, and it was especially the case for the icy beauty, as she was prettier than Xuan Qing.

It could be said that Xuan Qing was confident that she could contend against the Venerable Hong Yun when it came to looks, but when she faced this woman, she could only feel ashamed of her inferiority.

“They are all my women. So do you think I will still be captivated by women’s charms?” Jiang Chen was slightly angry.

Xuan Qing loosened her grip on him. She had already realized that she didn’t have much hope.

“Thank you,” Xuan Qing said suddenly.

“What?” Jiang Chen was bewildered by this.

“It was possible for you to deceive me and get my body before rejecting me. But you haven’t done that, and it demonstrates that I didn’t misjudge you. It’s a pity that I don’t have anything that can tempt you.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen gave this matter careful consideration.

“I will give you an answer on the Mysterious Gate’s opening day,” Jiang Chen didn’t reject her bluntly and left her a glimmer of hope.

Jiang Chen left then the courtyard and went back to his residence.

At night, Jiang Chen tossed around restlessly, and he couldn’t calm down. His reason was dissuading him against doing anything that would make trouble for him. A great conspiracy was surely hidden behind this as it involved the Empyrean Goddess’s descendants.

When the time came, Jiang Chen wouldn’t even know how he ended up dead.

The reason why Jiang Chen was hesitating over this wasn’t that he coveted her beauty and it also wasn’t because he found her pitiful, as even if he sympathized with her, he wouldn’t go out of his way to help her.

There were many pitiful people in the world. So how could he help them all?”

Jiang Chen just felt that she didn’t deserve such treatment.

The Empyrean Goddess was the Xuanhuan Realm’s last divine king, and she had put an end to the Demon Clan’s riot, while she had still left behind peerless magical techniques, before she broke through the void and traveled to other worlds.

In his previous life, the creature Jiang Chen wanted to see the most was a dragon, while the person he respected the most was the Empyrean Goddess.

At that time, he broke the great formation spell left behind by the Empyrean Goddess, and he was subdued by her great attainments in that field. It must be known that while Jiang Chen engrossed himself fully in formations’ fields, the Empyrean Goddess had to train hard to get such shocking power, and formations weren’t her strong point

Who would have imagined that the Empyrean Goddess’s descendants would suffer such a bitter fate?

Many experts coveted them because they might have a Heavenly Bestowal Woman among them, and they set up many flawless ploys because they didn’t dare to use force.

Even if Xuan Qing announced all this to the public, no one would believe her because everything was only Xuan Qing’s assumptions, and one couldn’t rule out the possibility that she was suffering from a delusional disorder.

“Empyrean Goddess.”

Jiang Chen gradually calmed down because he had already come up with an answer. He decided to help Xuan Qing for the Empyrean Goddess who had made such great contributions to the Xuanhuan Realm.

However, Jiang Chen still wouldn’t make an all-out effort, and he wouldn’t sacrifice his life to help her. He would only do what was possible for her, and, if he ran into something he couldn’t deal with, he would give up.

After four days, it was finally the Mysterious Gate’s opening day.

The plaza where the Mysterious Gate was located was filled with people, and the Demon Slayer Palace disciples were keeping order.

The core disciple Xuan Qing was among them. She was anxious and wasn’t as composed as on the previous days. Worry was apparent on her face, and anyone who saw her would feel pity for her.

It was fortunate that Jiang Chen was always on time. He came early to the plaza and walked toward Xuan Qing.

Some people noticed where Jiang Chen was walking, and their gazes became filled with surprise. Everyone was aware that Miss Xuan Qing was like a fairy above mortals, and she would rarely pay attention to people of unknown origins. Wasn’t Jiang Chen just inviting trouble upon himself?

“What do you want to do? You should distance yourself from Miss Xuan Qing,” Prince Feng Yu emerged suddenly and obstructed Jiang Chen’s path with a provocative look plastered on his face.
