"Young Master Jiang, you..."
Chen Jingxuan gave a bitter smile, his gaze complex as he looked at Jiang Chen. "There are only a few on the Changlang Continent, and in the past century, only four have appeared. Aside from you, the other three are all still at the Semi Divine Infant Realm. However, the other three only sensed the Great Dao Aura at the Unification Realm Peak and could only perform Dao attacks after reaching the Semi Divine Infant Realm. This..."
"Even the Son of Heavenly Dao has different levels. It's said that on the Origin Continent, located at the center of the Void Nether Realm, there's a Son of Heavenly Dao who could perform Dao attacks in the later stage of the Unification Realm, but still later by one level compared to Young Master Jiang."
Yun Tao spoke softly.
Jiang Chen nodded, a knowing look in his eyes.
"Young Jiang."
The Wine-crazed Sword Emperor withdrew his laugh, a broad smile spreading across his face as he directly approached Jiang Chen. Full of anticipation, he said, "Why not join our Changlin Academy?"
"Ah?"
Jiang Chen was momentarily stunned. This invitation came a bit too abruptly, but after thinking about it, he understood.
"Senior, how can this be? Young Master Jiang first came to our Heavenly Sword Sect for the entrance assessment!"
Chen Jingxuan was startled and hastily spoke in defense.
"You have the gall to mention that?"
The Wine-crazed Sword Emperor glared at Chen Jingxuan. "Your ridiculous assessment nearly got Young Jiang killed, leaving him in this state. How dare you bring that up? Moreover, can your small Heavenly Sword Sect truly look after Young Jiang?"
"I..."
Chen Jingxuan showed a defiant look, arguing based on reason: "Our Heavenly Sword Sect may not compare to the Changlin Academy, but..."
"But what? Find someone from your Heavenly Sword Sect capable of defeating me, and I'll immediately drop the invitation to Young Jiang. Do you have such a person in your sect?"
The Wine-crazed Sword Emperor widened his eyes, staring fiercely at Chen Jingxuan.
Chen Jingxuan was left speechless, rendered senseless by the rebuttal!
There were only three in the Unity Realm Stage in the entire Heavenly Sword Sect, and they were merely in the early stage of the Unity Realm Stage. Chen Jingxuan already knew who the elderly man in front of him was — one of the four top experts of the Changlin Academy, the mid-stage Unity Realm Stage's Madman of the South.
Forget about finding just one person; even if everyone in the Heavenly Sword Sect joined forces, they might not be able to defeat him!
Unsure how to argue, Chen Jingxuan turned, seeking help from Zhang Sanfeng.
Zhang Sanfeng glanced upward, feigning indifference. The Dragon Descendant does not require the arrangements of others as he is sure to make his own decisions.
Seeing no response from Zhang Sanfeng, Chen Jingxuan glared at Yun Tao, his eyes seeming to implore Yun Tao, indicating that if they were still brothers, Yun Tao should immediately come to his aid. Otherwise, they would no longer have brotherly ties!
Yun Tao rolled his eyes, speaking gently: "Master, Jingxuan, no matter how much you argue, what's the point? It ultimately depends on whether Young Master Jiang is willing!"
Chen Jingxuan was momentarily stunned, then turned to look at Jiang Chen: "Young Master Jiang, Miss Lin is currently at the Heavenly Sword Sect. She's been thinking of you."
"Miss Lin? Which Miss Lin? Lin Yuyan?"
The Wine-crazed Sword Emperor became a bit flustered. From time immemorial, heroes have been unable to resist beauty. He wasn't sure about Jiang Chen's feelings for Lin Yuyan, but he knew they had saved each other's lives. If feelings were to develop between them...
The Wine-crazed Sword Emperor nervously watched Jiang Chen, holding his breath.
"Young Master Chen, my relationship with Miss Lin is not as you think."
Jiang Chen smiled lightly, "The Heavenly Sword Sect... May I ask what the Heavenly Sword Sect plans to do?"
"They will forgive and forget!"
Chen Jingxuan responded quickly.
"What do you mean forgive and forget? It wasn't Young Jiang's fault in the first place!"
The Wine-crazed Sword Emperor seized the opportunity to interject.
"Young Master Jiang, back in the grand hall... your foster father even suppressed Deputy Sect Master Tang for your sake! As long as you join the Heavenly Sword Sect, you'll surely receive the best treatment."
Ignoring the Wine-crazed Sword Emperor's comments, Chen Jingxuan recounted the incident in the grand hall, offering heartfelt persuasion to Jiang Chen.
As Chen Jingxuan's words concluded, Zhang Sanfeng furrowed his eyebrows, a hint of concern flashing across his eyes.
"We can do that too!"
The Wine-crazed Sword Emperor chimed in, "Young Jiang, if you join our Changlin Academy, you can choose any training resources you want! Our Changlin Academy is far superior to the Heavenly Sword Sect, with more abundant training resources and Enlightenment Grounds!"
Hearing this, Chen Jingxuan appeared anxious again. When it came to these things, their Heavenly Sword Sect indeed couldn't compare to Changlin Academy.
Thinking quickly, Chen Jingxuan argued nervously: "Senior, that's not right. All the resources of Changlin Academy belong to the academy, and the academy values fairness and justice. All resources must be fought for by the students themselves. This has been the founding principle of Changlin Academy. How can you simply give any resource Young Master Jiang wants?"
"I... this... I say he can have it, so he can!"
The Wine-crazed Sword Emperor was at a loss for words, his face flushed red with frustration, shouting obstinately.
"Gentlemen, let me speak first."
Jiang Chen spoke softly.
Whoosh whoosh!
Two gusts of wind blew past as the Wine-crazed Sword Emperor and Chen Jingxuan abruptly turned their heads to look at Jiang Chen, stirring the breeze around them.
"I cannot go to the Heavenly Sword Sect!"
Jiang Chen apologized as he looked at Chen Jingxuan.
"Why? Young Master Jiang, your foster father..."
Chen Jingxuan's expression changed, speaking quickly.
"Why not? No reason! I just won't go!" The Wine-crazed Sword Emperor pulled Chen Jingxuan aside, interrupting him.
Jiang Chen chuckled, "Young Master Chen, you seem inexperienced with the world."
"Ah?"
Chen Jingxuan was momentarily confused, looking at Jiang Chen with uncertainty.
Jiang Chen glanced at Zhang Sanfeng, who gently shook his head.
Understanding, Jiang Chen looked at Chen Jingxuan with a complex expression: "Being the foster son of the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect... who knows if it's a blessing or a curse for you!"
Pausing, Jiang Chen continued, "Jingxuan, having helped me twice, I am willing to be your friend. I won't go to the Heavenly Sword Sect, but I'll give you some advice: when the day comes that you find your foster father different from before, leave the Heavenly Sword Sect immediately!"
"Young Master Jiang, no... Jiang Chen, what do you mean by that?"
Chen Jingxuan furrowed his eyebrows tightly, staring intently into Jiang Chen's eyes.
Jiang Chen gently shook his head: "I can't explain it to you now. I just hope you promise not to report today's events back, as if you didn't find me. Can you do that?"
"Well... very well!"
Chen Jingxuan nodded, no longer pressing Jiang Cheng.
In his view, Jiang Chen wanted to avoid further harassment by the Heavenly Sword Sect. Moreover, the Heavenly Sword Sect indeed lacked the ability to safeguard Jiang Chen.
The emergence of a Son of Heavenly Dao could have significant impacts.
It might attract overwhelming public attention!
