Chapter 58: Freedom Is Priceless

When Chen Jinshi spoke, his tone was very calm, but it was filled with an unyielding sense of authority.He wasn’t discussing with Su Jingzhen, but rather issuing a command.

As soon as his voice fell, all the guests present immediately quieted down again.

Their eyes all had a hint of excitement.

With Chen Jinshi personally taking action, the real show was about to begin.

They wanted to see how Su Jingzhen would respond to Chen Jinshi’s words.

At this time, Feng Qingya and Luo Yuebai, who were not far from Chen Jinshi, also had a hint of curiosity in their expressions.

“It seems that the Chen family is not as powerful as we thought. Does such a small matter require the person with the highest status at present to come forward?”

Luo Yuebai smiled slightly and whispered.

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingya also laughed, “Indeed, it’s quite interesting. I’m also curious about what Su Jingzhen’s final reliance is. Judging from his demeanor, he shouldn’t be a complete fool.”

Feng Qingya and the others didn’t intentionally pay attention, but they knew that Su Jingzhen’s previous performances were all intentional.

On the other side, Yan Xia and her father, Yan Chixiong, were also watching with curiosity from a distance.

Today’s Yan Xia was dressed up, and her natural beauty was already outstanding. She had added a few more touches of elegance, making her a stunning sight.

Although she couldn’t compare to Feng Qingya, who was sitting in the center, she was still a beautiful scenery.

At this time, she looked at Chen Jinshi, who was exuding an aura of calm authority, and her eyes had a hint of admiration.

In her opinion, this was the kind of person who should be her ideal partner.

If her husband was someone like this, she would be willing to be his concubine.

Yan Xia thought to herself.

One of the reasons she had followed her father here was for this.

Originally, she wanted to find an opportunity to get close to Chen Jinshi, but after Feng Qingya appeared, she realized she wasn’t worthy and didn’t dare to take the initiative.

Feng Qingya’s identity and her captivating aura were not something Yan Xia could compare to.

She thought she could only wait for another opportunity.

However, seeing Su Jingzhen suddenly jump out and confront the Chen family, she was still a bit surprised.

Yan Xia’s mouth curved into a cold smile: “He’s just a clown, thinking that standing out like this will make him popular.”

“But, that requires a price to be paid.”

Yan Xia was familiar with the cruelty of the cultivation world.

At this moment, it seemed to her that Su Jingzhen wouldn’t have a good ending.

Thinking of this, her heart felt a hint of pleasure.

The encounter on the street that day, seeing Su Jingzhen and his wife seemingly in love, had left Yan Xia feeling quite unhappy.

Everyone’s attention was focused on the scene.

Su Jingzhen’s smile still had a hint of faint amusement.

Chen Jinshi’s direct and overbearing attitude was exactly what Su Jingzhen had in mind.

He laughed again: “I, Su, have heard a phrase: life is precious, but freedom is even more valuable. If it’s for freedom, both can be abandoned. I’m used to being free and don’t want to be controlled by anyone. Enlightenment School is my means of survival, and if I join Cuiliu Alley Academy, it’s no different from killing me.”

As soon as Su Jingzhen’s words fell, the scene fell into silence again.

Su Jingzhen only saw the golden words flashing in front of him again.

This response was directed at Chen Jinshi, but he didn’t expect it to trigger a double hit from Shuang Jiang’s side.

This was an unexpected surprise.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at Shuang Jiang.

He saw a hint of brightness in the other’s eyes.

“This guy, he actually dared to directly refuse.”

“But, what does this mean? Is freedom more important than life? Isn’t this implying that Su Jingzhen is willing to die for his principles today? Maybe Chen Jinshi will really give him a death sentence.”

“Heh heh, truly fearless.”

“Tomorrow, Chen Jinshi will be promoted to an inner disciple of Huayang Sect. If the inner sect disciples of Huayang Sect want to kill an early stage of Qi Refining, they can make up any reason, and the rules of Huayang Sect cannot restrain them.”

“This Su Jingzhen is still young and doesn’t understand the true rules of the cultivation world, where the strong prey on the weak.”

“…….”

Although everyone present was shocked by Su Jingzhen’s words, which seemed to contain great philosophical meaning, it was precisely because of his low cultivation level that his words sounded arrogant and foolish.

In the central position, Zhang Hong’s smile had disappeared, and he looked at Su Jingzhen with a slightly furrowed brow.

In the eyes of the two, since Chen Jinshi had already taken personal action, it was already giving Su Jingzhen face.

It was best to stop here, lest it escalate into a life-or-death situation.

Although it wouldn’t be a big deal, they would still have some trouble.

As for Feng Qingya and Luo Yuebai, their eyes still had a thoughtful expression.

They were quietly reciting Su Jingzhen’s words from earlier.

It seemed like they were savoring the taste, and their faces were getting more and more surprised.

Some words naturally had a certain rhythm, which could touch people’s hearts.

Ordinary cultivators could only understand the surface meaning, so they would only mock.

Combined with the fragrance of the pill that he smelled that night, Luo Yuebai’s heart was already certain about some things.

Luo Yuebai’s eyes shone brighter, Daoist Su, you’re really hiding something deep…

As for Chen Jinshi, the main character at this time, his face had turned gloomy.

He had always been filled with absolute self-confidence.

He had never taken Su Jingzhen seriously, although he knew about Chen Chong’s plan to merge Linjiang City Academy.

But he had never put it in his heart, his pride did not allow him to focus on a Qi Refining stage cultivator.

So he thought that as long as he spoke, these troublesome matters would be easily resolved.

He had never thought that he would be refused by a Qi Refining stage cultivator.

While he was intrigued, he was still angry in his heart.

“Does Daoist Su mean that you’re willing to give up your life for Peach Blossom Alley’s Enlightenment School?”

As Chen Jinshi said this, his mouth curved into a mocking smile.

A Qi Refining stage cultivator dared to pretend in front of him, so he didn’t mind letting him seek death!

His words caused the people around him to feel a hint of hidden killing intent.

Feng Qingya and Luo Yuebai couldn’t help but look at him, their eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Su Jingzhen smiled: “In life, there are always some things that must be insisted upon.”

“If one can’t even guard the bottom line in their heart, what’s the difference between them and a domesticated animal?”

Su Jingzhen’s response was still extremely calm.

Unwavering, with a strong sense of justice!

Seeing the point change, Su Jingzhen’s smile grew thicker.

It seemed that the heavens were increasingly satisfied with him.

Excluding the points needed to open the Surging Spring hole, he still had 77 points left. Seaʀᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Wonderful!

At this time, his gaze towards Chen Jinshi also had a hint of disdain.

He couldn’t help but have a provocative intention.
