Chapter 224: Chapter 221: Song Jianjun ‘s Challenge_l

Translator: 549690339

In his eyes, it was an honor for Gu Mingyue to be his concubine. In theory, Gu Mingyue should be kneeling and begging him!

Song Jianjun was annoyed in his heart.

Their Chamber of Commerce had their rules.

In order to avoid being targeted by bandits and mountain thieves during their journey, their merchant group members did not bring their women with them.

Even if they did, there were very few. At most, there would only be a few.

This made him have no access to women for five days in a row, and he was already impatient.

When he saw Gu Mingyue’s serious and pretty face, he was naturally moved and wanted to have some fun in the carriage during the journey. His eyes naturally focused on Gu Mingyue, trying to find an opportunity to get her.

He thought that his status would be taken into consideration by Gu Mingyue and that if he made a move, she would be delighted.

But who would have thought that Gu Mingyue was completely indifferent.

He didn’t mind telling Gu Mingyue about his identity in the Song family, letting her know who he was. On normal days, when his title as the number one genius of the Song family was mentioned, countless maidservants would be enchanted. He didn’t believe that Gu Mingyue could resist!

But to his astonishment, Gu Mingyue was completely indifferent. On the contrary, she became even more annoyed and scolded, “My young master is not a waste, you are the waste. My young master is a genius!” “Haha, what did she say? She said this kid is a genius?”

“Hahaha, did I hear wrong? Can anyone be called a genius now?”

Song Jianjun also laughed, “You say he’s a genius? That’s good. It seems you’re blind. Let me tell you now, what a real genius is. I believe you’ll know later, how foolish it is to follow such a waste.”

After saying this, Song Jianjun looked at Yang Chen and sneered, “Kid, do you dare to compete with me?”

He believed that as long as he destroyed Yang Chen’s image in Gu Mingyue’s heart in front of her, Gu Mingyue would know how brilliant he was.

“Not interested.” Yang Chen yawned.

“Are you afraid?” Song Jianjun looked at Yang Chen arrogantly, and then glanced at Gu Mingyue, as if to tell her that their young master was afraid as well.

She didn’t know that Gu Mingyue didn’t take this Song Jianjun seriously at all.

Having followed her young master, what big event hadn’t she seen? Even the young master of the Liaocheng City Lord’s Mansion treated her young master with great respect. Was this young master of the Liaocheng Commerce Association even more powerful than the City Lord’s Mansion?

When Yang Chen heard Song Jianjun’s challenge, he smiled faintly, “Afraid? You’re overestimating yourself. In fact, you’re simply not worthy of me making a move. To put it simply, don’t even bother peeing to see what kind of person you are.”

“You!” Song Jianjun was furious.

A follower quickly advised, “Eldest Brother, don’t be angry. There are rules in the team, not to strike outsiders traveling with our group, or it will affect our Chamber of Commerce’s reputation. There will be plenty of chances to deal with this kid.”

This made Song Jianjun gradually calm down. Hearing the voices of several people whispering in his ears, the corners of his mouth raised.

That’s right, why was he in a hurry? There were plenty of opportunities to slowly kill this kid.

Song Jianjun sneered and threatened, “Let you be happy for a few more days.” Yang Chen grinned, completely unconcerned.

If it had been his usual temperament, he would not have let Song Jianjun humiliate him. But things were different now. For one thing, he didn’t want to cause trouble and reveal any clues to the Ming Emperor Sect. Secondly, and most importantly, he wanted to test Song Chen.

At this moment, Song Chen was quite shocked. He originally thought that the genius he admired and worshipped would be courteous to him, but he didn’t expect that the genius he thought of would be just like those who humiliated him. This was a major blow to anyone.

If Yang Chen had made a move just now, Song Chen’s experience of this blow would have been nothing.lf he didn’t act, Song Chen’s inner struggle would become more serious.

For an alchemist, a strong mind is the most important thing.

That unwavering self-confidence is something that an alchemist must possess.

He was testing whether Song Chen could come out of the gloom he had just experienced.

“Hm?” Yang Chen raised an eyebrow.

Song Chen didn’t disappoint him.

Seeing Song Chen walking towards himself, Yang Chen smiled lightly, “So, have you figured it out?”

“Big Brother Yang Chen, I want to be a powerful one, but I don’t want to become like Song Jianjun. Do the powerful ones really have to suppress the weak ones in order to be considered powerful?” Song Chen was still young and naturally, couldn’t understand many things.

“Song Jianjun doesn’t even qualify as a powerful one.” Yang Chen said gently.

True powerful ones would not prove themselves to be powerful by suppressing others. Using the term ‘powerful’ on Song Chen? That would be an insult to the powerful ones.

“But can I really become a powerful one?” Song Chen was filled with self-doubt.

Yang Chen grinned: “Strength depends on the heart. If you understand this, one day you will achieve it.”

Song Chen furrowed his brow, savoring Yang Chen’s words.

Another four days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these four days, Song Jianjun surprisingly didn’t harass Yang Chen and Gu Mingyue. However, Yang Chen didn’t believe that Song Jianjun would give up so easily, guessing that the other party was planning to make a move on him after they entered MO City.

He didn’t pay any attention to the other party, concentrating on his cultivation while following the pace of the caravan.

“After tonight, we’ll reach MO City tomorrow, everyone stay alert.” The Sixth

Level Spirit Martial Realm master who was leading the caravan stood at the front, spreading out his soul, patrolling vigilantly, and said, “The closer we get to MO City, the more bandits there are, so don’t slack off!”

The people in the caravan had years of experience in wandering through the jianghu, and no one would take the leader’s words lightly.

And so, as night fell and the moon hung high in the sky.

Gu Mingyue was resting in the carriage, while Yang Chen sat on a haystack outside, meditating and cultivating. Comparatively, Song Chen was much more miserable. He had no status in the Song family, so while others were either riding horses or sitting in carriages, he had been walking the whole way.

For someone like Song Chen who had no martial arts cultivation foundation, such a long journey was no doubt challenging, but to Yang Chen’s delight, Song Chen had indeed persevered.

Moreover, with Song Chen’s Body of Capturing Souls, Yang Chen couldn’t help but admire his talent.

He took out a jade slip and carved an Alchemy Treasure Technique on it with his finger, his lips curling up. Regardless, it was fate that Song Chen met him.

As his thoughts were swirling, suddenly, Yang Chen let out a soft exclamation: “Rainbow, you said someone is approaching?”

“Yes, a large group of people and horses, seems like the bandits mentioned by the leader. The leader of them is also at the Sixth Level of the Spirit Martial Realm, and the others are not too impressive, only around the Fourth Level of the Spirit Martial Realm’s cultivation. However, looking at the numbers, if they launch a strong attack, this caravan will surely suffer heavy losses!” Rainbow said cheerfully, not really concerned about it.

With the Black Mountain Black Bear and the Demonic Python on their side, those at the Fifth and Sixth Level of the Spirit Martial Realm didn’t pose much of a problem..
