Chapter 438: I Want to Surpass Her On Her Pedestal
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Four people stood in what looked like an ordinary guestroom.
By the window, there was a man in a black robe. At the table in the middle were several young people wrapped in gauze. A man and a woman were watching them from the shadows.
However, no one noticed them.
Jiang Hao was quite surprised. This was Hong Yuyeâs doing. Even when they stood in the room in front of everyone, no one could see them.
He wondered if Hong Yuye used the same method to visit him.
But his perception was not bad, and they both had the Heaven Extinction Gu Poison. When they got close to each other, they were able to sense it.
âWeâre not friends yet, but we can be,â said Chi Tian said.
âWhat do you want to talk about, then?â Chu Chuan asked as he took a step back.
Jiang Hao saw that he was trying to get closer to the window. He was attempting to escape.
âIs it true that Chu Jie from the Bright Moon Sect is your childhood friend?â Chi Tian asked.
âChildhood friend?â Chu Chuan looked puzzled and then shook his head.
âSenior, are you mistaken? At most, weâre just from the same hometown.â
âI see⊠but I heard that you have a very close relationship with her. You even spent all your spirit stones to buy her a gift,â said Chi Tian. His tone suddenly turned hostile. âBut they insulted you. They called you a country bumpkin and took your hard-earned spirit stones. Even Chu Jie didnât speak up for you, did she? Doesnât she know your situation? Doesnât she know that in your sect, youâre just an ordinary disciple? Doesnât she know you only earn a few spirit stones a month? Does such a young woman deserve the gift that you bought her with all your spirit stones?â
Chu Chuan lowered his head. The words stung him.
âShe is the Bright Moon Sectâs prodigy. Sheâs different from you. She no longer cares about you. Perhaps, in her heart, youâre no longer worthy of her,â Chi Tian said.
âSo?â Chu Chuan asked.
âI can help you bring her down from her pedestal. I can help you make her suffer, and then you can go and comfort her. Women are at their most vulnerable when theyâre down, and thatâs the best time to win their hearts,â Chi Tian said.
Chu Chuan fell silent for a long time. âWhat if I refuse?â
âThen we canât be friends, but we wonât be enemies either. Iâll just turn around and leave. But you should think carefully. This is your only chance. If you donât seize it, there wonât be anyone in this world who will lift a finger to help you. No one will understand you,â Chi Tian said.
âWhy are you trying to help me?â Chu Chuan asked. âBecause we want to, thatâs all,â Chi Tian said.
âWe?â Chu Chuan was puzzled.
âYes. You can trust our strength,â Chi Tian said.
Chu Chuan looked at him. He was at the window now. He was searching for an opening to flee.
âIf I agree, what would I need to do?â he asked.
âItâs very simple. You just have to carry something with you and wait for our instructionsâŠâ Chi Tian hadnât finished speaking when Chu Chuan moved. He used his strongest force to hit the window.
With a bang, Chu Chuan bounced back.
Looking at Chu Chuan on the ground, Chi Tian sighed. âIt seems you donât trust me.â
âWhy should I trust you? Who even are you?â Since he couldnât escape, Chu Chuan did away with the pretense.
âDoes it really matter who I am? When you were insulted and pushed around, didnât you wish for someone to come to your aid? Do you really need to know who I am to accept my help?â Chi Tian asked.
âHelp me with what?â Chu Chuan looked at him.
âWould Chu Jie have taken you to buy something you couldnât afford if it wasnât just to humiliate you and show you your place?â Chi Tian asked.
âThatâs true⊠Chu Jie did take me to a shop where I couldnât afford anything. I couldnât even lift my head because of embarrassment,â said Chu Chuan.
âIsnât that just it?â Chi Tian said.
Chu Chuan shook his head. âI understand that everyone pities me, but I donât want pity. My senior brother did warn me. He explained everything to me so that I would be prepared before coming here. So, I understand that⊠things change. It might not be as you would imagine them to be. And you can only truly understand it after you experience it. The answer is clear to me now, more than it is to you, it seems.â
âWhat about the humiliation in that arena? Was that fake too?â Chi Tian asked.
Jiang Hao saw that he was trying to get closer to the window. He was attempting to escape.
âIt was real, ana 1 reit lt. many people mocKea me. 1 rememDer all or It very clearly. But I wonât be discouraged by it. I will fight for it, and one day, I will take back my dignity from them. I will surpass them and make them understand that todayâs humiliation will fall on them as well. No one should bully the poor or the weak.â Chu Chuanâs eyes burned with determination.
âAnd why would I bring down Chu Jie from her pedestal? I want to surpass her on her pedestal,â he said.
Chi Tian was stunned. He felt that this child was ignorant and foolish, even arrogant.
But he was deeply moved by Chu Chuanâs determination.
It seemed to remind him of his past. In the end, he didnât say anything and turned to leave.
Jiang Hao glanced at Chu Chuan and felt it was time to let him go.
Chu Chuan had stirred his Immortal Heart. In the future, he would definitely attract the attention of many powerful people.
The Cliff of Broken Hearts shouldnât hold him back.
After that, he left and caught up with Chi Tian.
âAre you going to just give up?â Jiang Hao caught up to him.
âWho are you?â Chi Tian stepped back.
He stared at the person in front of him. âLate stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm?â
The person seemed dangerous.
âYou donât need to concern yourself with who I am. Iâm just curious why you gave up on Chu Chuan just like that. I donât think The End of All Things would look down on him so much,â Jiang Hao said.
When he heard the name of the organization he belonged to, Chi Tian was stunned.
He thought of fleeing from there.
Once the information was leaked, he would undoubtedly face death. The Bright Moon Sect was currently trying to eliminate them everywhere they went. Getting close to the Bright Moon Sect was extremely dangerous.
âNo need to run. With your Golden Core Realm cultivation, you canât escape anyway,â Jiang Hao calmly said.
He had already mobilized all his power to prevent the person in front of him from fleeing or ending himself.
People from The End of All Things were capable of anything, so he couldnât be careless.
âWhat do you want?â Chi Tian asked.
âI just want to know why you spared Chu Chuan,â Jiang Hao said.
He was genuinely curious. He could have been used to harm Chu Jie.
âThereâs no reason for it. Foolish and ignorant people like him have no value,â Chi Tian said.
âIt seems like you donât really like talking about this. Well then, Iâll change the topic. Is the Earth Extreme Heart devouring Pearl on you?â Jiang Hao stared at him.
âI donât understand what youâre talking about. What pearl?â Chi Tian appeared completely bewildered.
Jiang Hao whispered, âLetâs make a deal. If you cooperate, I can let you go..â
