Chapter 52

Cang Wu was not one to give face lightly, thinking, “You say you’re first, so you’re first? Who’s giving you face!”

“Why don’t you two fight first, and then the winner can fight me?” Jiang Chen suggested with a smile upon seeing the two arguing.

Pure Yang Holy Son immediately agreed, saying, “I think this suggestion is quite good! I said the same thing before, but unfortunately, these two didn’t make a move!” While speaking, Pure Yang Holy Son sighed with regret.

“You’re the same as before, still a troublemaker!” Jiang Chen glanced at Pure Yang Holy Son. This guy was different from the usual prodigies; his mind was wild, and he never shied away from stirring up trouble.

Always adding fuel to the fire, commonly known as a troublemaker! It turns out this guy also killed a villain. His relationship with Jiang Chen was not bad. In the original plot, because of his troublemaking nature, he had several conflicts with Du Guyun and was ultimately killed by Du Guyun!

“You’re the troublemaker!” Pure Yang Holy Son looked dissatisfied. What was this, calling him a troublemaker?

Wasn’t he just making the situation more intense, making it more entertaining for the others? Otherwise, given these people’s personalities, they wouldn’t fight for half a day, which would be boring to death.

Jiang Chen ignored him, heading towards the Mystical Bird Pavilion. He didn’t want to bother with these people. Although fights were expected at a gathering of prodigies, they were here for a banquet after all. The fighting could wait until later! Moreover, these people weren’t worth his effort. Not interesting at all.

“Still as boring as before!” Seeing Jiang Chen ignore him, Pure Yang Holy Son felt bored himself and followed Jiang Chen into the Mystical Bird Pavilion. The rest, seeing Jiang Chen move, naturally followed.

Soon, only Cang Wu and Jin Changhe were left staring at each other. But when they saw everyone else had gone, they too followed suit. Upon entering the top floor of the pavilion, a delicate lolita blinked her curious eyes at Jiang Chen.

“You’re Jiang Chen? You don’t look anything special. I thought you had some unique abilities!” Qin Yao said, showing a look of disappointment.

“Love brain Qin Yao? It must be her, Qin Ershi’s sister, and indeed silly and cute without much brain!”

“Although she looks very cute, a natural lolita, it’s a pity that she’s not too bright. Later, she even caused trouble for Qin Ershi for Du Guyun, nearly destroying his foundation, preventing further progress!”

“If I were Qin Ershi and had such a sister, I’d definitely spank her for a month. Too dumb!” Jiang Chen said in a low voice, his eyebrows playfully raised.

He was not unfamiliar with Qin Yao. Because Qin Yao was quite a distinctive female lead. A very dumb and cute lolita, though currently young and looking somewhat smaller.

However, even as she grew older, to maintain the impression in Du Guyun’s heart, she deliberately did not grow up. This left Jiang Chen with nothing but exasperation to express.

This Qin Yao is truly a love-struck fool. Ever since she fell for Du Guyun, putting him above all else, even Qin Ershi has been dragged into trouble by Qin Yao several times.

There was even one instance that almost caused Qin Ershi’s foundation to shatter. Despite this, Qin Ershi didn’t overly blame Qin Yao…

This is only because Qin Ershi adores his sister, sparing her any punishment. If it were Jiang Chen, he probably would have executed her.

Buzz.

Hearing these words, Qin Yao’s eyes widened, extremely annoyed! Who is calling her love brain? Wait, what does love brain even mean? And how could she possibly harm her beloved brother for the so-called Du Guyun?

To her, her brother is the most important person. She could never harm her brother or almost cause his foundation to shatter! This is slander.

“She can hear the inner thoughts?” Yan Ruyu’s eyes sparkled, accustomed to Jiang Chen’s inner voice. And after hearing Jiang Chen’s words, she became very interested in Qin Yao.

But she didn’t expect Qin Yao to show such significant reactions, seemingly having heard Jiang Chen being talked about behind his back. With this realization, Yan Ruyu’s gaze flickered, wondering if Qin Yao too could hear Jiang Chen’s inner voice.

Could Qin Yao be one of the female leads as well? After interacting with Jiang Chen for many days, Yan Ruyu got a rough understanding through him that their world exists within a book. The so-called Du Guyun is the protagonist, and they are the female leads.

Initially, Yan Ruyu found it absurd, but subsequent events made her a firm believer. She also knew that Jiang Chen was aware of the future plotlines, essentially knowing the future!

“If Qin Yao can hear, does that mean Ye Qingcheng can too? Does that mean Ye Qingcheng has known all along that Jiang Chen has been calling her a dumb woman behind her back?”

With these thoughts, Yan Ruyu smiled, finding the situation increasingly amusing. If Ye Qingcheng knew from the start, why didn’t she say anything? No wonder Ye Qingcheng ignored Du Guyun; so this was the reason! Suddenly, Yan Ruyu understood.

Seeing Qin Yao about to speak, Yan Ruyu was about to stop her when Qin Ershi walked in, saying, “Jiang Chen, this is my sister, Qin Yao. She’s young and thoughtless, and if she has offended you in any way, please forgive her!”

Qin Ershi’s attitude was still very courteous. Moreover, he knew his sister well, hence the reminder.

“It’s alright! Kids are fine!” Jiang Chen said with a light smile, even patting Qin Yao on the head. “Mischievous children, everyone knows how they are!”

‘But this Qin Yao isn’t just any mischievous child, Qin Ershi will have his hands full with her in the future! Still, I’d better keep my distance from this one. Though she has no evil intentions, the antics of a mischievous child can be annoying and sometimes unavoidable!’

Who is calling her a mischievous child?

Qin Yao’s heart exploded with rage. She had never heard anyone dare to speak of her in such terms. Love-brain fool, mischievous child—these were blatant insults.

She was so angry she could die; if not for her brother’s presence, she truly wanted to bite Jiang Chen to death. At this moment, Qin Yao was seething with anger, desperately wanting to hit someone.

Jiang Chen, however, paid no mind to Qin Yao’s change in expression. ‘Hmm. Mischievous children are like this.’

Seeing Jiang Chen again implying she was a mischievous child, Qin Yao couldn’t hold back anymore and was about to speak when suddenly, Yan Ruyu stepped forward, her smile blooming like a flower towards Qin Yao.

“Little princess, it’s our first meeting! My name is Yan Ruyu. I wonder if the little princess has heard of me!”

Hearing this, Qin Yao looked at Yan Ruyu with pride and a hint of disdain, huffing: “In recent times, you becoming Jiang Chen’s follower has almost spread throughout the entire Nine Heavens Realm. Who hasn’t heard of you!”

Because of Jiang Chen, Qin Yao did not show a friendly face to Yan Ruyu.

“It seems the little princess can also hear the Holy Son’s inner voice!”

“I, like you, can hear the Holy Son’s inner voice!” Yan Ruyu thought for a moment and then directly laid her cards on the table, albeit through soul transmission, so Jiang Chen couldn’t hear them.

Jiang Chen and Qin Ershi were chatting and didn’t pay attention to the two of them.

“You mean what was just said is his inner voice!” Qin Yao’s eyes widened, as if she just realized what was happening.

Seizing the opportunity, Yan Ruyu took Qin Yao aside. “Yes, what was just said is the Holy Son’s inner voice! Only a few can hear it!” Yan Ruyu pondered for a moment, considering whether to fully disclose everything to Qin Yao.

But thinking of Qin Yao and Qin Ershi’s personalities, she realized revealing this could cause significant trouble for Jiang Chen.

“Why can I hear his inner voice!” Qin Yao was extremely curious. Only now did she fully grasp that Jiang Chen’s derogatory remarks were his inner thoughts.

Hmph, the despicable Jiang Chen. To dare speak of her like that behind her back. Calling her a love brain fool, a mischievous child, and even blaming her for her brother’s mishaps. Truly disgusting.
