“Hey junior, I think you will stand out amongst the new disciples. You’re truly impressive. Even though I am your senior, I admire your great talent.”

A young man in purple clothes smiled while standing in front of Yan Qingcheng with folded arms. He was tall and slim, good looking, confident and charming.

“I don’t even know you.”

After Yan Qingcheng finished her words, she tried to turn and walk away but she was stopped by the young man.

“Why are you doing this to me? We will never know each other if there is no interaction between us. For our journey in the world of cultivation, I would like to take you with me. Are you willing to come along with me?”

The purple-clothed young man said smilingly.

“I am not interested at all.”

Yan Qingcheng said coldly. She did not show any respect to the young man. After Yan Qingcheng finished speaking, the youth’s face contorted white with rage. This new disciple did not show him respect at all. He would’ve not appreciated her talent if she was not good-looking. In the Profound Connection Divine Palace, only talented people would be appreciated. Those without talent were fated to be spurned and ignored by others. Even if one was good looking, that was merely considered a good qualification. The real cultivators would regard strength as the most important thing beyond everything else.

There were very few female cultivators. If they could not find someone to back them up in the Profound Connection Divine Palace, they would easily be pushed out of the place. There was nothing special about having a charming appearance and one could even change one’s appearance after reaching a certain level. Hence, one could never get everything with beauty alone. In the experts’ eyes, women were considered no different from men.

At this moment, the young man and the more than ten Mid Divine King experts at his side blocked Yan Qingcheng’s way. All of them remained silent, and dared not to speak out. The new disciples were relatively quiet compared to the old disciples.

“Damn it, it’s him!”

Gu Maolu said under his breath, looking serious and solemn. Apparently, this guy was a troublemaker.

“Jiang Chen, she is……”

“She is my woman.”

Jiang Chen said seriously.

“Oh really? But it seems like she treats you coldly.”

Gu Maolu was staring at Jiang Chen. He’s filled with doubt, while Jiang Chen was certain and serious. However, Gu Maolu knew well that Jiang Chen was not a person who liked to make these kinds of jokes.

“I will never let you die peacefully if you are thinking of offending her.”

Jiang Chen wore a faint smile on his face, but his smile was extremely cold and gloomy.

“Do you know who he is? Jiang Chen, you need to be cautious.”

Gu Maolu murmured in a low voice.

“Liu Yingfeng, what are you doing? Are you trying to bully the new disciples? How could you do such a meaningless thing?”

Gu Maolu stood up for Jiang Chen when he saw his cold expression. It would only put Jiang Chen in a disadvantageous position if he got into trouble with Liu Yingfeng.

“Humph. It’s not your turn to speak, Gu Maolu. Stop criticizing and telling me what to do.”

Liu Yingfeng said in a low voice.

“Haha. You’re speaking elegantly but what you did is beneath contempt. A real hero will never embarrass a lady.”

Gu Maolu went on.

“Then what are you going to do with me? Do you think that you can stop me? Stop getting above yourself.”

Liu Yingfeng stood toe to toe with Gu Maolu .

“You like me, don’t you? I don’t want to see them, just throw them out of here.”

Yan Qingcheng was staring at Jiang Chen wonderingly.

“Alright!”

Jiang Chen nodded.

Liu Yingfeng could understand why Gu Maolu stood up for this, but he wondered who this guy was. It seemed that everyone was trying to offend him and pick a fight with him today.

“Wow, even the new disciples are getting above themselves now? Who do you think you are, kid? Do you really consider yourself as a hero who could save the damsel in distress?”

Liu Yingfeng glared at Jiang Chen once again.

“I am your forefather.”

Jiang Chen said seriously.

Even the old disciples who stood behind Liu Yingfeng were startled.

“I think you are really tired of living. I will teach you a lesson about what a new disciple is supposed to do.”

Liu Yingfeng said and gave Jiang Chen a ferocious glare.

“Jiang Chen is not inferior to me. He is my brother and one of the disciples who is ranked on the Heaven Ascension List. Is it worthy to sacrifice your life for a lady?”

Gu Maolu said with a bitter smile.

“I hope this is your first and last time saying that. Everyone has their own ambition, and she is mine. I am willing to guard her for a lifetime.”

Jiang Chen said lightly. Gu Maolu could feel that Jiang Chen’s words were full of anger. He was slightly startled as women were no more than fleeting souls in his eyes but Jiang Chen put such a high valuation on this woman. This was undoubtedly one of the biggest taboos in the journey of cultivation. However, this also showed that Jiang Chen has a deep affection for this lady, however she was treating him coldly. Gu Maolu thought it was merely Jiang Chen’s wishful thinking.

“This is probably my first time meeting such an awesome disciple. Kid, let’s have a fight.”

A smile touched the corners of the young man’s lips. He narrowed his eyes and glared at Jiang Chen ferociously.

“All of you are no match for me.”

Jiang Chen remained calm while Liu Yingfeng and the others were dumbfounded, and burst into laughter instantly.

“Yang Kun, you should teach him a lesson.”

Liu Yingfeng said.

“Great, Brother Feng. I will show him my real strength.”

Yang Hun said with a chuckle. He turned and his eyes met Jiang Chen’s. At that moment, his face turned extremely gloomy.

“How many blows could you withstand?”

Yang Kun clenched his fists and struck out instantly. A large crowd of people had gathered around to watch the fight.

“Being arrogant and looking down at everybody, it serves you right!”

Qin Feng said with a cold smile as he saw that Jiang Chen was surrounded by more than ten old disciples. Jiang Chen should pay a price for what he did. He was just digging his own grave for offending them and being too arrogant.

“How can one be called a genius without confidence?”

Jiang Chen said lightly. He was standing firmly like a mountain.

“You should die now!”

Yang Kun roared ferociously and struck. He’s full of killing intent. His aggressive attack shocked the new disciples. Even though there were new disciples who had reached the Mid Divine King Realm, there were still some differences with the old disciples.

Jiang Chen looked completely calm while sending out a punch without hesitation. Their fight was intense. In the next second, Yang Kun was thrown out in the twinkling of an eye. The result of the fight was out immediately!
