Princess Fragrance didnt push it when she realized he was uninterested in chitchat. She nodded and said, There are two hours left until we arrive at the capital of the Xia Dynasty. Please help yourself.

There were chairs on the deck. Jiang Chen sat in one, and soon, a maid brought him snacks and tea.

Jiang Chen recognized the maids voice. She was the one who had yelled out to warn him.

Apprentice Brother Yun and others were unhappy when they saw Jiang Chen ignoring Princess Fragrance, aloof and with no intention to take his mask off.

But since Princess Fragrance wasnt complaining, no one wanted to be the first to cast the stone.

Soon, they left both the interlude and Jiang Chen behind. Jiang Chen stayed in a corner alone, drinking below the white moonlight.

He heard their conversation and realized that the ones speaking were exactly the ones who had blamed him.

The woman who had invited him on board was just listening silently, seldom interrupting them, but she looked pretty interested in what they were talking about.

However, Jiang Chen found they were simply talking about how powerful the top ten sects and schools of the Fire Field were and telling old stories of the geniuses on the Eternal Flame List.

The woman called Princess Fragrance was excited to hear these stories. When she learned Lu Fei, ranked on the Eternal Flame List and famous for his knife methods, claimed that he would defeat all swordsmen in the competition of the Sacred Institute to earn a good name for his knife skills, her eyes lit up, and she wished she could meet this guy immediately.

Jiang Chen had a rough idea of what was going on. Princess Fragrance was a princess of some country in the Fire Field. This was her first long trip. She was very interested in the world and liked to make friends.

These peoples words were intertwined with bragging. One claimed that when they arrived in the capital, they would introduce her to a friend ranked in the top 100 of the Eternal Flame List.

Princess Fragrance was very happy. She gifted many yuan stones to the guy, Liu Peng, to thank him.

Jiang Chen frowned at what he saw.

These people were obviously taking advantage of the princess. In a short conversation, she had gifted them many things.

Jiang Chen called the maid over and asked her about it.

Our princess is always like this. She is very generous. She wont treat friends shabbily, the maid said.

But theyre treating her like a fool, Jiang Chen thought to himself, but he thought he was being ridiculous. She herself didnt think it a problem, while he was worrying for her.

Whitty fell asleep on the deck. Even in sleep, it was still on guard. If there was any sign of a disturbance, it would wake up immediately.

Apprentice Brother Yun Xiao is also a great swordsman, ranked very high on the Eternal Flame List. Hell show Lu Fei how the sword is the greatest among 100 weapons. Liu Peng was the most talkative and exaggerated the most.

Right. More than half of the masters in the Fire Fields Master List use swords. Princess, do you still remember what I told you about the Black Dragon City?

Princess Fragrance nodded and said, About Jiang Qingyu, whose son was robbed of the holy pulse?

Jiang Chen wasnt going to keep listening, but at that moment, he was captivated. His curiosity peaked at the mention of his father.

Exactly. Jiang Qingyu is a swordsman second to none. He pushed the Black Dragon City to the wall by himself. Can you imagine how powerful he is? Our Apprentice Brother Yun Xiao is no worse than Jiang Qingyu was when he was young, Liu Peng said.

Yun Xiao was sitting next to the princess. He smiled slightly when he heard such praise.

Apprentice Brother Yun Xiao, show the princess how great you are.

Princess Fragrance looked eager when she heard the invitation.

All right.

Yun Xiao came to a spacious part of the deck holding a class-two spiritual sword.

Jiang Chen was interested to see how great this guy was, since it was said he was as talented as his father when he was younger, but he had an unreadable expression when he saw the class-two spiritual sword.

Chasing Wind Sword: Cannon of Wind and Thunder!

Since he had no enemy at the moment, he managed to exert every detail to the fullest. His motion was elegant, his sword movement natural and unrestrained.

The sword method suddenly changed when he threw the sword out. It became swift and fierce. The radiance of the sword stroked across the night sky, the powerful energy shooting out like a cannon. It sounded harsh.

When the sword struck down, the energy turned the tables and chairs over.

Great! Liu Peng shouted.

Liu Peng and the others werent powerful enough to exert this movement. Princess Fragrance wasnt skilled in martial arts techniques, so she couldnt understand the techniques strong points. She just thought it was fabulous.

Its a pity that Apprentice Brother Yun Xiaos Chasing Wind Sword was stolen, so he had to make do with this class-two spiritual sword. Otherwise, it would be even more powerful, Liu Peng said with pity.

Really?

Princess Fragrance didnt know that. She was surprised. She said, Wont this be unfavorable for Apprentice Brother Yun Xiao in the competition of the Sacred Institute tomorrow?

What can I do? Yun Xiao smiled helplessly.

I wont allow that to happen. Jade, bring me a class-four spiritual sword, Princess Fragrance said.

Yun Xiao and Liu Peng looked at each other secretly. They were smiling, too excited to hide their feelings.

Princess, its too expensive for me to take it, Yun Xiao said, so that others wouldnt doubt him.

The sword is very important for a swordsman. Tomorrow is your big day. I wont allow you to be inferior in weapon. But Princess Fragrance didnt see through his trick. She insisted on giving him the sword.

Yun Xiao took it reluctantly in the end.

Haha!

At this moment, a harsh laugh surprised everyone on the deck.

They looked towards Jiang Chen, ignorant as to why he was laughing.

Some fools put on an act to cheat others out of treasure. How amusing.

Jiang Chen couldnt help but involve himself. He had to do something, no matter how it ended up.

Yun Xiao, Liu Peng and others all turned pale.

What nonsense! Liu Peng shouted at Jiang Chen. He was irritated.

The class-two spiritual sword is a good match for your sword method. You compared yourself to Jiang Qingyu. Ridiculous, Jiang Chen sneered.

This was the main reason that he had interrupted.

He almost spit out his tea when he saw the sword.

He thought Yun Xiao should have some real skill since he had boasted about his sword skills to that extent. He hadnt expected him to be so lame.

He could ward off Yun Xiaos attack with his right hand, and he wasnt exaggerating at all.

Princess, looks like someone is jealous of me, since youve gifted me the spiritual sword. I dont think I can take it. Yun Xiao squinted slightly. He held his temper and gave the class-four spiritual sword back to the princess.

It was a smart move. Prince Fragrance didnt accept it. She looked at Jiang Chen and said, My friend, Im perfectly happy to give the sword to him.

All those who are deceived are perfectly happy. When a fraud is uncovered, its always those who were deceived the worst that defend the fraud the most.

Jiang Chen walked over slowly and said, You felt power in what he showed you just now, but you were ignorant of why it was powerful. You thought it powerful just because those people said so.

Princess Fragrance was dumbstruck. She was pondering upon what he had said.

Do I know you? It seemed Yun Xiao intended to pierce the mask with a sharp look to see Jiang Chens face.

Hum, Apprentice Brother Yun Xiao is ranked 134th on the Eternal Flame List. Hes better than thousands of people. What achievements do you have? Whats your rank? Tell us your name! Liu Peng shouted. He was the guy who had cursed Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen smiled and said, My rank? Lets see Its fifty what?
