"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Li, Judgment Chief Fa Rang, I apologize for troubling you three sages."
At this moment, Jiang Chen cupped his fists and bowed to the three figures, speaking apologetically.
Zhou Wanchen, Li Jiang, and Fa Rang all waved their hands in unison, and then Fa Rang performed a knight's salute towards Mi Jiaro: "Your Excellency, Saint Heir."
"Judgment Chief Fa Rang?! Saint Heir!?"
"He is the Holy Court's Saint Heir!?"
"What the hell! The three Saint Realm experts are all greeting Jiang Chen together, and even the Saint Heir is placed after him!?"
"This, this... Does Jiang Chen hold a higher status than the Saint Heir in the eyes of the Judgment Chief? What on earth is going on!?"
All around, the members of Grand Virtue Gate cried out in shock, staring dumbfounded at Jiang Chen and the three others, unable to comprehend the scene unfolding before them!
"Judgment Chief!"
"Judgment Chief!"
Saha indicated to his family members, who then performed a knight's salute towards Fa Rang.
Fa Rang turned his head to look at Saha and his group, speaking coldly: "You were present, yet you allowed the Saint Heir and Mr. Jiang to summon us here, truly commendable!"
Saha's expression changed; he was about to explain when Fa Rang stopped looking at him and turned to Jiang Chen: "Mr. Jiang, what happened?"
"These two old men wanted to keep Mr. Jiang here, and those two refused, almost causing a fight. Mr. Jiang seemed unwilling for them to fight, so he called people over. When I saw who was coming, I thought we might as well call everyone!"
Mi Jiaro quickly spoke up, then turned to look at Jiang Chen, as if seeking confirmation that what he said was correct.
"Correct! I do not wish to be kept here; it's just that I'm not strong enough. I'm really fortunate to have troubled the three seniors to come here, lest some people think that Jiang Chen is easy to push around!" Jiang Chen responded with a light smile.
"Easy to push around?"
Zhou Wanchen's face grew stern; Jiang Chen was his savior, and he had also safeguarded his family, preventing its destruction.
From Jiang Chen's words, it seemed these people intended to forcefully keep him; Zhou Wanchen immediately burned with anger, speaking in a low voice: "Mr. Jiang, please wait, I will rush over immediately to annihilate this group of bastards!"
"Together."
Li Jiang also spoke concisely, his tone calm, yet filled with murderous intent.
Fa Rang was the last to speak; he glanced at Laurie and Hu Hada, his eyes flickering with cold light, and said plainly: "You are from Grand Virtue Gate, are you not? You are bold indeed, daring to bully Mr. Jiang. Hmph, Mr. Jiang is not to be bullied! Anyone who dares to bully him will die! Let me also take action and wipe out your Grand Virtue Gate!"
All three Saint Realm experts spoke harshly, each more severe than the last, terrifying Laurie and the others to the point of trembling.
"Please! My lords, we were wrong, it's our fault! Please spare us this time!" Laurie, his face now pale, hurriedly waved his hand, bowing repeatedly and apologizing.
Hu Hada's eyes flashed with a trace of indignation. After hesitating for a moment, he also bowed deeply to Zhou Wanchen and the others: "My lords, we were blind to your greatness, please be magnanimous and spare us this time!"
"This matter will be entirely up to Mr. Jiang!"
"Agreed!"
"Yes!"
Zhou Wanchen suggested, and Li Jiang and Fa Rang instantly acquiesced!
Laurie's face changed, hesitating slightly, then turned and bowed deeply to Jiang Chen: "Mr. Jiang, I am truly sorry. I should not have attempted to keep Mr. Jiang here. Please forgive my unsolicited actions this time!"
Hu Hada's face showed increasing frustration. He glanced at Zhou Wanchen and the others before looking at Jiang Chen, then reluctantly bent down to Jiang Chen: "Please forgive me, Mr. Jiang!"
"The patriarch apologized!?"
"The patriarch bowed to that Jiang Chen?!"
"What the hell! Forced even the patriarch to bow! That Jiang Chen..."
"Cannot be provoked! We must avoid provoking that Jiang Chen at all costs in the future!"
At this moment, everyone from the Grand Virtue Gate stared at Jiang Chen in disbelief, a shadow etched deeply into their hearts, with Jiang Chen's image rooted in their souls, filling them with a sense of fear!
"I've troubled the three seniors, please return now!" Seeing his goal achieved, Jiang Chen turned and bowed to Zhou Wanchen and the others.
"Take care, Mr. Jiang!"
"See you later, Mr. Jiang!"
"Mr. Jiang, visit the Holy Court when you have time, and we shall chat freely!"
The three greeted Jiang Chen, and their figures disappeared instantly.
Both Laurie and Hu Hada sighed in relief simultaneously. The appearance of the three had caused them immense pressure.
Wiping the cold sweat from his brow, Laurie glanced at Jiang Chen, feeling a tremor in his heart once more.
He couldn't ignore the fact that the three Saint Realm experts greeted Jiang Chen first upon arriving and also greeted him when leaving.
What does this signify?
It signifies that, in the eyes of these three Saint Realm experts, the person who drew them here had minimal authority in their hearts, while Jiang Chen was the one with the highest authority present to them!
Hu Hada, however, noticed a bit more than Laurie; he saw that the three Saint Realm experts' attitude towards Jiang Chen wasn't the benevolence shown towards juniors, but rather held respect and even a hint of admiration.
This made Hu Hada ponder deeply; could it be that this Jiang Chen is somewhat like me?
"Do you two still wish to keep me here?"
After the trio left, Jiang Chen looked at Laurie and Hu Hada with indifference.
"No! We wouldn't dare!"
Laurie replied awkwardly.
Hu Hada gave Jiang Chen a deep look, a slight smile on his face, with his eyes carrying a scrutinizing intent: "It seems I wasn't wrong; perhaps we are the same kind. If Mr. Jiang has the time, he might visit Liga Continent sometime."
Jiang Chen was startled, suddenly looking into Hu Hada's eyes, his brows furrowing tightly.
"Mr. Jiang, I bear no ill will."
Seeing Jiang Chen's reaction, Hu Hada was convinced that Jiang Chen was indeed like him, and spoke sincerely.
"Very well, I will visit when I have the time!" Jiang Chen thought for a moment and lightly agreed.
"Alright!" Hu Hada nodded with a light laugh.
Laurie glanced at Hu Hada, lightly frowning, a look of displeasure flashing in his eyes.
One side invites, the other agrees; this doesn't simply mean an invitation to Liga Continent. If it were truly an invitation, they certainly wouldn't just mention the name of a continent; this implies that they wish to erase everything and never speak of past events.
Regarding Lu Liya's death, Laurie remained bitter. Although he yielded today, it doesn't mean he's willing to let things go!
"Supreme Shi Kui, do you wish to stay and discuss matters? We'll take our leave first!" Jiang Chen turned to look at Supreme Shi Kui.
Supreme Shi Kui nodded lightly: "Alright!"
Given the significant incident at Grand Virtue Gate, he, as the Senior Elder of Yasna Continent at Grand Virtue Gate, certainly could not just leave. Even if he was at odds with Laurie and Hu Hada, they were all part of Grand Virtue Gate!
A storm was thus temporarily quelled.
