Jiang Chen walked straight to the seat of honor and sat down. He was calm and composed, and didn't say a word.
Seeing this, the young man smiled lightly. He did not think that there was anything wrong with the master's actions. A master who could concoct pills with 100% effectiveness, of course he had his pride.
"I am Lee Chang Hong from Red city's Lee family. Nice to meet you, master."
This young man was Lee Chang Hong. He cupped his fists and greeted Jiang Chen politely.
"Red city's Lee family?"
Jiang Chen was shocked. The Lee family was one of the biggest families in Red city. Their status in Red city was equivalent to the Jiang family's status in Fragrant Sky city.
Jiang Chen did not know that Lee Chang Hong was helping the Mu Rong family to fight against the Jiang family. He also did not know that the old man beside him was the alchemist from the Mu Rong family who could concoct pills with 70% effectiveness.
At the same time, Lee Chang Hong did not know that the master in front of him who could concoct pills with 100% effectiveness was Jiang Chen, whom he wanted to get rid of.
"Master, with your talent, staying in this small Fragrant Sky city would be a waste. Why don't you follow me from now on? I can promise you that you can be a guest of the Lee family. You should know that this small Jiang family is not even worthy of carrying the shoes of the Lee family. Staying here would be a waste of your time."
Lee Chang Hong did not beat around the bush, and directly stated the reason for his visit.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen suddenly felt disgusted.
"Get lost!"
Jiang Chen said Leng Leng. He did not give him any face. As the greatest saint, he would not care about a small Lee family.
"What did you say?"
The smile on Lee Chang Hong's face froze. He did not expect this person to be so rude even though he had clearly stated his name. He did not understand why this Grandmaster would suddenly attack him. His words were humble, and there was nothing wrong with it.
"Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. It is your fortune that my master likes you. In this big city, no one dares to talk to my master like this."
The Mid Qi Hai old man was enraged.
"Master, I am inviting you with sincerity."
Lee Chang Hong's eyes were also filled with anger.
"Get lost. Jiang Cheng, see the guest out."
Jiang Chen's tone was cold as he turned around and left. If it wasn't for the fact that the Jiang family and the Mu Rong family were enemies, Lee Chang Hong's words would have been enough to kill him. If Jiang Chen wanted to kill him, even if there was a Mid Qi Hai warrior present, he would still die.
Jiang Chen disappeared from the hall like a wisp of smoke, which surprised Jiang Cheng who was outside the door.
"Master's temper is indeed Impermanence. Eh, Master actually knows my name."
Jiang Cheng instantly felt that he had a strong presence in this pill shop. He had never met the Grandmaster, but the Grandmaster knew his name. That was the Grandmaster!
Jiang Chen walked away, leaving behind Lee Chang Hong with a sinister look on his face. Ever since he was born, he had never run into a wall like this. In this small Tian Xiang city, there was someone who dared to not give him face.
"Young Master, this person is so arrogant. Why don't you just get rid of him?"
The old man said coldly.
"Hmph! Just because he has some talent, he dares to be rude to me. What a joke. Just ignore him for now. Wait until I destroy the Jiang family and take over this pill shop. Let's see what he will do then. "
Lee Chang Hong said coldly.
"You two, please leave. You are not welcome here."
Jiang Cheng imitated his young master's tone. He suddenly felt that he could be as arrogant as his young master.
Lee Chang Hong stared at Jiang Cheng and left angrily.
Mu Rong family!
"Master Lee, how was it? Did you see the Grandmaster? "
Mu Rong Zhan asked when he saw Lee Chang Hong return.
"Hmph! That guy doesn't know how to appreciate kindness. Wait until I destroy the Jiang family, then I will deal with him. Master Mu Rong, I will help you get rid of Jiang Chen now. "
Lee Chang Hong said angrily.
Hearing that he wanted to get rid of Jiang Chen, Mu Rong Zhan was shocked. He wanted to get rid of Jiang Chen even in his dreams, but he didn't have the chance.
"That Jiang Chen kid stays at home all day. Do you have any way to get rid of him?"
Mu Rong Zhan asked.
"I will kill him with my own hands. Master Mu Rong, if you do this …"
Lee Chang Hong's face was filled with a sinister smile. He put his mouth next to Mu Rong Zhan's ear and said a few words.
Mu Rong Ying's eyes lit up. He gave Lee Chang Hong a thumbs up: "Master's plan is brilliant. If it succeeds, you will be able to get rid of Jiang Chen. As long as Jiang Chen dies, Jiang Zhen Hai will lose his backbone. At that time, the Jiang family will be nothing to worry about."
… …
At noon, Jiang Chen was practicing the Dragon Transformation Skill. He had returned to the Mayor's Mansion last night, so he decided to put aside the alchemy. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Jiang Chen frowned.
The door was pushed open. Jiang Cheng walked in: "Young master."
"Jiang Cheng, if you don't have a good reason, I will break your legs."
Jiang Chen hated being disturbed when he was practicing. This Jiang Cheng came at the wrong time.
Jiang Cheng was scared and quickly said: "Young master, it's not that I wanted to disturb you, but the master wants to see you. He wants you to go to the meeting hall immediately."
"Do you know why my father wants to see me?"
Jiang Chen asked. Under normal circumstances, if Jiang Zhen Hai wanted to talk to Jiang Chen, he would come by himself or ask someone to call him to his place. He rarely went to the meeting hall, which meant that something big had happened.
"Young master, I heard that the Mu Rong family sent a letter of challenge. Now, all the elders and guests are in the meeting hall."
Jiang Cheng did not dare to hide anything.
"A letter of challenge? I'll go take a look. "
Jiang Chen tidied up his clothes and strode out of the courtyard, heading towards the meeting hall. The Mu Rong family's declaration of war was out of his expectation. If it was because of Mu Rong Hao, they should have done it yesterday instead of waiting until now.
In the meeting hall of the Jiang family, Jiang Zhen Hai was sitting at the head of the table. Beside him were five or six Qi Hai warriors, including Zhou Bei Zhen. On Jiang Zhen Hai's right was a letter of challenge.
"Dad, uncles."
Jiang Chen walked in. He was a handsome young man, his face was like jade, his eyes were bright, and his body was tall and straight. Just by looking at him, one could tell that he was a dragon amongst men. All the Qi Hai warriors and elders looked at this young master and nodded their heads.
Once upon a time, none of them were willing to look at this hedonistic young master. But recently, this young master had undergone an earth-shattering change. He was like a completely different person from before. Even Mu Rong Zhan had fallen at his hands. The number one genius of the Mu Rong Clan had been crippled by him. Furthermore, when he saw them, he had to call them uncles. This was basic courtesy.
Who wouldn't like a young genius like him?
"Chen 'er, you're here."
Jiang Zhen Hai saw Jiang Chen and his face softened a little.
"Dad, I heard that the Mu Rong family sent a letter of challenge. What's going on?"
Jiang Chen asked.
"The letter of challenge is here. Take a look at it yourself."
Jiang Zhen Hai handed the letter of challenge to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen read through the contents of the letter. The general idea was to settle the grudge between the two families and prepare for a duel. Three days later, the Jiang family and the Mu Rong family would each find a young man to duel in the central square of Fragrant Sky city. The stakes were not small. The two families' pill stores would be used as the wager. Whoever lost the pill store would belong to the other family.
"Hehe, this is interesting. They even took out their pill stores. They're betting with their lives. Mu Rong Zhan is really willing to go all out."
Jiang Chen laughed and threw the letter of challenge aside. The stakes in this letter were not small. Although the Mu Rong family and the Jiang family had a lot of businesses, the only ones that supported them were the pill stores. The medicinal ingredients and spirit items collected by the Chamber of Commerce were also going to be used in the pill stores.
There were only two pill stores in Fragrant Sky city. Neither side could afford to lose them. Losing the pill stores meant losing their source of wealth. Mu Rong Zhan was using the pill stores as the wager. It seemed like he was serious.
"Chen 'er, don't you think there's something wrong with this letter?"
Jiang Zhen Hai asked.
"There is indeed something wrong."
Jiang Chen smiled, "The number one genius of the Mu Rong family, Mu Rong Hao, has already been crippled by me. In other words, the Mu Rong family will not be able to find another genius who can compete with me. Unless someone from the younger generation of the Mu Rong family reaches the Qi Hai realm, then Mu Rong Zhan would not dare to make such a decision."
"Young master is right. Young master just crippled Mu Rong Hao yesterday. Mu Rong Zhan is not an idiot. He knows about young master's strength. However, he still dared to issue such a letter of challenge and use the pill stores as the wager. There must be something fishy going on."
Zhou Bei Zhen said.
"In my opinion, if Mu Rong Zhan is not crazy, then he is really confident. That old fox is not crazy. Therefore, I am sure that he has a trump card. Just like what young master Chen said, there might be someone from the younger generation of the Mu Rong family who has reached the Qi Hai realm."
Another person said.
"Chen 'er, what do you think? Should we accept this letter of challenge or not? Mu Rong Zhan's target is obviously you. "
Jiang Zhen Hai looked at Jiang Chen. No one here was an idiot. This letter of challenge was obviously aimed at Jiang Chen. After all the things that had happened recently, everyone knew how scary Jiang Chen was. Mu Rong Zhan hated Jiang Chen more than Jiang Zhen Hai. He wanted to kill Jiang Chen even in his dreams.
This letter of challenge could not only kill Jiang Chen, but also destroy the Jiang family's pill store. Mu Rong Zhan's goal was very clear.
"Of course we will accept it. If I am not wrong, this letter of challenge has not only been sent to the Jiang family, but also to the entire Fragrant Sky city. Everyone is waiting for a good show. If we don't accept it, it means that we are afraid of the Mu Rong family. Then, Mu Rong Zhan will make a big deal out of this, and the Jiang family will not be able to hold their heads up high."
Jiang Chen had a calm smile on his face. He didn't look nervous at all, "Besides, since Mu Rong Zhan wants to play, let's play with him. I also want to see what he has up his sleeves."
"Chen 'er, don't be careless."
Jiang Zhen Hai frowned, his face full of worry.
"Don't worry, father. I know what I am doing. Plus, this letter of challenge has been sent to the Jiang family. If I don't accept it, it will be a joke."
