Jiang Chen did not forget Zi Chemin's warning and beating. Faced with Gan Ning's invitation, Jiang Chen did not answer in a hurry.
He wanted to know whether this was a normal move or a test between each other? Or was there another reason?
Generally speaking, this kind of invitation usually comes from bad people and good people don't come.
However, the most annoying thing is that sometimes you know that this is a game and it may be waiting for you to fall into the trap, but you still can't refuse.
Once you refuse, people will accuse you of being arrogant, unsociable, and difficult to get along with. Or they may say that you are as timid as a mouse and dare not even attend a simple tea party.
It is very embarrassing to have a mouth on someone else's body.
Therefore, Jiang Chen thought for a moment, and then smiled and said: "Shao has just entered the Holy Land, and I have many things to ask you talented fellow Taoists for advice. I just hope that everyone will not dislike me for being vulgar."
"Hahaha, fellow Taoist Shao Yuan is really happy. In that case, please leave, okay?"
"Please." Jiang Chen waved his hand, signaling Gan Ning to lead the way.
Gan Ning came to invite him personally, which at least gave Jiang Chen face. If Gan Ning just sent a boy to summon him, Jiang Chen might not give him face.
Gan Ning's cave is indeed not far away. It takes several miles of mountain road to reach it in a short time.
This Gan Ninggui is one of the five great princes of the Holy Land. He is not only outstanding in talent, but also has an extremely distinguished life experience. He is the direct descendant of a certain elder in the Holy Land Presbyterian Church.
As soon as he entered the cave, Jiang Chen suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked at a figure in the cave.
This figure is clearly Xiahou Ying from the Xiahou family.
Xia Houying raised her lips slightly and looked at Jiang Chen, with a half-smile in her eyes as she looked at Jiang Chen.
"Why is she here?" Jiang Chen was slightly surprised when he saw Xia Houying.
Looking around, he found that there were already several people sitting in the cave. Xia Houying seemed to be enjoying herself very much. Many people's eyes were directed at Jiang Chen, but they also seemed to be trying to please him, and they would glance at Xia Houying from time to time.
.
"Haha, Miss Ying, Brother Yu has already invited the person you want for you."
Gan Ning smiled slightly and said to Jiang Chen: "Fellow Taoist, Miss Ying came to visit Elder Ziche. When she talked about your genius, everyone admired you very much. I took the liberty to invite you here. Don't be offended."
Jiang Chen looked indifferent and nodded slightly.
Seeing Xia Houying, Jiang Chen's expression was slightly cold. Because, at this moment, he realized something and felt that this invitation was indeed a bad one.
Xia Houying looked at Jiang Chen with her wonderful eyes, and the smile on her face was a little strange.
"Shao Yuan, Mr. Shao. I said goodbye to you at the Xiahou Family Mansion. I didn't expect to see you again at the Eternal Holy Land. Your airs are not ordinary."
Xia Houying's tone seemed to be joking, but also a little angry. She looked at Gan Ning and said, "If it weren't for Senior Brother Gan Ning's respect, it would be really difficult to invite you."
Jiang Chen smiled lightly: "Miss Xiahou said something serious."
"I'm not exaggerating. I am in the Xiahou family and I have invited you over and over again, but you have ignored me, which is very annoying."
"Miss Xiahou invited you several times, but what are your instructions?" Jiang Chen simply pretended to be stupid.
"Hmph..." Xia Houying said with some annoyance, "Master Shao is really not a cheerful person. He asks questions knowingly. It's too late to say this now. You are a genius in the Holy Land, and we, the Xiahou family, don't dare to count on you."
"Haha, sitting here are all disciples of the Holy Land. Miss Xiahou, what do you think?" Jiang Chen's tone was light, but he caught Xiahou Ying's hand.
"I am a disciple of Elder Ziche, but I am not lucky enough to join the Holy Land. Mr. Shao climbed to a high branch. No wonder he has always ignored other people's invitations."
Xia Houying is very good at showing off her emotions. Fortunately, here are all Holy Land disciples.
Jiang Chen looked indifferent and simply turned a deaf ear to Xia Houying's words. He closed his eyes and ignored them.
boom!
Next to Xia Houying, a young man in a purple shirt was displeased and slammed the table: "Shao Yuan, are you a man? Why are you so graceless? What is your attitude when Miss Ying talks to you?"
Jiang Chen didn't know what his status was in the Holy Land, and he couldn't understand it in a hurry. But judging from his demeanor, he should not be on Gan Ning's level.
Jiang Chen didn't even raise his eyelids. He had no interest in this guy at all.
Xia Houying is not a disciple of the Holy Land, but this person stood up for Xia Houying and did not hesitate to yell at him, a disciple of the Holy Land.
In Jiang Chen's opinion, this kind of behavior is a sign of flattery.
However, Jiang Chen is not surprised by this.
There will never be a shortage of guys who are courteous to women anywhere, and in the Eternal Holy Land, it is natural that they cannot be exempt from vulgarity.
Jiang Chen's attitude made the other party see it and became even more furious, thinking that this was Jiang Chen's humiliation to him.
"Shao Yuan, what's your attitude?" The man got a little angry, "Do you think that I'm not qualified to ask you something?"
Jiang Chen did not answer, but cupped his fists and said to Gan Ning: "Fellow Taoist Gan Ning, is this the tea party you call? I didn't taste the tea, but I tasted it with a strong sour taste."
Gan Ning smiled slightly: "Fellow Taoist Shao Yuan, Junior Brother Jing has always been upright and willing to fight against injustice. In addition, he has always respected Miss Ying like a god, so I feel a little anxious. Please bear with me."
The corner of Jiang Chen's mouth moved slightly, but he was noncommittal.
He also saw that Gan Ning was the same person. However, this guy was known as the Fifth Young Master, so he would not do some things too obviously.
From this point of view, this so-called tea party really does not come to good people.
After understanding this, Jiang Chen felt much calmer. He wanted to see what kind of medicine these guys were selling in the gourd.
However, he was secretly wary in his heart, and he was even more wary of Xia Houying's methods. Jiang Chen, the daughter of the Xiahou family, had always regarded her as a arrogant and unreasonable young lady. Looking at this situation, she only
I'm afraid I underestimated Xia Houying.
This Xia Houying is probably not as brainless as she seems on the surface.
If she is just a brainless young lady, even if she is as beautiful as a fairy, how can she let these young geniuses from the Holy Land stand up for her?
I have to say that this woman's methods may be unexpectedly superb.
Jiang Chen's indifferent attitude made these people feel like a dog biting a hedgehog, unable to bite him. Indeed, by inviting Jiang Chen here, they actually meant to find trouble.
However, with how favored Jiang Chen is in the sect now, it is inconvenient for them to do many things too obviously, otherwise, they will offend the higher-ups of the Holy Land, especially the three Holy Lords, and they will not be able to take it for granted.
To be honest, these so-called Holy Land geniuses are still very dissatisfied with Jiang Chen's favor. This young man appeared out of nowhere, became popular out of nowhere, and became favored out of nowhere.
The speed and momentum of this rise are so fast that many people cannot accept it. After all, there are countless geniuses in the Eternal Holy Land.
In terms of background, identity, and origin, many geniuses believe that they are much superior to this outsider.
Therefore, most people couldn't accept Jiang Chen's sudden favor.
The most important thing is that Jiang Chen continuously broke through the Jiuqu Cloud Cave, which is also a psychological shock to these geniuses.
They will inevitably have a kind of resistance and hostility.
This feeling brings them threats, brings them uneasiness, and makes them feel that the status that should belong to them is now being impacted by outsiders.
This feeling of uneasiness made them think of ways to cause trouble for Jiang Chen.
This is a strange psychological trick.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit strange, Gan Ning smiled slightly and said: "Fellow Taoist Shao Yuan, come here, let me introduce you to these geniuses of the Holy Land. In the future, there will be many opportunities for us to interact with each other."
Jiang Chen was noncommittal and gave Gan Ning a thoughtful look.
He really wanted to see what kind of medicine Gan Ning was selling in the gourd.
Gan Ning acted as if nothing had happened and began to introduce them one by one. After Jiang Chen heard this, he felt a little disappointed. Except for Gan Ning, none of the people present were among the five legendary princes.
Jiang Chen was disappointed, but also a little happy.
Fortunately, not everyone in this eternal holy land is so shallow.
If all the five legendary young masters were fascinated by Xia Houying, then this genius from the Holy Land would be a bit disappointing.
Gan Ning made the introduction, but saw that Jiang Chen remained indifferent and was unwilling to say anything more about the situation. This made Gan Ning frown slightly.
"Fellow Taoist Shao Yuan, Gan also put in a lot of effort to introduce me. Isn't it a little too disrespectful of Taoist Taoist fellow Taoist?" Gan Ning's tone was a little unhappy.
Jiang Chen laughed dumbly, and suddenly said: "Fellow Taoist Gan Ning, why don't you tell me directly, what are the instructions for this tea party? We are all sensible people, please forgive me, except for hostility, I don't feel this
What kind of goodwill is there in the tea party? Since there is no goodwill, what are your plans? Why not be more direct and waste time on each other, right?"
When Jiang Chen said this, a smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth: "I never thought that Miss Xiahou would have such a high influence in my Eternal Holy Land. I'm sorry, I'm disrespectful."
Jiang Chen said and bowed his hand to Xia Houying: "Miss Xiahou, did you become a disciple of Elder Ziche to learn alchemy? Or to get along with the geniuses of the Holy Land? To be honest, Shao is a little confused."
Jiang Chen didn't want to maintain any kind of demeanor towards the Xiahou family, let alone give them a good look.
No one in the Xiahou family, male or female, human or animal, can be friends. Jiang Chen naturally has no need to be polite.
These words were tantamount to directly exposing Xia Houying's hypocrisy. An imperceptible killing intent flashed through Xia Houying's beautiful eyes.
However, he disappeared in a flash, stamped his feet, and said coquettishly: "No wonder Mr. Shao has been ignoring me, he is so prejudiced against me!"
