Chapter 2401: Chapter 2405: Young Master, I’ve Finally Found You!
"Oh? Haha, alright!"
Feng Qingyang’s answer surprised Lu Wangcheng a bit, but he didn’t take it seriously, thinking it was just youthful indecision. He spoke again: "Who is Mu Ling’er?"
"That’s me, I’m also curious about others’ choices!"
Mu Ling’er mimicked the response.
Lu Wangcheng was momentarily stunned again, then looked amusedly at Mu Ling’er. She was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, whom he thought found the reply amusing.
"Who is Sun Changlin?"
"Greetings, Director Lu, I’m Sun Changlin. I’m observing others’ choices too."
"Mu Qianrou?"
"Director Lu, I’m watching others!"
Encountering the same answer again, Lu Wangcheng furrowed his brow slightly, glanced at the four, and sensed their gaze, suddenly turning to Jiang Chen: "This student, what’s your name?"
"Director Lu has asked so many people, I should ask one too!"
Jiang Chen didn’t respond but smiled lightly, looking at the young man behind Lu Wangcheng who stirred his emotions.
The young man, previously indifferent to outside matters, shuddered violently upon hearing Jiang Chen’s voice.
Crack!
A crisp sound was heard because the young man raised his head too abruptly, his neck also making a sound.
This familiar scene left Hu Yiqiu and others momentarily stunned, looking at Jiang Chen and the young man again, confusion in their eyes.
Lu Wangcheng’s brows jumped upon hearing this, following Jiang Chen’s gaze. Seeing the young man’s excited expression, he secretly cried out in alarm!
Sizzle!
A flash of lightning passed, and the young man appeared in front of Jiang Chen instantly, then shockingly knelt on one knee before him.
"Young Master! I’ve finally found you!"
The young man’s voice was trembling with excitement.
"Young Master!?"
"Is he calling Jiang Chen Young Master!?"
"What’s going on here?"
The crowd murmured in astonishment.
Lu Wangcheng’s heart skipped a beat, while Hu Yiqiu and others seemed to realize something, their eyes showing a hint of joy and they all glanced at Jiang Chen, feeling happy for him!
"Hu Zi, get up quickly!"
Jiang Chen’s eyes slightly moist, pulled the young man up.
This young man was Yan Hu, who entered the collapsing space with Jiang Chen, ending up on Canglan Continent.
"Young Master!"
Yan Hu looked at Jiang Chen with excitement, eyes brimming with tears, his body gently trembling, too excited to speak.
"As long as you’re alright!"
Jiang Chen took a deep breath, heavily patting Yan Hu’s shoulder.
Yan Hu quickly steadied his emotions, retrieved two porcelain bottles from his Space Ring, and handed them to the stunned Lu Wangcheng, then stepped behind Jiang Chen.
"This... Yan Hu, what are you doing?"
Lu Wangcheng, coming back to his senses, glanced at the porcelain bottles in his hand, grimly looked at Yan Hu.
"Director Lu, apologies! My life’s goal is to follow the Young Master!"
Yan Hu cupped his hands towards Lu Wangcheng with a serious expression.
"Life’s goal!?"
"What is this person’s situation!?"
"Looks like a household guard or something?"
Discussions arose again around them.
"Hu Zi is not a household guard, Hu Zi is my life-and-death brother!"
Jiang Chen turned coldly, glancing at the group of academy students gossiping.
The students quickly shut their mouths, Jiang Chen’s fearsome reputation making them dare not contradict him.
"Haha, Director Lu, even you have your missteps sometimes?"
"Not just a misstep, even accompanied one, haha!"
Zhang Jiucheng and others chuckled lightly.
Even Hu Yiqiu and others had arched mouths, looking mockingly at Lu Wangcheng.
"You..."
Lu Wangcheng’s face turned very unpleasant, glaring fiercely at Yan Hu, and then turned to Feng Qingyang and others: "Have you decided yet?"
"Oh, stop asking us. Just ask Brother Jiang Chen, we listen to him!"
Mu Ling’er impatiently waved her little hand.
"Jiang Chen? Is he the Jiang Chen at the top of the assessment leaderboard?"
Lu Wangcheng’s eyes lit up, even Zhang Jiucheng and Li Qisheng were now attentive.
"Kid Jiang Chen, greetings Director Lu!"
Jiang Chen smiled slightly and cupped his hands in salute to Lu Wangcheng.
Lu Wangcheng’s expression changed, looking intently at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen smiled back at him.
Zhang Jiucheng and others paused, then watched Lu Wangcheng with interest, curious about how he would lure Jiang Chen away.
"You, if you enter my Cangfeng Academy, I can offer you a sixth-grade elixir and five fifth-grade elixirs!"
Lu Wangcheng gritted his teeth and spoke solemnly.
"Sixth-grade elixir?!"
"Wow, Director Lu is really going all out!"
"A sixth-grade elixir, can Jiang Chen resist such temptation?"
"I think it’s difficult. He’s not that young, but he only has Mid Divine Infant Realm cultivation. Having a sixth-grade elixir and five fifth-grade elixirs should be enough to catch up with his peers. Such temptation is enormous!"
Being wary of Jiang Chen’s fierce reputation, students didn’t discuss openly, but academy elders and directors started whispering.
"Haha!"
Jiang Chen chuckled lightly, wiped his hand over the Space Ring, and a handful of elixirs appeared in his hand.
Instantly, a surge of medicinal fragrance spread, everyone was left stunned.
"Enlightenment Pill!? That’s a three-pattern Enlightenment Pill?!"
"That’s a Spirit-Infusing Pill, and it’s a Four-Pattern Spirit-Nourishing Elixir!?"
"Wow, that’s a sixth-grade elixir Guiyuan Pill!? One-Pattern Guiyuan Pill? How does he have so many high-grade elixirs?"
Exclamations rose as people looked at Jiang Chen with fervent eyes.
Lu Wangcheng’s face stiffened, staring directly at the elixirs in Jiang Chen’s hand; even the Four-Pattern Spirit-Nourishing Elixir was superior to their best academy elixirs!
"Although I don’t know what that leaderboard is... but..."
Jiang Chen glanced at Lu Wangcheng with a light smile: "Anyone in the top ten of the leaderboard willing to join my Changlin Academy will receive one Guiyuan Pill, three two-pattern or higher Enlightenment Pills, and five three-pattern or higher Spirit-Infusing Elixirs. And those ranked eleventh to twentieth will each receive three two-pattern or higher Enlightenment Pills and five three-pattern or higher Spirit-Infusing Elixirs!"
With his words, Jiang Chen smiled broadly at the students behind Lu Wangcheng: "Does anyone meet the criteria?"
Several students showed slight change of expression, a hint of greed in their eyes as they looked at Jiang Chen’s elixirs, hesitating.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen smiled slightly and handed them directly to Yan Hu: "Hu Zi, a little gift. I’ll give you more when we return."
Yan Hu glanced at Jiang Chen and without hesitation took all the elixirs from Jiang Chen’s hand, putting them into his Space Ring amidst envious gazes.
