Chapter 122: The Abacus of Good Fortune
Ning Haotian couldn't get this through his head until he saw the wicked grins people were wearing .
Although Jiang Chen had promised the Natural Law School that he wouldn't release the formula, the agreement was based on his identity as a disciple of the school .
Ning Haotian suddenly regretted his actions . He shouldn't have coveted Jiang Chen's holy pulse . Instead, he should have killed the latter directly to put an end to this affair .
"Ning Haotian, congratulations on your breakthrough to the Reaching Heaven State . It's a big honor for the Fire Field, but you're too young to be a vice leader . "
"Exactly . Nothing can be accomplished without norms or standards . Rules are very important for the management of a sect or a school . However, as vice leader, it looks like your opinion outweighs the rules . "
"Jiang Chen is no longer a disciple of the Natural Law School . He should come to the Taiyi School with me . "
"Nooo, he is perfect for the Sword Sect of Returning to Oneness . Jiang Chen, you're talented . We can teach you the Sword Doctrine of Returning to Oneness . "
Ning Haotian was young and immature compared to these guys . He lost control of his tongue around them . They had started to lure Jiang Chen with the best conditions they could offer, and these conditions made the surrounding disciples extremely jealous of him .
For example, the Sword Doctrine of Returning to Oneness was the essence of the Sword Sect of Returning to Oneness . This proved that they valued Jiang Chen a lot .
Jiang Chen had suddenly become so popular . The disciples who had shown him disdain were ashamed .
It seemed like Jiang Chen was being wooed, considering which sect or school he would like to join .
The Medicine Elder couldn't stop nervously moving his legs . Jiang Chen's departure would be a great loss for the school .
At this moment, an unexpectedly strong wind started over the Peak of Drifting Clouds . Even the clouds were all blown away .
Everyone was startled . They knew it signalled the arrival of a man so powerful he was peerless .
Those from the different sects and schools looked at each other . They had a vague idea of what was going on and suddenly became serious .
A white light appeared . A youngster in a white robe appeared when the light dimmed . He had shoulder-length black hair and held himself with an extraordinary elegance .
"Guys, isn't it inappropriate for you to poach this disciple from the Natural Law School?" He grinned, showing his perfect teeth . His voice sounded like music .
"Leader the Venerable!" the school's elders who were present greeted him at the same time .
The disciples came to themselves a little later . Their voices sounded more excited . Some even kneeled down .
This handsome youngster was the leader of the Natural Law School, Su Xiuyi .
Jiang Chen was surprised . He couldn't connect this elegant youngster with a powerful leader in his mind .
"Powerful people in the Reaching Heaven State can not only stand in the air, but also rejuvenate themselves, causing a physical transformation," Jiang Chen thought to himself .
"Leader Su . " Feng Shaoyu and others greeted him with an attitude completely different from how they treated Ning Haotian, tone absent of teasing and full of respect .
Su Xiuyi made eye contact with each of them, as a form of greeting .
"Leader Su, your school has expelled Jiang Chen . We don't want to see such genius wasted . That's all . We aren't trying to poach your disciples," Feng Shaoyu said .
"Haotian has just been promoted to vice leader . He doesn't have enough experience yet . When it comes to a disciple as excellent as Jiang Chen, the Natural Law School would never give them up," Su Xiuyi said .
He looked even younger than Ning Haotian, but was speaking like he had seniority . However, no one thought it was strange .
"Really? But I think Jiang Chen has a say in it . " Feng Shaoyu didn't give up . He looked over to Jiang Chen .
So did Su Xiuyi and everyone else .
Under the gazes of so many people, Jiang Chen stood tall and opened his mouth .
"On my first day here, I was framed by a villain and sent to the Lost Soul to serve solitary confinement .
"No disciples or elders in the school offered me any help . Later, Elder Mo Xu helped me because I fixed the Great Formation of the Mountain Protection . That was how that wrong was righted .
"Since I became a senior disciple, I have been put in difficult situations time and again . I didn't say anything about it . Instead, I contributed three elixir recipes to the school .
"However, Li Song from the Peak of the Heavenly King came to challenge me . He died in the sky fight, but his sister, Li Qin, didn't buy it . She attacked my Redcloud Peak, and again, no one tried to stop her . Elder An even helped her . "
Elder An turned pale and furtively glanced at Su Xiuyi .
Su Xiuyi was listening carefully to Jiang Chen with a blank expression .
"If I hadn't deployed a formidable formation at the Redcloud Peak, I would have died .
"Then, Li Qin lurked around my peak frequently . She made up her mind to kill me . Again, no one helped .
"In the end, Li Qin intruded into my hometown, the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and tried to kill my mother . She almost killed my mother . Again, no one helped . "
"While Li Qin is resting comfortably at the Peak of Drifting Clouds, my mother is lying in bed painfully . The elders passed the buck . Elder An even claimed that if my mother hadn't been so weak, she would have revenged her apprentice .
"Ha, as if it were my mother who had intruded into another's home to kill them . " Jiang Chen was so angry that he laughed out loud . His anger and sorrow was palpable .
Elder An was panicking with a guilty conscience .
"Today, I've come to the Peak of Drifting Clouds to seek justice . Fu Yan and his subordinates attacked me . These elders were watching the scene from the sidelines and tried to kill me because I fought back!
"As vice leader, Ning Haotian couldn't tell right from wrong . He destroyed my spiritual weapons . Although the third spiritual weapon wasn't from the imperial mausoleum, he didn't care!
"As a disciple of the Natural Law School, I haven't received any support or friendly treatment from the school . I've been isolated . Even my family was put in danger .
"I don't want to stay in such a school anymore . Abolish my practicing achievements! Expel me from the school! Whatever!"
Jiang Chen had made up his mind .
No one at the Peak of Drifting Clouds spoke .
Those from other sects and schools were also surprised to learn he had suffered so much .
Some of the more conscientious disciples lowered their heads, feeling ashamed .
In the end, everyone looked at Su Xiuyi, expecting his response .
Su Xiuyi didn't speak . Instead, he took out a weird looking treasure . It had the image of the eight trigrams in the middle and looked like an abacus . It had crystal beads that looked like they were made of jade .
"The Abacus of Good Fortune?!"
All of the Natural Law School turned pale when they saw the treasure, especially Ning Haotian and Elder An .
The Abacus of Good Fortune could be used to see the past and the future in order to figure out the truth .
The leader had taken it out to investigate the affairs thoroughly .
With his eyes slightly closed, Su Xiuyi moved the abacus beads . Some mysterious runes that no one else understood appeared .
After a good while, Su Xiuyi put the abacus aside and opened his eyes . He glanced at each elder and disciple watching, including Ning Haotian .
"I'm disappointed . " Su Xiuyi let out a sigh .
"Leader the Venerable!" All the elders panicked, lowering their heads .
"As elders, you should protect each disciple and treat them all in the same manner, but you didn't offer any help when one of our disciples was in danger; you even tried to kill him . How great you must feel!"
Su Xiuyi glanced at the elders who had fought with Jiang Chen, including the five who had protected Li Qin .
"Please forgive us, leader!" they shouted .
Su Xiuyi shook his head and flicked his fingers slightly . The bodies of the elders who hadn't died by Jiang Chen's hand inflated rapidly . The inflation was caused by an expanding light in their bodies .
When they finally exploded, the light dazzled as they were smashed into pieces .
The corpses of these elders weren't even intact . As the Chinese saying goes, they died without a burial place .
