Chapter 661: 661                                    
           									
After the bath, Jiang Chen took Lil Fan to see the two women, who were
having tea . 
"Why did the bath take you so .  .  . "
Yi Chen started to complain right away, but she stopped as soon as she saw
Jiang Chen's face . 
Jiang Chen had looked like a beggar .  Although his fine features still could be
vaguely seen, Yi Chen hadn't been in the mood to appreciate them . 
By then his ragged clothes had been off .  After the bath, his appearance had
totally changed . 
He's so handsome!
Even Wen Xin thought the same . 
Jiang Qingyu and Gao Yue were both pretty people .  It was natural for their
son to be good-looking, too .  Besides, Jiang Chen's introvert character and
deep look didn't make him any similar to a countryman . 
"Lil Fan, is he really from your village?" Yi Chen asked involuntarily . 
"No .  Big brother is from the sky .  He came with thunders and lightning," Lil Fan
said right away . 
He told the truth, but it was beyond the two women's imagination .  As a result,
they didn't take it seriously . 
"Great .  So, he won't embarrass us . "
They started to walk again .  Yi Chen was much nicer to Jiang Chen .  She was
extremely enjoying the looks from passerbys . 
"You don't have to be a servant when we return to the Clear Spirit Sect .  I can
find you a job as a steward," Yi Chen said . 
Jiang Chen shook his head, smiling bitterly .  He sighed about the importance
given to appearance . 
Then something occurred to him suddenly .  He said, "Have we already
arrived?"
"Yes .  The Ancient Sword Sect is on that mountain . "
Leaving the city through another city gate, they saw a wide road paved with
flagstones . 
    As they walked ahead, more and more practicers came into Jiang Chen's
sight . 
Most of them were Reaching Heaven States, who had just landed on the
road . 
Out of the respect for the Ancient Sword Sect, they didn't fly onto the
mountain directly . 
Jiang Chen felt like he was a part of the river flowing into a sea when they had
been at the mountain gate, since people stretched as far as the eye could
see . 
"Will they invite us to the Heavenly Mountain Platform?"
"I think so . "
"Then we'll see Apprentice Brother Song . "
The two women were talking in a low voice . 
There were so many people coming for the birthday party .  The Ancient Sword
Sect wouldn't look after all of them .  Some of them wouldn't even get the
chance to meet the protagonist of the birthday party . 
The Heavenly Mountain Platform was like VIP seats . 
Whether one could get invited onto it depended on three things . 
Identity, sincerity and talent . 
The identity referred to whether the guest was a Venerable .  Venerables didn't
have to land outside the sect .  They could just fly into the Ancient Sword Sect . 
The talent referred to whether the guest was a young genius .  That was what
all forces valued . 
As to the sincerity, it referred to the present .  It was human nature to attach
importance to presents . 
Wen Xin and Yi Chen were kind of talented, but they weren't the best .  They
hadn't thought about getting invited to the Heavenly Mountain Platform at all
in the first place . 
However, after an exchange of look, they walked towards the mountain gate
excitedly . 
Only two kinds of people had to wait in the queue .  The first kind was those
who wanted to prove their talent . 
                 
The other kind was who wanted to get their sincerity verified .  They would give
their gifts to the Ancient Sword Sect .  The sect would check the gifts one by
one . 
Those who wanted to prove neither their talent nor their sincerity could go
inside directly . 
Jiang Chen was disappointed at what he had seen .  He had held high
expectations of the Ancient Sword Sect when he had first heard about it . 
He wasn't aloof .  The Over Cloud Palace would take gifts, too . 
However, the Ancient Sword Sect's snobbishness was too obvious . 
Staying in the queue, Jiang Chen found those who wanted to prove their
talents were all in the late stage of the Reaching Heaven State . 
He was a little bit emotional since he felt he saw his old self in them . 
Suddenly, three people swaggered over .  Ignoring Wen Xin and Yi Chen's
angry look, they tried to jump the queue . 
"Hey! You shouldn't jump the queue!" Yi Chen couldn't swallow it .
