Chapter 69: Promoted to Senior Disciple
Then came a scream . Liu Song fell reluctantly . He had made his subordinates pay the price before he died, one dead and one injured .
The atmosphere was charged with tension when the throng saw Liu Song was dead .
"Bring me the cane!" However, Jiang Chen didn't want to let Zheng Ping go . He asked for the cane of the Hall of Penal Law .
It was called the snake cane, since it looked like a snake in one's hand . In fact, it was made from snakeskin and had been soaked in a special liquid medicine . It was hard to even hold the cane .
Zheng Ping turned pale and shouted angrily, "Jiang Chen, are you going to carry out the caning sentence here?!"
There were so many people watching . If he was caned here, he would feel too humiliated to stay in the school .
Jiang Chen sneered . Ding Bai was also standing in silence . Of course, it was no problem for Mo Xu .
Zheng Ping tasted the feeling of desperation in an instant .
But it surprised them all when Jiang Chen put down the cane and went back to his house .
About fifteen minutes later, Jiang Chen carried Meng Hao outside while the throng was curiously watching .
Meng Hao had woken up after Jiang Chen's treatment .
Jiang Chen wanted to show him how Zheng Ping was caned!
Zheng Ping flew into a rage when he realized Jiang Chen's intention . He felt an absolutely irreconcilable hatred towards Jiang Chen .
But Jiang Chen didn't care . He picked the snake cane up .
"What are you waiting for?!" Jiang Chen shouted .
"Let's wait and see!" Zheng Ping gnashed his teeth and turned around helplessly .
Pah!
Without any hesitation, Jiang Chen started to cane Zheng Ping .
Zheng Ping almost shouted because of the sharp pain . He was trembling, and people saw there was blood from where he'd been hit .
"Are you pretending to be tough?" Jiang Chen sneered and didn't stop the caning .
The blare of the cane was no weaker than firecrackers . Soon Zheng Ping lost his balance and continued trembling .
However, it was still far away from one hundred strikes .
Zheng Ping's heart sank . His forehead was covered in sweat .
He would have begged for mercy if there were not so many people around, but people were watching . He had to hold up .
After the tenth caning, Zheng Ping half knelt down with a scream .
Many people turned around to avoid seeing this tragic scene .
"Er!"
Jiang Chen gave a hint to Liu Song's subordinates with his eyes . They understood his intention . With some hesitation, they came up to Zheng Ping to grab his arms so that he could stand up .
And Jiang Chen went on with the caning .
Zheng Ping almost couldn't hold on anymore . He started to curse Jiang Chen and his family . But after cursing, he started to cry and beg for mercy .
Meng Hao understood Jiang Chen was taking revenge for him . Although he didn't know the whole story, he felt so grateful that his pains were not really a big deal for him anymore .
After thirty hits, Zheng Ping was almost unconscious .
"I am tired . It's your turn . Don't be lazy . And you, go and find some water to pour on his head . "
Jiang Chen was still unwilling to let Zheng Ping go . People were shocked by his order .
"This guy is cruel," the disciples were thinking to themselves .
Suddenly Jiang Chen glanced at the onlookers . Many of the disciples looked down unconsciously, even including some senior disciples .
"Who else wants to help me teach that guy a lesson? Bring it on!" Jiang Chen shouted . Then he left Zheng Ping behind and carried Meng Hao back to continue the treatment .
So Zheng Ping's caning sentence went on . Liu Song's men were not as cruel as Jiang Chen, but they didn't dare go easy on Zheng Ping, either .
When the one hundred canings finally finished, Zheng Ping was already half dead . He was carried away in the end .
Liu Song's dead body was taken care of by the Hall of Penal Law .
The blood on the ground reminded the disciples of what had happened that day . Everyone left with conflicted feelings .
No one had expected Jiang Chen, who was deemed unpromising, to have such a stunning performance when he was framed .
Of course, he wouldn't have succeeded without Mo Xu's help .
Everyone was wondering how Jiang Chen had come to know Mo Xu .
After everyone left, Wen Xin and Mo Xu went into Jiang Chen's house .
Wen Xin didn't speak to him until he had finished treating Meng Hao .
"Princess, you are my friend from today on . Meng Hao would have died without your help . "
Jiang Chen looked serious . Then he said to Meng Hao, "Meng Hao, the princess appointed her maid to take care of you after you got injured . Otherwise you could have died . "
"Thank you, princess!" Meng Hao said seriously .
"Not at all . " Wen Xin waved her hand . She didn't think she had done anything great . Then she glanced at Jiang Chen and said incredulously, "You didn't regard me as a friend before?"
"Eh…" Jiang Chen scratched his head as though he didn't know how to respond .
At that moment, Mo Xu coughed to attract Jiang Chen's attention .
Jiang Chen nodded at Wen Xin and followed Mo Xu to the garden .
"Thank you for your help today, Elder Mo!" Jiang Chen said .
"You are welcome . The Hall of Penal Law went too far . They do need to be punished . "
Mo Xu smiled and said, "My young friend, are you satisfied with the result?"
Jiang Chen nodded . His anger had been completely erased .
Mo Xu rubbed his hands together and was ready to talk frankly .
"Elder, you've helped me a lot . I am so grateful to you . I saw you were troubled by the tactical formation . I would like to help you resolve the problem!"
"Great . Great!"
Mo Xu was glad to see he knew so well the ways of the world . He didn't even need to persuade Jiang Chen .
"Jiang Chen, how much do you know about tactical formations?"
Since he had agreed, next Mo Xu needed to know his level .
Jiang Chen hesitated, since he didn't know how to define his level .
What did the people of the Sacred Zone call him? The first tactical formation master of the Sacred Zone?
Of course, he wouldn't tell Mo Xu this title . In the end he said humbly, "I'm very skilled . "
"…" Mo Xu looked at Jiang Chen, trying to figure out what he meant .
"He must be confident enough to resolve the problem of the great formation of the mountain protection, but too shy to tell me," Mo Xu thought to himself .
In this regard, Mo Xu was right .
"But, Elder Mo, is the great formation of the mountain protection crucial?" Jiang Chen smiled .
"Sure," Mo Xu answered immediately .
"If I fix it, will that be a great contribution?"
"Certainly . "
"Is it worth a million contributions?" Jiang Chen asked .
The other elders must have been surprised by him, but Mo Xu thought for a while and said, "Of course it's worth that . "
Jiang Chen smiled with satisfaction .
Three days later, Jiang Chen was promoted to senior disciple . The news shocked the whole Natural Law School .
Jiang Chen was promoted to senior after only two weeks of junior life . He must have had a great deal of money .
But, this possibility could be ruled out .
Jiang Chen was from the Hundred Thousand Mountains . He definitely didn't have a million rose gold coins .
No one knew the real reason . People only knew it was Elder Mo Xu who promoted him, so some thought he could be Elder Mo's illegitimate son .
If he wasn't, why would Elder Mo take care of Jiang Chen like this?
