The Lucky One


    The Fourth


    The scene was truly shocking. This was the true definition of might. This wasn’t only snatching one’s seat, this was a direct upation of the pavilion. A loudmotion was heard from the bystanders at the side of theke, making Jiang Chen the focus of their attention.


    “My god! Where did this man came from? How can he be this strong? A Sixth Grade Combat Emperor has thrown all the Ninth Grade Combat Emperors out? Could he be a genius of an ancient family on the Pure Land?”


    “Domineering…absolutely domineering. Every one of them has been thrown out into theke. Those are the geniuses of different major powers. Every one of them has a prestigious background and were powerful, but they were all thrown into theke just like that. All of their faces was lost.”


    “It seems like thepetition to marry youngdy Wu Ningzhu will be very lively this time. This white-clothed youth must be the strongest dark horse. He may probably be the son-inw adored by Dan King. Resources would be endless after getting connected with a prominent person.”


    ……..


    Nobody could calm their emotions. They had just witnessed a scene which they didn’t even dare to imagine. It was a scene where the geniuses shed and fought. All of the geniuses here were very strong, but the white-clothed youth was stronger and very aggressive. He threw everyone into theke regardless of who they were.


    The geniuses at the other pavilions looked over to see what had happened. Their faces changed in an instant the moment they looked at Jiang Chen. To them, he was a very powerful enemy.


    “Dammit! How can that dude grow so fast? No wonder those two dudes from Skyhill School were killed by him. It looks like it would be pretty hard for us to take revenge.”


    “Yeah. That man just grows too fast. If he isn’t eliminated quickly, he would be a huge trouble in the future. If he seeds in thispetition, he would be recognized by Dan King and would gain ess to a lot of resources, increasing his rate of growth even more. It would be very unfavorable to us if Neb Sect got the support of the Dan King County.”


    The faces of the geniuses from the Freedom Pce and Tan Family had turned unpleasantly ugly. Others might not know of Jiang Chen’s background, but they—who came from Mysterious Domain—knew everything about him. Currently, Jiang Chen was already a notorious figure of Mysterious Domain, no one in the domain would say that they had never heard of him. However, judging from the present situation, Jiang Chen’s fame wouldn’t only linger in Mysterious Domain but also in the entire Divine Continent after thepetition for the son-inw ended.


    “Don’t worry. He is merely a Sixth Grade Combat Emperor. ording to my knowledge, the geniuses of the other big domains have a very powerful trump cards with them. Jiang Chen will never be their opponent even if he is strong.”


    The leader of the Tan Family’s group showed a cold smile on his face.


    “Interesting, seems like thepetition will be very interesting this time.”


    A youth who wore ck clothes fixed his de-sharp eyes to Jiang Chen. A smile was expressed at the side of his mouth. He was also a Ninth Grade Combat Emperor. Although he witnessed Jiang Chen’s fearsomeness just now, he didn’t even feel intimidated in the slightest—as if he was going to dominate Jiang Chen and was pretty sure of winning thispetition.


    Besides this youth in ck, there were also a few who seemed very confident. Despite the fact that Jiang Chen had performed a tyrannical act, they didn’t seem to put him in their eyes.


    Jiang Chen ignored the gazes that fell upon him. He simply picked a seat and sat on it. Such a big pavilion, but it was only upied by three men and a dog. Although there were many avable seats in the pavilion, no one dared to go over there. This building had been fully booked by Jiang Chen. Wouldn’t it be seeking for one’s disgrace if they went over there?


    *Hua La*


    Those experts that were thrown into theke had flown out one after another. The protective barrier of Yuan Force had evaporated all the water that was stuck on their bodies. Even so, they were unable to cover their terrible blunder.


    A stout and strong youth was full of fury. He drifted on theke, pointed at Jiang Chen and mored. “Brat! I dare you to state your name!”


    “Jiang Chen of Neb Sect in Mysterious Domain.”


    Jiang Chen dered his name loudly without attempting to hide anything. His purpose ofing to Dan Yuan City was for Wu Ningzhu. He also needed powerful alliance. The Dan King County was a powerful force. If he could establish a good rtionship with it, it would bring great benefits to Neb Sect. Thus, Jiang Chen had to reveal his identity.


    “Jiang Chen, I, Lu Wang, will remember today’s incident. When thepetition begins, I will settle today’s score.”


    Lu Wang stepped in the air and left after saying his piece. The other geniuses who rushed out theke felt that they didn’t have the face to continue staying there, and so they left the ce too .


    “That fatty was Lu Wang. I heard that that man is very famous in the Vertical Domain. His fast de can overrun ces under the heavens. I had never imagined that he would be defeated under Jiang Chen’s hands, but someone like him must have had a very powerful trump card.”


    “There’s no doubt about it. Which powerful genius doesn’t have a trump card? But, they won’t easily show it until the day of thepetition.”


    ……..


    The moonlight shone like the waves on theke. Today’s moon was very round and beautiful. Apanied with the Blue Moon Lake that was brightly lit, the surface of theke reflected the colorful brilliance of the night. It was very fascinating.


    Such a night was hard toe by. It was simr to the hardly lively crowd that gathered around the Blue Moon Lake. They were all waiting for the appearance of Wu Ningzhu and, at the same time, they were all bing impatient.


    All of a sudden, a melodious sound of guzheng sounded from afar. The sound was clear and melodious. Strands of the sound reached the ears of the people around theke, it made them feel veryfortable. A flower-decorated boat then appeared in the middle of Blue Moon Lake. It wasn’t arge boat. Atop the boat a room was built . It was a beautiful room, covered with silk and brocade, andyered with seven glowing colors—like a rainbow.


    A pretty girl was sitting in front of the room. In front of her was a table that waspletely made of crystal. There was guzheng on the table. Her jade-like hands were like butterflies moving back and forth of the musical instrument. Beautiful notes travelled through the air, causing ripples to appear on top of theke.


    The musical sound was just too pleasant. For a moment, there was no other sound besides the beautiful melody. It was akin to the most beautiful thing in the world, the people couldn’t help but be fascinated by it.


    Jiang Chen’s gaze fell upon the elegant figure, and then he fixed his gaze on that figure. Their feelings grew deeper and stronger overtime. It all started the moment her veil was taken off.


    They experienced different kinds of situation, from the Eastern Continent to the Divine Continent but it happened for quite some time now. At that time, he still didn’t have any news about Wu Ningzhu, which raised his concern for her. After knowing that she had be the foster daughter of Dan King, he still didn’t put down his worries. It was like his worries for Yan Chen Yu, even though she was very far away and at the other side of the world, he still couldn’t get away from the thought.


    At the current moment, Wu Ningzhu had truly appeared in front of him. He could loosen his concern now.


    She was wearing a veil on her face, apanied by a pretty female servant just like before.


    When the melody ended, Wu Ningzhu stood up slowly and went into the room. Only now did the people start to regain theirposure.


    “A very nice music. Truly unpredictable, Wu Ningzhu actually has such a great musical talent.”


    “Beautiful, really beautiful. Did you all see Wu Ningzhu’s figure? Even with the veil, her beauty is enough to conquer all men. Any man who can win her tender care will be a bliss for him.”


    “If I can find apanion like her, even if I can only live for one day, it’s still worth it.”


    ……..


    Everyone was emotionally praising the melody of the music and the elegance of that beauty. They felt satisfied even if they didn’t see the real face of Wu Ningzhu.


    “Youngdy Wu Ningzhu, I am Wu Sheng of the Heavenly Domain. May I have a talk with you on your boat? Could youngdy Wu Ningzhu allow my little selfish wish?”


    At this moment, a youth stood up from the pavilion and said to Wu Ningzhu while holding his fists.


    “I am Huang Shengwen of the Earth Domain, specifically here for Wu Ningzhu. If I can obtain the good graces of youngdy Wu Ningzhu, I will have no more regrets in my life.”


    ……..


    The geniuses in the pavilions began to perform their sweet talk to Wu Ningzhu. All of them wished that they could get the permission to meet her on the flower-decorated boat because that would be extremely honorable.


    The eight domains of Divine Continent were named Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, Huang, Qian, Kun, Vertical and Horizontal. Besides these eight domains, there is also a territory at the center most of the continent. It was called the Pure Land of Divine Continent. That is the maind of the Divine Continent and is also the most powerful territory of the continent.


    Wu Ningzhu waspletely indifferent to the geniuses’ requests. At this time, the servant girl moved forward, held her fists and said to them with a clear voice, “All geniuses, I am Dong Mei. I understand that everyone desires to meet our youngdy. You all don’t have to be so hasty. Everybody will have a chance to see her real face on the day of thepetition. Our youngdy has seen your elegant demeanor and felt fortunate enough to be able to meet you all. Thus, she has decided to allow one person toe on the boat to have a date with her.”


    As her voice faded, amotion was created from the crowd. Everyone was guessing who this lucky one would be. Nervousness was shown on the faces of these geniuses. Some were tidying their sleeves and clothes, showing their most stately and handsome appearance.


    “I have no idea who will be the lucky one today. He will have a chance to attract youngdy Wu Ningzhu and be the most possible person to be the son-inw of Dan King.”


    “That’s right. There are so many geniuses here. It’s not easy to be selected by youngdy Wu Ningzhu.”


    “Likewise, whoever goes to the boat will be hated and would be themon target of all, but it’s totally worth it.”


    ……..


    Arguments andments were flooding from the crowd. After a while, it turned into silence, as they were expecting Dong Mei to announce the name of the lucky one.


    “Has young gentleman Jiange?”


    Dong Mei appeared to be slightly shy and said to the geniuses of pavilions.


    “Keke…Little Chen, it’s your turn.”


    Nangong Wentian chuckled. He wasn’t surprised of this conclusion. If the person invited to the boat wasn’t Jiang Chen, it would be out of the norm instead.
