Chapter 288: I Have Something to Say

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Shi Wenxuan refused to believe it. He kept staring at the Golden Dragon Card and noticed something strange.

“That card isn’t yours!”

Shi Wenxuan was excited with his finding. He said, “The card is real, but who knows whether you stole it from someone or found it on the street. Cards issued by the bank require identification. The dragon on the card will only move when the real owner holds it.”

With his explanation, others did find that although the Golden Dragon Card was giving off a gentle light, the dragon on it wasn’t moving.

In comparison, the tiger on Shi Wenxuan’s Purple Tiger Card was growling.

The steward was struck dumb. He hadn’t noticed this detail, since he had been completely shocked by the Golden Dragon Card.

“Did you steal it or find it on the street? Did you think you could put on airs at the Sacred Wind Chamber of Commerce with it?” one of Shi Wenxuan’s followers scorned.

Ying Wushuang didn’t find this to be a big deal. She said, “You’re right. This isn’t my card. It’s his.”

Then she threw the Golden Dragon Card into the air.

Jiang Chen caught it. As soon as he touched the card, the golden dragon on it came alive. It was growling and flying across the air.

“Ah!”

Shi Wenxuan, who had been gloating, was shocked. Crimson Moon and Yi Qing were more surprised than they had been when they saw Ying Wushuang take out the Golden Dragon Card.

The Golden Dragon Card was a symbol of nobility. It represented endless wealth.

Crimson Moon knew Jiang Chen too well to believe it, but she couldn’t deny what she had witnessed.

“You, make way!”

The steward was surprised to see this man, who had only asked for information without buying anything, possessed a Golden Dragon Card. He started to take action when he had confirmed nothing was wrong.

He made those who had stopped Jiang Chen leave first so that he and Ying Wushuang could come and go as they wished.

Shi Wenxuan’s followers went back to the box to wait for Shi Wenxuan’s orders.

“Hum.”

Shi Wenxuan knew it would be impossible for him to deal with Jiang Chen in the Sacred Wind Chamber of Commerce. Although he didn’t want to give up, he had to.

Crimson Moon and Yi Qing took the chance to walk out of the box, but they didn’t leave.

“These people were being so impolite to me, and they blocked my way. I’m guessing that’s against the rules of the chamber of commerce, isn’t it?” said Jiang Chen.

When people had thought the affair was already over, Jiang Chen put them in a daze. Shi Wenxuan was the most irritated. He looked towards Jiang Chen with anger.

“Yeah?”

The steward frowned. The Sacred Wind Chamber of Commerce didn’t have a recording tactical formation deployed, so it would be extremely difficult to figure out what had actually happened.

Fortunately, a staff member had been in the box since the beginning, so he recounted the whole story to the steward.

The steward made a decision after having heard the story. He said, “Young Master Shi, I’ll have to ask your friends to leave.”

Shi Wenxuan’s so-called friends glanced at each other. That wasn’t what they had expected when they had blocked Jiang Chen’s way.

“Darn it. Are you sure you want to offend me?!” Shi Wenxuan was a narrow-minded man; he didn’t want to lose face. Of course he wouldn’t agree.

“That is the rule of the chamber of commerce!”

However, the steward was very resolute. One owned a Purple Tiger Card, while the other had a Golden Dragon Card. It wasn’t difficult to decide whom to support.

“All right! All right! Let’s go!”

Shi Wenxuan had tried to be a bully, but in the end, he had ended up like this. His expression was totally distorted.

Crimson Moon and Yi Qing didn’t move until the rest had left.

“Jiang Chen, I didn’t know what he was up to. He said he wanted to make friends with you,” Crimson Moon explained before leaving.

She had known she was in the wrong since the beginning. The question was whether she should apologize to him or not. It wasn’t about saving face, but it wouldn’t make a big difference in their relationship if they had one more problem between them.

Yet she thought it was necessary to give him a simple explanation so that she wouldn’t leave him a terrible impression of her, all because of Shi Wenxuan.

She hadn’t realized it could be dangerous when she started to care about other people’s opinions of her.

“I can prove it,” said Yi Qing.

“Yeah, I could tell.”

Jiang Chen had known when he saw Shi Wenxuan ready to slap her. He said, “Are you leaving? Why don’t you stay?”

Crimson Moon and Yi Qing glanced at each other. It was strange that they didn’t refuse him.

The steward led them to the most luxurious box they had in the chamber of commerce. It was basically empty even though four people were sitting in it.

“How do you know Shi Wenxuan?” Jiang Chen asked out of curiosity after they had sat down.

“We met him on the street. We don’t know him well,” said Crimson Moon.

“Big mouthfuls often choke. Looks like it’s true,” Jiang Chen exclaimed.

It took the three women a good while to realize he had been talking about Shi Wenxuan.

Shi Wenxuan had invited Crimson Moon and Yi Qing, then set his eyes on Ying Wushuang. He had tried to seduce these pretty ladies with his wealth and background.

Crimson Moon was from the Fire Field. Yi Qing didn’t look like she was from an aristocratic family either, not to mention Ying Wushuang.

Shi Wenxuan had chosen these women so that he could get something from them with his wealth, but to his surprise, Ying Wushuang hadn’t bought it at all. Crimson Moon and Yi Qing were also proud women.

At the same time, the auction was in progress. They had missed the start due to the incident.

The staff of the chamber of commerce started to introduce the auction items when he saw them looking towards downstairs.

“The first item is clinging fire crystal. It’s thought to be the most effective spiritual item for learning the creation of fire. The starting price is 3 million middle-grade yuan stones.”

The price had gone up to 9 million by that time. There were less and less bidders.

In the end, it was sold to the Gaos for 11 million.

“The Gaos have the blood of the phoenix. The enhancement of the creation of fire will be very beneficial to them.”

The three women looked towards Jiang Chen. All of them recalled the fight between him and Gao Tiange.

Many people were curious to know what kind of problem he had with the Gaos, but none of the three was close enough to him to ask him about it.

The second auction item wasn’t as great as the first one. That meant that except for the last item, none of the auction items would top the clinging fire crystal.

“I have a list here. Please confirm how many things on the list you need. Then come to me with your offer.”

Jiang Chen took out a rolled parchment on which he had written down the things he needed. All of them were crucial for him to defeat Shui Chun in three days.

The staff took it and left the box respectfully.

Ying Wushuang looked at him, puzzled.

“I’ll make a copy of the list for you,” said Jiang Chen.

“Okay.” Ying Wushuang relaxed.

Crimson Moon and Yi Qing were curious. They didn’t know what the relationship was between Jiang Chen and Ying Wushuang.

They knew Ying Wushuang was the captain of the Department of Discipline. She was almost famous for her bad temper and beauty.

They had heard she had a problem with the leader of the Sword Association of the Hero Palace. Jiang Chen had also had a conflict with the Sword Association, too. Could it be because of her?

They didn’t look like a couple at all.

“Jiang Chen, I’ve got something to discuss with you,” Crimson Moon suddenly said.

“What?”

Crimson Moon didn’t speak. She stood up and walked towards the door.

Jiang Chen shook his head. As a princess, she didn’t realize what was wrong with her temper, but he was curious to know what she wanted to talk about. Anyway, the auction was more boring than he had imagined.

“I finished my practice in the Palace of Sacred Point not long ago. I’ve formed all 49 of my holy points and I’m in the middle of developing my first extraordinary meridian. I want to ask you... do I need to develop it?” said Crimson Moon.
