Chapter 1438: Chapter 110: North out of the Bamboo Forest_3
Jiang Wang gave a bitter smile: "If there were a way to prove my innocence without damaging the spirit, I would try it!"
Zhongxuan Sheng heard the frustration in these words.
Throughout the development of the whole incident up till now, the most innocent person was Jiang Wang himself.
But now he still has to lie to protect himself because he has already realized: in this world, not being truly innocent guarantees you innocence!
You can be accused of the crime of communicating with demons for no reason, a Blood Puppet True Demon like Song Wanxi is enough to ruin him eternally.
"Jiang Wang." Zhongxuan Sheng looked at him and said very seriously: "You are too dazzling, you simply do not realize how dazzling you are. Wang Yiwu was defeated by you, the End of the World Platform is your stepping stone to fame, after the Yellow River Gathering, you are like the sun at noon! Do you know how many pairs of eyes are watching you?"
"Everyone can see you, everyone will see you. As soon as the gaze falls, the impact already happens. Kindness is mild, malice is glaring. So kindness often passes unnoticed, whereas malice accumulates, getting infinitely magnified."
"It makes you frustrated, makes you doubt yourself, makes you feel wronged and angry. If you think everyone is against you, why not look around, the people who support you are never few, those who believe in you are never few."
He pointed at himself: "At least these few hundred pounds of fat on me will always stand by your side."
Unexpectedly, Zhongxuan Sheng would say something like that.
Perhaps this chase on the Mirror World Platform has also left him apprehensive?
From Zhao Heng City to the Ancient Demon Cave in the Wu Yadu Mountains, it was indeed an extremely difficult journey. The hardest part was not the powerful opponents or the encountered dangers but simultaneously bearing stigma and enduring too much hostility.
It is that kind of grievance with no way to appeal, that kind of indignant cry, "How innocent am I?"
Thousands pointing fingers could end without illness.
How to avoid being overwhelmed when millions detest?
Hatred, detestation, injustice can either kill a person or kill their spirit. After being overwhelmed by these painful negatives, often what’s left is desolation... Even if alive, one is a completely different person.
From this comes anger, grievances, a heart that resents the world... It is truly common.
"A few hundred pounds of fat!" Jiang Wang gasped: "No wonder it’s so greasy!"
"I really miss when I first met you!" Zhongxuan Sheng gritted his teeth and said.
Jiang Wang raised his eyebrows: "I used to indulge you back then, right?"
Zhongxuan Sheng murmur: "Back then, you couldn’t beat me yet."
"Oh ho!" Jiang Wang laughed: "You want to hit me? Don’t say I don’t give you a chance, shall we take a round on the Discussion Platform? I’ll give you one hand."
In battle, giving one hand would almost halve the fighting power. freeweɓnovel.cøm
The fat on Zhongxuan Sheng’s face twitched, clearly tempted: "Will you spare the hand holding the sword?"
Jiang Wang generously replied: "I’ve already said I’d give you a chance, you choose which hand, and that’s the hand I’ll spare!"
Zhongxuan Sheng suddenly coldly sneered: "You’ve already achieved Tianfu!"
"I wish! Where is it that easy?" Jiang Wang replied with an innocent expression.
Zhongxuan Sheng laughed heartily: "Originally I had only thirty percent confidence, now I have a hundred percent! Good one, Jiang Wang, looking like a gentleman, but doing indecent things, playing dirty with me!"
Jiang Wang couldn’t fathom where he slipped up, couldn’t help but ask: "When did you find out?"
Zhongxuan Sheng’s laughter abruptly stopped, coldly replied: "Now."
Jiang Wang: ...
This looped deception really makes one’s teeth itch!
Zhongxuan Sheng asked again: "Since you’ve achieved Tianfu, have you engraved the Dao Technique of your Fifth Mansion?"
Jiang Wang shook his head truthfully: "I haven’t gotten the Fourth Inner Mansion done yet, haven’t found a suitable one."
"Alright." Zhongxuan Sheng smiled: "Find some place to hide for now, cover your identity well, while I go get some benefits for you."
Jiang Wang was stunned: "From whom?"
"You deserve being poor!" Zhongxuan Sheng had a look of frustration: "Haven’t I told you already? Daqi is pressuring Jinguo under the guise of fighting for justice on your behalf."
"So?"
"So you can’t show yourself for now, you have to hide properly, play the role of the missing genius well!"
"I know." Jiang Wang nodded: "I’m playing it right now!"
Zhongxuan Sheng sighed deeply: "You are, unmistakably, the world’s foremost Inner Mansion, unparalleled in faith and integrity Jiang Qingyang. You have no shame before heaven, no disgrace beneath earth. You are an unmatched genius, a fine young man in the human world! How can you conceal yourself and become a laughing stock?"
Jiang Wang didn’t care: "Oh, what’s wrong with that..."
Zhongxuan Sheng interrupted him sternly: "Unless there’s more money!"
Jiang Wang instantly sat up straight and replied with the same seriousness: "You’re right, I indeed sacrifice too much!"
