Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 2732: Chapter 2735: Somewhat Unexpected

"Jiang Chen, why don’t you stay here tonight!"

Ouyang Song asked with a gentle smile.

Due to the previous incident of self-imposed exile, Ouyang Song understood that Jiang Chen had some grievances with Changling Academy, and upon encountering him now, he hoped even more to ease the relationship between them.

There was also a hint of expectation in the eyes of Ouyang Ruoxue and others. They also wanted to interact more with this famous junior. In their eyes, Jiang Chen might be someone they could never catch up with in the future.

"Elder Ouyang, I’m sorry, but I prefer to stay with Changlin Academy. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen my classmates, and I want to gather with them!"

Jiang Chen politely declined. He had purchased a batch of basic resources from Pang Guang that he needed to deliver to Changlin Academy.

Ouyang Song’s expression slightly changed, and he sighed inwardly, realizing that in Jiang Chen’s heart, Changling Academy could not compare to Changlin Academy.

"Alright then, Ruo Xue, why don’t you go and have some fun too? Haven’t you also studied at Changlin Academy for a few years? Go visit Chancellor Jian and the others."

Ouyang Song nodded regretfully and turned to instruct Ouyang Ruoxue.

"Sure!"

Ouyang Ruoxue understood Ouyang Song’s intentions and she too wanted to have more interaction with Jiang Chen. She nodded gently in agreement.

"Senior Zhuo, Feng Qingyang, Ling’er, why don’t you all come along? I’ll introduce you to some friends."

Jiang Chen turned to invite Zhuo Bufan and the others. Zhuo Bufan and the others were students of Changling Academy, and if they suddenly went to Changlin Academy, it might cause some unfriendly remarks. Now that Jiang Chen invited them in front of everyone from Changling Academy, such issues wouldn’t arise.

"Sure! I’ve been wanting to see the place where Brother Jiang Chen used to train at Changlin Academy."

Lei Ling’er spoke happily.

Zhuo Bufan and the other two pondered for a moment and nodded lightly.

Jiang Chen bade farewell and led Zhuo Bufan and the others towards the place where people from Changlin Academy were staying, leaving behind Ouyang Song and others filled with regret.

At the courtyard where Changlin Academy resides.

Changlin Academy is only a junior academy, but it is still one of the four major branches of Changling Academy, and it has its independent courtyard in the academy street, although it is somewhat smaller than the courtyard of Changling Academy.

This time, Jian Cangqiong personally led the team, assisted by Sang Zhenye, and Jian Wuheng acted as the main combatant. Besides them, there were Zhang Qian and several other excellent students, but they did not have any slots for competitions at the Void Refinement Realm and Integration Realm Levels, as their strength was not quite there yet.

The front hall of Changlin Academy was bustling, with Jian Cangqiong and Sang Zhenye hosting guests. For cultivators, meeting guests at night is much the same as during the day, and the reason why some people visited so late was mostly because of today’s auction.

In the courtyard’s pavilion, Jian Cangqiong, Sang Zhenye, and four elders were sitting together. Jian Cangqiong sat in the chief seat, with Sang Zhengye on the left and the Saint Elder of the Canghai Trade Alliance, who is also an alumnus of Changlin Academy, Sun Changming on the right.

The other three were chancellors from the other three branch academies of Changling Academy, with Jian Wuheng standing behind Jian Cangqiong. He is now the benchmark of the younger generation of Changlin Academy, especially after the academy made a certain decision, which led him to leave Changling Academy.

"Chancellor Jian, your Changlin Academy truly has an extraordinary student!"

One chancellor spoke with envy looking at Jian Cangqiong.

"Chancellor Meng, you flatter us. The students of your academy are also excellent!"

Jian Cangqiong replied with a smile. Although it was a modest remark, it could hardly conceal the pride and glory in his eyes.

"Chancellor Jian, about our proposal..."

Another chancellor looked at Jian Cangqiong with some eagerness.

Jian Cangqiong gave a slight smile, "Chancellor Lu, the opportunity that Jiang Chen has gained is his own. Even our Changlin Academy does not have the right to ask him to share his resources. It’s best not to mention this again, to avoid any bad feelings!"

"Haha, Chancellor Jian, don’t misunderstand. We are not here to demand resources. We were thinking if we could trade for something with Jiang Chen."

The last branch chancellor also spoke, trying to persuade.

"Trade? Chancellor Qian, please, do inform us what your academy has to offer that could match the Heart Demon Flame. Or perhaps you might have any of the three Spiritual Treasures Jiang Chen requires. If so, I can contact Jiang Chen to trade with you!"

Jian Cangqiong casually glanced at the speaker.

"This..."

Chancellor Qian’s face changed. They are also a branch academy, so how could they possibly have Spiritual Treasures that even a Marquis Mansion is reluctant to part with?

But to give up just like this, they were indeed unwilling.

The three of them had been stuck at the peak of the Integration Realm for years. It was because the three of them were there that their academy had not been considered replaceable by junior academies in their region, unlike Changlin Academy.

Of course, since the last time Changlin Academy revealed several individuals at the Integration Realm Peak, it had stunned all the junior academies in the region instantly.

And now, with Jian Cangqiong making further breakthroughs, no one dared to covet Changlin Academy’s title as a branch anymore. They simply awaited the completion of the five-year term, aiming to compete for the title of Changling Academy’s branch again in the next session.

Because of Jiang Chen’s matter, and after the two attacks on the academy where Changling Academy had not arrived in time for support, all the elders, teachers, and students of Changlin Academy collectively proposed for Jian Cangqiong to negotiate, leading to the academy’s detachment from Changling Academy, becoming truly independent.

They merely retained a position within the Academy Alliance, without any further restraint or interference.

Previously, students of the academy were unaware, but upon seeing Jin Ang and another individual, learning that a Saint could tear through space and travel great distances directly, Changlin Academy’s people no longer held the former expectations or longing for Changling Academy.

"Chancellor Jian, after all, we are also one of the four branch academies of Changling Academy, there is some kinship there!"

Chancellor Meng spoke with a light smile.

"Chancellor Meng, our Changlin Academy has already separated from Changling Academy. Perhaps this point you are still unaware of."

Jian Cangqiong quietly spoke.

"What?"

"You have separated from Changling Academy?!"

Chancellor Meng and the others shouted out in surprise.

"Chancellors, we have indeed separated from Changling Academy. Even if Chancellor Tai Yuan came, they couldn’t use branch academy matters as leverage."

Sang Zhenye spoke indifferently, his eyes flashing a trace of displeasure.

In the past, these three branch academies had always been indifferent towards Changlin Academy. Now, upon hearing that Jiang Chen had valuable treasures, they all poured in, and Sang Zhenye held them in utter contempt!

The faces of the three chancellors turned a bit unsightly, casting a glance at Sang Zhenye, showing some discontent in their eyes.

"What I, Jiang Chen, have is mine. If you want it, come to me!"

A calm and indifferent voice rang out, as a group of six approached.

The people in the pavilion turned their heads to look, and Jian Cangqiong, Sang Zhenye, and Sun Changming all smiled.

The leader was Zhang Qian, who was visibly excited, followed by Jiang Chen and the others.
