After the bath, Jiang Chen took Lil Fan to see the two women, who were
having tea .
"Why did the bath take you so . . . "
Yi Chen started to complain right away, but she stopped as soon as she saw
Jiang Chen's face .
Jiang Chen had looked like a beggar . Although his fine features still could be
vaguely seen, Yi Chen hadn't been in the mood to appreciate them .
By then his ragged clothes had been off . After the bath, his appearance had
totally changed .
He's so handsome!
Even Wen Xin thought the same .
Jiang Qingyu and Gao Yue were both pretty people . It was natural for their
son to be good-looking, too . Besides, Jiang Chen's introvert character and
deep look didn't make him any similar to a countryman .
"Lil Fan, is he really from your village?" Yi Chen asked involuntarily .
"No . Big brother is from the sky . He came with thunders and lightning," Lil Fan
said right away .
He told the truth, but it was beyond the two women's imagination . As a result,
they didn't take it seriously .
"Great . So, he won't embarrass us . "
They started to walk again . Yi Chen was much nicer to Jiang Chen . She was
extremely enjoying the looks from passerbys .
"You don't have to be a servant when we return to the Clear Spirit Sect . I can
find you a job as a steward," Yi Chen said .
Jiang Chen shook his head, smiling bitterly . He sighed about the importance
given to appearance .
Then something occurred to him suddenly . He said, "Have we already
arrived?"
"Yes . The Ancient Sword Sect is on that mountain . "
Leaving the city through another city gate, they saw a wide road paved with
flagstones .

As they walked ahead, more and more practicers came into Jiang Chen's
sight .
Most of them were Reaching Heaven States, who had just landed on the
road .
Out of the respect for the Ancient Sword Sect, they didn't fly onto the
mountain directly .
Jiang Chen felt like he was a part of the river flowing into a sea when they had
been at the mountain gate, since people stretched as far as the eye could
see .
"Will they invite us to the Heavenly Mountain Platform?"
"I think so . "
"Then we'll see Apprentice Brother Song . "
The two women were talking in a low voice .
There were so many people coming for the birthday party . The Ancient Sword
Sect wouldn't look after all of them . Some of them wouldn't even get the
chance to meet the protagonist of the birthday party .
The Heavenly Mountain Platform was like VIP seats .
Whether one could get invited onto it depended on three things .
Identity, sincerity and talent .
The identity referred to whether the guest was a Venerable . Venerables didn't
have to land outside the sect . They could just fly into the Ancient Sword Sect .
The talent referred to whether the guest was a young genius . That was what
all forces valued .
As to the sincerity, it referred to the present . It was human nature to attach
importance to presents .
Wen Xin and Yi Chen were kind of talented, but they weren't the best . They
hadn't thought about getting invited to the Heavenly Mountain Platform at all
in the first place .
However, after an exchange of look, they walked towards the mountain gate
excitedly .
Only two kinds of people had to wait in the queue . The first kind was those
who wanted to prove their talent .

The other kind was who wanted to get their sincerity verified . They would give
their gifts to the Ancient Sword Sect . The sect would check the gifts one by
one .
Those who wanted to prove neither their talent nor their sincerity could go
inside directly .
Jiang Chen was disappointed at what he had seen . He had held high
expectations of the Ancient Sword Sect when he had first heard about it .
He wasn't aloof . The Over Cloud Palace would take gifts, too .
However, the Ancient Sword Sect's snobbishness was too obvious .
Staying in the queue, Jiang Chen found those who wanted to prove their
talents were all in the late stage of the Reaching Heaven State .
He was a little bit emotional since he felt he saw his old self in them .
Suddenly, three people swaggered over . Ignoring Wen Xin and Yi Chen's
angry look, they tried to jump the queue .
"Hey! You shouldn't jump the queue!" Yi Chen couldn't swallow it .
"Aren't you the two sisters from the Clear Spirit Sect?"
"Are you in the wrong queue?"
"Yeah, why are you Clear Spirit Sect here? It's a waste of time . Why don't you
give your spots to us?"
The three people didn't feel sorry at all . They even scorned at the two women .
Jiang Chen found they were two women and a man in the same uniform .
They should be from the same sect .
"Oh, right . You are from the Primordial Wood Sect . I was wondering who were
so rude!"
Crossing her arms over her chest, Yi Chen said sarcastically after recognizing
who they were .
"Yi Chen, you are as silver-tongued as always . "
The leader of the three people from the Primordial Wood Sect was a tall slim
pretty woman . She was in Cloud Four of the Reaching Heaven State, stronger
than Yi Chen .
"You can keep arguing, but you should first decide who will stay here and who
will go to the end of the queue . "

Wen Xin and Yi Chen weren't the only people unhappy with the queue
jumping . Other people were also complaining .
"It's them who jumped the queue," Wen Xin argued, as if she was wronged .
"None of my business . "
The same man said indifferently .
"Go to the end of the queue, the only two Reaching Heaven States in the
Clear Spirit Sect," the woman from the Primordial Wood Sect said
sarcastically .
Yi Chen was so angry that she was going to draw her sword out . She had told
Lil Fan how great the Clear Spirit Sect was . How could she put up with their
acrid comments?
"What happened?"
A disciple of the Ancient Sword Sect walked over from the head of the queue .
"It's Apprentice Brother Song . "
Seeing that man coming, both Yi Chen and that woman called Shi Xiu got
nervous . They hurried to arrange their hair .
Jiang Chen didn't think it weird at all after seeing that Apprentice Brother
Song's face .
Handsome, tall and strong, he looked great in the close-fitting black robe he
was wearing .
"Apprentice Brother Song, they want to jump the queue!" Yi Chen said
immediately .
"Apprentice Brother Song, they are wasting their time . What can the Clear
Spirit Sect gift to show their sincerity?" Shi Ling from the Primordial Wood
Sect argued .
Apprentice Brother Song frowned at them .
"Apprentice sister, why don't you let me have a look at the gift first?" said
Apprentice Brother Song .
His response disappointed Jiang Chen, too .
As the most important disciple of the Ancient Sword Sect, he was an
unprincipled person . He didn't do anything to maintain the order .
However, Yi Chen didn't seem to think there was anything inappropriate . She
took the wooden box out complacently, throwing Shi Ling a glance .
Shi Ling rolled her eyes in an exaggerated way . Crossing her arms over the
chest, she was waiting to see what the Clear Spirit Sect had .
Unfortunately, where she was standing didn't allow her to see what was in the
box, but good for her, Apprentice Brother Song took the Redcloud Sword out
of the box .
The sheath didn't seem any special .
"Some short-sighted people give trash as a present," Shi Ling couldn't help
but scorn .
Apprentice Brother Song looked puzzled, until he drew the sword out .
He was pleasantly surprised when he had drawn only one-third of it out .
Changing a way to hold it, he looked like he was holding an extremely
valuable treasure .
He didn't draw the sword completely out, but kept looking at the pattern on the
blade .
"It's a magic weapon!"
The queue went into an uproar . Shi Ling's eyes almost popped out of her
head .
"It's a good sword! It's great!"
Apprentice Brother Song kept speaking approvingly . Wen Xin and Yi Chen
didn't have to wait in the queue anymore, since he was going to take them
onto the mountain in person .
Yi Chen felt she was on top of the world .
Leaving Shi Ling, who was feeling jealous, behind, the four followed
Apprentice Brother Song onto the mountain .
"Apprentice sister, where did you get the sword?" asked Apprentice Brother
Song .
Wen Xin and Yi Chen exchanged a look . They didn't know how to answer him .
"So, is there anything you can't tell me? If this sword is involved in some
crime, the Ancient Sword Sect won't accept it," Apprentice Brother Song said
seriously .
However, Jiang Chen knew from his look that he was hiding something while
he was speaking .
