Chapter 1502: 160: Not Without Pride, Just Not Proud of Jiang Wang
Chapter 1502: Chapter 160: Not Without Pride, Just Not Proud of Jiang WangWhich genius from Various Countries doesn’t have ambition?
Even if they’re outdone one day, they won’t necessarily be outdone for a thousand days.
Even if they lose on the spot, they think of repaying the favor tomorrow.
This is the youthful ambition and the proud spirit of a genius.
If one loses the heart of invincibility, they cannot possess the momentum of invincibility.
It’s rare for anyone to worship a peer so much that they’d say “willing to be a lackey.”
No one thinks that Lin Xian can achieve Yan Dao, so when he says “before Yan Dao, I dare not compare to Jiang Wang,” he’s practically defining his lifetime.
If someone says Lin Xian is spineless, he fought fiercely against Summer Country’s Chu Min from start to finish on Guanhe Platform, and never retreated.
Yet, if you say he’s tough, why does he admire Jiang Wang to this extent?
He puts himself too low, and places Jiang Wang too high!
Many who didn’t go to Guanhe Platform cannot help but reevaluate the recently ended Yellow River Gathering, claiming to be in the top three in history, whether the Inner Court was more exciting than imagined?
Is Jiang Wang, the Yellow River Leader, stronger than imagined?
“Hahaha.” Gao Zhe laughed heartily: “As a friend of Jiang Qingyang, I have to acknowledge your insight! You have self-awareness. I imagine the rumors in Rong Country aren’t sanctioned by you!”
He expressed “understanding” from a position of superiority, also as Jiang Wang’s friend.
But Lin Xian just looked at him calmly and asked, “Does Young Master Gao have any other matters?”
“Willing to be a lackey for Jiang Qingyang,” may seem exaggerated or even sycophantic to others. But to him, who witnessed the legendary battle, praising Jiang Wang, who achieved the first Inner Mansion in history, was far from excessive. He had become the shadow he pursued in this life… Indeed, many voices echoed from Rong Country to restore national confidence after Jiang Wang’s disappearance, but it was time to wake up!
Self-deception is not advisable; the weaker one is, the more they should face the gap.
Thus, he seized the opportunity to express his stance publicly.
He spoke from the heart, hence he felt unashamed, not considering himself servile. As for how others perceive him, he doesn’t care.
Born in a small country like Rong Country, hasn’t he faced enough discrimination and disdain?
As for Gao Zhe’s recognition…
Just let him be happy!
Gao Zhe felt that he had struck the arrogance of Rong Country’s genius and represented Qi Country in knocking down Rong Country, and now he gazed proudly, asking with a smile: “With such insight, Brother Lin, how do you think I compare to Jiang Wang?”
Upon hearing this, Yan Fu was the first to walk away. Among those friendly with Jiang Wang, he and Gao Zhe had some connection, but not necessarily deep.
Yan Fu acts gently, treats people generously and boldly, maintaining good relations with many in Linzi’s young circle. Among these connections, there are naturally degrees of closeness.
It was Jiang Wang who helped him solve Jiang Wuyou’s troubles and accompanied him to the Liu Family of Fufeng. The connection, however, was not comparable to Gao Zhe’s mere drinking buddy status.
He spends lavishly and is generous to everyone, but has his own measure.
In his view, Gao Zhe had inflated too much. Previously, when he was subordinate in the family, he maintained humility. Now sitting firmly as the family heir, he shows some ignorance.
He leveraged the situation in Qi Country and Jiang Wang’s name to suppress Lin Xian, but now, does he want to lift himself too?
This isn’t what friends should do, and not something a clear-minded person would say.
Just not worth deep friendship.
So he demonstrated his stance by leaving.
Upon hearing this, Li Longchuan raised his sword-like brows, while Zhongxuan Sheng’s eyes narrowed with a smile.
Facing Gao Zhe, who was opposite him, Lin Xian merely smiled, said nothing, and turned to leave.
Gao Zhe’s face immediately soured: “What do you mean, Lin?”
Lin Xian continued on his way, leaving the words behind: “I don’t know why Jiang Qingyang has a friend like you; I also don’t know what you’re comparing with him.”
“Then do you think…” Gao Zhe looked at his back and threatened sinisterly: “How do you compare with me?!”
Lin Xian suddenly turned, his eyes cold like electricity: “The battle at Star Moon Plain has just started, fighting like this in the same formation is not commendable. After this battle, you can find me, making it past the second round will count as my loss!”
From a small country, facing the aristocratic genius from the Overlord Country…
He’s this arrogant!
The whole scene was in shock!
Lin Xian indeed isn’t spineless.
He merely isn’t arrogant against Jiang Wang!
Wen Lianmu, on the sidelines, felt his eyes slightly narrow unconsciously.
Lin Xian, possessing top-notch Divine Skills like Unrestrained, combined with a persistent personality and exquisite sword style. As a military record keeper in the Sky-covering Army, he has thoroughly studied this person. After all, the Eastern Region for the next few decades, cannot bypass these geniuses.
While Jiang Wang took the lead at Guanhe Platform, unquestioningly the world’s number one Inner Mansion. There isn’t completely no hope for surpassing him, he shouldn’t be worshipped by Lin Xian to such an extent.
So… what happened afterward?
Jiang Wang disappeared, did he hide in Rong Country?
After the Yellow River Gathering, to what extent has Jiang Wang progressed?
How could Lin Xian have the confidence to defeat Gao Zhe with one strike, yet have no spirit to compare with him?
He couldn’t help but glance at Wang Yiwu.
The person stood like a javelin, with no expression. He didn’t seem to think… Lin Xian’s words were excessive.
Indeed, proud as Wang Yiwu, the only recognized opponent of equal rank is Jiang Wang. So regardless of what praise is given to Jiang Wang, it seems he would approve…
In his eyes, not only is Gao Zhe deemed insignificant, but perhaps Lin Xian also isn’t worth the effort.
Even his pause to watch this dispute is merely due to hearing the name “Jiang Wang.” Lin Xian and Gao Zhe are scarcely worth attention.
This invincible mentality is worthy of Wen Lianmu’s admiration, yet it also gives rise to a hidden concern. Today’s Wang Yiwu does not lose to Jiang Mengxiong at the same stage years ago, but in those days Jiang Mengxiong was unbeatable in the same rank, today there is Jiang Qingyang!
Once Wang Yiwu realizes he can never catch up to Jiang Wang, how will he react? Can he face the gap calmly like Lin Xian, or will he… become dispirited?
Wen Lianmu quickly quashed this dangerous thought.
Impossible… No matter what Jiang Wang achieves, it can’t pull Wang Yiwu that far away. Perhaps Lin Xian is simply overreacting.
In this thought, Wen Lianmu couldn’t help but look at Lin Xian again.
The person stands like a deep abyss, outstanding amidst the crowd.
At a glance, he doesn’t look like someone inexperienced…
Lin Xian, claiming to be a lackey under Jiang Qingyang, yet speaking boldly against Gao Zhe, boasting that he wouldn’t need a second strike, shows no regard for Silent Sea Gao Clan’s face.
Gao Zhe was put in an awkward position, indecisive. He came to provoke using leverage, talking about his cultivation, what qualifies him for Guanhe Platform? Can he truly fight Lin Xian? Can he withstand Lin Xian’s second strike?
A moment’s hesitation and Lin Xian had already strode away.
Grinding his teeth, he was about to speak harshly, but realized too late for words.
He turned to find Yan Fu, but Yan Fu was long gone.
Looking again to Zhongxuan Sheng and Li Longchuan, he only saw two departing backs.
Thinking himself dignified as heir of the Silent Sea Gao Clan, new noble of Qi Country, why is he losing face so badly over a small country person?
The Gao family has hard connections within the palace, but locally they’ve only started building for a few years, having no foundation within the military. Right now in the barracks, whether Li Longchuan or Zhongxuan Sheng could easily suppress Rong Country matters, forcing Lin Xian to yield, but they’re clearly unwilling to involve…
Do they have Resentment Qi?
Where does their Resentment Qi come from!
His brotherhood with Jiang Wang is unquestionable, from shared drinks and borrowed reputation, what’s the issue? Why this extent?!
Yan Fu, Li Longchuan, Zhongxuan Sheng… Relying on family backgrounds, have never truly respected him! Always revolving around Jiang Wang, often ignoring his feelings. One moment asking Jiang Wang if he wants this, another moment asking him if that is good, never asking how he feels. Together at brothel outings or banquets, he is always alongside like a neglected prince, always like a follower behind the nobles.
Previously so, even now as Gao Clan heir, still this way!
He looked around, feeling as if everyone was laughing at him.
But geniuses from small countries were still distant; those near… Can he vent his anger on Wang Yiwu or Wen Lianmu?
“Huh, interesting.” Finally, he could only scoff, leaving alone.
But before that, the “audience” had dispersed long ago, ignoring his performance.
