The elders each spoke up, expressing their concerns. They sensed that the situation was more complicated than it seemed. If they hadn't witnessed Jiang Chen's dominance and strength firsthand, they would have dismissed a young man so easily. However, seeing his capabilities in person was extraordinary, prompting them to proceed with caution. At the very least, they needed to uncover Jiang Chen's background before discussing revenge.
"Are you suggesting that this kid might not be human?" Shangguan Yan furrowed his brow, calming down slightly. As members of the Hidden Sect, they were well aware that supernatural beings existed in this world. Even if he was at the Transcendent Realm, he was insignificant compared to these entities.
"Very likely," the elders nodded in agreement. This was the only explanation that made sense for a young man to possess such power.
"Regardless of whether he is human or not, I must avenge this grudge. Here's what we'll do: you all investigate his background first. If he truly isn't human, then he must be a malevolent entity. This would work to our advantage; we can unite with other Hidden Sects under the pretense of eradicating evil," Shangguan Yan declared, a hint of seriousness in his eyes.
The revenge plan of Tianlang Palace had no impact on Jiang Chen. At that moment, he was in Quiet Villa, focusing on refining the Zong Yun Jian.
As September came to an end and school resumed, Lin Jingzhu, Qin Xusha, Jiang Lu, and others returned to university.
The world continued to turn as usual, without any disturbances. Jiang Chen had initially planned to enter seclusion but decided against it upon remembering that he needed to attend his friend Wang Shun Yuan's wedding in October.
October was fast approaching.
During the October holiday, Huaxia would welcome its peak travel season, with airports and train stations bustling with people. However, for Jiang Chen, traveling was not an issue at all.
Wang Shun Yuan had already mentioned on WeChat that he would book plane tickets for friends and family attending the wedding, but Jiang Chen insisted he didn't want him to spend money on that.
On September 30th, a day early, Jiang Chen arrived in the capital. He didn't let Wang Shun Yuan come to pick him up; instead, he headed straight to the hotel Wang Shun Yuan had booked after getting off the plane.
At the hotel, Jiang Chen met his old friend Wang Shun Yuan, who was as warm and courteous as ever.
Also present were Wang Shun Yuan's two college roommates, introduced as Liu Ying and Gao Kang.
Since they were Wang Shun Yuan's roommates, Jiang Chen struck up a conversation with them to get a better understanding of their situation.
By coincidence, Liu Ying and Jiang Lu hailed from the same hometown—Liu Fei City. Liu Ying had worked there initially but left for Shenzhen last year and had been there for about a year now.
Gao Kang was an academic achiever who had been accepted into graduate school and was currently studying at Yue Province University of Science and Technology.
Gao Kang was somewhat introverted; aside from his studies, he seemed uninterested in much else but was still a decent person.
Among them, Liu Ying was still single while Gao Kang had recently started dating someone just a month ago.
After some lively small talk, Wang Shun Yuan checked the time on his phone and said, "Let’s go! The four of us should get together for drinks today."
"Make sure to invite your sister-in-law," Liu Ying joked.
"She's already at the restaurant waiting along with her college roommate and best friend. Liu Ying and Jiang Chen—you two are still single, right? You better make a good impression later," Wang Shun Yuan said.
"I'll have to put in some effort," Liu Ying replied.
"I don't need it!" Jiang Chen replied.
"Jiang Chen, do you have a girlfriend?" Wang Shun Yuan and Gao Kang looked at Jiang Chen, pressing for an answer.
"Not really," Jiang Chen said truthfully, his face calm and his heart steady.
