Chapter 1770 (Raw 1782): Being Himself

The Cluster Lord!

The person whom Jiang Cheng wanted to slap earlier was Cluster Lord Gou Yu, the most beloved little daughter of the Soaring Dragon Marquis.

This was the person that Liu Ruyue instructed to never, ever offend if possible.

Now, however, everything was messed up.

"Cluster Lord, who are they?"

Lan Luo answered indifferently, "The Dragon Race's people."

Wu Xu said abashedly, "We have greatly offended you; I'm truly sorry for that. It was just a misunderstanding earlier. Our Holy Daughter is also very respectful of the Soaring Dragon Marquis and does not have any malicious intentions towards the Cluster Lord. Earlier, Junior Brother Jiang Cheng only mistook Cluster Lord for…"

Lan Luo raised her hand, stopping Wu Xu from continuing. Then, she said indifferently, "It's fine. I also do not want any disagreement with the Dragon Race. However, this is my conferred land. There are some things that I have authority over. I do not want to see you all in Soaring Dragon City again."

"I understand. I apologize for the great offense."

Wu Xu released his bated breath. Fortunately, this Cluster Lord Gou Yu was not an unreasonable person.

If a conflict happened and they fought, as people who came from far away, the Dragon Race's group would not be a match for the Cluster Lord's Residence, no matter what.

More importantly, the ones who were unreasonable in the first place were the Dragon Race's people. Jiang Cheng had wanted to slap the Cluster Lord earlier. This placed them in an extremely awkward position. There was no way to argue that, so they could only apologize and make compensation for their offense.

Wu Xu's group arrived on the street.

There, they saw Jiang Cheng climb out of a deep pit in the ground with much difficulty. His face was pale, and he looked extremely sullen.

Jiang Cheng was actually defeated by the mixed-blood dragon, whom he looked down on, in one move.

Jiang Cheng, who took great pride in his White Dragon bloodline, simply could not accept this.

"Senior Brother Wu, why did you all come out? Help me capture that fellow. If we attack together, he cannot do anything," Jiang Cheng immediately shouted when he saw Wu Xu's group step out with embarrassed expressions.

"Senior Brother Jiang, we have to go…today's matter…" a girl said somewhat timidly. Clearly, she usually feared this Jiang Cheng.

Wu Xu patted that girl's shoulder and said, "Let me do it. Junior Brother Jiang, the person you wanted to slap earlier was Cluster Lord Gou Yu."

"What?!"

Jiang Cheng looked shocked. He simply could not believe this. How could this be possible?

How could that mixed-blood dragon have a connection with Cluster Lord Gou Yu and even meet in a place like the Smiling Daughter Pavilion?

"Junior Brother Jiang, there is no need to feel responsible for this. You cannot be blamed for this matter. After all, who could have expected that she would be Cluster Lord Gou Yu?" Wu Xu consoled softly when he saw Jiang Cheng's appearance.

Jiang Cheng said obstinately, "She is the Cluster Lord. I am the one who offended her. I was in the wrong; let me shoulder all the blame. However, we still have to capture that Xiao Chen. We must bring him away. We must accomplish what Senior Sister instructed."

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

A few figures descended from the top of the building. Then, they gazed expressionlessly at Jiang Cheng and the others.

"When are you all leaving? The Cluster Lord is already urging you on," the leader said politely as he looked at Wu Xu.

Unwilling to submit, Jiang Cheng opened his mouth to say something.

Wu Xu stopped Jiang Cheng and smiled. "It's fine. We are leaving now."

At the same time, Wu Xu sent a voice projection to Jiang Cheng. Even a fool can tell that the Cluster Lord and Xiao Chen have an extraordinary connection. Arguing is useless. We should just report all this to First Senior Sister and let her decide.

Jiang Cheng felt wronged in his heart. However, at this moment, the situation was more than he could handle.

No matter how sullen or dissatisfied he was, he could only sulk about it.

In reality, this way was better for Jiang Cheng. If he continued to seek trouble for Xiao Chen, he would only embarrass himself further.

However, Jiang Cheng himself foolishly did not know that.

The group left Soaring Dragon City in about seven minutes. As the group looked at the city walls, they felt somewhat disappointed.

The group did not know how to face their first senior sister when they returned.

"It is truly unexpected that this Xiao Chen is a person of the Dragon Race. Despite having the bloodline of a false dragon, he could still erupt with such a terrifying Dragon Might," someone sighed. The scene of Xiao Chen's final exchange with Jiang Cheng, ending with Xiao Chen kicking Jiang Cheng away, still lingered in his mind.

Although Jiang Cheng's cultivation was not high, he had limitless potential. In the White Dragon Race, it was said that if a Star Venerate did not come, no one could defeat him.

Within the same cultivation, none of the strongest peak Major Primal Core experts could defeat Jiang Cheng.

In the future, when Jiang Cheng broke through Star Venerate, he would definitely rise very high. The Elders of the White Dragon bloodline set great hopes on him.

After Jiang Cheng went to Ancestor Dragon City, the Elders kept asking Liu Ruyue to take care of him.

However, Jiang Cheng suffered a great defeat today—furthermore, he had lost in such an unsightly manner. That was simply inconceivable.

Not feeling convinced, Jiang Cheng said, "I was just careless. If we fight again, I absolutely will not lose to him."

Wu Xu sighed and said, "The false dragon bloodlines are not filled with only weaklings. Since ancient times, in the history of the Dragon Race, there have been many false dragons who changed their fates and became Heavenly Dragons. First Senior Sister often teaches us that we cannot judge a person based on their bloodline. They are all comrades of our Dragon Race."

Jiang Cheng grew very sullen. He still did not feel convinced. However, Wu Xu had used Liu Ruyue's words to lecture him, which he could not rebut. He could only feel depressed in his heart.

However, in reality, Jiang Cheng overthought.

Wu Xu did not intend to lecture Jiang Cheng; he only wanted to use Liu Ruyue's words to counsel him.

He did not want Jiang Cheng to fixate on this, unable to free himself from this thought, which would turn into a mental block.

"Junior Brother Jiang, how are your injuries? Let me help you take a look," Wu Xu asked somewhat worriedly when he noticed that Jiang Cheng's expression still did not seem right.

"Hypocrite, there is no need for you to bother."

Jiang Cheng had lost to Xiao Chen and failed to accomplish his mission. Rage and grief intertwined in his heart. He showed a blank expression and stalked forward alone.

"Senior Brother, we failed to accomplish the mission this time… What will Senior Sister say?" the people at the side asked worriedly.

Liu Ruyue had always been strict, clearly distinguishing between reward and punishment. Given that they messed up this time, a punishment was almost inevitable.

Wu Xu sighed in his heart. In the end, Jiang Cheng was too young, and the Elders pampered him too much.

Although Jiang Cheng was talented, with such a character, he would have difficulty accomplishing great things.

Wu Xu smiled at the people beside him. "It's fine. I'll explain it to First Senior Sister. This time, I did not plan properly. I did not investigate his connections to the Cluster Lord beforehand. I was in the wrong. Let's go."

These people traveled on the road leading back, slowly disappearing into the horizon.

In the end, the Smiling Daughter Pavilion did not collapse.

The manager released his bated breath. Earlier, sweat poured down his forehead without stopping.

The Smiling Daughter Pavilion had been rather unfortunate recently. First, they lost the Fairy Basket. Then, there was a fight between Dragon Race experts.

If the building truly collapsed, then the Smiling Daughter Pavilion would have to suspend operation.

Inside the elegant room, Xiao Chen and Lan Luo sat at the table once again.

After the earlier storm passed, the tension between the two eased a little.

Lan Luo looked at Xiao Chen and said, "You were too rash earlier. Given this, it will be hard to resolve the conflict with the Dragon Race."

Xiao Chen shook his head. "It is not really rash. It's just my character, just like you. When you heard another person call me a mixed-blood dragon, you could not help getting angry. Likewise, when I heard another person humiliating you, I could not hold back, either.

"I do not care about many things. Others can scold me or humiliate me; I can look past that. However, I will not let them involve my friends."

Lan Luo felt warmth when she heard it. The gentle smile on her face betrayed her happiness without her realizing it.

Actually, when thinking about it, the two were rather similar. They both had stubborn characters and could not easily submit to another.

However, when their friends were humiliated, they could not hold back, and their anger would erupt, regardless of the consequences.

When Lan Luo thought this, she suddenly figured out a lot of things. She smiled and asked, "Do you need me to send you off? They might lay a trap for you outside the city."

Xiao Chen refused, "There's no need. I've already troubled you a lot. I have to leave after this cup of wine. I do not have the Dragon Race totem with me. As long as I go far away, they won't really cause a huge commotion."

The two toasted each other before Xiao Chen stood up to take his leave.

"Xiao Chen, in the future, no matter what trouble you are in, if you treat me as your friend, then please immediately tell me," Lan Luo requested sincerely as she looked at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen felt stunned for a while on hearing that. Then, he laughed heartily, "Alright, I promise you that. In the future, if I come to know that you are in trouble, no matter how far I am, I will rush over and do my best to help."

Xiao Chen formally accepted Lan Luo as his friend from the bottom of his heart. In the past, Lan Luo was just a benefactor, one that he felt helpless about.

The two exchanged looks and were much more delighted in their hearts.

The unresolvable misunderstanding from before completely disappeared with this toast.

Sometimes, matters of life could be very strange.

When in disagreement, half a sentence would already be too much. No matter how one explained, it would be useless. Instead, the conflict would escalate.

If thoughts aligned, a mere glance would be sufficient for the two to understand each other.

The previous disagreement was resolved amid wine.

As Lan Luo watched Xiao Chen leave, a melancholic but entrancing smile appeared on her face.

In the past, she had wondered why this person never gave her face. She could not stop thinking about him, unable to forget about him.

Now, Lan Luo finally understood. Actually, the reason was very simple. Xiao Chen was being himself.

In this foul and dirty world, Xiao Chen was only being himself. These were just a few simple words, but few could do it.

However, Xiao Chen managed.

He traveled the world in a neither-haughty-nor-humble manner. He would not look up to one just because one was the Cluster Lord, nor would he look down on one for coming from a humble background.

Xiao Chen had his own principles and logic. Everything he did might look rash and unruly, but that was simply him being himself.

No matter how black and white flipped around in this world, whether one was of nobility, whether one was restrained by all sorts of things, Xiao Chen would only be himself.
