Chapter 1535: Chapter 1538 Secret Fortune (Additional update for ’Li Xiaodong’!!)

”Mr. Jiang, I understand what you mean, but...”

Mi Jiaro spoke softly: ”Do we really have to be this ruthless?”

Li Sa and Da Lie’s final kowtowing and begging for mercy still somewhat affected Mi Jiaro.

Jiang Chen glanced at Mi Jiaro and asked a question in return: ”Do you wish for your enemies to die, or do you want His Holiness the Pope or Judgment Chief Fa Rang to die?”

”Of course it’s the enemies!” Mi Jiaro said without hesitation.

Jiang Chen said meaningfully, ”Then, if your enemies kneel on the ground begging you to spare them and promise never to show hostility towards you again, guaranteeing they won’t harm the people around you, what would you do?”

”This... it depends on whether they can guarantee that!” Mi Jiaro answered naively.

Ha’er and the others glanced at Mi Jiaro and smiled.

”Who can guarantee it? Can you guarantee it? Or can you guarantee it by their pitiful appearance when they begged?” Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow and continued questioning.

Mi Jiaro frowned, thought for a moment, and gently shook his head: ”Can’t guarantee it, best kill them!”

Jiang Chen said nothing, just stared straight at Mi Jiaro.

Mi Jiaro, recalling today’s events, suddenly realized: ”I understand now.”

”I understand too, but... it still feels a bit too ruthless!” Si Liya nodded slightly and hesitantly spoke in a low voice.

Jiang Chen looked at Si Liya and said calmly, ”When you wanted to kill me in the attic and put it into action, why didn’t you think whether killing me was too ruthless?”

”This...”

”What!?”

”Princess Si Liya, you...”

Ha’er and the others were shocked, looking at Si Liya with surprise, even Mi Jiaro widened his eyes, looking towards Si Liya with a hint of anger.

”I... I didn’t think that much at the time, I just thought you... you were so annoying, I just wanted to kill you!” Si Liya’s face flushed red, she whispered defensively.

”Killing without any enmity, that is ruthlessness, that is true cruelty!”

Jiang Chen said indifferently: ”I didn’t provoke you, just because you thought my attitude was problematic, not respectful enough to you. But did you ever consider why I should respect you? Just because you are the princess of Y Country? So what? What does it have to do with me if you are a princess?”

”I...” Si Liya didn’t know what to say.

”Just because I didn’t satisfy your vanity and sense of superiority, and with a little incitement from Si Mo’er, you wanted to kill me, isn’t that cruel? I destroyed those guys today because they wanted to kill me. Comparing the two, do you think it’s you who is ruthless or me? Are you cruel, or am I?” Jiang Chen kept pressing.

Si Liya’s face turned green and white, and finally, she deeply lowered her head!

”Si Liya, on Mr. Pu Losi’s account, I’ll remind you of something. When people respect you because you’re a princess, you are a princess. But when others don’t regard your princess identity, you are no different from a passer-by on the street,”

Jiang Chen sternly said, ”There are many people in this world who won’t care about your princess status. If you insist everyone who offends you must be killed, then your royal family will be the first to perish!”

Pu Losi looked at Jiang Chen, then at Si Liya, opened his mouth to say something, but did not speak out.

He knew that what Jiang Chen said was true, but all along, no one had said these things to Si Liya. However, as Jiang Chen said, Si Liya should grow up and understand these things!

Si Liya stared at her toes with a complicated gaze, lost in thought.

”Chief Judge Xi’er.” Seeing Si Liya’s current state, Jiang Chen didn’t bother her anymore, letting her think by herself, and turned to look at Xi’er.

Xi’er was momentarily stunned, looking questioningly at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen gave a complex look at Xi’er, Ha’er, and Fa’erxi, and solemnly said, ”Do you believe what His Holiness the Pope said in the attic?”

Xi’er and company were stunned simultaneously, followed by silence.

Pu Losi and others looked at Jiang Chen in confusion, their expressions filled with bewilderment.

What did His Holiness the Pope say? That even made loyal adjudicators and vice premiers of the Knights of the Round Table doubt?!

”I reserve my opinion!” Ha’er was the first to speak.

Fa’erxi gently nodded.

Jiang Chen looked at the two, staring straight at Xi’er.

Xi’er’s face showed intense struggle, then he heavily sighed: ”I believe!”

”You believe!?”

Jiang Chen looked at Xi’er in astonishment, Ha’er and Fa’erxi also widened their eyes, surprised at Xi’er.

Hum!

An aura spread, Pu Losi looked at Jiang Chen and the others, decisively chose to remain silent, and enveloped Si Liya with the aura, isolating the two from Jiang Chen and the others.

He suddenly felt it was better not to listen to the conversation between Jiang Chen and the others.

Jiang Chen glanced at Pu Losi but said nothing.

Xi’er looked at everyone, said painfully: ”What Lord Fa Rang experienced, I actually experienced too!”

”What!?”

”You too...”

Ha’er and others were shocked looking at Xi’er.

Xi’er gave Ha’er and Fa’erxi a meaningful glance, whispering, ”Ha’er, do you remember your teacher?”

”Of course!” Ha’er heavily nodded: ”It was the teacher who brought me into the Holy Court, but...”

”But he disappeared when you were thirty, disappearing for eighty years!” Xi’er softly followed up.

Ha’er’s expression was shocked, looking at Xi’er in amazement: ”How do you know?”

Jiang Chen’s eyes changed dramatically, looking at Xi’er incredulously: ”Chief Judge Xi’er, are you Ha’er’s teacher!?”

”What?!”

”This...”

Ha’er, Fa’erxi, Mi Jiaro and others widened their eyes, staring straight at Xi’er.

Xi’er smiled bitterly, heavily nodded: ”Yes, I am Ha’er’s teacher.”

”This... what’s going on!?”

Ha’er exclaimed, his eyes full of disbelief as he looked at Xi’er!

Phew!

Xi’er took a long breath, a glimmer of nostalgia in his eyes: ”Back then, Ha’er, you just joined the Knights of the Round Table. At that time, I was already the Deputy Judge. However, back then, I wasn’t called Xi’er, but Meng Chi!”

”Teacher Meng Chi!? You really are Teacher Meng Chi?!” Ha’er looked at Xi’er in shock, his body trembling lightly.

Xi’er’s eyes glittered, heavily nodded: ”Back then, my talent was among the top in the Holy Court, His Holiness had the intention to let me take over the chief judge position and gave me the Saint Sword. However, two years later, the year I disappeared, a wisp of Primordial Spirit from the Saint Sword descended onto me, trying to obliterate my soul...”

Through Xi’er’s narration, Jiang Chen and others learned of a secret fortune.
