Chapter 105 – The friends and family group has arrived, slapping the Kunlun Sacred Ground
Regarding Chen Changsheng's actions, Jiang Ping was instantly flustered.
"Damn it, you're just lying through your teeth. Wan Tong provoked you, so why are you blaming it on me?"
Watching Chen Changsheng "crying," Song Yuanshan couldn't help but let a slight smile play at the corner of his mouth.
His so-called junior brother, but in reality his senior brother, Changsheng, still loved to tease people.
Through the long years, he had changed, but Chen Changsheng remained the same.
At the same time, Holy Lord Jiang Bufan of the Kunlun Sacred Ground was also observing Chen Changsheng.
So similar!
Too similar!
Although the person before him was much younger and had a completely different aura, his appearance was as if they were cast from the same mold.
At this moment, the Unbeaten Daoist, Song Yuanshan, spoke up.
"Holy Lord Jiang, no matter how vast the Kunlun Sacred Ground's resources are, you shouldn't look down on people."
Facing Song Yuanshan's questioning, Jiang Bufan squinted his eyes and said, "Friend, you've misunderstood. Our Kunlun Sacred Ground would never slight any of the heroes. There might be some misunderstanding here."
"But I see you care quite a bit about this young friend. May I ask what your relationship with him is?"
Jiang Bufan's question left Song Yuanshan momentarily speechless.
Chen Changsheng's original identity couldn't be revealed, but he couldn't just assign him a disciple's status either!
If he did that, given Changsheng's personality, he'd definitely come looking for trouble.
While Song Yuanshan was pondering, Chen Changsheng took the initiative to speak.
"I'm his little martial uncle. Is there a problem?"
Everyone: !!!
Is your seniority really that high?
Regarding Chen Changsheng's explanation, Jiang Bufan laughed and said, "I am on equal terms with the Unbeaten Daoist."
"By that logic, wouldn't I also be your junior?"
"In theory, yes. Don't be fooled by my young age; my seniority is quite high."
Saying this, Chen Changsheng pointed at Zuo Xinghe.
"In terms of seniority, I'm his uncle. He should respectfully call me Second Uncle."
Hearing Chen Changsheng's opportunistic behavior, Zuo Xinghe chuckled inwardly but didn't mind too much.
Back then, he had invited Chen Changsheng out of seclusion and respectfully called him "Sir," so technically, he was indeed of uncle status.
"Besides him, I'm also her..."
Chen Changsheng paused when his finger pointed at Wanyan Yue.
Because Wanyan Yue was looking at him with an unfriendly gaze.
Clearly, if he raised his seniority too high, she might lose her temper.
"Cousin!"
After hesitating for half a second, Chen Changsheng chose a not-too-high seniority.
Hearing this identity, Wanyan Yue's gaze softened slightly.
Now that the identities were settled, the three former acquaintances naturally began to make things difficult.
Although they knew that with Chen Changsheng's skills and abilities, few in the world could wrong him, they still unhesitatingly sought trouble with the Kunlun Sacred Ground.
Because to them, Chen Changsheng was a friend, a senior, and family.
No one wants to see their family wronged, not even superficially.
"Holy Lord Jiang, my cousin came to participate in the Hero's Gathering, but your Kunlun Sacred Ground looked down on him."
"I want to ask, do you look down on him or my Nightmoon Kingdom?"
Wanyan Yue coldly questioned Jiang Bufan, her powerful aura faintly revealing itself.
Meanwhile, Zuo Xinghe walked up to Chen Changsheng with a smile.
"Second Uncle, Kunlun Sacred Ground is a top-tier power in the Central Court. How did they bully you?"
"Could there be some misunderstanding?"
Facing Zuo Xinghe's words, Chen Changsheng started to "cry" again.
Rubbing his slightly dry eyes, Chen Changsheng said aggrievedly, "Nephew, it's really unfair."
"I just ate two of their fruits, and they started making a fuss. Isn't that bullying?"
"Hahaha!"
Hearing this, Zuo Xinghe chuckled and said, "Second Uncle, that's not right."
"You came as a guest; how can you eat their things so casually?"
"Naturally, you should pay for what you eat!"
"By the way, Holy Lord Jiang, how many fruits did my Second Uncle eat from your Kunlun Sacred Ground? My Xuanwu Nation will pay ten times the price as compensation."
"What do you think, Holy Lord Jiang?"
After Zuo Xinghe's sarcastic remark, everyone from Kunlun Sacred Ground felt their faces burning.
Because this was a blatant slap in the face, and they couldn't even find a reason to get angry.
The Hero's Gathering was such a grand event, with heroes from most of the Five Continents attending.
Yet, guests came, and they were asked to pay for a few fruits. How would that look if word got out?
Faced with such a blatant slap in the face, Jiang Bufan's face turned as dark as a pot.
"Holy Son, what's going on?"
"Reporting to the Holy Lord, this matter started because of Wild Dragon Fortress..."
Seeing the Holy Lord's anger, Jiang Ping quickly explained the situation.
After hearing the whole story, Wanyan Yue and the others didn't even bat an eyelid.
With Chen Changsheng's abilities, he could wipe out Wild Dragon Fortress with a breath if he wanted to.
The three of them didn't even consider holding anyone accountable, knowing Kunlun Sacred Ground would handle it.
"Hahaha!"
"A misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"
"The fruits and snacks at this gathering are meant to entertain all the young friends. You can eat as much as you like."
"Really?" Chen Changsheng asked suspiciously, "Can I really eat as much as I want?"
"My appetite is quite large; you won't regret it, will you?"
Hearing this, Jiang Bufan smiled and said, "Of course, since you like the fruits and snacks of our Kunlun Sacred Ground so much, feel free to take more home."
"After the gathering, I'll have someone pack up a hundred or eighty pounds for you."
"But I must say, young friend, your face looks very familiar, much like an old acquaintance of mine!"
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng smiled and touched his face, saying, "That's normal. Many people say I have a common face. It's not surprising the Holy Lord finds it familiar."
"So that's it. I must be missing my old acquaintance too much."
"Now that the misunderstanding is cleared, everyone, please take your seats. The gathering is about to begin."
With that, everyone gradually returned to their seats.
The table from which Chen Changsheng had taken all the fruits was replenished.
And Chen Changsheng's "spoils" were neatly packed and delivered to him.
As for Wan Tong from Wild Dragon Fortress, Jiang Bufan never mentioned him from start to finish.
However, his seat was removed by the people of Kunlun Sacred Ground.
Clearly, Kunlun Sacred Ground wanted to tell him that there was no place for him here.
Being shunned by a Sacred Ground meant Wild Dragon Fortress had lost its footing in the Central Court.
Looking at the pale-faced Wan Tong slumped on the ground, Gongsun Huaiyu scoffed.
"The young master has the grace to ignore you, but I, Gongsun Huaiyu, am not so magnanimous."
"After the Hero's Gathering, the Seventy-Two Wolf Smokes will march on Wild Dragon Fortress!"
With these words, Wan Tong immediately fainted.
Without the protection of a Sacred Ground, Wild Dragon Fortress was no match for the Seventy-Two Wolf Smokes!
This wasn't his original intention!
Everyone heard Gongsun Huaiyu's threat, but they all ignored it.
Clearly, all the major powers had abandoned Wild Dragon Fortress.
The fate of thousands was decided in a conversation.
Yet, just when everyone thought the matter was settled, a bald monk appeared at the door.
"Amitabha, this monk humbly asks the lady benefactor to show mercy!"
