I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping Chapter 2658 - 1654: Daring Beyond Bounds (2)
Previously on I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping...
Anyone who has read a book knows.
To acquire this unparalleled daughter-in-law, under the emperor’s instruction, one of the Four Beauties, Yang Guifei, took vows as a Daoist with the title Taizhen, thereby escaping the shackles of ethics and paving the way to the palace and eternal fame.
"Didn’t you only finish elementary school?"
Jiang Chen was surprised at the other’s reaction.
Even the most careful can overlook something.
In reality, she had attended middle school but hadn’t completed it.
Moreover,
Who says that finishing only elementary school means not knowing this well-known historical fact?
Besides, the other person is clearly an antique enthusiast, can someone with such interests lack scholarly foundation?
"So what are you?"
Liao Xiangdong, feeling "insulted," didn’t get angry, likely considering the remark was made unintentionally.
She asked, "Li Longji?"
Jiang Chen coughed slightly and said nothing more. Even with a thick skin, he couldn’t possibly compare himself to Emperor Xuanzong.
"Which leg?"
Liao Xiangdong suddenly changed the topic.
"What?"
"Li Longji was a cripple. Which leg do you want to keep?"
The world is just too crazy!
A person who hasn’t completed nine years of compulsory education started giving history lessons to a student from a prestigious university!
"..."
Jiang Chen remained composed, without fleeing, quickly stabilizing his footing and refuting with righteous indignation.
"There’s no existing historical record proving Li Longji was a cripple, where did you read this from?"
This is not a solitary battle.
He was defending the dignity of scholars!
Empty words can’t be trusted, after speaking, someone immediately took out their phone to search and verify online.
"See for yourself."
Sure enough, the information in the encyclopedia matched his claim.
Liao Xiangdong wasn’t embarrassed.
As a survivor of the nine-year compulsory education loophole, lacking information was normal, wasn’t it?
Her gaze shifted away from the phone screen that was practically pressed against her face, and Liao Xiangdong remained silent.
Jiang Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
See.
Reading more books has its benefits.
The leg was saved.
"If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now."
Jiang Chen slowly put down his phone, calmly said, ever since entering this private museum, it’s been a mind game every step of the way, although he was slightly ahead, this is not a place for prolonged stay.
Liao Xiangdong stood quietly.
"See you."
Boss Jiang, ever polite, didn’t forget the farewell, then turned around walking with calm steps, completely unhurried.
"Cao Jinse has already informed you, right?"
Jiang Chen’s heart skipped, though he’d been prepared, knowing it wouldn’t be easy to leave, the words coming from behind still caught him off guard.
"What?"
He halted, then turned around.
At seven to eight meters distance, the two faced each other.
Jiang Chen thought for a moment, tentatively asked, "Are you talking about the Dragon Hunter?"
"Handling what you’ve stirred up is your responsibility."
Yes.
Clearly Blood Guanyin wasn’t vindictive, it turns out they "invited" him for something serious.
"Won’t they just pin the blame entirely on me?"
Jiang Chen stayed composed, considering the two consecutive warnings indicated the severity of the situation.
"Reasonable people won’t. But in this world, reasonable people aren’t many."
A simple yet profound sentence, revealing plenty of information and also her standpoint.
Undoubtedly.
She definitely belongs to the "reasonable" side.
Jiang Chen’s eyes flickered.
It seems during his time drinking in Sha City, not just abroad, things were bustling domestically too.
Indeed.
Those wandering Little Dragon People met misfortune, Dragon People must be furious.
According to the law of energy conservation, the reason he wasn’t pressured by the Dragon People is likely due to another force resisting.
But stalemates aren’t the solution.
The problem needs to be resolved.
Yes.
Little Dragon People’s misfortune, for grassroots like Boss Jiang, is hard to empathize with, and much like he conveyed to Cao Jinse, somewhat gratifying, but regardless, like in the world of One Piece, you could disrespect the Sky Dragon People’s character, but cannot disregard their status and power.
Creating a new world isn’t a one-step process.
If you want to pull the Sky Dragon People off the pedestal, you must first become the Pirate King to have the right to redefine racial hierarchy.
"Cao Jinse and I have already discussed it, I’ll handle it, give me some time."
Jiang Chen calmly stated, putting aside the previous personal grudges, on this Dragon Hunter incident, both Cao Jinse and Liao Xiangdong had good intentions.
"Can you handle it?"
Blood Guanyin and Princess Cao are indeed different.
Jiang Chen’s face was resolute, entirely different from before, when discussing serious matters, Boss Jiang is always quite serious.
"I can."
Alright then.
Just now, he had actually been quite serious.
"How will you handle it?"
Faced with the other’s pursuit, Boss Jiang wasn’t impatient. People might be frivolous and playful, but they shouldn’t be ungrateful.
With someone else, unrelated matters, who would waste energy?
Time is life. Thus, everyone’s time is precious.
"It’s unrelated to you, so don’t worry about it, lest you get implicated."
Jiang Chen said warmly, not only expressing gratitude for the concern but also showing strong self-confidence.
"Any need to listen to my thoughts?"
Jiang Chen immediately raised his hand, without hesitation, "One person’s actions are his own responsibility, I lit the fire, can’t trouble you."
What’s a tough guy?
What’s responsibility?
It’s not muscles crafted from showcasing various extreme items in Moments.
"How? Don’t believe me?"
Jiang Chen laughed, seemingly realizing the goodwill simultaneously symbolized distrust in him.
Always seated on the Dragon Chair, the woman smiled gently.
"Ditto."
Jiang Chen disagreed, "I have complete trust in you. You think I don’t know who sent Liao Xiangdong? Who has the authority to control him?"
Wait.
Does he really know?
Liao Xiangdong’s smile became even more radiant.
"You know what I admire most about you?"
"What part?"
"No matter what, you can always brag effortlessly."
Jiang Chen laughed heartily.
"I also think that this is my greatest strength."
What’s the biggest attraction a man can possess?
Looks?
Wealth?
Social status?
Could it possibly be positivity, optimism, sunshine, upwardness, resilience... these infectious energies?
Especially.
When the former and latter become one, how should such a man be described?
Unbeatable!
In the end, Jiang Chen never revealed his solution, with a manner full of worldly wisdom he gave a cupped-hand salute to the woman on the Dragon Chair, then intended to leave.
"Really don’t want to take a seat?"
Liao Xiangdong finally stood up.
Looking at the Dragon Chair which has led countless people into rapture, Jiang Chen’s eyes were clear, he forsook the short-lived, easily obtainable opportunity to experience being an emperor.
"After all, it’s not mine."
So distant?
After speaking, his gaze fell onto the face even more alluring than the Dragon Chair.
"One day, when I become the owner of this chair, then I’ll sit on it."
To sit.
Hmm.
Must’ve been a typo.
Besides, this Dragon Chair evidently has an owner, it’s Liao Xiangdong, how could it change hands?
Completely nonsense.
However.
Not entirely impossible.
Women conquer the world by conquering men.
Such as the history discussed by the two just now.
From ancient times to present, those empresses respected across the world, isn’t it because they secured the emperor,
In turn.
Why can’t men emulate?
Given Liao Xiangdong’s affinity for antiques, expecting her to part willingly is unrealistic, but why insist on her parting?
Win her over, her entire collection including the Dragon Chair, wouldn’t it naturally become yours?
Even the dog head would return to its rightful owner.
Boss Jiang cupped his hands again in salute and then turned around, walking briskly towards the entrance to the corridor,
Liao Xiangdong watched him go.
"Really planning on finding the Imperial Jade Seal?"
Jiang Chen didn’t look back, only his voice was heard.
"Prepare the empress’s crown."
Before the words finished, he already switched from a brisk walk to a jog, then a hundred-meter sprint.
Tsk.
Still as flamboyant as ever.
Liao Xiangdong stood in front of the Dragon Chair, watching the guy dash away, and softly sighed.
"The audacity of lust."
