From a beggar on South Street to the supreme devil

Chapter 84 True and False Genius
In the inner courtyard.

As soon as Qin Chang said this, the atmosphere suddenly became dead silent.

Chu Dong was so frightened by this angry shout that his face turned pale.

The astonishing power emanating from an iron-boned warrior, even if it was not directed at her at the moment, was enough to make her almost breathless.

Jiang Chen slowly narrowed his eyes.

Did the City Guards find solid evidence that he killed Bu Hao?
No, if that were the case, then these people should have just taken action directly instead of questioning like this.

At this time.

Chen Hua, who was standing behind him, looked cold and scolded, "Why are you slandering others without any evidence?"

"Captain Qin, is this how Deputy Chief Zhong taught you to do things?"

Qin Chang's momentum suddenly stagnated.

Behind Qin Chang,

An inner disciple of the Liuguang sect had a cold aura, his hands wrapped around a long sword, and he looked at everyone present indifferently without saying a word.

Chen Hua turned to look at Jiang Chen with a gentle expression: "Don't be afraid, it's just that this Captain Qin Chang insists that there is something wrong with you and wants to ask you a few questions. Just answer his questions."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Okay."

"Captain Qin, just ask whatever you want to ask." Chen Hua gave Qin Chang a cold look.

Qin Chang looked gloomy.

Ever since Liuguang Sect noticed Bu Hao's disappearance, they began to investigate his whereabouts.

After all, he was an inner sect genius of the Iron Bone level. He might have a chance to break through the Dragon Elephant Sect's Dou Kui in the future. He just disappeared like that, so naturally the Liuguang Sect would not let it go.

Qin Chang, the last person who had contact with Bu Hao before he disappeared, was interrogated.

Of course Qin Chang didn't dare to tell the truth, so he could only put the blame on Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen has a grudge against Bu Hao, so he is the best person to take the blame.

It is definitely impossible for a Willow Tendon warrior to kill Bu Hao who is at the Iron Bone level.

The gap between two realms is like a chasm.

But no matter whether it is true or not, Qin Chang has to find a scapegoat and put the blame on others.

Therefore, he came with Zhang Mo, a disciple arranged by Liuguang Sect to investigate, intending to interrogate Jiang Chen.

But unexpectedly, as soon as he entered Shuiqingfang, he met Chen Hua from the Longhu Sect, who insisted on following him.

This bastard is here just to cause trouble!
Qin Chang's face turned pale, and he suppressed his anger and asked Jiang Chen: "Where were you three nights ago?"

"at home."

"Can anyone prove it?"

Jiang Chen glanced at Chu Dong.

Chu Dong quickly said: "I can prove that the young master is indeed sleeping at home."

"How can your maid prove it? I think you are just..."

Chen Hua interrupted him directly: "Why can't the maid prove it? It's the middle of the night and she's not at home sleeping. Do you think she has to go out to find you, Qin Chang, to prove her innocence?!"

"..."

Qin Chang was suddenly filled with anger.

He had brought his men to Shuiqingfang early in the morning just to use his power to overwhelm them and see if he could force out Jiang Chen's flaws, or even just take him back to the North City Guard Division for interrogation.

But now that Chen Hua is here, there’s no point in asking this!
Qin Chang's face darkened. He turned to look at the iron-boned inner disciple of the Liuguang Sect behind him and asked for help:
"Junior Brother Zhang..."

However, the inner disciple named Zhang Mo had an indifferent look on his face and had no intention of standing up for Qin Chang.

The inner and outer sects are people from two different worlds.

Even though Qin Chang is twenty years older than Zhang Mo, and they are both at the Iron Bone Realm, their identities and status are vastly different.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Mo doesn't think highly of Qin Chang at all.

Besides, Qin Chang is now the biggest suspect in the murder of Bu Hao.

The Dragon and Tiger Sect disciple named Jiang Chen in the yard is just a martial artist who has achieved the level of Willow Tendon.

Can he kill Bu Hao?
Haha, are you really treating my Liuguang Sect's inner disciples as cooking buckets? !
Therefore, in Zhang Mo's opinion, Qin Chang was the murderer of Bu Hao, and now he was just making random accusations and putting the blame on others.

Seeing that Zhang Mo ignored him, Qin Chang gritted his teeth and reluctantly asked a few more questions.

But naturally there was no result at all.

It was not until Zhang Mo became a little impatient that he left reluctantly.

……

Jiang Chen silently glanced at Qin Chang's departing back.

Then he turned his head, looked at Chen Hua, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Uncle Chen for your help today."

Chen Hua smiled and said, "It's okay. Lord Fu got the news and asked us to come over to take a look and prevent these guys from causing trouble."

It is said that Jiang Chen has shown extraordinary talent in the Dragon and Tiger Sect in the inner city, and this matter has already reached Fu Wen's ears.

Therefore, at this moment, Fu Wen paid more and more attention to Jiang Chen. When he learned that Qin Chang might do something bad to Jiang Chen, he immediately asked him to come over.

Chen Hua took a quick look at Jiang Chen.

In fact, Fu Wen asked him to come this time not only to stop Qin Chang, but also to see whether it was really Jiang Chen who killed Bu Hao.

Now after this observation, the result is -

can not tell.

The expression on Jiang Chen's face did not change at all from beginning to end!
But this also shows from another perspective that Jiang Chen is not afraid of Qin Chang at all...

Chen Hua retracted his thoughts: "Since everything is fine now, I will leave first. You don't need to worry too much. Just practice with peace of mind and enter the inner gate as soon as possible."

"Okay, I understand." Jiang Chen nodded.

Then Chen Hua left.

Jiang Chen stood in the courtyard and glanced at the panel.

[Iron Bones: Getting Started (245/1000)]

It’s almost there. There are only about twenty days left before I can break through to the [Iron Bones] level.

Once you step into [Iron Bones], you will enter the inner door.

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old iron-boned warrior is a true genius even among the inner sect. He is a good candidate to participate in the "Dragon Elephant Sect Fighting Championship" and will definitely be valued by the Dragon and Tiger Sect.

By then, even if he killed Qin Chang in the street, the Dragon and Tiger Sect would defend Jiang Chen to the death and find all kinds of reasons to exonerate him.

This is not because Jiang Chen is complacent, but there is a precedent.

The inner gate and the outer gate are two different worlds.

Because the geniuses who emerge from the outer sect can be "faked" by stacking a large amount of resources, it is difficult for others to judge their true talent.

If the Dragon and Tiger Faction invested in advance, it would likely lose all its money - many such incidents have occurred before.

At that time, many disciples of the three sects of Yanyang enriched themselves by "faking" outer sect geniuses to defraud investments from their sects and collect profits from it, and it was even about to form an "industrial chain".

Later, the top leaders of the three factions discovered this and joined forces to wipe out this group of forces. That was the end of it.

However, for this kind of "fake" genius, when they reach Liu Jin's level, even with the accumulation of resources, their cultivation speed will gradually stagnate.

This is also the reason why the standards for inner gates are set so high nowadays, and they must be of "iron bones".

The purpose is to screen out true geniuses.

Therefore, if Jiang Chen could reach the Iron Bone level at such a young age, he would naturally clear himself of the suspicion of "faking" and would be a well-deserved genius, which would also attract the attention and investment of the Dragon and Tiger Sect.

By then, even if he killed Qin Chang, as long as there was no definite evidence, even if the Liuguang Sect was suspicious, they would not be able to do anything to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen closed the panel, turned around and walked back to the bedroom.

"Close the door."

"Yes."

Chu Dong slowly breathed a sigh of relief, walked quickly forward and closed the gate.
