Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 131 - 123: It’s Not Your Turn to Point Fingers_3

One, Jiang Ruorong’s background has now become an open secret within the Great Qian Martial Institute.

Almost everyone knows that Jiang Ruorong’s background is not simple; otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible for her to have a Nascent Soul Realm expert as her personal protector.

There are rumors that Jiang Ruorong comes from a major clan outside of the Great Qian Dynasty, with some even suggesting that her family is the Jiang Family, the overlord-level clan of the entire Tian Nian Star.

These rumors are probably unfounded, or they wouldn’t be so widely spoken of.

Moreover, there is indeed a mysterious old man by Jiang Ruorong’s side. Back at the Autumn Water Villa, he merely showed his face, which was enough to make the current Prime Minister, Shangguan Yong, too scared to even let out a fart.

In addition, Jiang Ruorong’s rapid rise to power is indeed astonishing. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

At the end of last year’s grand tournament, the West Courtyard was defeated by the East Campus, which was an utterly deplorable sight, yet the strength demonstrated by Jiang Ruorong had already astonished everyone.

And recently, the power that Jiang Ruorong has inadvertently revealed seems to have improved significantly compared to last year.

Some elders speculate that Jiang Ruorong’s strength may now be almost on par with Gu Fengxian.

This is still them being reserved in their speech. If more daringly put, there are surely some elders who have already determined that Jiang Ruorong’s strength has surpassed Gu Fengxian.

Of course!

These are all rumors.

As for who is truly stronger between Jiang Ruorong and Gu Fengxian, only a fair fight could reveal the answer.

However, Jiang Ruorong is after all a female disciple, and it seemed as though Gu Fengxian once harbored affection for her, which she firmly rejected.

Moreover, Xie Jin’an also harbored affection for Jiang Ruorong. After Gu Fengxian gave up on pursuing her and began to show interest in Mu Yunlan, Xie Jin’an seemed not to show any sign of shifting his affection elsewhere.

Hence, from these aspects, Gu Fengxian does not feel comfortable accepting a one-on-one fight with Jiang Ruorong under these circumstances.

"Sister Ruorong, don’t misunderstand!" Xie Jin’an also said with a smile, "In fact, we have no other intentions. We know that Qin Qing is your junior brother, but we just see some things from a different perspective and we advise Junior Brother Qin Qing to choose a better way to handle things."

"A better way to handle things?" Jiang Ruorong was unimpressed, "That’s just what you think. Whatever my junior brother does and how he handles matters is his business and doesn’t concern you at all, nor is it your place to pass judgment!"

Jiang Ruorong’s domineering response made Qin Qing smile involuntarily.

Indeed, why should the likes of Gu Fengxian and Xie Jin’an dictate what he does or how he handles things?

Xie Jin’an was taken aback for a moment, then a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes as he looked at Qin Qing.

Was Jiang Ruorong really just protecting her junior brother?

Could it be that their relationship was just as simple as that of a senior sister and junior brother?

At this moment, a statement from Jiang Ruorong suddenly made Xie Jin’an and Gu Fengxian reveal a playful smile.

"By the way, my junior brother will also participate in the upcoming battles among all disciples of the Martial Institute. At that time, he will represent our West Courtyard in a direct confrontation with your East Campus. Instead of boasting here, you’d better prepare properly, lest you capsize in the gutter!"

"Oh?" Xie Jin’an raised an eyebrow, showing a trace of amusement, "That’s perfect, I’m quite interested to see what makes this little junior brother outstanding..."

Xie Jin’an’s words were laden with heavy sarcasm.
