Chapter 405: Chapter 347 Opportunity! (Ask for Monthly Ticket at Month End) Chapter 405: Chapter 347 Opportunity! (Ask for Monthly Ticket at Month End) Chen Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, his black robe fluttering in the wind. After his verse was recited, a complete silence fell within hundreds of meters. Yue Shan raised an eyebrow, not expecting that his lord would truly compose poetry.
But this poem…
Why does it sound somewhat improper?
Why would a lotus be able to block the head of a blackfish?
And why would clear river water flow outwards?
In that moment, several were puzzled, shocked by Chen Yuan’s impromptu verse.
Zhao Hao on the deck, sitting in the chief seat, was briefly stunned and soon felt a surge of anger. This verse seemed nicely chanted at first, but upon closer inspection,
it was evident that the words were nothing but impromptu filth.
Moreover, he hadn’t invited this person, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, seemingly… with bad intentions!
The Oirans aboard, their faces flushed with embarrassment, caught the implication behind his words, especially an Oiran whose name included “lotus,” who clenched her legs together, her face awash with shame.
Bai Changqing’s face was solemn as he gazed at the figure suspended in the air; tall and straight, with a long blade at his waist, his appearance was not inferior to his own, it could only be said that each had their own merits.
He was the embodiment of a quietly elegant nobleman, while the other had the robust demeanor of a martial arts master.
Most importantly, that fleeting sensation of being watched must have come from this man.
Shangguan Yu, on the other hand, viewed Chen Yuan differently, feeling as though he had seen him somewhere before. His aura was no less powerful than his, marking him as a formidable opponent.
Zhao Hao took a deep breath, restraining the displeasure in his heart, and squeezed out a warm smile, standing up and bowing with clasped hands:
“Brother, upon careful listening, your poem does indeed have a certain charm.”
Chen Yuan chuckled. Charm? It was all just to make a rhyme. What charm could it have?
The flavor of seafood was more like it.
“May I have the honor of knowing your esteemed name, brother?” Zhao Hao was the epitome of courtesy and kindness, which wasn’t without reason that he was called the Gentleman Swordsman.
Just this demeanor alone made it hard to find fault with him.
“My surname is Chen, with a single given name: Yuan,” Chen Yuan reported his name with an indifferent demeanor.
This statement, however, was like a huge stone thrown into a still lake, stirring up a storm of shock, as everyone’s gaze converged on Chen Yuan in an instant.
He was indeed Chen Yuan, the Demon Blade of Jianghu with a notorious reputation!
Suddenly, several people couldn’t help but lower their gaze, not daring to look directly at Chen Yuan, as if fearing his remembrance of their faces—they were none other than those who had previously sided with Zhao Hao, urging Shangguan Yu to challenge Chen Yuan.
Bai Changqing’s eyes sharpened. He had certainly heard of Chen Yuan’s name. In fact, during the past half a month in Qingzhou and Shuzhou, many had heard this name.
Defeating nine alone, sweeping through Tangshan with a trail of rolling heads and rivers of blood, he had cleaned up the once notorious chaos of Tangshan. It was said that Tangshan now,
no longer held its former scene of bustle.
The spirits of the Jianghu martial artists from Tangshan were directly crushed by his blade.
His reputation could not be greater.
Fighting spirit flared within Shangguan Yu. Speaking of Chen Yuan, those like Zhao Hao had hinted that he should engage Chen Yuan. Although he rejected them outwardly,
he was actually eager to spar with such a strong opponent.
He had simply seen through their intentions and chose not to express his willingness.
If there truly was an opportunity, how could he miss a fight with such a rising star as Chen Yuan?
Moreover, Chen Yuan’s entrance into the top ten of the Hidden Dragon List, ranking just ahead of him, left him somewhat discontented.
But now, he didn’t issue a challenge but instead turned his attention to Zhao Hao, his expression quite playful. From the conversation so far, it was clear there was some animosity between Zhao Hao and Chen Yuan. Now that Chen Yuan had arrived, how would Zhao Hao react?
Shangguan Yu wasn’t too fond of Zhao Hao, perceiving him as someone who appeared generous and sociable but was, in reality, driven by self-interest, quite different from his public persona.
“So it’s Chen Qing, the Demon Blade that shook Tangshan,” Zhao Hao’s expression stiffened for a moment but quickly shifted into courteousness, as if Chen Yuan’s arrival was a welcome event.
“It’s truly an honor for Zhao to have Qing here.”
He bowed with clasped hands, laughing heartily.
“Indeed, it’s your good fortune,” Chen Yuan’s face carried a faint smile.
Finally, qi fortune had arrived!
The opportunity, too, must be close at hand.
“I invite you, Chen Qing, to join me aboard for a talk. I have long admired your reputation, and seeing you in person today, you truly are impressive and extraordinary…” Zhao Hao suppressed the resentment in his heart and said with a cheerful laugh.
“What a shame,” Chen Yuan interjected.
“A shame for what?” Zhao Hao asked, perplexed.
“What do you think?”
Zhao Hao felt a sudden sense of foreboding and his eyes flickered. Yet he showed no animosity—not because he didn’t want to but because Chen Yuan was undoubtedly stronger than him.
Making an enemy rashly was not in his interest.
To Shangguan Yu watching from the side, this façade elicited a cold, mocking laugh, finding it to be somewhat hypocritical.
“May I ask what brings Chen Qing here?” Zhao Hao’s expression turned grave as he asked in a low voice.
Chen Yuan didn’t bother with small talk and instead declared loudly:
“Guangling Prefecture’s Zhao Hao conspired with the Vegetable Knife Gang, committing numerous atrocities over the years. Now that the Vegetable Knife Gang has been eradicated, today is the day for settling accounts with you.”
He didn’t bring up Jiang He, instead concocting an excuse on the spot.
Implicating Jiang He so quickly wouldn’t be appropriate but of course, if confronted by an adversary too powerful to defeat, that would be a different matter altogether.
