Chapter 383: Chapter 383 Just a Jumping Clown Part 1

”Thank you for your concern, Family Head Xiao.”

Jiang Chen smiled and clasped his fists, ”But I am well aware of my own capabilities, so there’s no need for you to worry about me.”

Having said that, he turned and walked away.

Xiao Anjun frowned and a flash of dissatisfaction crossed his eyes, he snorted coldly, ”What an ignorant kid. Well, I will see just how capable you really are when the time comes.”

”Watch him?” Fan Wuzheng by his side scoffed in disdain, ”Ha, Family Head, I’m afraid he won’t even make it to the stage before he’s scared out of his wits.”

”Haha...”

Xiao Anjun laughed heartily and walked off with Fan Wuzheng towards a shop nearby.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen wasn’t affected by Xiao Anjun and his companion’s presence and continued to browse around. Suddenly, he looked surprised and muttered softly, ”What are they doing here?”

In front of Jiang Chen, Gong Yue, Li Bowen, and Xiao Yunna were casually strolling.

”Jiang Chen? What are you doing here?” Gong Yue saw Jiang Chen and asked in surprise.

Xiao Yunna’s eyes lit up, and she quickly walked over, ”Jiang Chen, are you here to participate in the ring competition too?”

”Yes!” Jiang Chen nodded, then turned to look at Gong Yue, ”Why are you here?”

Gong Yue glared at him, ”If you can be here, why can’t I? I came with Xiao Yunna just to see what’s going on. No problem with that, is there? But you, Mr. Jiang, are just a man of empty fame. In this martial arts competition, you’ll finally get to see what a real martial artist looks like, so you’ll stop thinking so highly of yourself! You have no self-awareness at all!”

”Exactly, it takes three rumors to make a tiger! If it weren’t for Gong Yue, I would’ve thought you were really that impressive. At best, you’re just a brute with slightly better fighting skills!” Li Bowen looked at Jiang Chen coldly and spoke mockingly.

Jiang Chen just smiled and shook his head, not arguing with them.

”Jiang Chen, the time for the ring competition is almost here. Let’s go together!” Xiao Yunna glanced at Gong Yue and Li Bowen, then invited in a soft voice.

Jiang Chen nodded, ”Okay.”

The group arrived at the entrance of the stadium, and Jiang Chen looked around, startled. Lin Bingrui and the others had already entered?

He took out his cell phone to call Lin Bingrui but suddenly realized that his phone had run out of battery, and he hadn’t memorized Lin Bingrui’s phone number, which left him in a bit of a quandary.

Over there, Xiao Yunna and the others met up with Xiao Anjun, ready to go inside. Seeing Jiang Chen still standing there, they asked, ”Are you coming in with us, Jiang Chen?”

Jiang Chen smiled wryly, ”I... I didn’t bring my invitation.”

”Didn’t bring it?” Xiao Anjun was slightly taken aback, then laughed, ”I’m afraid it’s not that you didn’t bring it, but rather you don’t have the qualifications to enter, right?”

Fan Wuzheng also laughed, his eyes filled with scorn, ”You didn’t even get the qualifications to enter, and you came here? Don’t tell me you’re so arrogant that you think just by showing up, others will have to welcome you in?”

”Huh, Mr. Jiang indeed, can’t even get into the competition ground, funny indeed!” Li Bowen added with mockery.

Gong Yue glanced at Jiang Yunfei and also spoke with a mocking face, ”Now do you see the difference between you and a real martial artist? Look at you, you don’t even have the qualifications to enter, yet you still think you are great? Please, get real!”

At that moment, Xiao Yunna’s face changed slightly, and she reached out to tug at Xiao Anjun: ”Dad, just take Jiang Chen inside!”

”Alright, for Na Na’s sake, you follow us,” Xiao Anjun nodded, gave Jiang Chen a disdainful glance, and turned to walk towards the stadium.

”Jiang Chen, let’s go,” Xiao Yunna called out to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen nodded and replied softly, ”Thank you.”

”You’re welcome, we’re all friends here,” Xiao Yunna said with a slight smile.

”Xiao Yunna, why are you helping him? He should just be left outside, so he doesn’t get all high and mighty every day!” Li Bowen said with a sour look on his face.

Xiao Yunna ignored Li Bowen, and Jiang Chen did the same; the two chatted casually as they entered the stadium.

Li Bowen clenched his teeth in secret, but he had no way to deal with Jiang Chen, who he couldn’t beat, and in terms of influence, his own wasn’t even comparable to Jiang Chen’s in Dingjing!

Fan Wuzheng, who was walking ahead, turned his head to glance at Jiang Chen chatting with Xiao Yunna and curved his lips into a sneer of disdain.

Xiao Anjun led Jiang Chen and others to the Xiao family’s seats, and Jiang Chen was slightly surprised. The position arranged for the Xiao family by the Martial Alliance was in the center and towards the front, which indirectly indicated the status of the Xiao family.

”See? With us, you can sit here. Without us, even if you got inside, you could only stand at the back!” Xiao Anjun pointed towards the back of the stadium, and Jiang Chen turned to look, where a group of people was crowding the back corridor.

”Hmph! Without us, he couldn’t even get in the door!” Li Bowen took the opportunity to sneer.

Jiang Chen ignored Li Bowen, stood up, and scanned the stadium, hoping to find Lin Bingrui and others. However, there were just too many people inside, making it impossible to get a full view in short order; Jiang Chen could only give up reluctantly.

”Jiang Chen, are you looking for someone?” Xiao Yunna asked, puzzled.

Jiang Chen replied in a soft voice, ”Actually, I came here with a friend. I was supposed to enter with him, but my phone is dead, and I haven’t been able to contact him. I wanted to find him, but there are too many people here, and I can’t just find my way through.”

”Hehe, Jiang Chen, you really don’t need to explain. To explain is to cover up. At times like this, face isn’t that important,” Xiao Anjun said, taunting after hearing the explanation.

Li Bowen chimed in opportunely, ”Exactly, your friend, how could your friend possibly qualify to get in here? Stop bragging. This Mr. Jiang, you’re nothing but someone who’s been hyped up.”

”Li Bowen, can you shut up for once? Do you have the credentials to come in here? Could you get in without us? At least Jiang Chen can claim the Mr. Jiang title, but what about you? What name can you claim? What gives you the right to criticize him?” Xiao Yunna turned to look at Li Bowen and rebuked him sharply.

Li Bowen’s face changed, and he fell silent, sullenly closing his mouth. If he hadn’t followed Xiao Yunna here shamelessly, he truly wouldn’t have had the credentials to enter the stadium. Resentfully glaring at Jiang Chen, Li Bowen turned his head away.

”Jiang Chen, don’t pay attention to him. He’s just envious of you because his fame doesn’t compare to yours!” Xiao Yunna turned to reassure Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen gave a slight smile: ”I’ve never taken him seriously; he’s just a jumping clown.”

Xiao Anjun glanced at Xiao Yunna and then at the indifferent face of Jiang Chen and suddenly furrowed his brows tightly, giving Jiang Chen a deep, meaningful look.

It seems Na Na has been bewitched by this Jiang Chen. No, after the competition is over, I must persuade Na Na to cut off all ties with Jiang Chen.

Humph, my daughter is definitely not someone Jiang Chen is worthy of!
