Chapter 427: I Can’t Stop Laughing

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Entering the Bright Moon Sect, Jiang Hao felt somewhat strange.

Were the people of the Bright Moon Sect really this powerful?

Even the gatekeeper was so strong that he felt like even the leaders of ordinary sects might not be able to match them.

If the Bright Moon Sect was like this throughout, then the Clear Sky School must be similar. It was no wonder Shang An’s master wasn’t even allowed through the gates.

By now, it was already getting brighter outside.

Jiang Hao looked around the Bright Moon Sect. It was surrounded by a road of magical patterns, and immortal cranes circled in the sky.

The spiritual energy here far surpassed that of the Heavenly Note Sect.

Before, he thought that the Heavenly Note Sect was pretty good, but compared to this place, it seemed somewhat poor.

The foundation of the Bright Moon Sect was simply incomparable to sects like the Heavenly Note Sect.

In their sect, disciples in the Soul Ascension Realm were rare. But here, even Return to Void Realm cultivators were quite common.

“This place is indeed extraordinary.” Hong Yuye glanced at Jiang Hao. “Where did you get that jade pendant?”

“It was given to me by a senior. The one who got drunk on the Star River? He gave it to me,” Jiang Hao said.

“Why don’t you stay here, then?” Hong Yuye asked.

Jiang Hao shook his head.

The real reason he was being valued wasn’t because of the poem he recited. It was because Hong Yuye was by his side.

To make them look at him with higher regard, she must be on equal footing with them.

If he wanted to stay in the Bright Moon Sect with the jade pendant, Hong Yuye would have to stay, too.

If that happened, it didn’t make much difference where they went.

Furthermore, offending the Heavenly Note Sect would lead to trouble. Even if they crossed the boundaries of the East and West, they would come after them.

It wasn’t worth it.

After walking for some time, they heard some disciples reading aloud.

Jiang Hao looked over and saw that there were scholars far away engaged in morning reading.

They exuded a strong aura of righteousness.

“I can’t stand these scholars. They disturb our rest every day. Can’t they do their morning reading somewhere further away?” said a woman.

Jiang Hao was curious and approached them.

Hong Yuye followed. She seemed curious about the scholars too.

But the closer they got, the more they felt unwelcome.

“Here they come again… Louder every day as if they’re afraid the others won’t know they’re reading in the morning.” A young man sighed. “Every day at this time, I have to get up and listen to them reading. It was interesting at first, but now it’s just noisy.”

“I’ve already reported it to the Bright Moon Sect’s people, but it seems they haven’t responded,” said a woman helplessly.

“Why not use some sound-proof formations?” Jiang Hao asked.

“No way, their righteous aura is too strong. Ordinary formations are useless. Besides, it doesn’t really have that much impact. No one wants to put in the effort to set up such a formation, ” said a young man.

“That’s true.” Jiang Hao nodded.

There really wasn’t much that could be done.

“Then, why not find another place?” he asked.

“Who should find another place? Them or us?” asked a woman at the Primordial Spirit Realm.

“If they won’t move, why should we? They can read, and we can complain. Let’s see who can stand it longer,” said someone furiously.

“Is that so? It seems you have quite a grudge against the scholars of the Astronomical Academy. The aura of righteousness can cleanse the evil energy of the world. If you listen attentively, there are benefits to it,” said a middle-aged man as he walked over to them.

He was a senior at the Astronomical Academy and had come over to see if he could persuade these people to let the scholar be.

“That’s true, but after the first cleansing, what’s the point of further cleansing? Isn’t that just asking for trouble?” asked someone.

“Just listen attentively and understand the wisdom of the sages. Gain insight into the hearts of the sages,” said the middle-aged man.

“These are scholars from the Academy of Celestial Arts, not just the

Astronomical Academy. The world has more than just one Astronomical

Academy. Everyone has their own path and ideals. If the Astronomical Academy is considered correct just because it’s powerful, then where does the Clear Sky School stand?” a man asked.

Chang Zizai froze. He then smiled.

Jiang Hao was just listening on the sidelines and didn’t participate in the debate.

There was really no right or wrong in such matters. After all, no one could prove it.

Some people read in the morning, while others just made noise. It was common behavior. After all, in the world of the Four Great Sects, how could just one sect be dominant?

“Do you also find the morning reading too noisy?” Chang Zizai asked Jiang Hao.

“Not really.” Jiang Hao shook his head and looked at the scholars from the Astronomical Academy.

The sound of disciples reading reminded him of something.

Upon hearing this, Chang Zizai was delighted that someone had not come to speak ill of them.

However, the people beside him were not convinced. “Why? Because you’re also from the Astronomical Academy? Are you also one of them?”

Jiang Hao pointed to the brightening sky. “Three watches see the lamp’s light glow. Five times the rooster’s crow. This is when a true man studies.”

Chang Zizai suddenly froze. He repeated Jiang Hao’s words. “Three watches see the lamp’s light glow. Five times the rooster’s crow. This is when a true man studies… Wonderful!”

He wanted to ask Jiang Hao about the continuation of this poem. But when he looked up, he was gone. ‘Where is he? Where did he go?’ In his shock, he had lost the opportunity to befriend the person.

“Did you see where that person went?” Chang Zizai asked the people around him.

They also seemed surprised by the poem. None of them had seen where Jiang Hao had gone.

Chang Zizai left in frustration. He needed to go and find the person.

Meanwhile, Wan Xiu and his companion happened to arrive there while wandering around.

They had also heard that someone was cursing the scholars from the Astronomical Academy, so they came to join in on the commotion.

“I’ll curse them later, and you throw a few spirit stones to cheer for me. Others will surely follow suit and pay you in spirit stones. Then, I’ll buy you a drink, ” Wan Xiu said.

“You have no shame.” His companion gave him a disdainful look. “Unless you’re buying Flower Wine tonight.”

“Of course.” Wan Xiu laughed.

The two heard the sound of reading and quickly approached the crowd and found that these people didn’t seem to be complaining anymore.

Something was not right.

Wan Xiu approached someone and asked, “Aren’t you angry?”

“No… I’m not angry anymore,” the person said.

“Why?”

“Three watches see the lamp’s light glow. Five times the rooster’s crow. This is when a true man studies.”

After saying that, he took out a book.

Wan Xiu was astonished. “Did you write that poem?”

“No, it’s not mine. It’s from someone… I don’t know where they went,” said the young man.

Wan Xiu asked about the person who had recited the poem.

The answer he got was that the person was nothing special. It was just an ordinary person along with a woman. He was at the late stage and the woman was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Wan Xiu was stunned.

Meanwhile, his companion burst into laughter. “You’ve been fooled again. He said he didn’t remember, and now he suddenly comes up with another line.

He’s just messing with you. Hahaha! I can’t stop laughing.”

His companion was laughing so hard that he was holding his stomach.

Wan Xiu looked around. He saw a large lake and kicked his companion into it.

With a loud splash, the drunk man fell in and called for help..
