The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Chapter 469 Commemorating this first touch

"Kneel down and apologize to me right now. If I'm in a good mood, I might consider letting you leave safely." Chen Jun thought Jiang Chuan had frightened the Qingyun Sect he mentioned, so he put him down from the air.

Jiang Chuan ignored him and walked straight to the restaurant counter. He smiled at the waitress and said, "Little sister, please call your boss for me and tell him that someone is trying to cause trouble."

The waitress was a summer worker, and she didn't want to offend Jiang Chuan with her meager salary. Besides, she was stunned by what Jiang Chuan had just done. He lifted Chen Jun, who weighed 400 pounds, off the ground with his bare hands, something that would be impossible for an ordinary person.

"Don't be impulsive. I'm just an employee. I'll call the boss right now," the waitress said, looking at Jiang Chuan with a fearful expression.

Jiang Chuan smiled with satisfaction, patted the waitress's shoulder gently, and said, "Don't worry, little sister, I just want your boss to come out for a moment. It won't affect you in any way."

The waitress shakily took out her phone and dialed the boss's number.

"Why are you making a call at this hour?" A man's voice came from the other end of the line, accompanied by the faint sound of a woman having diarrhea.

"Boss, someone's causing trouble." The waitress's simple words startled the person on the other end of the phone, who sat up and asked, "How many of them?"

Upon hearing this, the waitress looked at Jiang Chuan's face, then at Li Chunfeng and Li Yi, and said, "Three people."

"What?" Tang Ci, the shop owner, exclaimed in bewilderment, then continued, "Three people dare to cause trouble?"

"Hold on, I'm coming right away."

Tang Ci sounded flustered on the other end of the phone, but still tried his best to remain calm. What was his identity? Was he someone anyone could easily manipulate in Qing City?
After hanging up the phone, the waitress exchanged a glance with Jiang Chuan, her eyes serious.

Things like causing trouble.

This wasn't the first time she'd encountered this.

But someone has always handled this matter in the past.

This time, however, I don't know why.

No one tried to stop Jiang Chuan.

Unbeknownst to the waitress, all those who came to stop him had already received their boxed meals.

Soon after, Tang Ci arrived at the shop.

Upon seeing Jiang Chuan, he immediately walked over and asked in a low voice, "Who are you? Why are you vandalizing my shop?"

Jiang Chuan smiled slightly and said, "I just want to see if your shop can withstand being smashed."

Upon hearing this, Tang Ci's face darkened. A commotion arose outside, and Jiang Chuan turned to look, only to see a group of people walking towards the shop.

"Don't even think about leaving here alive until you make things clear today." Tang Ci pointed his finger at Jiang Chuan's nose. He didn't know Jiang Chuan, but he knew Li Chunfeng. He walked up to the latter and said, "Li Chunfeng, if your Divination Master Alliance wants to cause trouble, why didn't you bring more people? Were you wiped out after the Qingyun Sect incident?"

Li Chunfeng's face was gloomy. He did not answer Tang Ci's question, but turned to look at Jiang Chuan, seemingly waiting for his decision.

Jiang Chuan's eyes turned cold. Today's matter was not so simple. He turned to look at Tang Ci and said calmly, "What's the deal with the Diviner Alliance and the 'No Dogs Allowed' sign?"

"What's wrong?"

"Does my hanging up a sign affect you?" Tang Ci smiled contemptuously. He had a lot of people here, and their spit could drown the river. Of course, he spoke arrogantly.

Jiang Chuan frowned, trying to keep his voice calm, and said, "As a member of the Diviner Alliance, you should give an explanation."

Tang Ci's eyes widened, seemingly surprised that Jiang Chuan would dare to mention the word "explanation" in front of him. He sneered and said, "A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. Who do you think you are? Daring to talk about explanations with me?"

"Brothers, let's get started." Tang Ci took a few steps back and said, just in case Jiang Chuan's blood splattered all over him.

These underlings, some at the early Earth Rank and some at the late Profound Rank, were all eager to fight and headed towards Jiangchuan.

"Li Chunfeng, just take good care of Li Yi for me," Jiang Chuan instructed.

Upon hearing this, Li Chunfeng shielded Li Yi behind him. Among these underlings, as long as they didn't target Li Chunfeng, protecting her was a piece of cake. However, it would be a bit difficult for him to be distracted and help Jiang Chuan out of trouble.

However, seeing Jiang Chuan's imposing presence, he didn't seem too worried; instead, he seemed to be looking forward to it.

"How dare you talk to our boss like that? You're asking for trouble." The scarred-face henchman walked up to Jiang Chuan, ready to teach him a lesson, but Jiang Chuan flicked him away with a flick of his finger.

The other henchmen, who were about to make a move, cursed, "Holy crap! What's going on? Where are they?"

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Chuan's eyes.

He didn't want to get entangled with these people.

I just want to find a solution to the problem.

His expression was grave, and then he said loudly, "I'm not here to cause trouble, I just don't understand why the sign of the Divination Masters Alliance is here?"

Tang Ci's expression turned mocking. He hadn't expected Jiang Chuan to ask the question so directly. He sneered and said, "That's my business, none of your concern."

Jiang Chuan shook his head and said, "The affairs of the alliance are everyone's affairs. If we can't even protect our own reputation, how can I, as a member of the Diviner Alliance, still have any face?"

Tang Ci's face darkened further. He looked coldly at Jiang Chuan and said, "Are you threatening me?"

Jiang Chuan said calmly, "I just want you to understand that if you want to mess with my Diviner Alliance, you have to ask me first, Jiang Chuan, for permission."

When the name Jiangchuan was revealed, the scene fell silent.

The legendary figure that has been constantly being reported by the news agency these past two days.

He single-handedly helped the Diviner Alliance escape danger from the hands of the Qingyun Sect.

During the battle with the sect leader of Qingyun Sect.

Eating Qingyin Yan's tofu in public.

She was their goddess.

Jiang Chuan succeeded.

To commemorate this moment, Tangci specially placed a plaque in the restaurant that read "The Diviners' Alliance and Dogs Are Prohibited," implying that the Diviners' Alliance, like dogs, grew up eating excrement.

When the news agency spread this news, the entire city of Qing was in an uproar, and Jiang Chuan's name instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.

Jiang Chuan, an unknown name, became a legend in Qing City in just two days. His every move became the talk of the town.

"He's the guy who touched the goddess's butt," someone couldn't help but say.

"Brothers, we should teach him a lesson," someone suggested.

Tang Ci remained silent for a while, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Good, good, good, Jiang Chuan, you really make me look at you in a new light. You dare to touch the butt of the goddess of Qing City. Let alone your so-called Diviner Alliance, even ten of them wouldn't be enough to repay you."

Jiang Chuan's expression changed. He hadn't expected Tang Ci and the others to be so angry. They reacted so strongly to just a touch; what would happen if they kissed?

"Just a casual touch," Jiang Chuan said.

"Oh?" Tang Ci sneered. "Just touched her? Do you know what you touched? That's the goddess of Qing City, the faith of all of us. By insulting her like that, you are insulting all of us."

Jiang Chuan was speechless. However, Tang Ci didn't give him a chance to explain. He turned around and said to the others, "What are you all standing there for? Beat them up!"

Following Tang Ci's command, the crowd swarmed forward, and Jiang Chuan was instantly surrounded. They were ready to finish him off, but Jiang Chuan used his Shadowless Kick to take them down one by one.

They tried to resist while lying on the ground, but Jiang Chuan's kick was so powerful that it caused fractures of various sizes in their bodies.

Realizing the situation was dire, Tang Ci tried to escape, but Jiang Chuan blocked her way. "Where are you going?"

"Jiang Chuan, you've become an enemy of Qing City now. Do you think you're safe hiding in the Diviner Alliance?"

"Ha ha…"

"Let me tell you, even if you kill me, there will be thousands upon thousands of others like me to deal with you for the goddess." Tang Ci stood there, his legs trembling uncontrollably. He, a mid-stage Yellow Rank cultivator, was no match for Jiang Chuan.

"Want to die? Not so easy." Jiang Chuan pointed to the sign for the Diviner's Alliance and the sign that said "No Dogs Allowed." "Take it down and kneel on it and kowtow three times."

Tang Ci was stunned. He hadn't expected Jiang Chuan to make such a request. The plaque represented his worship of the goddess. If it were taken down, it would be tantamount to abandoning his faith. If others found out that he had desecrated the goddess, he would probably die a miserable death.

"I can't do it." Tang Ci's expression was solemn.

"Can't do it?" Jiang Chuan said in a deep voice.

A sharp glint flashed in Jiang Chuan's eyes. He approached Tang Ci and said in a low, powerful voice, "You would rather choose death than give up your faith? Tell me, is your faith really that important?"

Tang Ci clenched his teeth, his body trembling slightly, but his eyes were unusually firm as he said, "Yes, my faith is more important than life."

"Is that so?" Jiang Chuan raised his right hand, pulled Tang Ci's thigh into his palm, and began to twist it with both hands.

"Ah...oh..." Tang Ci grimaced in pain, unable to bear it any longer, "I'll knock it, I'll knock it."

“That’s more like it,” Jiang Chuan said, putting him down.

"You'll let me go if I kowtow three times, right?" Tang Ci asked.

Jiang Chuan didn't answer, but nodded instead.

Tang Ci carefully walked to the plaque, his hands trembling as he took it down. Then, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times. This scene shocked everyone present; they hadn't expected Tang Ci to actually agree to Jiang Chuan's request.

Where has his faith gone?
Jiang Chuan looked at Tang Ci's retreating figure, who was kowtowing, with a complicated expression.

The anger in my heart gradually subsided.

He knew he had won the fight.

Tang Ci, after kowtowing, silently stood up, his eyes filled with pain and helplessness. That plaque was no longer his faith, but his eternal sorrow.

"Tang Ci, you actually defied the goddess's will." Chen Jun walked to Tang Ci's side, unable to comprehend it.

Tang Ci glanced at him indifferently, a bitter smile playing on her lips, and slowly said, "Chen Jun, do you really think you understand the goddess's wishes? Or rather, do you think everything you've done represents the goddess's wishes?"

Chen Jun was stunned.

He looked at the Tang poems.

His eyes were filled with confusion and disbelief.

He once thought they were the same, that they were all believers in the goddess and fought for her, but now he realized that he had never really understood Tang poetry.

"Tang Ci, are you questioning my loyalty?"

Chen Jun's voice trembled slightly as he looked at Tang Ci, his eyes flashing with anger and unease.

Tang Ci shook his head and looked at Chen Jun. "No, Chen Jun, I don't question your loyalty. I'm just questioning your ignorance."

Chen Jun's face grew even uglier, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. He had once thought that he understood Tang Ci, that they were friends, partners, that they fought and lived together, and that they should be the same.

But now, he has discovered...

He seemed to have never truly understood Tang poetry; he actually bowed his head to Jiang Chuan, and did so while trying to maintain the image of a goddess.

"Jiang Chuan, you just wait. You'll die if you blaspheme against the goddess." Chen Jun said, then turned to leave.

"Did I say you could leave?" Jiang Chuan said.

"What do you want to do? Do you think I'm as easy to bully as Tang Ci?" Chen Jun has the Qingyun Sect backing him up, so he's not afraid of Jiang Chuan.

"What are you going to do? Of course, you'll crawl between Li Chunfeng's legs." Jiang Chuan pointed at Li Chunfeng, believing that Chen Jun should be held responsible for his earlier words.

"Are you out of your mind?" Chen Jun pointed at Jiang Chuan, but the latter snapped his finger in a flash. It happened in an instant, and Chen Jun didn't even feel the pain before he saw the outstretched finger pointing at him.

Jiang Chuan's action instantly brought Chen Jun to his senses.

His eyes widened.

He stared at his fingers in disbelief.

He looked at Jiang Chuan again, never expecting that Jiang Chuan would dare to attack him.

"You...you dare to hit me?!" Chen Jun asked in shock.

Jiang Chuan sneered, "Hit you? This is just the beginning." After saying that, he attacked Chen Jun again.

With a thud, Chen Jun knelt down, lowered his noble head, and begged for mercy, "Grandpa Jiang Chuan, spare my life."

Jiang Chuan's attack landed on his head; if he had knelt down any later, his fate would have been uncertain.

"Weren't you just giving a passionate speech? Why are you kneeling down now?" Tang Ci crawled to Chen Jun's side and mocked him.

Chen Jun was filled with shame and could not answer Tang Ci's question.

“Climb over there,” Jiang Chuan said again.

"I'll crawl, I'll crawl." Chen Jun crawled to Li Chunfeng's side and squeezed through without thinking.

"Can I leave now?" Chen Jun stood up, thinking that he would make sure the humiliation he suffered today was repaid tenfold when he got back.

Jiang Chuan gave Li Chunfeng a wink, and Li Chunfeng understood immediately. He raised his palm and placed it on Chen Jun's head. An invisible force of Bagua swept over Chen Jun's body, causing him to cough incessantly and look extremely pained.

Chen Jun's nerves gradually deteriorated, and he died.

Jiang Chuan and Li Chunfeng exchanged a glance.

Their faces showed sadness.

They were all cultivators who did not wish to get involved in the conflicts of the martial world, but the situation forced them to do so.

"Li Chunfeng actually killed Chen Jun." Cold sweat dripped from someone's forehead. "Chen Jun was from the Chen family, and the Chen family has considerable influence in Qing City. It seems the Diviner Alliance is in trouble." (End of Chapter)
