At Shen Shi, the disciples of the Ye family finished their training and entered free time.
"Brother Ye Fan, let's go to the back mountain to practice swordsmanship together."
As soon as Ye Fan stood up, Xin Donger ran over and shouted sweetly.
Although the Ye family is a family, it does not only teach its own juniors, but also recruits children with outstanding talents on weekdays.
When he heard Xin Dong'er calling him, Ye Fan shook his head and said, "I want to practice alone."
Before Xin Dong'er could say anything, a man in front of him wearing a dark green crane cloak with gold threads turned around and said disdainfully: "Humph, you don't know how to show appreciation, and a loser dares to put on airs."
Standing on the tree and observing the current situation, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but curl up his lips.
‘Not bad, not bad, it tastes good.’
Ye Fan glanced at the man, his eyes full of anger.
"What? Did I say something wrong about you? It's all your fault for causing our Ye family to be so embarrassed. It makes me feel embarrassed to go out for a drink now."
After hearing this, Xin Donger immediately protected Ye Fan and shouted: "Ye Yong! I think you are too embarrassed to go to Goulan to listen to the music. Is that true?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yong quickly laughed and said: "Why would I go to that kind of place, Dong'er, don't listen to other people's nonsense."
"Humph, you know whether you are going or not. Brother Ye Fan, let's go."
Xin Dong'er said, pulling Ye Fan and walking towards the depths of the forest.
Jiang Beiran, who stood on the tree and watched this bloody drama, couldn't help but shake his head. He didn't know whether Dong'er wanted to help her brother Ye Fan, or whether he wanted to harm her brother Ye Fan.
"This waste!" Ye Yong cursed fiercely, gestured to his companions with his eyes, and walked deeper into the forest.
'Tsk, as expected, no matter where you are, wherever there are beauties, there will be male hormones permeating the air.'
Xin Dong'er looks like a girl in a painting, and yet she expresses her love for Ye Fan so obviously. Isn't this putting Ye Fan, who is already at the forefront of the limelight, to death?
"Follow up."
After saying something to Wu Qingce next to him, Jiang Beiran chased after Ye Fan in the direction he left.
"Brother Ye Fan, just ignore them. Come, let's practice swordsmanship."
Looking at Xin Dong'er who was concerned about him, Ye Fan sighed and said, "I don't want to practice sword practice today."
"Okay, then let's not practice sword practice and do what Brother Ye Fan wants to do."
"What do I want to do?" Ye Fan looked at his hands and couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
When he first started practicing three years ago, he quickly surpassed his peers with his outstanding talent. Before many people could condense their profound energy, he had already broken through to the second level of Qi training and was hailed as the strongest in the Ye family in a century.
genius.
However, when he was promoted to the third level of Qi training with great momentum, he could no longer improve. He who could easily absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth suddenly turned into a waste, someone who could not sense the spiritual energy at all.
waste.
His father, who was in the Xuanling Realm, went around seeking medical advice for him, but everyone who came said they didn't know what was going on.
As a result, sarcastic words such as "fallen genius" and "ephemeral waste" were applied to him.
The cousins who had been very close to him not only did not try to comfort him, but all of them took the lead in laughing at him.
Looking at the faces of these people, young Ye Fan fell into confusion.
'Are these people so mean and snobbish? Maybe it's because they once showed the most humble smile in front of me, so now they want to take it back...'
With a bitter smile, Ye Fan decided not to have any further contact with the disciples in his clan. That lonely figure seemed so out of tune with the world around him.
"Dong'er, I think Ye Fan doesn't want to do anything, he just wants to die."
At this time, Ye Yong, who was closely following behind, walked up and looked at Ye Fan and said sarcastically.
"Ye Yong! Why are you still following me!"
"Dong'er, I am doing this for your own good. Ye Fan is now the target of public criticism within the clan, and you will be implicated if you are always with him."
"Hmph, what is the target of public criticism? I think you are targeting brother Ye Fan." Xin Dong'er stood next to Ye Fan and said, "But it doesn't matter, it's enough for me to accompany brother Ye Fan."
'Fuck...'
Jiang Beiran couldn't help but cursed in his heart, this woman was trying to kill Mark.
Sure enough, after listening to Xin Donger's words, Ye Yong, whose eyes were full of jealousy, pointed at Ye Fan and shouted: "Ye Fan, if you dare, fight with me! Don't always hide behind women!"
Upon hearing this, Xin Dong'er immediately protected Ye Fan and said, "If you have anything to do, just come to me. You can come together!"
After listening to this, Jiang Beiran scanned Xin Dong'er's cultivation level with his mental power and found that she was already at the ninth level of Qi training, while Ye Yong and the brothers he brought were only at about the sixth level of Qi training.
"Humph! A waste is a waste and will hide behind women! Let's go!" Ye Yong, who knew he could not please anyone, waved his hand and left with his brothers.
When Ye Yong and the others left, Xin Donger stamped her feet and said: "These people are so shameless! You used to flatter Brother Ye Fan when you saw him, but now..."
Halfway through her words, Xin Dong'er noticed Ye Fan's frustrated expression and quickly changed the subject: "Brother Ye Fan, how about we..."
"Dong'er." Ye Fan shouted.
"Um?"
"I'm sorry, please leave me alone for a while."
"I..." Xin Dong'er wanted to say something more, but in the end she didn't say it, "Okay... Then Dong'er will leave first."
After Xin Dong'er left, Ye Fan found a tree stump and sat on it. After being dazed for a while, he suddenly punched the ground.
"Haha, look, this loser is so incompetent and furious."
After Ye Fan heard this, he turned around suddenly and found that Ye Yong was coming back with his men.
"Ye Yong, don't bully others too much!"
"Haha, why did I go too far to deceive others? You are a loser who only knows how to hide behind women! Now that Dong'er is not around, I wonder who else can protect you."
"What do you want!"
"How about it? As I said before, if you can beat me in a fight, I promise to avoid you when I see you in the future."
After speaking, Ye Yong rushed up and punched him without waiting for Ye Fan to answer.
Before Ye Fan, who was hit hard, had time to fight again, Ye Yong punched him in the stomach again.
From the sixth level of Qi training to the third level of Qi training, Ye Fan had no power to fight back and was quickly knocked to the ground.
"Humph, trash is trash." Ye Yong stepped on Ye Fan's head and smiled disdainfully: "Don't get close to Dong'er again, or I'll beat you every time I see you! Let's go."
When Ye Yong walked away, Jiang Beiran was just thinking about pretending to be a mysterious person and went down, when he saw two options pop up.
[Option 1: Go down and help Ye Fan. Completion reward: Xun Kong Mingfa (earth-level mid-grade)]
[Option 2: Leave directly. Completion reward: Random basic attribute point +1]
'Um?'
Looking at the two options, Jiang Beiran sighed inwardly. Sure enough, it was too simple and crude to help him directly like this. It might arouse his strong wariness, or it might lead to some very bad consequences.
'It is indeed a heaven-level salted fish option. Even the simplest one is not so easy to complete.'
'Fortunately, I prepared four plans. If A doesn't work, then B.'
Looking at Ye Fan clenching his fists on the ground, Jiang Beiran turned to Wu Qingce and said, "Let's go."
"Ah!?" Wu Qingce was stunned. He thought that his senior brother was so interested in this Ye Fan that he must help him or something. When Ye Fan was beaten just now, he had been waiting for his senior brother's order, but he didn't expect that his senior brother would actually
I planned to leave just like that.
But seeing his senior brother turn around and leave after finishing speaking, Wu Qingce quickly followed.
Returning directly to the hillside where they were stationed, Jiang Beiran took out his cirrus tube and blew out a cloud.
"Go in, let's go back to the clan."
"ah!?"
Wu Qingce was stunned again, but when he thought that he could never guess what his senior brother was thinking, he went into the cloud obediently.
Returning to Guixin Sect at the fastest speed, Jiang Beiran gave Wu Qingce a few words.
"Then...what if the sect master doesn't tell me?" Wu Qingce asked after listening.
"Then I'll think of another way and go ahead."
"yes."
Wu Qingce hugged Jiang Beiran and walked all the way to the door of Tianyun Peak Sect Master's Mansion.
Wu Qingce is a very popular person in the Guixin Sect recently. Everyone knows that he has made a big name for the sect. Even the sect leader often praises him. So when they saw Wu Qingce coming, the two gatekeepers Moman immediately went in diligently.
He reported it and told Wu Qingce that the sect master was waiting for him inside.
After thanking both of you very much, Wu Qingce walked all the way to the front hall, saluted at the door and said: "Meet the sect leader."
"No courtesy, come in."
When Wu Qingce walked into the main hall, Lu Yinlong asked: "Is the matter done?"
"Thanks to the sect master, it has been completed." Wu Qingce said with cupped hands.
Lu Yinlong laughed after hearing this: "What can I help you with? What kind of blessing can you ask me for? You are here specifically to pay my respects this time. You should come to me if you have anything to do."
"Even though I'm here to pay my respects, I still have something I want to ask the sect master about."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"Since I joined the sect, I have always heard that the sect master is a master of swordsmanship. However, my swordsmanship has been stagnant recently, so I would like to ask the sect master for some advice."
"Why, does Luanxingtang have nothing to teach you anymore?"
"No, Luan Xing Hall is very good, but the disciples want to learn better."
Lu Yinlong laughed loudly after hearing this: "Okay, okay, ambitious! Like me!"
After speaking, Lu Yinlong stood up, walked to Wu Qingce, patted his shoulder and said, "It seems that you did understand what I said before. Yes, you can teach me."
‘Huh??? What are you talking about?’
Wu Qingce was stunned for a moment, not knowing which sentence the sect leader was referring to.
But of course he wouldn't ask, because this is what his senior brother taught him. When he encounters something he can't understand, he should stop talking and pretend to be an expert.
"But I have to go on a long trip recently. I will teach you well when I come back."
'Senior brother is simply a god!'
Hearing what the sect master said as expected by his senior brother, Wu Qingce immediately asked according to his senior brother's instructions: "The sect leader is going on a far journey? Is there anything that the disciples can help with?"
After hearing this, Lu Yinlong laughed again: "It's rare for you to have such a heart, and it's not in vain that I have trained you, but this matter..." Lu Yinlong paused and suddenly changed his tone.
: "You really can't help much with other things, but I have a small or medium-sized thing at hand, and you can really help me."
"I am willing to go through fire and water for the sect leader!" Wu Qingce replied sonorously.
"Hahaha, it's not that serious, it's just some housework." After Lu Yinlong said that, he briefly told Wu Qingce about Lu Qingyin's break-up.
'Senior brother is truly a god!'
Seeing that things developed exactly as his senior brother said, Wu Qingce's admiration for his senior brother rose to another level in his heart.
‘There are no tricks left! You are indeed my perfect senior brother!’
After worshiping his senior brother again in his heart, Wu Qingce said: "For such a small matter, it is better for the disciple to go to Ye's house on behalf of the sect leader to get the matter settled."
Lu Yinlong did not go directly to Ye's house after learning about the break-up of the engagement, because he felt that it would be too expensive if he came to apologize for such a trivial matter right away. He originally planned to delay going for a while, but then he heard Wu Qingce recommending himself...
He suddenly had an idea that could solve the problem without lowering the price.
"Okay, let's do it this way. If you go as a disciple of my Gui Xin Sect, I'm afraid the Ye family will feel that I'm insulting them, but if you go as one of my direct disciples...then the Ye family probably won't feel that way."
If it had been before, Wu Qingce would have definitely said, "Since there is a direct disciple of the sect master taking action, then the disciple should resign first."
But now that I have been taught by my senior brother for so long, I understand what the sect master means.
So Wu Qingce knelt directly in front of Lu Yinlong and said: "Disciple pays homage to master."
"Okay, okay, okay!" After saying three times in a row, Lu Yinlong happily stroked his beard and said, "Then this matter will be regarded as your first test. If you can successfully complete it, I will officially accept you when I come back.
As my direct disciple."
After speaking, Lu Yinlong told Wu Qingce everything about the Ye family and gave him an apology and other things.
After taking everything, Wu Qingce cupped his hands and said, "Master, please rest assured, I will finish it properly." After saying that, he said goodbye and exited the sect leader's mansion.
Returning to the back mountain, Wu Qingce told his senior brother everything that had just happened.
Jiang Beiran was quite surprised when he heard that Lu Yinlong directly accepted Wu Qingce as his direct disciple. After all, in his impression, the sect master had not confiscated his direct disciples for a long time.
But he likes this kind of accident. The stronger Wu Qingce is, the more advantageous he can be.
Seeing that his senior brother was not surprised at all that he was accepted as a direct disciple by the sect master, Wu Qingce raised his hand and said: "Senior brother, you are simply amazing! Everything is developing as you expected."
In fact, Jiang Beiran just gave it a try. He had been observing in Jiyuan Town for so long and found that the sect leader never came to the Ye family to apologize, nor did he send anyone from the Guixin Sect to apologize. He knew that Lu Yinlong did not take this matter seriously.
Keep it in mind.
That's why I tried to ask Wu Qingce to test a few words. If everything goes well, then he can carry out his Plan B. If he didn't ask, or the sect leader didn't let Wu Qingce be the messenger, Jiang Beiran would use Plan D.
However, things obviously went smoothly this time, and the first step of Plan B has been completed.
Smiling slightly, Jiang Beiran blew out the clouds and said, "Go up, let's go back to Jiyuan Town."
Seeing his senior brother's expression as he expected, Wu Qingce couldn't help but shout in his heart again.
'You are not shy, you are indeed my perfect senior brother!'
