The box unfolded, revealing an exquisitely crafted folding fan inside.
Zheng Changnian took out the folding fan and handed it to Zheng Changye.
"Brother, this folding fan was obtained from Master Shangming by our cousin.
When he was young, Master Shangming also wielded a folding fan.
This particular one was used by Master Shangming during his pri.
I originally intended to gift it to you as a birthday present.
But today, I couldn’t help myself and decided to give it to you now..."
"Tonight, I was a bit too outspoken, I hope you won’t hold it against , brother..."
Zheng Changye slowly accepted the folding fan; it was exceptionally well-made and exuded a faint aura.
Honestly, after revealing my inner dissatisfaction like this, Zheng Changye thought.
The path awaiting would be one of decline for the rest of my life.
Unexpectedly, I didn’t truly understand this cousin of mine.
"Changnian knows that brother suffered so grievances in front of that person and feels indignant.
If I were in that situation, I’d also think of ways to vent my anger.
However, in Cangxuan Valley, it’s actually quite troubleso if you want to suppress him.
Changnian is sowhat familiar with the Mansion Master of Feixia Mansion, dealing with an Outer Sect disciple is easy."
Hearing Zheng Changnian’s words and receiving this folding fan.
Zheng Changye felt slightly relieved in his heart.
"Thank you, Changnian. Sotis I do get too obsessed..."
"It’s fine. Actually, when I saw that person tonight, I imdiately felt he was sowhat annoying.
He appears humble, but there’s a hint of arrogance in his deanor.
Probably he cos from a small place like the Northern Mountain Domain and, thinking he has so skills, holds himself in high esteem.
Might as well teach him a little lesson."
Zheng Changnian spoke indifferently, dealing with Shen Han seed like a trivial task to him.
North side of the valley.
Mu Ming walked alongside, explaining the intricacies of interpersonal relationships to Shen Han.
"In the future, never argue with those Inner Sect disciples. Although we aren’t supposed to fight fellow disciples, they have plenty of ways to deal with us.
You must learn to endure.
Today was really unlucky, thinking we caught a thief, but he turned out to be connected to Zheng Changnian...
Just consider it a lesson learned."
Walking beside him, upon hearing Zheng Changnian’s na, Shen Han paused and looked at Mu Ming.
"Senior Brother Mu, is this Zheng Changnian very powerful in Cangxuan Valley?"
"We Outer Sect disciples have no idea how powerful he is; we only know he’s quite famous, and even the Valley Master seems to favor him.
He must have so skills, but he’s too far removed from us.
Today’s trivial matter won’t even catch their attention."
Mu Ming said with a smile, displaying the typical mindset of a small character.
A small character doesn’t need to fret over small grievances; even if you offend a big figure, they won’t bother with you.
But Shen Han still needed to remain vigilant.
Zheng Changye already nursed a grudge against him, and the people behind him likely weren’t easy to appease.
Nevertheless, Shen Han wasn’t too worried.
Given his current strength, if he wanted to escape, even an ordinary Immortal Realm wouldn’t be able to stop him.
If his life were truly in danger, he could just leave.
Back at the courtyard, they each prepared to return to their rooms for rest.
Before parting, it seed Mu Ming rembered sothing.
"Oh, Junior Brother Shen.
The day after tomorrow, there’s a training exercise at Feixia Mansion; you should participate, you might gain sothing from the experience."
"A training exercise? Senior Brother Mu, aren’t you going?"
"I’ve gone every year without gaining anything; truth be told, I wouldn’t go even if they offered contribution points.
If I get injured inside, it wouldn’t be worth the trouble."
Shen Han nodded, with the night growing late, he refrained from asking further questions.
Deep into the night.
Every night now, Shen Han would delve into the consciousness of the Gen Mountain Secret Technique.
He grew increasingly familiar with using his Divine Soul.
Others struggled with blood and energy deficiency in nurturing their Divine Soul, hindering its cultivation.
But for Shen Han, this posed no issue.
With the Unceasing Skill, he lacked nothing in terms of blood and energy.
Whenever his Divine Soul needed nurturing, he could supply it.
His current challenge lay in how to manage multiple Divine Souls.
If they couldn’t coordinate after being divided, practicing the Soul Shattering Tao Skill would be utterly pointless.
For the past few nights, he nurtured his Divine Soul in the courtyard.
During the day, Shen Han continued assisting Mu Ming in guarding the herbs.
In his spare monts, he would extract the [Vibrant] attribute from roadside weeds.
And apply it to struggling herbs.
With such efforts, the contribution rewards should increase a bit.
Shen Han genuinely appreciated his Senior Brother Mu; he was indeed a nice person.
After all, how many would lend money to an unfamiliar junior brother?
Even though ten contribution points weren’t much, the willingness to lend was comndable.
Three days passed like this.
The training exercise Mu Ming ntioned was today.
Not planning to go, Senior Brother Mu asked Shen Han to tag along with others to the training location.
Today’s exercise was a reward from Feixia Mansion for Outer Sect disciples.
No contribution points were needed to participate.
Upon reaching the destination, Shen Han positioned himself behind the crowd, assessing this so-called training.
Feixia Mansion usually felt sparsely populated, but today, roughly estimated, there were over a hundred people.
The so-called training area was actually a quest to search in the mountains.
Before them stretched a continuous mountain range, and the best items were said to be in a cave within the mountains.
The rules forbade any fighting with each other, and only half a day’s ti was allotted.
