Jun Hefang and Hua Kaixie also smiled, very interested as they drew closer, hiding their figures.
At the sa ti, Huang Yifan, Xiang Xinghe, Li Changkong, and Lv Jiao Mountain’s Divine Thoughts slowly drifted over.
These are the seeds of the first-year competition, naturally warranting special attention.
Moreover, now that their soul figure, Fang Che, has arrived to sort out the changes during this ti, it demands even more attention.
"There have been quite a few things happening lately, right? Who can tell about them?"
Fang Che smiled, sitting cross-legged on the ground.
Everyone looked at each other.
"I’ll speak then."
Qiu Yunchang volunteered.
Then he recounted how Fang Che was taken away for questioning, Xie Gongping’s inappropriate remarks, how everyone started gathering Spiritual dicines, the announcent of the competition by the Martial Arts Academy, and other incidents. He even included the matter of Yu Zhongge giving Ding Jie Ran the Swordsmanship manual without missing anything.
Every incident was recounted straightforwardly, without any emotional color or personal views added.
Simple and clean.
Fang Che listened earnestly.
Then he looked at Yu Zhongge: "The matter with Xie Gongping, the way you handled it was a bit stiff."
Yu Zhongge lowered his head and said, "Boss Fang, you’re right. My way of handling was indeed stiff and crude at that ti."
Fang Che waved his hand and said to Xie Gongping: "Gongping, what you said at the ti, now that I hear it, doesn’t affect much. The brothers might have been angry and said a few harsh words, but in reality, the reason we distanced you was not because of that. We still trust your character. Rest assured."
Xie Gongping’s eyes welled with tears: "Yes, Boss Fang."
"Yu Zhongge, you speak now. Since we are going to roam the Jianghu together in the future, so things need to be openly discussed, sincerely and honestly, without everyone speculating about each other."
"After all, we are brothers who will live and die together, and it’s better to be open about so things."
Yu Zhongge nodded, convinced, and said: "Yes, it is still my old habit from being a scion of a big family that is causing problems. I will try to correct it and won’t make this mistake again."
He cleared his throat and said: "Xie Gongping, actually, you are a bit narrow-minded, but you don’t lack integrity. In critical monts, we all believe you can sacrifice yourself to fight for your brothers."
"We have so small opinions about you, but it’s not to the extent of looking down on you."
"The real reason is, right now, you can’t keep up."
Yu Zhongge sighed: "I know that saying it this way can make you feel uncomfortable, but the fact is, in today’s battle, you’ve seen it. In the future, everyone’s cultivation progress will be faster and faster. And your gap will widen."
"If you force yourself to follow, there are a few ways; one is, Mo Gan Yun, Qiu Yun, Shangjing, Shuanggao, and I use family resources to forcibly enhance you step by step. Over ti, you and us will naturally beco a vassal relationship."
"Once accustod to this, you will still detach from the team. You and your family will beco a vassal family of any one of our families, playing a supporting role."
"However, we have been brothers all along, and this kind of change, even we wouldn’t feel comfortable."
"But in the future, as our cultivation improves, it will be dangerous when we go out to do things. We all have confidence in self-preservation, but adding you, everyone would lose confidence. We are all Martial Artists, you understand. If one day you sacrifice, it would be a bigger impact on us. Because we could have avoided letting you participate and excluded you. That way you wouldn’t die, but because we neglected your strength and forced you along, you beco our Heart Demon."
"Hence, when I noticed it, and you happened to make that comnt... I just exploded. Leveraging the topic was intended, and the anger was real then, because I can’t tolerate soone gloating over their own brother."
Yu Zhongge stood up: "I apologize for that."
Xie Gongping, seemingly lost, said: "So that’s how it is."
He stood up with a disheartened expression and said: "Then it’s fine, I thought... it was my character problem..."
Yu Zhongge stood up and said: "Xie Gongping!"
"Hm?"
Yu Zhongge said: "Since the matter was openly discussed today, let finish it here. In the future, when we practice against each other here, you can still co if you wish. But with the growing skill gap, you may no longer be willing. The reason we excluded you is that when you are outside, you might encounter your own opportunity, fate, and be greatly enhanced. Or perhaps, you can form your own team, you are inherently excellent, we all know this."
"But you are just as aware, if we teammates in this group encounter so fortune in the future, I’m afraid... it wouldn’t be yours."
Yu Zhongge was saying from the bottom of his heart with this sentence.
"We all equally hope that, in the future, you rise up and co seeking us out, knocking each of us down!"
Yu Zhongge said: "Xie Gongping, don’t you want that?"
Xie Gongping was startled and then suddenly laughed heartily: "Indeed! Why should I be bullied by you? Later, I will definitely co and beat each one of you up in return!"
He boasted arrogantly and laughed heartily.
He turned and instantly disappeared from sight.
The six people watched as Xie Gongping’s figure vanished, their expressions on each face varied.
"Consider it a satisfactory resolution, Xie Gongping might not feel good, but you successfully ignited his fighting spirit at the end, very well done."
Fang Che sighed: "In the future, Xie Gongping might train even harder. Just hope that one day, he can co back."
Mo Gan Yun looked at Fang Che with much bewildernt.
He did not understand why Fang Che let Yu Zhongge co out to explain.
Instead of Fang Che explaining it with his understanding.
The effect of the explanation would be the sa.
But the power of speech was different.
Mo Gan Yun couldn’t believe Fang Che would neglect such an issue.
Yu Zhongge also sighed and said: "This is probably the least painful for . If this happens again in the future, I might be very distressed."
He faced Fang Che and said: "I’ve finished speaking, Boss Fang."
Fang Che laughed and said: "Then I’ll say a few words."
The other five sat straight up simultaneously.
Fang Che slowly said:
"Our thod of ranking by martial prowess will continue until graduation."
Fang Che smiled faintly: "Actually, from the start, I knew our team is not simple."
"Not just not simple, but you’d say instead that navigating Jianghu is essential, and future accomplishnts are even more necessary. Generally, families don’t have such requirents for children, but it is a compulsory course for scions of large families."
"So, while we keep competing, we will also go out to do tasks together, then go out to take up positions, and then go out to serve as Guardians or to slay Demon Beasts, Demon Sect, or do all sorts of things."
"And in this team, it will naturally form roles of the Boss, Old er, Old third... En, leader, vanguard, think tank, logistics, and different divisions of responsibility."
Fang Che looked at the five, speaking word by word.
"In a regular team, there’s always soone unsmiling, soone with strict impartiality, soone controlling the big picture, soone leading the charge, soone dedicated to being funny, soone who is always calculating, and an additional Chief Housekeeper. Do you understand what I’m saying?"
"Actually, the formation of any team is heading towards this aspect."
"The key lies in synergy and common progress without having anyone left behind midway. Like Xie Gongping."
Fang Che spoke seriously and comprehensively.
Yu Zhongge and others felt that Fang Che’s explanation now broke down the details and made it easier to understand than when their family elders explained it.
And more intuitive.
"Everyone has their temperant and pride; if released individually, each one of you is a standout talent in the woods. Hence, our current team is hard to shape."
"For example, you guys from large families, the family basically expects you to be leaders of smaller groups and never hope you will play a lesser role within your respective teams."
"This creates a massive conflict. Because there can only be one leader."
"In contrast, Ding Jie Ran and I don’t have such concerns because we were never given such education."
Yu Zhongge gave a bitter smile: "I can believe Ding Jie Ran didn’t receive it, but Boss, beating to death, I wouldn’t believe you didn’t!"
The others also laughed one after another.
Indeed, looking at Fang Che now, speaking more expertly than experts themselves, who would believe he doesn’t understand?
"I just figured things out step by step from that day on."
Fang Che offered an explanation, then continued: "Still, our team, once ford, can essentially sweep through those of the sa level, essentially equals to invincibility at the sa tier. So, the future holds significant possibilities."
"But now, we still face the issue of synchronization. For , due to particular circumstances, I shouldn’t lag too far behind in the short term. And you four have great family backing, strong fundantal heritage, which will also gradually catch up."
"Now it’s Ding Jie Ran, Old Ding. With the Sword Manual given by Yu Zhongge, you can essentially stay up to the second or third year without lagging, but once you fall behind, you can never catch up again. But by that ti, you must not accept any more gifts from Yu Zhongge. The reasons Yu Zhongge has already explained to Xie Gongping."
Ding Jie Ran murmured: "Second or third year eh? That... is enough."
Fang Che nodded: "Lastly, let’s talk about the position of Boss."
The four people’s eyes suddenly glistened.
"For now, I am the Boss. However, I won’t hold this position too long, as you have accumulated enough already; you are now Innate Great Grandmasters, even if you haven’t started exerting effort,, the General Level should be in progress. I know your horrific speed."
Fang Che gave a bitter laugh: "So, after a while, I’ll probably be knocked down by you."
Mo Gan Yun grinned.
Yu Zhongge also grimaced while clutching his shoulder that Fang Che had hit.
Qiu Yunshang and Jing Shuanggao outright rolled their eyes.
If Ding Jie Ran were to fall behind one day, they would believe it.
But Fang Che...
They would never believe it in their wildest dreams!
