Chapter 243: Chapter 243: The Truth that Lu Xinghe Cannot Accept
The surroundings were completely silent.
Not a sound could be heard.
The rustling sound of dry, yellow leaves falling to the ground was distinctly audible.
All eyes were stunned, watching the scene before them.
It was only half a mont later that everyone ca back to their senses.
“Hiss! Senior Sister Yi bowed to this Outer Sect disciple?”
...
“Am I seeing things? Is this really the Senior Sister Yi I know?”
“Her cousin was bullied, and she didn’t help but instead bowed and apologized to the other party?”
Even those who understood Jiang Fan well, like Yuan Zhiyu, were stunned on the spot.
The expected confrontation, reprimand, or even possible fight did not occur.
On the contrary, it was a scene she couldn’t possibly have imagined!
That proud, cold, and rude woman.
Actually… Actually bowed and admitted her fault to Jiang Fan!
She wondered if Yi Lianxing was really sick.
She seed like a completely different person!
Lu Xinghe was even more stunned.
His cousin didn’t make trouble for Jiang Fan but instead bowed and apologized on his behalf?
Regaining his senses, he imdiately beca embarrassed and angry. “Cousin! Are you crazy?”
“He bullied , and you didn’t help !”
“Instead, you apologize on my behalf?”
“Why should I apologize? Why?”
Yi Lianxing’s face changed, and she scolded, “Shut up!”
“Do not be disrespectful to Junior Brother Jiang!”
When she learned that the person who bullied Lu Xinghe was Jiang Fan.
It was imdiately clear to her.
If Jiang Fan had been abusing his power, he wouldn’t have allowed her to reconsider the fight after demonstrating a few cultivation techniques.
By any asure, Jiang Fan didn’t seem like soone who liked to stir up trouble.
Moreover, with Jiang Fan’s strength, if he really wanted to bully Lu Xinghe, would he suffer only minor injuries?
Jiang Fan had clearly shown rcy!
So, she could almost piece together what had happened.
Most likely, her arrogant, aggressive cousin had provoked Jiang Fan, thinking too highly of himself.
Which led to his retaliation.
Unable to swallow this anger, he ca to her to spin the story upside down.
Thinking about this, she beca increasingly disappointed with Lu Xinghe.
She shouted, “Co here and apologize properly to Junior Brother Jiang!”
Lu Xinghe couldn’t believe it.
His hard-won backer not only didn’t help him.
She even forced him to apologize to Jiang Fan?
How could he tolerate this?
“Yi Lianxing! Did you take the wrong dicine?”
“You want to apologize to him? Who is he? Does he deserve it?”
“If you want to bow down and scrape, go ahead. Don’t think I’m a spineless wimp like you!”
Lu Xinghe yelled regardless of the occasion.
Attracting the female disciples to point and whisper about Yi Lianxing.
This embarrassed Yi Lianxing greatly.
Jiang Fan didn’t want them to fall out because of him.
So he said, “Senior Sister Yi, forget it.”
“Since we were teammates on a mission together, I won’t hold a grudge for what happened in the past.”
“Just let him be.”
What?
Yi Lianxing was taken aback.
Her cousin had once been a teammate with Jiang Fan?
Such a good opportunity to make connections, and her cousin not only missed it but had a conflict?
She beca even angrier, glaring viciously at Lu Xinghe:
“You are a worthless piece of trash!”
“Do you know what you missed?”
Lu Xinghe laughed angrily: “Yi Lianxing! You are the worthless piece of trash!”
“What is Jiang Fan? Why are you flattering him so much? Huh?”
He couldn’t understand it!
What was so special about Jiang Fan?
Why did every woman who t him have a changed attitude!
Forget about his junior sister Qin Caihe.
Forget about Song Biyao at the mountain gate.
Even his cousin had changed like this!
He couldn’t comprehend it!
Jiang Fan was a waste. Why did he attract so many outstanding won?
These should clearly belong to Lu Xinghe!
The Task Hall deacon, waiting to take Jiang Fan to report to the Sect Master, urged: “Junior Brother Jiang, the Sect Master is waiting for you.”
“Let’s go.”
Jiang Fan also wanted to get the Earth Phoenix Grass Marrow as soon as possible, nodded, and followed along.
Lu Xinghe, still feeling indignant, wouldn’t let Jiang Fan go. “Stop right there! Did I say you could leave?”
“Settle our scores before you go!”
He stepped forward to block their way.
The Task Hall deacon got angry and shouted, “Bold! Do you dare block soone summoned by our Sect Master?”
Lu Xinghe was dismissive, “What important business could Sect Master Gong have with such a minor character?”
“It’s probably about the task of escorting spiritual dicine, right?”
“If anyone should be seen, it should be !”
“I am the legitimate team leader!”
The Task Hall deacon beca furious and slapped Lu Xinghe across the face, leaving a red handprint. “Get lost!”
“You unreasonable thing!”
Lu Xinghe, slapped in the face, beca even more defiant, gritting his teeth and shouted:
“Fine! Fine! Is the Spirit Beast Sect showing favoritism towards the disciples of the two sects?”
“I’ll report this to our Myriad Swords Sect Master!”
“Let him know how the Spirit Beast Sect discriminates between the Green Cloud Sect and Myriad Swords Sect!”
“Hmph!”
The Task Hall deacon was beside herself with anger.
They even brought up inter-sect relations.
Seeing this, she didn’t hold back anymore, disdainfully saying:
“Junior Brother Jiang eradicated the Black Lotus Bandits, which is why the Sect Master summoned him!”
“You just completed a third-tier task, and you think you deserve to see the Sect Master?”
“Get out of my sight!”
What?
Eradicated the Black Lotus Bandits?
Jiang Fan?
Lu Xinghe felt as if he had heard the biggest joke, laughing wildly, “Are you all idiots?”
“To believe he could wipe out the Black Lotus Bandits?”
“Hahaha…”
However, as he laughed.
He noticed his cousin silently watching him.
In the distance, Qin Caihe and Chu Xingng were also quietly watching him.
Even the Task Hall deacon looked at him disdainfully.
As if watching a wild monkey throwing a tantrum.
Lu Xinghe gradually stopped laughing, feeling uneasy.
Yi Lianxing rubbed her temples, and waved her hand tiredly. “Let’s go quickly.”
“Don’t ever say I’m your cousin again.”
“I can’t afford to lose face like this!”
Qin Caihe couldn’t help but reveal the truth.
“Senior Brother Lu, how long will you remain stubborn?”
“Have you not thought about why we could safely leave the Black Lotus Bandits’ encirclent?”
“And why, when Black Lotus pursued us, he instead lost his head?”
Lu Xinghe stamred, “W-wasn’t there a master protecting us in secret?”
Qin Caihe rolled her eyes, “Why would soone capable of killing Black Lotus protect a few low-tier martial artists like us?”
“Is it because of your high status? Your strong background? Or was our task too high-level?”
This…
Lu Xinghe gradually began to understand.
Indeed, they were insignificant. Could they be worth such powerful protection?
If it wasn’t a master.
Then who could it be?
He slowly looked at Jiang Fan, cold sweat quickly forming on his forehead.
Qin Caihe gave the final answer.
