When the gale stirred by Fang Chen reached the girl, it transformed into a gentle breeze, merely lifting a few strands of her raven-black hair before its force completely dissipated, not even touching the hem of her clothes.
The strands of hair brushed past the girl’s exquisitely painted brows and eyes, swept over her snow-white skin and jade-like lips, and finally settled on her shoulders.
Watching Fang Chen’s retreating figure, a look of astonishment appeared on Jiang Ningyi’s stunningly beautiful, cool face…
The proficiency level of this Gale Step-if she were at the Qi Condensation stage, she definitely wouldn’t be able to perform it with such finesse.
To have such Expert-level mastery over this footwork technique, he must surely be a person of exceptional talent, so why was he still staying in the outer sect?
“Senior Sister Jiang!”
Xiao Qing approached at this moment.
“This is from Wan’er for you!”
Seeing Xiao Qing walk over, Jiang Ningyi collected her thoughts, took out a storage ring, and tossed it to Xiao Qing, saying flatly, “She told you not to refuse this time!”
But to Jiang Ningyi’s surprise, Xiao Qing actually smiled and said, “Don’t worry, please tell Wan’er for me that I’m accepting it this time!”
“Why the sudden change?”
Jiang Ningyi asked, puzzled.
Previously, Xiao Qing had always believed that cultivation should rely on one’s own strength and didn’t want to depend on Wan’er’s resources, so he never accepted.
Why did he change today?
“Because Senior Brother Fang taught me a principle, making me realize I can no longer waste Wan’er’s expectations of me!”
Xiao Qing’s youthful face shone with a radiance he never had before.
Hearing that someone had actually changed Xiao Qing, Jiang Ningyi immediately thought of Fang Chen who had just run off in the distance and asked curiously, “Senior Brother Fang? That person just now?”
“That’s right!”
“Who is he? With such cultivation of the Gale Step, he shouldn’t be an unknown person in the outer sect, right?”
Jiang Ningyi’s beautiful eyes unconsciously shifted toward the direction where Fang Chen had disappeared.
“Yes, Senior Brother Fang is quite famous in the outer sect. His name is Fang Chen!”
Xiao Qing said.
“Fang Chen?”
Upon hearing this name, Jiang Ningyi was first taken aback, then her beautiful face changed, and a few threads of instinctive killing intent erupted from her eyes. “Him? Isn’t he the most notorious profligate in the outer sect?”
“Yes! But, Senior Sister Jiang, we’ve all actually misunderstood him!”
Xiao Qing, knowing that Jiang Ningyi, like himself before, had misunderstood Senior Brother Fang, hurriedly explained.
“What misunderstanding?”
Jiang Ningyi’s tone was unfriendly.
Since she began cultivating, she had always detested people like Fang Chen the most.
This kind of person, though he entered the sect ten years earlier than her and was her senior brother, had mediocre talent, an evil heart, bullied junior brothers with lower cultivation levels, was arrogant and overbearing, with numerous reprehensible deeds!
Especially after learning that Fang Chen had challenged Xiao Qing to a life-and-death duel, and Wan’er worriedly begged her to help Xiao Qing, her hatred for Fang Chen had reached its peak! Read the latest chapters at novelping.com.
If not for the sect rules, she would have long since beheaded him with one strike of her sword.
“Senior Brother Fang isn’t actually a bad person! You didn’t know, right? His cultivation is actually at Qi Condensation ninth grade…”
Worried that Jiang Ningyi would continue to dislike Senior Brother Fang, potentially causing him harm, Xiao Qing proceeded to tell Jiang Ningyi everything that had just happened.
As Jiang Ningyi listened, her beautiful face gradually began to change.
After listening, Jiang Ningyi furrowed her brows and thought carefully for a moment before suddenly saying, “Wait, let me see all the cultivation techniques he gave you.”
“Here… Senior Sister, are you worried there might be a problem?”
Xiao Qing asked.
“Yes.”
Jiang Ningyi nodded slightly, but when she took the jade slip, she fell into deep shock.
It was actually real!
With her discerning eye, she could naturally tell this was one hundred percent an authentic jade slip from the Scripture Pavilion, with no fakeness about it!
Moreover, most crucially, what Fang Chen gave wasn’t a copy, but the original recording jade slip?!
One must know that within the cultivation technique jade slips of the Scripture Pavilion, the most precious thing isn’t the technique itself, but the cultivation recordings specially left behind by the Elders.
It’s like having the Elders personally guide your cultivation.
This was the fundamental reason why Scripture Pavilion jade slips were so expensive!
And now, Fang Chen didn’t even care about these recordings and just gave the jade slip directly to Xiao Qing?!
This was far too generous!
One must know that with just a tiny bit of comprehension talent, anyone could gain extremely rich insights from these recordings. Even Jiang Ningyi greatly needed them and wished she could cultivate alongside the Scripture Pavilion Elders every day.
And Fang Chen, having cultivated to Qi Condensation ninth grade, definitely needed them too!
Yet he still gave them to Xiao Qing.
How much reluctance must he have suppressed to give this to Xiao Qing?
And all of this was for the sake of ensuring Xiao Qing would definitely achieve comprehension success, quickly elevate his cultivation, and wash away past humiliation!
At this moment, Jiang Ningyi’s beautiful face completely transformed into one of astonishment. “How could he be like this?”
This was far too different from the rumors about Fang Chen?
When Xiao Qing was hesitant and fearful, Fang Chen would promptly wake him up with sharp words, causing a tremendous shift in his mindset!
When Xiao Qing was struggling with cultivation techniques, lacking resources, he would proactively take out valuable secret teachings for his junior brother to study!
When Xiao Qing wanted to call off the life-and-death duel, possibly facing a tarnished reputation, he was even willing to directly concede in the duel, becoming the first stepping stone for Xiao Qing’s rise.
Such considerations-how could they belong to some notorious second-generation profligate? They clearly belonged to a noble, upright gentleman, refined and noble as jade.
A man with a heart for his junior brothers, gentle and noble, willingly enduring the pretense of wickedness, bearing the burden of infamy! You are reading on g.com, the official source.
Looking at Jiang Ningyi’s shocked expression, Xiao Qing was very satisfied.
He thought, if he hadn’t said these words, given Senior Sister Jiang’s previous hatred for Senior Brother Fang, one day she might very well strike Senior Brother Fang down with one slash of her sword.
But now, Senior Sister Jiang probably wouldn’t dislike Senior Brother Fang anymore; they might even become quite good friends!
Thinking of this, Xiao Qing thought that Senior Brother Fang, who had been busy dealing with other matters just now, would probably thank him if he knew what he had done…
Xiao Qing had already thought of how he should respond to Senior Brother Fang’s gratitude…
Ah!
This is what I should do, Senior Brother, no need for excessive thanks!
“Where does Senior Brother Fang live?”
At this moment, Jiang Ningyi, after some thought, decided she couldn’t let Fang Chen bear this cost alone.
As a core disciple, she felt she should shoulder more responsibility than Senior Brother Fang!
“At the mountainside!”
“Alright!”
…
Fang Chen, sweating profusely, finally stopped at his courtyard and muttered to himself, “Finally escaped that calamity…”
Can’t give this damn system any chance to kill me!
However, after calming down, Fang Chen felt something wasn’t quite right and couldn’t help but call out to the system, “System, I only have one life now, but you’ve arranged two Sons of Providence. How am I supposed to die twice?”
Simultaneously bound to Jiang Ningyi and Xiao Qing, Fang Chen felt this was quite difficult to handle. Could he really crawl out of his grave to sever the emotional ties with Jiang Ningyi?
The system answered, “The Host’s task is ultimately to contribute to protecting all living beings and maintaining peace in the universe! If achieved, this will be the Host’s greatest success in this lifetime!”
“As long as the Host’s death can promote the growth of either Son of Providence, that is sufficient.”
“As for who the Host dies at the hands of, it is not important.”
Fang Chen: “…”
Fine.
Understood!
That basically means I can die at anyone’s hands!
“Damn it, stupid system!”
Fang Chen cursed a few times, then walked toward his dwelling.
At that moment.
“Ah! Be careful!”
A few screams suddenly came from behind, accompanied by an extremely dull impact sound:
“Thud!”
