Chapter 357 - 357 357 Three Women Compete

Chapter 357: Chapter 357: Three Women Compete Chapter 357: Chapter 357: Three Women Compete Present were the Five Peaks.

The other four peaks were all there; only Reincarnation Peak was absent.

Why?

Jiang Fan stopped in his tracks and calmly replied, “Reporting to the Great Elder,”

“This disciple indeed does not intend to give to Reincarnation Peak, I hope the Great Elder understands.”

This straightforward and unreserved answer made Feng Guchan’s old eyes narrow:

“Jiang Fan, are you disregarding Reincarnation Peak?”

Unable to get what he wanted, he now resorted to threats.

Jiang Fan was unfazed, his expression as calm as ever: “The Great Elder must be joking.”

“I am merely a disciple, how dare I disregard Reincarnation Peak?”

“It’s just that the Great Elder seems to have quite an opinion of this disciple.”

“Since I cannot afford to offend, I should at least be able to avoid.”

“Therefore, this disciple does not wish to have much interaction with Reincarnation Peak, I hope the Great Elder understands.”

Is this a joke?

The Great Elder just now was mocking Jiang Fan sarcastically, and helping outsiders denounce him for cheating?

And now he wants benefits?

Dream on!

Wen Hongyao, always quick-tempered, directly spat out:

“Feng Guchan, can you have some decency?”

“Not blaming you for backstabbing earlier is already lenient, yet now you threaten disciples for benefits?”

Even the usually neutral Li Qingfeng couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Great Elder, how you and the Sect Master battle internally is the sect’s own business.”

“But assisting outsiders, suppressing your own people, disregarding the sect’s honor, that’s going too far.”

“And now you demand Jiang Fan’s Dragon Pattern Vine Spiritual Liquid? Even if he gave it, I would advise him not to.”

Zhao Wuji also couldn’t hold back and said, “Great Elder, everything has its limit.”

“Jiang Fan hasn’t complained to the Supreme Elders yet, you should be grateful!”

“And still, you shamelessly ask for his resources?”

Liu Wuchen felt gratified.

In the past, when he conflicted with the Great Elder, other elders would remain neutral to avoid trouble.

Now, three elders were fully supporting him.

It made him secretly excited.

Of course, he understood that the reason the three elders changed their stance was due to their value for Jiang Fan.

Thinking of this, he found Jiang Fan increasingly pleasing to the eye.

Jiang Fan was truly his lucky star!

Facing Feng Guchan, he felt more calm and composed than ever before.

“Great Elder, did you hear that?”

“How my disciple wants to handle the Dragon Pattern Vine Spiritual Liquid is his freedom.”

“You better stay out of it.”

Feng Guchan’s face changed.

Secretly shocked at the stance change of the three elders.

What was going on?

Just because he targeted Jiang Fan, the three elders now sided with Liu Wuchen?

He found it hard to believe.

Was Jiang Fan that important?

If he knew Jiang Fan had won the favor of several Supreme Elders, he wouldn’t be so puzzled.

Seeing how the people present protected Jiang Fan, Feng Guchan knew he couldn’t get the Dragon Pattern Vine Spiritual Liquid.

He became visibly angry out of shame.

“Boy, you probably don’t know, but a Special Commissioner from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion has arrived at our Green Cloud Sect,”

“Intending to question you at any time!”

“I originally planned to put in a good word for you, but now it seems that’s unnecessary.”

Jiang Fan was surprised.

A Special Commissioner from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, to question me?

Why would they bother to come all the way to the Green Cloud Sect?

And specifically to question me?

He quickly recalled his recent experiences, finding nothing he did that warranted the intervention of the Nine-Sect or violated the iron laws of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

Shaking his head, he decided not to overthink it.

He had a clear conscience and was unafraid of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’s questioning.

Bowing to Feng Guchan, he straightforwardly said, “Thank you, Great Elder, for the information.”

“As for the Great Elder putting in a good word for this disciple, this disciple does not dare to wish for it.”

“I would be happy enough if you didn’t kick me while I’m down.”

Upon hearing this,

Wen Hongyao couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“Does Feng Guchan take Jiang Fan for a fool, having the face to say such things?”

Li Qingfeng and Zhao Wuji also looked utterly speechless.

Feng Guchan really had no shame left.

How could he say he planned to speak well of Jiang Fan when even he wouldn’t believe that himself?

As Jiang Fan said, Feng Guchan not adding insult to injury would be a miracle.

Unable to threat Jiang Fan and being ridiculed in turn,

Feng Guchan became even more infuriated, stood up with a snort, “Fine! Fine!”

“Let’s see if you can still laugh when the Special Commissioner arrives!”

Watching him leave angrily.

Jiang Fan then looked with puzzlement at Liu Wuchen: “Master, is this true?”

Liu Wuchen’s expression also grew serious as he asked, “Have you committed any offenses at the Supreme Sect?”

“If so, speak up.”

“Master and the elders will think of a way to sort it out for you.”

Huh?

A big question mark appeared over Jiang Fan’s head.

“The Supreme Sect?”

Elsewhere, he might have some debatable wrongdoings.

Like seeing the Spirit Beast Sect Master’s undergarment.

Or being wanted by the Desires Sect Master.

Or sheltering the Black Mirror Evil Spirit.

But at the Supreme Sect, he did nothing.

“Master, this disciple only stayed half a day at the Supreme Sect.”

“During that time, I discussed some medical knowledge with their disciples, sparred a bit in martial arts, then went to the Spirit Beast Sect after receiving the spiritual medicine for my task.”

“I had no conflicts with anyone in the sect.”

Liu Wuchen and the three elders listened, showing puzzled expressions.

“Are you sure there’s nothing you’ve missed?” Liu Wuchen frowned and said, “The Supreme Sect Master wrote a complaint letter to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion about you.”

“The content of which deals with you directly.”

What?

Jiang Fan was dumbfounded: “The Supreme Sect Master? Related to me?”

“But this disciple did nothing wrong and only saw the Supreme Sect Master from a distance.”

“We had no interactions.”

This…

Liu Wuchen was momentarily baffled too.

Could the Supreme Sect Master have reported him without any reason?

But Jiang Fan’s expression didn’t look like he was lying.

Wen Hongyao was also extremely puzzled: “Just discussing medical knowledge and sparring in martial arts, these are very normal activities among disciples.”

“Having no interaction with the Supreme Sect Master, let alone offending them.”

“This is strange, why would the Supreme Sect Master report to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion?”

Zhao Wuji, gazing at Jiang Fan, pondered:

“I believe Jiang Fan isn’t lying, this must be some kind of misunderstanding.”

“Without knowing the content of the complaint, speculating here is pointless.”

“We should wait for the Commissioner from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, and confront him face-to-face.”

“As long as Jiang Fan has a clear conscience, we have nothing to worry about.”

The Special Commissioner and his entourage from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion had already arrived at the Green Cloud Sect.

They just hadn’t waited for Jiang Fan long enough and went into seclusion.

Now, they could only notify him first.

And await his arrangements.

Liu Wuchen nodded slightly: “That’s all we can do.”

“Jiang Fan, stay in the sect for the next few days, don’t go anywhere.”

“The Commissioner might summon you at any time.”

Jiang Fan nodded: “Yes, Master.”

The group soon dispersed.

Jiang Fan followed the three elders out of the Sect Master Hall.

He was pondering whether to return to his cave abode first.

The disciple from Heavenly Sword Peak, Nie Yunxi, had already been anxiously waiting outside the hall.

Seeing Li Qingfeng come out, she hurried forward and said, “Master, there’s trouble.”

“Xu Yining, Xu Youran, and Chen Silin are fighting.”

“You’d better go check it out.”

Li Qingfeng felt a headache coming on:

“That Xu Yining! How can she cause trouble as soon as she’s back?”

Jiang Fan showed a hint of joy: “Youran and Silin are back too?”

That’s great!

Li Qingfeng paused.

He couldn’t help but slap his forehead.

Why was he getting a headache?

The one who should really be troubled was Jiang Fan!
