Chapter 367 - 367 367 Impressive

Chapter 367: Chapter 367 Impressive Chapter 367: Chapter 367 Impressive *Hmm?*

Lin Yuheng followed the voice and found it was Medicine Peak Master Wen Hongyao.

He couldn’t help but question, “Elder Wen, why would you say such a thing?”

One was a Great Elder of the Supreme Sect, the other a new disciple of the Green Cloud Sect.

The two had no relationship whatsoever.

How could they possibly be master and disciple?

Liu Wuchen said sternly, “Elder Wen, I know you wish to protect Jiang Fan, but such matters can’t be fabricated.”

Several other elders muttered amongst themselves.

It was well known that Wen Hongyao cared deeply for Jiang Fan.

When Jiang Fan first joined the sect, Wen Hongyao even argued with Zhao Wuji over him.

But to shield Jiang Fan, saying such blatant lies was too much.

Wen Hongyao looked at Jiang Fan, his gaze filled with a trace of envy, but even more with undisguised admiration:

“This matter, I originally didn’t plan to reveal.”

“To avoid startling the Sect Master and fellow elders and disrupting Jiang Fan’s daily life.”

“Now that Jiang Fan is facing trouble, I have no choice but to provide evidence.”

“Shangguan Sheng indeed acknowledged Jiang Fan as his junior disciple.”

“I was there at the scene.”

He paused briefly.

Then added, “As for the reasons, it involves certain inheritances. You may inquire Shangguan Sheng directly.”

“Don’t press Jiang Fan further.”

“Ultimately, this only benefits our Green Cloud Sect.”

Seeing how confident his words were.

Liu Wuchen’s pupils seemed to tremble violently as he stared at Jiang Fan with disbelief.

*His own disciple was actually the junior brother of the Nine-Sect’s foremost Divine Doctor?*

He opened his mouth, intending to probe further.

But recalling Wen Hongyao’s words, he restrained himself.

For Shangguan Sheng to recognize Jiang Fan as his junior brother, the matter must carry extraordinary significance.

To question it publicly might not be in Jiang Fan’s best interest.

After a moment’s thought, he said gravely, “Let today’s events remain known only to those present.”

“There’s no need to be curious about the reasons.”

Curiosity was human nature.

Especially about such a bizarre revelation.

Yet Liu Wuchen’s single sentence left several elders itching with curiosity but visibly frustrated.

Ruan Qingsu’s beautiful eyes widened in disbelief:

“It’s actually true!”

“This guy, no wonder he mentioned exchanges about the Medical Path with the Supreme Sect disciples.”

“Turns out, he’s indeed a healer.”

Thinking of his ruthless actions yesterday, she couldn’t help but spit, “Then he’s also a life-taking healer!”

Lin Yuheng looked utterly stunned.

As if re-evaluating Jiang Fan, he sized him up: “I underestimated you.”

At first, he thought Jiang Fan was just an ordinary new disciple.

Who would have guessed he carried the prestigious title of Shangguan Sheng’s junior disciple?

“By that logic, calling Yan Yuqing ‘Junior Niece’ is perfectly reasonable.”

“There’s nothing inappropriate about it.”

Lin Yuheng immediately furrowed his brow.

If it wasn’t a slip of the tongue, then how had Jiang Fan offended the Supreme Sect Master?

Suddenly, he remembered Jiang Fan’s latter comment about teaching a lesson to someone who had bullied Yan Yuqing.

He asked, “Who did you reprimand?”

Jiang Fan recalled, “It was a female disciple named Jiang Qin, who spoke venomously.”

“Relying on Shangguan Sheng’s disinterest in getting involved in disciple disputes, she often bullied Yan Yuqing.”

“So I stepped in to give her a little lesson.”

Lin Yuheng asked again, “Her cultivation level wasn’t much, was it?”

Anyone who could be reprimanded by a mere junior disciple wouldn’t have a high cultivation level.

Probably at the Third or Fourth Layer of Foundation Establishment.

Would the Supreme Sect Master really bother to retaliate for someone of that caliber?

That seemed absurdly trivial.

Jiang Fan nodded: “Indeed, not very remarkable.”

“Probably at the Eighth Layer of Foundation Establishment.”

*Hmm?*

Lin Yuheng’s brows shot up: “What? Eighth Layer of Foundation Establishment?”

“You managed to teach her a lesson?”

He was thoroughly baffled.

But glancing around, the Green Cloud Sect members all appeared calm, showing no shock whatsoever.

Liu Wuchen chuckled with pride: “Commissioner Lin, don’t underestimate him.”

“Though just an entry-level disciple, and lacking a Spirit Root, his achievements in Body Technique are outstanding.”

“Previously, he even triumphed over an Eighth Layer Foundation Establishment cultivator during a disciple ranking competition.”

*Ah?*

Lin Yuheng was visibly astonished, repeatedly sizing up Jiang Fan:

“Well done, kid—you’re deeper than you let on!”

“I thought you were new to the sect with no particular capabilities.”

“Turns out, you’re an exceptional Body Refinement talent.”

He didn’t know whether to laugh or to get annoyed.

Despite being a junior, Jiang Fan continuously compelled him to reassess his perspective.

Ruan Qingsu, standing nearby, widened her eyes in shock:

“You’ve also trained in Body Techniques?”

“I didn’t die at your hands last night—my ancestors must’ve been watching over me.”

She originally thought Jiang Fan had played all his cards the previous night.

This inquiry revealed he still had a hidden mastery of Body Technique!

Lin Yuheng pondered for a while before speaking: “An Eighth Layer Foundation Establishment female disciple shouldn’t be enough to anger the Supreme Sect Master.”

“What else did you do afterward?”

Everyone turned their eyes toward him.

Simply helping Shangguan Sheng’s disciple teach a lesson wouldn’t amount to anything significant.

The Supreme Sect Master going so far as to file a complaint must surely involve another matter.

Jiang Fan thought for a moment and said:

“After that, I followed Yan Yuqing and coincidentally came across the Supreme Sect disciple competition.”

“By chance, I ended up sparring with several Supreme Sect disciples.”

“The matches were friendly, without any injuries or fatalities.”

“Afterward, I received some Spiritual Medicine and left the Supreme Sect.”

“That was the end of it.”

Tao Zhengjun muttered:

“Could it be that Junior Brother Jiang’s presence as an outsider disrupted the Supreme Sect’s disciple competition, and the Supreme Sect Master found it disrespectful?”

Liu Wuchen shook his head slightly:

“The Supreme Sect disciple competition usually includes a segment inviting guests from Outer Sects for friendly sparring.”

“That’s their long-standing tradition.”

“Jiang Fan’s participation wasn’t an issue, and sparring is perfectly acceptable.”

Several elders couldn’t make sense of it either.

It all sounded quite normal!

They couldn’t figure out how Jiang Fan had angered the Supreme Sect Master.

Lin Yuheng rubbed his temples: “After all this questioning, we’re still completely in the dark.”

“The complaint from the Supreme Sect Master is vague and fails to explain the reasons clearly.”

“It’s downright frustrating.”

Ruan Qingsu, who was standing quietly to the side.

Glanced at Jiang Fan, seemingly having an inkling of an idea, and said:

“Master, you might as well ask him who he sparred with and what the outcomes were.”

Lin Yuheng shot her a sideways glance.

Formal Martial Path sparring—what could possibly be wrong with that?

Besides, Jiang Fan was only at an Eighth Layer Foundation Establishment physique.

Could he have defeated the Supreme Sect disciples so soundly that he caused the Supreme Sect Master to lose face?…

That thought froze him in place.

His eyes fixed on Jiang Fan as if scrutinizing him, and he asked suspiciously: “Who exactly did you spar with in the Supreme Sect?”

Jiang Fan recalled: “First was a female disciple named Luo Tianjiao.”

“She was at the Seventh Layer of Foundation Establishment; I defeated her.”

Liu Wuchen displayed a hint of pride.

“Luo Tianjiao is a new disciple of Green Bamboo Peak at the Supreme Sect, reputed to be their most talented in a decade.”

“I didn’t expect my disciple to give her such a resounding defeat right off the bat.”

Wen Hongyao also smiled:

“Kid, you’ve brought glory to our Green Cloud Sect.”

“But you were fortunate not to face Green Bamboo Peak’s lead disciple, Wang Yunge.”

“That one’s a tough opponent.”

“If you had encountered him, you’d definitely have suffered a beating.”

Unexpectedly.

Jiang Fan thought for a moment: “Wang Yunge? I sparred with him too.”

“I defeated him as well.”
