Chapter 392 - 392 392 A Fox on the Mountain

Chapter 392: Chapter 392 A Fox on the Mountain Chapter 392: Chapter 392 A Fox on the Mountain Ugh—

Gu Huaxi showed a look of confusion.

She was just casually asking Jiang Fan.

Why was You Yunzi eager to answer?

Could it be that he was worried she would appreciate Jiang Fan’s interrogation skills and try to compete for him?

She chuckled and said: “Vice Pavilion Master You, if you like this boy, you can keep him.”

“I wouldn’t be so out of line as to snatch a good disciple when I see one.”

Silently, she added a few lines in her heart.

“I wouldn’t be that shortsighted to accept any disciple.”

“He only has some special interrogation skills, and I’ve never even heard of his name, which means he’s quite ordinary.”

“I wouldn’t bother taking such a disciple.”

Upon hearing this.

You Yunzi felt relieved.

Indeed, they were all vice pavilion masters.

No one would be shameless enough to snatch disciples.

“Please forgive me, Vice Pavilion Master Gu. Jiang Fan is a friend’s child, so I want to take care of him.”

You Yunzi said with a wry smile.

Gu Huaxi snorted.

So an appointed disciple is an appointed disciple, why find such a grandiose excuse?

They’re all foxes on the same mountain, and you’re telling me ghost stories?

“Now that this matter is settled, let’s return to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion as soon as possible.”

Gu Huaxi said.

Behind her, the Giant Sect Master Kong Yuanba became anxious.

From the reactions of both of them, the intelligence Jiang Fan extracted from the interrogation was extremely shocking.

If it’s crucial, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master might give a heavy reward.

Such a good thing benefitting a disciple of the Green Cloud Sect.

And it was that Jiang Fan who defeated his nephew, causing him to lose face!

“Vice Pavilion Master Gu, are we just letting this go?” Kong Yuanba asked.

Gu Huaxi gave him a cold glance and said: “What else would you suggest?”

“You saw me interrogate this demon just now.”

“Even if Jin Zhongming returns, I fear he would be helpless.”

“Jiang Fan obtained the intelligence through his own skills; no one can say anything.”

Having said this.

What else could Kong Yuanba do, even if he was reluctant?

This kid was infuriating, managing to cling onto You Yunzi.

Otherwise, he would have done something to secure this merit for his cherished disciple Jin Zhongming.

A group of people left the prison.

They were met by a panting disciple.

“Sect Master, Xue Wanchong is back.”

Kong Yuanba, who was somewhat irritated, finally felt a bit relieved and said:

“He has finally fulfilled his wish, with a chance to enhance his ancient giant bloodline.”

Gu Huaxi’s eyes shifted slightly, feeling a sense of regret.

In fact, she had once thought of appointing Xue Wanchong.

But his ancient giant bloodline didn’t have a good reputation historically.

With such concerns, she refrained from expressing her intent to accept him as a disciple.

Upon suddenly hearing that Xue Wanchong could enhance his ancient giant bloodline.

She couldn’t help but feel intrigued.

If he enhanced his bloodline, it might make his physique even stronger than Jin Zhongming’s.

“Reporting to Master, Senior Brother Xue is… injured.”

Reported the disciple cautiously.

Hmm?

Kong Yuanba’s expression hardened: “Injured? Quickly, take me to him!”

As the second-ranked disciple of the Giant Sect, he was also a precious gem to Kong Yuanba.

Gu Huaxi and You Yunzi exchanged glances.

This was an internal matter of the Giant Sect, not something they should interfere with.

Just as they were about to take their leave, Kong Yuanba said, “Vice Pavilion Masters, since you’re here, why not meet my disciple?”

“If you have any guidance on enhancing his bloodline, this sect master would be most grateful.”

Gu Huaxi couldn’t offer any guidance on bloodline enhancement but was very interested in the enhanced Xue Wanchong.

You Yunzi had also heard of the ancient giant bloodline.

Since it was a rare opportunity, seeing him could satisfy their curiosity.

“I shall take my leave.” Jiang Fan, being considerate, cupped his hands and bid farewell.

Even though Xue Wanchong’s poison injury had nothing to do with him.

But, understanding the Giant Sect as he did, they would likely blame it on him.

Better to avoid trouble.

“Hey, you should come with me too, to broaden your knowledge.” You Yunzi insisted, saying:

“The ancient giant bloodline has a storied history; missing this chance, you might not see it again.”

Jiang Fan was exasperated.

I’ve not only seen it, but I’ve also fought it.

But he couldn’t refuse You Yunzi’s kindness; besides, he figured the Giant Sect wouldn’t dare harm him with You Yunzi present.

So, he reluctantly agreed.

The group arrived at the Sect Master Hall.

Xue Wanchong stood there with his hands behind his back.

It had to be said.

His ancient giant bloodline granted enviable recovery abilities.

In just five days, his shocking poison injuries had almost completely healed.

The once severely burned skin now only had faint scorch marks.

The pair of hands once corroded to the bone by the seven-colored poison mist had also mostly recovered.

Only some skin still oozed blood.

“Master!” Xue Wanchong bowed his head in shame upon seeing Kong Yuanba.

Kong Yuanba rushed forward to check his injuries, and his voice turned cold: “Who did this?”

Clearly, he intended to exact severe revenge on the perpetrator.

Xue Wanchong wanted to vent his frustrations but had no one to blame for his poison injuries.

“It happened when I was retrieving the seven-colored mysterious ice, and I got caught off guard.”

Realizing he was to blame, the ferocity on Kong Yuanba’s face eased, though he still blamed:

“What was Lu Xiunian doing?”

“If anything happens to my disciple, I’ll hold him accountable.”

From the back of the crowd, Jiang Fan rolled his eyes.

Xue Wanchong wanted to go himself; he should bear the risk.

Blaming others for it was ridiculous.

The domineering nature of the Giant Sect was consistent from top to bottom.

“Where is the seven-colored mysterious ice? Let me and the vice pavilion masters have a look.”

Kong Yuanba had an expectant look.

Even he had never seen the seven-colored mysterious ice.

Xue Wanchong, ashamed, said: “I failed to retrieve the seven-colored mysterious ice!”

What?

Kong Yuanba looked surprised: “That’s impossible, with your ancient giant bloodline, entering regular poison mist should be as easy as taking something out of a bag.”

“How did you fail?”

Xue Wanchong defended: “I was careless.”

“In that poison mist, there was a powerful seven-colored poison toad and a cunning fog demon.”

“They placed liquefied seven-colored poison mist beneath the seven-colored mysterious ice.”

“When I was retrieving the mysterious ice, I got caught off guard.”

“Fortunately, I reacted quickly and escaped, barely saving my life.”

Seven-colored poison toad?

Kong Yuanba was slightly shocked: “It’s a ferocious beast!”

“Even ordinary elders would be extremely endangered; you returning alive shows you’re excellent.”

“Take your time to heal properly and prepare well. I will accompany you to personally retrieve the seven-colored mysterious ice.”

Gu Huaxi and You Yunzi were also slightly surprised.

Who would have thought that such a fearsome creature appears in the heartland of the human clan, the seven-colored mine?

This beast was beyond Xue Wanchong’s capabilities.

Coming back alive was already a stroke of fortune.

But.

Xue Wanchong looked unnatural and said: “There’s no need to go again.”

“The seven-colored mysterious ice… has already been taken.”

What?

That was the key to Xue Wanchong enhancing his bloodline!

Kong Yuanba was shocked: “Didn’t you say there was a seven-colored poison toad and a poison mist outbreak?”

“Who could have gone in?”

“Could it be, Xie Liushu from the Desires Sect?”

Within the Nine-Sect Territory, only two were skilled at handling poison.

It’s easy to guess.

Xue Wanchong clenched his fists and said unwillingly: “If it were Xie Liushu, I would accept it.”

“He’s the Chief of the Desires Sect; losing to him is not shameful!”

“But the one who took the seven-colored mysterious ice was a young disciple of the Green Cloud Sect!”

Green Cloud Sect again?

Kong Yuanba smirked in anger, were the Green Cloud Sect disciples addicted to stealing the Giant Sect disciples’ merits?

Why were they everywhere?

“Who is it?”

To their surprise.

Xue Wanchong gritted his teeth and said: “Who else?”

“It’s that annoying Jiang Fan!”

Eh?

Who?

Jiang Fan?

The three of them turned to look behind them, at the silent and seemingly obedient Jiang Fan.
