"Although Fang Han's current growth rate is not comparable to those who appeared in history, he is definitely a rare top genius..."
Chen Xuan's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a bit.
He closed the file with a solemn look on his face, and his previous indifference and laissez-faire thoughts had long been forgotten.
He looked at Deacon, who first came to report the conflict between Fang Han and Chu Feng, and his tone was decisive and unquestionable.
"Pass on my words, my Zi Courtyard disciple, as long as he abides by the sect rules, Zi Courtyard will always be his backing."
"Some people will never be allowed to use unfair means to suppress or exclude them, even if they are True Disciple disciples. If anyone dares to disobey, I will be the first to refuse!"
"Yes! Elder!"
When the two Deacon heard this, their hearts shivered and they quickly bowed and responded.
They understood that from this moment on, Fang Han's position in Chen Xuan Elder's heart was completely different.
Chu Feng True Disciple If he wants to suppress Fang Han, I'm afraid he has to consider whether it will attract the wrath of the chief Elder.
Chen Xuan looked outside the courtyard, his eyes seemed to penetrate through many houses, and he saw the building White Jade Plaza and the young disciple named Fang Han.
He whispered to himself, his eyes full of expectation.
"Boy, I have offended a True Disciple for you. I hope you will not disappoint me."
True Transmission Courtyard, Chu Feng residence.
Song Xiang stood with his hands down, and reported the story of Fang Han's refusal to come, and even moved out of the door rules to contradict him.
In particular, he emphasized the "arrogance" and "disrespect" in Fang Han's words.
"He... he also said that if Senior Brother True Disciple forcibly summons you without justifiable reasons, it would be the same as setting up a private court... He also said that if Senior Brother you have something to do, you can go find Law Enforcement Hall and said..."
Song Xiang secretly looked at Chu Feng's face, and his voice became lower and lower as he spoke.
Chu Feng sat upright on the sandalwood chair at the top, tapping the armrest with his knuckles unconsciously, making a dull clicking sound.
His face seemed calm, but his sharp eyes were filled with frost, and the low air pressure emanating from his body made the temperature in the room seem to drop a bit.
"Okay, very good."
Chu Feng's voice was not high-pitched, but it was filled with a biting coldness.
"A young disciple who just Beginner stage dares to be so presumptuous. It seems that I, Chu Feng, am usually too lenient and gentle, making people forget about their superiority and inferiority!"
Since Chu Feng was promoted to True Disciple, has he ever suffered such disobedience?
Even if many Deacon saw him, they still had to be polite.
In his eyes, Fang Han's actions were not only a rejection, but also a naked provocation to his authority.
"Senior brother."
Song Xiang said quickly.
"Then Fang Han is so ignorant of praise. If he is not punished, I'm afraid other disciples will follow suit in the future..."
Chu Feng snorted coldly, a stern look flashed in his eyes.
"Since he values the sect rules so much, then let's find some trouble for him within the limits allowed by the sect rules."
"Go to the Mission Hall to find Deacon Liang and ask him to take special care of Fang Han."
He deliberately emphasized the word "care", and Song Xiang immediately understood.
The so-called "care" is naturally to find ways to create difficulties within the rules, making it difficult for Fang Han to receive good tasks, and the speed of earning contribution points is greatly reduced, thus slowing down his cultivation progress.
"Yes, senior brother! I'll do it right away!"
Song Xiang bowed in response, turned around and left quickly.
Mission Hall Side Hall.
Song Xiang found Deacon Liang who was dealing with the ultimatum. After the screen faded away, he explained his purpose in a low voice.
Deacon Liang is about forty years old, with a lean face and a somewhat shrewd look in his eyes.
When he heard the meaning of Chu Feng conveyed by Song Xiang, he frowned slightly, twirled the short beard under his jaw with his fingers, and said in thought.
"I understand what Chu True Disciple means, but... if you deliberately target a disciple, you will be in trouble after all if you are found out. Then Fang Han has no foundation, right?"
"Deacon Liang is worrying too much. What kind of foundation can a young Lineage disciple have?"
"Senior brother Chu Feng is True Disciple, the future candidate Elder. Who would dig into trivial matters for an insignificant disciple?"
Song Xiang smiled.
Deacon Liang flashed a look of balance in his eyes.
Chu Feng is True Disciple, with a bright future, and there are many benefits of being friends with them.
And Fang Han, just like Song Xiang said, has no background, so if you suppress it, the risk seems to be small.
He was about to nod and agree.
At this moment, a man wearing Deacon clothing walked in. He was Wu Hao, one of Deacon's confidants around Chen Xuan Elder.
"Deacon Liang."
Wu Hao smiled and cupped his hands, his eyes sweeping over Song Xiang as if inadvertently.
Deacon Liang felt something in his heart and stood up to greet him.
"Wu Deacon, what kind of wind brings you here? But what are Elder Chen's orders?"
Wu Hao's face straightened, and his tone was calm but with an unquestionable meaning.
"It was on the orders of Elder Chen that I came to deliver the message. Elder said that as long as I, Zi Courtyard disciple, abide by the sect rules, Zi Courtyard will always be their backing."
"The sect has its own rules for rewards and punishments. No one is allowed to use unfair means to suppress or exclude talents in the academy. Even if the other party is a disciple of True Disciple, they are not allowed to cross the line. If there is any disobedience, Elder will be the first to not agree."
These words did not mention anyone by name, but when they were said at this moment, their direction could not be more obvious.
The smile on Deacon Liang's face froze instantly, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
He still doesn't understand. This is a clear warning from Chen Xuan Elder, to protect Fang Han!
Chu Feng is True Disciple who may become Elder in the future, but Chen Xuan is the current Elder who holds real power!
There is a huge gap in status and power between the two.
If Chen Xuan is offended, not to mention his future future, even Deacon's current position may not be guaranteed.
Song Xiang On the sidelines, his face turned pale as he listened, and he secretly screamed that something was not good.
He never expected that Chen Xuan Elder would intervene so directly for one Fang Han, even going so far as to confront senior brother Chu Feng.
Wu Hao After passing the message and chatting for a few more words, he said goodbye and left, as if he just came to deliver an ordinary announcement.
After Wu Hao left, Deacon Liang breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at Song Xiang with helpless and apologetic eyes.
"Senior Nephew Song, look at this...Elder Chen spoke in person. The fact is that... I can't help you. Please tell Chu True Disciple that unless Liang doesn't try his best, it's really... sigh!"
"Deacon Liang I'm serious. The situation has changed. Senior brother will definitely understand. I will go back and report it to senior brother."
Song Xiang knew that there was nothing he could do, so he had to force a smile.
Among True Transmission Courtyard, Chu Feng looked so gloomy that he could almost shed water after listening to Song Xiang's report.
The Teacup in his hand creaked when he squeezed it, and finally with a "pop" sound, several cracks appeared.
"Chen Xuan...!"
Chu Feng squeezed out these two words from between his teeth, anger boiling in his chest.
He did not expect that Chen Xuan would be so disrespectful and directly confront him for an ordinary disciple. This was tantamount to slapping him in the face in public.
Apart from being angry, a trace of doubt also came to mind.
Chen Xuan, as Elder, is so dedicated to protecting Fang Han that he even does not hesitate to have quarrels with himself, True Disciple. There must be something unusual about Fang Han.
Otherwise, why would Chen Xuan be like this?
"Go and carefully check the details of this Fang Han, especially what kind of performance Beginner stage has shown in the past few months to make Chen Xuan value him so much!"
Chu Feng suppressed his anger and ordered Song Xiang that he needed more accurate information to judge the situation.
Song Xiang accepted the order, did not dare to neglect, and immediately left to inquire.
About an hour later, Song Xiang left and came back again, with a residual look of shock on his face.
"Senior brother, I heard about it! That Fang Han... was tested on Zi Courtyard Martial Dao Stele early this morning, and the ranking soared from seventy-eighth to eighteenth in one breath."
"Moreover, he triggered 'Wind Momentum' when he attacked, and he has already trained a low-grade Sword Technique to the Perfection Realm!"
"The ranking will increase by 60 places at once?"
Chu Feng had a look of surprise in his eyes.
As True Disciple, he knows exactly what this means.
This kind of talent can be regarded as the best among any disciple, and it is enough to attract the attention of Elder in the academy.
"No wonder... no wonder Chen Xuan is like this..."
Chu Feng His fingers tapped lightly on the table, and the surprise in his eyes was gradually replaced by solemnity.
There is no doubt that Chen Xuan is interested in the potential of Fang Han and is optimistic about Fang Han's future achievements.
"Senior brother, then we..." Song Xiang asked cautiously.
Chu Feng was silent for a moment, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"Since Chen Xuan has made his attitude clear, if we try to touch him now, we will directly confront Chen Xuan, but..."
His tone changed with a hint of coldness.
"This matter must not stop here. There will be many opportunities later to let him know the consequences of offending me, Chu Feng!"
The talent shown by Fang Han really surprised him, but to be able to take the position of True Disciple, he is also a true genius who has won the competition from thousands of disciples. He does not think that his talent is weaker than Fang Han.
And if this matter is settled like this, where is his face as True Disciple?
"Yes, senior brother."
Song Xiang lowered his head and responded, but his heart was filled with fear, knowing that senior brother Chu Feng was really holding a grudge against Fang Han.
Zi Courtyard, secluded open space.
Fang Han has just finished a round of <Wind Splitting Sword Technique> practice. There is sweat on the forehead and a slight breath.
With sixteen times the blessing of Sword Art Talent, <Wind Splitting Sword Technique> has progressed much faster than before. The understanding of "Gathering Wind into a Blade" is deepening day by day, and the power of sword moves is steadily increasing.
He had a hunch that it wouldn't take too long to master this Sword Technique to Minor Accomplishment.
After adjusting his breath for a while, Fang Han began to practice <Startling Swan Step>.
"Whoosh, whoosh..."
His figure flashed and moved on Forest Clearing, his steps were agile, and he brought up afterimages.
The Greater Accomplishment-level <Startling Swan Step> is already quite fiery, and its linear speed and dexterity in direction changes are far beyond those before.
However, just like <Gentle Wind Sword Art> after reaching Greater Accomplishment, after <Startling Swan Step> entered Mastery Realm, the difficulty of cultivation suddenly increased dramatically.
Every little bit of progress requires a lot of effort to figure out and try.
Even with eight times the increase of Footwork Talent, cultivation has become quite slow and obscure.
"At this rate, it will take at least several months of hard work to reach Perfection Realm."
Fang Han thought to himself.
"Unless Footwork Talent can be increased to sixteen times, the money I have now is far from enough."
To activate Footwork Talent's fourth-level increase, it would take ten thousand taels of silver to increase the increase multiple to sixteen times. Adding up the silver taels he possesses and his contribution points, there is still a gap of several thousand taels from this number.
