Chapter 297: State Guardian!
Qin Fang asked the questions that concerned him most.
Yin Jian reassured him, "Don't rush. Take your time."
After soothing Qin Fang, he sighed softly and told him—
—his martial uncle had failed to break through.
Qin Fang was startled. "How could that happen?"
"Breaking through takes more than accumulated cultivation. It also takes a little luck—my senior brother, the sect master—was just a little short on luck."
??????5?? 5??.??????
Yin Jian sighed helplessly.
"Then my martial uncle—" Qin Fang sounded worried.
"Don't worry. Although he failed, he suffered no irreversible injuries. More than two years have passed now, and he's almost recovered," Yin Jian said.
Only then did Qin Fang breathe a sigh of relief.
"Everyone else, including your master, is doing well—you needn't worry."
Yin Jian added.
Qin Fang breathed another sigh of relief.
Only then did Yin Jian mention when the upheaval had occurred—five months ago.
Qin Fang's heart jolted. Five months had already passed?
—That meant he had been unconscious on Old Ox Ridge for that long?
"This upheaval—was it the Three Teachings?"
Qin Fang asked quietly.
Yin Jian nodded, his expression grim. "From what we can tell, it must have been the Three Teachings."
"Then what comes next—"
Yin Jian sighed softly and shook his head. "I'm not entirely sure what we should do next, either. Ask your master and the others once you get back."
Qin Fang fell silent, then finally nodded lightly.
After exchanging a few more words with his martial uncle Yin Jian, Qin Fang rose, preparing to return to the sect grounds.
"Senior brother."
"Senior Brother Qin."
Only after the two finished speaking did the other Inner Sect disciples dare bow respectfully to Qin Fang and greet him.
Qin Fang came back to himself
