Chapter 341: Chapter 341 Stingy
Xu Qingyang showed a look of surprise, “Which sect’s disciple is this incredible?”
The disciples who came to the Sword Forest for advanced training were all around the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment from various sects.
But the Demon Emperor’s daughter was far beyond this level.
Even if an elder at the fifth level of Core Formation came personally, it was uncertain if they could capture her.
The Myriad Swords Sect Master somewhat reluctantly pointed at Jiang Fan, “It’s this disciple.”
He felt extremely regretful.
If only the one who achieved this merit was Ling Guihai.
What a rare opportunity it would be to show off in front of Xu Qingyang.
Xu Qingyang looked in the direction he pointed, his eyes paused, then he laughed wryly.
Zhou Qidan also looked over curiously.
Upon seeing, she exclaimed, “Why is it you kid?”
Supreme Elder Sun was also present, somewhat surprised by the reactions of the two supreme elders, then suddenly realized, “This kid is…”
He quickly swallowed the words “the one who exchanged the Leng Gu demon core.”
It was better not to publicize this matter.
The great elders present were thoroughly moved.
How come the supreme elders of the Myriad Swords Sect actually knew this boy?
The Myriad Swords Sect Master was also stunned, “Do you three supreme elders know him?”
Xu Qingyang smiled without answering, “Not only do we know him.”
“Isn’t that right, little friend?”
Jiang Fan also looked at Xu Qingyang in astonishment.
It took him a moment to realize, smiling bitterly, “Senior Xu, you hid it from me quite well.”
It turned out that the old man in front of him was the famous Great Supreme Elder of the Myriad Swords Sect, Xu Qingyang.
All the way along, he had always regarded him as an elder of some sect.
Xu Qingyang chuckled, “You’re not bad either, old man was completely kept in the dark by you.”
“I thought you were just an ordinary divine doctor.”
“Didn’t expect you to hide such great ability.”
Not to mention having collected so many great demon cores.
Even the Demon Emperor’s daughter fell into his hands.
Xu Qingyang prided himself on being a good judge of character.
But unexpectedly, he misjudged this time.
Jiang Fan said awkwardly, “Senior overpraises, it was just luck to capture that demoness.”
Xu Qingyang laughed heartily, pointing at him, “Supreme Elder Zhou, look at this sect’s disciple.”
“And then look at the ones in our sect.”
Zhou Qidan wholeheartedly agreed, saying, “Kid, enough with the modesty.”
“That demoness dared to single-handedly trap the prodigies and elites of the Nine Sect.”
“She naturally possessed the strength to annihilate you all by herself.”
“How could it be mere luck to capture her?”
She glanced at Ling Guihai and a few disciples of the Myriad Swords Sect, sighing with envy:
“If someone else had such skills, they’d plaster it on their forehead for the world to see.”
“But you didn’t even let people know your appearance or name.”
The great elders present showed complex expressions.
What Zhou Qidan said about the disciples of the Myriad Swords Sect also applied to the prodigies in their sects.
Each displayed their full potential without restraint.
Desperate to make a name and be known by the world.
Completely ignorant of the concept that a prominent tree is the first to be blown down by the wind.
Jiang Fan was helpless, “Supreme Elder Zhou, please don’t overly praise this junior.”
He somewhat regretted not leaving earlier.
Xu Qingyang patted his shoulder, full of praise:
“No matter what, you saved the disciples of the Nine Sect, and indirectly saved the Myriad Swords Sect.”
“What reward do you desire?”
Jiang Fan hurriedly said, “Thanks to Senior Xu’s care, your esteemed sect’s master has already rewarded me.”
The Myriad Swords Sect Master secretly wiped away a cold sweat.
This boy actually knew the supreme elders and had a good relationship with them?
Fortunately, he stopped in time and did not make things difficult for him.
Or it would have been troublesome.
He cupped his hands with a smile, “Supreme Elder Xu, as he said, I have already bestowed upon his female companion a secret swordsmanship of our sect.”
Xu Qingyang followed his gaze and saw Xu Yining.
Only then did he remember how Jiang Fan had taken special care of her along the way.
Presumably, they had a deep relationship.
He nodded slowly, asking, “Which Sword Scripture?”
The Myriad Swords Sect Master replied without hesitation, “It’s the mid-level profound sword technique, ‘Jade Maiden True Scripture,’ most suitable for such female disciples to cultivate.”
He had thought it through thoroughly before bestowing this technique.
Just enough to match Jiang Fan’s merits and suitable for a girl to practice.
Anyone would find it impeccable.
As soon as Xu Qingyang heard this, he raised his eyebrows, “Only mid-level profound?”
“Give her the ‘Illusion Destruction Sword Scripture.'”
Not to mention the Myriad Swords Sect Master was shocked.
Even the outer sect’s great elders were taken aback.
The famous ‘Illusion Destruction Sword Scripture’ was one of the Myriad Swords Sect’s top-tier lower Earth-level sword techniques.
Only the supreme elders, sect master, and great elders could cultivate it.
Other elders didn’t even have the right to read it.
How could it be bestowed to a girl from the Green Cloud Sect?
Xu Yining’s delicate body trembled, and she hurriedly bowed, saying, “Senior Xu, please take back the order.”
“This Sword Scripture, this junior dares not covet.”
The Earth-level techniques of the Myriad Swords Sect, how could she be fit to cultivate it?
The Myriad Swords Sect Master also anxiously said, “Supreme Elder Xu, this must not be!”
“The sect’s elders will have objections.”
Giving an Earth-level sword technique to an outsider, what kind of joke was that?
Zhou Qidan’s gaze remained calm, saying indifferently, “Any elder with objections can come to me.”
Even the mid-level Earth ‘Nine Poison True Scripture’ was given away.
Why care about one lower Earth-level ‘Illusion Destruction Sword Scripture’?
Supreme Elder Sun glanced at Jiang Fan, then also said, “Follow Supreme Elder Xu’s instructions.”
He understood Xu Qingyang’s intention.
To repay Jiang Fan’s life-saving grace onto this girl.
If not for Jiang Fan, the Myriad Swords Sect would have lost a top-tier combatant.
Such a loss, even ten ‘Illusion Destruction Sword Scriptures’ could not make up for it.
Rewarding her this technique was not excessive.
The Myriad Swords Sect Master was stunned.
He naturally understood this went far beyond simple rewards.
It was Xu Qingyang taking special care of Xu Yining for Jiang Fan’s sake.
Who was this masked disciple to deserve such favor from the three supreme elders?
Unwilling but helplessly, he reluctantly took out a perfectly sealed jade scroll and handed it to Xu Yining.
Reiterating again and again, “Remember, only you can practice it.”
“Absolutely must not be passed on!”
Xu Yining, overwhelmed by favor, dared not accept.
She looked at Jiang Fan with a face full of helplessness.
“Supreme Elder Xu’s goodwill, you better accept it,” Jiang Fan said gently.
Only then did Xu Yining tremblingly accept the jade scroll, holding it tightly in her hands, afraid it might fall and break.
Seeing her accept it.
Xu Qingyang felt genuinely gratified, “Little friend, we shall meet again.”
“I hope to see you shine on the Beast Tide battlefield.”
Jiang Fan hurriedly cupped his hands, “Respectfully seeing off Senior Xu, Senior Zhou, and Senior Sun.”
Xu Qingyang nodded, led the supreme elders, and disappeared into fleeting shadows.
Leaving behind a crowd full of sighs.
The great elders from various sects looked at Jiang Fan with a hint of reverence in their eyes.
They all wanted to know.
The true face behind the mask.
Even more, they wanted to know which sect cultivated such an incredible disciple.
Jiang Fan dared not stay any longer.
He cupped his hands towards Xu Yining, “Junior Sister Xu, we part ways here.”
Immersed in the shock of the Earth-level technique, Xu Yining suddenly came to her senses.
Her beautiful face instantly showed a bit of paleness.
The heart that was just filled with excitement quickly turned empty, an indescribable sense of loss.
Although she had long anticipated that they would separate after the Sword Forest.
But she still found it too sudden, too sudden.
“Then where…are you going?”
Xu Yining was silent for a while, finally asking in a trembling voice.
She did not ask him to stay.
Both had their own paths, destined to part.
A purple shadow flashed in Jiang Fan’s mind as he said, “I plan to visit the Giant Sect.”
“Junior Sister Xu, we shall meet again if fate allows.”
Xu Yining waved her hand, forcing a smile, “Farewell.”
Jiang Fan nodded, turning to leave.
He walked far, suddenly hearing Xu Yining’s faint voice.
Turning back, the silhouette was already gone.
Only faintly, came a cry tinged with sobs:
Jiang Fan’s face showed a hint of melancholy.
A moment later, he tapped his toes and turned into a streak of light, leaving.
Only a long sigh remained.
