Chapter 39

Chapter 39: In this life, let’s see how you cause trouble!

“Law Enforcement Elder, if you have no evidence to prove that Holy Son Xiao Yang was practicing some unorthodox technique on his own, then zip it!”

“And you, Holy Son, creating your own martial arts? Wow, so impressive!”

Sect Leader Jiang Qitian was furious.

One was the Law Enforcement Elder of the sect, while the other was the Sect Holy Son; they were bickering right in front of everyone during the sect competition, making quite the spectacle.

The Law Enforcement Elder held a high position, that was a given.

And the Sect Holy Son was the next candidate for Sect Leader, a real face of the sect.

To have these two squabbling in public was a serious loss of dignity!

“Sect Leader, this—”

The Law Enforcement Elder wanted to continue.

“If you have evidence, then present it. Don’t just run your mouth,” Jiang Qitian interrupted directly.

“Uh…”

The Law Enforcement Elder was momentarily stunned; he really couldn’t find any source for the unorthodox technique that Xiao Yang had passed to Lin Wangchuan.

After all, it was the first time he had seen this type of technique today.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yang remained utterly calm.

Because this technique hadn’t even been created by Lin Wangchuan at the time of his previous life; if the Law Enforcement Elder could find its origins, that would truly be bizarre.

He realized that he couldn’t pin down Xiao Yang today.

With a huff, he returned to his seat.

Xiao Yang didn’t care in the slightest; he knew he had long since offended the Law Enforcement Elder.

But so what?

He was going to leave the Qingyang Sword Sect anyway.

Even Sect Leader Jiang Qitian didn’t faze him; what could the Law Enforcement Elder do?

“No evidence, yet you talk so much. What kind of Law Enforcement Elder are you?”

Still on the Sword Comparison Platform, Lin Wangchuan had his hands on his hips, shouting angrily at the Law Enforcement Elder.

“…”

Everyone gasped in shock.

Lin Wangchuan really was fearless; he dared to say such shocking words right in front of the Law Enforcement Elder and everyone else.

Should we say he was naive or just plain dumb?

He had really managed to offend the Law Enforcement Elder to the core!

“Disciple, hush!”

Elder Gu Feng was equally startled and hurriedly scolded him.

“Brother Lei, my disciple has a loose tongue; please don’t take it to heart,” Elder Gu Feng awkwardly said to Law Enforcement Elder Lei Lie.

Hearing this, the Law Enforcement Elder twitched his mouth a few times but ultimately said nothing.

He was the Law Enforcement Elder, after all, responsible for the sect’s rules, his position too high to stoop to bickering with a fool.

Though he was fuming, he had to maintain his dignity; it was infuriating enough to make him want to spit blood.

At that moment, Lei Renjie had picked himself up, his face still marked by Lin Wangchuan’s shoe print.

He was utterly embarrassed and kept his head down, not daring to look at his mentor, Law Enforcement Elder Lei Lie, as he quietly walked off the platform.

Having lost once already, he couldn’t afford another loss; otherwise, he’d be directly eliminated and wouldn’t qualify for a better ranking.

The Qingyang Sword Sect’s competition was rather straightforward, with no complex brackets to deal with.

The motto was simple: “Strength is paramount.”

Any disciple who could win two matches in a row on the platform would directly advance to the next round.

As for those who couldn’t manage that, they’d have to keep battling it out.

If someone won one match, lost another, and then won another, they had to keep fighting until they faced the other disciples.

There were dedicated disciples recording each competitor’s performance in the competition to ensure every Inner Disciple had a chance to shine in front of the Sect Leader and the five Elders.

The sect competition also had a challenge phase.

This was a chance for eliminated disciples to make a comeback, essentially a “revival match.”

If someone was confident in their strength, they could directly challenge everyone, just like Qin Fei did before.

Xiao Yang still clearly remembered that in the last life, after Qin Fei defeated him, he immediately challenged everyone.

He recalled Qin Fei standing on the Sword Comparison Platform, brimming with pride and arrogance.

But in this life, Qin Fei was no longer the same showy figure from the previous competition.

Though he hadn’t made a direct move this time, the All Beast Sword Technique that Lin Wangchuan used to defeat Qin Fei was still his teaching.

With Lin Wangchuan kicking Qin Fei’s jewels, that counted as indirect revenge for him.

The sect competition went on, and all disciples had a chance to enter the platform.

All Inner Disciples, whether they were regular disciples or core disciples, as well as those taught directly by Elders, could display their skills on the platform.

Win or lose, joy or sorrow, everyone had a shot at glory.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yang was lost in memories of his past life.

After the sect competition, they should be descending the mountain soon.

In the previous life, they didn’t fly directly with their swords to the site of the Jiazi Grand Competition.

The venue for the Jiazi Grand Competition was the North’s top Immortal Martial Sacred Ground, Yuanwu Immortal Domain.

Whoever claimed first place in the Jiazi Grand Competition would gain the right to oversee the Yuanwu Immortal Domain and become the number one sect in the North.

In his last life, they had descended the mountain half a month early, honing their skills on the way to Yuanwu Immortal Domain.

Along the route to Yuanwu Immortal Domain, Qin Fei had stirred up some trouble.

He had suffered greatly at Qin Fei’s hands and was left with the reputation of abandoning his comrades, which led to everyone isolating him.

Qin Fei, oh Qin Fei, in this new life, you won’t even qualify to participate in the Jiazi Grand Competition. Let’s see how you cause trouble this time!

…

At noon, during the break.

The Qingyang Sword Sect disciples gathered in the square gradually dispersed.

Xiao Yang ignored Sect Leader Jiang Qitian and the other Elders, heading straight back to his Saint Son’s Residence.

Soon, Lin Wangchuan and their third junior brother, Song Qiang, came over.

“Holy Son Big Brother, you really are impressive! I thought that Qin Fei was something special for hurting my Xiao Bai. Turns out he’s just a decorative pillow, pretty but useless!”

Lin Wangchuan was overjoyed.

Xiao Bai, who had been playing with Xiao Yang, hopped onto Lin Wangchuan’s shoulder upon seeing him.

“Haha, Xiao Bai, did you miss me?”

Lin Wangchuan laughed while teasing Xiao Bai.

Xiao Yang offered a spirit fruit for Xiao Bai to munch on.

This purple-eyed spirit monkey would become a great demon monkey later on; building a good relationship now would surely pay off in the future.

Seeing the spirit fruit, Xiao Bai happily squeaked.

“Big Brother, you’re… a bit extravagant!”

Third Junior Brother Song Qiang was surprised to see the spirit fruit Xiao Yang had taken out. It was a red gem-like Bodhi spirit fruit, the Chi Xue Ling Ti.

Such fruits were extremely rare, with only a few plants in the Spirit Herb Valley, and they produced very little.

The large cluster of Chi Xue Ling Ti Xiao Yang had was impressive, with dozens of them the size of thumbs—this was a rare top-grade spirit fruit!

Though they were Jiang Qitian’s direct disciples, they didn’t often have the chance to eat such spirit fruits.

Song Qiang quickly grabbed a few to taste; otherwise, Xiao Bai and Lin Wangchuan would finish them off.

The spirit fruit melted in his mouth, and Song Qiang felt a refreshing coldness spread from his belly, comfortable and soothing!

“By the way, Big Brother, I heard that after Qin Fei was carried back, he was in a terrible state. Little Junior Sister and your parents panicked and promised to spare no effort to find a divine doctor for him.”

Song Qiang suddenly said to Xiao Yang.

“What divine doctor could they possibly find?”

Xiao Yang casually remarked.

However, if the Sect Leader intervened, they might actually be able to invite a doctor from the Heavenly Medical Sect for Qin Fei.

But with the Jiazi Grand Competition approaching, all sects in the North were ramping up their preparations.

Heavenly Medical Sect was one of the top ten powers in the North.

At such a critical time, would the Heavenly Medical Sect really help heal the talents of a rival sect?

“The Saintess of Heavenly Medical Sect…”

Xiao Yang thought of this and suddenly envisioned a breathtaking beauty in white robes.
