Chapter 1473 - 1470: The Shock of Two Big Shots
Wan Daorong stood silently to the side, inwardly giving Yang Fei a thumbs up.
Good lad, truly deserving of the care I’ve shown you.
From his standpoint, Yang Fei’s words were undoubtedly voicing dissatisfaction on behalf of his master.
Being fellow disciples, you as Sect Leader still blatantly favor Wang Yuanxiao and his wife. Am I not your fellow disciple too?
Wang Xingpeng has committed countless wrongs, causing harm to my disciple’s friends and partner. Not taking action against him is one thing, but now that my disciple has made connections with Shen Wanjing and found a way to heal his partner, if you still obstruct, it simply isn’t reasonable.
Wan Daorong couldn’t help but feel a bit smug inside.
Over the years, Zhantai Chunqiu has been far too kind and indulgent to that couple on Tianzhu Peak. Now that they’ve antagonized Tian Nan Peak, yet Zhantai Chunqiu still sides with the couple from Tianzhu Peak, naturally Wan Daorong was displeased.
But as a junior brother, he also understood the Sect Leader’s difficulties, so for the sake of Shang Qing Sect’s larger picture, he didn’t voice his discontent.
Now that Yang Fei had laid out the facts, he could no longer pretend ignorance.
"Wang Yuanxiao and Bai Xumi have indeed gone too far. Half a year ago, I asked them to apologize to you as a family with their son; I thought the matter had been settled. I didn’t expect Wang Xingpeng to become this arrogant." Zhantai Chunqiu couldn’t maintain his composure and promptly declared, "Uncle will undoubtedly give you a satisfactory explanation for this issue."
Yang Fei looked up at him: "Life for a life?"
Zhantai Chunqiu was at a loss for words.
Wan Daorong hurriedly cleared his throat and scolded, "Fei’er, do not disrespect the Sect Leader Uncle."
Yang Fei lowered his head, displaying the pitiable look of being oppressed with no recourse, not daring to speak further.
Even Wan Daorong was fooled by his acting and felt somewhat guilty, thinking that his closed-door disciple had suffered such injustice within the sect, making him feel like an inadequate master.
Zhantai Chunqiu took a deep look at Yang Fei and said, "Since the grievances from half a year ago have been resolved, today’s events do not merit the death penalty. Uncle knows you feel wronged, but for the sake of Shang Qing Sect’s larger picture, you must bear the grievance for now."
Yang Fei secretly sneered.
For the sake of Shang Qing Sect’s greater good, should I endure such grievances as an ’outsider’?
He clearly knew that although Wan Daorong had taken him in as a closed-door disciple, in the eyes of the true powerhouses of Shang Qing Sect, he was still an outsider compared to Wang Xingpeng.
But such is life.
All because Wang Xingpeng has good parents.
Whether in the mundane world of the past or the Cultivation World of the present, there has never been a notion of absolute fairness or justice.
"Senior Brother, Yang Fei is my apprentice. Ever since he came to Shang Qing Sect, he’s suffered grievances. As a master, for Shang Qing Sect’s greater good, I’m not going to challenge Wang Yuanxiao and Bai Xumi to death matches. But now that this disciple’s beloved needs healing, I can’t turn a blind eye."
Wan Daorong timely stepped in, saying, "Though Shen Wanjing approaches us for the Genetic Liquid Medicine, since he has chosen to align with my disciple, in my view, it’s best we don’t interfere with their personal relationship. Moreover, from another perspective, Shen Wanjing forming a good relationship with my disciple brings the Shen Family and our Shang Qing Sect closer, which is advantageous to us. Now that Shen Wanjing knows of the Genetic Liquid Medicine, Wangxian Sect will likely soon find out as well."
Zhantai Chunqiu snorted, "That’s precisely why I do not agree to it."
Wan Daorong’s expression shifted slightly, asking, "Has Senior Brother heard any news?"
Zhantai Chunqiu replied, "Even if Wangxian Sect’s spies aren’t yet aware of this matter, today Shen Wanjing independently ascended Tian Nan Peak for your disciple and even faced Wang Yuanxiao’s couple head-on. This will quickly spread. Do you think Wangxian Sect won’t inquire why Shen Wanjing cares so much about this kid?"
Wan Daorong nodded repeatedly with a frown, saying, "Today’s actions did indeed stir up quite a commotion."
Zhantai Chunqiu addressed Yang Fei, "For you, staying in the Earth World or here in Shang Qing Sect is currently the safest. Who knows how many forces might watch you from the shadows if you wander outside?"
Yang Fei covertly nodded, feeling a sense of vigilance and caution.
But he had to ensure Li Xuanyu’s body remained undamaged, so he said, "Disciple will proceed with utmost caution, especially since Master Shen is accompanying, ensuring safety."
Zhantai Chunqiu frowned slightly, "Are you still determined to take this path?"
Yang Fei sensed Zhantai Chunqiu’s anger, gritting his teeth as he said, "Sister Xuanyu means too much to me; I won’t miss any chance to heal her."
Zhantai Chunqiu snorted, "To heal her, are you willing to expend a strand of Divine Sense to maintain her Divine Soul?"
Yang Fei was startled, suddenly looking up at Zhantai Chunqiu’s giant face protruding from the stone wall.
How did he know I spent a strand of Divine Sense to maintain Li Xuanyu’s Primordial Spirit in the Soul Binding Rope’s world?
The most crucial point is that the giant face before him was at most a strand of the Divine Sense incarnation of Zhantai Chunqiu; he wasn’t even personally present but could see through his secret?
Such power is truly terrifying.
Even Wan Daorong showed an astonished expression, surprisedly looking at Yang Fei, asking, "Fei’er, is this true?"
Yang Fei nodded.
Wan Daorong became even more shocked.
He scrutinized Yang Fei, hoping to discern something, yet discovered nothing.
Taking a deep breath, Wan Daorong stared at Yang Fei, "For the past half year, while cultivating by my side, have you been maintaining a strand of Divine Sense to safeguard Li Xuanyu’s residual soul?"
Yang Fei replied, "Yes, Master."
In the depths of Wan Daorong’s eyes, two beams of light flashed, his heart filled with both shock and joy.
He turned and respectfully addressed Zhantai Chunqiu, "Senior Brother, if my disciple has offended you, please, for my sake, do not take it to heart."
Zhantai Chunqiu’s huge face bore a hint of shock too, staring fixedly at Yang Fei, which made Yang Fei feel uneasy.
With his Divine Skills and Cultivation, he could see that Yang Fei’s Divine Sense was split in two. Combining this with the needs of Li Xuanyu’s residual soul for nurturing, he deduced what that split strand of Divine Sense was doing.
However, while Yang Fei was cultivating alongside Wan Daorong, he constantly maintained a strand of Divine Sense to care for Li Xuanyu’s residual soul, a fact unknown to him.
If memory serves, this kid was in the early stage of Core Formation when he first arrived at Shang Qing Sect.
After half a year with Junior Brother Wan, he broke through to the middle stage of Core Formation.
This speed is indeed astonishing, but not unparalleled in the Southern Domain Cultivation World.
Yet, if his cultivation throughout these six months has been conducted while maintaining a split strand of Divine Sense, then this kid’s comprehension...
"So be it, after all, it is our Shang Qing Sect who is in your debt." Zhantai Chunqiu suddenly sighed and told Yang Fei, "Go ahead, but you must remember what I told you today. Be extremely cautious while out there, prioritizing safety above all."
Yang Fei was taken aback, not expecting Zhantai Chunqiu to suddenly agree.
Although puzzled, he felt more joy, so much so that the resentment he harbored against him dissolved a little.
"Thank you, Sect Leader Uncle, disciple will definitely be cautious," Yang Fei gratefully replied immediately.
