Supreme Emptiness

He had just been focused on battling the White Void Jade Bull.

He heard someone calling his name loudly, but didn't catch the tone.

Now he asked a question.

Cold sweat broke out on Hua Xiangchen's forehead.

His throat rolled as he secretly swallowed his saliva.

All thoughts of avenging past humiliations and wiping out disgrace.

Had been completely dispelled by Jiang Fan's terrifying strength.

Let alone bringing it up, he didn't even dare to think about it anymore.

"What exactly are you here for?" Jiang Fan frowned.

He called his name, but then stood there like a log, not moving an inch.

And didn't answer his question.

Hua Xiangchen suddenly snapped back to reality, his face stiffened.

When he met Jiang Fan's eyes, he quickly averted them out of guilt: "I...I am here to..."

He stammered, unable to come up with a good excuse for a long time.

Liang Feiyan gave him a glance.

He had clearly heard the animosity in Hua Xiangchen's earlier shout.

The reason he had changed was likely the same as his own, upon realizing Jiang Fan was too powerful to provoke.

He sneered: "Junior Brother Hua, you aren't here to get an explanation for Li Shiqian, are you?"

Hmm?

Jiang Fan frowned even more deeply.

A trace of displeasure appeared on his face: "Is your Supreme Sect not done yet?"

"Li Shiqian kept making trouble and eventually angered Vice Pavilion Master Ye, which led to her current fate."

"But you still won't stop harassing me?"

"Do you think that because my sect is not here, you can bully me when I'm alone?"

Hua Xiangchen's heart pounded.

He quickly said: "No, no! Senior Brother, I absolutely didn't mean that, absolutely not!"

"My Junior Sister was willful and childish, and being disqualified was her just desserts."

"How could I dare ask you for an explanation?"

Jiang Fan was even more puzzled.

"Then why are you here?"

He had no friendship with Hua Xiangchen.

The only connection they had was the sparring match during the Supreme Sect competition.

Hua Xiangchen's face stiffened again, then he had a sudden brainwave.

Suddenly, he shouted authoritatively towards the outside: "Why don't you get in here?"

Outside, Li Shiqian was extremely anxious.

Praying that Jiang Fan wouldn't be beaten to death.

Suddenly hearing Hua Xiangchen's shout, her heart leapt.

Could he have beaten him to death already?

She quickly ran inside.

But what met her eyes was an unharmed Jiang Fan.

No way.

Weren't we supposed to give him a severe lesson?

How come he didn't even have a scratch?

At the very least, shouldn't he have his bones broken and be in so much pain that he's crying for his parents?

She couldn't help but ask angrily: "Senior Brother Hua, what's going on?"

She had been worried and afraid that Jiang Fan would be beaten to death.

But in the end, Hua Xiangchen had spent so much time messing around and hadn't even scratched Jiang Fan.

With a stern look, Hua Xiangchen grabbed her head and scolded:

"What are you standing there for? Kneel down and apologize to Junior Brother Jiang!"

"Look at the mess you've made!"

"Even your Senior Brother feels ashamed!"

Wait!

This isn't how it's supposed to go!

Li Shiqian was stunned.

You came under the pretense of avenging me and teaching Jiang Fan a lesson.

How come when facing Jiang Fan, you're pushing my head down and making me apologize?

She cried out: "Senior Brother, are you crazy..."

Before finishing her sentence.

Hua Xiangchen kicked her to the ground.

Then, holding her head, he made her bow her head to the ground three times.

After doing this, he gave Jiang Fan a stiff smile: "I came here just to bring my Junior Sister to apologize to Junior Brother Jiang."

"Please, Junior Brother Jiang, be magnanimous and forgive us."

Um—

Jiang Fan was stunned.

Ye Cangyuan had already punished Li Shiqian and given him an explanation, hadn't he?

Was it necessary to drag Li Shiqian here and force her to kneel and apologize again?

Hua Xiangchen seemed... not as bad as he had imagined.

At least he had a strong sense of right and wrong, and didn't unjustly favor his own people.

He quickly said: "Senior Brother Hua, you're being too serious."

"The matter is already settled, there's no need to go to such lengths."

Hua Xiangchen exhaled in relief, saying: "Thank you for your generosity, Junior Brother Jiang."

"If that's the case, I won't disturb you any longer."

"Goodbye, goodbye."

With that.

Leaving with the dazed and bewildered Li Shiqian, they quickly departed.

Jiang Fan felt a bit baffled: "Why does Hua Xiangchen seem so strange?"

Xia Chaoge, standing by, sighed slightly: "The strange feeling emanates from you, Master Uncle?"

"A new disciple who has the strength to rival our top elites."

"Who wouldn't feel strange encountering you?"

Even in her heart, she felt a bit odd.

Was Master Uncle's strength really this formidable?

How did the rumor about him having no Spirit Root spread?

Too outrageous, right?

Liang Feiyan deeply agreed.

Jiang Fan was simply a monster!

He cupped his hands: "Then I wish you success in completing the mission, Junior Brother Jiang."

"When you return, let's have a celebration dinner!"

"Goodbye!"

Nangong Xiaoyun also had to deal with the unwanted Five-Colored Spirit Steed, saying: "Junior Brother Jiang, be very careful."

"If a rescue mission is classified at the Heaven Level, it surely holds great danger."

With that, the two left one after the other.

In the end, only Jiang Fan and Xia Chaoge were left.

"Master Uncle, I still want to accompany you." Xia Chaoge couldn't rest easy, saying: "With my adequate skills, I might be of some help."

Jiang Fan waved his hand.

"No need!"

This trip was fraught with unknown dangers, and he already regretted bringing along Yue Mingzhu.

If something went wrong, Yue Mingzhu would be lost.

How could he bring Xia Chaoge along too?

"But Master Uncle, you're out of your last Revitalizing Pill. If you encounter danger, it will be hard to maneuver." Xia Chaoge said.

Jiang Fan chuckled: "Who said I had only one last Revitalizing Pill left?"

Thinking for a moment, he looked around to make sure no one else was there.

He then took out a vial containing ten Revitalizing Pills and swiftly placed it in her hand.

"Take them, use them discreetly, and don't let anyone know."

Xia Chaoge looked at her palm in confusion.

Seeing this, even with her calm nature, she was astonished.

"Revitalizing Pills? So many?"

Wasn't it said that there were only three Revitalizing Pills on the market, all in the hands of the Myriad Swords Sect?

Where did these ten come from?

Realizing something.

She quickly tried to return them to Jiang Fan, saying: "No, no! Chaoge can't accept this!"

"Please, Master Uncle, take them back!"

The current value of the Revitalizing Pill was indescribable.

One alone was an incredibly rare Divine Object.

Let alone a whole vial?

Such a precious gift, how could she dare accept it?

Jiang Fan said: "What's there to be polite about between uncles and nieces?"

But Xia Chaoge was firm, saying: "Master Uncle."

"Though we are uncle and niece, this gift is far too valuable."

"Chaoge neither dares nor can accept it."

"Please understand, Master Uncle."

Value?

Jiang Fan was taken aback, what did she mean?

The Revitalizing Pill was indeed a Divine Object to the outside world.

But for him, who had over a hundred and could make more at any time, it was a common small gift.

He gave them to Xia Chaoge considering she often undertook first-level missions filled with dangers.

As an uncle, giving her some Healing Spirit Pills.

Wasn't that overstepping?

But seeing Xia Chaoge's determined attitude, it seemed she truly wouldn't accept them.

Jiang Fan smiled, saying: "You should take them."

"Ensure you have enough for yourself, and if you encounter seriously injured companions, you can save their lives."

Saying so.

He forced the Jade Bottle into her hand.

Hmm?

Xia Chaoge was startled.

Why did these words seem so familiar?

She remembered.

When her Master Uncle gave her the Beast King's Stomach, she had refused because it was too precious, but he had used curing disease and saving lives as an excuse to convince her to accept it.

Now, using the same trick.

It seemed Master Uncle had figured out her healer's compassion.

Just for herself, she might not accept it.

But to heal and save others, she couldn't resist.

Xia Chaoge was immediately very troubled.

Refusing it wasn't right, accepting it wasn't right.

She stomped her foot in frustration, pouting: "Master Uncle, you always bully me!"

Jiang Fan laughed heartily.

This trick was really effective.

He leaped onto White Void Jade Bull's back, saying: "Farewell, niece."

"Take care!"

Then, riding on White Void Jade Bull, he rushed to the rendezvous point.

At the same time.

In the North Yard rented by the Supreme Sect.

Listening to Li Shiqian's tearful complaints, the Supreme Sect Master was so angry he felt like bursting.

Pointing at Hua Xiangchen kneeling on the ground, he roared:

"You've brought shame to our Supreme Sect!"

"I told you to avenge your Junior Sister, but what on earth did you do?"

Pathetic!

Absolutely pathetic!

Hua Xiangchen felt wronged and said: "Master, how can you blame me?"

"You haven't seen how terrifying Jiang Fan's strength is now."

"If I had gone in recklessly, I would've probably been smacked away, making us appear even more shameful."

The Supreme Sect Master was so furious he couldn't speak.

A new disciple, so powerful?

Who could believe that?

Just at this moment.

A disciple came in holding an urgent letter.

"Sect Master, Elder Lu has sent an urgent message from the Seven-colored Mine."
