Chapter 138: Sudden Isolation

Fang Che frowned, perplexed and confused. "It's not time yet. I just submitted my points, how could this be..."

"There's another matter! You have two breaths to come out, or else face the consequences yourself."

The instructor's words were stern.

Fang Che was momentarily stunned, and in an instant, he felt something was amiss.

What could it be?

Not daring to delay, he quickly composed himself and took a step forward, his face filled with curiosity.

"What's going on?"

At a glance, he saw Li Changkong and Bing Shangxue, and Bing Shangxue was looking at him with a worried expression.

Beside them, there was a coffin-like cold face leading a few people standing on his side, staring at him with sharp eyes.

"You, Fang Che?"

"Yes."

"Identify yourself, and come with us!"

A group of people surrounded Fang Che, like escorting a prisoner, and led him forward.

Opposite them, Qiu Yunshang, Yu Zhongge, Jing Shuanggao, and Xie Gongping walked side by side, clearly also heading towards the Spirit Energy Gravity Training Room.

When they saw Fang Che being taken away, all four of them were stunned.

Qiu Yunshang immediately stepped forward, "Old Brother Fang, what's going on?"

"I don't know. The Martial Academy wants to talk to me..."

Fang Che was completely confused.

"Don't interfere with official duties."

Xiang Xinghe spoke coldly, "Step aside."

Yu Zhongge furrowed his brows and asked, "May I ask this instructor, what's going on with him? Whether it's an investigation or an examination, or if it's related to something else, as brothers, shouldn't we also be informed?"

"What's the use of you knowing?" Xiang Xinghe was blunt.

"At least we can try to pull some strings!"

Yu Zhongge, the heir of a Secondary Clan, a peak figure, also lost his temper. "Even if he's been arrested for breaking the law, the family should still try to pull some strings and plead for him, right? How can the Martial Academy be so domineering?"

Yu Zhongge, as the heir of a Secondary Clan, could be considered a peak figure. At this moment, the eldest young master lost his temper, and suddenly became a bit reckless. "Martial Academy's examination!"

Xiang Xinghe spoke coldly, "Go find some connections then."

They took Fang Che away.

Yu Zhongge was furious, "How can things be handled like this? We paid the tuition, and yet they treat us like criminals! If you want to pull strings, then go ahead. Do you think this young master can't find connections?"

Qiu Yunshang patted his shoulder, "We'll also keep an eye on things, and communicate if there's any issue. But it depends on what the matter is. We don't know anything now, so why are you getting angry?"

Jing Shuanggao furrowed his brows and said, "In the past few days, the Martial Academy has arrested many people, and it's said to be related to the Ancient Jade. If Old Brother Fang is implicated in that... things won't be good. Let's take one step at a time."

Xie Gongping said, "Yes, let's see first. It's said that the dozen or so people arrested are all spies of the Demon Sect. If Fang Che is also a spy of the Demon Sect, should we still pull strings for him?"

This sentence caused the other three to freeze.

Yu Zhongge smiled faintly, took a deep breath, and suddenly his eyes and expression became calm, as if his anger had suddenly subsided.

He remained silent.

But he no longer looked at Xie Gongping.

Jing Shuanggao frowned and said, "What are you saying? Are you sure that Old Brother Fang is a spy now? Isn't it still unconfirmed? Why are you directly calling him by his name, Fang Che?"

Qiu Yunshang was also dissatisfied and said, "Your words are extremely inappropriate. If Old Brother Fang is a spy, then we won't have the chance to play together in the future. But you, Xie Gongping, are saying this without any evidence. It's not right."

Xie Gongping was surprised by the strong reaction to his seemingly fair words. "I'm just speaking the truth. Why are you all reacting so strongly?"

Qiu Yunshang was furious, "It's not just your words, but your tone. You're being so condescending, don't you think this young master is a fool and can't tell?"

Jing Shuanggao also said, "We've been playing together for so long, shouldn't there be some affection? Moreover, Old Brother Fang has taken good care of us, and we've learned a lot from him. There's a sense of gratitude; before the facts are clear, why are you being so smug? Today, if Mo Gaiyun wasn't here, he could have beaten you to death!"

He spoke coldly, "Your words show that you don't consider us as friends or brothers. You wouldn't speak like this about Old Brother Fang!"

Jing Shuanggao's eyes became sharp, "Xie Gongping, what do you think of our more than a month of sparring together?"

Xie Gongping took a step back in fear, "I... I didn't mean that."

He looked at Yu Zhongge and said, "Fourth Brother, you know me. I didn't mean it that way."

Yu Zhongge smiled faintly, seemingly oblivious to the argument. He spoke indifferently, "We've arrived at the training room. I'll go in first. You guys handle the rest!"

He took large strides and entered.

He didn't even glance at Xie Gongping.

He ignored Xie Gongping's pleas.

Everyone entered one after the other.

No one spoke again.

Xie Gongping grabbed Qiu Yunshang, who was the last to enter, "Listen to me.

"Qiu Yunshang waved his hand, and with that simple gesture, he broke free.

Then, with a face as cold as frost, he stepped inside, declaring, "I have nothing to say to you!"

"!!!"

Xie Gongping suddenly felt isolated in that very instant.

All because of those words.

He was perplexed, his thoughts swirling with questions: What happened? Did I say something wrong? If Fang Che is confirmed as a spy for the Demon Sect, will you still stand by him?

Moreover, if something happens to Fang Che, it's only natural that he'll be removed from the team.

Isn't this the perfect opportunity for you to rise to the top? He's just a minor family's son, and he's been suppressing you Heaven's Pride for so long. Don't you feel uncomfortable about that? Are you content with this situation?

What did I say wrong?

Why did things suddenly change?

Are the heirs of these major families all insane?

They want to break ties over a simple disagreement?

This is utterly unreasonable!

Xie Gongping stood at the doorway, seething with indignation. The people from major families indeed don't give us from minor families a second glance. They vent their anger as they please, do as they please, and never consider others' feelings!

...

Far away, standing in the shade of a tree, Wu Zhibing sighed.

In fact, standing in Xie Gongping's position, his thoughts were not wrong, and neither were his words. But his mistake lay in his choice of address and tone.

The title of 'Big Brother Fang' had been used for a long time. It was an agreement among the group that whoever was the strongest would be the Big Brother.

Even now, with Fang Che under investigation, he is still Big Brother Fang.

Because you haven't defeated him.

If the Martial Academy confirms that Fang Che is a spy, he will never return. As for the ranking among the brothers, it will be re-evaluated at that time. The change in address for Fang Che will happen then, and no one will say anything.

But changing it now is unacceptable. Even if it's later proven that Fang Che is a spy, it's absolutely unacceptable to change from calling him Big Brother Fang to addressing him by his name!

Just as Xie Gongping thought, are the heirs of these major families all insane?

Absolutely not.

But precisely because they are the offspring of major families, their education from a young age is stricter. They think more and see more than ordinary children.

Usually, when everyone is together, these things aren't noticeable.

But Fang Che being taken away is the first major event among the brothers.

And this significant event is the time for the great waves to sift through the sand.

Xie Gongping changing his address now, from one perspective, is like changing with the wind. And the slight hint of schadenfreude in his tone reveals his true character.

As for Yu Zhongge, Qiu Yunshang, and the others from major families, their time at the Martial Academy is for them to gain experience or find opportunities to build their core teams.

They aren't here to make friends or purely for education.

What they seek is the future!

They aim for the clouds!

So, after Xie Gongping's revelation, they immediately expressed their dissatisfaction. With their status and background, they don't need to care about others' opinions. If you're not suitable, I'll just remove you from the team.

In the future, we'll be rolling in bloody storms and supporting each other in life-and-death battles at the gates of death.

If there's someone who changes with the wind, it's like throwing away their lives right here at the Martial Academy!

This is precisely the concern of Mo Gaiyun and other heirs from major families.

Although Xie Gongping is quite capable and usually straightforward, deep down, he has an inferiority complex when facing major families. He also lacks the experience of seeing a strong one in distress, and the schadenfreude he feels is ever-present.

And it shows from time to time.

For those in the clouds, this is precisely the biggest taboo.

A dragon, even if it falls from the clouds and lies immobile on the ground, is still a dragon!

Can a few ants dare to mock it?

I don't care if I die; if all is said and done, the whole world has nothing to do with me. But as long as I have a breath left, I will not be disgraced!

But Xie Gongping, being young and inexperienced, couldn't possibly understand this mindset.

Xie Gongping pondered for a long time, unable to figure it out. Instead, he felt targeted: "The heirs of major families look down on us from minor families. Why don't they just say it? Is it worth making such a fuss over this? Humph."

As he was thinking, Ding Jieren approached from a distance, also heading for the Spirit Energy and Heavy Gravity Cultivation Room.

Xie Gongping's eyes lit up.

Ding Jieren was also from an Eighth Rank Clan, just like him. This was his natural ally.

So, he enthusiastically greeted him.

Ding Jieren found it strange. Why wasn't this guy going inside to cultivate? But Ding Jieren was naturally reluctant to speak. If he asked a question, and Ding Jieren answered, he would have to say another sentence—it's better to do less than more.

"Fifth Brother."

Ding Jieren was currently ranked fifth, and Xie Gongping greeted him: "You're here?"

"Yeah."

"Hey, I was just targeted. Us kids from minor families... Hey... It's like this..."

Xie Gongping recounted the incident: "Don't you think they're being too much?"

Ding Jieren's eyes revealed a peculiar look as he sized up Xie Gongping.

His gaze was like a sword, hovering at his throat.
