Chapter 139: That's My Big Brother [Extra Chapter for Yi Cheng Alliance's Master]
"Fifth Brother, what's wrong with you?" Xie Gongping asked, puzzled.
Ding Jieren replied with disgust, "Get lost!"
One word wasn't enough; he unexpectedly raised his hand and slapped Xie Gongping, sending him flying.
The crisp sound of the slap stunned Xie Gongping.
This was the first time Ding Jieren had ever slapped someone in his life.
Then, breaking all conventions, he spoke a few more words.
"You're not worthy of calling me Fifth Brother!"
He then walked straight into the Spirit Energy and Heavy Gravity Cultivation Room.
"What the hell...!" Xie Gongping covered his face, completely dumbfounded.
What's happening today? Why has the world suddenly changed?
I can understand why Yu Zhongge and the others are like this; they're not from the same world as us. But what about you, Ding Jieren? Do you think you're from a major clan?
Besides, during the time that Huo Churan was expelled, everyone got along well, didn't they? What's going on?
Just because I called out to Fang Che? Does Fang Che have such high prestige?
...
Far away, Jun Hefang sat under a tree, looking at the much smaller Xie Gongping, and chuckled coldly, "This kid is done for."
Hua Xie sighed, "This Xie Gongping is indeed finished."
They were quite far, but as experts, they could hear clearly, especially since Xie Gongping and the others weren't using telepathy.
Behind them, Wu Zhibing stood like a spear, gazing at Xie Gongping with a complex expression on his face. He slowly said, "He reminds me of Dong Yunyu."
Jun Hefang and Hua Xie fell silent for a moment.
They didn't speak.
In the past, Dong Yunyu was also part of their group.
Just like Fang Che and his gang.
But as various incidents kept happening, the group gradually diminished, eventually transforming from over ten people to just three.
The others were excluded.
"In a sea of people, who can be called a true man?"
Hua Xie sighed softly, "The strong survive, that's how it is. We've all witnessed their cultivation and battles during this time. This Xie Gongping was already falling behind, and anyone in the group could easily beat him. If he had a genuinely humble character, he could have still stayed with the team. In the future, when these few people's names shake the world, he could have also risen to prominence, and his family could have benefited from their connection, soaring to new heights."
"Unfortunately, his small cleverness has ruined him."
Hua Xie was full of regret.
"You're wrong," Wu Zhibing said, his cold face showing a thoughtful expression. "Even if he hadn't done this, he wouldn't have lasted long. His small cleverness, inferiority complex, and the suppression from constantly lagging behind others would eventually explode."
"No matter what, his true nature will reveal itself!"
"So, you're saying that as long as he follows, he'll rise to prominence. That's not right. Because he can't keep up in the end! No matter what, he can't do it!"
"The Boss is right!"
Jun Hefang laughed, "Yes, he can't do it! Dong Yunyu couldn't either!"
Hua Xie said, "But how do I put it... This Xie Gongping isn't a bad person, either."
"That's because he's not a bad person," Wu Zhibing said. "He's just a bit clever, and not a bad person, but... Good people don't always stick together. In this group, they value each other's worth first."
"Only after affirming each other's worth can they slowly develop a bond. This team is far from being formed."
"There were seven of us, and now one is gone. If Fang Che returns, there will be six. And by graduation, if there are three or four left... that would be great."
Wu Zhibing smiled faintly, "Let's go, I'll see how much you've improved these past few days."
"Good!"
The three of them left together.
...
Fang Che followed and entered a small conference room.
As soon as he entered, even Li Changkong was startled.
On the other side were a row of chairs, already occupied by a group of people.
In the middle was a man with three strands of long beard, his face stern and commanding. He naturally exuded an aura of long-term high position and authority.
To his left was Menghe Jun, and to his right was Gao Qingyu, with Huang Yifan by his side.
Menghe Jun's position was obviously meant for Xiang Xinghe.
Then, on both sides, were two deputy headmasters, Lu Jiaoshan and Meng Chizheng.
In total, nine people sat above.
But on the other side, there was only one chair.
It was obviously prepared for Fang Che.
Li Changkong's scalp went numb.
What is the Martial College up to?
Upon seeing this setting, Fang Che's heart sank.
It's too grand!
It's too formal!
What's the Guardian doing with this arrangement? Do they plan to expose me right now? This completely ruins all my plans!
And if I'm exposed, I'm basically dead!
He couldn't help but take a deep breath, his mind racing with seventeen or eighteen different ideas.
Gao Qingyu noticed Li Changkong's arrival and spoke, "Instructor Li, you're Fang Che's instructor. Since you're here too, go ahead and bring a chair over to sit and observe; but you understand the situation today."
"Li Changkong took a deep breath and said, "I understand, I won't speak recklessly."
Xiang Xinghe waved his hand, and the few people responsible for escorting Fang Che quietly left the room.
The door was closed.
Xiang Xinghe also took a few quick steps and sat down in his seat.
Li Changkong sighed and moved a chair to sit in the corner behind Fang Che.
He didn't want to sit across from Fang Che again, causing him even more pressure.
But in his heart, he was already filled with pessimism.
This situation was truly overwhelming!
Could it be that a genius was about to fall here?
He was only seventeen and a half years old, and in just a few months, he had advanced from a Martial Apprentice to a Primordial Grand Master, and he had barely used any medicinal pills to forcefully enhance himself.
He was a seedling who could surely make it onto the Cloudy Heaven Rank!
Li Changkong felt incredibly distressed.
But he was even more aware that in this situation, his words didn't hold much weight.
Even if the Headmaster Gao Qingyu spoke, it wouldn't matter! Everything depended on the person sitting in the middle.
And that person, was the one in charge of overseeing the entire Southeast Region! He was also the one in charge of guarding the entire Southeast Region.
He was a shocking expert who had left an impression on the world.
The number one person in the Southeast, Zhao Shanhe!
"Fang Che, take a seat."
Zhao Shanhe spoke indifferently, "Sit there."
Fang Che put on a frightened expression, glancing left and right. He perched on the edge of the chair, sitting uneasily. His eyes fixed on the middle where Gao Qingyu sat, and his voice trembled slightly, "Headmaster, I..."
Gao Qingyu spoke indifferently, "There are just a few questions I need to ask you. Just answer truthfully."
"Yes."
Meng Chizheng, sitting on one side, spoke solemnly, "When you speak, think carefully. This concerns your entire future. Absolutely do not utter a single lie!"
"Yes, I understand, teacher."
Lu Jiaoshan, sitting at the far end, sighed.
He suddenly remembered that when Fang Che first enrolled, Huang Yifan seemed to have done something similar.
Could it be that this Fang Che truly had a problem? As of now, he was the top genius among the new students at White Cloud Academy.
Zhao Shanhe saw that everyone was in position and nodded slightly at Xiang Xinghe.
The meaning was clear: let's begin.
...
Xiang Xinghe coughed and said, "Fang Che, the main reason I called you here today is to verify a few things, and also, someone has filed a formal report against you. The person who reported you has a very high status, so it's not a fake report. We can't take this lightly, and I hope you understand the gravity of the situation."
"I understand, teacher."
"Also, don't have that kind of lucky mindset."
"I understand, teacher."
"I must remind you that everyone here can be considered a top expert. Your blood flow speed, your heartbeat speed, the changes in your eyes, your facial expressions, fluctuations in your divine sense, every movement of your body that can reveal your emotions, will all let us know if you're lying!"
Xiang Xinghe spoke indifferently, "I hope you won't mislead yourself."
Fang Che nodded, "I understand."
Xiang Xinghe took out a stack of papers and flipped through them with a rustling sound, his face expressionless, as if he were a block of ice.
A tense atmosphere slowly filled the room as he continued to flip through the papers.
He looked through them one by one, his movements calm and slow, his eyes also flashing as if reading the content.
He spoke slowly, "This stack of papers contains records of your affairs, and they are very detailed. You can see for yourself how thick it is, indicating that there's a lot recorded here."
Fang Che nodded, "Yes."
Xiang Xinghe finally flipped to the last page, then took it out and placed it on top. He looked at it and said, "Now, the first question: what is your relationship with Su Yue from the Su Clan?"
"My brother Su?"
Fang Che's eyes lit up, "He's my best brother, and also my best friend. We're sworn brothers, bound by life and death. We grew up together, and he has always taken good care of me. When I was down, he'd cheer me up, and when I was unhappy, he'd keep me company. If there was something delicious, he'd think of me first, and if there was something fun, he'd invite me to join..."
Fang Che spoke passionately, his face filled with nostalgic memories of their warm friendship.
"Brother Su's kindness towards me is truly unparalleled..."
Xiang Xinghe finally couldn't help but roll his eyes, "According to the records, Su Yue was very close to you for a few years."
"Yes."
"But the reason he got close to you was to corrupt you and bring harm to the Fang Clan. He even wanted to use you to obtain a treasure map from your grandfather!"
"Impossible!"
Fang Che blurted out, "Brother Su is not that kind of person!"
Xiang Xinghe narrowed his eyes, "According to the investigation, Su Yue got close to you with the intention of leading you astray and influencing the Fang Clan. He also wanted to obtain a treasure map from your grandfather through you!"
