Chapter 155: Swiftly Cutting Through the Chaos 【Bonus Chapter for the Alliance Leader】
Jun Hefang and Hua Xie both smiled, intrigued, and moved closer while concealing their presence.
At the same time, Huang Yifan, Xiang Xinghe, Li Changkong, and Lu Jiaoshan's Divine Thoughts also slowly approached.
Fang Che sat cross-legged on the ground with a smile.
Everyone looked at each other.
"Let me do it," Qiu Yunshang volunteered.
So, he narrated the events of Fang Che's detention, followed by the story of how Xie Gongping spoke arrogantly, and then everyone started collecting Spirit Herbs, and the Martial Academy announced the Great Competition, and so on. He recounted every detail, including how Yu Zhongge taught Ding Jieren Sword Technique, leaving nothing out.
Each event was described straightforwardly, devoid of emotional coloring, and even more so, without personal opinions or embellishments.
Simple and clean.
Fang Che listened attentively.
Then he turned to Yu Zhongge: "Your handling of the Xie Gongping matter was a bit harsh."
Yu Zhongge lowered his head and said, "You're right, Elder Fang. My approach was indeed harsh and violent."
Fang Che waved his hand and said to Xie Gongping, "Gongping, when I heard what you said, I didn't feel anything. Perhaps our brothers were angry and said a few more words to you, but the real reason you were excluded wasn't that. We still trust your character. Rest assured."
Tears welled up in Xie Gongping's eyes as he replied, "Yes, Elder Fang."
"Yu Zhongge, then it's your turn. Since we'll be fellow travelers on the path of life and death in the future, some things are better said openly and honestly. Let's not keep guessing each other's thoughts."
"After all, we'll be brothers who share life and death together, and it's better to speak openly."
Yu Zhongge nodded, feeling sincere and convinced, and said, "Yes, it's a problem with the habits of being a member of a great family. In the future, I'll be more careful and won't make this mistake again."
He cleared his throat and said, "Xie Gongping, to be honest, you are a bit narrow-minded, but you're trustworthy in crucial moments. We believe that when faced with danger, you'll fight and sacrifice for your brothers."
"We have some minor opinions about you, but we don't look down on you."
"The real reason is that you can't keep up."
Yu Zhongge sighed, "I know it might be hard for you to hear this, but it's the truth. You could see it in today's battle. Everyone's cultivation progress will get faster, and the gap between us will widen."
"If you insist on following, there are a few ways. First, I, Mo Gaiyun, Qiu Yunshang, Jing Shuanggao, and others can use clan resources to forcefully boost your progress at each step. Over time, the gap between you and us will naturally widen."
"Once you get used to this, you'll still be separated from the team. You and your clan will become a vassal clan to any of our clans, becoming a supporting role."
"But we were once brothers. Even we wouldn't feel comfortable with this change."
"However, as our cultivation improves and we venture out, it'll become more dangerous. We're all confident in self-protection, but with you, we're not so sure. As martial artists, you understand what I mean. If one day you sacrifice yourself, it'll be a significant blow to us. Because we could have left you out, and you wouldn't have died. But since we overlooked your strength and forced you to come along, it became our heart demon."
"So, when I realized it and you said those words, I couldn't help but explode. I took advantage of the situation, and my anger was genuine. I couldn't tolerate anyone rejoicing in the misfortune of their brothers."
Yu Zhongge stood up, "I apologize for that."
Xie Gongping felt lost, "So that's how it is."
He stood dejectedly, "Then it's fine. I thought it was an issue with my character..."
Yu Zhongge stood up and said, "Xie Gongping!"
"Hmm?"
Yu Zhongge said, "Since we've spoken openly today, I'll take it to the end. In the future, when we practice together here, if you want to come, you still can. But I think as the gap in strength widens, you might not be willing. The reason for excluding you is that we want you to be outside, as we believe you're excellent, and we're all aware of it."
"But you're even more aware of it. We also hope that in the future, when you improve, you'll come and challenge us, knocking us down one by one!"
Yu Zhongge said, "Xie Gongping, don't you want to?"
Xie Gongping was stunned, then burst into loud laughter, "Not bad! Why should I be bullied by you? In the future, I'll definitely find you and take back what's mine one by one!"
He spoke arrogantly, laughing heartily.
Turning around, he vanished in an instant.
The six of them watched as Xie Gongping's figure disappeared, their expressions varying.
"It's a satisfactory resolution. Xie Gongping won't feel good about it, but in the end, you've ignited his fighting spirit. That's great."
Fang Che sighed, "In the future, Xie Gongping will probably train even harder. I just hope that one day, he can come back."
Mo Gaiyun looked at Fang Che in confusion.
He didn't understand why Fang Che would ask Yu Zhongge to explain.
Instead of Fang Che explaining it in his own words.
The explanation would be the same.
However, the authority of the words would be different.
Mo Gaiyun couldn't believe that Fang Che would overlook such an issue.
Yu Zhongge also sighed, "This is probably why I've been thinking about it ever since that day. I've been figuring it out step by step."
Fang Che smiled and said, "But for our group, once we form a cohesive unit, we'll basically dominate our peers, becoming invincible among them. So, there's great potential in the future."
"But the problem we face now is still about synchronizing our progress. Due to my special circumstances, in the short term, I shouldn't fall too far behind. As for you four, with the support of your powerful families, you'll gradually catch up."
"Now, let's talk about Ding Jieren. Old Ding, with the sword manual from Yu Zhongge, you can basically maintain your pace until the second or third year without falling behind. But once you do fall behind, you can never catch up again. At that point, no matter what, you must not accept any more gifts from Yu Zhongge. The reason for this is what Yu Zhongge already explained to Xie Gongping earlier."
Ding Jieren muttered, "Second or third year? That... is enough."
Fang Che nodded, "Finally, let's talk about the leader's position."
The four of them instantly had a glint in their eyes.
"For now, I'm the leader. But, I won't be able to hold this position for long. Your accumulation of power is already sufficient, and you've all reached the Primordial Great Master level. Even if you don't advance further immediately, the General Rank will definitely begin. I understand your incredible speed."
Fang Che let out a bitter laugh, "So, after some time passes, I'm afraid I'll be surpassed by you all."
Mo Gaiyun smirked.
Yu Zhongge also smirked, his shoulder still sore from Fang Che's punch.
Qiu Yunshang and Jing Shuanggao simply rolled their eyes.
If they said Ding Jieren would fall behind one day, they believed it.
But Fang Che...
They'd never believe it, not even if you killed them!
