Chapter 156: The Grandmaster's Good Mood [Extra Chapter for PK with the Alliance Leader]
Chapter 156: The Grandmaster's Good Mood [Extra Chapter for PK with the Alliance Leader]
As scions of great clans, they all shared an innate sense for heritage.
Fang Che was currently fearless and vigorous, displaying an aura of boundless heritage. If one didn't know his true background as a Ninth-Rank Clan member, even if some guessed he was from a First-Rank Clan, others would believe it!
How could they be outdated? Nonsense!
"Another point is that being the leader of this team isn't easy. First, you need to balance the various clans, then balance the brotherhood, and thirdly, you must have what others lack and be willing to share. Fourth, you should know what others don't, and be willing to share. Fifth, take care of each brother, and sixth, have an excellent grasp of the big picture, a holistic view, and a spirit of sacrifice and dedication."
"On this point, I have the latter, but I lack the former!"
Fang Che laughed.
"If I continue to be the leader, it will turn into you guys constantly using your clan resources to aid me. Once resources are shared among brothers, there's no way to monopolize them."
"It's only right for the leader to distribute resources for equal division, but if the brothers only extend their hands, what would that make us?"
"I can't provide that much for you guys."
Fang Che spread his hands, "So, this leader won't be me."
The crowd's faces turned somber.
Currently, the only one who could firmly suppress everyone, making them all submit willingly, was Fang Che.
If it were someone else, even Yu Zhongge could spit in their faces at any time.
Under such circumstances, how could one lead?
It was utterly hopeless.
"There's one more thing you've overlooked. The five of you are a team for the Newcomer Grand Tournament. After such a fierce battle, you five naturally formed a team. And during this time, I won't be around, you understand this."
"So, I'm clarifying things now."
Fang Che spoke earnestly, "To avoid any misunderstandings later on."
"Whoever wants to be the leader, then during this time, use your strength, prowess, and abilities to impress and gain recognition!"
"Starting tomorrow, our battles will be against each other. It's me against the five of you!"
Fang Che said, "You can treat me as an opponent from another Martial Academy. Your team of five must form quickly! Otherwise, you won't just miss out on honors but will also lose face!"
"You'll lose your faces, my face, and the Martial Academy's reputation!"
Fang Che chuckled, "I'm done talking, I'm heading home first. It's been several days since I've been home, you guys continue."
He stood up and left.
Yu Zhongge's expression was complex.
Fang Che waved goodbye, walking away with a carefree stride.
The sky was already darkening.
The last ray of light shone upon the small training ground where Mo Gaiyun and the others were located.
Fang Che walked against the light, his silhouette quickly disappearing into the darkness ahead.
Suddenly, darkness engulfed the world.
...
The seven individuals in the shadows sighed inwardly.
Fang Che was excluded from the team, unable to participate in the tournament.
Everyone knew about this.
But no one expected that Fang Che, just after recovering, would swiftly and decisively handle the team's affairs.
Moreover, he managed it exceptionally well.
He pointed out everyone's hidden thoughts.
He clarified their future positions.
Then, he made his demands and pointed out their shortcomings.
He even resolved Xie Gongping's inner demons.
Today, he resolved all potential issues that might arise in the future.
Lastly, he tied everyone together, whether they liked it or not, by appealing to the Martial Academy's reputation.
One could say it was the pinnacle of perfection.
However, because of this, the seven individuals felt it was a pity.
Such a natural-born leadership talent, excluded from this moment on.
But what they didn't know was that Fang Che never intended to be this leader.
Because his path was different.
He also couldn't genuinely take on this leadership role.
If Fang Che became the leader, then the team's future dangers would increase geometrically.
Moreover, due to Fang Che's identity, Mo Gaiyun and the others wouldn't be trusted.
The Only Me Sect wouldn't show mercy.
Mo Gaiyun and the others, by Fang Che's side, had no position and no future prospects.
It was better to seize this opportunity to detach and remotely command.
When there was time, he would teach them a lesson.
Being an 'honorary leader' who remained detached was preferable.
Usually, he wouldn't interfere, but when Fang Che spoke, everyone would listen attentively.
This was the outcome Fang Che desired.
Everyone felt Fang Che was a pity.
Only Fang Che knew that this perception, 'Fang Che is a pity,' was advantageous for him.
On the way, Fang Che eagerly sent a message to Seal God Palace.
"Reporting to the Grandmaster, this subordinate, Night Demon, reports. I have recovered, and I feel that everything is fine now. Moreover, my Divine Perception seems to have strengthened, which is a real benefit. Rest assured, Grandmaster. I am now a Sixth-Rank Primordial Great Master, and I will quickly advance to the General Rank! I am becoming more confident."
After editing, he sent the message.
He made no mention of the injustice and suffering he had endured, as if it were a good thing that had happened to him, and he described it lightly.
This is how one should behave towards their superiors. Even if the leader knows what you have been through, this is not the time to complain. The more you complain, the more annoyed they become.
The lighter the description, the more the leader feels that this person is reliable.
Sure enough, the Seal God Palace was very pleased upon receiving the message.
He immediately replied, "You must have suffered a lot, right?"
Fang Che chuckled and immediately replied, "Not really, I didn’t even notice, just passed out for a bit."
The Seal God Palace's expression brightened, and he cursed, "This little brat, unconscious for six days and almost became a vegetable, and he still says he didn’t feel anything. Yeah, sure, you were unconscious, what could you feel?"
So, he replied lightly, "Understood, work hard, take care of Wood Venerable."
Thinking about it, he changed 'Wood Venerable' to 'Second Master,' then sent it.
Putting away the Messaging Jade, he walked out with his hands behind his back, floatingly.
The Seal God Palace tried his best to maintain the image of 'I am still as furious as before, can't be restrained,' but was still noticed to be different.
Hou Fang came up, "Grandmaster seems to be in a good mood today?"
The Seal God Palace was furious, "What the hell is going on, everything is going wrong!"
Hou Fang winked, "Grandmaster is in a great mood."
"Get out!"
The Seal God Palace kicked Hou Fang away.
Damn it, I rarely feel good for a whole day, and this guy comes to provoke me.
"
The Seal God Palace: ? ? ?
What did I do?
Why can everyone tell I’m in a good mood?
I am clearly known for not showing my emotions, remaining unperturbed even if a mountain collapses before me! How did I slip up?
What he didn’t know was that the pressure the Night Demon incident had brought him was like a mountain or a sea, involving too many things!
These past few days, he kept asking and kept getting bad news, his heart always on edge.
Now, with the sudden relief, the dramatic ups and downs required time to settle, no matter how deep his composure.
Moreover, he was eager to get out and take a breath, making it even more obvious.
"Lord Bei’s injuries have also improved a lot."
The Seal God Palace smiled, "That’s great news."
He leaned forward and looked closely, saying, "This Gun Intent injury healing so fast shows how profound Lord Bei’s cultivation is, and it has advanced further."
Lord Bei was also very pleased, "Though I was injured this time, it proved that Dong Chang Feng’s old injury hasn’t healed, his Gun Intent is quite lacking, even flawed, and its power is even less than before; also, I have gained some insights into Gun Intent, so next time I meet Dong Chang Feng, I will definitely slay him!"
The Seal God Palace laughed heartily, "It’s a pity Lord Bei needs to hide his identity, or he would have already challenged the Cloud Armament Rankings. That’s a bit unfortunate."
Lord Bei harrumphed, paused, then said, "Since the injuries aren’t so serious, in a few days, I will also set out to return."
"About that Ancient Jade..." the Seal God Palace asked.
"No need to look for it."
Lord Bei’s eyes turned cold, "The Headquarters has sent word that the Ancient Jade has been soul-bound and vanished from the world, unable to be traced."
The Seal God Palace sighed deeply, "Such a divine object, to fall into the hands of a petty thief! Truly regrettable, truly regrettable!"
He looked up at Ren Zhongyuan beside Lord Bei, "Zhongyuan, take good care of Lord Bei. Don’t worry about sect matters for now; everything should revolve around Lord Bei. Also... these past few days, I’ve obtained some Cloud Mist Roots, which you like the most. I’ve had someone send them to you, so you can see them when you return."
Ren Zhongyuan was grateful, "Thank you, Grandmaster."
The Seal God Palace laughed, "We’ve been brothers for years, it’s only right."
He then said, "Lord Bei’s visit to our sect is an honor for the Only Me Sect. The Divine Palace has also prepared some gifts. Please don’t refuse them, take them with you when you leave."
Lord Bei said deeply, "Thank you, Grandmaster, for your thoughtfulness."
"There’s also Liu Brother who died in battle..."
The Seal God Palace sighed, "I’ve also prepared some cultivation resources and living supplies for his family and children. Please, the three of you, take them for me."
The three guards behind Lord Bei were moved, "Thank you, Grandmaster."
"No need to be so formal."
The Seal God Palace bowed and then took his leave.
Watching the Seal God Palace walk away, Lord Bei kept his eyes on his back, saying softly, "Zhongyuan, it’s hard for you."
Ren Zhongyuan was silent for a moment, "I have to try."
"These flawless moves, this meticulous mind... hard to deal with."
Lord Bei said, "But in the next two months, you have your greatest opportunity, the Incubation to Divinity Program. Are you sure you have all the General Rank members of the Only Me Sect under control?"
"Absolutely, completely sure!"
