Chapter 66: I'm Not a Child, Please Protect Me
Chapter 66: I'm Not a Child, Please Protect Me
Duan Qingyao was speechless and shocked.
However, these Elders, unlike ordinary disciples, were aware of the true rules of the Moonseizing Sect.
And for this reason, although she was speechless, she could somewhat guess that there was 'a hidden story' behind this. But they had no way of knowing what that story was.
As for the seven Auspicious Beasts, they were completely unaware, and because of this, they were all the more puzzled!
Qiu Yongqin couldn't help but take a step forward and said, "Brother Fan, you are a Direct Disciple, and although you joined later, I should still address you as Senior Brother."
"Logically, my status is not as high as yours, and in such a situation, I have no right to speak, but I really can't bear to watch this any longer. There's something I must say!"
At first, his words were a bit hesitant.
But soon, his speech became more fluent.
Fan Jianqiang was merely curious and said, "Speak without fear."
"Senior Brother!"
Qiu Yongqin took a deep breath and said, "As a Direct Disciple, you should strive to improve your strength and work hard to make the Sect flourish!"
"You've been here for over two months, but from my observations, you've been idle and lack ambition. Since you joined, your cultivation hasn't progressed at all!"
"When you joined, we were all at the beginning of the Essence Condensation Realm, but now, through my hard work, I've reached the later stages of the Essence Condensation Realm. You, however, are still at the early stages, and your realm is even somewhat unstable. I really can't imagine what you've been doing all this time."
"The heavens are indifferent, and all things are sacrificed for its sake!"
"Cultivation goes against the heavens, and without progress, there is regression. As the Lord's Direct Disciple, you are so lax in your cultivation, this is truly..."
"Sigh!"
"If this is the case, then with such an opportunity, we should have the courage to face danger and clear obstacles. But you keep making excuses, showing such timidity. Why is this?"
"As cultivators, how can we lack the courage to face danger and overcome challenges?"
Qiu Yongqin sighed, "Lord, this disciple has overstepped his bounds."
The other six Auspicious Beasts exchanged glances, feeling embarrassed, but they also admired Qiu Yongqin's courage.
In truth, they also had their doubts about Fan Jianqiang, as they saw him as someone who was always idle and wandering around!
Like some damn chicken, roaming around.
They even felt that Fan Jianqiang had left his footprints on every inch of the twenty-five Spirit Mountains of the Moonseizing Sect.
But here he was, a Direct Disciple, receiving treatment several times better than theirs, yet his cultivation speed was slower than theirs? With such an opportunity, you're still afraid!
Who could accept this?
Facing Qiu Yongqin's doubts, Lin Fan felt helpless.
He couldn't very well reveal his strategy of 'surviving and thriving,' could he?
But he softly said, "Regarding the doubts of fellow disciples, you shouldn't let it affect your determination."
Fan Jianqiang replied, "I, as a disciple, truly don't care about these things."
"Let others look down on me."
"As long as the Lord doesn't send me down the mountain, I will forever be a member of the Moonseizing Sect."
Lin Fan's forehead wrinkled.
Qiu Yongqin couldn't hold back, "Brother Fan, are you putting the Lord on the hot seat?"
"If everyone was as afraid as you, how would the Sect develop?"
"If everyone was like you, how would the Sect handle a crisis?"
"And if faced with an insurmountable danger, would you really not resist to the death, but instead hide or even flee?"
"Haha, you're right. If there's truly an unavoidable risk, not only will I escape, but I'll also suggest that everyone flee separately." Fan Jianqiang replied nonchalantly.
"Since it's already an unavoidable danger, if we don't flee immediately, do we all have to stay and be buried together, sacrificing the entire lineage?"
"As long as we survive, we can slowly plan our next move. Even if only one or two of us escape, as long as we have the will, we can find opportunities to rebuild the sect or develop in secret..."
"Which choice is better than everyone staying to be buried with the sect?"
"Never mind the others, let's take our own sect, Moonseizing Sect, as an example. If everyone acted as you suggested, stubbornly defending and resisting to the death, would the Moonseizing Sect still exist today?"
"Would you still be a disciple of the Moonseizing Sect?"
As he spoke, Fan Jianqiang chuckled, "What I despise the most are those who think they're smart but are actually stupid. They think they're loyal and passionate, and they even move themselves."
"Unfortunately, the only one they move is themselves."
"It's just self-deception."
These words left Qiu Yongqin speechless.
The others also looked at each other, feeling like their worldview had been shattered.
But you have to admit, there's some truth to what he said.
This kid's words are clearly about being afraid of death, but they do make some sense.
At least, it's not just nonsense!
Seeing Qiu Yongqin remain silent, his face turning red, and even his Dao heart seemed to be on the verge of collapse, Fan Jianqiang suddenly chuckled, "Oh dear, I've embarrassed myself in front of everyone."
"I am indeed afraid of death. What I said earlier was just nonsense, so please don't take it to heart."
"Qiu Shidi, how about I call you Shixiong from now on?"
"I'm not a child, and my cultivation is extremely slow. If there's any danger in the future, please protect me, Shixiong."
This sudden change in him and his shameless words left everyone speechless once again.
For a moment, they didn't know what to say.
But Lin Fan had expected this from him.
You can't expect him to be serious, and you want to awaken his passion?
Are you kidding?
"Since no one has anything else to say,"
"Then it's settled."
Lin Fan, with a cheerful expression, looked at Fan Jianqiang, "You're coming with us."
"Don't worry, I'll be there."
Fan Jianqiang: "Huh?!"
...
Qiu Yongqin hung his head low, and the seven elders also felt a bit heavy-hearted. On their way back to the inner sect, they 'accidentally' met Xiao Ling'er.
Seeing their state, Xiao Ling'er approached them, "Don't overthink it."
"Fan Shidi..."
"It's not as you think. He's just a bit special."
Xiao Ling'er also knew the inside story, at least half of it.
Although she was certain that Fan Jianqiang wasn't as simple as he appeared on the surface, she didn't know the specific details, so she could only offer this consolation.
"Moreover, his words are actually for your own good."
"Passion and loyalty are, of course, of utmost importance, but being too rigid can lead to fragility. At certain times, you also need to be flexible."
"Being flexible will undoubtedly make things easier, and it will also... be much safer!"
"..."
After saying this, Xiao Ling'er left.
Most of these words were Liang Danxia's admonitions to her, but she passed them on to her fellow disciples without changing a word.
"Teacher."
"What gift did you mention?"
"Hehe."
Liang Danxia smiled, "Unusual Flame."
"Unusual Flame?!"
Xiao Ling'er was shocked, "You?!"
