As Yang Su and the rest were closely observing the Soul Art with curious eyes, meanwhile, Bai Xiaofung turned to Xi Shen who had sat next to him and in a bemoaning voice said, “Brother Shen, it’s so haaaard.” Bai Xiaofung then broke down in tears to the utter dumbfoundment of Xi Shen. Looking at his disheveled hair, ruffled close, and the dark circles under his eyes, Xi Shen gave Bai Xiaofung a strange look. While in tears, Bai Xiaofung would take gulps of wine from his cup between his sobbing. The expression on Xi Shen’s face didn’t leave as he turned from Bai Xiaofung to look at everyone else. He saw that they had bitter expressions on their face as if they had been dealing with Bai Xiaofung, who was like this, all afternoon. Turning back to a distraught-looking Bai Xiaofung, Xi Shen forced a smile and asked, “Brother Fung, what has gotten you like this?” Bai Xiaofung looked up, and with tears and an awful amount of snot coming from his nose, his lips trembled uncontrollably be

“Wooaah!!”“He did it!! Shiming did it, he beat the last opponent!!”“That’s the fourth Faction they beat on our Sword Pavilion, to think they were this powerful!”The Sword Pavilion mountain had its own private training grounds and this was where the Ming Academy disciples chose to hold the Faction against Faction battles.A disciple who was nearby suddenly snorted and said derisively, “Are all of you a bunch of fucking idiots? Why are you all cheering that we lost? Aren't you ashamed that they manage to beat four of our Factions? All of you don’t deserve to be disciples of the Sword Pavilion.”Hearing those words, the few disciples who were cheering at the Ming Clan’s victory looked around them to see various of their fellow disciples staring at them with anger and contempt. It was completely humiliating that they lost all their matches until now, but these bastards were even cheering on the enemy who came into their home and was ransacking the place!Xi Shen looked over at this sce

On the stairs leading up the Sword Pavilion mountain peak, a tall slender-looking youth that seemed as if the slightest breeze could blow him over was claiming them.The disciple who he passed would stop and stare at him in confusion and with perplexed looks on their face, some would even show a minute amount of hostility.This reaction from these Sword Pavilion disciples was because of the signature red robes of the Blade Pavilion, which were comically about to slip off of him due to his thin frame. This youth who looked around fifteen or sixteen years old had a stern look on his face. He looked like a disciplined youth who would earnestly work hard on his cultivation and Saber Skills, but at the same time would forsake everything in the outside world. Neither participating in social interactions nor thinking that it was worth his time to do such things.So between his eyebrows, one could decern that he was someone who didn’t grasp normal human behavior or etiquette. He had distanced

“Mu Fan, this is not the time to deal with your nonsense, we are in the middle of a spar. And I assure you I have no idea what you're talking about, I didn’t pressure your Mu Clan.”“Of course you did you bastard! I’m sure you did! Someone from your Ming Clan came to my Clan and have my father sign a Blood Oath Contract that says he relinquish his position as the Clan Head!!”“What does that have to do with me, and why would I do that? I have no interest in your Clan affairs to have your father relinquish his position as Clan Leader. You really are crazy after all, this is just a misunderstanding but you went ahead a react like this. How do you even know that it was someone from our Ming Clan and not some conflict happening within your Clan itself?”Just by listening to his story, Shiming could understand what was going on. He was sure his Ming Clan hadn’t done something like that, even with this crazy bastard's personality, they still wanted to win over someone of his talents to thei

At the entrance of the Celestial Academy Mu Fan finally came to a stop to Xi Shen's relief.Looking around for a moment, Mu Fan then turned to Xi Shen and said, “Alright take out one of your treasures and let’s go to my Clan, come-on come-on there’s no time to waste.”Mu Fan said urgingly to Xi Shen.Xi Shen looked at him and asked, “Where's yours?”“Huh? Mine? I don’t have one, do you think I could afford one when I could barely clothe myself.”Mu Fan pointed at his tattered red robes as he said that.“So how do go on missions? Don’t you need a Flying Spirit Artifact to travel to most places?”“Nope, I don’t go on missions. As a Chosen, I’m exempt from completing mandatory assignments from the Academy.”Mandatory assignments, for example, was where disciples were supposed to accept a certain amount of missions per year, and a few other things that the Academy deemed necessary for its disciples to complete.Xi Shen wasn’t surprised that Mu Fan was a Chosen, it would be weird if he was
