Chapter 247 - 100: Walking Beside the King
Chapter 247 - 100: Walking Beside the King
Imperial University.
There was a group of people waiting at the entrance, led by Fang Ruxue and Fang Qingzhou.
"Recently, your Innovation Association has been making great strides." Fang Qingzhou looked at his cousin Fang Ruxue.
Fang Ruxue was looking at her watch and said indifferently, "It’s much more vibrant than those clubs of the past.
The rate of students going to the Abyss and completing related tasks has just spanned these ten days or so.
It’s already risen by nearly three levels."
Fang Qingzhou toyed with a dagger in his hand, listening to Fang Ruxue’s reply, shaking his head, "That’s because the objectives are different.
Previously, Zhenyuan and the others’ aim was not to train students; it was a place for numerous forces to dig for talent."
"It was only Shen Fei who shattered this system."
Fang Ruxue said coldly, "Putting the cart before the horse, engaging in petty scrambles from the start of training, such a system can hardly cultivate any strong individuals."
"No wonder in recent years, those who have made a name for themselves at Tier Nine and Tier Ten all come from North and West China."
"You’re the leader; what you say goes. But your actions have stirred quite a controversy at home." Fang Qingzhou smiled.
"Don’t forget, you’re also a member of the Fang Family."
Fang Qingzhou tossed the dagger in his hand and caught it again, "Originally, I heard the club over there sent the Dragon Emperor of the Xuu Family intending to suppress Shen Fei."
"But unexpectedly, Shen Fei’s backing is even stronger. War God Luo..."
At this, even the calm Fang Qingzhou was filled with envy and admiration, this was the favor of a Tier Ten, even a personal disciple.
The key is that this is War God Luo.
Even the Fang Family has Tier Ten figures, like their great-grandfather, but their great-grandfather has more than one disciple.
His disciples spread throughout the club and the world, which indeed seems impressively networked, but even Fang Ruxue, the leader of this Fang Family generation.
Has not received very good resources, because the meat is scant and the wolves are many; maintaining a network requires resource consumption.
Otherwise.
Why are these aristocratic families like gluttons, devouring various resources?
But Shen Fei is War God Luo’s sole disciple.
This news may not be apparent in society, but among the children of these aristocratic families, and numerous high-level figures, it is quite well known.
Adding to that, Shen Fei’s position in the Breaking Abyss Army.
With just Shen Fei alone, there are two Tier Ten figures backing him, while Meng Zhengguo might need to make concessions due to various interests.
But War God Luo is truly without constraints.
Even not mentioning her strength, just her status is among the top in the Heavenly Pride Club.
Even if she hasn’t joined the Heavenly Pride Club, no one from there openly offends her.
Who dares to bully the weak with the strong, see if you can face War God Luo’s challenge.
"Strength, talent, and background all in one, it’s no wonder he can succeed." Fang Qingzhou sighed.
Suddenly, he looked at Fang Ruxue with a strange gaze, "Hey, do you think the family might want you to marry Shen Fei?"
Fang Ruxue was still dealing with logistics matters, hearing Fang Qingzhou’s words.
Her beautiful eyes widened, "He’s already married, mind your words!"
"No matter how beautiful the relationship, it can’t compare to interests, now Shen Fei has two Tier Ten backers, if he could marry you.
He would also be part of the Fang Family, and with the family’s support...his achievements would be limitless."
"And isn’t this the old routine? Even if Shen Fei is temporarily unwilling, the family might want you to go."
Fang Qingzhou spoke, "Like Aunt Qing Luan, who also didn’t rely on the family but became a King on her own."
"Do you think Shen Fei’s vision would consider the Fang Family?"
Fang Ruxue said coldly.
"Who can say for sure." Fang Qingzhou smiled.
While Fang Ruxue wanted to say something, at this moment there came a sound of something breaking through the air from above the sky.
The crowd saw a giant sword sweeping across the sky, just as a few people emerged from inside the school.
Leading was Zhong Yan.
After all, a King’s visit, even if at the same level, Zhong Yan still had to greet.
"Welcome Chaotic Sword King to our school." Zhong Yan laughed heartily.
From the sky atop the giant sword came Fang Qingluan’s cold voice, "Director Zhong, no need for this, I just came to see the juniors today.
And to revisit my alma mater, plus, I brought one of your students back."
"Student?"
Zhong Yan was momentarily stunned.
Fang Ruxue and the others were curious, the student Fang Qingluan brought?
"Sister Qing Luan took a disciple? Which student is so important to have Sister Qing Luan bring them back?"
Fang Qingzhou asked quietly on the side.
Fang Ruxue was also a bit curious, as she had a fairly good relationship with Fang Qingluan as a child.
It’s just that later Fang Qingluan got into a fallout with the family, but she and Fang Qingluan still kept in touch.
This morning she received a message from Fang Qingluan saying she would visit.
She didn’t mention bringing someone along as well.
The giant sword descended.
The two figures on the sword came into view of everyone, a glint of shock flashed in Zhong Yan’s eyes.
"Shen Fei?"
The others felt the same.
Faces filled with astonishment.
Ah?
"How did Shen Fei come back with Sister Qing Luan?" Fang Qingzhou was also taken aback.
Fang Ruxue, however, was understanding, "So the leader’s absence these days was due to visiting the Corpse Stiff Abyss..."
Suddenly.
Fang Ruxue remembered the situation of the Corpse Stiff Abyss to be quite severe, as there were even wind talks among the family.
Though she doesn’t like the various political matters in the family, she is, after all, the leader of this generation.
She still has to know about them.
Recently, it seems the family plans to compete with the Breaking Abyss Army for some of the Abyss’s guardianship rights.
And the Heavenly Pride Club also intends to use this to exchange for some benefits.
The sudden return of Fang Qingluan indicates that the crisis of the Corpse Stiff Abyss has been resolved, plus Fang Qingluan and Shen Fei returned together.
The result can only be one thing.
Shen Fei has resolved the problem of the Corpse Stiff Abyss.
Fang Ruxue and Fang Qingzhou exchanged a glance and both noticed the shock in each other’s eyes.
They also noticed that when the two came down, Fang Qingluan and Shen Fei were walking side by side.
They both felt there was nothing wrong with it.
If it was the same rank among Kings, perhaps there’s nothing wrong.
But regardless of status and power, considering Fang Qingluan’s status and strength, Shen Fei should fall behind by a step.
Yet now Fang Qingluan did not feel anything amiss.
"Could it be that Shen Fei already has the strength of a King?"
Fang Ruxue speculated silently but quickly dismissed it. Currently, everyone guessed Shen Fei’s strength to still be at the Venerable level.
The gap between a King and a Venerable is one tier, which is not easily crossed.
Zhong Yan had also heard about the crisis in the Corpse Stiff Abyss.
They must go if necessary, but the original guardian Fang Qingluan was actually replaced.
"I fear Shen Fei quietly did something big again."
Zhong Yan, seeing Fang Qingluan’s expression, had a thought cross his mind.
With so many people present, Shen Fei laughed and said, "It seems Sister Qingluan has quite the grand presence."
Fang Qingluan replied indifferently, "If you revealed all your strength, you could achieve the same. You might even consider a title beforehand."
"That’s not necessary. After all, I’m still just a student. I’ll head back first, then."
"Hmm." Fang Qingluan nodded.
"Director Zhong."
Shen Fei greeted, and Zhong Yan smiled and asked, "Shen Fei, how did you come back with the Chaotic Sword King?"
"Coincidence. I didn’t expect such a big scene; I’ll head back first."
"Alright."
Although Zhong Yan was curious, now even he couldn’t control Shen Fei.
Some matters, he had to discuss with Shen Fei.
Right now, Shen Fei still needed to see the changes in the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable, so he quickly greeted Fang Ruxue and the others before leaving.
Fang Qingluan withdrew her gaze from Shen Fei’s back, turned to Zhong Yan, and said, "Thank you, Director Zhong. I’ll chat with my younger generation now."
"No trouble at all. Then I’ll leave you to it, Chaotic Sword King."
Zhong Yan nodded and also left with his people. He was only here to host Fang Qingluan, although Shen Fei’s appearance gave him a bit of a surprise.
"Let’s go, Xiao Xue."
Fang Qingluan signaled to Fang Ruxue, who nodded repeatedly and joined Fang Qingluan’s side, smiling, "Aunt Qingluan, how did you come back with the Leader?"
"Leader? I heard Zhenyuan was challenged? Could it be a new society Shen Fei established?"
Due to recent pressure on the garrison, she mentioned it only briefly to Fang Ruxue when she returned.
She wasn’t familiar with the development of Imperial University in this period.
Even knowing Zhenyuan was challenged came from Mu Qing’s mouth.
"That’s right!" Fang Ruxue and Fang Qingluan talked about the changes in various societies and how Shen Fei single-handedly pushed the five major societies, established the Innovation Association, and so on...
Fang Qingluan nodded lightly as she listened but suddenly noticed the admiration occasionally flashing across Fang Ruxue’s face.
"Hey, Xiao Ruxue, this is the first time I’ve seen you admire a peer. Could it be..."
Fang Qingluan raised her eyebrow.
Fang Ruxue shook her head repeatedly, "I just admire him.
Originally, with his strength, honestly integrating into many organizations would surely lift him to high positions.
Yet he still stood against the Heavenly Pride Club, pushing reforms."
Fang Qingluan thought of Shen Fei’s strength and laughed, "Actually, if it could really succeed, it wouldn’t be half bad.
Shen Fei’s talent, temperament, background, and strength can be called the first among his peers."
Fang Ruxue couldn’t help but comment when she heard Fang Qingluan, "Aunt, you used to hate these things the most."
"But Shen Fei is different." Fang Qingluan thought about all that happened in the Corpse Stiff Abyss.
Fang Ruxue, along with Fang Qingzhou and other Fang Family members behind, were all stunned.
The conflict between Fang Qingluan and the Fang Family from the marriage was known throughout the Imperial Capital.
Now Fang Qingluan actually thinks an alliance with Shen Fei is possible.
What on earth happened?
"There’s no way, the Leader is already married."
"Married?"
This time it was Fang Qingluan’s turn to be stunned; so young and already married?
At this time, even Fang Qingzhou couldn’t help but say, "And his wife... well, her strength and looks surpass the leader’s."
Fang Ruxue, fuming, said, "What do you mean better than me; thirty years east, thirty years west (time changes). Her strength now may be better.
But who knows about the future! As for appearance, huh, on the school flower list, I’m the first."
"Uh. That’s because no one dared put Su Muyu in for comparison." Fang Qingzhou ruthlessly shattered Fang Ruxue’s illusion.
"Huh?"
Upon hearing the name ’Su Muyu,’ Fang Qingluan asked in confusion, "His wife is Su Muyu?"
"Hmm. Do you know her, Aunt?"
"Impressive person. So he was roundaboutly praising his wife.
When we returned, I asked him who besides him could be first in this session aside from Xiao Ruxue.
Then he said there was also Su Muyu... he never mentioned she was his wife."
Fang Qingluan shook her head but thought about how Shen Fei mentioned Su Muyu with a smile.
"Let’s not talk about this anymore."
Fang Qingluan changed the topic and began chatting with Fang Ruxue about family matters.
