Chapter 325: Reunion with Zhang Xiaofan
At this moment, the other disciples who were also kneeling on the ground pleading for Zhang Fan exchanged glances, and then secretly glanced at Su Ru standing next to Tian Buyi.
Su Ru seized the opportunity to wink at Zhang Fan, signaling him to quickly pull Zhang Fan down. Otherwise, even if Tian Buyi didn't say anything, given Zhang Fan's taciturn nature, he might keep kneeling there indefinitely!
"Master, we disciples will take our leave now!" After saying this, the eldest disciple, Song Daren, grabbed Zhang Fan's arm and tried to drag him away.
"Hiss~~"
Just then, an extremely sharp whooshing sound rang out from beyond the horizon!
"Hmm? Such fast sword speed!" Upon hearing the sound of a sword flash, Tian Buyi couldn't help but be slightly taken aback, then murmured, "Someone is still flying here on a sword at this time. Could it be that the sect leader has some urgent matter that requires my attention?"
"Mother, that voice is so piercing!" Tian Ling'er couldn't help but cover her ears. "Who is this person? How come his voice is so much louder than mine when he's flying on his sword?"
Su Ru couldn't help but poke the forehead of her silly daughter in her arms and laughed, "Silly child, you've only just reached the realm of controlling objects, your cultivation is still very shallow, I'm afraid you can't reach this speed yet."
"The reason the other party is making so much noise is because he is flying too fast on his sword! Moreover, the person who came is probably just a disciple, and his cultivation level is not that high."
"Otherwise, if it were someone from your father's generation, they would not only be much faster than him, but they would also be able to completely eliminate the sound, leaving no trace!"
"Let's go! Let's see who's come to our Dazhu Peak!" Tian Buyi said, and took the lead and walked out.
When he reached the door, he saw Zhang Fan still kneeling obediently on the ground. He couldn't help but sigh again and said angrily, "Get up! What kind of behavior is it to kneel there like that?"
"Yes! Your disciple obeys!" Zhang Fan obediently stood up.
His appearance is quite ordinary, but it is also quite remarkable. Although he is not as fair-skinned and handsome as Li Ling, he is sincere and the type that makes people feel good at first glance. Otherwise, he would not have been able to hook up with so many girls in the story.
Soon everyone saw the newcomer descend from above with a streak of blue light. Those with good eyesight could clearly see the newcomer's figure in mid-air.
Upon seeing this person, Tian Buyi couldn't help but shudder. He then turned to look at Zhang Fan, revealing an expression of disbelief.
Tian Ling'er, who was closest to him, clearly heard her father mutter to himself: "In just two short years, how has this boy reached the same level of object manipulation as Ling'er!"
Tian Ling'er couldn't help but ask curiously, "Father, who's here?"
"Hmph!" Tian Buyi suddenly became angry and shouted, "Seventh Brother! I'm here to see you!"
Zhang Fan was momentarily stunned, and Su Ru was also slightly taken aback, exclaiming softly, "It's the Dragon-Slaying Sword! It's actually the Dragon-Slaying Sword!!!"
"Hmph, that old fellow Cangsong is really willing to spend!" Tian Buyi snorted coldly, turned his sleeves behind his back, and strode into Shoujing Hall.
At this moment, the sword light finally landed in the courtyard in front of Shoujing Hall, and it was Li Ling.
Upon seeing Li Ling, Zhang Fan couldn't help but feel surprised and excited, exclaiming, "Ah Ling!"
"What?!" Apart from Su Ru, all of his senior brothers present couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
They had all heard from Zhang Fan that Caomiao Village had suffered a tragedy, and the person who had narrowly escaped with him was named 'Li Ling', who had been taken in as a disciple by Cangsong of Longshou Peak.
But shouldn't he have joined Dragon Head Peak at the same time as Zhang Fan? It's been two years since then. Zhang Fan is still struggling in the first level of Jade Purity Realm, how come this kid can already fly on a sword!
Moreover, his skill is so proficient that he is clearly not someone who has just entered the fourth level of the Object Manipulation Realm. At the very least, his junior sister Tian Ling'er could not do what he does so skillfully.
Looking at the excited young man ahead, Li Ling smiled and waved, saying, "Fan, I've come to see you."
After finishing, Li Ling turned his gaze slightly, but did not find Tian Buyi, whom he had met once in the main hall two years ago. He couldn't help but be slightly taken aback. However, when he saw the beautiful woman standing behind Tian Ling'er, he immediately understood who she was.
Li Ling bowed and said, "Disciple Li Ling of Dragon Head Peak greets Martial Uncle Su! Greetings to all senior brothers!"
"Are you Li Ling, who went up the mountain with Fan?" Su Ru asked.
"This disciple is indeed correct!"
"What you hold in your hand, alas, is clearly the Dragon Slayer Sword! I was just asking a question I already knew the answer to." Su Ru couldn't help but sigh, and then fell silent.
At this moment, Tian Ling'er, who was standing in front of Su Ru, couldn't help but jump out and said in feigned anger, "You brat, since you are Fan's companion, then you are naturally my junior brother. Why did you greet your senior brothers and my mother but not me?"
Li Ling knew she wasn't really angry, so he smiled and said, "Senior Sister Tian is exceptionally beautiful. A beauty like you is naturally meant to be greeted last. Your brother Li Ling greets Senior Sister Tian!"
"Hmph, that's more like it! I ask you, you came alone on your sword just now, but I remember you joined the Qingyun Sect with Fan just two years ago, didn't you? Could it be that you have already cultivated to the fourth level of the Jade Purity Realm in just two years?"
Tian Ling'er's seemingly direct question voiced the thoughts of everyone, including Zhang Fan.
Li Ling smiled slightly and said, "I have been cultivating diligently during this period of time, and with the guidance of my master, I have been fortunate enough to break through to the fourth level of the Jade Purity Realm!"
Even though they had already expected it, everyone was still surprised by Li Ling's words. Except for Su Ru, who maintained her seniority, everyone else was somewhat doubting their own existence.
While Zhang Fan was happy and smiling for Li Ling, he seemed to remember his own stagnant cultivation level and couldn't help but show a hint of sadness.
The straightforward Tian Ling'er exclaimed in disbelief, "How is this possible! You only used two years?"
Thinking back to how she had been cultivating diligently since she was old enough to understand, despite being called a prodigy, she had never been lazy in her cultivation. In nearly ten years, she had only reached the fourth level of the Jade Purity Realm.
In the past, everyone who saw her would praise her as remarkable, but compared to the person in front of her, she found it hard to accept for a moment.
"Cangsong's teachings are effective? Are you implying that my teachings are ineffective?" A furious question suddenly came from inside Shoujing Hall.
Everyone turned to look at Li Ling. Clearly, although Tian Buyi hadn't shown himself, he had been paying close attention to what was happening here.
Tian Buyi and Cangsong had been at odds for a while, constantly vying with each other. Li Ling's self-deprecating remark had clearly triggered Tian Buyi's anger, causing him to blurt out a question.
