Chapter 4 - Survival of the strong for the fittest!
The sound came from far away and soon came to Chu Ye.
The moment he saw this person, Chu Ye's expression suddenly changed. The person who came was none other than Fang Xuan, the elder of the outer cabinet.
If they were just elders, Chu Ye wouldn't care. Most elders are upright and would not fight against students. But Fang Xuan is different, because he is Fang Hua's father!
A large part of the reason why Fang Hua is strong is due to Fang Xuan's help. As an elder of the outer cabinet, he has all kinds of natural and earthly treasures, and Fang Hua can get them without spending a penny.
Therefore, Fang Xuan's appearance made Chu Ye feel a little uneasy. He had just beaten his son, and even though he was being reasonable, if Fang Xuan really wanted to punish him, there was nothing he could do.
An elder has a very high status in this outer cabinet.
As expected, Fang Xuan glanced at the embarrassed Fang Hua first, then came to Chu Ye with a livid face and asked, "Can you explain to me what's going on here?"
Hearing this, Chu Ye smiled bitterly in his heart. How could he explain it? Could he say in front of his father that his son had nothing to do to provoke him?
Although this is indeed the case, if Chu Ye really said this, the consequences can be imagined.
After thinking about it, Chu Ye said calmly, "Go back to the elders, Senior Brother Fang Hua wants to have a discussion with me."
Fang Xuan frowned; "Sparring? We are competing in the cafeteria. Do you think this reason can be justified?"
Chu Ye sighed softly; "What Chu Ye said is true, but how the elder understands it is beyond Chu Ye's control."
"Listening to your tone, do you think I am seeking personal gain?" Fang Xuan looked at Chu Ye coldly. Facing the pressure of such powerful people, Chu Ye felt uncomfortable all over his body, as if there was a big mountain pressing down on him.
It's weighing you down so much that you can't breathe.
"Isn't it?"
Chu Ye muttered in his heart, but outwardly he shook his head and said, "Chu Ye doesn't dare."
"snort!"
Fang Xuan snorted coldly, "Although I'm old, I'm still not blind. You used a lot of force when you struck just now. If I hadn't appeared in time, your sword would have destroyed Fang Hua. Fighting with the same sect, this is heaven."
The biggest taboo in Ci Sword Pavilion, Chu Ye, you are so brave! According to the pavilion rules, I will abolish your cultivation and then expel you from Tian Ci Sword Pavilion."
What!
Hearing this, Chu Ye was shocked. Fang Xuan's tone did not sound like a joke. He really wanted to do this.
Fang Xuan has just seen that his strength is not weaker than Fang Hua, and he has the ability to defeat Fang Hua. Therefore, in Fang Xuan's eyes, he has been listed as a threat to Fang Hua. If he can find an opportunity to get rid of him, he is
I will never give up.
After thinking about it, Chu Ye said, "Elder Fang, you can indeed have the final say on whether I have violated the pavilion rules. But if you want to abolish my cultivation and expel me from the sword pavilion, you still need the consent of the pavilion master. If the elder really feels that Chu Ye
If Ye is at fault, then we will let the Pavilion Master decide whether the punishment should be carried out as Elder Fang said."
Fang Xuan sneered, "Do you think I'm not qualified to punish you? Let me tell you, on Canglan Mountain, my words are no different from those of the Pavilion Master, and you will be punished as I say!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xuan flashed and grabbed Chu Ye's neck with his big hand. Seeing this, Chu Ye was horrified. Facing an expert of this level, he had no chance of winning. The level difference between the two was too big.
.
But it is definitely not Chu Ye's style to surrender without mercy. Even if he knows he is defeated, he will fight to the death.
boom!
Fang Xuan punched Chu Ye in the chest. It seemed like a simple punch, but Chu Ye's bones almost shattered. Chu Ye's eyes were cold and he shouted angrily, "Elder Fang Xuan, you are using lynching!"
"Lynching? Haha, how dare you, an ant student, preach to me? Today I will clean up the house of Tianci Sword Pavilion!"
Fang Xuan laughed ferociously. He was an elder. Even if he killed Chu Ye here, he would only be scolded by the pavilion master for a few words and would not really punish him. After all, the Jianzun Continent is a world where the strong is respected. The weak will eat the strong.
The truth remains unchanged from time immemorial.
His muscles and bones were in pain all over his body. Chu Ye gritted his teeth and quietly activated his sword across the sky. Even if he was going to die here today, he would bite Fang Xuan before he died.
The punch was so fierce that Fang Xuan only used two points of force for this punch, but his level was much higher than that of Chu Ye. This punch was enough to interrupt Chu Ye's entire body's meridians, turning him into a useless person.
A look of despair gradually appeared in Chu Ye's eyes.
"I didn't expect that I had just died once, would I have to die again?"
Chu Ye smiled bitterly in his heart, human life is too ridiculous in this world. The strong can easily crush the weak to death. Where is the cause and effect? Where is the retribution? As long as you are strong enough, you can do whatever you want and be lawless!
This is the most cruel side of Jianzun Continent, but it is also its most charming side.
However, just when Fang Xuan's fist was about to land on Chu Ye's chest, a clear and awe-inspiring voice suddenly sounded: "Elder Fang Xuan, stop it quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in green clothes appeared in front of everyone like a phantom. When he saw this person, Fang Xuan's expression suddenly changed, and the fist that was about to hit Chu Ye's chest stopped abruptly.
The visitor's name is Lin Qingshan, one of the three powerful people in the outer cabinet. His status is one level higher than Fang Xuan's and second only to the master of the outer cabinet.
In the outer cabinet, Lin Qingshan was known to be impartial, clear-cut between right and wrong, and very powerful. His status in the outer cabinet was extremely high, so Fang Xuan did not dare not listen to his words.
Fang Xuan's expression changed again and again, and he immediately walked to Lin Qingshan, bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Lin came here unexpectedly, and Fang Xuan didn't go out to wait. Please forgive me, Mr. Lin."
Lin Qingshan smiled; "Elder Fang is serious, Lin just passed by here by chance."
After a pause, Lin Qingshan's eyes paused on Chu Ye for a moment, a special look disappeared briefly, and then he asked, "Elder Fang, what's going on here?"
Fang Xuan raised his eyebrows and told Lin Qingshan the reasons before. After listening, the latter said, "Chu Ye, what Elder Fang Xuan said is the truth?"
Hearing this, Chu Ye shook his head; "Chu Ye keeps the rules in mind and will definitely not do anything that violates the rules."
"oh?"
Lin Qingshan glanced at Fang Xuan pointedly: "Elder Fang, did you misunderstand him? I think his tone was calm, and it didn't sound like he was lying."
Fang Xuan was filled with anger, but he did not dare to be too presumptuous in the face of Lin Qingshan; "What Fang Xuan said was indeed what he saw with his own eyes, but Mr. Lin's words are not unreasonable. Please allow Mr. Lin to allow Fang Xuan to investigate this matter thoroughly."
Chu Ye sneered in his heart and thought to himself, if you weren't afraid of Lin Qingshan, you would have attacked me long ago. But on the surface, Chu Ye was calm. With Lin Qingshan here, Fang Xuan did not dare to do anything to him.
Hearing this, Lin Qingshan smiled and nodded; "Elder Fang Xuan enforces the law impartially and is the mainstay of the outer cabinet. Lin believes that Elder Fang Xuan can definitely give everyone justice. Since nothing happens, let's all disperse."
Fang Xuan nodded in agreement, glared at Chu Ye angrily and left the cafeteria. Other people watching the excitement also left one after another. Only Chu Ye and Lin Qingshan were left in the huge cafeteria.
At this time, Chu Ye walked up to Lin Qingshan, bent down slightly, and said respectfully, "Thank you, Senior Lin, for saving me."
"No need to thank me, you did nothing wrong in the first place." Lin Qingshan smiled.
"It turns out that Senior Lin knows Elder Fang..."
Before Chu Ye finished speaking, Lin Qingshan waved his hand with a smile, interrupted Chu Ye, and said: "Some things can be tacitly understood. Although I claim to be selfless, the most important thing is that I am better than Fang Xuan, so I
He will listen only if you do. If you provoke someone more powerful than me today, then even if I step in, you will still not be able to escape."
Chu Ye nodded; "The strong are respected, and the fittest survive."
Lin Qingshan nodded; "The world is like this. If you want not to be bullied, you must be better than anyone else. I can protect you once, but I cannot protect you forever. Make yourself strong, this is the only choice."
Chu Ye let out a long breath; "I understand, Senior Lin."
After a pause, Lin Qingshan smiled and said, "If I guess correctly, you have now learned an offensive sword move, right?"
Hearing this, Chu Ye was stunned; "Senior Lin, did you see it?"
"Haha, if I don't even have this vision, how can I be the person in charge of this foreign cabinet?"
Lin Qingshan laughed loudly and continued: "But this is a bit beyond my expectation. You have only been in the outer cabinet for a year, and your strength has reached such a level. You are considered arrogant in this outer cabinet. One month later
The Sword Trial Ceremony, if you work hard, you may be able to get a top three spot."
Chu Ye's heart moved: "Senior Lin, don't worry, Chu Ye will never let down Senior Lin's expectations."
Lin Qingshan nodded; "Okay, I won't disturb your time. If you have anything to do in the future, you can go to Qingshan Pavilion to find me directly. I will have someone send you some medicinal materials in two days, which should be able to help you."
"Thank you, Senior Lin." Chu Ye felt moved in his heart.
"There is something I want to remind you again."
When he was about to reach the door, Lin Qingshan suddenly stopped and his tone changed: "There is no need to worry about your mother's matter. Before you are strong enough, you must not act impulsively. Do you understand?"
Hearing this, Chu Ye's eyes suddenly opened wide, a wave of hatred quickly spread from the bottom of his heart, his fists were clenched, and his eyes were blood red.
But soon, this emotion gradually calmed down. Chu Ye breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "I understand, Senior Lin, and I won't do anything rashly."
"That's good."
Lin Qingshan nodded and immediately disappeared from Chu Ye's sight.
late at night
In the dark main hall, two figures sat with their backs facing each other, and low voices sounded in the hall.
"How's it going? The reward order has been issued?"
"Well, it has been entered into the reward list of the Black Palace."
"Has anyone taken the order?"
"Not yet, but I'm offering a bounty of 20,000 ink stones, and someone should take the order soon."
"Well, for an ordinary level reward order, 20,000 ink stones are enough to make those killers flock to it."
The candlelight flickered, illuminating the face of the speaker, and his sinister smile made people shudder. If Chu Ye were here, he would definitely be shocked.
The person who issued the reward order turned out to be him!
