Chapter 708: Chapter 686: The Reactions of the Sects

The words of the Sect Leader of Qianjin Hall made the expressions of Qianmu Fan and Tang Chenyang very ugly.

This was a direct slight, completely looking down on them both.

According to their own Sect Leader, the two of them didn’t even have the qualification to be compared to Shen Han.

"I know that upon hearing this, you two must feel somewhat upset.

You might even curse me in your hearts.

But even if it undermines your confidence, there are some things I must say."

Beside him, Qianmu Fan and Tang Chenyang looked at Elder Ding, then at their own Sect Leader.

"Sect Leader, he is but a practitioner of the Old Cultivation Method.

In your opinion, could it be that his future would be brighter than ours?

If you don’t have such high hopes for us, why bother bringing us into Qianjin Hall?"

The Sect Leader of Qianjin Hall looked solemnly at the two of them.

"It’s not that I think his future will be better than yours, but if you fight with him, you might not have a future at all.

The world says Tiger Peak Manor is crazy, daring to offend any power to protect their own.

Shen Han nowadays isn’t any more stable than Tiger Peak Manor.

As the saying goes, ’Owing too much leads to no worry, lice too many make no itch.’

Tiger Peak Manor is already entrenched in deep enmity, surrounded by perils.

Even if he ends you two, it would merely add another enemy, with little impact.

But for you, it would cost your lives.

Furthermore, you are disciples of Qianjin Hall. If something happens to you, what should we, Qianjin Hall, do?

Avenging you would mean putting all our sect disciples in jeopardy.

But if we don’t support you, the sect would find it hard to maintain itself.

Do you two understand my concern?"

The Sect Leader of Qianjin Hall felt that he had spoken plainly enough.

Even if they were dense, they should understand.

Upon hearing this, Elder Ding also looked at the two of them.

"The Sect Leader is asking you something. Speak up and answer, why are you both just standing there?"

Prompted by Elder Ding, the two of them finally lowered their heads to their Sect Leader.

In unison, they replied, "We will heed the Sect Leader’s words and act with caution in the future."

The Sect Leader of Qianjin Hall nodded, but added, "Elder Ding, keep an eye on these two children.

These young ones often say the right things and agree to everything arranged for them.

Yet in private, who knows what they might do.

Keep a close watch on them for a while."

These words left Qianmu Fan and Tang Chenyang speechless.

They thought of acting in defiance secretly, but their Sect Leader had guessed it outright.

Returning to their residence, Elder Ding left for some other matters.

In the spacious courtyard, only Qianmu Fan and Tang Chenyang remained.

"Brother Fan, what makes Shen Han so formidable?

Why does it feel like the sect’s higher-ups are all brainwashed, praising him so highly?

It’s as if compared to him, we are like worthless waste."

Tang Chenyang sat on a stone chair in the courtyard, speaking with a hint of anger.

Beside him, Qianmu Fan appeared much calmer than before.

Throughout the journey back, he had been deep in thought, pondering over the Sect Leader’s words.

At first, those words seemed like advice.

But upon further consideration, Qianmu Fan realized those words also contained a warning.

A warning not to provoke Shen Han.

If provoked, the sect not only wouldn’t help them,

they might even see the consequences of acting against their orders.

Through deep consideration, Qianmu Fan understood everything.

Once he grasped the meaning, he spoke less of complaints.

While Tang Chenyang babbled on, Qianmu Fan didn’t explain but simply replied briefly.

Qianmu Fan was quite shrewd.

If Tang Chenyang couldn’t grasp it and acted recklessly, it would only highlight Qianmu Fan’s sensibility.

Between Shen Han and Qianjin Hall, there wasn’t really deep hatred.

Just some minor conflicts between Qianmu Fan, Tang Chenyang, and Shen Han.

This situation was different from that with Tiger Peak Manor.

Tiger Peak Manor went to someone’s hometown and hurt their relatives.

The feud between Qianmu Fan, Tang Chenyang, and Shen Han was merely about competitiveness and rivalry.

Such a level of conflict, Qianjin Hall didn’t believe Shen Han would treat it as deep enmity.

Of course, this is provided Qianmu Fan and Tang Chenyang refrain from causing trouble.

For now, staying lowkey and letting Tiger Peak Manor confront Shen Han on their own is best.

News of this situation in Qianjin Hall was merely surprising.

By contrast, Five Immortals City was much more shocked by the news.

Before, Shen Han became a Direct Disciple in Five Immortals City, lost the title, then regained it.

In this back and forth, Shen Han’s reputation had spread widely in Five Immortals City.

In the city, there weren’t many people familiar with Shen Han.

Except for the sisters Song Xiaodie, Elder Si Zhi, others weren’t particularly close.

Similarly, upon hearing Shen Han offended Tiger Peak Manor, most people viewed it with amusement.

Tiger Peak Manor’s reputation for protecting their own was well-known across the Southern Heaven Continent.

Earlier when Shen Han gained fame, surpassing many geniuses in Five Immortals City with the Old Method,

he had overshadowed others, and many in the city disliked Shen Han.

Later, hearing he had offended Tiger Peak Manor, they wanted to see what misery Shen Han might meet.

But instead of misery, they heard another Core Disciple of Tiger Peak Manor was dead.

Ban Wu, You Wanying’s eldest disciple, Ban Wu.
