Supreme Emptiness

Ding Xuhui’s eyes showed astonishment as he looked directly at Jiang Fan for the first time and asked, "You are?"

Chen Silin took Jiang Fan’s arm with pride and said, "Sect Master Peak disciple, Jiang Fan, and he is also my fiancé."

She cast a provocative glance at Ding Tianxiang.

So what if you are a disciple of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion?

Didn’t you still lose under Jiang Fan’s sword? @@novelbin@@

Thinking of this, she clung to Jiang Fan’s arm tighter, as if by doing so, she could feel more secure.

Ding Tianxiang, having just escaped being killed, now faced such provocation from Chen Silin.

Anger surged in his chest, and he channeled his spiritual power, shouting, "Come! We’ll go again!"

He had been too careless earlier.

Otherwise, with his Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer cultivation, he wouldn’t have lost so miserably.

"Shut up!"

Ding Xuhui scolded, "Guests should be treated with respect, not rudeness!"

If it had been disciples from other peaks, it wouldn’t have mattered.

His son was a disciple of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion; injuring the opponent would make even their master hesitant to react strongly.

But Jiang Fan was a disciple of the Green Cloud Sect Master.

If he let Jiang Fan get injured by Ding family disciples, wouldn’t that be a slap in the face of the Green Cloud Sect Master?

He immediately cupped his hands and said, "Disciples of the Green Cloud Sect, since you were brought here by my Ding family disciple, Ding Wanping, it is my duty to take care of you."

"Wanping, arrange for them to stay in the residence."

After saying this, he turned to leave.

Just before leaving, he suddenly stopped, frowned, and reminded, "Also, Master Qin will be arriving at the Ding family soon."

"Make sure you restrain your companions and don’t wander around the residence to avoid disturbing Master Qin."

Ding Wanping stood respectfully, "Yes, Family Head!"

Thinking of Master Qin, he felt deep respect from his heart.

A true First Grade Soul Master, someone whose slightest movement could shake the entire Cloud Sun City.

Even the enraged Ding Tianxiang, upon learning that Master Qin was about to arrive, immediately suppressed his anger and dared not cause any further trouble.

Being in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, he knew even more the exalted status of Soul Masters.

Even Core Formation Realm martial artists could only regard a One-star Soul Master as an equal.

The Ding family, lacking even a Core Formation Realm member, was tremendously fortunate to gain a One-star Soul Master’s favor.

If they displeased him and he chose not to cooperate with the Ding family, he would be a historical sinner for the Ding family!

Thus, the conflict subsided.

Ding Wanping led everyone to the guest rooms of the Ding family, arranging rooms for each disciple.

When it came to Chen Silin, he attentively said, "Junior Sister Silin, you can stay in the room next to your Senior Brother’s."

"If anything happens, I can come immediately."

Chen Silin said coolly, "There’s no need to trouble Senior Brother."

"I will stay in the same room with Jiang Fan."

If something really happened, could Ding Wanping protect her?

The previous incident had already provided the answer.

Ding Wanping’s chest tightened with pain, he glared jealously at Jiang Fan, "Junior Sister, don’t overestimate Jiang Fan."

"Earlier, he just took advantage of the element of surprise to gain an edge over Ding Tianxiang."

"In a real fight, Jiang Fan would be done within three moves!"

Hearing this, Chen Silin’s face showed a faint trace of disdain.

She retorted bluntly, "That’s still better than standing there taking slaps without fighting back!"

The other disciples looked at Ding Wanping, their faces emotionless.

In their hearts, they felt a tinge of contempt.

No matter how weak Jiang Fan’s cultivation was, at least he dared to stand up for Chen Silin and successfully injured the opponent.

What about Ding Wanping?

He only dared to act tough in front of those weaker than himself.

Facing Ding Tianxiang, he didn’t even have the courage to strike back.

Where did he get the gall to look down on Jiang Fan?

Ding Wanping, humiliated beyond measure, clenched his fists and glared at Jiang Fan with hatred, "Dare to compete with me?"

"Let’s see who is the hero and who is the coward?"

He couldn’t bear the humiliation.

No matter what, he wanted to prove himself.

In front of the Green Cloud Sect disciples and Chen Silin, he wanted to regain some of his lost dignity!

He couldn’t beat Ding Tianxiang, but surely he could easily handle Jiang Fan, right?

Jiang Fan found this person tiresome.

He had been entangled again and again.

Since the other party was asking for it, he might as well end it swiftly.

"Fine!" Jiang Fan agreed without hesitation.

Ding Wanping gripped his sword hilt, "Follow me!"

Thus.

They all moved to the Ding family’s Martial Arts Training Ground.

The other disciples were also very curious about where Jiang Fan got the confidence to face Ding Wanping in a duel.

After all, the latter was an experienced disciple.

He had been in the Sixth Layer of Foundation Establishment for quite some time, with solid foundations and ample combat experience.

Jiang Fan, on the other hand, had joined the Green Cloud Sect only a month ago.

The two stepped out from the crowd, each gripping their weapons, facing each other, ready to fight.

At the same time.

The highly anticipated Master Qin finally arrived at the Ding family.

He was none other than Qin Wenyuan, who had relocated his entire family from Lonely Boat City a long way away.

Cloud Sun City was far more prosperous than Lonely Boat City, making it a perfect place for the Qin family to reestablish themselves.

Given that the Qin family had just arrived, establishing themselves meant competing for territory with the local Martial Path families.

So Qin Wenyuan wisely chose to form an alliance with the Ding family.

First, they would take down the other two prominent Martial Path families and then secure their footing.

"Master Qin, you have finally arrived!" Ding Xuhui led the entire Ding family, welcoming the Qin family’s grand procession outside the city gates.

Ding Tianxiang accompanied them, paying his respects to Qin Wenyuan, "Master Qin, I am Ding Tianxiang, a disciple of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."

"Welcome to the Ding family."

He mentioned his identity to add weight to the Ding family’s negotiations.

In hopes of securing more benefits in the alliance.

Qin Wenyuan, however, responded with a slightly mocking smile, "Is Elder Fei Yunlun of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion doing well?"

Ding Tianxiang was startled, "Master Qin, you know my master?"

Fei Yunlun, none other than his master, was a Great Cultivator at the Jiedan Eighth Layer.

He was very surprised that Qin Wenyuan knew him.

"We are more than just acquaintances." Qin Wenyuan stroked his beard, "Elder Fei Yunlun should call me Senior Brother." Your journey continues at NovelBin.Côm

"We were from the same sect, but later I discovered my soul talent and pursued the path of a Soul Master."

"By that calculation, you are my junior nephew."

Hearing this, Ding Tianxiang was greatly shocked!

He felt more reverent.

His already bent back bowed even deeper, "Tianxiang greets Uncle Master."

Ding Xuhui dared not be disrespectful either and bowed as well, "Junior pays respects to Master Qin!"

He felt enormous pressure.

Qin Wenyuan was not only a One-star Soul Master but also his son’s martial uncle.

If he got displeased, couldn’t he decide his son’s future and the Ding family’s prosperity?

Thinking of this, his demeanor grew even more respectful.

In their respectful bowing, Qin Wenyuan received unprecedentedly high honor as he entered the Ding family.

The alliance discussions proceeded without any obstacles.

All the conditions Qin Wenyuan proposed, Ding Xuhui had to accept entirely, not daring to oppose.

Fortunately, Qin Wenyuan was not a greedy person; although some conditions were harsh, they were still bearable.

After the alliance was settled, Ding Xuhui let out a long sigh of relief, finally putting down his worry.

"Master Qin, I have prepared a banquet, please follow me."

Accompanied by Ding Xuhui, Qin Wenyuan walked to the dining hall in high spirits.

He felt quite pleased.

"Leaving Lonely Boat City may not be a bad thing."

"As long as we don’t provoke that Three-Star Soul Master, the Qin family will be more glorious than ever."

As they walked.

Passing by the Martial Arts Training Ground, he caught sight of a group of people from the corner of his eye.

When he saw a figure standing in the center, he couldn’t help but pause.
