Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 237: Chapter 237 Difficulties

Qin Caihe frowned.

Where there are people, there are social intricacies.

It is the same for any sect.

They had successfully escorted the spiritual medicine.

However, during the handover of the spiritual medicine, it was difficult to guarantee that the other party wouldn’t leverage the situation for their own benefit.

If the handover failed, the mission would be considered incomplete.

Not only would they not earn merit points, but it would also delay their next mission.

Many disciples from the Myriad Swords Sect had discussed this matter earlier.

They all felt it was unavoidable.

Previously, she wasn’t worried about this.

Because Lu Xinghe had a cousin in the Spirit Beast Sect.

It was said that she held a high position.

If she intervened, the handover would be very smooth.

Now…

Thinking of this, she smiled again, holding up a roasted rabbit, and said with a cheerful smile, “Senior Brother, I was just joking.”

“Why are you taking it so seriously?”

“We’ll still need your help during the handover.”

She glanced at Jiang Fan out of the corner of her eye.

Feeling that she could finally repay Jiang Fan a bit.

But this subtle look was caught by Lu Xinghe.

He became furious instantly!

He slapped the roasted rabbit away, shouting, “What benefits did Jiang Fan give you?”

“To make you so devoted?”

“You even begged me to help him?”

He himself had never received such treatment.

Why should Jiang Fan?

He said venomously, “Surname Jiang! Don’t think I’ll use my connections to help you!”

“I want to see how you make a fool of yourself!”

Jiang Fan waved his sleeve, brushing away the spittle that had flown to his face.

Frowning, he said, “That’s not something you need to worry about.”

“Who doesn’t know a person or two in the Spirit Beast Sect?”

Upon learning that Jiang Fan had connections in the Spirit Beast Sect, Qin Caihe and Chu Xingmeng’s eyes lit up.

But then they thought, could the person Jiang Fan mentioned be Zhang Xuemou?

But she had already left.

Lu Xinghe sneered, “A rootless person like you, who could you possibly know?”

“Those who handle the handover are all elites from the Spirit Beast Sect.”

“Not anyone can have a say.”

Jiang Fan smiled gently.

Would Gong Caiyi be considered a nobody?

Several days later.

Jiang Fan and his companions, weary from travel, arrived at the Spirit Beast Sect.

Within the sect, mist lingered, with pavilions and towers appearing and disappearing.

Occasionally, female disciples in colorful attire would fleetingly appear in the mist.

There was an ethereal sense of a fairyland.

Chu Xingmeng’s beautiful eyes sparkled, “I’ve long heard that the Spirit Beast Sect is a paradise.”

“Now seeing it in person, the reputation is well deserved.”

Qin Caihe also showed a look of envy and said:

“The Spirit Beast Sect trains demon beasts to fight alongside them.”

“Although a disciple’s strength might not be strong, with their demon beast, they often can surpass those of the same level.”

“Among the Nine-Sect, they are unique.”

“I wanted to join the Spirit Beast Sect back then, but unfortunately, I didn’t have the talent to train demon beasts and couldn’t enter the sect.”

Hearing the two women’s longing.

Lu Xinghe rudely interrupted them.

“Stop dreaming.”

“Let’s deal with the handover first!”

He sat on a spirit beast, hands tucked in his sleeves.

An aloof stance, showing no intention to help.

Jiang Fan calmly drove the carriage, entering the gates of the Spirit Beast Sect.

“Who goes there?”

Outside the gate, a group of strong disciples guarded it.

With cultivation ranging from Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer to Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer.

Each dressed in colorful attire, making a splendid sight.

But their faces were not friendly.

Especially when they noticed the cart they were escorting, suspecting it was part of a mission.

Their faces turned stern, showing they were not easy to deal with.

Jiang Fan cupped his hands and said, “We are here to deliver spiritual medicine. Please have your sect verify the goods.”

Among the female disciples, one with a phoenix hairpin, dignified features, and an air of authority stepped forward.

She looked about twenty.

Her cultivation was the highest among them, at Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer.

“Spirit Beast Sect, Song Biyao, in charge of welcoming teams from other sects.”

“Please show your task jade scrolls.”

Seeing her and the other female disciples’ expressions, even the simple-minded Chu Xingmeng could tell that the handover wouldn’t go smoothly.

Jiang Fan calmly handed over the task jade scrolls to her.

Song Biyao took the four jade scrolls, reviewed the contents, and subtly curled her lips.

“Third-level task.”

Low-level tasks are naturally handled by disciples with lower cultivation.

Who barely have any wealth.

But thinking that even a mosquito’s leg is meat, she nodded and said, “The jade scroll indicates it’s medicine for three thousand spirit beasts.”

“Wenjun, Xiangyang, check the three wagons of spiritual medicine to see if they are complete and undamaged.”

Two capable female disciples immediately opened the wagons, rudely throwing the sacks of spiritual medicine onto the ground.

Qin Caihe and Chu Xingmeng quietly worried.

The spiritual medicine inside the sacks was individually wrapped in paper.

Throwing them so roughly could easily cause the paper to tear and spill.

At that point, it would be hard to tell whether the damage was due to their poor escort or the rough handling.

Lu Xinghe watched leisurely, with a mocking expression.

He wanted to see how Jiang Fan would handle it!

He would definitely bow and scrape, say some nice words, and then that Senior Sister Song Biyao would take the opportunity to scold him.

Jiang Fan would then obediently hand over some crystal stone, begging them to be lenient, like a wronged little wife.

Thinking of that scene, Lu Xinghe was quite looking forward to it.

What stunned him was.

Jiang Fan wasn’t anxious at all, watching their violent inspection quite leisurely.

This made Song Biyao realize something was off.

Could the team leader be familiar with someone in the sect?

To avoid kicking an iron plate, she said in an official tone, “Additionally, hand over your identity tokens for registration.”

She wanted to check if there was anyone important among the four.

A female disciple came forward, collected their identity tokens, and handed them to Song Biyao for registration.

“Supreme Sect, Chu Xingmeng.”

She muttered, expressionless.

The Supreme Sect was certainly renowned, one of the top three powerful sects.

But this was the Spirit Beast Sect’s territory; they wouldn’t be easily intimidated.

“Myriad Swords Sect, Qin Caihe.”

She still showed no reaction.

The Myriad Swords Sect wasn’t as well-known as the Supreme Sect.

Until she read the third name.

“Myriad Swords Sect, Lu Xinghe, huh?”

Song Biyao showed a hint of surprise, “You’re Senior Sister Yi Lianxing’s cousin, right?”

“Aren’t you at Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer? Why are you doing a third-level task?”

Lu Xinghe jumped off the spirit beast, smiling and cupping his hands, “Senior Sister Song, you actually know me?”

Because of her good relationship with Yi Lianxing, Song Biyao smiled, “Your cousin often talks about you.”

“She says you are exceptionally talented, with a bright future.”

Lu Xinghe replied, “My cousin flatters me. Sister Song, please don’t take it too seriously.”

Since he was the cousin of an acquaintance.

Song Biyao decided not to make it difficult for them, waving at the two female disciples inspecting the goods:

“They’re one of us, so no need to be too thorough, just count the quantities.”

Hearing this.

Qin Caihe and Chu Xingmeng took a breath of relief.

They were in the clear.

In the end, it still came down to Lu Xinghe’s connections.

“Thank you, Senior Sister, for your leniency.”

Lu Xinghe took out a bag of crystal stones, handing it to her, “The weather is hot, buy some spiritual tea for the sisters to drink.”

Song Biyao showed a look of approval, “No wonder your cousin is so fond of you.”

“You’re not only adept in the martial path but also in social matters.”

Saying this, she frowned slightly at Jiang Fan.

“But with you in the team, why is he the team leader?”

She thought Jiang Fan remained calm because he had some significant status.

In the end, he was relying on Lu Xinghe.

Lu Xinghe, feeling vindicated, finally had a chance to vent his frustration.

He said in a mocking tone, “Him? He’s quite skilled.”

“With just a few words, he had the two junior sisters eating out of his hand and accept him as the leader.”

“Since he likes being the leader, let him have it.”

Finding out that Jiang Fan relied on charming girls to supplant Lu Xinghe, Song Biyao became disdainful:

“Is he from the Desires Sect?”

“Disciples from the Desires Sect are good at charming girls.”

Lu Xinghe laughed heartily, eager to expose Jiang Fan’s secret:

“He’s more skillful than disciples of the Desires Sect.”

“Because he’s a disciple of the Sect Master of the Green Cloud Sect, named Jiang Fan!”

Expecting Song Biyao to immediately think of the rootless rumors.

To his surprise, Song Biyao paused and then chuckled:

“Wait a minute! What did you say his name was?”

“Jiang Fan?”
