Chapter 308 Misunderstanding
Inside the teleportation hall of Xundao City.
"No accidents happened to my fellow apprentices before, how come this happened to us two?"
"Don't worry. There's no point in worrying. The other party is at least a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage or above. We two can't contend with him. Besides, we reported it in time, so he shouldn't be held responsible for any serious consequences."
"Brother, you make it sound so easy. I'm here to make contributions, not to bear the blame. It's been so long, why hasn't anyone come yet?"
They were the two late Qi Refining disciples who were stationed outside Fang's house to look after Fang's father's safety.
According to past custom, after dinner, Mr. Fang would go out for a walk accompanied by his servants.
But until the sky became completely dark, there was still no sign of him.
The two immediately realized that something was wrong and immediately went into the house to check the situation.
But before they could get close to Fang's house, a man appeared in front of the gate and bounced them away with an invisible force.
The gatekeeper is naturally Yuan Chen.
Yuan Chen obviously had no intention of hurting them, he just wanted to drive them away.
The two discussed it and decided to report the matter to the sect and the person in charge of Xundao City at the same time.
Even though it is just a matter of mortals, the mortals settled here are the relatives of the disciples of Tianlan Sect.
If not handled properly, big problems will arise.
As soon as the sect received the news, they notified that someone would come over.
Xundao City also directly closed the city gates and sent people to check the situation.
At this moment, the teleportation array connecting to the sect suddenly lit up, and then a figure with a burning aura walked out of it. They immediately recognized the person.
"Disciple pays respect to Grandmaster Xiao."
The person who came was Xiao Yan. Judging from his aura, he had obviously been in the early stage of Jindan for quite some time.
He was just refining a batch of pills, but after hearing the news that someone had invaded Fang's mansion, he immediately interrupted the refining and rushed over in person.
Xiao Yan had an angry look on his face. He ignored the two people in front of him and fled directly towards the location of Fang Mansion, completely disregarding the ban of Xundao City.
When he arrived at Fang Mansion, the Jindan cultivator stationed in Xundao City also arrived at the same time.
Because the two garrison officers could not clearly describe the other party's cultivation level when they reported, Xundao City first sent a team of foundation-building cultivators.
However, these people were no match for Yuan Chen, who was in the late Jindan stage, and were all easily defeated.
After reporting it again, a Jindan cultivator finally arrived.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan's anger rose again, "Brother Huang, this is how Xundao City takes care of the relatives of its disciples. If anything goes wrong here, I will not let it go."
"Brother Xiao, calm down. It was my negligence. However, this person has not left yet. The disciples who came here were only forced to retreat by him, and no one was hurt. I think there is another hidden reason. Let me negotiate with this person first to avoid angering him."
Although Xiao Yan has only reached the initial stage of Jindan, he is the youngest alchemy master in the sect. He also has a master who has advanced to the Yuanying stage as his backer.
The Alchemy Alliance that was formed also took on a large number of alchemy tasks for the sect.
He can be said to be one of the most popular figures in the sect today.
Even if it is someone with higher cultivation than him, he is unwilling to offend him easily unless it is necessary.
"Humph, I want to see where this person comes from. How dare he come to the fairy city under the jurisdiction of my Tianlan Sect to cause trouble."
Then the two of them arrived at the gate of Fang Mansion.
Yuan Chen also appeared and said, "Please stop, my brother is gathering with his family, please wait here for a while."
"Your senior brother? This is where the relatives of my Tianlan Sect disciples stay. Your Excellency means that you are also a disciple of my Tianlan Sect, but we have never seen you before. Can you take out your identity token for verification?"
Senior Brother Huang questioned.
Although he couldn't say that all the sect's Jindan were true, he could recognize them all, and the person in front of him was definitely not one of them.
Yuan Chen was quite embarrassed about this, "I have not yet entered the sect, and I do not have an identity token."
"Your words are totally contradictory. I don't care where you got the news from, but you dared to use Brother Fang's name and claim to be a disciple of Tianlan Sect. For this matter alone, I will not forgive you."
Xiao Yan also thought of the possibility of Fang Xiao coming back, but he was not credible in the words of the stranger in front of him.
Now that Fang's father's condition is unclear, he can't just sit there and do nothing. He must go in and personally confirm his safety, otherwise he would be letting Fang Xiao down.
Especially since Fang Xiao's identity is special, he cannot tolerate anyone taking advantage of Fang's father.
It was a good thing that the other party was so nervous about Fang's father, but he didn't trust Yuan Chen, a stranger, and he didn't know how to explain it.
After all, if someone suddenly shows up, claims to be a fellow disciple but cannot prove his identity, he will arouse suspicion no matter where he goes.
But even if he had to fight, he would stop these two people.
Senior Brother Huang originally preferred to wait for a while. Anyway, the gate at the city gate was locked and he couldn't run away. If the matter could be resolved peacefully, it would be better not to take action.
But Xiao Yan obviously wouldn't agree, and Senior Brother Huang couldn't just stand by and watch.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the field became more and more tense, and the battle consciousness was about to break out.
However, at this moment, a stream of light flew out from Fang Mansion and hovered in front of the gate.
When everyone looked closely, they realized that it was not something else but the identity token of a disciple of Tianlan Sect.
Fang Xiao's name was clearly engraved on it.
"It's really Senior Brother Fang. Senior Brother is back."
Xiao Yan's anger seemed to be extinguished in an instant, and his excitement was beyond words.
Fang Xiao had been gone for nearly sixty years. Especially since Fang's father's health was getting worse day by day and the true teaching competition was approaching, Xiao Yan became more and more anxious.
This is also one of the reasons why he would resort to violence whenever he disagreed with something.
Yuan Chen also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Fang Xiao sent out the identity token in time, otherwise he would have to fight with these future fellow disciples.
Senior Brother Huang on the side had a helpless look on his face, "It's only natural for a son to see his father, but you are more anxious than anyone else, acting like he's your real father. But this Senior Brother Fang is the same, he just came back home, but he had to sneak in, making us feel like we were facing a powerful enemy."
He then dispersed the many foundation-building disciples and said, "Junior Brother Xiao, is everything alright now?"
"Nothing, nothing, hahahaha, thank you for your hard work, Senior Brother Huang. This is the elixir I recently refined, I hope you will accept it."
Xiao Yan did not forget that he had just scolded and threatened Senior Brother Huang, which was indeed too extreme, so he quickly offered the pill to express his apology.
Senior Brother Huang's eyes lit up and he quickly put it into his sleeve.
"Then I'd be disrespectful to refuse, but it would be inappropriate for us to stay outside the Fang Mansion.
Why don't we go to the restaurant across the street and wait for Senior Brother Fang to come out?
I am Huang Lin, this fellow Taoist should come with us. With the three of us here, we are afraid that some scoundrels may sneak in."
Cultivating immortals is not just about practicing in seclusion, but also about understanding the ways of the world. This Senior Brother Huang is someone who has studied this in depth.
The strange cultivator in front of him was obviously close to Fang Xiao. After all, he was a cultivator in the late Jindan stage. He took this opportunity to get to know him and become familiar with him.
"Maybe one day I can break through to the Nascent Soul stage. More friends mean more paths."
