Supreme Emptiness-Chapter 248 - Release
Chapter 248: Chapter 248 Release
He solemnly cupped his hands and said, “Sect Master Gong, please calm your anger.”
“I understand your goodwill. Don’t laugh at me, but since I entered the Green Cloud Sect,”
“the elder who has treated me the best is not my master,”
“but rather you, Sect Master Gong.”
He drew the Black Sword from his back and caressed the blade, saying:
“I was an anonymous disciple, unnoticed by the sect. Thanks to your favor, Sect Master Gong, I was given the opportunity to show my potential.”
...
“First, you gave me Spiritual Medicine, and then you gifted me a treasured sword.”
“I will remember this kindness forever.”
These words evoked memories.
Gong Caiyi thought back to all the moments she met Jiang Fan.
The anger in her heart dissipated significantly.
It turned out, this guy wasn’t so heartless after all.
At least he recognized her kindness toward him.
But why couldn’t he just agree to her request?
Becoming the Young Sect Leader of the Spirit Beast Sect would elevate him immensely.
Why couldn’t he appreciate her goodwill?
Jiang Fan sighed deeply:
“To be honest, Sect Master, when I was young, my parents were torn apart.”
“My father endured a lifetime of grievances, living in a remote small town, and died in depression.”
“My mother’s current fate is unknown.”
“As their son, I must seek justice for my father and fulfill my filial duty to my mother.”
“Before accomplishing these, how could I indulge in comforts? How could I live up to my deceased father’s spirit, or my mother’s unknown status?”
Gong Caiyi and Yuan Zhiyu were both moved.
They only saw Jiang Fan’s extraordinary talent and limitless prospects.
But they didn’t know his tragic background.
He turned out to be an orphan.
Only now did Gong Caiyi realize how unreasonable her demands were.
She stepped forward gracefully, her eyes filled with apology.
Seeing Jiang Fan’s slightly disheveled collar, she reached out her jade-like fingers with affectionate eyes and tidied it:
“Poor child, it’s really been hard for you.”
She thought of Jiang Fan being so lonely and helpless.
In the Green Cloud Sect, no one cared for him, making him appear even more pitiable.
Her aggressive behavior made her feel like she was bullying him, and she felt a small guilt emerge in her heart.
Feeling remorseful, she said:
“I was unaware of your tragic backstory, I sincerely apologize.”
Seeing her ashamed look.
Jiang Fan smiled generously: “Sect Master, you need not blame yourself.”
“I should be the one thanking you.”
“The Nine-Sect may be vast, but who else has cared for me like you, Sect Master?”
“Besides you, there isn’t a second person in this world.”
Even if Liu Wuchen temporarily acknowledged him and declared him as a son-in-law.
But to make Jiang Fan the Young Sect Leader.
He would never agree.
The elder who treated him the best was none other than Gong Caiyi.
Gong Caiyi looked at this well-behaved young man, feeling infinite compassion, and adjusted his clothes tenderly, saying:
“From now on, consider the Spirit Beast Sect as your home.”
“If the Green Cloud Sect mistreats you, just tell me.”
“I’ll take you over, and you won’t suffer anymore.”
Jiang Fan’s nose tingled.
The last time someone protected him this way was when his father was still alive.
But that was three years ago.
“Thank you, Sect Master.” Jiang Fan was genuinely grateful.
Gong Caiyi patted his shoulder, saying, “Go, do what you need to do.”
Suddenly, she remembered something.
She quickly took out a bottle of Earth Phoenix Grass Marrow from her sleeve, which she had already prepared.
“Nearly forgot.”
She stuffed it into Jiang Fan’s arms and whispered, “Use it quickly, don’t let anyone see.”
Jiang Fan nodded, “I understand.”
He carefully stored the Earth Phoenix Grass Marrow.
He then prepared to leave.
But Fu Chaohun, who was standing nearby, rolled his eyes and interjected, “Sect Master Gong, since Junior Brother Jiang is unwilling to be the Young Sect Leader,”
“I am willing to give it a try.”
Try?
Gong Caiyi glanced at him and said expressionlessly, “The position of Young Sect Leader is reserved for Jiang Fan.”
“I will ask him for his opinion again after he fulfills his wish.”
Rather keep it empty than give it to him?
Fu Chaohun’s face stiffened. He couldn’t understand why he was inferior to Jiang Fan.
Was it just because his background wasn’t tragic enough?
Ridiculous.
But how could he dare to blame Gong Caiyi?
He had to change the topic back to the Spirit Control Technique, saying:
“Then, Sect Master Gong, do you still need me to comprehend your sect’s secret technique?”
Gong Caiyi thought for a moment.
She took out a bottle of Earth Phoenix Grass Juice from her sleeve and casually tossed it to him.
“You’ve worked hard these past few days, take this bottle of Earth Phoenix Grass Juice.”
“Later, I’ll have the Great Elder send you off.”
What?
Fu Chaohun trembled slightly, not daring to believe it:
“Sect Master Gong, do you doubt my comprehension?”
“I can explain my understanding right now, and you’ll know immediately if I’ve got it right or not.”
Gong Caiyi said indifferently, “That won’t be necessary.”
She was no fool.
She knew exactly why Fu Chaohun had insisted on staying by her side.
From the way he looked at her, she was clear about his intentions.
Not to mention Jiang Fan had already helped her comprehend the entire Spirit Control Technique.
Even if he hadn’t.
She would never keep a man with ulterior motives around her.
“Why?”
Fu Chaohun, thinking he had hidden his thoughts well, couldn’t accept it and asked,
“Doesn’t Sect Master Gong need this technique anymore?”
“The Beast Tide is imminent. With this technique, you and your sect will have more security.”
Detecting the threat in his words.
Gong Caiyi became even more displeased.
Threatening already, what excessive demands would he make at crucial moments?
Only then did she realize how precious it was that Jiang Fan silently helped her comprehend the entire Spirit Control Technique.
In comparison, Jiang Fan’s character was outstanding.
She couldn’t help but look at Jiang Fan again.
So handsome, with so many high talents, and excellent character.
In a daze, she remembered a phrase.
“A gentleman as beautiful as jade, unmatched in the world.”
It described someone like Jiang Fan, didn’t it?
“Sect Master Gong, are you listening to me?”
Noticing Gong Caiyi staring at Jiang Fan in a daze, Fu Chaohun felt a surge of anger.
Gong Caiyi snapped back to reality and quickly averted her gaze.
Calmly responding, “That is none of your concern.”

“The Spirit Beast Sect will handle its matters on its own.”
“You may leave now.”
Fu Chaohun felt a tremendous sense of loss.
He had been overjoyed, thinking that staying by Gong Caiyi’s side over time, he would have a chance to become close to her.
But instead, he was ruthlessly sent away!
What he found even more unbearable was Gong Caiyi’s cold treatment of him,
while she was excessively warm toward another peer not nearly as good as him!
He didn’t dare vent his anger on Gong Caiyi.
But venting it on an unknown disciple posed no problem.
He turned and glared at Jiang Fan: “What did you say to Sect Master Gong?”
Just three days ago, Gong Caiyi was very welcoming to him and pleased with his assistance in comprehending the Spirit Control Technique.
But her attitude suddenly did a complete reversal today!
He could only blame Jiang Fan!
The innocent Jiang Fan slightly furrowed his brows, his eyes cold.
What did Fu Chaohun’s grievances have to do with him?
Did he think Jiang Fan was easy to bully?
Did he think he could use him as a punching bag to vent his emotions?
He said coldly,
“If you want trouble, I’m ready anytime!”
