Supreme Emptiness-Chapter 352 Falling into the Trap

Listening to the familiar voice.

Liu Wuchen and the elders all showed signs of joy.

They looked over intently and saw the figure of a young man with fair skin and handsome features, exuding an unflappable demeanor.

Who else could it be but Jiang Fan?

They had not heard from Jiang Fan for a long time and were somewhat worried that something might have happened to him.

Seeing him return suddenly, their hearts were naturally filled with joy.

But realizing the current situation, their expressions changed.

Why return now, of all times?

"Jiang Fan, is that you!"

The always expressionless Cao Zhen suddenly showed a look of wild joy.

Ever since being defeated by Jiang Fan, he had been overwhelmed with shame and constantly thought of ways to redeem himself.

This time, he returned with a strong resolve, aiming solely to crush Jiang Fan underfoot.

To show Liu Wuchen how blind he had been for not admitting him to the Sect Master Peak!

To show Liu Qingxian how blind she had been for favoring a worthless person and abandoning him, a peerless prodigy!

But, what he never expected was that Jiang Fan was no longer in the Green Cloud Sect.

He could only spar half-heartedly with other disciples from the Sect Master Peak.

This was far from fulfilling his desire to wash away his shame!

He thought he would have to leave with regret.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Fan had returned!

How could he not be ecstatic?

Jiang Fan glanced at him and then ignored him.

He walked directly to Liu Wuchen and the elders, cupped his hands, and said:

"Disciple Jiang Fan, greets Sect Master and all elders."

Liu Wuchen felt anxious inside.

On the surface, he remained calm and said, "Hm, it's good that you've returned safely."

"First go report to the Task Hall."

His attempt to dismiss Jiang Fan did not escape the eyes of those present.

Not to mention Cao Zhen and Yang Qinghua would not agree.

Feng Guchan would never agree. He raised his hand to stop him and said, "Jiang Fan, wait!"

Jiang Fan looked indifferently at the traitorous Great Elder and said, "What does Great Elder wish to instruct?"

Hearing Jiang Fan's dismissive tone, Feng Guchan became visibly displeased and thought coldly:

"Ignorant fool, daring to show me attitude? You will soon be utterly humiliated!"

With no expression on his face, he said, "Reporting to the Task Hall can wait."

"There is an old acquaintance here who wishes to spar with you in martial arts."

"As he is a guest, do not refuse his goodwill or neglect him."

These words made Liu Wuchen's heart burn with anger, and he glared fiercely at Feng Guchan.

He feared chaos!

The other elders were also filled with worry.

What was meant to happen could not be avoided.

Since Jiang Fan had appeared, leaving would not be easy.

Yang Qinghua scrutinized Jiang Fan, a slight smile playing on his lips:

"You are the Jiang Fan who once relied on body techniques to defeat our sect's disciple Cao Zhen?"

"I have long wanted to thank you."

"Without you, where would we find such an excellent disciple?"

His sarcastic tone was unbearable for the members of the Green Cloud Sect.

It made many feel a twinge of regret.

If they had stopped Jiang Fan from using heavy hands back then and left Cao Zhen some dignity, would they be in this situation today?

Jiang Fan looked calmly at the Second Elder of the True Thunder Sect.

Neither humble nor arrogant, he said, "Elder Yang, you overpraise."

"If our Green Cloud Sect's discarded trash is to your liking, feel free to take it."

"No need for courtesy or a special trip to express thanks."

Yang Qinghua's smile stiffened.

His eyes narrowed instantly.

"Sect Master Liu, your esteemed disciple is quite something!"

Although this place was the territory of the Green Cloud Sect,

It was rare for a junior to dare speak so insolently to an elder.

Bam—

Feng Guchan slammed the table, coldly scolding: "Jiang Fan, how do you speak?"

"Kneel and apologize to Elder Yang immediately!"

Smack—

Liu Wuchen also became angry.

He slammed the table, snorting coldly: "Feng Guchan, since when is it your place to discipline my disciple?"

Clearly, Jiang Fan was upholding the honor of the Green Cloud Sect.

Feng Guchan did not help his own people but instead asked Jiang Fan to kneel and apologize?

Outrageous!

The several elders also glared furiously, and someone with a temper like Wen Hongyao even started to gather spiritual power.

Seemingly ready to fight at any moment.

Feng Guchan, knowing the anger he had ignited, snorted through his nose, his scolding words turning into a defense:

"I am also thinking of the sect's best interest."

"Burying our head in the sand will only bring shame."

"Surely, everyone knows whether Cao Zhen is trash or not?"

Liu Wuchen glared at him fiercely.

Turning to Jiang Fan, he showed a look of appreciation and said, "What you said is correct."

"Our Green Cloud Sect's unwanted things, anyone who likes them can take them without any politeness."

Yang Qinghua's eyes narrowed.

He sneered, "Your Great Elder is right, you are just deceiving yourselves."

"The excellence of our disciple, Cao Zhen, is not negated by a single word of trash."

"But your disciple Jiang Fan may not even have the courage to compete with the supposed trash."

He fixed his gaze on Jiang Fan.

Making no attempt to conceal his intent to provoke.

Jiang Fan was wholly unbothered.

He looked lazily at Cao Zhen and said indifferently:

"I have no interest in sparring with a defeated opponent."

"If Elder Yang has no other business, take your disciple and leave."

"Otherwise, losing face will hurt the relationship between our sects, something a junior like me cannot bear."

Yang Qinghua's face darkened.

This kid, was oil and water not penetrable!

But this was the territory of the Green Cloud Sect, he couldn't force Jiang Fan to spar with Cao Zhen.

His eyes shifted, and he said, "If we add some stakes, would you be interested then?"

Gifts without strings attached—how could Jiang Fan not be interested?

Only then did he show a hint of a smile: "First, let's hear what you have to offer."

"A reminder, don't bring up crystal stones, I don't lack them."

Yang Qinghua snorted, "A junior disciple dismissing crystal stones?"

"I didn't know the Green Cloud Sect was so affluent?"

Liu Wuchen and the other elders showed a speechless expression.

Jiang Fan's words indeed seemed a bit too grandiose.

Even they dared not say they lacked crystal stones.

How could a junior disciple say such a thing?

But Jiang Fan casually took out two crystal tokens worth ten thousand crystals each from his sleeve.

"If Elder Yang can take out tens of thousands of crystals, I might muster a bit of interest."

"If not, there's no need to mention stakes."

"Not interested."

Yang Qinghua's cultured and refined face stiffened once more.

He did not have twenty thousand crystals on him.

The junior disciple before him casually brought out two ten-thousand-value crystal tokens?

His mouth twitched, and he had to abandon the idea of crystal stones as stakes.

But what to use as stakes?

The other party had blatantly displayed his wealth.

If he presented something of low value, Jiang Fan might not be interested, which was minor, but it would make the Second Elder of the True Thunder Sect seem stingy, which was significant.

However, presenting a treasure worth more than twenty thousand crystals as stakes

This cost was too great.

He was a bit uneasy.

What if he lost? That would be a major embarrassment.

Seeing his hesitation, Cao Zhen frowned in dissatisfaction and said:

"Elder Yang, bring out the valuable treasures."

"Do you think I might lose to him?"
