Chapter 362: Chapter 108: Fang Che’s Social Death, Volcanic Eruption [Ten Thousand Words]
Dongfang Sansan and Gu Changhan both had awkward expressions.
If you know, you’re talking about training disciples, but if you don’t, you’d think you were eating a whole roasted lamb...
"...In short, now that his foundation has been supplemented, his sword bone is sharper, and his cultivation is at the first grade Martial General, I didn’t push him too hard. Because he missed the opportunity to lay a solid foundation at a young age, he needs to catch up. But this kid is truly hardworking, practicing swordsmanship for more than eight hours a day..."
The Ningxue Sword smiled like a blossoming flower, saying: "Once his problems are resolved, unless something unexpected happens, his future should be longer than mine. Thank you, Ninth Brother, I can count on having a successor now."
Dongfang Sansan nodded and said: "That’s good."
Gu Changhan stood there dumbfounded.
Ningxue Sword admitting that his disciple would go further than himself in the future? Such words are not said lightly!
Doesn’t that mean reaching Xue Fuxiao’s level?
Is there really such a genius?
In his mind, he went over each of the disciples at his sect, each of them quite decent, with quite a few super geniuses among them, but to say who has the potential to surpass him... he really couldn’t see it now.
He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
The Guardians are indeed teeming with talent and geniuses.
It seems this disciple was found for Ningxue Sword by Dongfang Sansan?
Dongfang Sansan nonchalantly used Ding Jie Ran to strike a blow to Gu Changhan, breaking apart the pride of "our Outer World Mountain Sect disciples are all top geniuses" in Gu Changhan’s heart, without leaving a trace.
Only then did he say to Gu Changhan: "Elder Gu, we are now considered family. Some words, we might as well speak openly and honestly."
Gu Changhan forced a bitter smile and said: "Ninth lord, please speak."
"Heh... gah!"
Ningxue Sword laughed heartily.
Gu Changhan’s face darkened again.
"You leave."
Dongfang Sansan looked at Ningxue Sword, pointing toward the door.
"..."
Ningxue Sword sulkily shook his head and walked out.
Really wanted to continue listening to Gu Changhan call Ninth lord... what a pity, what a pity.
"The Hanjian Mountain Sect, for thousands upon thousands of years, has always guarded the Mountain Gate, and each time the disciples went out for training, there were not many. But this time, almost everyone came out... there must be a reason for it."
Dongfang Sansan smiled and said: "And this reason is not because of the great contention of the world or... Nightly Observation of the Heavens."
Dongfang Sansan smiled very mysteriously.
Gu Changhan blushed.
He coughed a few times.
He knew very well that the stories he made up were just excuses, not at all able to fool someone wise like Dongfang Sansan.
"One could only say, it’s half true and half false."
Gu Changhan sighed and said: "The sect has been peaceful for too long, and without life-and-death trials, the disciples find it difficult to grow; that’s one. The second reason is... not afraid of being laughed at by the Ninth lord, there have been internal sect disputes for a long time, so it’s better to release them to fight against the Demon Sect, uniting everyone with a common enemy. The third reason still is... in the great world competition, where heroes constantly appear, not participating could possibly lead to being left behind."
Dongfang Sansan smiled at him.
His face clearly said: keep fabricating.
"Ahem... and there is, I met a person last time, which had a certain impact on me."
Gu Changhan awkwardly said.
Dongfang Sansan thought to himself that indeed some stimulus was needed, this now made sense.
Otherwise, how could you old turtles suddenly emerge?
Laughing, he said: "Brother Gu should have a mind like a rock, how could your mental realm be stirred, it seems this person is extraordinary?"
"This person is just a small Guardian of the Great Hall steward."
Gu Changhan sighed and said: "Originally, my mind was indeed like a rock. Many from the Guardians came to persuade me, but I was never moved, but somehow, that day I was truly touched. Because I could feel the earnest and passionate boldness of that junior steward."
"Normally, younger people don’t dare to speak in front of me, but he dared to curse at me face-to-face."
"Not only did he scold me, but he also made me feel... that he was right."
Dongfang Sansan laughed heartily, and had a vague guess of who it was: "That’s interesting, tell me more about it."
"That day I..."
Gu Changhan recounted the event, smiling wryly: "I, Gu Changhan, never thought I’d be made to feel ashamed by a youngster and left speechless. Returning to the sect, I thought it over carefully and discussed it with everyone..."
"It truly was because of the sect’s internal strife making things impossible, so we simply let everyone out."
Dongfang Sansan silently nodded, thinking: it must have been Fang Che.
Suddenly, he was immensely pleased in his heart.
Fang Che actually managed to bring down such a large sect... though the sect’s internal issues were indeed due to their own circumstances, no matter what...
The fact they could come out to fight demons is good news.
Fang Che deserves full credit.
Instantly, Dongfang Sansan felt even more delighted in his heart.
He even felt, the burden on his shoulders was lightened substantially.
If later on more of this kind of sect could be brought in... ha-ha, thinking about it, a smile appeared on Dongfang Sansan’s face: this thing, it seems isn’t impossible.
"Hanjian Mountain Sect, how many people are there now?" Dongfang Sansan asked.
"Including families and the elderly and weak, there are over 60,000 people combined." Gu Changhan said.
Dongfang Sansan estimated a bit: "So this time, over 17,000 people are half of the disciples who came out?"
"Yes, all disciples are divided into two groups. After this group comes out, they have two years, then a new batch will replace them, ensuring there is always someone from the sect." Gu Changhan coughed.
Dongfang Sansan noticed a bit of embarrassment in the other’s heart, laughter in his eyes, in order to deepen Gu Changhan’s sense of shame, it would help in pulling more people out in the future; so he said meaningfully: "The higher-ups basically didn’t move, did they?"
