236: Chapter 24 New Personal Instruction

Then the Qingyang Sect Sect Master looked at the crowd.

He announced loudly.

“From today onwards, Lu Fang will become the new Personal Disciple of the Qingyang Sect.”

As soon as he announced it.

Loud applause immediately erupted from below the stage.

The cheers of the crowd were like crashing waves.

After witnessing this magnificent duel.

Everyone's eyes were filled with fervor.

Within a single day, Lu Fang had gained a massive following.

Lu Chen was also surprised by the Sect Master's bold move.

“As far as I know, that Chaotian Sword Sect should be an extremely powerful Sect. Where does this Sect Master get his confidence from?”

“Or is the Sect hiding some secret? Well, whatever the reason, I will find out eventually.”

He couldn't help but think to himself.

Due to Lu Chen's secret manipulations.

Lu Fang had now become a Personal Disciple of the Qingyang Sect.

In his heart, he admired that obscure Senior immensely.

And he was deeply grateful.

“Thank you for helping me, Senior. If there is anything you need me to do, please just give the word. I will certainly find a way to accomplish it.”

This thought merely flashed through Lu Fang's mind.

He never expected to receive an answer.

“Oh, don't worry. I just want to nurture you a bit. New Personal Disciple, enjoy the glory that belongs to you for now. At dusk, come to the dense forest on the back mountain. I want to give you some proper training.”

Lu Fang was momentarily speechless.

“I only thought it in my head, yet the other party knew what I was thinking. If he wanted to, could he know every single thought in my mind?”

He couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

But then, his gaze fell upon the girl he loved.

Her eyes were still wide.

She was staring at him with sparkling eyes.

Her name was Lin Yue.

She was Lu Fang's childhood friend.

They had joined the Sect together.

She had awakened a Yellow Grade Spiritual Root.

Her Spirit Technique was a healing-type plant-based Spirit Technique.

Whenever Lu Fang was injured.

She would always heal his wounds in time.

Today, she had been trying to stop Lu Fang.

Because she knew he was no match for those people.

Lu Fang had always loved her deeply.

But he never dared to express his feelings.

Because he felt she might be better off with the other Personal Disciple who was also pursuing her.

So he chose to keep his distance.

Despite this.

Lin Yue would often come to find him.

She would spend important festivals with Lu Fang.

Lu Fang knew.

That she liked him too.

But he was very afraid.

If he showed any response.

That Personal Disciple might retaliate against her.

But today, everything was different.

Lu Fang himself was now a Personal Disciple.

His status was above all other Disciples.

Second only to the other Personal Disciples and Elders.

Not all Elders.

However, only the Grand Elder and the Sect Master were still above him.

The status of a Personal Disciple was equivalent to that of an ordinary Elder.

Lu Fang walked down from the Arena.

Lin Yue kept staring at him.

When she saw Lu Fang walking toward her.

She instinctively wanted to turn and leave.

She felt that Lu Fang was now in a completely different class from her.

Someone like her.

Was no longer worthy of him.

But just as she was about to turn and leave.

Lu Fang grabbed her hand from behind.

He gave a sudden pull.

And pulled her into his embrace.

“I like you, Lin Yue. Let's become Dao Companions.”

Lin Yue's breathing quickened.

Her eyes widened.

For a moment.

Her mind went blank.

But then.

As she slowly processed every word he said.

Her cheeks couldn't help but turn bright red.

She had always loved this childhood friend.

But she never dared to state her feelings out loud.

Worried that doing so would make his life a mess.

It was just that she couldn't help wanting to be near him whenever she had the chance.

Yet she had always suppressed her emotions.

Now.

The dam had burst.

All of her emotions came flooding out at once.

She hugged Lu Fang tightly.

Tears silently slid down her cheeks.

She was somewhat at a loss.

While at the same time feeling incredibly happy, joyful, excited, and relieved.

The Personal Disciple who had once pursued Lin Yue.

Saw this scene from afar.

But did not say a word.

He didn't even dare to breathe too loudly.

For fear of also being made to vanish by that monster.

When the Chaotian Sword Sect issued the challenge.

He was one of the eligible Personal Disciples.

But he had been terrified by the Aura they exuded.

So he hadn't stepped forward.

Lu Fang gently stroked Lin Yue's long hair.

He wiped away her tears.

And then gave her a gentle kiss on the cheek.

Lin Yue closed her eyes.

She was savoring this moment.

Remembering the feeling of this instant.

She thought to herself.

That as long as she lived.

She would never forget it.

Seeing this scene, Lu Chen's

heart also rippled slightly.

He thought of Nianwei.

The relationship between him and Nianwei had always been vague.

Undefinable.

Although they were engaged.

But they had never shared a moment like this.

Their connection sometimes felt more like a transaction.

—as if Luo Nianwei was a porcelain doll he had bought, rather than a partner.

They had never had a true connection of hearts.

He knew.

That due to the massive gap in their strength.

Luo Nianwei would never be able to express her own feelings.

Before him.

She was always the one feeling inferior.

Their emotions had never had the chance to be released.

But what was the point of realizing all this now?

He could not access the consciousness of his Main Body.

That person might still be in Seclusion right now.
