CHAPTER 403: OUR FAMILY HAS CHU XINGHE!

Ling Su was on the verge of tears...

Even if you want to target our Cloud Soar Sect, could you at least put on a show?

The same method, the same tone, our Ji Moran even used the exact same punctuation as Chu Xinghe, so why are we the ones getting criticized like crazy?

The Great Elder couldn't help but speak up at this point, "Brother Ling Su... Old Man Wuyang is the most senior figure on the Blazing Sun Continent. Treating him like this, is the Cloud Soar Sect insulting the old man, and us as well?"

Ling Su was flustered by the Great Elder's words.

How is this insulting the old man or you?

I was just copying homework, okay?

And I copied your Chu Xinghe's homework. I was so afraid of making a mistake that I didn't even change a punctuation mark. Besides, Old Man Wuyang, you said others set a golden example, so why can't we learn from it?

Didn't you say you don't like grand displays and care about appearances?

Isn't this a bit too ridiculous?

But just as Ling Su was feeling indignant, the Great Elder smiled slightly and said, "But ours is Chu Xinghe!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell silent for a full thirty seconds.

In response to the Great Elder's words, the elders from all the other sects nodded in agreement, indicating that the Great Elder had a point.

Do you, Ling Su, think we're targeting you?

Do you think we remained silent during such a grand welcoming ceremony at the Grand Sky Sect, but criticized you at the Cloud Soar Sect?

Do you think there's nothing wrong with copying homework... but have you considered one thing?

What is Ji Moran?

Saying he's in the top ten of the younger generation is already giving him face, okay?

If that's the case, how many people would challenge Ji Moran!

But what about Chu Xinghe?

The number one of the younger generation...

Chu Xinghe, whose intelligence is near-demonic...

Chu Xinghe, who never misses a calculation...

The future of the Grand Sky Sect, Chu Xinghe...

With the same welcoming ceremony, you have to consider who you're welcoming...

To put it bluntly, look at your Ji Moran, after saying those words, he didn't even have the courage to meet our gaze.

Why is that?

Because in Ji Moran's eyes, we are all the strongest in the world... and he, Ji Moran, is just a small junior, he doesn't dare to meet our eyes, he's just a small fry! ŕ₳₦ꝋВʧ

But look at Chu Xinghe at that time.

Standing in front of the Grand Sky Sect, he was poised and confident, whether facing Old Man Wuyang or us, the strongest. Although Xinghe maintained humility from beginning to end, he was never afraid.

He was humble out of respect for his seniors, not because he felt unworthy.

The outside world used to say that Chu Xinghe shouldn't be compared with the younger generation, as it was unfair to them.

Do you really think this is unreasonable noise from all sides?

Let's not even mention how during the Millennium Grand Festival, Chu Xinghe could talk freely with big shots from all sides. Just look at this evaluation, when Xinghe welcomed everyone, if you ignored his age, who would think Xinghe was part of the younger generation?

That calmness... that demeanor... how many hairs does your Ji Moran have to compare with Xinghe?

Ling Su was silent... deeply silent...

Because in the face of criticism from all sides, Ling Su couldn't find a single reason to refute.

Even as Ling Su looked at his own Ji Moran and thought of Chu Xinghe... although Ling Su deeply resented Chu Xinghe... he had to admit that Chu Xinghe's demeanor and way of handling things were not something the ordinary younger generation could compare to.

Even someone as outstanding as Zheng Yu seemed like a little follower next to Chu Xinghe.

Thinking back to the battle of the Great Moon Nation, Chu Xinghe came alone, yet even Ling Su was overshadowed by him.

So can you say Chu Xinghe is just a junior disciple?

When Chu Xinghe says he represents the Grand Sky Sect, he truly represents the Grand Sky Sect...

When Chu Xinghe speaks in the Grand Sky Sect, even the Sect Master and Great Elder have to carefully consider and watch the situation unfold...

But when our Ji Moran claims to represent the Cloud Soar Sect, even without outside interference, a group of disciples within our sect would jump out to question what qualifications Ji Moran has to represent the Cloud Soar Sect?

Comparison is the thief of joy, and comparing people can be deadly. Compared to Chu Xinghe, forget it... Chu Xinghe is a person, while our Ji Moran at most is just a commodity, and this commodity of ours needs to be discarded...

Ling Su's eyes were brimming with tears, and Old Man Wuyang looked at him with a disappointed expression, saying that when he mentioned setting a golden example, he meant learning from Martial Emperor City, not you, Ling Su, learning from the Grand Sky Sect.

No matter what, Ling Su knew that the Cloud Soar Sect's reputation for disrespecting seniors was inevitable.

But fortunately, although Ling Su copied the homework, he didn't copy everything, only the welcoming ceremony... the rest was relatively normal.

Ling Su personally led the evaluation team into the Cloud Soar Sect, originally planning to let everyone rest first and start the evaluation the next day, but Old Man Wuyang waved his hand, indicating that there was no need, and they should start immediately.

Faced with Old Man Wuyang's request, Ling Su didn't dare to argue and had to start directly.

The first item was the evaluation of high-end combat power.

Since it was high-end combat power, it had to start with Sect Master Xing Yushen.

But speaking of Sect Master Xing Yushen, Ling Su felt troubled again...

"Well... the Sect Master is currently in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Martial God realm!"

Upon hearing Ling Su's explanation, the room was silent for a full ten seconds, after which everyone's faces were filled with amusement.

What nonsense? Your Xing Yushen is in seclusion to break through to the Martial God realm?

Elder Ling Su... are you pulling our leg?

Do you think the Martial God realm is like the First or Second Grade?

That you can just break through by going into seclusion for a bit?

Fine! Let's say your Sect Master Xing Yushen is exceptionally talented, but can your talent surpass Cheng Xiaotian's?

When we went to Martial Emperor City, Cheng Xiaotian wasn't in seclusion, but your Sect Master is?

"Didn't Sect Master Xing suffer some injuries a while back... could he still be in seclusion healing?" The Great Elder spoke with a sarcastic tone.

And as soon as the Great Elder spoke, other elders chimed in.

"The power of Martial God Gu Mingchao is extraordinary, could Sect Master Xing's cultivation have been knocked down?"

"I heard Sect Master Xing was severely injured and coughed up several pounds of blood..."

"Really? I heard Sect Master Xing was on the brink of death from his injuries."

"The information I received is that Sect Master Xing's cultivation was knocked down to the Eighth Grade Martial Sovereign..."

The scene grew more and more outrageous, and Ling Su didn't know how to refute it.

Say our Sect Master wasn't injured?

Is that reasonable?

Being struck by Martial God Gu Mingchao, you say you weren't injured, no one would believe that!

But to say he was injured... wouldn't that just give the outside world more to talk about?

Various parties are now speculating about Xing Yushen's severe injuries, and if you confirm it, wouldn't that cause chaos?

The sect masters of those sects are eyeing us like tigers, and if they find out about Xing Yushen's severe injuries, wouldn't they come to challenge him overnight?

What nonsense?

You say you weren't injured? Then come out and fight...

If Xing Yushen can't win, then he'll have to move down the Heavenly Dao list, and the Cloud Soar Sect's position will have to move too!

So Ling Su was in a difficult position.

Say he was injured... and got trampled on... say he wasn't injured, and no one would believe it...

Ling Su's brain was about to explode, but before he could think of a solution, Old Man Wuyang had already started writing furiously.

"Sect Master Xing Yushen of the Cloud Soar Sect, having barely reached the Half-Step Martial God realm, became arrogant and overestimated his abilities by challenging Martial God Gu Mingchao, resulting in severe injuries, a significant drop in cultivation, and a short life expectancy!"

Upon seeing what Old Man Wuyang had written, everyone except Ling Su gave a thumbs up, praising Old Man Wuyang for his fairness and impartiality!

Ling Su's tears were falling at this point.

"Old Man Wuyang, the Sect Master is really just in seclusion, although injured, it's only a minor injury... it's nothing serious..."

But in response to Ling Su's words, Old Man Wuyang became furious on the spot.

"Ling Su... you are also a member of the evaluation team, and according to the rules, you cannot speak for the Cloud Soar Sect, you must avoid any conflict of interest, you're old enough to understand this, aren't you?"

"Look at the Great Elder of the Grand Sky Sect... when we went to the Grand Sky Sect, he didn't say a word, did he?"

"And the Great Elder of Martial Emperor City, he didn't say anything there either, right?"

In response to Old Man Wuyang's words, the other elders nodded in agreement, indicating that Old Man Wuyang was absolutely right.

The Great Elder of the Grand Sky Sect avoided conflicts of interest, the Great Elder of Martial Emperor City did too... why can't the Great Elder of the Cloud Soar Sect understand this?

So Old Man Wuyang sighed and continued writing furiously, "Great Elder Ling Su of the Cloud Soar Sect, as a member of the evaluation team, fails to avoid conflicts of interest, is selfish, biased in evaluations... lacking in both virtue and conduct!"

Everyone clapped and criticized Ling Su.

Ling Su, lacking in both virtue and conduct, was in tears...

You guys aren't even pretending anymore... this isn't targeting... you're just shearing the wool off our Cloud Soar Sect, aren't you?

I, Ling Su, may be shameless, but compared to you, at least I still have some shame!

But no matter what Ling Su said, it was useless. In the subsequent evaluation of high-end combat power, the Cloud Soar Sect was utterly miserable.

The Sect Master was severely injured, rumored to be on the brink of death...

Law Enforcement Elder Xie Songlin and Elder Liu were dead, and although the Cloud Soar Sect still had some high-end combat power, in Old Man Wuyang's description, the Sect Master of the Cloud Soar Sect was practically as good as dead...

That day, the Star Moon Sect, North Mystic City, and East Moon Pavilion received mysterious letters, and the three big shots simultaneously announced they would publicly challenge Sect Master Xing Yushen of the Cloud Soar Sect...

Even Wang Daoquan, the master of Yuxu Palace, jumped out to say he would challenge Xing Yushen, the Half-Step Martial God, after the three big shots were done.

Wang Daoquan stated that although Yuxu Palace has always been at the bottom of the Top Ten Sects, their true strength is not weak, and they also want to challenge the Cloud Soar Sect to test themselves...
