Chapter 447 Fan Zhibao Successfully Transcended The Tribulation
The Elders were filled with joy.
“Congratulations, Elder Chen Feng.”
“Congratulations, Elder Chen Feng! You have nurtured another Immortal.”
“Elder Chen Feng, you really make me jealous! All your disciples are so hardworking. On the other hand, I really can’t bear to look at my disciples.
“No matter what, I still have to congratulate you today.”
Today, Chen Feng was the happiest when Fan Zhibao successfully transcended the tribulation. He was beaming with joy as the elders came to congratulate him one after another.
Just then, Fan Zhibao walked in.
“Master!” Fan Zhibao knelt down in front of Chen Feng and bowed deeply.
Chen Feng immediately helped him up. “Quickly get up.” Fan Zhibao stood up and bowed to the other elders present.
The elders smiled and sized up Fan Zhibao.
Although there were many people who had obtained the Immortal Dao in less than 300 years, to most cultivators, it was actually very good.
In the entire cultivation community in the Immortal realm, Immortals only took up 1%.
From this, it could be seen how difficult it was to cultivate to the Immortal realm.
Then, Fan Zhibao received a bunch of rewards and chatted for a while before bidding farewell to the elders.
“Senior Brother Fan!”
Before Fan Zhibao could return to his residence, his lackey ran over from afar.
“What is it?” asked Fan Zhibao coldly.
“Senior Brother, that fellow gave Junior Sister Gu a hairpin two days ago.”
“Hmm?” Fan Zhibao frowned when he heard that. A cold, killing intent burst out from his eyes.
The air around him vibrated, and the ground beneath his feet cracked.
Sensing this suffocating aura, the lackey was terrified.
He asked softly, “Senior Brother, you succeeded?”
Fan Zhibao didn’t answer. Instead, he immediately returned to his room to change his clothes before rushing to the Dao Technique Chamber.
“Senior Brother, wait for me!”
Fan Zhibao disappeared, and the lackey instantly understood that the Fan Zhibao now was different from ten days ago.
Dao Technique Chamber.
It was noon.
At noon, the receptionists at the Dao Technique Chamber had half an hour of rest.
Gu Mengyao and Lu Yiping were drinking delicious fruit juice in the lounge.
“Mengyao, I heard that Fan Zhibao transcended the immortal tribulation today,” Lu Yiping suddenly said.
Gu Mengyao drank her juice and nodded. “I heard about that too.”
“Actually! Other than being a little petty, everything else about Fan Zhibao is fine. At least in terms of looks, he’s quite compatible with you,” said Lu Yiping.
Gu Mengyao put down her cup. “Him! In the Luo Ding Sect, his aptitude is indeed top-notch, but compared to the paragons on the Chosen Roll, the difference between them is like that between the clouds and mud.”
Lu Yiping said disdainfully, “All you know is the Chosen Roll. Can’t you look closer?
“Those paragons can only appear in dreams, so don’t be stubborn.”
Gu Mengyao said firmly, “This isn’t about being stubborn. This is called aspiration.
“If I really had to choose Fan Zhibao, given his magnanimity, do you think I would still be so free in the future?”
Lu Yiping did not refute. “Then, are you not going to consider Junior Brother Xiaoming?
“Look at the hairpins he bought. He has great taste. There aren’t many like him who understand women’s hearts so well.”
With that, Lu Yiping removed the dark green jade hairpin from her hair and began examining it.
Gu Mengyao seemed to be deep in thought. With a smile, he said, “Junior Brother Xiaoming is indeed quite nice, but I only see him as a good friend. Besides, he doesn’t have any other intentions towards me.” Lu Yiping immediately said, “He already gave you a hairpin. Isn’t that obvious?”
Gu Mengyao retorted, “Don’t you have one too?”
Lu Yiping shook the hairpin in her hand. “You have to know that I’m your best friend!
“If he wanted to woo you, he would definitely have to go through me. If anyone bribed me, they would have you in their hands in minutes.
“That’s why I said that this Junior Brother Xiaoming understands us women very well.
“It’s just that as an insider, you can’t see clearly. Or rather, you know but refuse to admit it.”
“Really?” After hearing Lu Yiping’s words, Gu Mengyao seemed to have a different idea. She began to recall his interactions with Qin Chuan.
As she pondered, a tall figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the lounge.
“Senior Brother, this is the logistics lounge of the Dao Technique Chamber. Outsiders are not allowed in. Please leave,” someone said immediately.
Fan Zhibao took out the elder’s token. “I’m looking for Gu Mengyao!”
The person immediately became respectful when he saw the token.
“Please… please wait!”
The elders of the Luo Ding Sect enjoyed some privileges. For example, this was an employee area of the Dao Technique Court. Outsiders were not allowed to enter, but elders were.
Fan Zhibao also noticed that this place was filled with girls. If someone was changing or something else inside, it would affect his reputation.
“Senior Sister Gu, an elder is looking for you outside.”
Gu Mengyao was stunned for a moment, then asked, “Which elder is it?”
“I don’t know but he looks quite young. He looks a little aloof.”
With that said, Gu Mengyao and Lu Yiping looked at each other and realized who it was.
“I’ll go with you.” Lu Yiping immediately stood up. Gu Mengyao knew Lu Yiping’s temper, so she had no choice but to let her come with her.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the entrance.
As they had expected, it was indeed Fan Zhibao.
When Fan Zhibao saw Gu Mengyao, he immediately became exceptionally gentle. He no longer carried the dark aloofness.
“Long time no see, Junior Sister Gu,” said Fan Zhibao with a smile.
Gu Mengyao didn’t want to make unnecessary talk with him and asked directly, “Senior Brother Fan, why are you looking for me?” Fan Zhibao still had a smile on his face as he said in a gentle voice, “I’ve successfully transcended the tribulation and obtained the Immortal Dao. For such a joyous occasion, I plan to hold a banquet and invite some friends over for a gathering. I wonder if Junior Sister has time tonight?”
Without any hesitation, Gu Mengyao decisively refused. “Thank you for your kind intentions, Senior Brother, but I really don’t have the time.”
Fan Zhibao quickly said, “If you don’t have time tonight, I can postpone the banquet.”
“I probably won’t be the time in the future as well. Even if I do, I won’t attend, but I give you my blessings.”
At this point, Fan Zhibao wouldn’t be able to get anything out of her no matter how hard he tried to pander to her.
He noticed the hairpin on Gu Mengyao’s head.
This was something he had never seen before. He instantly guessed that it must be the hairpin given by Qin Chuan.
Instantly, his expression darkened.
Being rejected time and time again already made him feel very embarrassed. When he saw the hairpin given by Qin Chuan, he felt even more like a clown.
“Junior Sister, how am I inferior to him?
“In terms of aptitude, I reached the Immortal realm with less than 300 years of cultivation. This is considered one of the best records in the history of the sect.
“In terms of looks, I’m miles ahead of him.
“In terms of background, my master is Elder Chen Feng, the second Dean of the Sword Dao office, and my grandparents are Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals.
“What about him? What does he have? How can he compare to me?”
Fan Zhibao grabbed Gu Mengyao’s arms, shaking her hard as his spiraling emotions.
Gu Mengyao felt her arms hurt. Her bones were about to break.
Lu Yiping pushed Fan Zhibao away forcefully and rubbed Gu Mengyao’s arms. She asked in concern, “Mengyao, are you alright?”
Gu Mengyao endured the pain and shook her head. She squeezed out a smile. “I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.” Lu Yiping turned around and scolded Fan Zhibao angrily, “Are you a man? Do you know that you just hurt Mengyao?”
Only then did Fan Zhibao react.
“Junior Sister, it was my fault just now. I couldn’t control his emotions and hurt you. Is your injury serious?
“I have supreme-grade healing pills and good medication for external use here. Quickly take them.” Fan Zhibao was especially flustered. His head was covered in a cold sweat.
Gu Mengyao ignored him. She was really disappointed in Fan Zhibao today.
She tugged at Lu Yiping’s wrist. “Yiping, let’s
go!”
Lu Yiping glared at Fan Zhibao and said ruthlessly, “Don’t think that you’re impressive just because you’ve become an Immortal. If anything happens to Mengyao, you can forget about staying in the Luo Ding Sect.”
With that, she and Gu Mengyao turned around and left.
Fan Zhibao stood at the entrance in a daze. His heart was sinking, and a fire was burning fiercely in his body.
He felt that everything that happened today was all Qin Chuan’s fault. Without him, nothing would have happened.
If not for Qin Chuan’s interference, Gu Mengyao would have long been his.
Before long, Fan Zhibao left the place and headed straight upstairs.
