I Just Want To Destroy The Sect, But How Did I Become A God Against All Odds
Chapter 258: My luck isn't great, but I have some ideas!
When Zuo Fei realized he had become the lucky winner, he was completely stunned. How could our Heavenly Sword Alliance win twice in a single draw?
At this moment, Zuo Fei looked at Senior Brother Xinghe on stage, smiling and waving for him to come up and claim his prize. For some reason, Zuo Fei felt a bit embarrassed.
Zuo Fei was born with a sword physique and had been a prodigy in the Heavenly Sword Alliance since he joined. This time, with the Fortune Law Sword awakened by him, Zuo Fei had become the future and the hope of the Heavenly Sword Alliance.
With the praise from elders and fellow disciples, Zuo Fei had indeed been feeling a bit inflated lately.
On the way to the Grand Sky Sect, Senior Brother Hu Zhengqin had been subtly reminding him that the Fortune Law Sword was definitely not inferior to the Grand Sky Sword Box.
His innate sword physique was certainly not inferior to Chu Xinghe.
If he could defeat Chu Xinghe, Zuo Fei would surely soar to the top, becoming the number one of the new young generation.
What young man doesn't have a bit of passion?
Zuo Fei was successfully led astray by Hu Zhengqin, which led to him jumping out to challenge Chu Xinghe on the spot.
But reality hit Zuo Fei hard.
What innate sword physique... what prodigy... what unparalleled swordsmanship... In front of Senior Brother Xinghe, he couldn't even manage to draw his sword before being defeated miserably.
When Zuo Fei woke up, he was initially in despair. It was only under the consolation of the big shots of the Heavenly Sword Alliance that he managed to stabilize his emotions.
Although today he came to participate in the grand lucky draw, every time Zuo Fei saw Senior Brother Xinghe on stage, he felt as if Senior Brother Xinghe was intentionally or unintentionally mocking him.
Zuo Fei thought Senior Brother Xinghe must look down on him, right?
He even worried that his reckless behavior might have caused the entire Heavenly Sword Alliance to be targeted by the Grand Sky Sect.
Zuo Fei felt that his impulsiveness had brought harm to the entire sect.
But just as Zuo Fei was blaming himself, the first prize drawn turned out to be for the Heavenly Sword Alliance?
At that moment, Zuo Fei's first reaction was that there was a conspiracy!
Could it be that Chu Xinghe drew someone from their Heavenly Sword Alliance first to use this opportunity to humiliate them?
After all, everyone knew there was some trickery in this grand lucky draw, right?
But when Zuo Fei saw their Great Elder returning with the Flute of Time and Space, he was dumbfounded...
There was no targeting? No insult?
Senior Brother Xinghe just congratulated the Heavenly Sword Alliance for taking the lead, then smiled and sent the Great Elder back?
Before Zuo Fei could understand what was going on, the final draw turned out to be him, Zuo Fei?
"Junior Brother Zuo Fei... why are you still standing there? Come up and claim your prize, Heavenly Sword Alliance won twice, congratulations..."
Listening to Senior Brother Xinghe's words and looking at his smiling face on stage, Zuo Fei felt that he not only lost to Senior Brother Xinghe in martial arts but also in character.
Honestly, if he were in Senior Brother Xinghe's place, could he be so magnanimous?
Zuo Fei felt he couldn't.
But Senior Brother Xinghe's smile and eyes were filled with sincerity, and this grand lucky draw highlighted sincerity.
There was no trickery involved!
Even the Heavenly Sword Alliance wasn't targeted at all.
"Senior Brother Xinghe, Zuo Fei was reckless before. Thank you for not holding a grudge. I am ashamed."
Zuo Fei, upon reaching the stage, didn't immediately take the Flute of Time and Space but instead clasped his fists and bowed to Chu Xinghe, apologizing.
It was during Senior Brother Feng Fei's wedding, and he had challenged him, which was somewhat impolite. Zuo Fei now realized his behavior was inappropriate.
If it were another day, if he had waited until after Senior Brother Feng Fei's wedding, there would have been no problem with challenging him, but the timing was awkward.
"Junior Brother Zuo Fei, you're joking. It was just a spar, no need for apologies. But you're still young and have a long way to go. Think thrice before acting in the future. Alright, alright... I'm talking too much on this joyous day. Come, accept the Flute of Time and Space from our Grand Sky Sect!"
Chu Xinghe handed the Flute of Time and Space to the teary-eyed Zuo Fei with a smile.
Chu Xinghe's words made the big shots below nod in agreement.
It had to be this kid Xinghe... Zuo Fei's proactive apology was met with Xinghe's magnanimity, brushing it off as just a spar, and his advice to think thrice was even more brilliant.
The most brilliant part was Xinghe knowing when to stop, not lecturing Zuo Fei further.
After all, Zuo Fei wasn't a disciple of the Grand Sky Sect; he was from the Heavenly Sword Alliance. If Chu Xinghe had given a long speech, regardless of Zuo Fei's acceptance, the Heavenly Sword Alliance would have been displeased.
But now, with just a mention of sparring and thinking thrice, everything that needed to be said was said, perfectly controlling the situation. Even the people from the Heavenly Sword Alliance felt a bit embarrassed.
They used to say not to lose face even if you lose, but today the Heavenly Sword Alliance not only lost face but also lost the battle. The key point was that Chu Xinghe's magnanimity was truly vast.
Why does Heaven favor the Grand Sky Sect so much, sending such good disciples to them and not to other sects?
The first draw ended smoothly, and the Great Elder personally went on stage to summarize a few words.
He congratulated the lucky ones and encouraged those who didn't win.
The Great Elder maintained a smile throughout because Xinghe's handling of the small conflict with the Heavenly Sword Alliance today truly comforted him.
The Grand Sky Sect, as the number one sect, not only needed the aura of the number one sect but also the magnanimity of the number one sect.
Xinghe's magnanimity was truly vast.
Just like the ocean he accidentally took him to see last time through the teleportation array...
Originally, the Heavenly Sword Alliance's provocation could have led to a cold relationship with the Grand Sky Sect, but today, through this draw, Xinghe's approach showed the Grand Sky Sect's magnanimity without targeting the Heavenly Sword Alliance.
It also let the Heavenly Sword Alliance understand why the Grand Sky Sect was the number one sect.
Although Xinghe didn't say much today, you could see the expressions of the big shots from the Heavenly Sword Alliance; they probably felt a bit embarrassed themselves...
Without the Grand Sky Sect saying much, they would probably investigate the matter themselves after returning.
The Great Elder's prediction proved correct. After the draw, the leader of the Heavenly Sword Alliance, Lu Yong, found Zuo Fei to understand the entire incident.
Upon learning that Hu Zhengqin had been subtly instigating the whole time, Lu Yong's face turned very unpleasant.
Hu Zhengqin was previously the most talented disciple of the Heavenly Sword Alliance, even rumored to be the future successor. However, Zuo Fei's arrival challenged Hu Zhengqin's status in the sect.
Zuo Fei might not understand Hu Zhengqin's actions, but the old fellows certainly did.
Hu Zhengqin was using Zuo Fei as a pawn, and the so-called ambush on Chu Xinghe seemed like helping a junior, but in reality, it was to provoke Chu Xinghe. If Chu Xinghe, in anger, crippled Zuo Fei, Hu Zhengqin would be overjoyed.
That night, Lu Yong personally announced the removal of Hu Zhengqin's status as a personal disciple, demoting him to an ordinary disciple, and punishing him with closed-door reflection, not allowing him to leave the Heavenly Sword Alliance for three years.
This news caused quite a stir.
However, even without knowing the details, the old foxes could deduce the situation from some clues.
Not every sect has a Chu Xinghe or a Zheng Yu...
Zheng Yu, with his extraordinary talent and the inheritance of the Seven-Colored Glazed Body, had an unshakable future as the Lord of Martial Emperor City. Even if some people behind Martial Emperor City were dissatisfied, who would dare to challenge Cheng Xiaotian?
Zheng Yu wasn't easy to deal with either... Don't be fooled by his fanboy demeanor in front of Chu Xinghe; when he devours someone, he doesn't even leave bones.
As for Chu Xinghe, there's no need to say more. Previously, it was only hearsay about his extraordinary status in the Grand Sky Sect. Now, having personally visited the Grand Sky Sect and listened to their descriptions of Chu Xinghe, everyone realized his terrifying status there.
Although Chu Xinghe was officially just the Great Elder's personal disciple, and from a certain perspective, his status was lower than Ma Liang, the Deputy Sect Master's personal disciple.
But look at how Ma Liang looks at Chu Xinghe; if Chu Xinghe told Ma Liang to dig a hole and bury himself, Ma Liang wouldn't have a shred of doubt.
So not every sect has a Chu Xinghe or a Zheng Yu, which is why disciples in other sects compete fiercely, both openly and covertly.
The big shots could easily see through Hu Zhengqin's little schemes.
Zuo Fei, due to his youth and lack of experience, didn't realize he was being used.
But the Heavenly Sword Alliance's situation made everyone sigh... Why don't we have a Chu Xinghe?
If not, even a Zheng Yu would do...
Look at the Grand Sky Sect; when Chu Xinghe gives an order, all disciples unite sincerely, without a single dissenting voice.
And they genuinely respect and support Chu Xinghe.
Although Zheng Yu is slightly inferior to Chu Xinghe, in Martial Emperor City, under his iron-fisted methods, there aren't many who dare to disobey.
Looking at other sects' disciples and then at their own... constantly fighting for more resources, trying to win the favor of sect elders, backstabbing each other at the slightest disagreement, scheming against one another...
Why is there such a big difference between disciples of the same sect?
Why are the Grand Sky Sect and Martial Emperor City so lucky?
Inside the Grand Sky Sect, in the resting area of Martial Emperor City, Zheng Yu was unaware of the outside discussions. At this moment, he was thinking, what nonsense are you talking about?
Which eye of yours sees our Martial Emperor City as lucky? That's slander, you know!
Why didn't we draw a single Flute of Time and Space today?
Are we really that unlucky?
What? You say Senior Brother Xinghe cheated?
You're underestimating Senior Brother Xinghe!
Zheng Yu believed that Senior Brother Xinghe would never do something so despicable. After all, with seventy Flutes of Time and Space, why resort to such petty tricks?
So there's only one reason... Martial Emperor City's luck isn't great...
But Zheng Yu had no solution for luck, so he started thinking about how to break the luck curse and get more Flutes of Time and Space for Martial Emperor City.
Suddenly, Zheng Yu's eyes lit up with a new idea...
With that thought, Zheng Yu didn't say much, got up, and went straight to the Spirit Crane Palace. Soon, he walked out with a satisfied look. He had already asked the Great Elder, and after getting his approval, Zheng Yu was thrilled...
Senior Brother Xinghe! Although my luck isn't great, I've got ideas!
