The Strongest Prodigy Doctor
Chapter 358 - 458: Different Paths, No Common Goals
Bai Feng carefully examined the Celestial Fragrance Seal in Tian Chun's hand, then changed his expression from a longing gaze to one of disdain as he said, "This is a fake, and it's already slightly cracked from resisting the Qilin Seal."
"You're talking nonsense."
Even before Ye Tianfan and the others could say anything, upon hearing this, Tian Chun tightly grasped the Celestial Fragrance Seal and pointed at Bai Feng, cursing him. This was originally his Magical Treasure, how could he not know if it had cracks? He just wanted to put on a brave face, but was exposed by Bai Feng, and Tian Chun couldn't accept this fact.
Clearly, this Celestial Fragrance Seal was the best among a pile of replicas, the one closest to the real Celestial Fragrance Seal, so why, why did it crack just from a light touch with a small seal?
Since childhood, I was different from others, exceptionally talented. Other children were always very jealous of me, even secretly isolating me. I knew all this, but I didn't care because I could get anything I wanted.
Even though they isolated me secretly, they openly tried very hard to curry favor with me, because my grandfather is the Great Elder of the Celestial Fragrance Sect, possessing even more power than the Sect Leader. I knew they didn't like me, they even hated me inside because I took their resources, but I didn't care about that either, I actually enjoyed this feeling.
The more they hated me, the happier I became, because I knew it was their near-desperate sense of powerlessness turning into hatred, a hatred that could not materialize into reality due to the gap in our backgrounds. I was born with all the resources. Whatever I want, I get; whether elixirs, magical treasures, or cultivation techniques, my Great Elder grandfather would find ways to get them for me.
I wanted World-Defying Techniques, so grandfather found excuses to destroy a few sects and brought their Sect's Secret Techniques to me to choose from, but I didn't choose. Only children make choices; I trained in all of them.
One day, I set my eyes on the Celestial Fragrance Seal, but only the Sect Leader can obtain it. I wanted to become the Sect Leader, but lacked the strength. However, grandfather had already talked it over with the current useless Sect Leader; once I reached the Hundred Convergences Realm, the Sect Leader position would be handed over to me.
Before this, grandfather had mobilized everyone capable of artifact refining in the Celestial Fragrance Sect to create twelve Celestial Fragrance Seals for me, and selected the best one, the counterfeit closest to the real Celestial Fragrance Seal, for my use. Why, why did this Celestial Fragrance Seal crack so easily?
No, this can't be right, something must be wrong. Why did the Celestial Fragrance Seal crack? That Taichu Sect trash, his Magical Treasure couldn't possibly be better than mine, it couldn't be. He must have used some trickery, some demonic trick; otherwise, my Celestial Fragrance Seal couldn't possibly crack.
Tian Chun thought, shooting a murderous gaze toward Bai Feng, and not just Bai Feng; Tian Chun harbored killing intent toward everyone present, because they all knew about this, and this group of trash would definitely spread the word, as they were jealous of him and wanted to make him look bad. Tian Chun wanted to take out another Magical Treasure from his sleeve but put it down upon seeing the few on guard.
Though Tian Chun was arrogant and conceited, he wasn't too stupid. In a two-versus-eight situation, he couldn't possibly win; besides, Tian Yun was just a useless tag-along, merely here to take care of his daily needs.
Thinking of facing off alone against eight people, it was indeed impossible.
Thus, Tian Chun snorted coldly, turned around, and headed toward Polo Cave. He didn't want to stay with these useless people any longer for fear he wouldn't be able to resist slaughtering them. After all, he was in a very bad mood and needed to take out a few from the Demon Sect to vent his anger.
Yu Ping, seeing this scene, although he didn't like Tian Chun, still had a kind nature and wanted to stop him from taking risks.
"Hey..." Just as Yu Ping reached out to stop Tian Chun, Ma Feiyun grabbed Yu Ping's extended hand and shook his head, saying, "Since he has this confidence, let him go by himself. If he really encounters danger, I think he'll be able to hold on for a while, long enough for us to rescue him."
Tian Yun saw that no one was stopping Tian Chun and quickly followed, knowing that nothing must happen to Tian Chun, not even a single hair must be lost, otherwise if the Great Elder found out, he'd be done for.
Ye Tianfan watched as Tian Chun and Tian Yun left, but said nothing. After all, this person was really detestable, but if he really died here, it would be a trouble since the Celestial Fragrance Sect would probably come after them.
"It's so late, let's rest first; we'll head in tomorrow morning!" Senior Brother Yun Tian said, looking at the backs of the two leaving.
"But, they..." Yu Ping still felt somewhat uneasy regarding Tian Chun and Tian Yun.
"Probably just looking for a place to sleep for the night. It's late, and only the two of them; even with ten times the guts, they wouldn't dare attack a Demon Sect faction with just two people, let alone the girl's skills aren't up to much!" said Bang Dali.
The reason he said this was because he wasn't very smart, but even he knew that taking on a sect with just one or two people was suicidal, let alone Tian Chun's Magical Treasure had cracked, rendering him nearly useless. Without a Magical Treasure, his strength was significantly lesser.
"Hopefully!" Yu Ping, though still uneasy, had no choice but to hope that Tian Chun and the others wouldn't recklessly attack the people inside!
"I don't have extra tents, so if you don't mind, how about two people share a tent?" Senior Brother Yun Tian inquired of the group.
The group had no objections; after all, the tents looked quite large, and two people sharing wouldn't be too cramped.
"In that case, how about the two from the Virtue Sect share a tent; the two from the Dali Sect share another tent; and the remaining two tents will be for us from the Taichu Sect?" Senior Brother Yun Tian continued.
Again, no objections from the group, as sleeping in a tent with one's fellow disciples was preferable to sharing with outsiders.
"Then Junior Brother Bai Feng and Junior Brother Tianfan can share a tent, and I'll share a tent with Junior Brother Feiyun." Senior Brother Yun Tian said to Ye Tianfan and the other Taichu Sect disciples.
With no objections from Ye Tianfan and the others, he then explained the night watch, dividing the watch order before concluding.
The watch order remained with Ye Tianfan in the first watch, but now it would be Ye Tianfan and Bai Feng together. The second watch was the two from the Virtue Sect, and the third watch was Senior Brother Yun Tian, as it was the worst shift and couldn't be given to any other sect lest they be seen as overly domineering. The fourth watch would be the two from the Dali Sect.
With that settled, the group began to sleep.
