A deliberate, rhetorical question!

Fang Lin looked around, then with a perfect display of innocence, he said to

Qing Jianzi, “I don’t think Fang Lin is here.”

Everyone:

Dugu Nian, who was standing next to Fang Lin, looked at him with a smile. This guy really knew how to act – did he think everyone else was a fool?

Even Qing Jianzi did not expect Fang Lin to be such a good actor, and couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile.

“Fang, I came here just to meet you. You shouldn’t behave like this.” Qing Jianzi said as he looked at Fang Lin with a faint smile.

Fang Lin furrowed his brows and said, “Brother, I think you’ve got the wrong person. My name is Fang Damu, and Fang is not here.”

Puh!

Dugu Nian couldn’t hold back anymore. When she heard the name ‘Fang Damu’, she burst out laughing.

Fang Lin gave her an annoyed look. I was keeping up my act perfectly, but you just blew my cover with your laugh.

It’s not like Fang Lin wanted to behave this way, he just wasn’t sure about the intention of Qing Jianzi. If this guy was here to mess with him, wouldn’t that be the end of him?

Even though it was his first time meeting Qing Jianzi, Fang Lin could feel the threat he posed.

Fang Lin was very clear in his mind. He was definitely no match for Qing Jianzi. Even if they hadn’t fought before, Fang Lin already knew this very well.

This was a very formidable man, at least, Fang Lin hadn’t met many who were more formidable than Qing Jianzi.

“Fang, to not mince words, I’ve been entrusted by Miss Han to meet with you.” Qing Jianzi said in a slightly friendly manner.

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin’s eyebrows shot up, and the others also looked surprised.

“Miss Han? I don’t quite understand, brother.” said Fang Lin, calm as ever.

Qing Jianzi glanced at the people around him and didn’t hold back. He said to Fang Lin, “I am a good friend of both Miss Han and Miss Han Xiaoxing. They asked me to come and meet you, the rising star of the Purple Mist Sect. I also hope to familiarize myself with you, so I came here. Please don’t misunderstand.”

Hearing this, and observing Qing Jianzi’s expression, Fang Lin was fairly certain that things were as he said. A smile then appeared on his face.

“If you had said this earlier, I wouldn’t have had to play dumb.” Fang Lin laughed.

Qing Jianzi gave a wry smile, “Do I really look so ferocious?”

Fang Lin laughed loudly, and Qing Jianzi joined in with a hearty laugh of his own.

“There’s also one other thing. I heard that you’ve broken through to the Earth Element level. As a rare expert among the disciples of the Pill Sect, I’m itching for a contest with you. Would you oblige me, brother?” Qing Jianzi suddenly asked.

Fang Lin’s smile froze on his face, and he almost cursed aloud.

You spoke of no ill intentions, but this is clearly you looking for trouble. You’re so cunning, and even used Miss Han to trick me.

Qing Jianzi shook his head and said, “Brother, don’t underrate yourself. Given that you dealt with Wang Xuanlong so easily, your strength is already evident. Moreover, I promise to stop as soon as the winner is clear during our contest and won’t hurt you.”

Like hell I would trust you!

Fang Lin thought to himself as he continued shaking his head.

Even though continuously avoiding the contest would be quite disgraceful, Imowingly challenging someone far stronger, and then being defeated humiliatingly afterward would be an actual loss of face.

Seeing Fang Lin’s persistent refusal, disappointment appeared on Qing Jianzi’s face, but he didn’t insist. “In that case, I won’t force you, Brother. However, I will challenge you in the future, and I hope at that time you won’t refuse again.”

Fang Lin immediately patted his chest and said, “As soon as I break through the Heavenly Origin realm, I will give you a satisfying contest, Brother.”

Qing Jianzi’s mouth twitched, and the others also looked somewhat bewildered.

“Ahem, I have to go soon. Now that we’ve met, naturally I ought to offer you a gift.” Qing Jianzi said, reaching into his Nine Palace Bag and took out a jade slip.

“Please accept this, Brother. It’s a sword manual.” Qing Jianzi handed over the jade slip to Fang Lin and promptly made his leave.

Fang Lin held the jade slip but didn’t examine it in detail. Instead, he directly placed it into his Nine Palace Bag with a rather good mood.

“This Qing Jianzi is thoughtful enough to know to give a meeting gift.” Fang Lin thought secretly. Then he abruptly remembered, wasn’t he supposed to give Qing Jianzi a meeting gift too?

This thought only flickered in Fang Lin’s mind for a moment before it vanished without a trace.

“Fang, your network is really extraordinary, you even managed to befriend Brother Qing Jianzi.” Ouyang Jing and the others approached with a hint of envy and surpise.

Fang Lin asked in confusion, “Who exactly is Qing Jianzi?

The three of them looked at each other, all thinking: after all this, you still don’t know who Qing Jianzi is.

So, Meng Chaoyang explained to Fang Lin.

Upon hearing Meng Chaoyang’s explanation, Fang Lin widened his eyes in awe and marveled, secretly exclaiming his luck.

“That was a close call. If I really had contested with Qing Jianzi, I would have lost face big time.” Fang Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that he understood, this Qing Jianzi was regarded as the number one among the disciples of the Martial Sect, and this wasn’t just the opinion of his peers, but the elders of the entire Martial Sect too.

Number one in the Martial Sect!

Moreover, Qing Jianzi was a true disciple of the Martial Sect.

Qing Jianzi’s master wasn’t Xing Tianxiao, the head of the Martial Sect, but rather, Han Luoyun’s brother – Han Mufeng, who was among the strongest in Purple Mist Sect.

Even Xing Tianxiao admitted that he wasn’t qualified to be Qing Jianzi’s master. He had no choice but to let Sect Master’s brother Han Mufeng, one of the top fighters of the Purple Mist Sect, guide Qing Jianzi.

Though the Martial Sect did have other true disciples, none of them could compare to Qing Jianzi, in both strength and status.

Many people believed that within ten years, Qing Jianzi would have strength comparable to that of Xing Tianxiao, making him the likely successor as the head of Martial Sect.

When the Pill Sect’s Medicine-Seeking Peak opened previously, the Martial Sect’s Sinking Sword Lake was also opened. Qing Jianzi gained an upper-judgment sword within the Sinking Sword Lake. He truly had good

fortune abound.

The most important point was that Qing Jianzi had an excellent reputation in the Purple Mist Sect. There wasn’t a single person who did not respect him when his name came up.

“Fang, now that you have made a connection with Brother Qing Jianzi, there is nothing for you to worry about in the Martial Sect.” Meng Chaoyang said with a sigh.

Fang Lin didn’t pay much attention to all this. He frowned and asked, “So among the younger generation in the Purple Mist Sect, Qing Jianzi is the most powerful?”

Hearing Fang Lin’s question, Meng Chaoyang and the others hesitated for a

moment. It was finally Ouyang Jing who had the courage to say, “That’s actually not the case. Supposedly, Miss Han Xiaoxing has fought with Qing Jianzi three times, but each time, Qing Jianzi lost.”

“What?” Fang Lin was shocked. Qing Jianzi, who was so powerful, had actually lost to Han Xiaoxing three times..
