Chapter 152: Cleaning the Scripture Pavilion

"Big brother… are you alright?"

After Xiao Fan stepped off the Arena, he walked over to the chubby Zhu Gang and the others.

Zhu Gang's Face was full of worry, and the others beside him were the same.

"Big Brother Xiao Fan, thank you… thank you."

The woman beside Zhu Gang, Hai Jiao, thanked Xiao Fan with a sob in her voice.

"Big Brother Xiao, thank you for this time…"

"Big Brother Xiao, thank you."

"…"

The others nearby also hurriedly expressed their thanks. The four Outer Sect Disciples were heavily injured, but they could now barely stand up and respectfully cupped their fists toward Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan looked at them and smiled. "It's nothing, don't worry about it."

After saying a few words to them, Xiao Fan left.

However, the entire Arena area only truly became lively at this moment.

A large group of people rushed over one after another.

They had all heard that Xiao Fan, a Disciple from this year's new intake, was fighting Deacon Sun in the Arena area, and they had all come for this.

But when they arrived at the scene, there was no sign of Xiao Fan…

As for Deacon Sun, because it was too embarrassing, he had fled long ago…

However, as word of this spread, naturally many people did not believe it.

Xiao Fan was just a newly entered Disciple with a cultivation at the eighth level of the Huaqi Realm…

How could he have defeated a Deacon at the second level of the Tongtian Realm?

However, a small portion of them, after hearing that this matter involved Xiao Fan, remained silent and offered no comment.

In fact, many people in the Sect had been discussing the appearance of the blue light in mid-air over the past few days.

But in the end, the Sect issued an explanation, covering it up as a phenomenon caused by Elder Jiang Yushan personally performing Alchemy during a lecture.

No one doubted this reason, neither the Outer Sect Disciples nor even the Inner Sect Disciples.

After all, it wasn't surprising at all for some kind of phenomenon or disturbance to occur during Alchemy.

Xiao Fan didn't return to his Immortal Cave but went straight to the Scripture Pavilion.

After all, for his nominal punishment, he still had to go through the motions…

What kind of cleaning could there be to do in the Scripture Pavilion?

When Xiao Fan reached the entrance of the Scripture Pavilion, he saw two old men playing chess at the door just like before, with a pot of tea sitting beside them.

The two old men didn't look back; to an outsider, they still seemed focused on their game.

Xiao Fan walked respectfully to the two men, then bowed with cupped fists. "Disciple Xiao Fan greets Elder He and Elder An."

He respected these two old men from the bottom of his heart.

The first time he came to the Scripture Pavilion, the two of them had kindly warned him and even allowed him to choose a Cultivation Technique again.

Back then, he hadn't yet awakened the Enlightenment Seed. He remembered the kindness they showed him when he was still insignificant.

"Hehe… not bad. That old fellow Sect Master Xu Yongnian was just here," Old He said with a smile.

Beside him, Old An turned back to look Xiao Fan over, somewhat surprised. "You really have reached the eighth level of Huaqi… Tsk tsk… Impressive, to actually defeat someone at the second level of the Tongtian Realm…"

Although these two hadn't gone there, they had learned about the matter from Sect Master Xu Yongnian's mouth.

"It was just luck."

Xiao Fan cupped his fists, very humble.

"Whether it was luck or not, it proves your potential, and…"

Old He turned his head and gave him a deep look. "The move you used… was it Stars Shifting?"

Xiao Fan paused, then nodded and admitted it.

What he used was indeed Shadow Shifting from Stars Shifting.

Unfortunately, no one in the Jixian Sect had mastered this Cultivation Technique for many years, so naturally, no one remembered the name of the move.

"Not bad… this Enlightenment Seed… is truly powerful."

Old He sighed with some emotion, and Old An opposite him was the same.

Having been in the Scripture Pavilion for so long, this was the first time they had seen someone actually master Stars Shifting.

They didn't ask further. In their impression, this Cultivation Technique was incomplete, and there might not be a complete version left in the Nine Provinces…

As for Xiao Fan being able to master it, they entirely attributed it to the Enlightenment Seed.

After all, one of the functions of the Enlightenment Seed was to allow a person to have an Epiphany.

In fact, they had no idea that before obtaining the Enlightenment Seed, Xiao Fan had already practiced Stars Shifting to the level of Minor Achievement.

Xiao Fan didn't answer; it was best to remain silent on this matter.

"That fellow Xu Yongnian said he's punishing you by making you clean the Scripture Pavilion…"

Old An said with a smile, "Since that's the case, we two old fellows can't very well not enforce it."

"Cleaning the Scripture Pavilion is different from other places. It starts every night at the Hour of the Rat. You can only go in to clean after the Scripture Pavilion is closed. Come back at the Hour of the Rat tonight."

Xiao Fan nodded, cupped his fists to the two of them again, and then left the Scripture Pavilion.

Come every night at the Hour of the Rat?

Does he really have to clean…

At this moment, Xiao Fan felt a bit speechless. He had originally thought Sect Master Xu Yongnian was just saying it, but looking at this situation, it seemed he really had to clean…

After Xiao Fan left.

Old He and Old An both put down their chess pieces.

In fact, when Xiao Fan came over, they had stopped playing and were secretly observing him behind their backs.

But for the sake of Face… both of them pretended to look indifferent.

"Holy crap, did you see that, Old He? This little fellow really is at the eighth level of the Huaqi Realm…"

"I saw it. And Xu Yongnian said he actually defeated that Little Sun fellow—that's the second level of the Tongtian Realm."

"That Little Sun in the Arena area, I've disliked him for a long time. Good fight…"

"However, now that this kid is coming to the Scripture Pavilion, Xu Yongnian said we should give him some benefits…"

"How should we give them?"

Xiao Fan was, of course, completely unaware of their conversation.

He returned to his Immortal Cave and went directly into the star chart to perform Alchemy…

He planned to go to the Scripture Pavilion at night.

To clean!
