He is different from Yang Zhe.

In reality, Chu Fan had no desire for fame or fortune. He only wanted to practice his swordsmanship diligently, avenge his father, and then practice his swordsmanship properly.

However, after Yang Zhe recited that poem on stage, Chu Fan became somewhat interested in poetry. Because both Yang Zhe and he were at the peak of the ninth rank, when Yang Zhe stood on the stage and recited the poem with a clear and resonant voice, Chu Fan could even feel a trace of sword intent.

He was actually very close to the threshold of the Grandmaster realm. After hearing Yang Zhe's poem, Chu Fan clearly felt that he was one step closer to becoming a Grandmaster.

My master said that the world is full of swords, and it is indeed true. Even the killing intent and sharpness in poetry contain the essence of swordsmanship.

After no longer confining the "sword" to a mere piece of iron, Chu Fan felt his mind become much clearer. Even without cultivation, his internal energy had become more refined and increased.

The way of martial arts is to cultivate the body for the lesser practitioners and to train the mind for the more advanced practitioners.

However, when Chu Xiaoxiao stood up to recite the poem, Chu Fan's originally good mood was completely ruined.

No one would deliberately stare at the air between He Yunxiao and Chu Xiaoxiao, but Chu Fan would.

Chu Fan had previously witnessed He Yunxiao transmitting his voice to Chu Xiaoxiao once, and now, the same scene was repeating itself.

What Chu Fan didn't expect was that Chu Xiaoxiao would actually utter such words.

"Flowers fall and water flows, one longing, two places of sorrow. This feeling cannot be dispelled, just as it leaves the brow, it rises to the heart."

Even if Chu Fan didn't understand poetry, how could he not understand the meaning behind such straightforward words?

Chu Fan knew that Chu Xiaoxiao had a smattering of knowledge about poetry, but that was all. If someone said that Chu Xiaoxiao could write such verses, Chu Fan would be the first to disbelieve it.

Combined with He Yunxiao's internal energy transmission before Chu Xiaoxiao spoke, Chu Fan immediately understood the whole situation.

This straightforward poem of longing was clearly written by He Yunxiao for Xiaoxiao!

Then, when He Yunxiao displayed his poetic talent of "flowers blooming like fire," Chu Fan's heart sank.

Brother He's poetic talent is unparalleled; that poem of longing was indeed written by him for Xiaoxiao.

After that, Chu Xiaoxiao and He Yunxiao frequently communicated telepathically because of Yang Zhe's matter, which Chu Fan noticed.

Because of the distance, Chu Fan couldn't hear what his sister and He Yunxiao were saying at all, but that didn't affect his judgment.

I know my own sister well.

Chu Xiaoxiao's personality is a typical "warm on the outside, cold on the inside" type. She seems to be polite to everyone, but she doesn't care about anyone.

When he first joined the sect, his master said that Chu Xiaoxiao seemed diligent, but she didn't care about her martial arts achievements. Even though she had good talent, she often stopped short of mastering it. So now, he had reached the peak of the ninth rank, while Xiaoxiao was not even at the sixth rank.

However, Xiao Xiao, who seems so indifferent to everything, is chatting animatedly with He Yunxiao, which might be...

Chu Fan felt that he needed to find time to have a serious talk with his sister.
