The news of Jiang Fengyu's advancement to Grandmaster spread quickly, putting the Guiyi Sect in an awkward position, with many people laughing at them behind their backs.
If Jiang Fengyu were still in Guiyi Sect, no one would question Guiyi Sect's status as the number one sect in the martial arts world.
Since the news of Jiang Fengyu's advancement to Grandmaster spread, the entire Guiyi Sect has been in a tense atmosphere. Seeing their sect leader's unpredictable moods, the disciples dared not utter a sound.
Some disciples who were originally at the inn couldn't help but regret it. If they had known, they would have stayed at the inn like Junior Brother Jiang. Maybe they would have been the next ones to advance to Grandmaster.
So what if I'm expelled from the sect by the sect leader? Compared to becoming a Grandmaster, what does that matter?
Sect Leader Zhou Tianyi had lost count of how many things he had smashed in the room; Jiang Fengyu was slapping him in the face.
Zhou Tianyi stared in the direction of the inn, his eyes filled with a mixture of conflict and anger. He had been stuck at the first-rate martial artist level for years, and even a hothead like Jiang Fengyu had managed to advance. Didn't he have an even better chance?
But the people at the inn have wronged Xinyi. What if Xinyi gets angry if I go? I heard that she has become the future concubine of the Prince of Kang and is returning to her hometown to pay respects to Jie'er. I can't let her get angry at this crucial time.
Zhou Tianyi sat in a chair, slammed his fist on the table, and sighed.
Hearing the sounds of fighting coming from the main courtyard, Madam Wan, the leader of the Guiyi Sect, sneered in anger. Whether it was Yan Ping or her own husband, they all seemed possessed whenever Shi Jie was involved.
She even doted on Shi Jie's daughter, whose father was unknown. If it hadn't been for the later revelation that Shi Xinyi was the daughter of Prince An, she would have thought she was her husband's illegitimate child.
Because of Shi Xinyi, I've argued with my husband countless times. When Shi Xinyi learned about my true identity and turned away without hesitation, I wonder if my husband felt even a trace of regret?
Now, Jiang Fengyu, who entered the first-class martial arts realm later than him, has advanced to the grandmaster level, while Zhou Tianyi is still afraid to go because he is afraid of angering Shi Xinyi. It's utterly ridiculous.
"Does the master have any plans?"
The servant glanced cautiously at the madam. "Master said to clean up Miss Xinyi's courtyard."
Madam Zhou laughed even harder, but her laughter was filled with more helplessness and pain. "Let him be. I want to see if Shi Xinyi will appreciate it or not."
Others might not notice, but she certainly did. Shi Xinyi was just like her mother; she enjoyed being surrounded by men, but her heart was cold. If it didn't benefit her, she would leave without a second thought.
Now that Shi Xinyi is perfectly suited to be her future concubine, why would she want to have too many entanglements with people in the martial arts world?
Thinking of Zhou Tianyi's disappointed look in the future, Madam Zhou felt a surge of pleasure. After so many years, their marital bond had long since dissipated; now, she only wanted to protect her son. Her husband, on the other hand, could go as far away as possible.
Zhou Tianyi was completely unaware of An Ge's inner turmoil; as she watched more and more people from the martial arts world gather, she was overjoyed.
It's good to have many people. There are still quite a few vacant rooms in the guesthouse. It would be better if it were fully booked.
"By the way, tell Lu Yan to keep a close eye on things these days. Although there are rules at the inn, those martial arts practitioners aren't so obedient." An Ge made these arrangements with some concern, remembering the martial arts practitioners who had been thrown out of the inn back then.
"I think Lu Yan prefers trouble to peace and quiet. Haven't you seen him all smiles lately?"
An Ge thought about it and realized it was true. She also knew a little about the demon race. Demons loved to fight and be fierce. Although Lu Yan only had half a demon bloodline, he wasn't exactly peaceful by nature.
"We can't let him cause trouble for no reason." An Ge had a headache. Ever since she recruited him, the inn had been peaceful, and Lu Yan hadn't had a chance to use his skills. She had almost forgotten how unruly this guy was.
"Lu Yan is still sensible. There won't be any major conflicts, but some minor skirmishes are fine." Perhaps the inn has been too peaceful for too long, and the newcomers have lost some respect for it. It wouldn't hurt for Lu Yan to take action and intimidate them.
As the two were talking, they heard a commotion outside. An Yue rushed out of the office, "Manager, Manager Lu is fighting with someone."
Just what I feared most has come to pass. An Ge sighed. She hadn't heard any system notifications, so it seemed the two hadn't fought in the inn.
"Let's go take a look." An Ge pulled Hu Jiu and walked outside. Although she felt that Lu Yan liked to cause trouble, she didn't want to pin the blame on Lu Yan before the truth of the matter was found out.
As it turned out, An Ge hadn't wronged Lu Yan at all. She breathed a sigh of relief after learning what had happened. An Yue's choice of words was so inaccurate; this wasn't a fight at all, but a friendly sparring match.
Since Jiang Fengyu advanced to the Grandmaster level, his internal power has become somewhat unstable. He discovered that the arena's trial grounds could help stabilize his foundation, so he devoted himself to the arena even more diligently every day.
Compared to the Trial Grounds, two-on-one combat is undoubtedly more effective. But with his current strength, even the Western Region Mad Blade wouldn't last ten moves against him, so there's no need for a fight at all.
Lu Yan paid special attention to this newly promoted grandmaster. Upon hearing about the matter, he took the initiative to challenge him to a duel, which led to today's exchange.
"But why don't they go to the arena?" An Ge watched the two fighting in the air with trepidation, not because she was afraid the two would get hurt, but because she was afraid they would damage the flowers and plants.
This was a place she had painstakingly planned, and if it were involved, she would never let them off the hook.
Upon hearing An Ge's question, someone's gaze lingered on the two people at the intersection, yet they still answered An Ge's question, "Manager Lu and Master Jiang originally intended to fight in the arena, but they declined at our request. We hope the store manager won't take offense."
With everyone chiming in, An Ge quickly learned the truth.
It turns out they also wanted to know how powerful a grandmaster was, which is why they wanted to observe.
An Ge twitched her lips speechlessly. Knowing Lu Yan as she did, this was probably exactly what he wanted. This guy had always liked to show off.
Lu Yan knew that if the inn was affected, An Ge would not give him a good time, so he thoughtfully set up an array before the sparring match.
An Ge was too nervous at first, which is why she didn't notice the existence of the formation. After calming down, she breathed a sigh of relief and began to observe it with great interest.
The battle between grandmasters was indeed different. In An Ge's eyes, the spiritual power on the two of them surged continuously, and their momentum was overwhelming. If it weren't for the support of the formation, the nearby mountains might have been shaved off by tens of centimeters.
The two attacked very quickly, almost becoming two afterimages. Fortunately, she had advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, otherwise she might not have been able to see their moves.
Seeing the crowd watching with great interest, she couldn't help but wonder if these people, who were mostly ordinary people, could really understand it.
