Qin Feng looked at the old man, the Carefree True Monarch, and said earnestly:
"Are you hiding something from me, old man? I can't interfere in the affairs of your Heavenly Sword Sect, but I have to take care of Little Stone's affairs."
A fleeting look of panic crossed Old Zhang's face as he shook his head and waved his hands, saying:
"Nothing of the sort. With me here, what could possibly happen?"
Qin Feng scrutinized him carefully, then frowned.
"What happened to your injuries? These are recent injuries."
Old Zhang's expression froze, a bitter look appearing on his face, and he had no choice but to accept it.
"Hey, you're really hard to fool. Fine, I'll tell you then, but don't do anything reckless."
Qin Feng's expression hardened, and he finally agreed to speak.
The carefree True Monarch spoke slowly and deliberately, “As you know, every force has its internal conflicts, and our Heavenly Sword Sect is no exception. Healthy competition will promote progress.”
Qin Feng did not answer, but listened quietly.
Old Zhang looked at Qin Feng and asked, "How much do you know about our Heavenly Sword Sect?"
Qin Feng spoke frankly, "I don't know much about them, I only know that they are a first-rate force, and they are very powerful in Yizhou."
Old Zhang looked rather smug and a little proud upon hearing this.
He nodded slightly and continued:
"That's right, that's roughly how it is, but the competition within the Heavenly Sword Sect is very fierce."
The Heavenly Sword Sect has seven peaks: Blazing Sun Peak, Constant Sun Peak, Cloud Sun Peak, Mysterious Moon Peak, Cold Moon Peak, Heavenly Star Peak, and Soaring Sky Peak, each of which independently trains its own disciples.
Disciples are frequently assessed in various aspects to select the most outstanding ones, who will then receive full support and resources from the sect.
That's where the problem lies.
"Oh?" Qin Feng knew that this was the key point.
"Yun Kai has a pure heart. He is not interested in these disputes and has no intention of competing with others."
However, whether or not he fights is not up to him.
He focused on cultivation and lived his life peacefully, but his talent was simply too extraordinary. He was already in the late stage of Foundation Establishment and was about to reach perfection.
As you know, he has only been cultivating for a little over two years. Most people would be lucky to reach the Qi Refining Perfection stage.
He was like the brightest star in the night sky, attracting attention and noticed by many.
Qin Feng expressed his confusion, "Little Stone has good talent and his cultivation is progressing quickly. Shouldn't you be happy? Why do you sound so sighing?"
Old Zhang was also deeply moved.
“Everything has two sides. It’s good that he performs well and receives attention from the sect, which will provide him with more and better resources. But it will also make others jealous and target him.”
When Xiaoyao Zhenjun got to this point, Qin Feng understood Xiaoshitou's predicament.
"Aren't you going to do anything about it?"
Old Zhang shook his head, somewhat helplessly saying:
"It's difficult for elders to manage competition among peers. Such competition is allowed and encouraged, as long as it doesn't lead to death or disability."
Qin Feng also looked troubled; it seemed he couldn't very well intervene in this situation.
The Carefree True Monarch recalled the scene of Qin Feng destroying the Blade Overlord Sect and felt somewhat apprehensive, so he specifically reminded him.
"Kid, don't do anything reckless. This is his own business. Once you embark on the path of cultivation, you should face it bravely."
Qin Feng nodded, and after understanding what was going on, he wasn't in such a hurry anymore.
Old Zhang is right. Embarking on the path of cultivation will always involve various difficulties and trials. Let Little Stone deal with them on his own for now.
Once he saw him making plans, Qin Feng really wanted to help.
However, Qin Feng then stared at Old Man Zhang and asked:
"Hey Lao Zhang, you still haven't told me how you got injured. Talking nicely can't hide the harsh truth. Don't tell me your injuries have nothing to do with Xiao Shitou!"
Old Zhang curled his lip and said, "I said, how come you're so smart, you can guess everything? Okay, I'll tell you everything, but I'm warning you, don't do anything reckless."
"Sure, sure, tell me about it first."
"It's a long story, but I'll tell you if you're willing to listen."
As you know, I received a favor from the Lin family. At that time, I accepted a mission from the sect to hunt down someone with a high bounty. Although I succeeded, I was seriously injured. Later, with the help of the Lin family, I recovered.
Upon returning to the sect, he performed a great service and received rewards from the sect, thus advancing to the Nascent Soul stage. However, this also created new conflicts with Lieyang Peak.
"Oh, why is that?"
"The sect's resources are limited, and it's impossible to take care of every disciple. That's why there are missions, points, and rewards. If it weren't for my unexpected appearance, this spot would have originally belonged to a disciple named Zhao Mingzhen from Lieyang Peak, but I snatched it first."
"You continue."
"It wasn't my fault, but he believed that I had stolen the opportunity that should have been his, and he harbored resentment towards me."
Zhao Mingzhen had other good fortune; he later successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage and is now an elder of Lieyang Peak. He has also taken on a disciple named Ding Junhua.
Qin Feng frowned, realizing that this matter involved Old Zhang's old grudges.
"Yun Kai's matter is a conflict between disciples, which I am too lazy to care about and have no face to care about. It's just that Ding Junhua sometimes goes too far. I can't stand it, so I challenged his master to a duel. I just didn't expect to be careless and get injured."
Qin Feng's expression was cold. "Oh, how exactly is it excessive?"
The Carefree True Monarch sensed the coldness in Qin Feng's words and quickly offered words of comfort:
"Kid, don't be impulsive. It hasn't come to that yet. His disciple, Ding Junhua, really wants to spar with Yun Kai and have a big fight. But no matter how many tricks he uses, Yun Kai simply ignores him."
That brat started harassing Ru Xue. Such a shameless person! Of course I couldn't stand it; she's my disciple.
