Starting As A Clan Leader: My Rules Are A Bit Wild

Chapter 66: I'm not a child, you're protecting me

Duan Qingyao was speechless and shocked.

But these elders were different from ordinary disciples. They knew the true rules of the Embracing Moon Sect.

Because of this, although she was speechless, she could somewhat guess that there must be some hidden reason behind it. As for what exactly the hidden reason was, they didn't know.

They could only speculate that this kid was really afraid of death!

But just because they knew, it didn't mean that everyone else knew.

Like the seven mascots, they were completely unaware, and because of this, they couldn't understand at all!

Qiu Yongqin couldn't help but take a step forward and said, "Senior Brother Fan, you are a direct disciple. Although I entered the sect later, I should still address you as Senior Brother."

"According to reason, my status is lower than yours, and I have no right to speak in such occasions. But I can't bear to watch anymore, and there is something I must say!"

At first, he spoke hesitantly.

Very nervous.

But as he spoke, he became more fluent.

Fan Jianqiang looked at him with curiosity and said, "You can speak."

"Senior Brother!"

Qiu Yongqin took a deep breath. "As a direct disciple, you should strive to improve your strength and promote the glory of the sect!"

"It has been over two months since you entered the sect, but from what I have observed, you have been idle and made no progress in cultivation. While we were all at the initial stage of Condensing Essence when we entered, I have already reached the second layer of Condensing Essence through hard work day and night. But you are still at the first layer, and your cultivation level is even unstable. I really can't imagine what you have been doing during this time."

"The heavens are heartless, treating all living beings as mere straw dogs!"

"Cultivation is going against the natural order. If you don't advance, you will regress. As a direct disciple, you have neglected your cultivation. It's really..."

"Ah!"

"If it were just that, it would be fine. But with such an opportunity, we all want to go but can't. The Sect Master called for you, but you kept making excuses. Why are you so timid? How can cultivators like us lack the courage to face danger?"

He sighed deeply. "Master, I have offended you."

The other six mascots looked at each other, feeling a bit embarrassed but also admiring Qiu Yongqin's courage.

In fact, they were somewhat dissatisfied with Fan Jianqiang as well.

In their eyes, he was just idling around all day, wandering around like a stray chicken.

They even felt that he had left his footprints on every inch of land on the twenty-five spiritual mountains of the Embracing Moon Sect.

There was nothing wrong with that.

But as a direct disciple, he received much better treatment than them, yet his cultivation speed was slower than theirs???

Given such an opportunity, you still cling to life and fear death!

Who can respect you for that?

Faced with Qiu Yongqin's questioning, Lin Fan felt somewhat helpless.

He couldn't directly reveal the secret of the "Gou Dao," could he?

However, he believed that Fan Jianqiang could handle it himself.

He said softly, "As a fellow disciple, you shouldn't rely on your master to solve your doubts, right?"

Fan Jianqiang shrugged helplessly. "Master, I don't care about these things at all."

"What does it matter if others look down on me?"

"As long as you don't drive me away from the sect, I will always be a member of the Embracing Moon Sect."

He was trying to shift the blame back to Lin Fan?!

Lin Fan's forehead throbbed.

Qiu Yongqin couldn't bear it any longer. "Senior Brother Fan, by doing this, aren't you putting the Sect Master in a difficult position?!"

"If everyone is as cowardly as you, how can the sect develop?"

"If the sect encounters a crisis, who will handle it if everyone is like you?"

"And if we encounter an unstoppable danger, I'm afraid you... won't fight to the death, but will hide or even flee at the first opportunity, right?!"

Fan Jianqiang didn't care and said, "Hehe, you're right. If there is truly an unstoppable danger, not only will I escape, but I will also suggest that everyone escape separately."

"Since it is already an unstoppable danger, if we don't escape quickly, should we all stay and be buried, sacrificing the entire sect?!"

"If the green mountains remain, there will be no worry about firewood. Even if only one or two people escape, as long as they have the determination, they can carefully plan and find opportunities to rebuild the sect or secretly develop... Which choice is not better than being buried with the sect?"

"Don't even mention others, just take our Embracing Moon Sect as an example. If everyone were to do as you say, stubbornly refusing to retreat and fighting to the death, would Embracing Moon Sect still exist today?"

"Could you still become a disciple of Embracing Moon Sect?"

At this point, he sneered, "What I despise the most are those self-righteous fools who think they are loyal and passionate, even moving themselves."

"Unfortunately, the only ones moved are themselves."

"In the eyes of others, it's just a joke."

These words left Qiu Yongqin speechless.

The others looked at each other, feeling that their perspectives had been completely refreshed.

But you know what, you really know what!

This guy's words clearly show his fear of death, but they do make some sense.

At least it's not nonsense!

Seeing Qiu Yongqin remain silent, his face turning red and even his Dao heart on the verge of collapse, Fan Jianqiang suddenly burst into laughter, "Ah, you all must be laughing at me."

"I am indeed afraid of death, and what I just said was just nonsense. Please don't take it to heart."

"Junior Brother Qiu, how about I call you Senior Brother from now on?"

"I am not talented, and my cultivation progress is extremely slow. If there are any dangers in the future, I hope Senior Brother will protect me."

This sudden change in attitude, along with these shameless words, left everyone speechless once again.

For a while, they didn't know what to say.

But Lin Fan had already anticipated this.

This guy...

Can you expect him to be serious?

Do you still want to awaken his passion?

What a joke!

"Since there's nothing else to say."

"Then let's settle it like this."

Lin Fan smiled and stared at Fan Jianqiang, "You're coming with us."

"Don't worry, I'll be there."

Fan Jianqiang: "Huh?!"

...

Qiu Yongqin hung his head in dejection, and the seven mascots also felt a bit heavy-hearted. On their way back to the inner sect, they "ran into" Xiao Ling'er.

Seeing them like this, Xiao Ling'er couldn't help but approach them, "Don't think too much."

"Fan Junior Brother..."

"It's not what you think. It's just that he is a bit special."

Xiao Ling'er also knew the situation, at least half of it.

And she was sure that Fan Jianqiang was definitely not as simple as he appeared on the surface, but she didn't know the specific details, so she could only comfort them like this.

"And his words, actually, are for your own good."

"Passion and loyalty are certainly important, but sometimes, flexibility is also necessary."

"Being flexible will undoubtedly make things easier and... safer!"

...

After saying that, Xiao Ling'er left.

Most of these words were warnings from Liang Danxia to her, but she passed them on to her fellow disciples without missing a word.

"Master."

"What is the gift you mentioned?"

"Hehe."

Liang Danxia smiled, "Strange Fire."

"Strange Fire?!"

Xiao Ling'er was shocked, "You?!"
