Lin Yuheng’s expression stiffened slightly.
What?
Could it be that Vice Pavilion Master Gu also wants to recruit Jiang Fan?
The news of Jiang Fan exterminating the entire Giant Sect was brought back by Ye Cangyuan.
He reported it to the Pavilion Master.
The Pavilion Master felt the matter was of great importance and did not make it public.
Instead, he summoned Lin Yuheng, who had multiple interactions with Jiang Fan, to inquire about his character in detail.
So far, the only people who know about Jiang Fan’s feat of destroying the Giant Sect are:
The Pavilion Master, Ye Cangyuan, and her.
What did Gu Huaxi mean when she said whether she could handle Jiang Fan?
Could the news have quietly spread?
Her gaze flickered, and she said, “Vice Pavilion Master Gu misunderstood.”
“I just feel a connection with him, that’s all.”
Gu Huaxi snorted.
She said no more.
You Yunzi glanced at Gu Huaxi sideways and secretly transmitted a message: “Old hag, what are you doing?”
“Afraid that others won’t know you’ve taken a fancy to Jiang Fan?”
He was utterly speechless.
Initially, most people’s attention had been drawn to the prodigies from Taicang State.
But Gu Huaxi apparently had other plans.
Anyone slightly perceptive could tell Gu Huaxi had her eyes on Jiang Fan.
This would inevitably make others look at Jiang Fan differently.
Gu Huaxi also noticed something amiss and tried to cover it up:
“I just dislike some unscrupulous behavior, that’s all.”
“I hope everyone would compete for disciples openly and fairly.”
“There’s no need for devious methods.”
She refrained from looking at Jiang Fan again.
Doing her best to make Jiang Fan seem less notable.
Seeing that the disciples, vice pavilion masters, and stewards were all present, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master spoke:
“Alright, let’s first assess everyone’s cultivation and then introduce your background.”
“After that, you may all compete freely for disciples.”
“The Nine-Sect representatives will go first.”
Liu Qingxian had been in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion for some time.
She naturally stepped forward and released her Spiritual Power: “Liu Qingxian of the Green Cloud Sect, Fifth Level of Core Formation.”
Jiang Fan was slightly surprised.
Not bad. After the Boundary Mountain battle, she was only at the Third Level of Core Formation.
In less than two months, she had broken through two levels.
It seemed the care from Gu Huaxi and You Yunzi was more than just superficial.
Xu Youran and Chen Silin released their cultivation levels shyly.
“Xu Youran of the Green Cloud Sect, Second Level of Core Formation.”
“Chen Silin of the Green Cloud Sect, Second Level of Core Formation.”
Compared to others, the two women’s cultivation was relatively weak.
Many stewards wore puzzled expressions.
They couldn’t understand how these two had managed to join the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.
Next was Jiang Fan; he cupped his hands and said, “I’m also from the Green Cloud Sect.”
“Sixth Level of Core Formation.”
He displayed his cultivation level.
Liang Feiyan was shocked: “Ah? You’ve already jumped to the Sixth Level of Core Formation?”
Before Jiang Fan was captured, he had only reached the Third Level of Core Formation.
Despite being held captive by demons, his cultivation not only remained unaffected but advanced rapidly.
