247: Different Treatment
“Sect Master Gong? Sect Master Gong?”
Fu Chaohun called out twice to remind her.
Gong Caiyi finally snapped out of her daze, staring at Jiang Fan, she asked, “What did you just say?”
Fu Chaohun frowned.
He felt somewhat overlooked.
Why did Gong Caiyi care so much about that disciple?
He suppressed his displeasure, returned to smiling, and said, “Reporting to Sect Master.”
“Junior has successfully comprehended the first page of ‘Spirit Control Technique.’”
He thought Gong Caiyi would be very pleased.
But her reaction was so indifferent that it left Fu Chaohun at a loss.
“Hmm, understood.”
Gong Caiyi replied perfunctorily.
Watching Jiang Fan leave without looking back, she grew even angrier!
How was she treating him unfairly?
How could he be so heartless?
Seeing Jiang Fan was about to leave the hall without a trace of hesitation, she panicked.
She shouted, “Who permitted you to leave?”
“Come back here!”
Jiang Fan, helpless, had to brace himself and return.
Standing in front of the desk, he clasped his hands and said, “Sect Master Gong, what other instructions do you have?”
Previously, he addressed her as Sect Master.
Now he called her Sect Master Gong.
This business-like tone made Gong Caiyi even more uncomfortable.
She decided to reprimand Jiang Fan.
Pointing to Fu Chaohun beside her, she said, “This is Fu Chaohun, the Chief Disciple of the Heavenly Sound Sect!”
“A prodigy of immense talent, with exceptional comprehension, a peerless genius unseen in a hundred years at the Heavenly Sound Sect!”
Listening to these top-tier titles, Jiang Fan looked at him with respect and clasped his hands, saying, “Jiang Fan of the Green Cloud Sect, greets Senior Brother Fu.”
Fu Chaohun couldn’t figure out Jiang Fan’s approach and returned the greeting with a smile, “Fu Chaohun of the Heavenly Sound Sect, a pleasure to meet you.”
Gong Caiyi explained, “Fu Chaohun traveled a long way to my Spirit Beast Sect to help me comprehend the ‘Spirit Control Technique.’”
“If he performs satisfactorily, I will agree to his request and keep him by my side.”
It seemed like a casual explanation for his presence here.
In reality, it was telling Jiang Fan that others traveled great distances, begging to stay by her side.
She still needed to test him before considering it.
While you, Jiang Fan, were offered the title of Young Sect Leader, yet you kept refusing!
Jiang Fan understood the underlying message.
He felt exasperated yet amused.
Following her lead, he said, “Sect Master Gong is surrounded by talents, I am humbled by my inferiority.”
“Such an opportunity, leaving it to Senior Brother Fu would indeed meet everyone’s expectations.”
“I sincerely offer my congratulations.”
Bam—
It was better left unsaid.
These words infuriated Gong Caiyi!
She slapped the desk, stood up immediately, her almond-shaped eyes wide open, “Jiang Fan!”
“Are you deliberately antagonizing me?”
Clearly telling Jiang Fan that she wasn’t so kind to just anyone.
He should cherish it properly.
Yet here he was, provoking her like this.
It made her so angry her chest ached.
“I wouldn’t dare, those were my heartfelt words.” Jiang Fan stepped back a few paces to maintain a safe distance.
