Double Cultivation
The Blue Cloud Sect
Several days had passed since Fang Xiaoru became a disciple of the Profound Flower Sect. Meanwhile, in the Blue Cloud Sect, the Fang Family had just arrived at their front door.
"We've been waiting for you, Matriarch Fang." Gu Guanting greeted him at the entrance with a bright expression on his face, as he had been waiting for this day ever since he learned that the genius of the Fang Family, Fang Xiaoru, would join their Sect.
However, when he saw the unpleasant expression on Fang Xianjue's face, he asked in a worried voice, "Is there something wrong, Matriarch Fang?"
"Hopefully not." she replied a while later, and she continued, "Anyway, my daughter, Fang Xiaoru, will be arriving late by a few days.I apologize for any inconvenience that might be inflicted on your Sect."
"There is no need to apologize for such a small matter. In fact, we cannot be grateful enough to the Fang Family for trusting the Blue Cloud Sect enough to let us train Fang Xiaoru, one of the top geniuses in this world." Gu Guanting said with a smile.
Although he said that the Blue Cloud Sect would train Fang Xiaoru, in reality, it was Hong Yu'er who would train him, after all, because there was no way an ordinary Sect like the Blue Cloud Sect could train a genius like Fang Xiaoru.
Although they might have completed the Regional Tournament in the 2nd position and had even been awarded the Elite title by the Xie Family, the Blue Cloud Sect was only valuable because of Hong Yu'er, who was the only one in the world, that had become the backbone and face of the entire Sect.
Without Hong Yu'er, the Blue Cloud Sect was just an above average Sect, but they were obviously nothing compared to the actual Elite Sect.
Some time later, Gu Guanting brought the Fang Family into the Sect and arranged the best residence he had for them.
Afterwards, the Fang Family sealed themselves inside their residence for the next few days – until the 1 week deadline that Fang Xianjue had given Fang Xiaoru was exhausted.
"That ungrateful boy!" Fang Xianjue angrily stomped on the floor, his face filled with anger. "After everything we did for her and all the resources we gave her, she dares to leave the family for the Profound Flower Sect ?! Does that little boy have no heart ?!"
"What should we do, Matriak? Are we really going to fight with the Profound Flower Sect?" One of the elders asked him.
"Are you stupid ?!" he suddenly roared at the Elder who had just spoken, and he continued, "Have you forgotten who is in the Profound Flower Sect ?! Xie Wang, Ancestor of the Xie Family!"
"Even though he said that he doesn't care about our family disputes, what kind of fool would believe such a glaring lie?"
"Even if he doesn't interfere in our drama, the reputation and trust our Fang Family has built up over the decades will be lost the moment we attack them, because the Xie Family will definitely side with the Profound Flower Sect!"
"Then is there really nothing we can do to get Fang Xiaoru back to us?" The Elder asked.
Fang Xianjue sighed and spoke, "Now that the Xie Family is aware of our presence, it is almost impossible to deal with them secretly. It's a pity, but we have to give up for now. However, I will speak to the Patriarch first."
After waiting a few more days just in case Fang Xiaoru decided to appear but to no avail, Fang Xianjue decided to reveal the situation to Gu Gu Guanting.
"i want to apologize deeply to the Blue Cloud Sect and the Sect Leader, for it seems that my foolish son has decided to join the Profound Flower Sect as a final decision. If there's anything I can do to make up for the trouble, the Fang Family won't waste any effort."
"Fang Xiaoru joined the Profound Flower Sect…?" Gu Guanting looked at him with a gawking expression, as if he could not believe his ears.
"Hahaha.it's pretty funny now." Tang Lingxi suddenly appeared while laughing.
"Hong Yu'er!" Fang Xianjue looked at him with wide eyes, as he could not understand why he was laughing.
"i wasn't expecting this situation, but I can't say that I was surprised," Tang Lingxi said with a smile on her face. "Well, at least I don't need to train him now. I must thank Su Yang for letting it go of my hands when I met him again."
"W-How do you know that he's behind this? I didn't even mention his name .." Fang Xianjue asked him with a puzzled expression, as he only mentioned about Fang Xiaoru joining the Profound Flower Sect.
Tang Lingxi smiled and spoke, "Let's just say this isn't the first time it's happened."
"N-not the first time…?" Both Fang Xianjue and Gu Guanting looked at him with dumbfounded expressions on their faces.
"After all, you don't need to worry too much about Fang Xiaoru joining the Profound Flower Sect. In fact, I said that he had made the right choice by going there instead." Tang Lingxi said, and she continued, "He will learn more there with Su Yang than in this place with me, because he has more experience in teaching others than I do."
Hearing Tang Lingxi praise Su Yang, Fang Xianjue did not know how to react and remained standing there with a dazed face. Could it be true? That Fang Xiaoru would receive more in the Profound Flower Sect than in the Blue Cloud Sect?
As for Gu Guanting, he felt like crying after listening to Tang Lingxi vilify the Blue Cloud Sect while comparing it to the Profound Flower Sect.
'Are you a disciple of the Blue Cloud Sect, or are you really from the Profound Flower Sect anyway?' she was crying in her heart.
