Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 317: Chapter 317 Living Bodhisattva

Qin Caihe nodded repeatedly, “Yes, Junior Brother, tell me.”

Jiang Fan said, “May I ask if your sect has a Supreme Elder named Zhou Qidan?”

Qin Caihe solemnly said, “Indeed we do, why does Junior Brother Jiang ask this?”

There really was such a person.

It seemed that old man wasn’t completely talking nonsense.

Jiang Fan said, “If I wanted to visit this Supreme Elder, would it be very difficult?”

Ah?

Qin Caihe was taken aback, then showed a troubled expression, “I’m afraid you won’t be able to meet her.”

“Even we rarely get the chance to see her.”

Jiang Fan wasn’t too surprised.

Even in the Green Cloud Sect, it was very difficult for Jiang Fan to see his own sect’s Supreme Elders.

To visit an Outer Sect Supreme Elder, how could a small disciple like him just pay a visit?

Unless he was a Supreme Elder of some sect himself, it wouldn’t be possible.

After a brief thought, Jiang Fan said, “Then could you perhaps relay a message?”

“Just say I wish to make a trade with her, regarding demon beast materials.”

Qin Caihe was still very troubled.

Although during those days spent with Jiang Fan, she indeed received quite a few good items from him.

But “good” was only relative to the disciples; for a Supreme Elder, they were not worth mentioning.

However, this was the only way she could help Jiang Fan.

Thus, she gritted her teeth and said, “Alright, I will first take you to see my master.”

“As a small disciple, I have no qualification to contact the Supreme Elder.”

In truth, Qin Caihe had no confidence that she could persuade her master to help.

After all, an elder helping an Outer Sect’s disciple contact their own Supreme Elder.

Just thinking about it seemed to lose face.

All she could do was try her best.

Qin Caihe set aside her matters and took Jiang Fan up to Cloud Sword Peak.

The two barely reached the peak.

When they heard a woman’s stern scolding, “You two still have the face to come back?”

“The first-level mission at the Giant Sect front line, you didn’t complete a single one, all failed!”

“The other peaks’ disciples all succeeded!”

Jiang Fan’s steps halted.

He glanced towards the peak.

He saw a woman in her forties in a gauze dress, scolding two kneeling female disciples.

One was crying like a weeping willow in the rain.

The other bit her lip, her face full of grievance and unwillingness.

“It seems we’ve come at a bad time,” Jiang Fan said sideways.

But he found Qin Caihe shrinking her neck, stepping back down the stairs.

At this scene.

How could she dare to go up and touch the bad luck?

Her master was usually very strict, and would scold disciples who made mistakes harshly.

Especially when angry?

However, the Cloud Sword Peak Master, with a move of her ear, detected the commotion and shouted, “Who?”

Qin Caihe’s face turned pale.

She had no choice but to steel herself, walk up the stairs, and reveal herself. She lowered her head and cautiously said, “Disciple Qin Caihe, greets Master.”

Seeing her, the Cloud Sword Peak Master became even angrier, shouting, “Sneaking around for what?”

“No sense of discipline!”

“Get over here, kneel properly!”

Qin Caihe’s face was full of bitterness.

She knew she would run into bad luck.

She obediently walked over and shrank her neck as she knelt in front of her two Senior Sisters.

Before she could explain, the Cloud Sword Peak Master scolded her harshly, “Speak truthfully! Where have you been these days?”

“Executing a third-level mission took you half a month!”

“If you hadn’t returned, I was about to report to the sect that you had died outside!”

With her drawing fire, the other two Senior Sisters finally got a breather.

They secretly glanced at Qin Caihe, showing schadenfreude.

The two of them failing a first-level mission was understandable.

After all, the front line was full of dangers, and the battle situation was unpredictable.

Failing tasks was a common occurrence.

But spending half a month on a third-level mission was truly absurd.

If you said she wasn’t slacking off, who would believe it?

Qin Caihe quickly explained, “Master, this disciple has been diligently executing tasks these days.”

“I haven’t been lazy.”

“After completing the Supreme Sect’s mission to the Spirit Beast Sect, I immediately took on the mission from the Spirit Beast Sect to the Desires Sect.”

“And along the way encountered many dangers, hence the delay.”

Hmm?

The Cloud Sword Peak Master’s cold face showed a slight frown, “You can take tasks from the Spirit Beast Sect?”

The two Senior Sisters curled their lips.

Lying without a draft!

With Qin Caihe’s strength, at most, she could execute third-level tasks.

And these low-tier tasks were not even enough for the Spirit Beast Sect’s low-level disciples, how would they assign one to an outsider?

Qin Caihe nodded, “This disciple dares not lie.”

The Cloud Sword Peak Master showed doubt, “Was it Lu Xinghe who helped you?”

This caused the two Senior Sisters to be stunned, then immediately disdainful.

Almost forgot, Qin Caihe had befriended a strong person at the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment from their sect.

The other party was capable of taking a second-level task from the Spirit Beast Sect.

It was entirely possible for him to take Qin Caihe along and share the credit with her.

However, they were puzzled.

Mentioning Lu Xinghe, Qin Caihe’s face showed disdain, “Him?”

“It’s good he didn’t get me killed, let alone help me.”

Thinking about Lu Xinghe’s arrogance, which caused them to fall into Black Lotus’s ambush, she remained furious.

This made the Cloud Sword Peak Master curious.

“Then what task did you take at the Spirit Beast Sect?”

Qin Caihe felt slightly guilty, “It was a first-level task.”

She had been merely playing a minor role in that task.

The task was completed solely because of Jiang Fan’s efforts.

Hence, she spoke with a lack of confidence.

To her surprise.

Just as the words left her mouth, the Cloud Sword Peak Master’s face turned icily cold, her shoulders shaking with anger!

“You three! Are you trying to anger me to death?”

“Two of you who can complete first-level tasks, all failed!”

“The one who can’t complete them, lies through her teeth!”

“You three have utterly shamed Cloud Sword Peak!”

She trembled with rage, her chest heaving violently.

Pointing with a shaking finger at the two older female disciples, she said, “Chen Tingfang, Sun Huarong! Both of you get back to your caves for meditation and reflection!”

“As for you, Qin Caihe! Lazy and deceitful, your crime is unforgivable!”

“Go to the Reward and Punishment Hall yourself, to receive one hundred lashes!”

Ah?

Qin Caihe panicked, “Master, this disciple didn’t lie.”

“It was a Junior Brother from the Outer Sect who helped me complete the first-level task.”

But the more she explained, the angrier the Cloud Sword Peak Master became.

“A Junior Brother from the Outer Sect? Where would such a Living Bodhisattva come from to kindly help you complete a first-level task?”

“And a Junior Brother at that, which sect has such a young genius who can help you complete a first-level task?”

“Lying without a draft, are you trying to anger me to death?”

“Get out! Go to the Reward and Punishment Hall immediately, and receive an additional one hundred lashes!”

Her lungs were about to burst with anger.

If she could have told a lie that was somewhat believable, she would have grudgingly accepted it.

Such a transparently bad lie, trying to deceive her?

Did she take her for a fool?

From below the stairs.

Jiang Fan, who had intended to avoid the bad luck, could no longer hide.

He had no choice but to remove his mask and reveal his true face.

Then, he forced himself to approach and said with cupped hands:

“Jiang Fan, a disciple of Green Cloud Peak, greets Cloud Sword Peak Master.”

Suddenly having an Outer Sect disciple visit, the Cloud Sword Peak Master forcefully restrained her anger and tried to appear peaceful.

To avoid giving the Outer Sect a bad impression of her temper.

“You visit my peak, do you have some matter?” she asked as she looked Jiang Fan up and down.

Finding his name somewhat familiar.

Jiang Fan straightforwardly said, “To answer the Peak Master, I am here to testify for Senior Sister Qin.”

Testify?

The Cloud Sword Peak Master was puzzled, “Testify what?”

With a bitter smile, Jiang Fan continued, “To be honest, Peak Master.”

“I am the ‘Living Bodhisattva’ you mentioned.”
