The young man heard Luo Ran’s words and smiled bitterly, "Teacher, that’s not necessary."

"I didn’t know he was your disciple before I came. If you had given me a hint earlier, I wouldn’t have come."

Luo Ran countered, "So if he’s not my disciple, he can be suppressed?"

Xuu Zixu, it seems you’ve been in Dragon Abyss for too long. Are you unaware of the current situation?"

Shen Fei understood; it seemed the visitor was also a Summoner, and a former student of his master.

The Heavenly Pride Club is here now.

No need to say, it must be Jiang She’s doing, planning to deny losing and use background to pressure him.

But all Jiang She does is use such deceitful tricks.

Xuu Zixu felt troubled, if he had known, he wouldn’t have taken the task, damn it.

He thought he would just step in, and besides, Zhenyuan was indeed quite important to the Heavenly Pride Club.

He happened to be switching defenses at the Abyss and planned to visit his alma mater, and by the way, see his teacher.

Wow.

Two things coincided. He originally thought Shen Fei was backed by Li Cunlong.

In terms of strength, Li Cunlong couldn’t surpass him, and in terms of background, Li Cunlong was still his junior.

He had looked at Shen Fei’s profile, indeed a genius, a true genius, even his only profession as a summoner couldn’t compare to Shen Fei.

He was also interested in nurturing talent, as long as he put in the care.

Shen Fei’s final stop wouldn’t be limited to Tier Nine.

Since Shen Fei has a conflict with Zhenyuan, why not turn Shen Fei into one of his own?

As for Jiang She and the Black Iron King behind him?

Consider it as finding talent for your organization, and let Jiang She apologize to Shen Fei.

But who knew.

That Shen Fei’s backing was his teacher, really damn it!

Xuu Zixu was sitting at the tea table, listening to Luo Ran talking about her new disciple named Shen Fei.

He was practically grinding his teeth.

Damn it, this isn’t a case of Dragon King Miao being flooded, it’s like ’Who dares to accuse the officer here in court?’."

"Hey, that’s quite a statement."

Xuu Zixu rubbed his forehead, "I’ll go back and talk to them, let them be more cautious in the future."

He couldn’t help but glance at his ’senior brother’, his gaze somewhat resentful.

You have such a big background, why didn’t you just say so!

Before coming, he specifically asked about Shen Fei’s big move, besides the support of the Breaking Abyss Army, who else was there?

There were only some contacts with Li Cunlong.

Xuu Zixu smiled, "Teacher, have some tea first. You’re right, but you also know that situation in the Heavenly Pride Club isn’t solely dictated by me.

The relationships behind the Heavenly Pride Club are much more complicated than those of the Breaking Abyss Army, with more people involved.

And more resources are needed as well. The Heavenly Pride Club only aims to better utilize resources."

"A bunch of resource-guzzling good-for-nothing. They’d rather scheme internally than go suppress the Abyss."

Xuu Zixu could only endure the scolding, as Luo Ran had helped him out once.

Achieving Tier Nine was partly due to Luo Ran’s help.

He could only murmur reluctantly, "The Heavenly Pride Club is earnest about suppressing the Abyss, alright.

But with so many people, there are always different thoughts."

"And moreover..."

Xuu Zixu couldn’t help but say, "One of the founders of Zhenyuan is teacher’s master; who knew the senior brother’s backing was the teacher."

Shen Fei was stunned hearing Xuu Zixu’s words.

Only today did he realize one of the founders of Zhenyuan was actually his grandmaster?

He turned out to be the Crown Prince of Zhenyuan.

This situation led to bursts of laughter.

It was akin to overthrowing his own rule!

"Times are changing, everything is in motion. What was once progress may now be outdated in today’s era."

"Your grandmaster foresaw this, or perhaps the people who established Zhenyuan Society foresaw it."

Luo Ran sighed as she touched her teacup, "They built Zhenyuan not for Zhenyuan’s sake, but for the preservation of Wu Xia and the development of the era."

"When there’s a day that this nurturing system isn’t needed anymore, there needs to be a mighty force to break it.

And establish a new organization."

Xuu Zixu lowered his head in silence, speaking after a moment, "Teacher, it’s not that simple.

The exceptional individuals who emerged during the turbulent times were few, regarded as independent entities.

Three hundred years might not be long, yet not short enough to spawn many families."

"Otherwise, the Heavenly Pride Club wouldn’t have emerged."

Luo Ran said, "Just because it’s difficult, doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be done? There are foreign threats in addition to internal issues."

"But various aristocratic families and powers check and balance each other. Even Marshal Meng finds such situations tricky.

Zhenyuan is just one point among many."

Xuu Zixu couldn’t help but remind, "This isn’t something a single Tier Ten could overthrow."

Shen Fei, who had been silent thus far, opened his mouth, "If Tier Ten isn’t enough, then keep advancing!

When I’ve reached the point where I alone can overwhelm all Tier Tens, they’ll comply with what I say."

Xuu Zixu turned his gaze to Shen Fei upon hearing his words once more.

"Senior brother, you are indeed teacher’s disciple, but... I can only say it’s really not simple."

Since Luo Ran was present, Xuu Zixu refrained from discouraging Shen Fei.

He could only express it diplomatically.

In his youth, he too wanted to change the world, but as he climbed higher step by step, he realized many things weren’t as straightforward as he thought.

"To eliminate flaws and reverse the tide... Strength is undoubtedly important, but so are prestige, connections, and so forth."

Luo Ran merely smiled, "What you’re referring to just suggests insufficient strength, needing compensation from other sides."

"Shen Fei might be bold, but he indeed possesses the capability to rectify today’s flaws."

"Of course, it’s not just about words. Just wait and see."

Xuu Zixu realized Luo Ran’s apparent intention to support Shen Fei upon hearing her clear stance.

It was evident she planned to back Shen Fei, leaving him without much to say.

"Alright, then I can only remind senior brother those people can be ruthless without regard to rules."

Luo Ran tapped the table, "That would mean considering me dead. Plus, Shen Fei isn’t as simple as you think."

"I have no objection to reasonable competition within certain boundaries, but if things get out of hand, I can slay Abyssal Creatures, and I can slay them too."

Honestly.

Luo Ran also didn’t truly know what Shen Fei was still hiding.

His performance during the fierce battle with the Supreme General had already surprised her.

Moreover, the growth speed of his Summoned Beast was remarkable.

"Teacher, I’ll take my leave now." Xuu Zixu nodded, hesitated, and asked, "So should I mention that Shen Fei is your disciple once I return?"

Having noted Shen Fei’s prowess now.

Luo Ran preferred not to shield him anymore but to let him face the storms and challenges.

"Go ahead."

"But then, with the true inheritance of this generation of Tier Ten not yet materialized, senior brother emerging now."

"He might not only become a subject of study among Wu Xia’s peers."

"Even those abroad might investigate, as you pose enough pressure on them."

"If at that point, senior brother’s abilities grow too slowly..."

Luo Ran’s beautiful eyes landed on Shen Fei, "Are you scared?"

"Scared of what? The stronger the wind and waves, the more valuable the fish!"

Xuu Zixu left, but before going, he gave Shen Fei a meeting gift, an Epic Level Summoner Skill Book.

[Tri-Elemental Shield]

Can transform the corresponding attributes of the three Summoned Beasts with the highest constitution, highest spirit, and highest resistance into shields.

To counter three types of attacks.

It’s a pity it requires the Second Transformation to learn.

After Xuu Zixu left, Shen Fei naturally got up and sat back down across from Luo Ran, making the conversation more convenient.

"Did you hear what your junior brother said?"

Luo Ran looked at Shen Fei, "The greater the ability, the greater the power, and likewise, the greater the responsibility."

"Disciples of your master are watched both domestically and abroad, not to mention the Abyss, and soon, news of you being my disciple will spread inside and out."

"At that point, countless eyes will watch you."

Shen Fei laughed, "I’ve long anticipated it, considering it’s not easy to be your disciple."

"If you hadn’t pointed me out, perhaps I’d still be struggling as a student.

Figuring out how to develop my own summoner school."

"Of course, not that self-development wouldn’t be good, but the War School clearly offers broader horizons."
