Supreme Emptiness

Uh—

Lin Yuheng glanced sideways at Jiang Fan, who was standing next to him, showing a bit of astonishment,

"Are you Jiang Fan?"

Ruan Qingsu, who was beside him, was also stunned.

Then, he silently gritted his teeth.

"Jiang Fan, huh? You little bastard, I will remember your name!"

Jiang Fan said seriously, "Commissioner Lin, whatever you have to say, feel free to ask."

"As a disciple, I will speak without reservation and fully cooperate with the inquiry."

Seeing Jiang Fan's attitude.

Lin Yuheng thought he had scared Jiang Fan a bit.

His tone quickly softened, and he said warmly, "Don't be afraid; this is just routine."

"I will just ask a few simple questions."

Liu Wuchen and a few elders exchanged glances, realizing they all felt somewhat relieved.

Relieved that Jiang Fan had gained Lin Yuheng's favor.

And showed him great care.

Perhaps she might go easy on the punishment for Jiang Fan's sake.

Jiang Fan smiled, "Senior Lin, please ask."

He felt no guilt regarding his actions in the Supreme Sect.

He didn't think he had done anything wrong.

Lin Yuheng nodded slightly, took out a handwritten letter from the Supreme Sect Master, and said,

"Not long ago, the Supreme Sect Master sent this letter of complaint to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."

"The complaint states that the Green Cloud Sect Master is shielding his relatives and neglecting his duties in battle!"

?

??

???

Everyone, from Liu Wuchen down to the ordinary disciples, had question marks popping up all over their foreheads.

They had been speculating on what the Supreme Sect Master's complaint might be.

They had imagined a hundred, a thousand possibilities.

But they had never thought it would be something about shielding relatives and neglecting duties in battle!

Where did that come from?

Liu Wuchen asked quizzically, "Commissioner Lin, besides this, is there any other content in the complaint?"

Lin Yuheng slightly shook her head, "It's just this one."

Liu Wuchen couldn't help but scoff, "I have even sent my daughter to the frontline of the Giant Sect to undertake the most dangerous missions."

"Where is the shielding of relatives?"

"What a joke!"

Several elders found it inexplicable as well.

Liu Qingxian was still fighting on the frontline of the human clan and demon beast war at the moment.

How could she be neglecting her duties in battle?

Moreover, even if Liu Wuchen was reluctant to let his relatives take risks, was it really worth reporting?

Lin Yuheng, staring at the details on the complaint letter, frowned and said,

"Sect Master Liu, is Jiang Fan your relative?"

"The letter states that Jiang Fan is your son-in-law."

Uh—

Liu Wuchen froze for a moment, then nodded, "That's right, I did publicly announce that Jiang Fan is my son-in-law."

"He is my relative, which is not incorrect."

"But I also assigned him tasks and he just returned."

"Where is the shielding involved?"

This…

Lin Yuheng was also a bit puzzled.

She initially thought Jiang Fan was some top-level disciple.

Now she realized Jiang Fan was just a new disciple.

At best, in the sixth or seventh layer of Foundation Establishment?

To send him on tasks showed such impartiality, it couldn't be more unrelated to shielding.

What was the Supreme Sect Master thinking?

What kind of complaint was he making?

On the other hand, Ruan Qingsu, narrowing her charming eyes, spoke up, "May I ask, Sect Master Liu,"

"What task did you assign to Jiang Fan?"

Liu Wuchen glanced at her, righteously responding, "A third-level task, escorting spiritual medicine."

"Is there any problem with that?"

Lin Yuheng nodded slightly.

Not a problem at all.

Given Jiang Fan's capability, a third-level task was quite suitable.

She really couldn't understand why the Supreme Sect Master lodged the complaint.

Ruan Qingsu, however, gasped, exclaiming, "What?"

"You assigned him a third-level task?"

"No wonder the Supreme Sect Master complained!"

With Jiang Fan's terrifying strength, capable of taking down a group of Beast Kings on the frontline.

But he was assigned a third-level logistic task within the Nine-Sect territory?

Not just the Supreme Sect Master.

Even she wanted to complain now!

This level of shielding was truly excessive!

"Shut up, I didn't allow you to speak!" Lin Yuheng scolded.

Wasn't she embarrassed enough?

She turned to Jiang Fan, puzzled, "As of now, your task seems perfectly normal."

"Did you do anything at the Supreme Sect to offend the Supreme Sect Master?"

"Tell me honestly; if the Supreme Sect Master is maliciously slandering you, I will stand up for you!"

Jiang Fan was also confused.

He bowed and said, "To be honest, I don't know where I might have offended the Supreme Sect Master."

"I only discussed Medical and Martial Paths with their disciples."

"I truly can't think of anything improper."

Discussing Medical and Martial Paths?

That was quite mundane, wasn't it?

What was wrong with the Supreme Sect Master to lodge such a public complaint accusing Jiang Fan of being shielded?

Liu Wuchen and the elders were also puzzled.

This complaint truly made no sense.

However, Ruan Qingsu picked up on something and said,

"Master, maybe you should ask him how he discussed Martial Paths with their disciples."

Lin Yuheng thought it through.

Only in discussing Martial Paths could there possibly be an unintentional offense, inciting the Supreme Sect Master's displeasure.

But Jiang Fan's pitiful strength, who could he hurt?

The disciples of the Supreme Sect were much stronger than those of the Green Cloud Sect.

Jiang Fan would be lucky not to get hurt himself, let alone hurt others.

Still, there was a clue.

Better ask as a formality.

"How did you discuss Martial Paths with the Supreme Sect's disciples?"

Jiang Fan sorted through his memories.

Unhurriedly said, "First, I disciplined someone for insulting my niece, Yan Yuqing."

Hmm???

Niece Yan Yuqing?

Disciplining someone for insults?

Such a short statement, but so much information that everyone present could barely process it.

Lin Yuheng was stunned, "Whose disciple is Yan Yuqing? Why can you call her your niece?"

Being part of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, she wasn't well-versed in the disciples' situations across the Nine-Sect.

But the elders of the Green Cloud Sect were bound to know.

Liu Wuchen's eyebrows raised, and he quickly said, "Jiang Fan, don't speak nonsense."

"Yan Yuqing is the chief disciple of Divine Doctor Shangguan. How can you call her your niece?"

"If he hears about this, it will be no small matter."

Seniority cannot be casually tampered with.

Especially someone as renowned across the Nine-Sect Land as Divine Doctor Shangguan.

One must never casually change the order of seniority with him.

So she was Divine Doctor Shangguan's disciple!

Lin Yuheng was slightly astonished, cautioning, "Jiang Fan, you mustn't speak such words carelessly."

"Divine Doctor Shangguan maintains significant connections within the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion as well."

"If others find out about your disrespect, some in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion will hold you accountable."

Ruan Qingsu sneered, "How daring."

"To exploit Divine Doctor Shangguan's name!"

"Aren't you afraid someone will trouble you?"

Several elders' faces changed color.

The Supreme Sect's Great Elder, the number one Divine Doctor of the Nine-Sect Land.

His esteemed stature must not be offended!

At this moment.

Many people realized,

Could it be that Jiang Fan was reported because he offended Shangguan Sheng by speaking rashly in the Supreme Sect?

Case solved!

This was the reason!

Lin Yuheng felt speechless; after all this, it was trouble caused by the mouth!

She was about to reprimand Jiang Fan when a series of shocking words came from a few elders.

"Jiang Fan is indeed Divine Doctor Shangguan's junior brother."
