No Trouble
Early in the morning, Chu Xingyun heard the sound of footsteps as the first rays of the morning sun shone down.
The door opened and a grey-robed Heartless Tie slowly walked in. Behind him were two law enforcement disciples, one on his left and one on his right. Their auras weren't weak at all.
"Is there a result?" Chu Xingyun stood up and asked in a calm voice.
Heartless Tie nodded and said, "The matter has been investigated. The incident in the Dense Fog Forest was planned by Gu Qingsong. He and Xiao Ting secretly reached an agreement and used his position as an elder to make the new disciples attack you. The entire incident has been publicized by the Law Enforcement Hall and the Dreamy Cloud Martial House has already punished Gu Qingsong and the other disciples."
"What punishment?" Chu Xingyun asked again.
"Gu Qingsong has been stripped of his position as an elder and the other disciples have been confined for a month." Heartless Tie lowered his voice. As soon as he finished speaking, the corner of Chu Xingyun's mouth rose into a mocking smile.
Heartless Tie immediately felt embarrassed and said, "Chu Xingyun, this matter involves a lot of people. We must …"
"We must maintain the relationship between our two great Martial Houses. Don't provoke disputes just because of a small conflict. No matter what, the two people behind the scenes have already received the punishment they deserved. It's better to quit while we're ahead. This is beneficial to both sides." Chu Xingyun continued with a sneer in his eyes, "Elder Tie, am I right?"
Heartless Tie's face turned red when he felt Chu Xingyun's mockery. He helplessly nodded his head.
"I already expected this outcome, so I won't be too disappointed. I will deal with the grudge between the Dreamy Cloud Martial House and myself. There's no need to trouble the Lingxiao Martial House."
Chu Xingyun ignored Heartless Tie's gaze. He turned his head and said in a loud voice, "Luo Lan, let's go."
"Alright," Luo Lan immediately replied. She hurriedly walked out of the courtyard and left with Chu Xing Yun.
"This Chu Xingyun is really arrogant. Who does he think he is? Does he think he can overthrow the Yunmeng Martial House by himself?"
"Gu Qingsong has already been stripped of his position as an elder. What else does he want?"
After Chu Xingyun walked far away, the two Law Enforcement Disciples finally couldn't bear it any longer. One after another, they expressed the dissatisfaction in their hearts. They felt that Chu Xingyun was too arrogant and condescending.
"He's a bit arrogant, but our Soaring Heaven Martial House needs such a talent." Heartless Iron stared in the direction Chu Xingyun had left. His words stunned the two law enforcement disciples. They hadn't expected Heartless Iron to praise Chu Xingyun.
Heartless Tie glanced at the two law enforcement disciples and sighed. "Among the Five Great Martial Houses, our Soaring Heaven Martial House has never participated in politics. However, in the past ten years, the Radical Faction has become more and more powerful. It has caused a huge impact on us."
"On the surface, this matter seems to be planned by Gu Qingsong. However, we don't know how many people are secretly involved. However, one thing is certain. It definitely has something to do with the Radical Faction."
The two law enforcement disciples' faces turned pale. If what Heartless Iron said was true, the whole matter would become extremely complicated.
"Since this matter is so serious, why don't we interrogate Chu Xingyun directly?" One of the law enforcement disciples asked.
"We still don't know the truth of this matter. If we act rashly, it might backfire. Moreover, I feel that this Chu Xingyun is not an ordinary person. Since this matter started from him, it's not a bad idea to let him handle it himself."
The smile on Heartless Iron's face deepened. The two law enforcement disciples didn't say anything else and shut their mouths. They had followed Heartless Iron for many years, but this was the first time they had heard him give such a high evaluation.
Not long after they left the courtyard, Chu Xingyun saw Yang Feng and Ye Huan.
"Yang Yan hasn't returned yet?" Chu Xingyun asked Yang Feng. Yang Feng smiled helplessly and nodded resentfully.
Calculating the time, it had already been a month since Yang Yan had entered the Imperial Palace. This made Chu Xingyun curious as to what had taken him so long.
"We don't need to care too much about the Imperial Palace. Let's go. I'll take you back to your residence first." Yang Feng smiled and pointed at the core disciples' residence.
In the Soaring Heaven Martial House, the disciples were divided into three ranks: outer disciples, inner disciples, and core disciples.
The core disciples had a very high status. They were not below the elders. Every core disciple had their own courtyard. During the seven days of confinement, Yang Feng had already arranged everything.
"Elder Yang, please leave the residence to Luo Lan. I want to go to the Soaring Heaven Pavilion first." Chu Xingyun had been thinking about this matter. Now that his confinement was over, how could he be in the mood to deal with the trivial matters of his residence?
"That's fine. After all, increasing your strength is the key." Yang Feng understood Chu Xingyun's mood. He smiled and said, "Ye Huan, you take Junior Chu to the Soaring Heaven Pavilion. Luo Lan and I will go back to our residence. We'll go our separate ways."
Ye Huan nodded and strode forward, leading Chu Xingyun towards the Soaring Heaven Pavilion.
The Soaring Heaven Martial House occupied a very large area. It was like a small city. There were many buildings, such as the Law Enforcement Hall, Elder Courtyard, School, Martial Plaza, and so on. Every area was filled with a sense of vitality.
Among these areas, there were three that were the most important in the Soaring Heaven Martial House.
The first was the Nine Heaven Pavilion. It contained a large number of martial arts techniques for the disciples of the Martial House to cultivate.
The second place was the Heaven Pavilion. There were countless missions for the disciples of the Martial House to choose from. After completing the mission, they would receive corresponding rewards.
The third place was the Soaring Heaven Pavilion. This place was the forbidden area of the Soaring Heaven Martial House. The treasures hidden inside were all accumulated by the Soaring Heaven Martial House for hundreds of years. They were extremely precious and mysterious. Only those who had contributed to the Soaring Heaven Martial House were qualified to enter.
"The Soaring Heaven Pavilion has countless treasures. This is naturally true. However, among these treasures, there are many defective goods. Junior Chu, this is your first time entering, so you must be careful. Otherwise, you will suffer a great loss."
Ye Huan said as he walked. As he spoke, many disciples of the Martial House cast curious glances at him. When they saw Chu Xingyun, their expressions slightly changed and they unconsciously lowered their heads.
Although seven days had passed since the incident in the Fog Forest, it was still difficult to erase it from everyone's mind.
Especially in the Wind and Cloud Arena, Chu Xingyun had single-handedly killed two experts, Li Yi and Xiao Ting. That heaven-shaking scene of ten thousand beasts galloping had long been deeply imprinted in his mind, and he couldn't forget it.
Chu Xingyun didn't listen to Ye Huan's words, nor did he care about the expressions of the surrounding disciples. Instead, he quickened his pace and turned into an afterimage, flashing past the crowd.
Not long after, Chu Xingyun slowed down until he came to a stop.
At this moment, an extremely spacious and empty space had appeared before him, and an astonishingly enormous and simple pavilion stood towering on the empty space.
Slowly sweeping his gaze, he saw an ancient plaque hanging outside the pavilion. On the plaque, there were two ancient words — Soaring Heaven.
