Chapter 210: Logistics Task
Eh?
Jiang Fan looked bewildered.
Aside from being your disciple, what other identity could I have?
Several Supreme Elders glanced over.
They also showed a look of confusion.
Could Jiang Fan have some other background?
Zhuang Yuanyin impatiently said, "Stop being so mysterious!"
"Just get to the point!"
Liu Wuchen then smiled and said,
"Actually, I won't hide it from you all."
"Jiang Fan is my son-in-law."
Uh—
Several Supreme Elders were stunned.
Huang Zhantian stared in disbelief: "You mean to say this kid and your daughter, Liu Qingxian, are a couple?"
Liu Wuchen said, "Indeed!"
"It's a bit awkward to talk about, but even before Jiang Fan joined the sect, he had already promised my daughter to be together for life."
Huang Zhantian was dumbfounded for a while, then said enviously and jealously:
"You two really know how to pick people!"
"One pick and it's spot on!"
"Hmph!"
Shi Kaitian's face turned even darker.
"Announce what? Don't think I'll congratulate you two!"
Zheng Qiushuang sneered, "Don't get too smug!"
Zhuang Yuanyin, however, smiled.
He gave Liu Wuchen a thumbs up.
Jiang Fan exhibited such a talent for Body Refinement that it was hard for the other Supreme Elders not to think of poaching him.
Now that Jiang Fan and Liu Qingxian's relationship was made public, they would have to back off.
But.
This left Jiang Fan completely confused.
What?
I'm your son-in-law?
He hurriedly said, "Master, are you mistaken?"
"There's nothing improper between me and Senior Sister..."
Mid-sentence,
he remembered Liu Qingxian kissing him in the private room.
He immediately felt guilty.
Liu Wuchen patted him on the shoulder, smiling, "A real man should own up to his actions."
"Nothing wrong with admitting it!"
The several Supreme Elders saw his guilty look and assumed it was true.
Their thoughts quickly dissipated into thin air.
And the disciples in the square.
Upon hearing this news, they were instantly in an uproar.
This was even more shocking than Tang Tianlong being defeated!
In their hearts, Liu Qingxian, like a dream lover, had long been Jiang Fan's woman!
"The hatred of taking one's wife is irreconcilable!"
"Jiang Fan, can you leave us a bit? Xu Youran, Chen Silin, you already have two peerless beauties, but you also stole Senior Sister Liu?"
"This guy really isn't afraid of being struck by lightning while walking!"
"I wish him eighteen sons!"
...
Chen Silin was stunned: "Jiang Fan and Liu Qingxian... already husband and wife?"
Xu Youran said, "Do you believe it?"
Eh?
Chen Silin calmed down and thought about it, Jiang Fan wasn't such an irresponsible person?
He didn't have any bad intentions with his two fiancées.
Not to mention Liu Qingxian who had no status?
"But Sect Master Liu..."
Xu Youran sighed, "So having a good father is like having the upper hand."
"Even if there is nothing between Jiang Fan and Liu Qingxian, once it's announced, false becomes true, truer than pearls!"
"I underestimated Miss Liu's methods."
"She brought her father into play."
"However..."
She looked calm and composed: "I still say the same thing."
"Whether she can have a name or not still needs my approval."
Chen Silin secretly felt relieved.
See how popular Jiang Fan is now.
The daughter of the Green Cloud Sect Master wanting to be with Jiang Fan, so difficult it's almost impossible.
Even bringing her father into play won't work.
Fortunately, she boarded the ship early; if it were now, there would probably be no chance.
Liu Wuchen looked around at the disciples.
With the disciple ratings done.
It was time to follow the orders of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion and dispatch disciples to the Beast Tide front line.
"Now, I will assign tasks to disciples rated as good or above."
"These tasks are all issued by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."
"Different tasks correspond to different merit points."
"Of course, the higher the merit points, the greater the danger."
He took out a series of task jade scrolls.
Then, after conferring with the other elders, they decided on the task assignments.
"Liu Qingxian, you will undertake a first-level mission, going to the Giant Sect's border to confront the beast tide head-on!"
Everyone was awestruck.
Just by listening to the task description, they knew a first-level mission was extremely dangerous.
Confronting the beast tide head-on could very well lead to one's demise.
"Tang Tianlong, you will undertake a second-level mission, going to Desires Sect to scout the beast tide's movement at the border."
Everyone understood.
Given Tang Tianlong's strength, he should have been assigned a first-level mission.
But because he was seriously injured by Jiang Fan, he had to take on a less dangerous but lower-merit second-level mission!
"Wang Chengjian, you will undertake a first-level mission, going to the Giant Sect's border to confront the beast tide head-on!"
Wang Chengjian showed no expression to this.
His gaze remained fixed on Jiang Fan.
"Jiang Fan, you will undertake... a third-level mission, transporting a batch of spiritual medicine to the Spirit Beast Sect."
Huh?
The disciples looked shocked.
Jiang Fan was so powerful, yet he was assigned to logistics?
However, considering it was the beast tide,
they were facing demon beasts!
Demon beasts' strongest suit was their physique!
Jiang Fan's Body Technique stood out among the Human Clan, but not necessarily against demon beasts.
Various cultivation techniques were more effective in killing demon beasts.
So it wasn't unreasonable to assign Jiang Fan to logistics.
Jiang Fan felt a bit disappointed.
"Really, only logistics?"
He felt a bit unwilling; this way, he would miss many opportunities to achieve merit.
But thinking again, the beast tide was overwhelming.
The Nine-Sect Land wouldn't be spared; there would be battlefields everywhere, so no rush for the moment.
Doing well in logistics and familiarizing himself with the Nine-Sect Land's environment wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
Wang Chengjian breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Luckily, Jiang Fan and Liu Qingxian were separated.
And he was assigned with Liu Qingxian.
He planned to persuade Liu Qingxian to leave someone with limited martial potential!
Next, all disciples rated good or above received their tasks.
It seemed like Liu Wuchen intentionally favored Xu Youran and Chen Silin.
He assigned them a joint task, a third-level logistics mission.
It was safe, and they could look after each other.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see Liu Wuchen was building goodwill for his daughter to join them.
Jiang Fan also breathed a slight sigh of relief.
The two women's task was the best possible.
The next day.
At dawn, disciples began leaving the mountain gate one after another.
Jiang Fan also packed up and headed out.
To bring Little Qilin along, he had a large robe custom-made overnight.
Little Qilin could hide inside the robe, so he wouldn't have to carry a conspicuous bag.
Prepared, he set off immediately.
Following the task's directions,
he traveled for five days straight.
Finally arriving at the Supreme Sect.
The task indicated others from three sects,
Experience new tales on My Virtual Library Empire
but upon reaching the Supreme Sect's gate, he was alone.
"They must still be on the way."
Jiang Fan murmured, deciding to first retrieve the spiritual medicine.
Holding the task jade scroll, he entered the Supreme Sect.
The Supreme Sect seemed slower than the Green Cloud Sect.
Today, they started selecting disciples to defend against the beast tide.
They'd hold a competition between Nine Peaks for selection.
But it hadn't started yet.
Seizing the time before they got busy,
Jiang Fan hurriedly holding the jade scroll, arrived at the Divine Doctor Peak.
Where the Great Elder, Shangguan Sheng, resided.
The task specified to obtain spiritual medicine from Shangguan Sheng.
Upon ascending the Divine Doctor Peak,
he saw a group of disciples sitting in a pavilion, discussing martial arts.
Among them was Xia Chaoge.
She remained as quiet as ever, still not fond of such gatherings.
But when she sensed someone at the stair entrance,
she was slightly stunned.
Her lovely, cold face showed a soft smile of surprise as she quickly approached, respectfully saying:
"Martial Uncle, what brings you here?"
In the pavilion, a few disciples with obviously high status,
couldn't help but frown.
