Chapter 316: Letters

Even after hearing James’ words, it was impossible for Fang Xingjian to not take any action.

He arrived at the entrance to the Sacred Land, saw Zhou Xingwen who was waiting there, and walked toward him.

In terms of networking, Fang Xingjian was far from a match for James, who was the Regional Academy’s Headmaster two generations ago and was very senior in comparison. However, this did not mean that Fang Xingjian had no connections at all.

Handing three letters to Zhou Xingwen, Fang Xingjian said, “Help me to send out these three letters. The letters must definitely be delivered into their hands.”

Taking a look at the envelopes, Zhou Xingwen saw that the first one was addressed to Rehlings of the Northern Ice Region Regional Academy and asked, “You know this person? Rumor has it that his skills surpass even that of the Northern Ice Region’s Governor.”

Fang Xingjian did not say anything. Truth be told, if Rehlings had not sent someone to invite him over to the Northern Ice Region for an exchange a few days back, Fang Xingjian would not have known about him. This letter was being sent out as a last resort. He was not really sure if Rehlings would be willing to stand up for him during the arbitration with regard to the Rebirth Sword Technique.

Zhou Xingwen then took a look at the second envelope. It was addressed to the current Headmaster of the Regional Academy and the Governor of the Great Western Region, Devitt. Zhou Xingwen knew that Devitt had great admiration and support for Fang Xingjian.

However, he did not know that Fang Xingjian was in fact trying to contact the Second Prince. Having encountered something like the association’s arbitration, even if Fang Xingjian had absolute confidence in the Rebirth Sword Technique, he would be too foolish if he were to take on the matter alone and wait for backup only after finding himself in trouble.

Even a lion would use its full strength when going against a rabbit. Fang Xingjian naturally needed to make good use of whatever time he had and call up all the help he could. Particularly, it would be even better if the Governor and the Second Prince could help speak up for him.

Then when Zhou Xingwen saw the third letter, his eyes seemed to pop out as he said in astonishment, “You want to send a letter to this… this Lord?”

“Mmm, just give it a try.”

Fang Xingjian’s third letter was addressed to the Holy Orison. This Divine level expert had once wanted to take Fang Xingjian as his disciple. If the Holy Orison had really done so in admiration of Fang Xingjian’s talent, he might be willing to help Fang Xingjian.

Moreover, Fang Xingjian had also added in some perks into the content of the letter. He was not sure if someone like the Holy Orison would be satisfied with it, but it was still worth a try. After all, if a person like the Holy Orison were to stand on Fang Xingjian’s side, Fang Xingjian would basically be considered to have won the arbitration. Who would dare rebut a theory supported by the Holy Orison?

If the Holy Orison were to say that there was no problems with the Rebirth Sword Technique, who would dare to say otherwise?

After making arrangements for these three letters to be sent out, Fang Xingjian headed for the Sword Tower, planning to continue with his research. Regardless how the association’s arbitration would turn out, he had done what he needed to do. It was all so that he would not have to waste time, which would then affect his training.

If this problem were to persist to the extent of adversely affecting his training and progress, it would be placing his priorities in the reversed order.

When Fang Xingjian arrived at the Sword Tower, he noticed that the surrounding people were casting somewhat strange gazes at him. There were gazes which seemed to be filled with pity and disdain, while there were also people who seemed to happy at his misfortune. These people pointed at Fang Xingjian and then seemed to say something to the people next to them.

Leon walked over with a slightly gloomy look. When he saw Fang Xingjian, he only said coldly, “Xingjian, come over here for a moment. Teacher Hoppes is looking for you.”

Earlier that morning, the Sword Arts Department had received a notice from the Knight Association, raising the issue of how the Rebirth Sword Technique had caused internal injuries. It was requested for the department to first conduct an internal investigation.

Hoppes, as the person who had evaluated the sword technique, had also received a stern warning. As a result, Leon who was Hoppes’ disciple, also felt ashamed.

All of these things were due to Fang Xingjian. So, right now, there was no way Leon would be able to have a good expression when facing Fang Xingjian.

When Fang Xingjian arrived at the office, Hoppes lifted his head, took at look at Fang Xingjian and said with a smile, “Xingjian, you’re here.” He handed Xingjian the notice sent by the association and asked, “What do you think about this?”

“It’s just a waste of my time. The Rebirth Sword Technique definitely has no problems.”

Leon said angrily, “If there are no problems with the Rebirth Sword Technique, then why would those three suffer from internal injuries? Ordinary Nurturing sword techniques would definitely not be able to cause injuries.
