Chapter 277 - Inaction Or Unwavering Commitment (1/2)

”Long... I mean... Fang. Can I speak to you for a minute.”

”What's on your mind?” Xiao Fang replied.

”It's just... the girls at the swordsmen club have been asking about you. Even Senior Chu wanted me to ask you to go see her. Are you really not planning to go?” Zhao Pan asked.

After the girls in the swordsmen club learned that Zhao Pan was in the same guild as Xiao Fang, they wouldn't leave her alone. Some of her seniors in the upper floors even came down to speak to her about him, but she never knew what to say.

”Senior Chu...” Xiao Fang said to himself as he thought.

He suspected that she was from his province, but the chances of that seemed slim. Knowing the Chu family, they were extremely devoted to the Divine Sword sect, so for one of them to be here would certainly be strange. Although it wasn't an act of betrayal, something like this would still be investigated if his father knew about it.

Xiao Fang finally shook his head.

”Tell her I'm busy, maybe some other time.”

Zhao Pan didn't know why Xiao Fang was so against going to the swordsmen club considering how much talent he had. However, she wasn't the kind of girl to care about other people's personal life, so she didn't bother to ask.

”How did your application to the Disciplinary Department go?” Xiao Fang asked to change the subject.

Zhao Pan had told him that she was going to apply for it when they were in class today, so Xiao Fang assumed she had done it by now.

”I handed it in, but...”

Although the pause was brief, Xiao Fang still caught it.

”Something wrong?” Xiao Fang asked.

”It's probably nothing... I should hurry up and get ready. The girls are probably waiting for me outside,” Zhao Pan said.

”Mn, go now. We can talk about it when you get back,” Xiao Fang replied.

Zhao Pan wasn't used to sharing information about herself with anyone, so she froze when she heard his words. She eventually nodded, then a light smile appeared on her face as she left.

”She seems like a nice girl,” Jiang Mei commented.

”...”

Xiao Fang didn't respond, but he agreed with her statement.

”Jiang Mei, I recently came up with a few ideas for the guild, I would like to get your input on,” Xiao Fang said.

”Sure, what have you thought of?”

Jiang Mei followed Xiao Fang out of the gym as he passed a few ideas through her. He valued her counseling because she used to own a guild back when she was an Inner Court disciple.

As far as he knew, her guild was no longer around and long forgotten. She didn't feel comfortable sharing what happened to it, but she promised she would never allow his guild to suffer the same fate as hers.
