Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1373: Chapter 1372: Chen Fan, Fang Qing, Mu Lie

Seeing Su Han walking this way, the people of Heavenly Mountain Pavilion couldn’t help but glance at him.

When Su Han came to a complete stop, one of the middle-aged men sitting cross-legged raised his head and said, ”Do you need something?”

Su Han pursed his lips, flipped his palm, and took out a token.

”This token was given to me by an old acquaintance, who said that after entering the Lower-Class Star Region, I could seek out Elder Qin Daoyu of the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion. I hope, senior, you can take a look.”

With those words, Su Han handed the token over.

After receiving and glancing at it, the middle-aged man said, ”This is indeed Elder Qin Daoyu’s token. Though Qin Daoyu has passed away, due to his contributions to our Heavenly Mountain Pavilion during his lifetime, you may stay for now.”

”Passed away?”

Su Han’s lips trembled fiercely.

He had thought he might gain some benefits from knowing Qin Daoyu in the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion, not expecting that he would die before even meeting him...

”Yes, he’s been dead for tens of thousands of years already.” The middle-aged man said flatly.

Su Han was speechless and silently sat down next to the middle-aged man.

”Where are you sitting? Sit at the back.”

”Truly doesn’t know the rules, blocking our view, don’t you know?”

”Go to the back quickly!”

Unexpectedly, as soon as Su Han sat down, people at the back of the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion voiced their dissatisfaction.

When Su Han turned around, he saw a young man with a hooked nose saying, ”What are you looking at? I’m talking about you! Don’t you know the rules? You just came from an abandoned planet and are sitting in front of us? You haven’t even joined the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion yet, and even if you do, you should call us senior brothers, understood?”

Su Han frowned secretly, glanced at the middle-aged man, only to see that the latter was still resting with his eyes closed, apparently having heard nothing.

Reluctantly, Su Han had to stand up and move to the back.

In his heart, he cursed the ancestors of Qin Daoyu, thinking things would go smoother with him, not expecting that guy to be long gone.

”Hmph, that’s more like it.” Seeing Su Han walk to the very back, the hooked-nosed young man snorted coldly.

This man’s aura wasn’t much different from Su Han’s, but since Su Han had just arrived, he naturally couldn’t conflict with him.

At the very back of the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion, two people, a man and a woman, were also sitting cross-legged.

The man had sword-like brows and starry eyes, handsome appearance, while the woman exuded competence and had a slender figure. Although not particularly beautiful, she wasn’t unattractive either.

As Su Han was about to pass by the two, the woman suddenly spoke, ”You can sit here.”

He had originally intended to sit behind them, but upon hearing this, he pondered briefly and then sat down.

”Thank you, Senior Sister.” Su Han said.

The woman remained indifferent and didn’t say anything further.

The handsome man beside her smiled at Su Han and asked, ”Junior Brother, what is your name?”

”Su Han,” Su Han replied with a smile.

”I’m Chen Fan, an Outer Disciple of Heavenly Mountain Pavilion.” The handsome man introduced himself.

”Greetings, Senior Brother.” Su Han started to stand and bow.

”No need to be so courteous.”

Chen Fan held him back and added, ”This is your Senior Sister, also an Outer Disciple named Fang Qing. Though she may seem a bit cold, she’s a good person.”

”Greetings, Senior Sister.” Su Han said.

”Mm.”

The woman just nodded slightly without another word.

Su Han couldn’t help but smile wryly, confirming what Chen Fan had said about her cold demeanor.

However, judging by the fact that Fang Qing asked him to sit there, her heart was not as cold as it appeared.

”Hey, you’re the first to join Heavenly Mountain Pavilion in a year.”

Chen Fan chatted with Su Han, ”Let me tell you, here, you must gather at least a thousand disciples before returning to Heavenly Mountain Pavilion, so don’t worry, just wait here.”

”May I ask, Senior Brother, how long does it usually take to gather ten disciples?” Su Han asked.

”It varies; sometimes it takes just a day, other times a year, or even longer,” Chen Fan replied.

”I see...” Su Han nodded.

”Why are you asking that?”

Just then, the hooked-nosed man turned again, with a mocking look, ”Even if you sit here now, you’re not a true disciple of the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion. At best, they might accept you as a registered disciple. Once you return to Heavenly Mountain Pavilion, you’ll still face assessments. If your aptitude isn’t up to par, better get lost sooner rather than later!”

Su Han frowned slightly, remaining silent.

Chen Fan, however, addressed the hooked-nosed man, ”Mu Lie, can you say less? Cultivators should have perseverance, but it is built on self-confidence. By undermining Junior Brother Su’s confidence, how will he cultivate in the future?”

”What does his cultivation have to do with me?”

Mu Lie snorted coldly, ”I’m just teaching him how things should be.”

Chen Fan’s expression turned slightly unpleasant, and he conveyed via sound to Su Han, ”That guy is Mu Lie, also an Outer Disciple of Heavenly Mountain Pavilion, but he has a brother among the Inner Disciples ranked quite high. Relying on his brother, Mu Lie has been very arrogant among the Outer Disciples, speaking without reservation and offending many.”

”Senior Brother Chen, it’s fine.” Su Han smiled.

It was obvious that someone like Mu Lie was just like Nan Qing from the One Slash Palace, relying on his brother Nan Hong to act domineering and arrogant to the extreme.

After chatting with Chen Fan for a while, they both fell into silence.

Su Han’s eyes were observing the area not out of curiosity, but to pay attention to the distribution of powers here.

...

As time flew by, a month quickly passed.

Behind Su Han were over a hundred people, all of whom ascended from abandoned planets and joined the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion.

Sitting beside the hooked-nosed Mu Lie was also another person.

This person was a middle-aged man with a terrifying scar on his face, which looked gruesome.

He clearly knew Mu Lie and came straight to the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion, and under Mu Lie’s greeting, he sat beside him.

During their conversation and laughter, with unknown words exchanged, the scarred man looked towards Su Han with a mocking smile on his lips.

Seeing his expression, Su Han was completely speechless.

What had he done to deserve this?

Indeed, the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds.

Su Han remembered that in his past life, he hadn’t met so many brainless people!

Why does it remain the same after being reborn, one after another, both on the Dragon Martial Continent and now in the starry sky?

”Boom!”

Just as Su Han was thinking this, from a distant, dazzling planet came a sudden explosion.
