Although Duan Ye was not a member of his Tang Clan, he was still a disciple of the Tang Sect, and his status was not simple, as he was a disciple of an elder.
For an elder's disciple to be killed while traveling was simply unacceptable.
This was simply not taking his Tang Sect seriously.
Tang Fan said, "It was Xu Fengqiu. This disciple was incompetent and failed to save Junior Brother Duan Ye."
"Xu Fengqiu?"
Hearing this, the fire in the hearts of the Tang Sect's experts was immediately extinguished quite a bit.
They exchanged glances, their eyes full of surprise and incomprehension.
"Xu Fengqiu came here this time to discuss important matters with our Tang Sect, and our Tang Sect has no grievances with Xu Fengqiu. Why would he kill Duan Ye? There must be a reason. Tang Fan, tell us what happened."
"Let me tell it," Ning Xi said.
"Ning Xi, you tell us."
Ning Xi then explained the whole story.
"Tang Fan, are you at fault?"
Tang Jingyu slammed the table and looked at Tang Fan.
Tang Fan said, "This disciple knows his mistake. This disciple was concerned about Senior Sister Ning and acted impulsively, so… Alas, whatever this disciple says are excuses. I am willing to accept punishment."
"Although you were protecting the Holy Maiden of our Tang Sect, you recklessly caused such a great mess without distinguishing right from wrong. Su Feipeng is the young master of the Su family of Tianhui City. The Su family is not to be trifled with. Do you really think that a twenty-three-year-old Immortal Emperor can do whatever he wants?"
"Yes, this disciple knows his mistake,"
Tang Fan said.
"Someone, take Tang Fan to the Cliff of Reflection to contemplate his mistakes."
"Yes!"
Ning Xi then said, "This disciple is also at fault. This matter was caused by this disciple, and this disciple was unable to stop Xu Fengqiu when he attacked."
"Although you are in the same realm as Xu Fengqiu, this sect master has personally witnessed Xu Fengqiu's strength. Even if you had attacked, you might not have been able to stop him."
Tang Jingyu said, "In this matter, you are both at fault, and Xu Fengqiu is also at fault. Knowing that he was a disciple of our Tang Sect, he still dealt a deadly blow. It would have been fine if he had only severed an arm, but Duan Ye's disrespectful words towards Xu Fengqiu were also his own problem. Xu Fengqiu's actions, without considering the reputation of our Tang Sect, are not a problem either."
"But, this is indeed Xu Fengqiu's style," a Tang Sect elder said.
Tang Jingyu rubbed his temples: "Yes, the root cause of everything is Tang Fan's arrogance. Ning Xi, you may withdraw first."
"Yes."
Ning Xi walked away.
"Everyone, what do you think of this matter?" Tang Jingyu asked.
"Xu Fengqiu is a bit disrespectful to our Tang Sect," a strong man said.
"This Tang Fan has been patient for so many years. He should have a stable mind, but how could he act so recklessly after becoming famous? What about his brain?"
"A beauty brings disaster, Great Elder. Don't you understand this principle yet?"
"Carefully consider Tang Fan's actions. In fact, there is no big problem. Ask yourself, although Duan Ye was disrespectful first, a normal person would not stop his close junior brother, but the problem is that he was a little too extreme. Su Feipeng teased Ning Xi, and he directly dealt a deadly blow."
"…"
They discussed animatedly.
Tang Jingyu said, "This matter can be big or small. In some ways, Xu Fengqiu's appearance has actually helped our Tang Sect. If he hadn't appeared, it is likely that Su Shaopeng would not have just had an arm severed by Tang Fan."
"Well, that makes sense. According to the situation at the time, Tang Fan had already declared his intention to kill him, so he would definitely have attacked to kill. Unless Ning Xi stopped him, and there was a high probability that Ning Xi would stop him, but what if?"
Tang Jingyu: "Great Elder, take people to the Su family. This matter still needs to be resolved with a minor solution."
"What if the Su family wants us to hand over Tang Fan?"
"That is absolutely impossible. Let's go and negotiate terms first. They are all smart people and don't want to make things worse."
"Okay, good."
…
On the other side.
Tang Fan was on the Cliff of Reflection.
"Xu Fengqiu…"
His expression was solemn, but there wasn't much anger.
Of course, he was angry.
However, after carefully reviewing the situation.
Tang Fan felt that he had acted impulsively.
He could argue with Su Feipeng about this matter, but he really didn't need to directly sever his arm, or even kill him.
Mainly because he teased Ning Xi, Tang Fan was particularly angry.
"It's my fault, it's my fault."
Tang Fan sighed.
"Duan Ye's death is also my problem. Although he himself also had a problem, if I hadn't made this matter so big, there would be no follow-up."
Ka Ka Ka — —
Tang Fan clenched his fists.
"Xu Fengqiu, you can teach me a lesson, you can make me, Tang Fan, lose face, but it's your problem that you killed my brother!"
"Duan Ye, I have known him since I was a child. When everyone else looked down on me, Tang Fan, only Duan Ye played with me and cared about me. He is my only brother! But you killed him."
"Duan Ye, don't worry, you didn't call me Brother Fan for nothing. I will definitely get justice for you, or even… kill Xu Fengqiu to avenge you!"
Huff — —
Tang Fan took a breath.
"Xu Fengqiu, the contest between us has just begun. Although my father told me not to provoke you before my wings are fully grown, this time, you provoked me yourself."
"If I, Tang Fan, don't avenge my brother, am I still human?"
"So, don't blame me."
Ka Ka Ka — —
…
On the other side.
Ning Xi returned to her courtyard and sat there in a daze.
She didn't expect such a thing to happen today.
She was in a very complicated mood now.
Tang Fan was someone she had watched grow up since she was a child.
Although they didn't spend much time together, she cared about this younger brother.
To be honest, she was somewhat dissatisfied with Tang Fan's performance today.
To be honest, Ning Xi was quite touched because Tang Fan was doing it for her.
But…
Ning Xi also knew that it was indeed Duan Ye who had first spoken disrespectfully to Su Feipeng's female companion, and said even dirtier things.
Tang Fan could stand up for her, but the way he stood up for her was really too extreme.
This was a complicated point for her.
The second point was her self-blame.
She should have had a chance to save Junior Brother Duan Ye's life.
Her fellow disciple died right under her nose, and she was really ashamed.
Regardless of right or wrong, as a disciple of the Tang Sect, she should have first protected her fellow disciple, and then let others decide what to do next.
But she didn't do it.
It wasn't that she didn't want to, it was just that Xu Fengqiu's strength really exceeded her imagination.
Moreover, Ning Xi really didn't expect Xu Fengqiu to deal a deadly blow directly.
But Xu Fengqiu and Tang Fan were different.
Tang Fan was because someone else was going to deal a deadly blow.
Xu Fengqiu was because Duan Ye had disrespected him.
The third complicated point was that she didn't expect her first meeting with Xu Fengqiu to be like this.
She couldn't really tell what kind of person Xu Fengqiu was.
Chaos.
Ning Xi shook her head slightly.
Forget it.
She didn't want to think about these things anymore.
