The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 4 Who's the Fool?
As Jiang Man walked past, he saw a young man looking anxiously at the spirit horse lying on the ground, completely at a loss.

The stables not only housed horses, but also other people's mounts.

However, Jiang Man only needs to let the horses of Qingyun Pavilion roam freely.

The other spirit steeds only occasionally help look after things.

The man who called out to him was a fellow cultivator in the same courtyard, whose name Jiang Man remembered was Fang Yong.

And lying at his feet was an expensive Flame Steed.

Its entire body is dark red, and its four hooves are wrapped in blue cold flames. It is said that it leaves flaming hoofprints when it runs, and after being tamed, it will not burn objects.

This magnificent steed is something only the wealthy can possess.

However, at this moment, the Flame Steed was lying on the ground, twitching weakly.

The blue flames wrapped around the four hooves were also gradually dimming.

It seems the situation is not good.

Fang Yong, seeing Jiang Man approaching, seemed to have grasped at a straw.

He immediately stepped back, raised his hand and accused, "Jiang Man, what did you do to the Flame-Treading Steed? Why is it so weak?"

Jiang Man stood there, looking at the person in front of him, somewhat surprised.

Are we in trouble?

After a brief recollection, Jiang Man remembered that Fang Yong should come from a relatively wealthy family.

They often talk about how great their family is, how abundant their cultivation resources are, and who their friends are, etc.

How can you distort the truth like this?
Is the noise so loud because someone is nearby?

Sure enough, a group of four people came rushing from a distance.

Upon seeing the person, Fang Yong raised his voice again and said, "Jiang Man, I only asked you to look after Lingju because we are fellow cultivators from the same academy."

I never expected that a secret attack would leave the Flame Steed so weak.

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of four people arrived.

The leader was a tall, handsome man with well-defined features.

The three people standing beside him made him realize he was a step behind.

As they approached, Fang Yong turned to the man in the lead and said, "Young Master Cheng, please excuse my rudeness. My fellow disciple has caused Lingju some problems."

Cheng Moyang looked at Jiang Man with considerable surprise and asked, "Did you do this to my Flame-Treading Steed?"

Jiang Man looked at the other person and shook her head slightly: "No."

“It seems he’s afraid of taking responsibility and doesn’t dare to admit it,” Fang Yong said immediately. “He comes from a remote village and can’t even afford the repair money next month. If he admits it, he probably couldn’t afford to pay for it even if he sold his property.”

Cheng Moyang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Jiang Man with a smile, "Is that so? Then let's just forget about it. Maybe he ate something wrong, don't you think, Young Master Fang?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yong was overjoyed, then said to Jiang Man with a tone of disappointment, "Why don't you thank Young Master Cheng?"

“No need. Everyone has tough times. Today, Young Master Fang rode out the Flame Steed, so he should be responsible for taking it back,” Cheng Moyang said to Fang Yong.

Fang Yong immediately nodded, saying he would definitely send the spirit horse back.

After that, Cheng Moyang left with his men.

He paused for a moment, as if remembering something, and asked the person next to him, "By the way, what day is it today?"

“Mid-August,” a short man nearby answered.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Moyang suddenly realized and said, "It must be that the Flame Steed is in a period of weakness, which happens twice a year."

He paused for a moment, then looked at Fang Yong and asked, "Didn't Young Master Fang say that you also have a spirit steed at home? Hasn't it ever experienced a period of weakness?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yong was taken aback and said, "I wasn't there when you were weak; the servants were the ones taking care of you."

Cheng Moyang nodded: "That makes sense."

After that, he didn't say anything more, but left with his people.

On the way out, the short man beside Cheng Moyang asked curiously, "Why doesn't Young Master Cheng take the opportunity to make the stable boy compensate you?"

Cheng Moyang glanced at the person next to him and said with a smile, "Didn't you hear Fang Yong say that he can't even afford to pay for the repair? If we make someone like that pay compensation, what if he takes a risk and does something else?"

Even if he can't attack us, what if he attacks Lingju?
Is his life worth more than a fright from a spirit horse?

He paused for a moment, then said calmly, "He's just a country bumpkin; he wouldn't even qualify as a human being if he were released."

We're too close to him; there's no need to push him to the brink.

I got my hands dirty.

Besides, this time it was just to tease Fang Yong.

Isn't it more amusing to see him fighting like a dog with his neighbors?

The short man immediately realized and said, "Yes, if anyone should be making a move, it should be someone else. There's no need for Young Master Cheng to be resented."

After that, simply tell Fang Yong that the so-called period of weakness was fake, done to save his face. Then, treat him coldly and don't take him out with you.

He would probably blame the stable boy.

They felt that as long as the stable boy admitted his mistake, he could continue to follow us and be admired by others.

Upon hearing this, everyone laughed.

Thus, the feud between Fang Yong and the stable boy began.

They blamed each other and turned on one another.

And they won't be blamed.

At this moment, at the edge of the stable, Jiang Man looked at Fang Yong.

It seemed like they understood something.

Fang Yong seemed to be from a different group than them.

“You’re lucky this time. If I weren’t familiar with them, you would have been kicked out overnight,” Fang Yong said.

Then they tried to find a way to leave with the spirit horse.

Jiang Man watched the other person leave without saying a word.

Only after they had completely left did a question arise:
"Am I the fool, or is he the fool?"

"They're all fools." The old ox walked over and said, "You should start cultivating, otherwise you won't be able to finish it after a hundred repetitions."

"Senior, you should worry more about yourself. That fairy's revenge could come at any time," Jiang Man kindly reminded him.

The old ox didn't mind, and said, "The Flame Steed does have a period of weakness, but a person who really knows how to raise it will not let it have a period of weakness."

"Senior, do you know how?"

"Yes."

Jiang Man was somewhat surprised: "How do you raise it?"

"You should worry about yourself first. If you don't finish it a hundred times, you'll lose all your cultivation." After saying that, the old ox turned around and went to eat grass.

Jiang Man: "."

I have not yet attained any level of cultivation.

Thinking about this, Jiang Man was quite curious: would there be no effect as long as he didn't cultivate?
But he didn't dare to try.

After all, there was still a wisp of purple energy from the cultivation technique.

If the fate of the practitioner were to backfire, this wisp of purple energy from the cultivation technique would be consumed.

That.
Not worth the candle.

Although the purpose of this wisp of energy is unknown, it doesn't seem simple at all.

After checking the time, Jiang Man headed towards the front courtyard.

That's where the teacher teaches.

Qingyun Pavilion has three courtyards: front, middle, and rear, corresponding to the first, second, and third years of service in the pavilion, respectively.

Jiang Man has been in Qingyun Pavilion for three years now, and is currently in the backyard.

There are seven small courtyards in the backyard, and Jiang Man lives in the sixth courtyard.

The instructor was a middle-aged man named Zhao Leming.

Unfortunately, Jiang Man encountered this gentleman on his way to the Sixth Hospital.

Upon meeting, the other party bluntly stated, "You have fifteen days left. If you cannot make up the repair costs in time, you can pack your things ahead of schedule."

Jiang Man pondered for a moment, recalling what had happened that morning. Perhaps he could stay without paying. After a slight hesitation, he tentatively asked, "Mr. Zhao, do you know about the Flame-Treading Spirit Steed?"
