Chapter 1415: Chapter 1414: Disappointed

Leng Qing created a talisman once more, and this time the process was very brief. He placed the new talismanic water on the table and said, "The Pride, pass your blood in."

Jing Changle complied, and as soon as he saw the blood entering the talismanic water, it instantly exploded. Although the explosion was abrupt, it didn’t give a domineering impression; instead, it was gentle.

Seeing this, Leng Qing furrowed his brows slightly.

Sun Zhancheng noticed and asked, "Elder Leng, how is it?"

Leng Qing looked at the shape of the blood in the cup, shook his head, lifted his eyes to glance at Jing Changle, and said, "Although there’s hope for healing, it’s not very optimistic."

Sun Zhancheng immediately stated, "No matter what it takes, we must heal the Pride."

He knew that whenever Leng Qing spoke this way, the chances were slim. Even if there was hope, it would likely take years, possibly even a decade or more. Otherwise, he wouldn’t say such things.

So he was confident in his statement. A few years or a decade later, his excellent descendants would already be adults. By then, the so-called Pride might not even be an ornament.

The test results were already out. Although the return of the Peng Pavilion Pride brought joy to some and sadness to others, the once supremely gifted Pride had now ended up in such a state.

If it were any ordinary disciple, the level of Jing Changle would still be considered exceptionally outstanding even in today’s age filled with geniuses.

But he was the Pride, having been expected by many since birth over a decade ago, and now returning, is still anticipated by many.

The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

This was the situation Jing Changle faced now.

He was originally supposed to be at the same level as Nie Kaihuan and Hou Baiyu—geniuses of their time. He should have been the proof of the Pengge Sect reaching a new height and also the spiritual pillar of the disciples below. Now, however, he was only at the level of an outstanding disciple.

How could that not lead to disappointment?

The Liu Tiejun faction, which hadn’t spoken throughout, was the first to leave without saying a word, having already wasted much of their time coming here.

Next was the Sun Faction, and Leng Qing soon left as well, leaving only the crestfallen Jing Changle and the Gong Family siblings in the hall.

Sun Zhancheng sighed, "Pride, don’t lose hope. Didn’t Elder Leng say there’s still hope? The entire Pengge Sect will do its utmost to heal you. Just wait patiently."

Jing Changle forced a faint smile, "Thank you, Family Head, for the reassurance."

Sun Zhancheng gently patted his shoulder, "You’ll stay in the villa with Elder Gong. After the exchange conference is over, return with us. We’ll arrange accommodation for you."

After he spoke, the Gong Family siblings stood up and called Jing Changle to leave with them.

This was Sun Zhancheng’s residence.

Going to the Gong Family siblings’ villa, the siblings dismissed the servants and saw Jing Changle return to his previously gentle, modest, and unperturbed demeanor.

Gong Yunfei smiled at this, "Well, it seems that staying with Little Rui, that little trickster, you’ve really honed your acting skills. You two must have tricked Sitiang quite a lot in the past."

Jing Changle pressed his lips; the blame could be placed on Luo Yirui, but past actions couldn’t be revealed to Aunt Bei. After all, he had a very good image in Aunt Bei’s mind.

Gong Yunfei laughed and then whispered, "You don’t even know how scared I was earlier. How could you stay so calm?"

Jing Changle slightly curved his lips, "Aunt Bei had foreseen all of this, and we’ve even rehearsed it once."
