[1-200] MY SWORD INTENT CAN BE INFINITELY IMPROVED

Chapter 78: Sharpening the Sword, Waiting for the Storm

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

In the hall, everyone couldn’t help but suppress their laughter.

Zhang Yan showed no signs of concern, still complimenting and handing over a thousand silver tickets.

“Don’t worry, Sword Immortal Su, our Fire Sword Sect will lead by example. This is my compensation, and from now on, I will strictly require our disciples to behave well and prioritize virtue before martial skills. It will be the first rule in our sect’s regulations.”

One must admit that Zhang Yan is truly astute. Su Yang specifically called him out, and if he mishandled the situation, he would become a laughingstock. But not only did he handle it well, he did it splendidly.

He understood the situation and knew that Su Yang needed much more than just this little compensation. It was about the attitude and setting future rules.

Zhang Yan’s performance surprised even Su Yang.

“Yes, Sect Leader Zhang set a great example,” Su Yang nodded in approval. Seeing this, the others wasted no time and asked if their disciples had made any mistakes and if they needed compensation.

Those who needed it were promptly paid, while those who didn’t also expressed their commitment to restrain their disciples.

At the same time, many other martial cultivators were not present in the hall. Those who attended the banquet in the outer courtyard were directly approached by the sect leaders for money.

No one could have imagined that these sect masters, one day, would personally come forward for just a few hundred or a few dozen silver.

Soon, most of the silver would be returned.

There were still some cases involving martial cultivators who were not in attendance. Their identities were not sufficient to be included in the banquet. They could only wait for the matter to be dealt with later.

But Zhang Yan stepped forward again, expressing that he would advance the silver for them. He would personally approach these individuals and instruct them on how to be qualified martial cultivators and demand compensation.

Su Yang could only admire Zhang Yan more and more.

A truly talented person, undoubtedly a talented person.

Su Yang made a mental note of this person. If he needed someone in the future, he would definitely consider him.

At that moment, Su Yang showered continuous praises upon Zhang Yan.

Just a few words of praise from Su Yang made many sect masters present envy him.

They understood that Su Yang had taken notice of Zhang Yan.

However, they couldn’t do anything about it; they just couldn’t flatter others like Zhang Yan did.

After a delightful banquet, the event concluded on a successful note.

With the silver they received, Su Yang gave the surplus to the martial soldiers who had organized the event. The remaining amount was returned to the affected commoners, as the compensation was doubled.

Yet, later on, one tavern owner felt puzzled. He had suffered a loss of fifty silver, but the compensation he received was a hundred silver.

The actions of Su Yang during this banquet would quickly spread throughout Tianfeng Prefecture.

At the same time, Yi Tianba had already reported Su Yang’s achievements to the higher authorities. However, it would take some time before the emperor could review the report. Messages sent up the ranks were not read immediately unless the matter was extremely urgent.
