Kuang Qian didn't want to stay and be a monkey, so he followed Qing'er out of the restaurant. As soon as they left, the restaurant burst into laughter.
"How could that young lady from the Nie family have thought of asking the deceased old man of the Kuang family to appear in her dream? She's truly a genius."
"Absolutely! Only she would do something like that."
...
Amidst the cacophony of voices, Fang Ruotang still couldn't make sense of the whole story.
What's going on with this couple? The man doesn't seem like a heartless person! After all, body language doesn't lie.
About a month ago, the Free and Unfettered Sect came here to recruit people. Nie Qing's spiritual root was tested and she was accepted into the sect. She will be going to the Free and Unfettered Sect to study at the end of the month. However, Kuang Qian, who was tested with her, did not have a spiritual root and did not even have the opportunity to be a menial disciple.
No wonder so many people know about their story and are watching with amusement.
After embarking on the path of cultivation, their fates diverged. Nie Qing couldn't bear to break off the relationship, so Kuang Qian took the initiative to play the villain, begging She Zhi for help to pretend to fall in love with someone else, not wanting to delay his fiancée's life.
Fang Ruotang was a little surprised.
They were a great couple, what happened to them afterwards?
[It wasn't a matter of life and death. True lovers never separate. In the end, they were still together. Nie Qing diligently cultivated and also found some longevity-promoting elixirs for Kuang Qian to take. She stayed with him for over a hundred years until his death, and her life was not in vain. She did not betray the innocent friendship they shared since childhood.]
【fine! 】
Fang Ruotang knew that the two had a happy ending, and felt that watching the show was worthwhile.
As the spiritual food was served, she casually told everyone present about the two characters' fates, since it would be very upsetting to watch a play halfway through without knowing the ending.
After finishing their meal, the group of people wandered around the streets.
I received a message from Du Zhong.
"Sect Master, Patriarch Su has a deal he'd like to discuss with you. It concerns the Su family patriarch's attempt to break through to the Mahayana stage. Do you think you're interested? We're currently at the Su family's residence. If you're interested, we'll wait for you here. If not, we'll head back to the inn."
"It won't be cheap for me to make the sale. Did you tell him that?"
"I told you, I told you, I understand."
Du Zhong's voice was full of laughter; this lamb that had come to his doorstep was definitely going to be slaughtered.
"Wait a minute, let me calculate."
[So, what was the Su family patriarch's past conduct like? Does he deserve to advance to the Great Ascension stage?]
[It's hard to say. Anyway, I've done my fair share of murder and robbery. In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with it. I just don't know if you think there's anything wrong with it. You decide for yourself.]
I dare not make arbitrary judgments about this matter.
It must be said that his brainwashing of Fang Ruotang was not very successful in this regard. In any case, Fang Ruotang has not yet fully accepted the jungle law of the cultivation world.
The past experiences of the Su family patriarch flashed before Fang Ruotang's eyes like a fleeting glimpse. She couldn't help but frown, somewhat understanding why the little mirror had made her look at it herself.
The Su family patriarch didn't go astray, nor was he an evil cultivator, but he killed a lot of people! Anyone who had a conflict with him was killed by him.
To venture into a secret realm, one must kill at least eight or ten people. There have even been instances where someone was followed on the street, stabbed, and robbed of their treasure.
For the patriarch of the Su family, any treasure he saw was an opportunity for him. He didn't care whether the treasure had an owner or not; from the moment he saw it, he could fight for it.
Their methods were so thuggish that Fang Ruotang didn't know how to evaluate them.
Weakness is the original sin.
This statement is perfectly exemplified in the case of the person who was robbed and killed by Old Ancestor Su.
"Let's go back to the inn! I'm not taking this order." After reading it, Fang Ruotang hesitated for a long time, but still refused. As a native of Yong, she couldn't accept this way of doing things at the moment.
This is true in the Cloud Deep Continent, but she doesn't want to personally promote such a ruthless character, otherwise, wouldn't even more people die at his hands in the future?
Were those indirectly harmed by her as well?
Fang Ruotang doesn't want to get involved in this kind of karma.
Anyway, the Cloud Deep Continent is densely populated, and for thousands of years there hasn't been a single cultivator who has broken through to the Mahayana stage. There are plenty of old monsters who suppress their cultivation and wait for an opportunity.
She doesn't need the income from this deal.
"Hey, Sect Master, why? The Su family has brought out quite a few good things, and I'm quite interested in them. Do you want to reconsider?"
"Let's come back first and then talk about it."
"OK!"
Du Zhong didn't understand, so he told the Su family head, and the three of them returned to the inn. When they returned, Fang Ruotang had already come back.
When discussing the deal, Fang Ruotang used the recording stone to show some of Old Ancestor Su's murders and treasure robberies, and explained the reasons for her refusal.
Du Zhong, Yan Yun, and Murong all looked bewildered for a moment, not quite understanding the connection between them.
"...This is like a child carrying a gold brick through a bustling market; isn't it his own fault if he gets robbed?" Old Ancestor Yan Yun asked, puzzled.
When you don't have the strength, you shouldn't bring out those coveted rare and precious materials. Bringing them out is just telling others, "Come and snatch them!"
Fang Ruotang shrugged. "Yeah! He did nothing wrong, but if I don't help him, it's because he doesn't have the opportunity. What's the problem?"
"No!"
Du Zhong and the other two shook their heads in unison.
The matter was not discussed further.
"Let's go straight to the Cloud Sword Sect! That way we can avoid the situation where the Cloud Sword Sect and Medicine King Valley are like this, where the disciples of the sect don't agree to merge into our Heavenly One Sect. It'll be easier to resolve this matter sooner and have unified management."
Du Zhong looked at Fang Ruotang with a surprised expression.
I knew she could deduce things, but I didn't expect her to be this good. She even knew perfectly well that other elders in the valley were against it.
“I have already resolved it. The sect leader can send someone to Medicine King Valley to make contact.”
"How was it resolved?"
Fang Ruotang asked casually, and Du Zhong looked away guiltily.
As for how to resolve this, he naturally agreed to their request: no matter what favors he received from Fang Ruotang in the future, he would have to serve them first, and only after they had finished choosing would it be his turn.
If it weren't for his eloquence, he would have lost his place traveling with Fang Ruotang. Fortunately, he managed to keep it.
The rest is easy to deal with, since he can just pay lip service to it.
"My Cloud Sword Sect certainly doesn't have these problems. After all, I founded the sect myself. What I want to do is just a matter of a word! Besides, I'm now in the Great Ascension stage. Who dares to object?" Ancestor Yan Yun raised his chin slightly, with an arrogant expression.
Fang Ruotang kindly reminded her, "Then you should prepare in advance, after all... your sect is rife with corruption, and there have been cases of disciples having their spiritual roots dug out and their golden cores removed."
Old Ancestor Yan Yun's expression froze, but he stubbornly insisted, "That's impossible! The one you're talking about is definitely an isolated case; there won't be any more."
Fang Ruotang glanced at Ancestor Yan Yun.
I won't call him out on his lack of confidence.
"I have informed Ancestor Qi Yu. With you two Mahayana cultivators in charge, even if there are demons and monsters, they shouldn't be able to cause any trouble."
"No need for that, I'm all you need!"
Old Ancestor Yan Yun felt uncertain after hearing this, so he urged the group to set off. By the time the Su family arrived, the inn was already deserted.
