As the organizer of this martial arts conference, the Qingjian Sect is naturally a local tyrant in Guiyang. It is easy for them to find out where Fang Zheng lives. So after learning the inn where Fang Zheng lives, the white-shirted warrior went there and knocked on the door of the guest room.
"What are you doing here?"
Looking at the white-shirted warrior in front of him, Fang Zheng was obviously a little confused. He didn't think that the other party was looking for trouble with him, nor did he think that he was coming to settle a score after the event - well, this was very interesting.
"Mr. Fang, my master invites you to attend the Bamboo Forest Lake Conference..."
"Your master?"
Hearing the words of the white-shirted warrior, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows.
Could it be just like in martial arts novels, where the younger one suffers a loss and the older one comes to seek revenge?
"Mr. Fang, you misunderstood."
Seeing Fang Zheng's expression, the warrior in white was startled and waved his hands hurriedly.
"We are not here to bring bad luck to you. In fact, my master is Li Tianming, the head of the Qingjian Sect. You should also know that we will hold a martial arts conference here in the near future. The Bamboo Forest Lake Conference is a gathering where my master invites all the young and promising heroes to gather together to discuss martial arts matters..."
"Oh, I see..."
After listening to the white-shirted warrior's explanation, Fang Zheng nodded. He took the invitation and frowned slightly.
"Did Hero Li invite me? I don't think he and I have any relationship."
"This is actually Miss Fan..."
"Miss Fan?"
"Miss Fan is a guest who has come to visit Master recently. Of course, she herself is not well-known in the martial arts world..."
The white-shirted warrior briefly explained the situation, and Fang Zheng immediately understood.
"Oh... I see. That means that Miss Fan is the Fairy Protector of the Jade Wall that has been rumored recently."
"There are indeed rumors out there, but I don't know the truth."
"All right."
Seeing that the white-shirted warrior in front of him couldn't say anything, Fang Zheng nodded.
"Then please tell Mr. Li that Fang will be there."
Although the white-shirted warrior only said that this was a gathering where the elders invited the younger generation to chat, Fang Zheng had obviously guessed what the other party was up to. He simply wanted to use this opportunity to brainwash some well-known young heroes in the martial arts world. After all, being young and promising does not mean having rich experience. Generally speaking, those who are called young heroes are all young and inexperienced. They have not yet formed their own values and are very easy to be misled.
As for coming to myself, it was mostly because I had a bad reputation. With the virtues of Buddhism, if I could convince this "big villain" to mend his ways and turn over a new leaf, then my influence would naturally be even greater.
Hehe, the little girl has a good idea, but unfortunately you have chosen the wrong target.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng looked at the invitation in his hand and smiled slightly.
Since you want to use me to establish your authority, don't blame me for putting up a bitch image for you.
Three days later, Fang Zheng arrived at the Bamboo Forest Lake Club as scheduled. As the name suggests, this banquet was held in a courtyard between a bamboo forest and a lake, which gave it a leisurely and relaxed atmosphere. However, what made Fang Zheng laugh and cry was that the white-shirted warrior who brought him here introduced that the Bamboo Forest Lake Club was built based on the Yahu Villa of the previous generation of talented woman Ji Yanran. It was said that the talented woman Ji invited guests from all over the world to discuss literature and martial arts, which was also a good story.
That's why my master would invite those promising young men to gather here in this way.
Fang Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. He really wanted to tell the other party that Ji Yanran was running If You Are the One at Yahu Cottage, so how come your master also wanted to turn on a light?
As Fang Zheng lived longer, he found these things that were distorted by history more and more interesting, like the First Emperor's magical skill - Qin Shihuang had never practiced any magical skill during his lifetime, and if he really had this ability, he would not have died suddenly during the parade. But the stories made up by later generations were exactly the same as the truth, and there were even rumors that Qin Shihuang relied on the First Emperor's magical skill to seize the world.
This made Fang Zheng laugh out loud.
By the way, after that, Fang Zheng also called the palace to ask about the He Shi Bi. After all, he didn't know whether he had that thing, so he asked people in the palace to check. After a long time of investigation, they reported that there was no He Shi Bi in the palace at all... Well, this is very interesting.
At this moment, led by the white-shirted warrior, Fang Zheng also came to the lobby of the Bamboo Forest Bureau and soon saw several other figures.
Judging from their age, they should have been invited to the banquet just like Fang Zheng.
Including Fang Zheng, there were four men and four women, sitting on the left and right sides, most of them were young. The oldest man looked to be around 25 or 26 years old, while the oldest woman was probably around 20.
This is really If You Are the One.
Fang Zheng complained silently, then sat on one of the chairs as arranged by the white-shirted warrior and nodded to everyone.
Facing Fang Zheng's greeting, the pretty boy on the male side did not respond but turned his head away without saying a word. The older one was obviously more experienced and smiled back at Fang Zheng. The last one, who looked like a rich second-generation young man from an aristocratic family, just nodded slightly, neither lightly nor heavily.
The four people on the women's side were very interesting. The yellow-dressed girl, who looked about 14 or 15 years old, had bright eyes and stared at Fang Zheng as if she had seen a rare animal. The slightly older girl next to her blushed and lowered her head without saying a word, looking shy as if she was meeting someone for a blind date.
The third seat was occupied by a heroic woman. She simply returned a salute to Fang Zheng, neither humble nor overbearing. She looked like a person of no character, and there was nothing much to say. On the contrary, the older woman at the end flirted with Fang Zheng with a bit of lust, which was quite bold.
Fang Zheng was no longer surprised by this. Basically, no matter where he went, women would always look like this when they saw him. There was nothing he could do. After all, he was naturally handsome and couldn't hide it.
So sometimes I hate myself for being so handsome and irresistible.
Fang Zheng sighed silently, then took a cup of tea and began to taste it.
Not long after, an old man and a young woman came over. The old man sat on the main seat and bowed slightly to everyone, and the others hurriedly stood up to return the greeting.
"Haha, I am very pleased to see all of you here today. It seems that there are always talented people in our martial arts world. Hmm... I am afraid you are not familiar with them yet, so let me introduce them to you first."
As he spoke, Li Tianming introduced the people in front of him. As expected, most of them were disciples from famous and upright sects. On the male side, except for Fang Zheng and the ignoring rich second-generation pretty boy, the remaining two were from the Baishui Gang and the Taishan Sect. On the female side, except for the last enchanting beauty, the other three were from the Baihua Palace, the Emei Sect, and the Five Elements Sect.
Fang Zheng knew a little about Baihua Palace. They were originally a female tribe of southern barbarians, a bit like the Bai Miao in the Legend of Sword and Fairy. Later, this tribe traded with the Han Dynasty. In order to prevent bandits, the women of that tribe formed an organization to protect their caravan. Over time, they simply registered a sect called Baihua Palace in the Han Dynasty. Because it was a very rare foreign sect, even Fang Zheng had heard of it in the court.
Therefore, Fang Zheng had some favorable impressions of the little girl in yellow from Baihua Palace. She reminded him of Anu whom he met in the Fairy Sword World, who was also a lively and lovely little girl.
But unfortunately, Fang Zheng’s target for attending the banquet this time was not her.
It was the woman sitting on it.
"My humble self, Fan Qinghui, greets all of you young heroes."
At this moment, the woman also stood up and bowed to everyone. It must be said that she still had some temperament. When seeing Fan Qinghui, the young men on Fang Zheng's side also showed some fascination. Only Fang Zheng was still staring at her with a half-smile, waiting for her to speak next.
As expected, Fan Qinghui immediately acted as if she had heard of the young heroes for a long time and mentioned their famous battles one by one. This flattery made both sides very happy. Although I don't know who this woman is, it's pleasing to see her say these things.
But Fang Zheng knew that these were just appetizers.
Sure enough, when Fan Qinghui turned to Fang Zheng, she immediately smiled.
"Qinghui has heard of the name of the Jade-faced Young Master Fang for a long time. Master Fang is a chivalrous man who fights for justice and eliminates evil. He is a role model for our generation. However... Qinghui has one thing that is unclear. Please enlighten me, Master Fang."
Here it comes.
Hearing Fan Qinghui's words, Fang Zheng laughed inwardly. Then he lowered his head and drank a sip of tea before looking at Fan Qinghui.
"Miss Fan, please tell me what you want to say."
"Then Qing Hui is being rude."
Having said this, Fan Qinghui also sat up straight and looked at Fang Zheng.
"As everyone knows, Master Fang was extremely cruel to those evildoers, making them unable to live or die. It is true that evildoers must be stopped, but shouldn't everything have a limit? The evildoers are indeed evil, but they are also lives. It is too much to humiliate them so wantonly."
Hehe, here it comes.
Hearing Fan Qinghui's words, Fang Zheng chuckled and put down the teacup in his hand. He could feel that everyone was looking at him at this moment. The pretty boy was obviously gloating, and most of the others were also staring at him with a bit of curiosity and complicated eyes.
However, Fang Zheng certainly doesn't care what these people think.
"Humiliation? Oh, so Miss Fan means that those who died at the hands of those people died in vain?"
"Of course not."
Fan Qinghui obviously anticipated Fang Zheng's rebuttal, but continued speaking calmly.
"Qing Hui naturally feels sorry for those who died at the hands of the evildoers, but when will revenge come..."
"Bang."
However, before Fan Qinghui could finish her words, she heard Fang Zheng slap the table coldly, interrupting her.
"Feeling sorry? Miss Fan, you feel sorry? Do you know what those guys did? Hmm?"
"This... Qinghui has certainly heard of this. These evil people have committed many evil deeds, but..."
"Yeah, you've heard about it."
Fang Zheng snorted coldly and stared at Fan Qinghui.
"Then let me tell you a little more details. Miss Hu from Nan County was kidnapped at the age of 28 by the Night Demon Zhang San. He took away her innocence and fed her strong poison for fun. He allowed her to be raped by bandits. In the end, he even used wolfhounds to persecute her inhumanely, causing Miss Hu to die on the spot. Her body was torn apart and devoured by wolfhounds, leaving no intact body. There was also the Zhaojia Village outside the Great Wall, which was plundered by the Thirteen Riders of the Desert. All the people in the village died, including women ranging from eighty-year-old ladies to one-year-old children, all of whom were pierced through the body by the Thirteen Riders of the Desert..."
Fang Zheng said this and stared at Fan Qinghui coldly.
"That's all. You just said you heard it. Why don't you try to empathize with me, Miss Fan? Then come back and talk to me about whether this is excessive?"
After listening to Fang Zheng's words, the other young men all looked unhappy, especially the women. They knew that the villains killed by Fang Zheng were notorious, but these young men who had just started out in the martial arts world were not particularly clear about what they had done. Now Fang Zheng only talked about a few cases, and they immediately changed their minds.
After all, they were also women. Just listening to Fang Zheng's story, they felt cold all over. If they were to encounter a similar situation, they would not let those bastards go even if they became ghosts. Thinking of this, those who thought Fang Zheng was cruel before no longer thought so.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the lobby became subtle.
