Ouyang Feng smiled faintly: "My master's wife is naturally the most powerful person in the world."
Chen Xuanling choked upon hearing this. Of course, this wasn't what she wanted to hear, but since Ouyang Feng didn't answer directly, she couldn't ask any further. She admired people like Ouyang Feng who were upright and sincere, but sometimes their conversations could be quite infuriating.
"The people from Honglianfang have arrived."
Chen Xuanling wanted to talk more, but she had to give up. Oh well, there would be other times in the future.
What she didn't know was that someone with Ouyang Feng's personality, once he made up his mind about something, would basically not change it. So, it was impossible for her to get information out of him, because Ouyang Feng had a very clear understanding of himself. He knew that the more he said, the more mistakes he would make, so he simply kept quiet.
"Master Xue," Ouyang Feng said respectfully, cupping his hands in greeting.
Xue Honglian looked at him with sharp eyes. Because she usually disliked men, her tone wasn't very friendly: "You know me?"
Ouyang Feng remained respectful: "My master's wife once told us disciples about it."
"What did your master's wife say about me?"
"My master's wife said that although Master Xue has a bad reputation in the martial arts world, he is willing to use his own abilities to support countless women in distress. He is a hero. She told us that if we encounter difficulties in Master Xue's territory, we can come to Master Xue for help."
Xue Honglian sneered: "That's interesting. I don't remember having any relationship with your master's wife."
"My master's wife said that even if we don't have a relationship, if you encounter difficulties, Master Xue, you will definitely not sit idly by."
"They're quite good at manipulating people's hearts."
"Master Xue, you flatter us. It's just that your usual conduct has earned the respect of my master's wife and us disciples."
Xue Honglian walked past him into the courtyard: "Is the cult's property you mentioned in here? Aren't you afraid it will be swallowed up by the neighborhood head?"
"Even if you, Master Xue, use it for other purposes, it will only be for some poor women, as a way of giving back to society."
Xue Honglian gave another cold laugh: "Alright, no need to keep flattering me. You can leave now. If I have time, I will definitely meet your master's wife."
"My master's wife once said that she wanted to be friends with you, Master Xue. If she knew your thoughts, she would be very happy."
After saying that, Ouyang Feng pulled Chen Xuanling away. Chen Xuanling was extremely dissatisfied: "With her attitude, you're just going to hand over so much wealth to her?"
"Although Master Xue has a bad personality, she will definitely handle it well."
“Ouyang Feng,” Chen Xuanling asked jokingly, “the Red Lotus Pavilion is also known as a cult, so why is there such a big difference in your attitudes towards the Red Lotus Pavilion and the Silver Moon Holy Cult?”
"Of course these two are different." Ouyang Feng said with disgust, "The Red Lotus Pavilion never harms people on its own initiative, and even takes in desperate and helpless women. But what about the cult? They take pleasure in oppressing and fooling ordinary people, defrauding them of their property, destroying their families, and even interfering in the affairs of the court, colluding with treacherous officials to deceive the government, causing millions of people to be displaced. How can the disciples of the cult compare to the Red Lotus Pavilion? Everyone should kill the cult."
Chen Xuanling was shocked by his resolute attitude and felt very guilty about her identity, afraid that he would see through her. But in her heart, the Holy Sect was not like this. The Holy Sect did this only to welcome the new life.
So she chuckled dryly twice: "What if, I mean, what if, the cult is also trying to destroy the old to build the new?"
Ouyang Feng looked directly into her eyes: "There are many ways to save this world, instead of making it worse first. What right does a cult have to stand on the side of divine justice and judge the lives of innocent people first? They should be allowed to choose for themselves."
Chen Xuanling became anxious: "But the people are ignorant, how can they know which choice is right?"
"That's why we need to work hard to educate them and tell them which path to take. Chen Xuanling, why do you say that? Why do you speak up for a cult?"
Chen Xuanling forced herself to cheer up: "I just suddenly realized that since the Red Lotus Pavilion isn't bad, the Silver Moon Holy Sect might also have some deeper meaning."
"What profound meaning? It's nothing more than selfish desires and a desire to control the world. Since the invasion of the Central Plains by this cult, how many people have been harmed by it? Isn't that enough to prove its despicable nature?"
"But are those who claim to be from reputable families necessarily right? On my way here, I saw many people who called themselves from reputable families, but many of them were also doing things that oppressed the people."
"I didn't say that reputable sects are necessarily good, but cults are definitely bad."
Seeing his resolute attitude, Chen Xuanling had nothing more to say.
Along the way, the two spoke less. Ouyang Feng pretended not to notice, but perhaps Chen Xuanling was unwilling to leave like this, so she slowly started to find topics to talk about again.
The more she acted this way, the more worried Ouyang Feng felt for her, and the more wary he became.
I feel sorry for her because she is such a young and beautiful woman, yet she has to compromise herself because she has been brainwashed by a cult. I am wary of her because I am afraid that she might try to get some information out of me, or that she might do something harmful to Linghe Valley and Linghe City after going there with me.
In short, he will definitely distinguish between these two matters, and he will absolutely not allow Chen Xuanling to have the opportunity to harm Linghe Valley and Linghe City.
On the other side, after Yin Shihuai and Ouyang Wan recovered from their injuries, they slowly contacted several disciples of Linghe Valley. Upon learning that they were alright, the two decided to separate everyone to avoid them gathering together and becoming targets of the cult again.
"I wonder how Senior Brother is doing?"
"Don't worry, with Senior Brother's current martial arts skills, only a few top masters in the martial arts world can hurt him. Besides, Senior Brother has always been very lucky, so there won't be any problems."
“That’s true.” Ouyang Wan nodded. “Fools sometimes have good luck.”
Yin Shihuai burst out laughing: "Don't say that in front of Senior Brother. Besides, Senior Brother isn't stupid. He just doesn't like to assume things with malice."
"Of course I won't say it outright. By the way, junior brother, now that we have some time, why don't we investigate your family's affairs from back then? Master's wife has already found some clues; let's follow them, shall we?"
Yin Shihuai's heart tightened: "This could be dangerous."
“I’m not afraid, junior brother. I don’t want you to have any regrets. Although your master’s wife will definitely avenge you, I know that it’s always different to avenge yourself.”
Yin Shihuai held her hand tightly: "Junior Sister, you're so kind, I..."
Ouyang Wanxin's heart pounded, and she quickly interrupted him: "I'm your senior sister, of course I have to consider your needs."
That's enough!
Yin Shihuai sighed inwardly. After all, he and his junior sister were still young. They should take it slow and not rush things. He didn't want to scare his junior sister.
The topic then shifted, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "They're just people from the imperial court, cults, or reputable sects who have designs on this world. Otherwise, why would they be looking for the treasury of the previous dynasty? Back then, my Yin family had many experts, but there weren't many forces that could wipe out my entire family in one night. We'll investigate them one by one."
