Chapter 402: Lin Fan's Conditions, Beast Control Sect's Dragon King! (Part 2)
"
"You're really full of it, I almost believed your words."
"I'm speechless too!"
He felt particularly helpless.
But Chen Chen took a deep breath, "Thank you, Sect Master, for giving us this opportunity."
"Please believe in us, the Beast Control lineage will not disappoint you!"
"We will return to handle this matter immediately."
"Of course, that's the best." Lin Fan nodded, "Fu Ningna, call He Anxia here, and accompany the two elders on their journey."
"Yes, Master."
Gao Guang continued to complain.
Fu Ningna's heart was already filled with complaints.
But her expression remained calm, and she immediately contacted He Anxia.
He Anxia, who had just returned, was currently focusing on virus research and wasn't in seclusion.
Upon receiving the notification, he hurried over.
However, the moment he saw Chen Chen and Gao Guang, his expression froze, and he awkwardly said, "Master..."
"Old... Teacher."
"There's no need for such formality."
Lin Fan smiled slightly, "Chen Lao is your mentor, so you should respect and be filial to him."
"I called you here today because your teacher has a task for you."
"Regarding this matter... it's up to your teacher."
"But you only need to remember to follow your teacher's arrangements and do your best."
"Yes, Master!"
He Anxia finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, the Master was magnanimous. Otherwise, with both teachers together, there was always a feeling of being in a 'battlefield of the Asuras.'
...
"Master."
"You said, will they be able to complete it smoothly?"
As Chen Chen and the other two left, Fu Ningna couldn't help but ask.
"I'm not a god, so I can't predict the future." Lin Fan sighed helplessly, "But I hope everything goes well."
"Speaking of which, it's a long story."
"After plotting for so long, now that they've come to us, I have to set some hurdles and increase the difficulty for them."
"What are you saying?"
Fu Ningna smiled, "This is called having foresight, Master."
"It may seem troublesome, but it's to reduce future problems."
"To subdue others, one can't rely solely on 'righteousness' and benefits; strength is also necessary."
"How does that old saying go? Emmmm... I think it's something like 'slap someone and then give them a sweet date?'"
"Describing it as 'establishing authority' wouldn't be wrong, right?"
"You've got a clear understanding."
Lin Fan praised.
Fu Ningna's words were spot on.
Relying solely on benefits to attract people will eventually lead to trouble.
So, the necessary measures must be taken.
"Personally, I really dislike these things."
He sighed, "But what I represent is not just myself, but also the entire Moon Holding Sect, with its millions..."
"One must not take a single wrong step, always treading as if on thin ice."
"So..."
...
"Great Elder."
On their way back, Gao Guang could no longer hold it in and exploded, "I know what you mean, and I also know you want to quickly lead our Beast Control Sect into the Moon Holding Sect, becoming the Beast Taming Lineage."
"But the problems the Sect Master is worried about are real challenges! You agreed so easily and made such a confident promise. What if you can't fulfill it in the end? Wouldn't that be counterproductive?"
"You..."
"How could this be?!"
Upon hearing this, He Anxia's heart skipped a beat! A word he had learned from other fellow disciples popped into his mind—Holy sht?!
"This... No, Teacher and Third Elder actually want to bring the entire Beast Control Sect into my Moon Holding Sect???"
"This, me, them...?!"
He Anxia's mind was buzzing with countless questions, but at this moment, it wasn't appropriate to ask. He could only temporarily seal his lips and listen intently.
"What you said is correct."
Chen Chen nodded, "But it's based on the assumption that you and I can't achieve it."
"What if you and I... could?"
"What?!"
Gao Guang was speechless, "Are you talking nonsense? It's not even sunset, and you haven't had any alcohol. How can you start talking nonsense already?"
"What do you mean by 'what if'?"
"You're betting on a one-in-a-million chance and telling me 'what if'?"
"I didn't know when you became a gambler."
"Gambling?" Chen Chen didn't seem flustered by the accusation and instead chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Perhaps, but I know that the sooner the Beast Control Sect becomes the Beast Taming Lineage, the sooner it will soar to success and become stronger."
"For that, bearing some criticism is nothing."
"Bearing criticism?"
"What are you planning to do?!" Gao Guang's face changed.
"Do what?"
"Do nothing."
"Just..."
"Go with the flow."
Gao Guang: "???"
He was stunned.
Go with the flow?
Go with what flow and push what boat?
I don't understand, brother!
But Chen Chen merely shook his head and turned to He Anxia, "You... can you act like a spoiled young master?"
"Oh, no, saying 'spoiled young master' isn't precise enough. It should be... can you act like a villain?"
"Huh?!"
He Anxia was dumbfounded.
Why are you dragging me into this?
And...
What do you really mean by that?
I can't understand at all!
"It's fine..." Chen Chen seemed to be talking to himself, not even waiting for He Anxia's response, "No, you can learn."
"Learning on the spot shouldn't be a problem."
He Anxia was completely lost, "Old... Teacher, what do you mean? I don't understand."
"There's actually no hidden meaning."
Chen Chen cleared his throat, "I just want you to go back to the Beast Control Sect and bully the younger generation."
"???"
He Anxia stared, "Teacher, if I heard correctly, you said... bully?!"
That's not right!
Bully the Beast Control Sect disciples? They used to be my fellow disciples and sisters, and now they're your fellow sect members!
You want me to bully them? And bully them hard?!
"Absolutely correct!"
Chen Chen's expression turned solemn, "I have my own plans."
"After you return to the Beast Control Sect, you don't need to do much. Just do one thing!"
"What is it?"
"Laugh!"
"???" He Anxia was even more confused, "Laugh?"
"Just... like this?"
He forced himself to laugh.
But Chen Chen immediately shook his head, "No, no, no, that's not how you should laugh.
"You're smiling, but it's so fake. It's completely unqualified!"
"No way!"
He pulled the two of them, "Stop for a moment. I need to guide you properly, otherwise, it will affect my plan!"
Gao Guang was baffled, "What plan are you talking about?"
"I can't explain it in a few words. In any case, just listen to me."
"As long as you listen to me, success is guaranteed. At the very least, there's a seventy to eighty percent chance of success."
Gao Guang: "..."
He Anxia couldn't help but laugh and cry, "Then I'll listen to you, Teacher. I'll do as you say."
"Yes, that's right."
Chen Chen smiled.
"Let me teach you how to smile. Watch me!"
"No, no, it's not natural enough. You're faking a smile... Sigh, I want you to fake a smile, but it has to be natural and genuine!"
"Yes, that's it! There's a hint of it. Come on, keep going!"
"Yes, just like that!"
"Perfect!"
"Now your smile is slightly more genuine, but it's still not enough. Just smiling isn't enough."
Chen Chen's eyes lit up.
"When you smile, you need to add some emotion to it."
He Anxia: "..., emotion?"
"Yes, emotion."
"The kind of emotion where you're arrogant and domineering, thinking you're the best in the world, and everyone else is just lowly ants."
He Anxia: "???"
"This..."
"No, Teacher, aren't you taking me back to the sect? Should I behave like this towards my fellow disciples?"
"What's wrong with that?"
Chen Chen waved his hand, "Just trust me. Besides, this is all an act, it's just a performance for the sake of a better future for the Beast Control Sect disciples."
"We're doing this with good intentions!"
"Even if they resent us now, they will understand and be grateful in the future."
"So don't worry, there's absolutely no problem!"
He Anxia felt something was off, "Is there really no problem?"
"Don't you trust me? When have I ever lied to you?"
He Anxia pondered...
Yes, you've never lied to me before.
But now, no matter how I look at it, I feel there's something wrong with you!
He smiled bitterly, "Then please continue, Teacher."
"Sure, sure."
Only then did Chen Chen nod in satisfaction, "In any case, just smile, a flamboyant smile, the kind of smile a spoiled young master would have."
"This... like this?"
He Anxia forced himself to smile, a smile that was somewhat flamboyant, despite his discomfort.
"It's still not enough, it's not even close."
"Put more effort into it!"
"More effort?"
He Anxia wasn't the type to show off, and it was difficult for him to put on such a pretentious smile.
After practicing for an incense stick's worth of time, he barely met Chen Chen's requirements.
"Hmm..."
"It's getting there, but it's only at eighty percent. You need to practice more and keep trying!"
"I still need to practice?"
Gao Guang's mouth twitched, "Are you done?"
"Not just the younger disciples, even if it were me, seeing such a smile would make me want to punch him!"
"You still think it's not enough?"
"Is this how you want him to smile? Do you want everyone to target and beat him up as soon as they see him?"
"Yes, that's right!" Chen Chen's eyes lit up as he listened, nodding in agreement, "That's exactly the effect I want."
"It's still missing a bit."
"And I feel like something is slightly off."
"Let me take a closer look."
He circled around He Anxia a few times and suddenly clapped his thigh, "I got it!"
"Your smile is so punchable, but it lacks your personal style. In other words, it's not punchable enough."
"Hmm..."
"When you smile, twist your mouth like this."
"Twist my mouth?!"
"Yes, yes, twist it!" Chen Chen's eyes shone intensely, "Earlier, Zhu Ruchong mentioned something about a twisted-mouth Dragon King, the most annoying one!"
"When he smiles, everyone wants to hit him!"
"So, twist your mouth."
"I'm not saying to match that level, but it should be much better than it is now."
"If you twist your mouth when you smile, it should be at ninety-five percent."
Upon hearing this, He Anxia twisted his mouth into a flamboyant smile.
A perfectly normal young man.
Suddenly transformed into the twisted-mouth Dragon King.
And Chen Chen was extremely satisfied, "Yes, yes, just like that, hahaha!"
"Exactly!"
"With this twisted mouth, what can't be accomplished?"
Gao Guang: "!!!"
He Anxia: "(⊙_⊙)..."
For a moment, the two of them opened their mouths, but couldn't find the right words to say.
They could only pretend nothing had happened.
"Let's go back to the sect!"
Chen Chen was in high spirits, and with a wave of his hand, a cloud gathered and carried the three of them back to the Beast Control Sect.
...
"Elder Gao and Elder Zhou?"
The disciple guarding the mountain was bewildered, "You two are back again?"
What's going on? They returned less than an hour ago and now they're back again?
"Yes."
But Chen Chen didn't pay much attention to him and instead looked at He Anxia beside him.
The latter was slightly stunned, and his mouth twitched as he twisted his mouth into a smile.
In an instant, an aura of arrogance and dominance filled the air, as if he were the best in the world, shocking the disciple guarding the mountain, who took a half-step back.
Who's showing off now?!
It was so dazzling! He focused his gaze, and the twisted mouth immediately annoyed him.
Upon closer inspection...
"Hmm?"
"He... He Shixiong?"
Action: In the Council Hall, He Anxia was about to nod in response when Chen Chen, standing beside him, subtly tugged at his sleeve.
He Anxia immediately caught on and let out a cold laugh, "Hmph, blind dog!"
"Even the Dragon King himself..."
The guard disciple was completely dumbfounded, "What Dragon King?"
"Pfft!"
"I'm the Dragon King, and you dare ask me, a mere ant, about it? You're asking for death!"
"Get lost!"
Chen Chen's words were so pretentious that He Anxia couldn't help but kick the two guard disciples away.
As he hesitated, Chen Chen urged him on.
He had no choice but to proceed.
"Useless!" He Anxia continued to berate them as he walked.
"Back then, I, the Dragon King, also came from this small Beast Control Sect. But after all these years, not only has the sect failed to progress, it has even regressed!"
"You..."
"You disappoint me greatly!"
"If all the disciples of the Beast Control Sect are as useless as you, then the sect might as well be gone!"
"What?!"
The two disciples who had been kicked aside were already furious, but they held back due to the presence of the two elders and He Anxia's former status as a core disciple.
But they never expected him to be so 'abnormal'.
In his words, he didn't give the Beast Control Sect the slightest respect and even called them all useless.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The two disciples' anger rose as they glared at each other, both seeing the dissatisfaction in the other's eyes.
"Who do you think you are?"
"Even if you were once a core disciple, you've left the sect. You're no longer one of us!"
"An outsider like you dares to be so arrogant and boastful, calling our younger generation of the Beast Control Sect useless? How dare you!"
"You dare to insult our sect!"
The two disciples stood up and demanded an explanation.
In the face of these questions, He Anxia felt nervous. He glanced at Chen Chen, whose expression remained unchanged, still full of 'encouragement' and 'dryness'.
He Anxia: "..."
"Not bad!"
"I, the Dragon King, dare to challenge you even if you have no one. So what?"
"Unless, of course, you have someone in the Beast Control Sect. If you do, let me see them!"
"If the person you call out can withstand a single move from me without defeat, I will acknowledge you and the Beast Control Sect!"
"Can you bring someone out?"
"How dare you!"
"You, He Anxia, today, the Beast Control Sect will not let you off!"
The two guard disciples, furious, were about to go and fetch someone.
"Hmph."
He Anxia waved his hand, and a chain shot out, knocking one of the disciples away.
"A worthless fool dares to call out the Dragon King's name? You're asking for death!"
"Go and fetch the strongest young disciple of the Beast Control Sect within the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. Otherwise..."
"You're all useless."
"You!!!"
The guard disciple who had been knocked away clenched his teeth in anger.
As he was about to rush forward, another person held him back, "Don't be hasty, let's go and get someone!"
"Let's show him the strength of the Beast Control Sect!"
The two disciples immediately went to find someone.
Although they were guard disciples, as members of the sect, they would stand united against external humiliation. After all, they shared a common fate.
Especially now that He Anxia was so audacious, who could bear it? It was time to take action!
The two disciples found the areas where the inner, core, and direct disciples resided and relayed the situation.
There was no need for exaggeration; they simply repeated He Anxia's attitude and words, which infuriated the Beast Control Sect disciples, making them want to rush out and kill him.
"Yes, yes, yes! We'll teach him a lesson!"
"He was once our core disciple, and now he's so arrogant. He's asking for death!"
"Let's go and teach him a lesson!"
"That's right, let's show him that we're not to be bullied."
"Let's go!!!"
The crowd was riled up. At this moment, even if they said they wanted to surround and beat He Anxia to death, no one would doubt them.
However, among them was a relatively calm disciple who said, "Fellow disciples, hold on! I understand your anger, but He Anxia was once a core disciple."
"He was a core disciple and is now part of the Moon Holding Sect. We all know how well the Moon Holding Sect cultivates their disciples."
"We might not have been his match before, but now..."
"Then let's surround him!"
"Yes, with all of us, even our spit can drown him!"
"What you say is true, but if we gang up on him, even if we win, it won't be honorable. He won't admit defeat, and what's the point? Is it just to let off steam?"
"If you don't fight, what's the difference?"
The calm disciple took a deep breath, "In my opinion, we should immediately request the help of the Holy Son and Holy Daughter to deal with He Anxia. That way, we can be certain of success."
"Once we subdue him, we can repay his arrogance and insults tenfold, a hundredfold!"
"Yes, that makes sense!"
The crowd realized the wisdom in these words.
"That's the way!"
"Let's go and request the Holy Son and Holy Daughter..."
"There's no need!"
At this moment, the Holy Son and Holy Daughter arrived, and the Holy Son waved his hand, "Come, let's go together and subdue this madman, He Anxia!"
