Chapter 414: Always Accommodating

Fang Che was dumbfounded.

I... I was just following the orders of the Deputy Chief of the Only Me Sect, Yan Nan, to cause some trouble. But I ended up encountering two ancient old fogies...

This... they can't just kill me for no reason, right?

Clearing his throat, Fang Che tried to sound as humble and friendly as possible, "Since Senior Tian has already registered with the manager, I'll just make a copy from the manager later. There's no need for you to come down and register again."

Fang Che chuckled and said, "A Cloud Peak Arsenal Poem, a dream for heroes across myriad ages. Senior, you've given all martial artists a dream and a goal. Just for this alone, you deserve my respect. You've worked hard, and I admire you for myriad ages!"

Fang Che's words stirred everyone's hearts, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

Although Fang Che was clearly flattering, upon careful consideration, it seemed to be true.

Fengyun Qi chuckled, feeling a bit emotional as he said, "Back then... I merely did it on a whim, and I didn't think too much about it. The Cloud Peak Arsenal Poem... sigh, it is indeed a goal and a dream, but countless heroes have shed blood for this Cloud Peak List. It's a sin! I've been feeling troubled about this."

Fang Che smiled and said, "Senior, you're being too kind. Even without the Cloud Peak Arsenal Poem, heroes have always shed blood. Fame, fortune, wealth, lust, greed, grudges, and love—all these are reasons for people to lose their lives. If the Cloud Peak Arsenal Poem is guilty, then everything in the mortal world is equally guilty. Senior, there's no need to take it to heart."

Fengyun Qi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a weight lift from his chest. He laughed and changed the topic, "Then thank you, Fang Zhi Shi, for giving this old man a break. To be honest, at my age, it's not easy to go up and down the stairs."

After saying this, he furrowed his brows in deep thought, muttering to himself, "Everything in the mortal world, everything that exists, is guilty of heinous crimes."

Fang Che nodded, "Yes, Senior, please take good care of yourself."

On the other side, a kind and gentle voice spoke, "Elder Fang, I'm also getting old. I've only brought my granddaughter and a servant. May I ask you to let my granddaughter go down and register? I'd rather not go through the trouble myself. I hope you can give me some face."

"Yes, Elder, please rest assured and stay upstairs. I'll let your granddaughter go through the motions of registering. With your words, you've already given me enough face."

Fang Che was very aware of the situation and respectfully replied.

Although the kind voice didn't reveal their identity, Fang Che wisely knew he couldn't afford to offend them.

Besides, why would he insist on going down and asking for trouble?

Although Fang Che considered himself brave, he knew when to back down. It's always wise to know when to yield.

Moreover, who would dare to speak ill of someone who doesn't want to come down and register? Who would dare to gossip?

However, it must be said that there are truly people in this world who don't know when to back down.

Just as Fang Che was thinking this, a sour voice suddenly rang out from the hall of the Purple Robe Palace, "Oh, Elder Fang, you're not insisting on registration? After being so tough earlier!"

It was Bei Zhen, the same person who had spoken first earlier.

Bei Zhen was going through the most difficult and uncomfortable time of his life. The looks of disdain and complaint from everyone, including the elders, were unbearable.

Especially after returning from registration, even his beloved was frowning and complaining.

"What are you doing... Elder Fang is such a good person, and you, being the first to argue with him, created this awkward situation. It's so embarrassing!"

"Bei Zhen, how could you do this!"

"It's so embarrassing..."

Elder Lv Zheng added, "This will be a huge lesson for you! With your temper, you'll suffer great losses in the martial world. Remember this!"

Bei Zhen was confused.

What just happened?

Why... did it suddenly become my fault? When Fang Che first came, everyone was angry. Just do your duty, why be so arrogant and domineering? When I stood up, many admiring gazes praised my courage.

I spoke up for everyone.

But now, Fang Che is fine, and I'm left to shoulder all the blame? What did I do? I only did what everyone wanted to do.

Bei Zhen's thoughts became more and more rebellious and aggrieved as he bottled up his emotions.

The entire person was almost bursting with frustration, and now, Fang Che had learned to be more flexible, seeing the powerful figure, he couldn't help but mock.

But this sentence of mockery silenced the entire Four Seas Eight Corners Tower.

Fang Che burst into laughter, "Elder, this situation is not me not giving you face, but Purple Robe Palace not giving you face!"

Elder Lv Zheng's voice became anxious, "Purple Robe Palace has no such intention! Bei Zhen, apologize to the Elder immediately!"

Sweat broke out on his face.

At this moment, he wanted to slap Bei Zhen to death.

Although he didn't know who was above, this person's words summoned the legendary figure, Fengyun Qi!

Such a person, even the Elder of Purple Robe Palace would have to behave respectfully.

Elder Lv Zheng would have to be respectful here!

Yet, one of the disciples he brought was so ill-mannered.

The kind voice chuckled lightly, "The words of a child from the Purple Robe Palace are not enough to make me, an old man, feel pressured."

Fengyun Qi's voice was hoarse, "My friend, you're too generous."

The kind voice spoke lightly, "However, the family education of the Purple Robe Palace is indeed lacking. I find it inappropriate and must remind the Purple Robe Palace."

Suddenly, a cough was heard.

Whoosh!

The Purple Robe Palace's team leader, Lv Zheng, was caught mid-air and hung like a dried salted fish.

There was no visible movement, and no spiritual energy fluctuations were felt.

But as a top expert of Cloud Peak, Lv Zheng was grabbed by an invisible giant hand and hung in the air.

He couldn't move a muscle, not even able to make a sound, and was publicly humiliated!

Sun God and Qin Guang Wang, among others, gasped in shock, their eyes wide with astonishment!

Those who were most familiar with Lv Zheng's cultivation understood that although his cultivation might not be at the peak of the Purple Robe Palace, it was undoubtedly top-notch in the martial world.

Who was this person above?

The faces of the Purple Robe Palace members paled, and Bei Zhen's face turned ashen.

The person didn't target him, obviously feeling that he wasn't worthy of a lesson. But publicly humiliating Elder Lv Zheng like this would have more severe consequences than teaching Bei Zhen a lesson.

Bei Zhen already foresaw what would happen to him when he returned.

The kind voice spoke slowly, "Young ones of the Purple Robe Palace, what do you think of the family education of the Purple Robe Palace?"

Lv Zheng, hanging in the air, suddenly realized he could speak again. He hurriedly said, "The family education of the Purple Robe Palace is lacking. I have offended the senior, and when I return, I will definitely punish myself severely."

The kind voice said, "But what should I say here? Should I just let it go so lightly?"

Lv Zheng replied, "As the senior has instructed, I will definitely follow. I dare not reduce it by half."

As the person involved, he was the one who best understood what he was going through at this moment. His soul was so scared that it couldn't descend from mid-air.

The kind voice said, "Slap yourself, and make the mountains and rivers resonate! The echo will linger! Ten times!"

Everyone gasped in shock.

The mountains and rivers resonated, and the echo lingered.

It was the kind of sound that made the mountains tremble, and it had to be clean and efficient, allowing the echo to form.

In front of so many witnesses, with everyone's eyes upon him, this demand was the ultimate humiliation.

But Lv Zheng didn't hesitate. He raised his hand and slapped himself hard on the face.

A loud boom reverberated, and the echo from the Four Seas and Eight Corners Tower followed: Boom~ Boom~ Boom~

After the echo faded, the second slap landed with another loud boom.

His eyebrows twitched, and his heart jumped in his chest. Everyone was silent, like cicadas in winter.

Beg for mercy? Forget it!

If he spoke up, he'd be asking for trouble...

Ten loud slaps landed solidly.

Lv Zheng remained suspended in mid-air, his hands hanging down as he stood straight.

The kind voice said, "Not bad. You may go. Next time, no matter when, remember to slap yourself like this."

"Yes, I will follow your command."

Lv Zheng's face on both sides was already swollen like a pig's butt, but he dared not speak incoherently. Every word he uttered was clear and distinct.

Just now, for those ten slaps, he not only used his full strength without holding back but also slapped both sides of his face, five slaps on each side.

Because... what if after he finished slapping, the other person asked: Why did you only slap one side?

Wouldn't that be even more miserable?

"Go down. Sigh, it's not easy for you either."

The kind voice sighed, releasing Lv Zheng and letting out another sigh. With a hint of melancholy, he said, "In my life, I've always been kind to others. I can't stand seeing wrongdoings, and when I see something amiss, I want to correct it. This is also my old habit. There's no need for you all to mind it."

After these words, everyone fell silent.

It's not that they didn't want to flatter, but after this sentence, they really didn't know how to respond.

Everyone felt that the words he spoke had turned the concept of good and evil in their hearts upside down.

Fengyun Qi coughed, a bit painfully, and said, "My friend, you... have always been kind to others in your life?"

The kind voice asked, "What's wrong with that, Brother Qi?"

Fengyun Qi smiled bitterly and said, "It is indeed a good deed. It's just my narrow-mindedness."

"It's not good to be so narrow-minded. It doesn't benefit one's mental state."

The kind voice sighed and said, "Brother Qi, I've set up the chessboard here. Why don't you come over for a game?"

Fengyun Qi said, "Good. I want to see how much your chess skills have improved over the years."

The kind voice was filled with laughter, "Countless things throughout history are contained within a game of chess. Only in recent years have I discovered that among the ways to pass time, this game of chess is truly wonderful."

Everyone present had no feeling at all, and there was no one's shadow swaying around.

But Fengyun Qi's voice had already sounded from the other side, "These chess pieces are truly exceptional."

"Yes."

The two of them had already started playing chess on the eighth floor.

Feng Yi and Feng Er exchanged glances, both seeing seriousness in each other's eyes.

Feng Yun transmitted a sound, "What's the situation?"

Feng Yi transmitted back, "Cloud Young Master, we need to be cautious today. Their cultivation... I'm afraid we'll need the Deputy Chief or the Head to come in person to resist them... The two of us brothers, in front of these two... are absolutely no match for them."

"Feng Yun's eyes suddenly turned deep.

For the few people on the Ninth Floor, he had tried every means to secretly test them countless times, but all to no avail.

Not even a trace of their aura could be detected.

Feng Yi was a little better, at least he knew after registering.

But that kind and amiable voice, he had absolutely no impression of it.

Completely unfamiliar.

Moreover... this person claims to be 'always benevolent towards others', so they definitely aren't from the Only Righteous Religion.

If that's the case, it's strange that there's someone in the world with such obvious cultivation at the peak yet no one knows of their existence.

Lv Zheng entered the private room of the Purple Robe Palace amidst the silence, only to see Bei Zhen already kneeling on the ground, waiting for his return, her head lowered, her entire body trembling: "Elder..."

"Shut up!"

Lv Zheng gritted his teeth and growled softly, "We'll talk about it later!"

His voice was as cold as hell.

Bei Zhen's body trembled, and she knelt there, not daring to make a sound. The others didn't dare to plead for her either.

Lv Zheng's face was swollen, and he sat in the chair, not daring to return to his room to rest or use his cultivation to reduce the swelling. Because he wasn't sure if the other party would punish him again for avoiding the public's gaze...

This is too difficult! "Get back to your position and sit down! What are you doing kneeling here? Do you want everyone to think I'm eager to take revenge on you?"

Lv Zheng coldly drove Bei Zhen away.

He now truly had murderous intent towards Bei Zhen.

This disciple, no matter what, couldn't be kept.

To think that he, Lv Zheng, had suffered such a baseless calamity, enduring the most humiliating experience of his life!

Outside, silence prevailed.

A graceful figure slowly descended from the Ninth Floor.

Her movements were light and graceful, like a gentle breeze passing over a still water surface, causing faint ripples, while the lotus above the water slightly trembled.

She exuded an indescribable elegance and composure.

A girl in white, her face covered by a white veil, had already landed before Fang Che. Her eyes were clear and bright like water, and her temperament was ethereal and otherworldly.

"Elder Fang, I'm here to register."

Her voice was crisp and pleasant, with a hint of magnetic allure.

But Fang Che was certain he had never heard this voice before.

This girl had black hair like clouds, a slender figure, and carried a carefree and unfettered aura.

Whether it was her demeanor, temperament, charm, appearance, or gaze, Fang Che had no recollection of anyone like her.

But his heart inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.

His heart stirred slightly: "Thank you, Miss."

However, his aura subtly fluctuated, gently wrapping around her.

Upon sensing her aura, he instantly felt a sharp spear intent surging towards him, an imposing aura as if in response to a threat.

Suddenly, his eyebrows furrowed.

Spear Intent!

This girl was actually a spear expert.

But Fang Che's mind became even more confused: "Of all the women I know, which one uses a spear? I've counted both my past and present lives, and there isn't a single one!"

Then, where does this sense of familiarity come from?

He looked at the registration details again.

South Mountain Sage.

South Mountain Phoenix.

Red Lady.

These three names were as vague as they could be.

Fang Che's lips twitched: "Miss, your name is truly wonderful. South Mountain has a phoenix, and the phoenix dances in the Ninth Heaven."

The 'South Mountain Phoenix' smiled gracefully and said softly, "My identity cannot be revealed, please forgive me, Elder Fang."

"I understand."

Fang Che nodded.

With such sincerity from the other party, Fang Che couldn't find a reason to make things difficult for her; moreover, he never intended to do so in the first place.

But the sense of familiarity in his heart made him very eager to unravel this mystery. Smiling, he said, "Miss, where is this South Mountain that you speak of?"

"South Mountain... the south of heaven, the south of earth, South Mountain is a place of peace and contentment." The South Mountain Phoenix spoke lightly.

"Then, are you... at peace?" Fang Che smiled.

"For now, I am at peace." The South Mountain Phoenix smiled, waved her hand, and gracefully ascended, returning to the Ninth Floor.

At this moment, Ye Meng had also finished registering.

Ye Meng's heart was pounding. When this woman descended, Ye Meng suddenly felt an extreme sense of threat.

This feeling made her hair stand on end. Her heart sounded an alarm that couldn't be ignored.

Although Lan Xinxue seemed to be very fond of Fang Che, Ye Meng didn't sense much threat from her. But this unfamiliar woman gave Ye Meng a sense of threat that was over a hundred times greater than Lan Xinxue's!

Seeing Fang Che frowning at the woman's back, Ye Meng pondered for a moment and then transmitted her voice to Fang Che: "This woman knows you!"

Fang Che's heart trembled.

Since Ye Meng said so, there must be some basis for it.

It was based on her feelings, or perhaps her intuition.

But there's a saying that a woman's intuition is the most accurate.

She knows me.

I also have a feeling of familiarity.

Then, this isn't her true appearance, but a disguise. But the women I know are few and far between, especially those as powerful as her... there are even fewer.

So, who is she?

Fang Che's mind was in a whirl.

The women I know, Bing Jiao isn't one, nor is Meng He Jun... the other disciples like Lan Xinxue from various sects don't count either.

This person isn't that strong!

On the Guardian's side, could it be Zhao Ying'er? Absolutely not!

Then the only possibility left is the Only Righteous Sect.

Zhou Meier? Absolutely not. If it were Zhou Meier and the others, he would definitely be able to sense it.

Then, the only ones left are those who were spectating the young generation's friendship battle back then.

Yan Bei Han, Bi Yunyan, Chen Xue, Feng Xue, and the others...

The ones Fang Che knows are these four.

They are all watching.

But if it were Bi Yunyan, Chen Xue, Feng Xue, and the others, they couldn't give him this familiar feeling.

Since that's the case...

Fang Che's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Yan Bei Han!

A sudden clarity dawned on him: Aside from Yan Bei Han, it couldn't be anyone else!

As soon as Fang Che thought of this, he felt his brain go dizzy. It wasn't because of Yan Bei Han, but because the voice accompanying Yan Bei Han was that of a kind and elderly person.

Since this woman is Yan Bei Han, then who is that elder?

The Only Righteous Sect's Deputy Chief, Yan Nan?

Fang Che's mind quickly analyzed.

If it's Yan Nan... it doesn't make sense; first, Yan Nan needs to stay in the Only Righteous Sect to manage the situation; second, Yan Nan has already arranged for him to come here through the Divine Sense Palace.

Since arrangements have been made, Yan Nan definitely wouldn't personally come again.

For such a matter, even if the Heavenly Palace's schemes are grand, it's not worth Yan Nan personally coming, as the stakes aren't high enough! So, there must be someone else.

"Always kind to others." Those were the words of the elder.

But after he finished speaking, even Fengyun Qi couldn't help but exclaim, "You're always kind to others?"

And he added, "It's indeed a good deed, I was too narrow-minded."

Then, where did the word 'narrow-minded' come from?

Fang Che recalled a phrase.

"Assisting you in the afterlife, sending you to the Pure Land, severing your worldly ties, freeing you from suffering, distancing you from life's hardships, and abandoning the struggles of survival, is the ultimate good deed."

This phrase was spoken by someone from the Only Righteous Sect.

Its meaning is: By killing you, I'm helping you, and I'm doing a good deed!

From this inference, this person must be a bloodthirsty executioner.

Such a peerless evil demon, coming in complete opposition, would make it impossible for anyone to guess their true identity.

Moreover, being familiar with Fengyun Qi, they must be ancient and highly experienced.

Their strength is undoubtedly at the pinnacle.

Furthermore, deducing from Yan Bei Han's presence: Yan Bei Han's purpose in coming here is to test the martial world!

Since she's testing the martial world, there must be a Guardian.

Then, who is suitable to be Yan Bei Han's Guardian, and who can put Yan Nan at ease? Moreover, if Yan Nan arranged for him to come here to cause trouble, what if another powerful demon came, and they killed Fang Che because they didn't like him?

The Only Righteous Sect can ensure Yan Bei Han's safety in any situation and wouldn't kill Fang Che. There's only one person who fits this description!

Fang Che couldn't help but gasp, and his heart began to pound.

He could even hear his own heart beating like a drum.

Duan Xi Yang!

As long as this person can confirm Yan Bei Han's identity, then the 'South Mountain Sage' must be Duan Xi Yang!

Moreover, these two names...

South Mountain Phoenix.

Yan Bei Han!

One from the south, one from the north... one a phoenix, one a cold sword.

Fang Che took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart, but to no avail. Even with the Ice-Clear Spirit Platform, he couldn't calm down in a short time.

This revelation was too shocking!

Duan Xi Yang, the Bone-Shattering Dream Spear, had quietly brought Yan Nan's granddaughter, Yan Bei Han, to White Cloud Continent!

This news was explosive!

But Fang Che had to pretend he didn't know and couldn't reveal it.

Duan Xi Yang couldn't be killed. No matter how many besieged him, as long as Duan Xi Yang wanted to leave, no one could stop him.

Even if we take a step back and say that even if the Guardians' higher-ups all appeared, creating a situation where Duan Xi Yang had to fight to the death, they would rather sacrifice the entire White Cloud Continent as a funeral offering and pay any price to kill Duan Xi Yang and Yan Bei Han...

A world-ending battle would likely erupt immediately.

Fang Che sighed in his heart.

This matter... can't be thought about, can't be thought about.

But with Duan Xi Yang and Fengyun Qi personally coming here, this matter is indeed a super important event!

Finally, the registration was complete.

It must be said that this registration made Fang Che break out in cold sweats.

He now felt a chill, as if he had passed through the gates of hell several times!

Before the 60,000-word mark, I would basically revise each chapter daily.

As I continued writing, I felt I had missed something and would go back to revise it again.

By the time each chapter was ready, I had revised it at least seven or eight times.

A sickness, an event; my draft was exhausted.

Additionally, with the year-end, there were too many things, and I lost that 'finely carved' feeling. I wasn't as composed as before.

Starting yesterday, I sought to regain that feeling. Today's chapter is more satisfying.

(End of Chapter)
