Chapter 480: The Seven Teapots of the Ninth Master (Part 1) (Part 2)
Chapter 480: The Seven Teapots of the Ninth Master (Part 1) (Part 2)
Dongfang Sansan took out the second pack of tea leaves and smiled, "For the first grand trend, is there anything else you want to ask?"
"Not for now."
Fang Che blushed.
"Then let's start with the questions of the second pot of tea."
Dongfang Sansan smiled lightly, putting in the tea leaves, rinsing, waking, then brewing, steeping, turning, returning, and pouring the tea.
The slightly brownish-yellow tea was poured into the cup.
The fragrance of the tea rose, and Fang Che felt his divine soul refreshed.
"This pot of tea also comes from Yan Nan."
Dongfang Sansan smiled, "Yan Nan's Dragon Well Tea. Among today's seven kinds of tea... five of them, I got from Yan Nan."
He smiled craftily, as if very pleased with himself.
But Fang Che suddenly felt a tightness in his heart, almost unable to breathe.
Because these teas did not exist on the Guardian Continent! And if it weren't for today's conversation, Nine Sir wouldn't have even taken a single sip!
Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Fang Che's voice trembled slightly as he forced a smile, "It seems that Nine Sir and Deputy Leader Yan Nan truly appreciate each other. It's a case of heroes appreciating heroes."
Dongfang Sansan listened to him attentively.
Since they arrived, every word Fang Che spoke, Dongfang Sansan listened to very seriously, showing great concern, even undivided attention.
After hearing him out, he smiled and said, "How should I put it? What you said is correct. Yan Nan is indeed a person of great talent and ambition; if we must categorize him, he lies between... a hero and a warlord."
"Yan Nan's scheming, wisdom, depth of character, strategy, and martial prowess... are all top-notch."
"You must never underestimate this person just because for years, Yan Nan and the Only Righteous Sect seem to be led by us. Sometimes, the tide of events forces his hand. Even if he knows it's my arrangement, he must still follow it. Not doing so would result in even more serious mistakes."
"Before the tide of events, Yan Nan has never acted against it... no matter how much I pressure him."
When speaking about Yan Nan, Dongfang Sansan's voice carried an indescribable gravity, "Just from this, you can imagine how formidable he is."
Fang Che was initially puzzled, but upon careful thought, he understood.
Because, for people in high positions, none of them would willingly follow another's arrangements. This is a matter of self-respect and a common flaw among those at the top.
But Yan Nan could overcome this flaw, thus making fewer mistakes, which was already very difficult.
"You are now asking about Yan Nan, which coincides with our second pot of tea."
Dongfang Sansan said, "Over this long period, you should have learned something about the top figures in the Only Righteous Sect. So, the second pot of tea is about your views on these top figures in the Only Righteous Sect. Even if you only know a little, try to share your own insights."
He chuckled softly, "Because you also know that I am here to teach you. The reason I listen to you first is to tailor the teaching to your level."
Fang Che's expression became increasingly serious.
During the first pot of tea, Nine Sir was just chatting.
But with the second pot of tea, it turned into a lesson.
to the change in wording is obvious. Fang Che realize something, he must be out of his mind.
otherwise, his brain must be broken.
"I don't know much about the top figures of the Only Righteous Sect."
he is very capable."
dealing with the Only a few people."
," Fang Che said frankly.
"This is a rare opportunity, and I will cherish it."
Dongfang Sansan will take full advantage of this opportunity."
he said, straightening his posture.
"Please don’t be like this. First, have a cup of tea. Don’t waste this opportunity."
"Yes," Fang Che picked up the cup and drank it all in one go.
.
"This question seems a bit premature, but after we part ways, the next time we meet might be unimaginably far. So I must explain it to you. This isTheFirstPoint."
Dongfang sansan slowly continued, "The second point is... with your new position, your perspective and scope must broaden... no longer limited to a small area. So you will have many opportunities to meet the top figures in the Only Righteous Sect. But these people have peculiar personalities, and a poor response can greatly affect your undercover work. So you must know in advance."
"The third Point is... your current actions..."
Dong fang san pondered a bit, simply put, That is, too rough."
Fang Che felt a black line on his forehead. "So, I must also let you know the future enemy's power. Let you do things more... Smoothly. Don’t think having the Five Spirit Toad means absolute safety. This thought... absolutely unacceptable!"
Dong f ang san-nodded and raised the tea pot, "So... you understood ?"
Fang Che nodded his head like a chick pecking.
"Too rough..."
Sigh, I hear these three words again.
Dong fang san raised the tea pot and poured tea for him. Fang Che did not dare to move, But felt a needle under his buttocks.
Restless.
Too rude! Cannot bear it.
But Dong f ang San did not allow him to move, he could not move.
Because he knew, though Nine Sir had never shown his martialpower, he was probably unable to fight...
"About the OnlyRighteous Sect’s Supreme leader, Dong Zhen Xing He, and the first deputy leader, Heaven Supporting Hand Feng Du, since they are not here, we will skip them. Let's start with Yan Nan."
Dong f ang San indicated drinking tea, "But first, we must clarify one question, the OnlyRighteous Sect’s stance."
"The first to clarify... the OnlyRighteous Sect and the Guardian can never reconcile their enmity.
Even without the Five Spirit Toad, it's impossible."
Dongfang Sansan spoke these words with great solemnity.
Each word was like a chime of gold and stone.
But he didn't explain the reason.
Fang Che solemnly said, "Yes!"
Dongfang Sansan then said, "Yan Nan, the current Chief of Operations, is the Second Deputy Leader, but the power is now in his hands."
"Zheng Yuan Dong led his seventeen brothers to conquer the world, Yan Nan was among them, ranked fifth. Known as Yan Wu, he was the strategist among the brothers."
"Zheng Yuan Dong led the overall situation, but the development of the original sect, various plans, including combat, construction, rear support... all of these were established by Yan Nan."
"Finally, the Righteous Only Sect was established, with eighteen brothers, only ten remained. Besides the Leader Zheng Yuan Dong, the other nine were known as the Nine Demon Lords."
"The first is Tuo Tian Shou, the third brother, ranked second in the Righteous Only Sect, and the first Deputy Leader."
"The second is Jing Hun Zhang, Yan Nan, the fifth brother, ranked third in the Righteous Only Sect, and the second Deputy Leader."
"The third is Fen Hun Zhen, Bi Changhong, the sixth brother, ranked fourth in the Righteous Only Sect, and the third Deputy Leader."
"The fourth is Wu Xin Ren, Chen Gu, the seventh brother, ranked fifth in the Righteous Only Sect, and the fourth Deputy Leader."
"The fifth is Bing Po, Bai Jing, the eighth brother, ranked sixth in the Righteous Only Sect, and the fifth Deputy Leader."
"The sixth is Ye Xiao, Wu Xiao, the ninth brother, ranked seventh in the Righteous Only Sect, and the sixth Deputy Leader."
"The seventh is Yun Duan Ke Qing, Yu Han Yan, the tenth brother, ranked eighth in the Righteous Only Sect, and the seventh Deputy Leader."
"The eighth is Ba Wang Bian, Xiang Bei Dou, the twelfth brother, ranked ninth in the Righteous Only Sect, and the eighth Deputy Leader."
"The ninth is Ying Zhong Wang, Xiong Jiang, the sixteenth brother, ranked tenth in the Righteous Only Sect, and the ninth Deputy Leader."
Dongfang Sansan sighed and took a sip of tea.
He knew these names like the back of his hand.
Throughout the conversation, not a single sound was made.
"These ten people, who once stirred up the entire world, were filled with dark and chaotic energy. Moreover, the most frustrating thing is that the Leader is invincible!"
"Even if Xue Fu Xiao, Yu Tian Qi, and Rui Qian Shan joined forces, they wouldn't be able to last a hundred moves!"
"Hiss!
Fang Che's eyes widened in surprise, and he drew in a cold breath.
He didn't want to lose his composure like this.
But after hearing these words, he couldn't help but react.
"That was the most frustrating time for the Guardians... because as soon as we gained the upper hand, Zheng Yuan Dong would come out and mess things up."
"Just when we had him suppressed, he would appear again. The good situation would instantly vanish."
"Just as we were about to finish off a Deputy Leader, or a Demon Lord of the Righteous Only Sect, Zheng Yuan Dong would show up..."
Fang Che understood, "So you used the strategy of cutting off descendants and exterminating the family?"
Dongfang Sansan sighed, and looking at Fang Che with some surprise, he said, "You really know quite a bit? Yes, it was because of this that I adopted that poisonous strategy. Forcing him to defy the heavens and fight the gods, he disappeared without a trace."
"That strategy, it's heaven and earth. But if I didn't do that... there would be no hope."
Dongfang Sansan sighed deeply, "The sacrifice under that strategy, is a hurdle I can't get over in this life."
Fang Che couldn't help but sigh lightly.
He understood very well.
But precisely because he understood, he couldn't find a way to console.
"The current situation..."
Dongfang Sansan looked up, and a hint of smoke and clouds flashed in his eyes as he said softly, "Fang Che, if we truly have a day of victory... don't forget the heroic souls of our predecessors."
"Yes!"
Fang Che stood up solemnly and agreed earnestly.
"Now, let's talk about Yan Nan."
Dongfang Sansan's thoughts returned, and his eyes instantly became as clear as ice and snow.
"Yan Nan, he is a pure Jianghu man. He is straightforward and doesn't tolerate sand in his eyes. He may not be a gentleman, but he is a good man."
"Once you look someone in the eye, even if they are enemies, you will eventually fight to the death. But it doesn't affect the brief moment of mutual understanding and respect, and you can make a friend."
"But his vigilance always exists."
"He keeps his promises, and has his own rules and responsibilities. He may not be open and upright, but he has his own sense of honor."
"If it's not necessary, he won't kill indiscriminately. But if it's necessary, he won't hesitate to kill the innocent. That's why I once told Xue Fu Xiao and Rui Qian Shan about Yan Nan, saying that he is half a good man."
Dongfang Sansan said, "So, the key to dealing with Yan Nan is, loyalty! Unreserved! Righteousness, and responsibility!"
Fang Che scratched his head, "Righteous Only Sect, and loyalty?"
Dongfang Sansan said, "Why not?"
Fang Che was speechless.
"Yan Nan and the others have already realized the harm of the Five Spirit Toad. But that is the foundation of the Righteous Only Sect. So they have always been trying to control the evil thoughts."
Fang Che was puzzled, "If you control the evil thoughts, aren't they good people then? Why fight?"
Dongfang Sansan showed a helpless smile on his face and said, "They only want to control the evil thoughts of the Five Spirit Toad, not their own evil thoughts."
"In simple terms, it's just one sentence: I want to kill because I want to kill! Not because the evil thoughts of the Five Spirit Toad make me kill!"
"I want to kill those I don't like, but because the evil thoughts of the Five Spirit Toad make me kill, I feel uncomfortable! Frustrated!"
"I do what I want because I want to do it, not because others ask me to... Do you understand now?"
Dongfang Sansan nodded.
"I understand."
Fang Che was speechless.
Dongfang Sansan said, "Then, how should we deal with Yan Nan?"
"Loyalty! Unreserved! Righteousness, and responsibility!"
Fang Che said these words.
I was truly at a loss for words.
Not only was it for the sake of the Only Righteous Sect, but I also felt like a mere elementary school student.
Had I already lost Nine Lord's trust to this extent?
Dongfang Sansan nodded in satisfaction, "Just remember that."
Fang Che couldn't help but wipe his face with his hand.
"Next is Bi Changhong, the Soul Splitting Needle. After analyzing this person multiple times, we've concluded that his personality is extremely complex, as if multiple personalities were combined into one."
Dongfang Sansan explained, "Bi Changhong is sometimes straightforward and carefree, valuing loyalty and righteousness. At other times, he's selfish and self-serving, petty and unscrupulous. Occasionally, he's open-minded and carefree, unbothered by anything. But then, he can be narrow-minded and vindictive, holding grudges for years over the slightest offense. Sometimes, he's magnanimous and forgiving, but at other times, he's vengeful and merciless."
Fang Che was left speechless.
Could there really be such a person in this world?
Just listening to Dongfang Sansan's description made him feel like this person was beyond comprehension.
Are you sure you're talking about one person?
"You must be extra cautious with this person. Because when his personality is off, no matter what you do, it will be wrong! And during those times, no matter what you do, it will provoke his anger. He might kill you on the spot, or later, with a single command, he could put you in a life-or-death situation!"
"
Dongfang Sansan smiled.
"I remember now," Fang Che realized.
"Yes, that's the incident. After the incident, Bei Ming Xin was left in a state of true life-and-death crisis, unable to live or die, yet still holding onto his position."
"It's said that now, even when Bei Ming Xin drinks water in his position, there are reports of him embezzling funds."
Dongfang Sansan's eyes were filled with laughter. It was clear he was taking pleasure in others' misfortune.
This opened Fang Che's eyes: even the Ninth Master could take pleasure in others' misfortune.
Dongfang Sansan replied, "Because Bi Changhong suspects that Bei Ming Xin deliberately embarrassed him, making him lose face in front of so many people..."
"..."
Fang Che was truly speechless.
Recalling that moment now, did Bi Changhong lose face? I don't feel that way.
How did it suddenly become like this...?
"It's said that Bei Ming Xin's family suffered because of this. Even his sect, disciples, and others... all suffered the same fate, facing various forms of suppression."
Dongfang Sansan continued.
Fang Che was even more speechless.
"When facing Bi Changhong, flattery is useless, showing loyalty is useless, and even great achievements are useless. But if you dare to criticize him, you'll die immediately."
Dongfang Sansan sighed, "Fortunately, his personality only affects those close to him. If he were to control the sect, even I would get a headache. Because he doesn't follow any logical pattern!"
"So, how should I deal with him?"
Fang Che asked sincerely, genuinely at a loss for how to handle such a person.
He was completely bewildered. From what he had heard so far, it seemed like whatever he did would be wrong!
"The only advantage you have in front of Bi Changhong is that after the Five Spirit Toad incident, he appreciated you. But it's impossible to be certain if he still remembers..."
Dongfang Sansan also looked troubled, "So, when dealing with Bi Changhong... the only option is to observe his mental state carefully when you truly can't avoid encountering him, and then adapt accordingly. But be cautious; when he's not in a straightforward and open-minded mood, don't mention how he appreciated you during the Five Spirit Toad incident."
"I understand."
"Bi Changhong is currently at a critical juncture, plagued by his narrow-mindedness. He's excluded Duan Xi Yang from their blood brother relationship, creating a grudge spanning tens of thousands of years! It's said that every once in a while, when Bi Changhong is in a good mood, Duan Xi Yang beats him up, and it's especially satisfying. But when Bi Changhong is narrow-minded, he might drive Duan Xi Yang to anger."
Dongfang Sansan laughed.
Fang Che was puzzled, "Why specifically choose the times when he's in a good mood?"
"Because when he's in a good mood, he'll regret his actions and feel like he's done wrong. That's why it's especially satisfying for Duan Xi Yang to beat him up. But when Bi Changhong is narrow-minded, he might drive Duan Xi Yang to anger instead."
"..."
Fang Che was speechless.
This... was truly beyond words.
"There's more. I suspect that Bi Changhong has two personalities and thoughts merged into one body... His martial arts styles are also completely different. Whether this is the case or not, there's currently no evidence."
Dongfang Sansan explained, "That's why he's called the Soul Splitting Needle. This 'soul splitting' doesn't mean he splits others' souls; it's his own soul that's split."
"I see."
Fang Che finally understood.
"Next is the Heartless Man, Chen Gu. Chen Gu has a deep and sinister personality, with hidden motives. He doesn't trust anyone except his brothers, and he won't trust any subordinates. In his eyes, there's only profit or victory. So, although he appears elegant and not brutal, he's a true demon who can be capricious and slaughter countless lives."
These two chapters will likely require countless reviews in the future.
