Chapter 685: Why Do You Bear the Surname Fang? [Two-in-One]
Chapter 685: Why Do You Bear the Surname Fang? [Two-in-One]
The lecture comes to an end.
From start to finish, it lasted less than an hour.
However, this topic could spark discussions among the students for a long time!
Moreover, Fang Che's every word will cause a huge stir in the future.
Today's lecture, when interpreted from any perspective, can be used to understand Fang Che's speech.
Because this speech is applicable in Guardian Continent, and it is equally applicable in the Only Righteous Sect.
"In that case, I bid you farewell."
Fang Che spoke.
Qin Fengyun pleaded, "Team Leader Fang, stay for a meal, please? Give me a chance."
Meanwhile, Luo Hao looked up in surprise.
Fang Che paused and said, "I have an appointment in the evening. I'm meeting with the Night Emperor, so I'm afraid..."
He originally wanted to refuse outright.
But for some reason, such ungracious words couldn't be spoken, and instead, he apologetically explained, "Then, let's accompany Team Leader Fang for a pot of tea, how about it?"
Qin Fengyun spoke.
Fang Che hesitated, and Luo Hao took a step forward, pleading, "Team Leader Fang, just a pot of tea! Just one pot!"
Fang Che's heart softened, and he said, "Alright!"
The two of them smiled, "Thank you!"
The two of them eagerly invited Fang Che, and they headed towards the tearoom. Two Vice Chancellors accompanied them.
As they walked, several people came out from the adjacent room. Monarch Jiang Shangou clapped his hands and said, "Team Leader Fang's lecture was excellent. Let's go for tea together."
The other Monarchs looked bewildered.
Qin Fengyun seemed unconcerned and waved his hand, "Monarch Meng He, you don't need to go. Brother Six, push Brother Seven's wheelchair."
Monarch Meng He's eyes widened, how... I don't need to go? After waiting for so long to have a cup of tea, I'm told I don't need to go?
Then where should I go?
Monarch Meng He stopped and watched as the group surrounded Fang Che and left.
Fang Che had already seen himself, but before he could pay his respects, Qin Fengyun pulled him away.
Monarch Meng He said, "...After all, I was once the Dean of White Cloud Martial Academy, and now the students of White Cloud Martial Academy are giving me their respects... You're actually pulling me away?"
Upon reaching the tearoom, Qin Fengyun arranged, "Mi Wenqing, you're skilled in tea ceremonies, go and brew my premium Iron Leaf Tea!"
Monarch Mi Wenqing, "Okay."
The group sat around the tea table, including Fang Che, Qin Fengyun, Luo Hao, Jiang Shangou, Yun Zai Kong, Meng Chu Xing, and two Vice Chancellors from Heavenly Human Martial Academy.
Across from them was Mi Wenqing, who was in charge of brewing the tea.
As they chatted, Fang Che's actions to rectify the continent received high praise. It was no wonder he had been a Dean before, and everyone had their own insights to share.
During the discussion, every meaningful point was listed one by one, and Team Leader Fang's inspection was truly a great deed!
A meritorious service for the present, benefiting generations to come, for thousands of years, forever carrying blessings.
Qin Fengyun and Luo Hao, along with Jiang Shangou, flattered Fang Che with one compliment after another, their postures humble.
Mi Wenqing, who was brewing the tea, couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed by all the flattery.
Who would flatter like this?
Ever since Fang Che started drinking tea, he felt like he was in a dream, listening to Qin Fengyun introduce the six sworn brothers and the two Vice Chancellors.
Everything sounded very normal.
The two Vice Chancellors especially felt very normal.
But Fang Che felt like he was dreaming.
Moreover, he felt very comfortable, relaxed, and at ease. Drinking this tea, his body felt light and his mind, peaceful and joyful.
His smile became more frequent.
Furthermore, following everyone's thoughts, the future rectification and cleansing were also organized once more.
This tea session left Fang Che's body and mind refreshed.
It was as if his soul had also experienced a refreshing and exhilarating journey.
This led to drinking not just one pot but two pots of tea, discussing and chatting, their leisure time passing by.
As time slowly ticked by, the appointed time with the Night Emperor was approaching.
Fang Che stood up, "Today, I've truly gained a lot. Everyone, we'll meet again in the future. The tea was excellent, and if I have time in the future, I'll often come to find Chancellor Qin for tea, is that okay?"
Qin Fengyun quickly stood up, "Of course! You're always welcome, Team Leader Fang!"
At the door of the tearoom, Fang Che leaped into the air and disappeared in the midst of the blizzard.
Qin Fengyun calmly watched the direction Fang Che left, suppressing the excitement in his heart.
Jiang Shangou and Luo Hao received a stern warning from his eyes.
Mi Wenqing said, "Second Brother, Team Leader Fang is indeed a remarkable person, but... Your treatment of him is a bit excessive."
"Team Leader Fang..."
Qin Fengyun spoke softly, "He deserves any treatment we can offer!"
He took a long breath, as if he wanted to expel five hundred years of longing in one breath.
Then he said, "During the snow disaster in the Capital City, everyone must lend a hand, we must get through this snow disaster! After that, life will go on as usual, and as for the big matter, everyone must not let it go, continue the secret investigation."
His entire being seemed to have regained a long-lost vitality, and he strode out.
Luo Hao swiftly took action, shouting, "Gather a few thousand people and bring the vehicles. I'll clear the road ahead, and we'll transport all the snow from the city to outside the walls."
"Quickly, quickly!"
"As for the snow in the Martial Arts Academy, those who stay behind should hurry up and clear it. As it falls, you need to remove it. I don't care if you find a way to melt it or throw it out... You can even swallow it if you want, but don't leave it here!"
"..."
Nearby, Mi Wenqing and Yun Zai Kong watched as Qin Fengyun and Luo Hao, who seemed to be filled with newfound energy, along with Jiang Shangou and others, all looking bewildered.
They had a vague feeling that something was off with these three, but they couldn't quite put their finger on what it was.
"Let's get to work too. We can't just sit around doing nothing."
Slowly, only Meng Chuxing, sitting in his wheelchair, remained in the Martial Arts Academy.
"As expected, I'm left to guard again. When I wasn't disabled, I was the guardian, and now that I am, I'm even more so." Meng Chuxing sighed.
Meng Hejun quietly approached her father from behind, "Father, I'll push you."
"Mhm, Hejun... Let me see that string of bells you're wearing."
"Okay."
Meng Chuxing took the string of bells and gently shook it, causing the golden bells to emit a crisp sound.
"Ding, ding, ding..."
"So pleasant."
Meng Chuxing smiled and put the bells on his daughter, "You mustn't take it off."
"I understand, Father."
"I remember the last time my son-in-law brought me some wine that was said to be a thousand years old?" Meng Chuxing asked.
"Yes, but you haven't been drinking it, saying you'd wait until you found Big Uncle before opening it," Meng Hejun replied, "So I asked Mom to keep it for you."
"I'll open it when we get back and have a taste."
Meng Chuxing's gaunt face showed a hint of a smile, "If I don't drink it now, when will I? I'm getting old..."
Meng Hejun was puzzled by her father's words.
She obediently agreed, "Okay! Should I ask your son-in-law to come back and have a drink with you?"
"What for?"
Meng Chuxing said, "When I drink, I prefer to do it alone."
"..."
...
In the midst of a heavy snowfall, the first wine shop in Celestial Capital, Human Moon Tower, had been booked entirely.
Fang Che strolled through the snowy sky, feeling as if his divine sense had become clearer.
The vague unease and hidden worries he had previously felt had completely vanished.
He felt an indescribable sense of joy and ease.
In this wonderful mood, he leisurely made his way to the entrance of Human Moon Tower.
"Sir, our shop has been booked... Ah? Team Leader Fang?..."
The waiter was almost stunned. Oh my heavens!
Team Leader Fang, the leader of the Ten Thousand Families of Life and Buddha in Celestial Capital, had come to Human Moon Tower! What an honor! But... what should I do now that it's been booked? Should I report to the boss and kick them out? The waiter's thoughts were in turmoil.
Just as he was contemplating this, he saw Team Leader Fang in front of him, smiling, "I know, I'm the one who was invited to this private event."
"I'll go and inform them... Ah, please come in, please! With such heavy snow, you've come in person for a meal, Team Leader Fang, you've truly worked hard..."
The waiter's words were incoherent, and his face was flushed.
Fang Che laughed, took a step inside, and dropped a small ingot of silver into the waiter's hand, winking, "Tell me secretly, has the guest arrived? Which room are they in?"
"They're in the top floor, Moon Pavilion, but I... I dare not accept..."
The waiter's heart was about to explode, and just as he was about to decline the reward, he saw that Team Leader Fang had already disappeared.
Wu Daotian and Ye Wushang had already arrived.
Despite the heavy snowfall, they each took a district and began transporting the accumulated snow outside the city walls.
With their cultivation reaching the heavens and earth, the task was not difficult for them, despite the vast area.
"After we finish eating with Fang Che, we'll continue our work."
Wu Daotian sighed, "Once we're done, I'll prepare to return to Donghu Continent. I wonder how Donghu Continent is doing... This snowstorm seems to be bringing death."
Ye Wushang's gaunt and sharp face also showed a sigh, "In all my years, this is the first time I've seen such snow."
Wu Daotian said, "It's said that similar weather conditions have occurred in history, as recorded in the book 'Lord of the World'. It was a catastrophic scene at the end of the book."
As he spoke, he suddenly shuddered, his eyes filled with fear, "Could this be another divine descent?"
Ye Wushang's face paled, "Leader, are you referring to... the great changes in heaven and earth that Lord of the World experienced?"
"Indeed!"
Wu Daotian explained, "In 'Lord of the World', the autobiography of Lord of the World, was compiled by Dongfang Junshi. The final part of the book describes such an apocalyptic scene."
"But that time, it rained blood, filled with vitality, as if nourishing the earth. This time, it's a snow of annihilation!"
He sensed the atmosphere and said, "Something's not right. This heavy snow contains spiritual energy."
Ye Wushang looked out the open window at the dense, continuous snowfall and took a deep breath. His gaze turned serious, "Big Brother, although we may not be as capable as Lord of the World... If demons descend upon the world, we will fight to the death!"
Wu Daotian said solemnly, "Of course!"
His eyes blazed with fighting spirit, and he added, "If this snow continues for more than ten days... After I return and settle things, I'll go to the Guardian Headquarters, join Dongfang Junshi, and become a Guardian!"
"Because... it represents a calamity of annihilation, and the forces on the Guardian Continent cannot remain scattered."
"Ye Wushang remained silent.
But he reached out and held Wu Daotian's hands, saying softly, "Big Brother, I never thought that we brothers would have the opportunity to fight for the salvation of the world one day!"
"Little Brother, I feel honored just thinking about it! It's glorious to live, and even more glorious to die!"
Wu Daotian burst into laughter, "Indeed!"
Ye Wushang spoke thoughtfully, "Big Brother, regarding Fang Tu's recent actions, including his initial move outside the city... Did you recognize who it was?"
Wu Daotian furrowed his brows, "Your question has me stumped... In my memory, there hasn't been anyone who could use flying blades with such prowess."
"The flying blade user of Wei Wo Zhengjiao is far inferior."
Ye Wushang agreed, "That's right, so I find it strange too. However, it is said that thousands of years ago, there was once a deadly flying blade user... who appeared and disappeared mysteriously."
Wu Daotian added, "I've heard vague rumors about this person, but he hasn't been seen for several thousand years. Perhaps it's him..."
Ye Wushang said, "I probably wouldn't be a match for this person. When Ningxue Jian came, we went out to observe, and I could clearly sense that his cultivation was on par with Ningxue Jian."
Wu Daotian carefully recalled, hesitating as he spoke, "He should be slightly weaker than Rui Qianshan. I feel... he should be around my level. But I sensed a blade-like aura from him."
"A blade-like aura?"
Ye Wushang was taken aback, "A blade?"
Just then, a delightful aura permeated the air amidst the heavy snow.
Wu Daotian and Ye Wushang were both stunned.
Their attention was immediately drawn.
"Someone is coming this way... This shouldn't be Fang Tu. Fang Tu wouldn't be this cheerful, right? He should be radiating killing intent."
"That's true. It's probably just someone passing by."
The two discussed.
But that aura unexpectedly stopped in front of the Renjian Yuelou and then walked in.
"Wow... it really is!"
Ye Wushang was surprised, "What good fortune has this butcher encountered to be so cheerful?"
Wu Daotian said, "You should speak less. It's not good if others overhear."
He waved his hand to dispel the soundproof barrier.
Then, they heard a knock on the door, followed by a gentle voice, "Your humble disciple, Fang Che, pays respect to His Majesty the Night Emperor of the Heavenly Capital."
"It's really him!!"
Ye Wushang was truly shocked. He stood up, "Elder Fang, your reputation precedes you. It's a great honor to meet you today."
The door opened.
A tall and handsome young man stood at the doorway, his eyes cold and clear. He was impeccably dressed, his long robe shimmering with starlight, and the collar adorned with crossing swords and blades.
He exuded a commanding and handsome presence.
But as soon as they saw his face, Wu Daotian and Ye Wushang were both stunned.
Wu Daotian stood abruptly, his eyes filled with astonishment and doubt, "Fang... Team Leader Fang?"
Ye Wushang's eyes darted across Fang Che's face, his expression filled with disbelief as if he were dreaming.
"Are you Fang Tu?"
Ye Wushang blurted out, rather rudely.
Fang Che never expected that upon seeing him, these two would react with such excitement.
The one who was standing seemed more composed, but the skinny one who was rumored to be the Night Emperor of the Heavenly Capital had an odd look in his eyes.
"It is indeed me."
Fang Che replied, "I presume you are His Majesty the Night Emperor?"
Ye Wushang was somewhat dazed, "Yes, yes, come in, please have a seat."
Fang Che sat down, but Ye Wushang remained standing.
Wu Daotian frowned, "His Majesty the Night Emperor? You must be mistaken."
He meant: I thought it looked a bit familiar at first, but upon closer inspection, it's not him. What's wrong with Ye Wushang?
Ye Wushang turned and said, "You understand nothing... Shut up!"
With such rudeness, Wu Daotian was left speechless, almost wanting to rush forward and give him a beating!
Damn, how dare you scold me!
Although he was known for being reckless, Wu Daotian had always been the target of scolding from the group. Now, being scolded again, he couldn't take it.
Ye Wushang's eyes betrayed his thoughts, and he was different from Wu Daotian.
He had truly seen Fang Yunzheng in his youth. When Sixth Brother saved him, he appeared to be in his late twenties.
The current Fang Che was almost an exact replica of him.
However, upon closer inspection, the Fang Tu before them seemed to have a softer demeanor. His facial features were not as sharply defined as Sixth Brother's, and his mouth seemed smaller...
But the resemblance was uncanny!
Sixth Brother reached out and pulled him out of the underground cave. His gentle expression, his seemingly radiant face... In Ye Wushang's memory, even after so many years, it remained vivid.
Ye Wushang couldn't help but feel like crying again.
Wu Daotian hurriedly coughed.
"Cough! Cough! Cough, cough, cough!!!"
He coughed several times in succession.
Ye Wushang slowly sat down, but his eyes remained fixed on Fang Che's face, "Team Leader Fang?"
"Yes."
"Your surname is Fang?"
With this question, even Wu Daotian was speechless.
What the hell... Why did I come here today? Did I come to witness my third brother's idiotic moment?
His words were so damn impressive: Team Leader Fang, your surname is Fang?
Fang Che was also perplexed: "Yes, my surname is Fang."
Ye Wushang asked, "Why do you have the surname Fang?"
"Pffft..."
Wu Daotian sprayed a mouthful of tea, hurriedly turned his head, and coughed uncontrollably as he sprayed it out into the heavy snow outside the window.
Fang Che's face twisted slightly, and he said speechlessly, "My father's surname is Fang... My mother's surname is also Fang, and my surname is Fang... Is there a problem?"
Ye Wushang exclaimed excitedly, "Your father's surname is also Fang?!"
"I'm fking..."
Wu Daotian couldn't bear to listen anymore and covered his face, lying on the table.
The feeling of a combination of sighs, laughter, and speechless exasperation erupting all at once was truly complex to the extreme.
Fang Che's bewildered expression faded, and his face slowly turned grim.
His eyes gradually became icy cold.
Sharp.
His handsome eyebrows slowly furrowed, and he said calmly, "What does His Majesty the Night Emperor mean by this?"
This time, Fang Che could no longer hold back.
He stood up abruptly, visibly displeased, and said sternly, "Does His Majesty the Night Emperor suspect that my father's surname is Fang?"
He gripped Fang Che's hand.
It was understandable for Fang Che to be angry. Any man would be angry upon hearing such words. Did he imply that my mother had cheated on my father?
"I'm sorry! Forgive me!"
Fang Che's anger caused Ye Wushang to panic immediately: "There's no intention to insult you. Please don't misunderstand, Team Leader Fang."
"Then what do you mean? Are you making fun of me?" Fang Che's anger had not subsided, and his killing intent surged.
He naturally knew that his cultivation was far from being a match for this Night Emperor, but if he couldn't even dare to retaliate against such an insult, then he would truly be unworthy of being a man!
"What I mean is... Team Leader Fang looks too much like one of my older brothers."
Ye Wushang hurriedly explained.
Facing Fang Che's anger, he inexplicably felt a hint of guilt.
He quickly explained, "My older brother's surname is indeed Fang."
"You're full of sht!" Wu Daotian cursed angrily.
"I'm talking about my other older brother! The one with the surname Fang!" Ye Wushang's face turned red.
Fang Che's anger gradually subsided, and he realized that this guy wasn't doing it on purpose; it was just too unexpected...
He couldn't help but feel speechless.
Who would have thought that during their first meeting, they hadn't discussed any serious business, and yet they almost came to blows because of a shared surname!
He slowly sat down, his face grim, and said, "Your Majesty the Night Emperor, would you like to calm down first before we continue?"
Ye Wushang plopped down, his eyes wide, and said, "Even more so!"
Fang Che took a deep breath.
He walked to the window, crossed his arms, and looked out at the heavy snow outside, saying calmly, "Today... I'll be taking my leave."
As he spoke, he was about to exit through the window.
"Wait!"
Wu Daotian grabbed him, and with a bitter smile, he said, "Team Leader Fang, please don't take it to heart. He's had a weak mind since he was young... It's mainly because you look too much like someone from the past."
Even with Fang Che's full alertness, Wu Daotian still managed to grab his wrist, causing Fang Che's heart to skip a beat.
He said coldly, "I don't understand."
Ye Wushang continued to lower his head in thought, muttering, "Big brother, is this his son?"
Wu Daotian became furious, "Are you crazy? How old are you? Fang Che isn't even twenty years old!"
This statement served as a reminder.
How old was the sixth brother? How old was Fang Che?
Even if you were insane, you wouldn't be this crazy!
Upon hearing this, Ye Wushang suddenly came to his senses, and with a lost and dispirited look, he sighed deeply.
Then he stood up and said sincerely, "I lost my composure... Team Leader Fang, please forgive me. It was my fault, Ye Wushang, and I sincerely ask Team Leader Fang to not take it to heart."
After saying this, he actually bowed deeply.
Fang Che's anger finally dissipated.
Considering the other party was the Night Emperor of the Celestial Capital, and with his cultivation and seniority, for him to apologize so sincerely was indeed a display of utmost sincerity.
Therefore, Fang Che no longer maintained his aloof demeanor.
He sat back down and said, "His Majesty the Night Emperor is indeed a man of passion. However, who is this person from the past... I wonder who it is?"
Ye Wushang sighed and said, "It's a person from more than ten thousand years ago... A person who was like a mountain to me... Sigh, never mind, never mind..."
Fang Che couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.
Could they be talking about his father? Was this his father's brother from back then? Considering his father's past glory...
After combining all of Ye Wushang's words since they met, Fang Che felt that this was highly possible.
