Chapter 715: Gathering of Demons
Chapter 715: Gathering of Demons
Yan Beihan finally managed to snatch the Celestial Soft Gold and tucked it into her embrace.
"Night Demon, haha, you can speak now. I've been worried about your side," he said.
Fang Che also sighed.
"You're right, I was worried about this side."
After scolding, you pat the elders' buttocks, act cute, and be coquettish. It's rare that you can still take care of me...
However, it's also somewhat admirable.
Yan Beihan, aside from being slightly emotionally unstable when she first entered, has been kneading and rubbing, a skill that most girls couldn't learn.
What's even more impressive is that she didn't make a single subordinate sect leader feel any sense of being "neglected" in front of a group of princesses and super-old demon heads.
This is too impressive!
However, it must be said that his desire to speak has been completely interrupted.
Fang Che said, "My current concern, Sir Yan knows, but no matter how many times we say it, it ultimately depends on how Yun Shao feels about it. Why don't we wait for Yun Shao to arrive and listen to what he has to say?"
Yan Beihan replied, "Then... that's good too."
She smiled and asked Bi Yunxue, "Ice Aunt, how do you see this Night Demon?"
Bi Yunxue raised her eyes, frowned, and looked up and down at the Night Demon, her eyes flashing with a bright light.
Yan Beihan was delighted and smiled, "Ice Aunt, what do you think?"
"As long as he doesn't die..."
Bi Yunxue said, "In the future, he can be a worthy opponent for both of you, a sword bone, and a gun bone. These two young people, if they don't die prematurely, may continue the rivalry of swords and guns."
Rivalry of swords and guns!
This evaluation is too high.
Bi Yunyan and Feng Xuechenxue couldn't help but raise their heads, filled with astonishment as they looked at the Night Demon before them.
Ice Aunt had such a high evaluation of him.
The sword refers to the Severing Emotion Blade.
The gun refers to the Fragmenting Dream Spear.
"What about me?" Yan Beihan asked with a hint of arrogance, "How about me?"
"You... can also fight with them."
Bi Yunxue wasn't joking but spoke seriously. She smiled and said, "Your talent, among all the women I've seen, is unparalleled."
Bi Yunyan was curious and asked, "Ice Aunt, what about us three?"
Bi Yunxue dismissed them with a wave of her hand, "You three... forget it."
"Why not?"
Bi Yunyan was anxious, as the old ancestor had once praised her talent as not inferior to Yan Beihan's.
Feng Xue and Chen Xue were also dissatisfied and asked, "Why?"
"Just because of your inexplicable hobbies."
Bi Yunxue bluntly said, "Bi Yunyan, you actually practice dancing... this really makes me laugh. You are the descendant of the Deputy Sect Leader, why do you practice dancing?"
"And you, Feng Xue, practice painting!"
"You, Chen Xue, are even more impressive, practicing the zither!"
Bi Yunxue indifferently said, "With your faces, you dare to ask me about your future? Your future has already been ruined by your own actions! Useless things!"
These words were heavy.
The three women's faces turned red, even their eye circles were red.
"Ice Aunt," Yan Beihan tugged at Bi Yunxue's sleeve and pleaded.
However, Bi Yunxue's status was unparalleled, so why would she care about the grievances of these three young girls?
"First, let's talk about you, Bi Yunyan, practicing dancing, jumping around every day... Your family doesn't stop you, and you even listen to them. Is this the family education of the Deputy Sect Leader?"
"Why practice dancing? Dancing is for others to watch, for others to appreciate. If no one watches, what's the point? To put it bluntly, it's for others to play with. Do you expect to kill by dancing? Or do you hope that one day, the Only Righteous Sect will be destroyed, and you'll rely on dancing to earn a living? Or, after the destruction of the Only Righteous Sect, do you hope to be taken into the harem to entertain with your beauty?"
"And you two, one painting, one playing the zither, just like Bi Yunyan, can't be stronger than anywhere!"
Bi Yunxue coldly snorted, "What face do you to take to evaluate your martial path future?"
Yan Beihan spoke softly, "Actually, cultivating one's emotions... is also good, people always need to cultivate their emotions."
"Your identities make you unworthy of having hobbies!"
Bi Yunxue indifferently said, "My words offend people, but I have to say this. Moreover, I'll only say this once. With your identities, if you have hobbies outside of martial cultivation, it represents your family's abandonment of you! Remember this!"
"Today, you follow Yan Beihan and do some things, is your value being re-evaluated by others. If, at this time, you're still obsessed with those things... waiting for you, is to be a marriage tool, there will be no other outcome!"
"Do you understand your identities?"
Bi Yunxue stood up with her hands behind her back, walked to Bi Yunyan and the three women, extended her hand, and patted their shoulders lightly, saying indifferently, "You should sit high above, watch others dance, listen to others play the zither, or wave your hand, and let others paint!"
"Then casually praise and casually reward."
"That's your identity!"
"No matter how beautiful you are, how well you dance, how well you sing, how realistic you paint, how gracefully you play the zither... in the end, you're just a pile of stinking flesh! But becoming stronger in martial cultivation can at least prevent you from dying so easily!"
"Look at all the brothels in this world, and tell you, inside each brothel, there are those who dance better than you, paint better than you, and play the zither better than you. Think about it, what are they doing?"
"In my opinion, you're even worse than them. Because they're doing what they should be doing, dancing, playing the zither, and painting can all increase their worth. But you... aren't doing what you should be doing, but instead, you're doing things that devalue yourselves."
Bi Yunxue spoke with a cutting tone, "I'll say the harshest thing: if one day, the Only Righteous Sect is destroyed, and you three are sold to a brothel, your most valuable worth won't be from dancing, painting, or playing the zither, but from being able to play with the great-granddaughter of Only Changhong, the descendant of Chen Gu, and the daughter of the Feng Du Clan!"
"Truly shameful!"
Bi Yunxue turned around, sat down, and snatched the Celestial Soft Gold from Yan Beihan's hand, squeezing it in her hand.
With a smile on her face, she seemed to have never been angry or scolding anyone.
But her words were like the sound of the evening drum and the morning bell, echoing in the room.
The three girls lowered their heads, silently sobbing, their tears streaming down.
They had been scolded harshly.
However, her words were extremely reasonable, like a flash of lightning that pierced into the minds of the three girls! Fang Che, listening from the side, also felt that it made perfect sense.
Of course, he dared not voice his opinion.
But if he didn't speak up, the Cold Demon wouldn't let him off the hook.
Squeezing the soft gold in one hand, the Cold Demon casually said, "Night Demon Sect Leader, in your opinion, do my words make sense?"
Yan Beihan's heart tightened.
Ice Heaven Snow had hardly paid any attention to the Night Demon, but now she threw out this question.
Yan Beihan was well aware that, first, Ice Heaven Snow had truly recognized the Night Demon's talent, and second, this question was a test for the Night Demon.
Ice Heaven Snow's future impression of the Night Demon would be determined by this question.
And Ice Heaven Snow's status was influential enough to affect the higher-ups.
Fang Che was also a bit dumbfounded because no matter how he answered this question, he would either offend Ice Heaven Snow or the three girls of Bi Yunyan.
He had to choose one or the other.
After some thought, he bitterly smiled and said, "Ice Senior, this question... I'm a bit at a loss for words."
He tried to dodge the question with a vague response.
"Speak up! Say whatever comes to your mind!" Ice Heaven Snow said indifferently.
With a sharp gaze, she swept her eyes over Fang Che and said, "If you don't speak sincerely, I'll slap you to death with one palm!"
Was she going to kill him? Fang Che was stunned.
Are you being too frivolous with this killing? He could only think carefully and say, "Regarding Ice Senior's question, I have two different viewpoints... Firstly, I somewhat disagree."
"Oh?" Ice Heaven Snow asked.
"Indeed, Ice Senior's words are reasonable, but you overlooked one point, which is... age and nature. After all, the three young ladies are still young, and their families have the resources to allow them to choose their destiny freely, to choose whatever they like, and to do whatever they please. At this age, they are in the prime of their youth, carefree and without worries. So, at this stage, they don't even consider things like their future."
"But once these few years pass, this period of youth and mindset will never return."
As he spoke, the three girls raised their heads and listened attentively.
Fang Che chose his words carefully, "Ice Senior, you also went through this age, so you understand that women in their teens to thirties... have the right to dream. The dreams during this time are pure, beautiful, and filled with fantasies... truly like a poem or a painting. If their families were even better off, it would be a truly carefree life."
"The most beautiful age, the most beautiful mindset, the most beautiful fantasies, and the most beautiful youth."
Fang Che continued, "But... once they pass their thirties and forties... although martial artists can live for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, smiled and said, "But this dreamlike, poetic, and picturesque age will never return."
Fang Che's voice was filled with conviction and sincerity, "After this age, even if one's lifelong matters remain undecided and they remain single, they will still have many other considerations. They might take on responsibilities, face challenges for their families, or handle specific tasks... But even if they do nothing, staying at home, their thoughts will no longer be about the carefree days of their youth."
"In this regard, Ice Senior, being a woman yourself, should understand this very well."
"So, my first thought is... at this age, without delaying anything, to indulge once, to be a little willful, is not a big mistake."
Fang Che explained.
Ice Heaven Snow's eyes flashed with memories, and she looked up at the window, deep in thought, her exquisite face showing a contemplative expression.
She slowly asked, "And the second viewpoint?"
"The second... is the same as Ice Senior's opinion. These hobbies are useless. They are sustained by the hard work of their ancestors and the efforts of their parents. Moreover, in the long run, they are of no use. In this world, there is no one worthy of these young ladies' efforts to please using these skills."
"Practicing these skills for a long time will also damage their martial arts hearts. Although the families of the nine Deputy Sect Leaders have always been prosperous, ups and downs are inevitable."
Fang Che chose his words carefully, but everyone understood, "I don't know the situation of the Deputy Sect Leaders' families, but I know that among the young generation of our Only Righteous Sect, there are famous individuals. For example, Young Master Feng Yun, Young Master Feng Xing, Miss Yan Beihan, and Chen Yin..."
"I don't know about the other Deputy Sect Leaders' families."
Fang Che lowered his head and said, "But one thing is certain. If the younger generation of other families were as excellent as Young Master Feng and Miss Yan, we wouldn't be unaware of it. The world wouldn't be unaware of it either!"
"The continuation of a family line is one thing, but producing geniuses is another. One generation of genius, followed by generations of mediocrity, or even a genius after several decades... the ups and downs in between must be difficult to endure."
Fang Che paused.
His words were cryptic, but everyone understood.
"Having exceptional martial arts talent but using the most precious years to cultivate one's emotions... for oneself, it's taking responsibility for one's interests and hobbies, but for the family, it's undoubtedly a crime."
Fang Che calmly said, "I'm also a man. Sometimes, I visit places like brothels, and there are often women who come forward to sell themselves: Sir, how about a dance for you? Or, Young Master, would you like to listen to my zither playing? Or, I'm skilled in painting, would you like me to draw a portrait for you?"
A smile appeared on his lips, "Every time, I also feel... happy."
Upon hearing this, the three girls of Bi Yunyan immediately lowered their heads, their faces turning bright red.
Most of what the Night Demon said was pleasant to hear, but this last sentence was like a burning needle, piercing straight into their hearts.
They wished they could find a hole to hide in.
"So, on this point... my opinion aligns with Ice Senior's."
After saying this, before Ice Heaven Snow could speak, they heard a light knock on the door from outside.
"Good! Night Demon, well said! Very well said!"
Everyone looked up.
The door to the private room opened.
A white-robed young master entered the room, his demeanor graceful and refined, a smile on his lips, his light fur coat draped casually, and his stride relaxed.
It was none other than the First Young Master of the Only Righteous Sect.
Feng Yun, followed by Feng Yifei'er and Feng Du.
As he entered, he first paid his respects to Ice Heaven Snow, "Ice Elder, Feng Yun has arrived late. Please forgive my tardiness."
Ice Heaven Snow replied indifferently, "Alright, no need to bow. Otherwise, that thing on your body might come out and cause trouble for me."
Feng Yun's shadow flickered beneath him, and a hoarse voice spoke, "Ice Sister, when have I ever dared to cause trouble for you?"
"Alright, stay hidden. Don't scare people," Ice Heaven Snow hummed.
The shadow chuckled, "Whenever I see Ice Sister, I must say something and ask after her well-being."
And then, it disappeared without a sound.
Fang Che broke out in a cold sweat.
On Feng Yun's body... there was actually this! If...
It was truly unimaginable.
Feng Yun then turned to Yan Beihan, "Elder Yan, greetings."
"Greetings, Chief Commander Feng," Yan Beihan replied.
Feng Yun's tone was entirely formal.
Yan Beihan's response was equally formal. This exchange of formality made Fang Che truly feel the power of the Only Righteous Sect!
"Red Aunt is here too. I always see you working hard," Feng Yun greeted Red Aunt with a slight bow, addressing her with a more intimate term.
Fang Che understood that there would be no official interactions with Red Aunt.
Red Aunt smiled, "Little Yun'er has truly grown up."
Feng Yun smiled and then turned to look at the three girls.
It wasn't until Feng Yun had finished greeting everyone that the word 'big brother' finally escaped Feng Xue's lips.
Feng Yun glared at his sister, his voice stern, "Did you hear the lesson just now? I've told you countless times to ignore it, but now that you've been compared to a prostitute, does it feel better?"
"You hold a paintbrush every day. I've only scolded you because you're a girl. Do you understand your mistake now?"
Feng Yun's gaze was severe, exuding authority.
"Yes, big brother. Sister understands her mistake," Feng Xue lowered her head.
Feng Yun said indifferently, "Although the Feng family has an Ice Ancestor and elders, and I am here for my peers, that is us, not you! You must reflect on this yourself!"
"Yes, sister remembers," Feng Xue whispered.
After addressing Feng Xue, Feng Yun turned back to Ice Heaven Snow and bowed deeply, his forehead almost touching the ground, "On behalf of my sister, Feng Yun thanks Ice Ancestor for the teachings! This gratitude, the entire Feng family will never forget!"
Ice Heaven Snow asked, "Oh?"
"The teachings for my family are not taken lightly. We are truly grateful for Ice Ancestor's reprimand, without any favoritism. This shows that Ice Ancestor does not consider my family as outsiders, and this is a debt of gratitude as vast as the heavens!"
Feng Yun remained bowed, "Tonight's banquet, Feng Yun dares to represent my family and ancestors, offering a cup of wine to Ice Ancestor. I thank Ice Ancestor for breaking taboos to teach my sister, allowing her to truly find her way back... Please accept this, Ice Ancestor!"
Only then did Ice Heaven Snow smile in relief, "Good!"
"Thank you, Ice Ancestor!"
Feng Yun turned to Feng Xue, "In your life, from now on, the two people you must never forget, no matter what you achieve, are Ice Ancestor and Night Demon."
"Yes, sister remembers," Feng Xue replied.
Feng Yun then approached Fang Che, speaking softly, "Night Demon, it's our first meeting, and I'm grateful for what you did for my sister. Thank you!"
Fang Che quickly bowed, "Your subordinate, Night Demon, pays respects to Chief Commander Feng. I merely followed Ice Ancestor's lead and added a few words... I don't deserve your thanks."
"I'm thanking you as a big brother, for my sister's sake. You don't need to decline."
Feng Yun said, "Ice Ancestor represents the wisdom of the elders, but your words reflect the views of the lower classes... True understanding comes from the combination of both. This gratitude is well-deserved."
He smiled, "This is a personal matter, unrelated to official business. My dissatisfaction with you on official matters still stands."
"Your subordinate understands," Fang Che replied.
In his heart, he admired Feng Yun's demeanor and skill, truly a talented individual."
A pinnacle figure.
But as soon as he entered, his words and actions surpassed even Yan Beihan.
What was even more remarkable was that Feng Yun's words were sincere, without a hint of pretense. His genuine composure and elegance were truly rare.
Otherwise, Ice Heaven Snow, with her keen divine sense and ability to discern talent at a glance, would never have agreed to Feng Yun's toast.
It was because she could sense that Feng Yun's gratitude was genuine, not perfunctory or sarcastic.
That's why she agreed!
Only then did Feng Yun turn to Chen Xue and Bi Yunyan with a smile, "You two, remember this. Haha... Sit down, sit down."
His interactions with Chen Xue and Bi Yunyan were different.
Although he was the eldest among his peers, they were from another family, so he was careful to keep a respectful distance.
Feng Yun was qualified to reprimand the two girls, but he wouldn't. It wasn't his place to discipline a family as prominent as theirs. In this regard, Feng Yun was very clear.
So, he primarily offered comfort.
Fang Che, as an observer, deeply admired Feng Yun's ability to navigate these delicate situations, and he couldn't help but agree and admire him.
Yan Beihan's eyes shone with a bright light as she observed and learned from Feng Yun's composure and elegance, qualities she sought to emulate.
Chen Xue and Bi Yunyan both bowed respectfully, "Yes, we remember."
The three girls hung their heads, all feeling dejected.
There was an inexplicable feeling: That Fang Tu was truly a harbinger of misfortune... Just meeting him once, they were scolded by Yan Beihan, then by Ice Heaven Snow, then by Night Demon, and finally, even Feng Yun scolded them! Four scoldings in one meeting! Who could bear this?
It was best to avoid meeting him in the future.
Feng Yun laughed and sat down across from Fang Che, smiling, "Night Demon, it's truly difficult to meet you."
Fang Che quickly bowed, "It's my fault."
"How could it be your fault? It's clearly my fault," Feng Yun sighed.
"I watched as the talent from my southeast was taken away right before my eyes. I couldn't even manage to meet and stop it."
"I, as the Chief Commander, have failed in my duties," Feng Yun lamented.
"It's my fault. There were too many coincidences and helpless situations," Fang Che said respectfully.
"I will report this to the Chief Commander today," Fang Che assured.
"Mhm," Feng Yun chuckled, his voice turning cold, "In that case, I await your report."
He spoke slowly,
Word by word.
