Chapter 1116 - 324: Feng Zhaoyang Arc (7)
Feng Zhaoyang was going to meet with those prominent figures tonight, which was extremely dangerous. Thus, this guy communicated with Yuchi, saying he planned to head to the State Capital’s Celestial Craft Workshop and inquire about Wang Haoran’s intentions, to see if Wang Haoran could help him, and asked if Yuchi was willing to join him.
"Of course, I’m willing," Yuchi responded in this manner.
Indeed.
He was certainly willing, as he was working hard primarily to earn some gold and silver through this matter. He very much wished to elevate the Ascension Gate to stage four before the New Year, and then take the apprentices out for a month of fun. That would be a wonderful thing, allowing for single-minded expansion of Xufu Town in the coming year.
"Alright! Let’s go over there then!" Feng Zhaoyang said, and began leading Yuchi toward the State Capital’s Celestial Craft Workshop.
"Mm, alright." Yuchi nodded.
He followed behind Feng Zhaoyang, as the two headed toward the State Capital’s Celestial Craft Workshop. But now, Yuchi felt an increasing number of doubts in his heart. So while on the train, he squinted and began calculating recent events. Being adept at organizing surrounding happenings and listing them was a strength he possessed.
"Firstly, those cultivators just appeared, and the dialogue between these cultivators and Feng Zhaoyang was quite restrained. This wasn’t due to my presence, but rather because they seemed deliberately to go through the motions. Everyone was quite restrained, even though they seemed indignant, they ultimately aimed for the outcome of tonight’s discussions."
Yuchi first contemplated the first point. The matter regarding the courtesan was not trivial. If Feng Zhaoyang truly was alone, then why would others give him face? If Yuchi were to handle such matters, would there be any need to seek out Feng Zhaoyang? Just secretly tail Feng Zhaoyang, and when he leaves the State Capital, simply eradicate him.
Still negotiating? Negotiating what?
Isn’t it just a waste of time? I don’t believe the people within the State Capital would fear someone like a former sect leader without a faction, let alone assuming eliminating him would be a way to warn others as an expression of their stance on this matter?
Yet, they didn’t do so.
No matter how viciously they cursed, the end result still showed they were aiming for the dialogue at the inn tonight.
"Secondly, when Feng Zhaoyang heard me mention Li Ruolan having Wang Haoran’s support, he surprisingly remained calm, as a sect leader, is he truly willing to share Li Ruolan with Wang Haoran? He says he’s magnanimous, but that’s just nonsense."
Yuchi glanced at Feng Zhaoyang, who stood beside him, eyes closed and cultivating his spirit, pondering for a moment.
Feng Zhaoyang had already professed his deep love for Li Ruolan, and even after I said so much, he still chose to support Li Ruolan, indicating an extreme level of love. Hence, upon encountering a rival in love, he readily reconciled, further claiming with Wang Haoran’s assistance, the matter regarding Li Ruolan was settled?
This is counter-logical, professing love on one hand, yet willing to let another man occupy Li Ruolan? Even if such men exist, they aren’t relatable to the legendary gate-obsessed Feng Zhaoyang. During the Ascension Gate Grand Tournament, it was the first time he met me, and we didn’t have any vested interests. His drunken behavior was genuine; he clearly was a very emotional man, impulsive like most emotional men.
During the Ascension Gate Grand Tournament, Feng Zhaoyang cried miserably, uttering truth like a guest confiding to the courtesan sincerely, explaining more to strangers; this is easily comprehensible.
So, concluding that something is deceiving Yuchi.
"Thirdly, Feng Zhaoyang now dares to directly seek out Wang Haoran? Why is he certain Wang Haoran would step forward to assist him? Moreover, why is he assured Wang Haoran will accompany him to tonight’s inn? Is this respect for an unfamiliar giant? Perhaps they were friends long ago?"
Yuchi glanced over at Feng Zhaoyang again, who still reclined with closed eyes cultivating his spirit, while Yuchi’s gaze gradually turned indifferent. When Feng Zhaoyang curiously looked toward him, Yuchi had shifted his gaze to a grand female cultivator.
"Hey, Feng my friend, check her out, what a fierce figure!" Yuchi chuckled.
Feng Zhaoyang immediately turned his head to look; seeing it really was a curvy female cultivator, he too chuckled: "You’re just improper, acting without integrity. If your wife knew, you’d be in dire straits, eh."
Yuchi: "What’s a woman worth? Outside, I’m the boss, hahaha."
Feng Zhaoyang: "Yo, leaving behind your wife, you suddenly grow bold, huh, hahaha."
The two laughed and chatted, following which, after being fiercely glared at by the female cultivator, Yuchi feigned indifference, standing in the train with closed eyes continuing to rest.
Feng Zhaoyang glanced at Yuchi out of the corner of his eye, holding some thoughts but more so, a sense of ease. Regardless of whether Yuchi’s purpose in coming to the State Capital was truly to seek fortune, he was nonetheless a relatively good friend. His previous advice was genuinely thoughtful, showcasing that this young man could be a friend.
