Chapter 1153 - 30: Feng Zhaoyang Arc (13)
Feng Zhaoyang walked down the street, and he really admired Yuchi. After all, Yuchi had just arrived in the state capital, unfamiliar with the place and people, yet he managed to sort things out with Li Niantao first, and now he was mingling with the loose cultivators at Celestial Craft Workshop. It was puzzling how Old Yuchi managed it.
"Wan Qishang is quite good-looking, and she seems to have that shy, girlish demeanor. Her talent isn’t bad either. I wonder what happened between her and him that she actively sought out that old thief Zong. Has she truly been entirely conquered by old thief Zong’s side?"
"But these things are trivial. He hasn’t seen my ex-wife; she’s the epitome of excellence. Could he possibly win over my ex-wife?"
"No way."
Feng Zhaoyang still loved his ex-wife very much, but she was, after all, a woman from a prestigious family. If one were to simply say she was unfaithful, it might be a bit harsh, considering his cultivation level couldn’t be hastily improved. He had consumed many elixirs to increase his spirit root before, but spirit roots are like strengthening mechanics in some games.
Strengthening is about probability, and there’s no concept of a "cushion." Otherwise, one could use two elixirs as a "cushion" before taking another elixir. It’s entirely about whether one has the luck, and judging by the current situation, his luck is simply bad.
No matter how much he tried, his talent couldn’t soar high, leading to his ex-wife becoming close with the elders, leaving him with no solutions at all.
"Alas, if old thief Zong truly conquers my former wife, I might experience a different kind of satisfaction."
"So let her be so proud."
"Didn’t my brother finally sort her out directly? Hahaha."
If Yuchi knew Feng Zhaoyang’s current thoughts, he would definitely call Feng Zhaoyang a lunatic. What kind of mental leap was this? Is it because he’s lived too long, and many commonplace things no longer excite him that he seeks thrills?
What’s up.
Were you really standing by and intensely observing while we were cultivating with your ex-wife? Wow, this group of cultivators is so shameless, even more than a senior disciple!
Humming a small tune leisurely, Feng Zhaoyang felt extremely relaxed. Having dealt with Wan Qishang’s affairs, he now had to return to Celestial Craft Workshop.
He was hoping that Celestial Craft Workshop would give him a lift, allowing him to reclaim his former glory. So now, he had to catch up with Wang Haoran, who was a prominent figure in Celestial Craft Workshop, not just because of his position, but also due to his wisdom. He surely had a good head on his shoulders.
An hour later, amidst a chorus of complaints from the young sister in the carriage, Feng Zhaoyang returned to Celestial Craft Workshop. He didn’t know where he’d bought a chicken leg from, but as he walked, he pondered the situation at the inn: "Considering the relationship between Wan Qishang and Zong the dog thief, and Wan Qishang’s previous proactive attitude, the inn must be battered by wars and filled with gunfire. I just wonder about the inn’s actual quality."
"Maybe I should seek out some firefighting organizations? Let them extinguish these flames of passion?"
"Hahaha."
Feng Zhaoyang’s thoughts ran wild, but he felt incredibly relaxed. When he finally found Wang Haoran, Wang Haoran was holding a piece of paper.
Initially, Feng Zhaoyang intended to see if Wang Haoran had anything for him to do; he’d help with it. However, as soon as he entered, he noticed Wang Haoran’s cautious gaze from afar.
This gaze was different from what he knew before, as he had known Wang Haoran for a long time, but it was the first time he saw such restrained eyes in Wang Haoran, as if handling a very serious matter. No matter, he needed something that would let Wang Haoran value him.
So what was up with Lord Wang? Curious, Feng Zhaoyang approached Wang Haoran with a bow: "Lord Wang, I’ve delivered Wan Qishang directly to Brother Zong. They’re having a meal at the inn now. I don’t know the outcome yet, but you can rest assured. Although we joked about Brother Zong having something with Wan Qishang, Brother Zong is a calm man."
Isn’t that right? Not just Wan Qishang, even Li Niantao earlier didn’t have any definitive control over Old Yuchi. Yuchi could effortlessly leave Li Niantao, let alone Wan Qishang who appeared suddenly. There’s undoubtedly no problem.
But men are just joking around; such jokes are harmless.
After Wang Haoran nodded slightly, he collected himself a bit. Then, he suddenly posed a question to Feng Zhaoyang: "Sect Leader Feng, how much do you know about him?"
Wang Haoran still maintained a serious expression, and the deep contemplation hidden in his eyes was evident, which instantly made Feng Zhaoyang calm down, prompting him to think quickly and counter-question: "Him? Are you referring to Zong Liangqing, Lord Wang?"
