Chapter 809: Blessing of the Goddess
Since the start of the Goddess Festival, it looked like Goddess City’s law and order were being maintained by a handful of elite disciples only. Frankly, it was slightly unbecoming of a sect of their stature.
That was just a facade, however. The fact was that almost no one had dared to start any sort of trouble within Goddess City, and those who tried faced the consequences swiftly and mercilessly. This proved that Goddess City was far more capable than they pretended to be.
Besides, he had sensed multiple elites’ presences in key areas of the inner city when he was touring the place earlier. In fact, he could sense at least two Truemen watching over the Goddess Festival from the shadows right now. He was sure there were more hiding where his senses could not reach.
The Goddess Festival had been held for several decades. There was a saying that went something like this: “If you walk the rivershore everyday, then it is only a matter of time before you wet your shoes.” There was no way that he and Feng Qingyou were the first people to notice that something was amiss with Goddess City, and yet the Goddess Festival had never been interrupted, and their dark secret had never been exposed. There was only one explanation behind this, and that was that Goddess City had resolved all the issues by their own power. And how did they resolve the issues? By killing and burying all who dared to oppose them, of course.
This wasn’t something a powerless sect could achieve, and no matter how strong he and Feng Qingyou were, they were only two people. Before one carries out a heroic deed, they must first measure their own worth. Someone who threw themselves into danger without considering even something so simple was just a reckless idiot.
Ye Qing had weighed his strength against Goddess City and arrived at a swift conclusion. He decided that he wasn’t going to do anything at all.
Feng Qingyou giggled a little. “Hahaha, a wise man puts his own safety before matters of principle, but it looks like you’ve forgotten that you are a member of the jianghu. Sometimes, the jianghu moves you whether you like it or not.”
“Hmm? What do you mean by that?” Ye Qing lifted his eyebrows.
“Nothing. It’s just a passing remark,” Feng Qingyou replied calmly.
