"A few days ago, the master uncle introduced the disciple to Master Ma Huanshan, but Master Ma did not see the disciple. When he said that he had not come to see me, the disciple felt depressed. After thinking about it, he felt that it was still because he was not strong enough, so I have been practicing diligently and I feel that I have made great progress these days. Master Fang wants to see me today. Could it be that he thinks that the disciple is qualified enough to pass on the mantle and accept me as a closed disciple?" Xia Chen rubbed his hands and said excitedly.
"Why should I accept you as a closed disciple?" Fang Qingran was stunned. For the first time, he stared at Xia Chen as if he didn't know him. He felt that what happened to this young man who his two disciples wanted to kill and then hurry up. Isn't he an idiot?
"If you don't accept me as a closed disciple, then what will you do with me?" Xia Chen was also stunned.
Fang Qingran didn't speak, and his thinking was a little short-circuited for a moment. Looking at this, this junior thought that he was looking for him for good reasons?
After a while, he shook his head and said: "I have no intention of passing on your mantle, and don't overthink it. I came to you to resolve the conflict between you, Zifeng and Fang'er."
"Oh..." Xia Chen then showed a sudden expression, his face full of embarrassment that he could have misunderstood, "It turns out that Master Fang came to me for this matter. In fact, I just have some minor conflicts with Master Yue and Sister Xu. , there is no big grudge, I have never taken the initiative to care about it. Unfortunately, Master Yue and Master Xu seem to have misunderstood me deeply. They sent their disciples to kill me several times, and tonight they even set up a killing plan to do it themselves. Fortunately, my master Han Dongyu is here, Otherwise, I won’t be able to see you, and I won’t be able to appreciate Master’s paradise in the cave. Wow, it’s so beautiful here..."
Fang Qingran frowned: "I came to them just now and told them not to attack you again, and they all agreed. So, do you agree to reconcile with your uncle and aunt? You After all, you are a junior, so although you have suffered a little loss, don’t worry too much about it, as it will naturally benefit you a lot in the future.”
"Of course I agree." Xia Chen said immediately without any hesitation, "I have long wanted to reconcile with Uncle Yue and Aunt Xu. Since you, the Patriarch, have come forward in person, what else can I complain about? What happened in the past, Naturally, it’s all written off.”
His tone was decisive, showing determination and decisiveness.
Fang Qingran was startled. He was speaking as the patriarch. He expected that this junior would not refuse, but he would probably hesitate, say something to vent his anger, and be very conflicted. These were all within his expectation, but in the end, Xia Chen still I will agree because he is the Patriarch.
But what Fang Qingran didn't expect was that Xia Chen would agree so cleanly and without hesitation, as if he had known that he would have this request.
He looked at Xia Chen and didn't speak for a long time. His eyes were as deep as the sea, as if he wanted to see through Xia Chen. In his eyes, Xia Chen could be seen clearly, and there was nothing to hide.
But for some reason, Fang Qingran always felt that he had seen something wrong, as if he had seen through something, but at the same time it seemed as if he had seen through nothing.
"Are you really willing to reconcile?" Fang Qingran increased his voice and asked again. He added a hint of majesty to his voice, and if the other party was slightly against his will, he would show a look of panic.
Xia Chen's face turned pale. This trace of majesty involved his injury, but he was still solemn and solemn, and said loudly with a serious expression: "Disciple is willing, absolutely willing, and could not be more willing."
Then, he sighed again: "When will we retaliate against each other? I would like to shake hands with Uncle Yue and Sister Xu, make peace, talk happily with each other, build a harmonious home together, and add more good stories to the family happiness of master and disciple. Alas, my life only lasts a few decades."
, just let it go, what grudges can't you let go of?"
His expression was solemn, showing compassion for heaven and earth, just like an eminent monk.
Fang Qingran frowned and wanted to say something, but hesitated. After a while, he said coldly: "Very good. Since you are willing to reconcile, then remember what you said today. If you want to take revenge on Zifeng and Fang'er in the future,
I mean, I have plenty of ways to make your life worse than death, so you can leave."
Xia Chen's face suddenly became calm. He looked at Fang Qingran and said after a while: "Of course you will remember what I said, but Patriarch Fang, have you also forgotten something?"
Fang Qingran raised his eyebrows. He didn't like Xia Chen's tone very much. It seemed that this little acquired disciple felt like he was on an equal footing with him. He said lightly: "What's the matter?"
Xia Chen looked at his clear eyes: "You just said that Yue Zifeng and Xu Fang are also willing to reconcile with me. If I take revenge on Master Yue and Master Xu in the future, it will be a betrayal of my promise. You have many ways to make them
Disciple life is worse than death, right?"
Fang Qingran said coldly: "Do you have a problem?"
"Yes." Xia Chen answered honestly, "I want to ask, if Uncle Yue and Sister Xu promised to reconcile, but secretly retaliated against me, would you make their lives worse than death?"
Fang Qingran's face gradually turned cold: "I have warned the two of them that I will not attack you again."
Xia Chen shook his head and said: "There is no point in warning. What if they take action? Am I going to become an unjust ghost and complain to you, the Patriarch?"
"Then what do you want?" Fang Qingran's face turned cold. Why didn't this disciple know what to do? "Do you want me to make their lives worse than death?"
Xia Chen shook his head and said: "How can I make things difficult for you, Patriarch? And you are their master, so I don't believe you will make their lives worse than death."
"What exactly do you want to say?" Fang Qingran said coldly.
"What I mean is..." Xia Chen said slowly, "Since I want to take revenge, you will make my life worse than death. Then if your disciples want to take revenge on me, then there should be another patriarch to let them both
Life is worse than death, this is relatively fair, and you can stay out of it, right?"
Fang Qingran patiently listened to what he said slowly, and couldn't help but feel very annoyed: "You mean you don't believe what I say?"
Xia Chen quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Master, what are you talking about? I just don't want you to be involved in the whirlpool of right and wrong. Your filial piety is a lesson from heaven!"
Fang Qingran sneered and said: "I can't tell, you are really filial. Since you want to find another ancestor to fulfill your promise, then go find him." After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and turned around.
Xia Chen shook his head and said: "No, no, Patriarch, you brought up the matter of reconciliation. For the sake of fairness, you should also find the other Patriarch. I can't do this for you, otherwise it will be disrespectful."
The master has learned the truth."
Listening to his nonsense, Fang Qingran couldn't help but get angrier and angrier, her eyes flashing: "In the final analysis, you just don't want to reconcile, right?"
Xia Chen thought to himself that I had made such a big detour, and you finally understood. He said calmly: "Master Fang, since you can't guarantee that I won't be retaliated against, what's the point of trying to reconcile?"
Fang Qingran said: "You have just promised to reconcile, do you want to go back on it?"
"My agreement is conditional." Xia Chen was neither humble nor overbearing, "I just asked Patriarch Fang. You must be fair, but you can't do it."
"My words are fair. Are you questioning my dignity?" Fang Qingran said.
"Disciple doesn't dare." Xia Chen said calmly, "Disciple just doesn't want what happened tonight to happen again. My life is also life, no worse than anyone else's. Yue Zifeng and Xu Fang are your disciples, and I am also a member of the Zhengxuan Sect.
Members.”
Fang Qingran looked at him with a serious look in his eyes. He respected his identity and naturally would not take action against an acquired disciple, but this junior really gave him the urge to slap him to death.
It had been many years, but no acquired disciple had ever dared to stand in front of him like this and talk to him without restraint or scruple.
After being silent for a long time, Fang Qingran said slowly: "I have given you a chance, but you didn't cherish it... You killed Fang Ziqing, Wu Feng, and Yu Xiulian. They are my disciples. If you kill them, it is equivalent to
If you cut off the greatest hope of my lineage, I can kill you at any time."
Xia Chen said quietly: "You have no evidence."
"This sentence is meaningless." Fang Qingran said, "To me, if you do it, you have done it, and if you have not done it, you have not done it. Any excuse to try to cover it up will only make me hate you even more.
"
Xia Chen smiled and said: "If nothing happens, I will leave." He suddenly lost the desire to talk. If he went around and said these useless things, it would be better to go back to sleep.
"I let you go?" Fang Qingran's face turned ugly.
"Master Fang, do you have any other instructions?" Xia Chen saluted.
"You, a junior, are not only rude and rude, but also have bad intentions. Staying in the sect is a disaster rather than a blessing..." Fang Qingran said coldly.
"Master Fang, these words are familiar to me. It seems that a year ago, your disciple Yue Zifeng said the same thing to me. Are you going to take action against your disciple regardless of your identity now?" Xia Chen said suddenly.
"Presumptuous!" Fang Qingran could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and said sternly, "Junior, since you are ungrateful and provoke my dignity, then I will destroy your cultivation and expel you from the mountain gate."
With a slight movement of his spiritual thoughts, Xia Chen immediately rose out of thin air and was lifted up by a powerful force.
Xia Chen's face turned pale, and he once again felt the powerful binding power of his spiritual thoughts. Compared with Taoist Zi Ling, Fang Qingran's spiritual power was obviously more powerful and irresistible.
If he compromises today and agrees to reconcile with Yue Zifeng and Xu Fang, Fang Qingran will naturally not take action against him, and will only look down upon him at most.
But Xia Chen just didn't want to agree, even if it was just a superficial promise, he didn't want to wrong himself.
Of course, these were not the last reasons for him to anger his ancestor.
The final reason is that Xia Chen believes that if he gets enough attention within the sect, then he will not be deprived of his cultivation, even if a patriarch takes action against him.
This was also a test. The test came from the doubt in his heart as to whether someone was paying attention to him.
Sure enough, a loud and deep voice rang out: "Junior brother Fang, wait a moment and do it."
