#349 - Your dean only values your things.
Watching the woman in front of him constantly berating him, Chen Changfeng stood there dumbfounded.
“Now we are in front of your parents' grave, tell me, what are you going to do about your uncle's death?” The woman glared fiercely at Chen Changfeng: “If it wasn't for you, why would a woman like me be in this situation?
Why would I lose my husband?
Why would my children lose their father?
We were originally a happy family.
Now it's all because of you, because of your accident that your uncle died, leaving us as orphans and widows.
Chen Changfeng, are you worthy of your uncle, are you worthy of us?
Even if you were to work like a cow or a horse for the rest of your life, you wouldn't be able to atone for your sins.”
Chen Changfeng shook his head, trying to explain: “I didn't kill my uncle.”
“But he died because of you, dare you say that he didn't die at the hands of those demonic sects in Cangmu Sect because he went to redeem you?” The woman hysterically shouted.
At the same time, the people behind her also began to accuse him.
Saying that he was ungrateful.
How could he say such a thing.
The other party's determined aura made Chen Changfeng subconsciously take a step back.
Leaning against his father's tombstone.
For some reason, he seemed to be pushed by his father, not allowing him to retreat.
He looked at the crowd in front of him, and Chen Changfeng said seriously: “I didn't kill my uncle, you can't blame everything on me, and I gave you so many things, I have already repaid the kindness of a dou of rice back then.”
“A dou of rice?” The woman sneered: “Without your uncle, would you have survived that winter, would you have successfully entered the sect?
It's ridiculous, is this considered repaying kindness?
That's a life, what are you going to exchange for your life?
Life for life is repaying kindness.
You will never be able to repay this kindness in your entire life.
In addition, what you said about those things, what do you think you got?
Those are things that will attract death.
If your uncle and your elder brother hadn't taken those things away.
You would have been killed countless times already.
How can you be so embarrassed to say that you have already repaid the debt?
Someone like you, who brings misfortune to whoever is with you, would have died outside long ago without us.
Now you actually say such rebellious words.
Did your father teach you that?
Are you worthy of your dead parents?”
Chen Changfeng was speechless.
He couldn't open his mouth to refute for a while.
Finally, he said palely: “But my uncle used Gu poison on me, he wanted me to die, I already died at that time.”
“That was to save you, how could you think of your uncle like that, don't you know how you grew up?
How could you have such an idea?” The woman said disappointedly.
Chen Changfeng shook his head and said: “But the Dean wouldn't treat me like this, he would give me spirit stones, teach me cultivation methods, give me vacations, and not let me hand in magic weapons.
He is willing to listen to me, and he trusts me.
He sees that I like to stay there, and he never drives me away, and he also lets me go out to help complete tasks, giving me room to move around.
The way he looks at me is different, just like you look at my elder brother.
Yes, just like the way you praised my elder brother back then.
He thinks I'm a genius, he thinks I'm destined to be famous in the world.
My father also had that kind of look back then.”
Hearing this, the woman laughed in anger:
“Is he really good to you? Makes you happy?
Fool, you are hopelessly stupid.
Do you know that the road to success is full of hardships and difficulties.
Only the road to death and depravity is covered with the fragrance of flowers.
His so-called good is just to make you fall into depravity.
Only we are thinking about your future.
Why don't you think about why he is good to you?
Because you have value, if you lose your value, will he be good to you?
You can give him things, so what if one day you can't give anything?
But we are different, we have blood ties, everyone wants you to be well, wants you to be successful.
They are just outsiders, all they want is to get benefits from you.
What you feel is just the lies they specially weave for you.”
Chen Changfeng shook his head, somewhat agitated, and said: “It can't be fake, the Dean will never be the kind of person you say he is, I don't believe it.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Changfeng stopped listening to them and quickly left.
The speed and cultivation level were by no means comparable to the people present.
Mid-stage of Yuanshen.
It would take them hundreds of years to even be able to compare to him. Seeing Chen Changfeng escape like this, the woman was somewhat surprised.
This cultivation... is much higher than before.
If it continues like this, then Chen Changfeng will become someone they cannot reach.
“No, it must not be like this.” The woman frowned.
Then she said coldly: “First Branch, it seems we have to find a way to put pressure on First Branch to release Chen Changfeng, and when Chen Changfeng is disheartened, he can still become a stepping stone on my son's road to success.”
This matter must be done quickly.
Otherwise...
They will no longer be able to control Chen Changfeng.
Mid-stage of Yuanshen, there is still time.
With Chen Changfeng's things these years, they naturally have Yuanshen experts sitting in town.
In addition, they can also put pressure on the sect.
Cangmu Sect.
Gu An had basically nothing else to do in July besides logging.
The people of the Zhuanlun lineage seemed to be doing something, but he didn't pay attention to it.
If the enemy doesn't move, I don't move.
The main reason is that he couldn't know the other party's cultivation level and needed to continue to gather information.
As for attracting foreign enemies, he wouldn't even report it to the Law Enforcement Hall.
Not for other reasons.
Just because this He Wenxiu didn't seem like the kind of person with enough scheming and city, he was afraid that the other party had long discovered that he was doing things for himself.
So the news he brought back needed to be carefully considered.
After such consideration, it was the end of the month.
That is, the day Ye Xiu and Chen Changfeng left.
As long as they don't come back, First Branch will no longer accept them.
He was confident that they would not come back.
However, an accident happened.
Ye Xiu came back.
He lay silently in the prison cell, seemingly not wanting to go out again.
This made Gu Cuo stunned and somewhat puzzled.
Pang Wen went to ask, but he couldn't get any information.
Gu An sighed and didn't say anything else.
Fortunately, Chen Changfeng didn't come back today.
It was considered good news, at least he got rid of one.
It was considered a good start.
In a few days, he would be able to arrange for Yue Han and Qing Yao to take a vacation.
After that, Gu An stopped thinking too much and began to prepare for this resource submission.
He hoped to be in the fourth or fifth place.
After that, he could stabilize in this position.
Not the last one, and not in the top ranks.
Four or five is the easiest ranking to be ignored.
Early August.
Gu An began to wait for the ranking.
In the afternoon.
He saw his ranking.
Fifth.
Good luck.
Chen Changfeng didn't come back, and the ranking also dropped.
Double happiness.
In addition, June, July, and August add up to nine days to go to Luosheng Hall.
He could take the time to go logging.
It's just that recently, there have been more and more rumors about Zuo Youyan. Besides someone wanting to take revenge on him, some people have also speculated on Zuo Youyan's cultivation level.
It is said that there is a certain possibility that he has reached the Perfection of Returning to Void.
He is a complete chosen one.
However, more people think that Zuo Youyan should not be kept. He killed people in other people's sects, and he didn't leave any old women or young children alive. This person must not be kept.
Gu An felt strange listening to this. Was Zuo Youyan so frantic when he killed people?
Why didn't he know?
This time, he was really wronged.
The sect's injustice is really hard to describe, they can always accurately find him.
The next day.
Gu An still chose to cultivate the Sun and Moon Furnace Fire.
He found that he could use Xuanhuang Qi as firewood.
The effect was good.
So he cultivated during the day and logged at night.
With the Sun and Moon Heart Furnace, the side effects of logging are lessened, preventing premature aging.
However, during his cultivation, Pang Wen brought a message.
It said that Chen Changfeng had returned.
He was two days late.
Pang Wen asked how he should respond.
Gu An pondered for a long time, feeling that Pang Wen couldn't refuse Chen Changfeng, so he had to make a trip himself.
As long as he refused him, he would likely go his own way.
After inquiring about Chen Changfeng's location, Gu An left Peak Outside Peak on his sword.
He found the man outside the sect.
When Gu An arrived, he saw a young man with his head lowered in front of the sect.
He seemed devoid of hope, with a kind of indescribable loneliness and頹廢 (tuífèi - despondency).
But there was nothing physically wrong with him.
Looking at him, Gu An frowned slightly.
Then, he approached the man.
At this moment, Chen Changfeng looked up at Gu An.
When their eyes met, Gu An felt a strange sensation, as if the other man was at his wit's end.
It was as if he couldn't be certain of his own seriousness, like a silent cry.
Gu An looked at him and said calmly, "Let's go."
With that, he turned and led the way inside.
Chen Changfeng followed him.
On the way, Gu An asked, "Where have you been for the past month?"
"I went home," Chen Changfeng said with his head lowered, "to pay respects to my parents."
"Don't you want to go out and explore?" Gu An suddenly asked.
Chen Changfeng shook his head, looking at the person in front of him, hesitant to speak.
Finally, he lowered his gaze and remained silent.
Gu An then said, "What kind of people were your parents?"
"My mother passed away due to complications during childbirth when I was born," Chen Changfeng said softly with his head lowered, "They said I was the one who caused my mother's death, but my father told me that it was a gift my mother gave me with all her strength.
She used her life to send me to see this world."
Gu An was a little surprised, but he still said, "This gift includes this world, she gave you her world too, you should go everywhere and see it.
See more beautiful things, so as not to waste her gift."
Chen Changfeng was stunned.
He was speechless for a moment.
Gu An looked back at him and said, "What about your father?"
Hearing this, Chen Changfeng replied, "My father loved me very much and worked hard to raise and teach me, but he was actually very afraid of the cold.
But every winter he didn't wear much clothing, he said he wasn't cold.
He gave all the clothes to me.
That year the snow was very, very heavy, and my father froze stiff from the cold.
He said he was going to find my mother."
Hearing this, Gu An looked at him calmly and said, "It seems your father also gave you his world, relatively speaking, you are lucky.
They gave you everything as a gift.
In return, you shouldn't be like this now,
You have never lived your life to the fullest."
Chen Changfeng felt a gust of wind blow by, and the whole world seemed to change.
In the past, all he heard was how he had killed his parents, all curses and destruction.
No one had ever said such things to him.
By this time, they had arrived at a courtyard.
Gu An's emotions remained unchanged from beginning to end, and he said, "Go in, it's easy to come in, but it will be difficult to leave later."
Chen Changfeng still went in.
Gu An watched as he disappeared into the room, and remained silent for a long time.
Finally, he turned and left.
He felt a little headache, having personally brought back trouble.
Afterwards, Gu An notified Pang Wen that Chen Changfeng's meals would be deducted for as many days as he was late.
He paused and added, "Starting tomorrow."
Judging from Chen Changfeng's behavior, it seemed that he had done more than just pay respects to his parents.
But he didn't delve into it, now that things had come to this, he should consider logging first.
At night.
Eastern District of the Outer Sect.
A fairy wearing a snow-white immortal dress landed in front of a courtyard, and as she walked, the leaves on the ground rose with the wind, clearing a path for her.
Then, she stepped inside.
Soon, a middle-aged man inside opened his eyes and looked towards the door.
He saw a fairy who looked to be in her early twenties, with a calm expression, unreadable.
"Senior Sister Xueying?"
The man asked with some doubt.
He didn't look young, almost forty years old.
"Junior Brother, long time no see, I didn't expect Junior Brother to come to this place too," Fairy Xueying said with a smile as she walked in.
"Senior Sister Xueying, what brings you, an outer sect disciple, here?" the middle-aged man asked.
"You want Gu An?" Fairy Xueying asked.
"Doesn't Senior Sister want him too? Of course, that's on the premise that he becomes the marriage partner," the middle-aged man said calmly.
"Senior Brother has a way?" Fairy Xueying said with a smile, "I heard that those of the Reincarnation lineage who get close to him are basically dead, and the Cangmu Sect is watching very closely."
"Is it difficult?" the middle-aged man said calmly, "I don't want his life, I just want a drop of his blood,
To make him willingly call me 'Lord'."
What he wanted was for Gu An to become a member of his Reincarnation.
In this way, Gu An's subsequent involvement with the royal Reincarnation would become his power.
The royal family is indeed different.
Among the Reincarnation lineage, anyone who knows some secrets would want this.
It just depends on who succeeds.
They are all in competition.
"If it were that simple, Junior Brother would have already taken the risk, right?" Fairy Xueying said with a smile:
"He sent a spy to my side, and I have already let him know that I will attract external enemies and then target him.
If I am found by the Enforcement Hall, I will expose Junior Brother at the first opportunity.
Can Junior Brother escape?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man frowned and said, "Aren't you afraid?"
Hearing this, Fairy Xueying smiled and said, "I'm not afraid, I have merit, and I haven't done anything yet, so I can probably escape unscathed."
The middle-aged man looked at Fairy Xueying with cold eyes and said, "Are you asking me to withdraw automatically?"
"No, I'm here to give Junior Brother a fair chance to compete," Fairy Xueying said with a smile, "Actually, I deliberately put myself in danger, in order to see if this Gu An can remain calm, and the fact proves that he is very calm, and has not yet informed the Enforcement Hall about what he heard.
He does have a chance to become a marriage partner.
Moreover, if he succeeds, he will definitely not be reckless.
So we really need to attract external enemies and seize an opportunity."
"Where will the external enemies come from?" the middle-aged man asked.
Fairy Xueying's eyes revealed a bright smile: "Do you think the Buddhist sect really came to cause trouble for the Cangmu Sect? They are actually chasing after a person, and this person has a magical treasure that seals a certain evil demon beast inside,
As long as you tell the Buddhist sect about him, he will definitely use it when he has no other choice.
In the past, the people of the Buddhist sect might have scruples, but this time they are close to the Cangmu Sect, and they just happened to come here to look for Zuo Youyan, they will definitely be subjected to the Cangmu Sect's anger, because there is no Zuo Youyan here, and the Cangmu Sect cannot hand him over.
Some people in the Buddhist sect are hypocritical, and they will definitely release that danger.
To teach the Cangmu Sect a lesson.
It can be said to be a rare opportunity, just provide the whereabouts of that person to the Buddhist sect.
Moreover, I also heard that there is a merchant who sells information, find her, and just watch how the situation develops."
