"I originally thought that things would be simpler if I asked for it, but who would have thought that someone would stab me in the back and almost ruin my plan." Zhan Taiyu looked embarrassed and spoke with a wry smile.
"The Western Holy City is somewhat chaotic. It may seem prosperous and peaceful, but in fact, every night, there is a shocking change. Everything will proceed in an orderly manner at night. This is also a major feature of our Western Holy City."
As he was speaking, the weather outside suddenly changed again. Dark clouds gathered in the sky. The dull oppression brought a feeling of irritability. The sound of rumbling thunder came from afar and fell into the Holy City of the West.
The sudden strong wind stirred up thick smoke on the ground, but before the smoke could completely disperse, it was washed away by the raindrops as big as beans and returned to the surface.
Feng Qingyang didn't say anything. He looked at the weather outside the courtyard. The weather changed suddenly, just like a person's face. It seemed like a clear sky, but in fact it could turn into a storm in an instant.
After a while, he looked back at Zhan Taiyu and said, "It seems that I was too optimistic. When I first came here, I was infected by your enthusiasm. If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have known that this famous Western Holy City would be like this."
"It's not because of this. It's mainly because of my cousin. The Zhan Tai family is now divided into two factions, and my faction has more guest officials. He may feel that it is unfair, so he wants to suppress me, and the clan leader actually believed in slander and acquiesced to his practice." At this point, Zhan Taiyu's calm heart became angry again.
"Then do you know what is fair? But the patriarch of your Zhan Tai family is very smart and knows how to strike a balance." Feng Qingyang spoke lightly, with a profound meaning in his words.
"Thank you for your kind words, fellow Daoist..." Zhan Taiyu felt even more embarrassed. He naturally heard another meaning in Feng Qingyang's tone.
“The mountains are not level, the land is not level, and there is no absolute equality among all living beings. They are also divided into different levels, even the starry sky where we exist. It’s like you are a powerful person in the Western Holy City, but do the human cultivators here have the same status and qualifications as you
There is no fairness in this world. If you really want fairness, there is only one way, which is to use your powerful strength to eliminate the unfairness. Only in this way can you achieve fairness. "
Feng Qingyang spoke lightly and casually, but the listener took it seriously, especially his last sentence, which fell into Zhan Taiyu's ears and shook his whole soul.
Such an answer and thought undoubtedly overturned Zhan Taiyu's point of view, shaking his mind and making him unable to calm down for a long time. His fluctuating heart was like the hand holding the teacup, which was trembling slightly.
"Look at the previous rainstorm. The earth and the dust are originally one and the same. They are also equally important. The wind blew it up, but before it could really fly up, it was pressed back to the ground by the rainstorm. All of this is under the heaven and earth. All living beings are like clouds. Where is the fairness?"
Zhan Taiyu was stunned, and looked back at the dust in the courtyard and the earth that was still being slowly washed by the heavy rain. His eyes were bright and thoughtful.
"Brother Zhan, do you understand that if fairness is needed, there is only one possibility, and that is that a kind of power is needed, an absolute power that can help those who are unfair to resist, so as to strengthen oneself and thus obtain fairness." Feng Qingyang said casually, looking down, and he didn't know when the teacup was empty.
There was a hidden meaning in what he said, and Feng Qingyang did it on purpose. Originally, he had no interest in this place, but Zhan Taiyu's complaints this morning and the information revealed in his subconscious mind suddenly made him think of something.
The reason why he came here and was arranged to stay in a courtyard where a woman once lived, instead of in a VIP mansion, was not what Zhan Taiyu intended. There must be someone secretly making things difficult for him.
Not only that, he also smelled a hint of fish in this, as if he was caught in a good show. The Zhan Tai family, which seemed powerful to outsiders, was not a solid block.
If he guessed correctly, the reason why Zhan Taiyu recommended him as a guest official was not only because he could gain benefits, but most importantly, he saw his own strength.
And he needed this strength to do something for himself, to overcome some difficulties, and then pave a smooth road for him. The end of this road, that is, the top, is the throne of the patriarch.
All of this was just Feng Qingyang's guess. Although it was not very accurate, it was almost right. Looking at Zhan Taiyu's expression at this moment, Feng Qingyang became more certain of his inner thoughts.
"In fact, it would be a great thing if the Zhan Tai family could pay attention to you." Feng Qingyang said casually, and as he spoke, he raised his hand to fill the tea for Zhan Taiyu.
Two eyes looked at him with sparkling eyes. This had already been said to such an extent that if Zhan Taiyu still couldn't understand, it would be really disappointing.
He looked at Zhan Taiyu deeply, his eyes were gentle, no expression could be seen, still as calm as water, seemingly normal, but in fact, extremely sharp and weird.
Zhan Taiyu's whole body was shocked. He naturally understood what Feng Qingyang said. His mind was confused. He never thought that the other party could infer such a thing just from his little complaint. This kind of shrewdness was terrifying.
"Brother Zhan Taiyu, do you need me to smooth over some things that you think are unfair?" Feng Qingyang smiled slightly, raised the cup to Zhan Taiyu, tilted his head back and swallowed the tea in his hand in one gulp.
Zhan Taiyu pondered for a moment, finally gritted his teeth, swallowed the tea in the cup, looked at Feng Qingyang who remained calm beside him, suddenly stood up, and bowed deeply to him.
"If you help me reach the top, my Zhan Tai family will remember your great kindness." He said it ambiguously. He wanted to get Feng Qingyang's help, but he didn't want him to really get involved with the Zhan Tai family.
Feng Qingyang was so smart. He didn't fancy the small Zhan Tai family. He only wanted the information of the local snake, and he could use others to find out the news about Yanhuo. After all, the matter was of great importance and could not be sloppy. Yanhuo was the last thing. Without Yanhuo, the boundary bead would be useless. Therefore, he was determined to get Yanhuo and would not allow any mistakes. Otherwise, how could he rack his brains to help this little Zhan Taiyu
Moreover, as the seventh disciple of the Nine Heavens Palace and the son of Feng Shui of the Ghost King Sect, how could he look down on this small Zhantai family? Even if the entire demon clan area was given to him, perhaps he would not care.
After all, how can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan? His ambition is to be in the universe!
Feng Qingyang stood up, straightened his slightly wrinkled robe, and walked into the yard. The heavy rain had just stopped and there was a freshness in the air.
