Yan Yukong is the most low-key among everyone. He first worked in Ning'an, then returned to Qing Kingdom to serve as the prefect to display his knowledge, and then resigned. Since last year, he began to sort out what he had learned, and his expertise is most solid in classics.
The Fang faction has become the most powerful and promising force among the young generation of the human race. Some scholars who support Fang's destiny think that the name of the Fang faction is not elegant, so they gave it an elegant name in imitation of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove in ancient times.
Sage of the Bamboo Grove.
Some people in the Fang school like this title, so occasionally they call themselves the Sage of the Bamboo Grove in informal occasions.
However, there are also people who do not care about this title, because they believe that Fang Xi's ultimate achievements and fame will definitely surpass the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove.
In fact, not only the Fang people themselves think so, but the outside world is also very optimistic about the Fang system.
Some even assert that the future of the Fang system is the future of the human race.
Before the literary gathering, Fang Yun sent them a letter, saying that once the issues of the Miscellaneous School were resolved, he would get together with all the people in the Fang faction.
Everyone in the Fang family knew that Fang Yun was very busy, so they didn't bother him.
This is the first time the Fang family has reunited since Fang Yun returned to the Shengyuan Continent from the Holy Burial Valley.
"Shoulu, why are you coming here instead of going to the Fa family?" Li Fanming sat on the sleeping big rabbit and looked at Han Shoulu with a squint.
Han Shoulu chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter where I sit."
"Alas, you Legalists are not fair." Li Fanming also knew that the Legalists and the Miscellaneous School had reached a deal in secret.
Han Shoulu laughed dryly and said, "Let's not talk about this matter this time. Let's just talk about the gathering of Bamboo Forest Sages and this Saint Dao Literary Conference."
Li Fanming rolled his eyes and said, "If we don't deal with the Miscellaneous Family, how can we have a gathering of Bamboo Forest Sages? At most, it will be a gathering of Bamboo Pole Useless People. Don't you agree, Zong Wude?"
Zong Wude looked confused, while Han Shoulu was secretly thankful that Li Fanming did not continue to blame him.
"This matter... is related to the Miscellaneous School. Although I am in the Zong family, I am a disciple of the Confucian School and cannot interfere." Zong Wude hurriedly explained.
Without waiting for Li Fanming to speak, Yan Yukong said, "Fanming, there is nothing in the world that cannot be discussed, but there are people who cannot be talked about."
At this moment, Yan Yukong has completely lost the appearance of the young man he was back then. He has a light beard between his nose and lips, and his figure is taller than before. He does not look majestic, and is still as elegant and free as before. However, because of his profound knowledge and the fact that he is already a Hanlin, his words and actions are quite imposing.
"Hehe, I was just joking. After all, we haven't seen each other for a long time, so I have to find some topics to talk about. Anyway, I have nothing to do. Alas, look at Fang Yun on the stage, he is really different." Li Fanming said.
Yan Yukong looked up at Fang Yun among the many people in purple robes, his eyes were particularly bright.
Han Shoulu said: "When I first met Fang Yun, I never thought he would be able to soar to the top. It's only been a few years, but he's already a great scholar in the fourth realm. If nothing unexpected happens, he will soon be promoted to the position of Wen Zong, and in three to five years, he will surely become a literary giant."
"Three to five years? Judging from his attitude, two years at most."
"It takes ten years to forge the destiny. I said it would take three years for Fang to use it. That's already an overestimation." Han Shoulu said.
"Don't forget that he just came out of the Sacred Burial Valley. Since he got so many treasures, he naturally has a lot of treasures to forge destiny. It would be easy to shorten it to one or two years."
"Yeah, that's true."
"However, the Miscellaneous Family will not allow him to become a literary giant smoothly."
“Although only the Holy Academy can confer the title of Literary Master, in fact, it has already become a realm just like the Emperor. Once you reach that realm, you will naturally become a Literary Master, and the Miscellaneous School cannot control it.”
"But if the Jing Kingdom is destroyed, how can the eggs in the overturned nest remain intact?"
Everyone was silent.
This is also a topic that everyone has been avoiding.
"I don't think it's a big deal. My family won't have much impact on the other party's fortune." Li Fanming pulled the big rabbit's ears.
Han Shoulu sighed and said, "Let me explain. First, without Jingguo, many of Fang Yun's innovations or methods of expanding the Saint's Way will lose their soil and will not be able to be most effectively verified. This is a huge loss and will inevitably slow down his path to sainthood."
Li Fanming was unconvinced and said, "He has the Blood Mang Realm and the Ten Cold Ancient Land, what is there to be afraid of?"
"Can the Shengyuan Continent be the same as the ancient land? In the Xuemang Realm, his words are followed by laws. No matter how he reforms, everyone can only obey. It's different in the Shengyuan Continent. There will inevitably be discussions, frictions, oppositions and more hardships. It is precisely because of the many hardships that we can verify whether everything Fang Yun does is feasible, and we can also constantly polish Fang Yun's holy way."
"anything else?"
"Secondly, it is the impact on his mind. The motherland was destroyed, and after you tried every means possible and went through so much, you finally failed. What will you do?" Han Shoulu said.
Li Fanming did not refute.
"Third, probably... the Holy Path was taken away."
Everyone's expression changed.
Li Fanming agreed helplessly, "This is a big deal. Once Fang Yun is forced back to the Blood Mang Realm, the miscellaneous families and major forces will have countless excuses to seize everything Fang Yun created. Everyone knows that those were created by Fang Yun, and they cannot erase the credit and reputation of Fang Yun as the creator. However, it will be difficult for Fang Yun to share in the subsequent saintly ways and benefits."
"Should we do something?" Jia Jing'an asked.
Han Shoulu smiled bitterly and said, "I have been thinking about this for the past few days, but the head of the family finally woke me up. The head of the family asked me, what do you think of Fang Yun alone if we add up all the people in the Fang family?"
Everyone knew that Han Shoulu’s answer must be “not as good as”, and they also knew what Han Shoulu meant.
If even Fang Yun is unable to fight against the Za family and is finally forced to retreat into the Blood Light Realm, the people of the Fang family will also be powerless.
Yan Yukong said slowly: "We have time."
Zhang Zhixing said nonchalantly: "I am still far-sighted. I have been learning from Fang Yun. Now the scale of the workshop I control is comparable to that of a second-rate human trading company. Yukong is right. Now we can only wait and see. When I become a great scholar in the future and control all the power of the Zhang Heng family..."
Yan Yukong interrupted him and said, "Just understand it, don't talk nonsense."
Zhang Zhixing's expression froze and he nodded heavily.
The others nodded as well.
In fact, there are already many forces trying to suppress the Fang faction, but the Fang faction is not Fang Yun's subordinate, and has close relations with various families. They are just young people, so those forces will not be ruthless.
If they spread the news everywhere like Zhang Zhixing did, Fang Yun’s enemies would definitely deal with them the same way they dealt with Fang Yun.
Therefore, Yan Yukong only pointed out the direction and did not mention the specific means like Zhang Zhixing did.
Kong De said: "Although Fang Yun will be suppressed, his life will not be in danger. This is probably a blessing in disguise. At least for the next ten years, we can't do anything. Let's see how Fang Yun resolves it."
"The Holy Word Conference is about to officially begin."
Everyone stopped talking and looked up at the platform in front of them.
At the same time, the noise in the originally noisy and chaotic conference hall was rapidly weakening, and soon it became extremely quiet, but a large number of scholars were still coming in from outside.
On the rostrum, Gao Mo, the great Legalist scholar who presided over this meeting, said with thunderous words: "From now on, people can still enter and exit the venue freely, but those who enter later can only sit in the back and cannot sit in the front to disturb others. Okay, I declare that the Legalist Meeting of the Holy Way is officially held!"
