If you make a date, you must finish it even if it means crying. If you commit a humiliating act, you must bear the consequences even if it means bleeding.
Fang Yan felt that he was a bastard. Why did he take advantage of the little advantage and take away the Qingyun Sword from the master
That Qingyun Sword!
That damn Qingyun Sword!
What's the point? What's the point
Just because of that dusty broken sword and the scrap metal abandoned in the corner, Bai Xiu wanted to kill his father and himself - he wanted to wipe out his entire family
On New Year's Eve, my uncle was forced to poison, and my father Fang Yi ordered him to be buried at the entrance of Yanziwu Village. There was an ambush at the top of Yijian Peak. Is Bai Xiu a pervert
Just because of that broken sword, just because of the gentleman's provocative words, he regarded himself as an opponent who must be eliminated? An enemy who must be killed
Besides, if you have any problem, just come to me. Why would he do such a cruel thing to his own father? How could he have the heart to do such a thing to a completely unrelated person
Thinking of his father's tragic death and his father's body being poisoned by the insect, Fang Yan's heart twitched with pain.
No wonder I hated Bai Xiu so much before. It turned out that before Bai Xiu showed his perverted side, I had already subconsciously thought he was a pervert.
"Bai Xiu, Bai Xiu, killing you is too easy for you." After knowing the truth, Fang Yan blamed himself in his heart. He shouldn't have killed Bai Xiu, he shouldn't have killed him so easily, he shouldn't have pierced his heart with a sword----
He should have suffered the most severe torture in the world. He doesn't deserve to die so comfortably.
The past is too painful to recall.
Every time I think about it, it's like whipping my soul.
"That Qingyun Sword----" Fang Yan said in a bitter voice, "Why did you take the Qingyun Sword that I asked for from you? Why didn't you tell me the meaning of the Qingyun Sword? Why didn't you speak out to stop it? Why didn't you-----take the sword back from me? I treated it as a child's play, why did you treat it as a game too?"
"Child's play?" The teacher looked at Fang Yan thoughtfully with his dim eyes and said, "Do you think it was just a game? If it was before, I would also think it was a game. Everyone in Yanziwu thought it was a game. You and Bai Xiu went to the school to apply for the position of teacher at the same time. Do you know why I chose Bai Xiu and rejected you? Because you have a jumping mind, a free and easy personality, and you don't speak or act according to common sense. You are not suitable to be a teacher in the school, nor to be a teacher in Yanziwu."
"So you chose your perverted disciple?" Fang Yan asked with a sneer. Don't make yourself sound so great, as if this is not a secret operation. Didn't you choose Bai Xiu because he is your disciple
The gentleman had a calm expression and ignored Fang Yan's ridicule.
He held the enamel mug in his hand, the tea in the mug had long since gone cold.
"From the qualities and potential you two have shown before, Bai Xiu is indeed more suitable than you-----" the gentleman said firmly. He was not trying to defend himself, but to state a fact to Fang Yan. "But, because of that incident, you let everyone see more possibilities."
"Which incident?"
"The Maple Leaf Society forced the emperor to abdicate." The gentleman said. "The Maple Leaf Society forced the emperor to abdicate. That night, you young people caused a huge stir in Yanjing. In the end, I had to use the Red Machine. Fang Yan, you must not know how amazing your performance was that night."
"------" Fang Yan just wanted to curse, 'Fuck his immortal grandmother'. I just wanted to show off once, I just wanted to harm the show-off General Ling once, I just wanted to----please Ye Wenrou and give the Ye family some gifts, but how come the final result is to get myself into trouble
Newton was hit by an apple, and he discovered gravity. Things in this world are really full of accidents.
"Life is like a chess game, everyone is playing on the chessboard. When you advance, the enemy retreats. When you are strong, the enemy is weak. You are in an insignificant battlefield, at least it seems to be nothing more than a romantic occasion at the time, but you can decide the outcome in one battle, betting yourself, the Fang family, the Ye family, the entire Yanziwu and me, killing the Jiang family, nailing them to the pillar of shame - at that time I saw through your motives and hesitated, but in the end I couldn't help it. You seemed to have calculated the mentality that everyone should have, you know I can't help it - I clearly know that it will make you successful and make the Ye family successful, but I still can't help but help you and give you a push. It's like a good word with only the last stroke left, a pot of good wine with only the last drop left - who can control it?"
"You are the winner, the Fang family is the winner, the Ye family is the winner, and I am also the winner. We won with overwhelming force and it was pleasing to the eye. The Jiang family is the loser. They lost inexplicably, but they had to accept the defeat. The words 'accepted' were not said by me, but by the old man from the Jiang family who called me and said it himself."
"Fang Yan, you definitely didn't expect that the decision you made on impulse that night would have such a huge impact, right? You definitely didn't expect that the accident would continue to ferment and truly exert its huge power and influence only after several years, right?"
"-----" Fang Yan pondered for a long time, and said in a hoarse voice: "I didn't expect it. If I had known this would happen, I would have chosen to give in, or even apologize----I don't want to play with them, and I can't afford to play with them."
Fang Yan was speaking from the heart. If he had known this would be the outcome, if he had known it would cost his father's tragic death, he would have chosen not to provoke General Ling. He would even be willing to apologize to General Ling and say "I'm sorry" to him, something that anyone can easily say - if he could choose again.
He wishes his father were alive, and he would be a cowardly filial son.
"But you finally joined the game." The gentleman sighed. "After that incident, countless people went to inquire about you, and more people began to focus their attention on you. Before that, everyone thought you were still young and a playful child. It was not until that night that everyone realized that you had grown up, and your existence brought many variables to Yanziwu. It was also from that night that I suddenly had such an idea. Maybe you are more suitable for Yanziwu than Bai Xiu?"
"I'm not suitable." Fang Yan said directly.
"But Bai Xiu thinks you are suitable."
"So he listened to you and killed my father? And he wants to kill me too?"
"I just wanted to give him a warning, I wanted him to know that he is not the only choice. I still have you and Fang Yan." A trace of guilt finally appeared on Mr.'s face. "So, when you took the Qingyun Sword, Bai Xiu reminded me whether I should ask for it back. I said no, good wind, take advantage of the power, send me to the Qingyun - I gave you this sword, send you straight to the Qingyun."
"I thought he would understand what I meant, but I didn't expect him to go to extremes. I am responsible for the tragedy that happened later. No matter what, it was me who stood you up and pushed you to the opposite side of him, making him feel tremendous pressure."
"But you should know that I have never thought about these things. I have never thought about them." Fang Yan said in a sad and angry voice. "I am a simple person. I just want to live a simple life. I don't like those conspiracies and I don't want you to fight with me. I have everything I want. What I don't want, it's useless for you to give it to me. I just hope that the people I care about are all well, without illness or disaster, and everyone lives a good life."
"What if I give you another chance?" Mr. said. "You killed Bai Xiu, and you have proved with your actions that you are a more suitable person than Bai Xiu. Now, what is your choice?"
"I refuse." Fang Yan said again. "No matter if it was before or now, no matter if Mr. is Mr. or not Mr., my attitude remains the same. I refuse."
"The world is ridiculous. Some people regard it as a treasure, while others discard it as rotten grass. It's a pity for a person to die." The gentleman said. "But, how can a person live in this world and everything go as he wishes? Tell me, if I take off this tattered fur coat, who will take over Yanziwu?"
"What do you mean, sir?" Fang Yan asked, looking at the gentleman with eyes wide open.
"No matter what, this matter started because of me. Personally, Bai Xiu is my disciple. When a disciple makes a mistake, I, as a master, failed to teach him properly. Publicly, I am the master of Yanziwu. When such evil things happen in Yanziwu, I, as a master, must stand up and take due responsibility and seek justice for the villagers. These are all very important things to do. Therefore, it is not appropriate for me to be the master of Yanziwu anymore."
"But-----" Fang Yan was confused. Is this the answer he wanted? Is this the result he wanted? If Mr. resigned from his position, would it be good or bad for him? Would it be good or bad for Yanziwu
This decision of yours truly is hard to understand.
"You haven't answered my question yet." The gentleman looked at Fang Yan with a smile and said, "If I ask you to find someone in Yanziwu to take over my mantle, who do you think is the most suitable person?"
Fang Yan thought for a moment and said seriously, "Ye Daowen." (To be continued)
