It could be seen that Qian Yu wasn't very angry at the moment. However, the disciples of Ling Yun Tower were still shocked when they heard what Qian Yu said.
"Lady Qian Yu, are you going to punish Fang Zhengzhi for trespassing into Ling Yun Tower?" The disciples of the Ling Yun Tower looked at each other and could not react to what had just happened.
However, they soon understood that Qian Yu had officially become the new leader of Ling Yun Tower. Hence, it was Qian Yu's turn to protect Ling Yun Tower's dignity.
However …
Wasn't this retribution a little too fast?
The disciples of Ling Yun Tower looked at Fang Zhengzhi, who was standing in front of Qian Yu, in shock and bewilderment.
"Mom, Fang Zhengzhi … He …" Ping Yang's mouth moved as if she wanted to say something. However, a hand pressed on her shoulder at this moment.
Ping Yang was taken aback. She turned to look at Fang Zhengzhi, only to see Fang Zhengzhi winking at her with a bright smile on his face. It was as if he did not have the anger of being kicked to the curb after he outlived his usefulness.
Fang Zhengzhi stopped Ping Yang from continuing. Then, he bowed to Qian Yu politely and said, "Auntie, how did you know that I took the Penta-coloured Flower? I remember that you weren't out of the seal at that time, right?"
"Not only do I know that you took the Penta-coloured Flower, but I also know what you did to Yang Er at the Icy Pond. That's because I've been in the Icy Pond for the past ten years," Qian Yu replied calmly. Qian Yu replied calmly. From her expression, she didn't seem to have any intention of fighting Fang Zhengzhi.
"Icy Pond?!" Ping Yang was obviously shocked. Then, she seemed to have thought of something and said, "Then, the shadow I saw at the Icy Pond was actually …"
"Yes, it was me … I could see you all the time, every day … I was also the one who taught you the movement techniques and techniques that you learned from the shadow in the Icy Pond." Qian Yu nodded as her snow-white hair swayed gently behind her.
"Then did Cang Yue know all along …" Ping Yang opened her mouth again, but she seemed to hesitate.
"Yes, she knew that I was sealed in the Frigid Pond because she had seen my shadow in the Frigid Pond before. With her intelligence, she could naturally guess it." Qian Yu nodded again.
"Frost Pond Shadow?" At this point, Fang Zhengzhi finally understood why Ping Yang had improved so quickly in the past six months and learned so many exquisite techniques.
Cang Yue …
Fang Zhengzhi didn't know if he should continue to hate Cang Yue or let her go. However, since she was already dead, there were some things that he could let go of.
As for letting go?
Fang Zhengzhi glanced at Ping Yang, then at Qian Yu. He really couldn't bear to stand between them and disturb their reunion.
"Ping Yang, have a chat with auntie. I'll be leaving first."
"Hold it right there. You haven't even settled your debts and you want to leave?" Qian Yu obviously wouldn't fall for Fang Zhengzhi's trick. She stopped Fang Zhengzhi after he said that.
"So … auntie, are you saying that … I can leave after settling my debts?" Fang Zhengzhi twitched his mouth and looked at Qian Yu with a sincere expression.
"You wish." Qian Yu scolded after being stunned for a while.
"Auntie, look … Although this is the first time we've met, we feel like old friends at first sight. As the saying goes, it's fate that brought us together. Why do we have to fight each other? Moreover, since auntie has already acknowledged me, you should be treating me as a junior, right? "
"What a glib tongue!" Qian Yu scolded again. Then, she looked at Ping Yang and said, "Fang Zhengzhi, I'll be straightforward. The Penta-coloured Flower is Ling Yun Tower's treasure, so we can't let you take it away. Furthermore, we can't let you off for trespassing into Ling Yun Tower."
"What do you want then, auntie?" Fang Zhengzhi asked.
"It's simple. Although Ling Yun Tower doesn't accept male disciples, I won't reject you since you've passed my sister's test. Therefore, you can stay. Furthermore … Since you and Ping Yang have had a physical relationship, we can't drag this on. The eighth of next month is an auspicious day for you to get married. You can do the ceremony in Ling Yun Tower first before holding your wedding in Flame Capital City," said Qian Yu calmly.
The disciples of Ling Yun Tower, including Ping Yang, blinked their eyes in shock when they heard what Ling Yun Tower said.
They couldn't react in time.
Marriage? Wasn't she going to kill Fang Zhengzhi to show Ling Yun Tower's might? All of a sudden, it became marriage. What did that mean?
"Auntie, are you forcing me to get married?" Fang Zhengzhi seemed to be a little surprised, but he was not too surprised.
After all, he was charismatic and it wasn't his first time being forced into a marriage. Therefore, he was mentally prepared.
"Aren't you willing?"
"Erm … Actually, I'm still very young. There's an ancient saying that goes, 'A man's ambition should be everywhere'. A man like me should ride on the battlefield and ride a horse into the sunset …"
"You can still fulfill your ambitions if you marry Yang Er. Furthermore, Yang Er is the princess of Great Xia Dynasty. After you marry her, you'll be the son-in-law of the Great Xia Dynasty. You'll also have a place in Ling Yun Tower. If you agree, you'll be the new leader of Ling Yun Tower after I die." Qian Yu waved her hand casually and interrupted Fang Zhengzhi's "bragging".
"That sounds great." Fang Zhengzhi smiled and nodded.
"So, you agree?" Qian Yu's indifferent face broke into a smile. It was as if the ice had melted.
"I really want to agree, but …"
"But what?"
"I've already said that I'm a man. There are some things that I don't want to rely on other people's charity. I want to fight for it myself. Also, the 8th of next month is too long. I don't have that much time to stay in Ling Yun Tower." Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.
Ping Yang's face turned pale when she heard this. However, she continued to look at Fang Zhengzhi with her clear eyes and did not say anything.
"You don't have time?" Qian Yu wasn't satisfied with Fang Zhengzhi's reason.
"Yes, I have to go to Yin Yang Hall immediately to look for someone!" Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
"There's only less than a month left until the 8th of next month. Even the wedding preparations are a little rushed. Can't you wait?" Qian Yu asked again.
"I can't wait."
"What if I insist on waiting?"
"Auntie, a forced melon won't be sweet."
"That's still better than nothing."
"Auntie, this is the first time we've met and we don't know much about each other. Shouldn't we get to know each other before making a decision?"
"You've said it yourself. Although this is the first time we've met, we feel like old friends. As the saying goes, it's fate that we meet. I think we're fated."
"Will the Emperor agree?" Fang Zhengzhi finally felt that he had met his match. Indeed, the saying that women were like wolves in their thirties and tigers in their forties was true.
"He listens to me."
"Auntie, do you really have to do this?"
"That's right!"
"Auntie, I'm not boasting. Even if you're so powerful, are you sure that you can make me stay?" Fang Zhengzhi smiled confidently.
"You're right. I might not be able to stop you with my abilities, but you seem to have forgotten something." Qian Yu smiled confidently too.
"What is it?"
"You're in Ling Yun Realm now."
"So?" Fang Zhengzhi's expression changed.
He didn't expect that. Of course, that wasn't the main point. The main point was that Qian Ye was dead, so Ling Yun Realm was a complete Ling Yun Realm now.
"Yang 'er, let's go!" As Qian Yu said that, Fang Zhengzhi felt the air in his hand disappear. Then, Ping Yang, who was beside him, disappeared.
Ping Yang wasn't the only one. Qian Yu and all the disciples of Ling Yun Tower disappeared in an instant, leaving behind a desolate and vast mountain range.
The mountain breeze blew past, and the trees formed a shade.
In the sky, the eight bright moons had already disappeared, leaving only the golden sun hanging high in the sky. The scorching sunlight shone down from the horizon, shining on Fang Zhengzhi's body, casting a black shadow on the ground.
"…" Fang Zhengzhi looked around, then at the lonely shadow on the ground. He didn't like to scold people, but he really wanted to scold them at this moment.
"F * ck you!"
…
Snow covered the ground. Even though it was midsummer, snowflakes were still flying in the sky. They landed on the ground and formed a crystal-clear frost.
Nangong Mausoleum.
It was a place that was frozen all year round.
There was only a thick layer of snow and stone tablets in the snow. They were densely packed, and the words on them could no longer be seen clearly after so many years.
Of course, there was a gigantic tree in front of Nangong Mausoleum.
In the thick layer of ice and snow, huge trees stood between heaven and earth, towering into the clouds. White flowers bloomed on the branches. The flowers had snow-white petals, and a dazzling silver light flowed on the petals, shining down from the sky, dazzling everyone's eyes.
"Do you see that?" Under the gigantic tree, a chubby middle-aged man, who was wearing a thin shirt and a piece of animal skin on his shoulder, raised his right hand and pointed at the top of the gigantic tree.
He was none other than the current head of the Nangong Nobles, Nangong Tian.
There was a crystal-clear fruit on the gigantic tree in the direction that Nangong Tian was pointing at. The fruit was filled with all sorts of cloud patterns.
Most importantly, there seemed to be an incomparably dense aura constantly flowing within the fruit, sometimes turning into trees and other times into flowers and plants.
"Hmm." The young man standing in front of Nangong Tian nodded. His green shirt had long been dyed white by the snow, and the scars on his face looked rather hideous. However, his expression was extremely determined, and he clenched his fists so tightly that soft cracking sounds could be heard.
Nangong Mu, a person who had been neglected by the nobles since he was young, was now standing in front of the tree that the Nangong Nobles had placed all their hopes on.
He didn't know if he should feel lucky or resentful.
However, he knew that this was his mission. It was a mission that had been deeply imprinted on him since he was born, and he couldn't resist it.
"Are you really ready?" After seeing Nangong Mu nod, Nangong Tian retracted his gaze from the gigantic tree and stared at Nangong Mu's face.
"Hmm." Nangong Mu nodded again. He didn't say much, not even a single word. However, the determination on his face didn't diminish at all.
"If you're not powerful enough, you'll definitely explode and die after swallowing this fruit. Even I won't be able to save you. Are you sure you can survive?" Nangong Tian's eyes flickered. After staring at Nangong Mu for a full 15 minutes, he spoke again.
"Hmm." Nangong Mu didn't nod this time. Instead, he clenched his teeth and a dense aura surged out from his body.
"Go. You're the descendant of the Nangong Nobles. Even if you're not as outstanding as your brother, you still have the blood of the Nangong Nobles flowing in your body!" Nangong Tian seemed to have finally made up his mind. He didn't ask any further, and pointed towards the top of the gigantic tree again.
"Father!" Nangong Mu's body shook violently. His calm gaze finally showed some emotion, and he clenched his fists so tightly that they turned white.
"Hmm?" Nangong Tian looked at Nangong Mu confusedly.
"One day, I'll defeat my brother with my own hands!" As soon as Nangong Mu finished speaking, he moved and leaped towards the giant tree at an extremely fast speed.
"Crack!" A soft sound was heard.
The accumulated snow on the gigantic tree was stepped off and mixed with the snowflakes. The snow wasn't very thick, but it could still be seen clearly.
Nangong Tian was stunned for a moment.
He raised his head to look at the falling snow. He didn't dodge, nor did he swat the snow off. He simply allowed the snow to fall on his face.
Above him, a figure in a green short-sleeved shirt shuttled between the trees. The snow kept falling and piled up at his feet.
"Defeat Hao 'er?" Nangong Tian's lips moved, and his eyes suddenly looked a little complicated. However, he quickly shook his head and said, "It's good to have the heart, but talent … is something that you're born with. No matter how hard you work, you'll never be able to catch up!"
The snowflakes were still falling.
