"Shameless!" Wu Yuer was taken aback. Then, she blushed even though she did not know what Fang Zhengzhi meant by f * cking her.
However, she could clearly see the smile on Fang Zhengzhi's face. It was an extremely shameless smile.
"Qing Yi's injuries should be almost healed, right?" Fang Zhengzhi did not have the intention to explain to Wu Yuer.
"What? You won't even let Qingyi off? "
"…" Fang Zhengzhi gave Wu Yuer a look of disdain. What kind of nonsense was this? Why couldn't she interpret the words of such a pure and innocent person?
…
In the end, Qing Yi was brought here by Wu Yuer.
Ever since her identity was exposed, Qingyi no longer dressed as a villager, but she still wore the same black clothes and black bamboo hat.
"Lord Consecrator, are you looking for me?" Qing Yi stopped when she was three steps away from Fang Zhengzhi. Then, she bowed to Fang Zhengzhi respectfully.
"How are your injuries?" Fang Zhengzhi took a glance at Qing Yi and pointed at the chair beside him, gesturing for Qing Yi to sit down and talk.
However, Qing Yi didn't have the intention to sit down. She just nodded her head slightly. Then, she lifted a corner of her clothes and looked at it seriously.
"I have basically recovered from my injuries. Thank you for your concern, Lord Revered Elder!"
"…" Fang Zhengzhi's expression froze when he saw the corner of Qing Yi's clothes covering her body. Then, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Qing Yi, do you know why I left you in the Northern Mountain Village?"
"Qing Yi failed to protect me. Please punish me, Lord Consecrator!" Qing Yi knelt down and kowtowed to the ground.
"…" Fang Zhengzhi was speechless again. However, he could not blame her because he knew that Qing Yi grew up in the Shadow Sect.
She had been raised as a Sword Servant and accepted the thoughts of a Sword Servant. That kind of master-servant relationship had long since flowed in Qing Yi's blood, and it was impossible to change.
"Get up, that's not what I wanted to talk about. I meant to ask you … Do you know why I left you in the Northern Mountain … Cough cough, it seems to be the same thing. Forget it, I will say it directly. I left you in the Northern Mountain Village because I wanted you to protect my parents. However, many people could do that, why must I let you do it? Do you understand what I mean?"
"Qingyi understands. It's because Qingyi is loyal!"
"Alright, apart from this, there's another reason that has to do with you." Fang Zhengzhi knew that he couldn't continue asking, so he could only be more straightforward.
"Something to do with Qing Yi? Please enlighten me, Lord Consecrator. "
"It's very simple. I feel that you have reached a bottleneck in your cultivation. It's good that you are able to focus on your sword skills. At the same time, it's also good that your sword is sharp enough. However …" Fang Zhengzhi stopped halfway through his sentence and looked at Qing Yi, who looked humble and respectful. For some reason, he suddenly blushed and said, "Alright, actually, I don't really know much about cultivation. However, I would like to give you a suggestion."
"Please enlighten me, Lord Consecrator." When Qing Yi heard this, she knelt down again. Her face was filled with humility and respect.
"Cough cough, I can't really enlighten you. I just feel that your sword is too sharp. It only advances but does not retreat. There's an ancient saying that goes, 'the hardest sword is the easiest to break'. Do you … understand what I mean?"
"Yes, Lord Consecrator, you want Qing Yi to be as gentle as water, right?"
"Hmm."
"Qing Yi, what should I do, Lord Consecrator?"
"Sigh … You can understand what I mean, but you can't do it. Actually, I left you in the Northern Mountain Village because I wanted you to understand this yourself."
"Qing Yi is stupid and has disappointed Lord Consecrator."
"Not really. Actually, I hadn't even become a Sage at that time. I don't really understand it. Forget it, go and do something."
"Lord Consecrator, please give me your instructions!"
"Try to chat with the people in the village, then help them with some farm work." Fang Zhengzhi touched his forehead. It was impossible to talk to Qing Yi, even if he wanted to pretend to be profound.
That was because to Qing Yi, following orders was always the most important thing. Under such circumstances, Fang Zhengzhi's words could only be conveyed in the form of an order.
"Yes, Qing Yi will go now!" Qing Yi didn't even ask anything. She immediately turned around and left. Soon, she disappeared from the courtyard.
After Qing Yi disappeared, Wu Yuer's little head popped out from the entrance of the courtyard. There was a strange light in her jet-black eyes.
"You didn't ask Qing Yi to come here just to chat with the villagers and help them with farm work?" Wu Yuer was confused. After all, it was not suitable for a sword servant to do such a thing. In other words, it was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
"Yes, didn't you hear it?" Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
"I don't believe you, you must be plotting something. Tell me, do you like Qing Yi? If you really like her, one word from me and Qingyi will be yours tonight. Wait a minute, are you going to betroth Qingyi to someone from the Northern Mountain Village? I'm not willing to do that … "
As Wu Yuer muttered to herself, Fang Zhengzhi slowly closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair. He found a comfortable spot to lie down and completely ignored Wu Yuer.
"Hey, shameless brat, say something?"
"You will understand later." Fang Zhengzhi replied casually without opening his eyes. However, there was another world in his eyes.
In that world, it was the same scene in the Northern Mountain Village. However, unlike the real world, the Northern Mountain Village in that world was only black and white.
…
In the black and white world, Qing Yi came to a villager and greeted him. Then, she carefully offered to help the villager to carry the farming tools.
However, the villager rejected her in fear.
"Miss Qing Yi, you are a big shot. This kind of rough and dirty farming work is not for a big shot like you. Miss Qing Yi, please don't waste my time."
"…" Qing Yi stopped in front of the farming tools and looked a little unnatural. However, she had no intention of giving up and continued to look for the villagers who were doing the farming work.
After asking and chatting with the villagers one by one, Qing Yi finally walked towards the direction of the courtyard after making one round of the entire village.
Fang Zhengzhi opened his eyes at this moment. A silvery-white light flashed across his eyes and he subconsciously revealed a faint smile.
"Shameless brat, don't tell me you really like Qing Yi? This Sect Master has such a great beauty in front of you. Are you blind or what? " Wu Yuer looked at Qing Yi who was standing at the entrance of the courtyard and then at Fang Zhengzhi who had opened his eyes. She had a strange expression on her face.
"Was she rejected?" Fang Zhengzhi ignored Wu Yuer and sat up straight again. He looked at Qing Yi who was standing at the entrance of the courtyard.
"Master, please forgive me, Qing Yi …"
"Let's try another method." Fang Zhengzhi interrupted Qing Yi and pointed towards the east. "Uncle Li is chopping firewood. Try to praise Uncle Li's knife skills first. Then, ask Uncle Li to teach you. Then, use the knife skills that Uncle Li taught you to help him with the farm work."
"Yes!" Qing Yi nodded again. Without any doubt or question, she turned around and walked towards the east.
Wu Yuer's eyes lit up at this moment. She looked at Qing Yi who was leaving and then at Fang Zhengzhi who was smiling. She rolled her eyes and seemed to be thinking about something.
After a while, Wu Yuer jumped up as well. She felt as if she had thought of something extraordinary, and it showed how smart she was.
"You are teaching Qing Yi? Am I right?! "
"…" Fang Zhengzhi rolled his eyes at Wu Yuer. However, when he saw Wu Yuer's expectant expression, he replied meaningfully, "You are really smart!"
"Hmph, at least you are telling the truth." Wu Yuer's face broke into a radiant smile. Then, she looked towards the east and her body suddenly trembled. "Eh? How did you know that Uncle Li is chopping firewood? I remember that you didn't leave this place? "
"Would you believe me if I said that I have two pairs of eyes?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Wu Yuer, and his lips curled into a radiant smile.
"Believe, I would be surprised if I believe you!" Wu Yuer replied Fang Zhengzhi in disdain. Then, she muttered, "You must have discussed this with Uncle Li, right?"
Fang Zhengzhi did not reply to Wu Yuer. Instead, he gave her a middle finger. Then, he laid back and closed his eyes.
…
One day passed very quickly. Then, two days, three days, four days …
Qing Yi used the method that Fang Zhengzhi taught her and asked the villagers for advice on how to do farm work. She gradually became one with the villagers.
"I didn't expect Miss Qing Yi to be so powerful and so eager to learn."
"Exactly, not only is she eager to learn, she is also smart. I only taught her once and the vegetables that she grew are neater than mine!"
"Yes, this lady is really good. I always felt that she was quiet in the past. Now, she is so cheerful, as if she has changed into a different person."
The people in the Northern Mountain Village were discussing among themselves.
"Changed into a different person?" Qing Yi, who was at the corner of the wall, looked like she was deep in thought when she heard the villagers' discussion. "The hardest is easy to break, the best is like water … I, I think I understand!"
"Do you understand? Toughness is Yang and softness is Yin. Some things can be done in a different way. It is the same for sword training. It would be good if the sword is fast, but it might not be bad if it is slow. That is because when the speed of the sword is slow, you will be able to think and make more changes when you attack. "A figure appeared behind Qing Yi.
Qing Yi's body trembled. Then, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the figure. "Qing Yi, thank you, Master, for your guidance!"
"You don't have to thank me. Actually, I am helping myself by helping you." Fang Zhengzhi shook his head and helped Qing Yi up from the ground.
In fact, he had been thinking about many things recently. For example, what Yun Qingwu had been doing for the past few years. He had talked to Wu Yuer about these things.
However, there was one thing …
He did not tell her.
That was, Yun Qingwu's true strength was not just in her strategy, but in her extraordinary leadership ability. A single spark could start a prairie fire. If Yun Qingwu was given ten soldiers, she could use these ten soldiers to conquer a village. Then, she could increase the number of soldiers to a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, or even a hundred thousand.
"A person's power can only belong to one person. Yun Qingwu, the real battle between us has just begun!" Fang Zhengzhi narrowed his eyes and looked towards the direction of the Cang Ling Mountain and the Blood Shadow City. It was as if there was another world there.
After a long while, a silvery-white radiance flashed across Fang Zhengzhi's eyes. Then, he smiled and said, "I've got it, let's start with you!"
…
Half a month later.
The autumn wind blew and the smoke of war rose.
The Southern Region was in dire straits. A month ago, the Sagely Mountain City had already been conquered. Then, Yun Qingwu used the identity of the Shan Family King to issue an order from the Sagely Mountain City, summoning the Nan Ling Tribe and Iron Soldier Tribe back to the Sagely Mountain City as reinforcements.
Even though the settlement chiefs of the Nan Ling Settlement and Iron Hill Settlement felt that something was amiss, they could not sit idly by when the Sagely Mountain City was in danger.
The result was obvious. Before the troops of the Nan Ling and Iron Hill Tribes could reach the Sagely Mountain City, the hundreds of thousands of demon elites had already charged out of the Blood Shadow City and taken down the two cities in one fell swoop.
Now, Yan Ya, Shi Zun, Icy Monkey and Thunderous Lion Settlement had already lost three of their four settlements. Only the Thunderous Lion Settlement was left.
"Your Highness, the Southern Region has fallen. For the sake of the future of the Southern Region, please preserve the bloodline of the Shan Family … run!" On the walls of the Thunderous Lion Settlement, the three settlement chiefs knelt on the ground. All of them were covered in blood and one of them had lost both of his arms.
"Run? Where can we run to? " Shan Yu, who was dressed in a beast-skin dress, gazed at the Demon Army that was already a mile away from the Thunderous Lion Settlement. Her eyes revealed a dazed look.
It was obvious that Shan Yu was extremely fatigued. Her wheat-colored skin was covered in dust, but she did not care.
Just as the three settlement chiefs had said, the Southern Region could no longer hold its ground.
