Fang Xing's tit for tat made Lady Xuan feel like she could not continue.
Looking at her expression, it seemed to be rather difficult to understand, and at the same time, she felt that it was laughable. As someone who was about to marry into the Yuan Family, in addition to the fact that she did indeed feel somewhat apologetic towards Fang Xing in the past, she had the intention to mend this old matter, which was why she had specially rushed over from Tiangang Mountain. Her goal was to persuade Fang Xing to return the Green Moon Lantern to Fuyao Palace before this matter fermented too much, and even in her heart, she had already thought of some compensation, such as the quota for the next Jade Pool Celestial Gathering, etc. But she did not expect that once Fang Xing opened his mouth, she would not be able to continue speaking.
Opening his mouth to say that he would save Fuyao Palace from a disaster?
To anyone who heard this, it would be a joke!
But Lady Xuan did not treat it as a joke, because she had seen Fang Xing at his weakest!
If someone had told her twenty years ago that this frail and mischievous little monkey in the remote countryside, whose life and death were in her hands, would have grown to a level that even she dared not look at in less than twenty years, Fourth Madam Xuan would never have believed it!
But the scene before her eyes had really happened!
The speed of his growth was too shocking!
And while she had been living in seclusion, incidents regarding him had occurred one after another, each one reminding Lady Xuan that this child could not be underestimated. She had given him twenty years, and he had practically caused trouble in the Land of Demons and Nan Zhan. If she gave him another twenty years, who could guarantee that he would not be able to cause trouble in Fuyao Palace? Of course, this thought only flashed past her mind. As a member of Fuyao Palace, Lady Xuan knew how deep Fuyao Palace's foundations were. It was impossible for her to be afraid of Fang Xing, but she still wanted to resolve this grudge, so she showed some goodwill.
"Did you really do all of this for that little girl?"
After a long silence, Lady Xuan suddenly spoke softly, her expression somewhat complicated.
"That's right!"
Fang Xing replied matter-of-factly, "I heard that the Green Moon Lantern is one of the three great treasures of Fuyao Palace. It seems to be very important. Return Xiao Man to me, and I will return the Green Moon Lantern to you. Moreover, all our grudges will be written off, and I promise not to cause any trouble for you!"
"You …"
Fourth Madam Xuan furrowed her brows, and after a long while, she said, "I'm here to resolve the old grudge between you and the Yuan family. I don't want your matter to cause the Yuan family to become enemies with Fuyao Palace. If you still harbor any resentment because of the past, I can compensate you. Although I'm about to marry into the Yuan family, I can still make some decisions in Yaochi. For the current you, I believe that the compensation I can give you will be very helpful!"
"Is that so …"
Fang Xing frowned. He held his chin and pondered for a while before saying, "We'll talk about other compensation later. Can you return Xiao Man to me first?"
"You …"
Fourth Madam Xuan looked displeased and shut her mouth.
At first, when she heard Fang Xing mention Xiao Man, she thought it was because of the resentment in his heart. But now, it seemed that he was serious.
Although she was also a woman, she did not understand. In this world, other than the Devil Incarnate who had grown up in a pile of cosmetics, how could there be someone in this world who would have such a strong obsession over a little girl with the Demonic Barbarian Bloodline?
"It's very fair. To the Fuyao Palace, the Green Moon Lamp can't be more important than Xiao Man, right?"
Seeing that Fourth Madam Xuan did not speak, Fang Xing could not help but say, "I'll use this lamp to exchange for Xiao Man. Consider it a great bargain!"
"That's impossible!"
Fourth Madam Xuan was silent for a long time before she suddenly spoke in a low voice.
"Damn, you're still saying that you're sincere?"
Fang Xing was also anxious. He pointed his knife at Fourth Madam Xuan and said, "I think you're purposely making things difficult for me!"
"Every orthodoxy has its own taboo!"
Fourth Madam Xuan said in a low voice, "The Fuyao Palace's taboo is the female disciples. Other than Situ, they will not marry anyone else!"
"What Situ? Do you think you're the Emperor?"
The fire in Fang Xing's heart suddenly exploded. He shouted sternly, "Even if you're the Emperor, Xiao Man is mine. When I bought her from the human traffickers, she was mine. No one can take her away from me, not even the Emperor …"
Such an angry roar finally made Fourth Madam Xuan see his serious side. Her eyes gradually became solemn and a touch of worry appeared between her brows. It was as if she had seen through this irreconcilable contradiction. However, after a long time, she still said hesitantly, "The disciples of Fuyao Palace cannot leave. This is related to some secrets and I can't tell you. I can only tell you that Xiao Man is very talented and diligent in her cultivation. If it wasn't for her lowly bloodline, I would have even thought of promoting her to the position of Holy Maiden. Because of this, it is even more impossible for her to leave Fuyao Palace. The more outstanding the disciple, the more importance Fuyao Palace will place on her. Her life and even her spirit will be linked to Fuyao Palace … What you've proposed is an impossible request!"
Fang Xing suddenly fell silent and did not speak again.
In the depths of his eyes, there was a deep sense of anger and exhaustion …
"But this is my only request!"
Feeling that Fourth Madam Xuan had some intention to reconcile, Fang Xing also restrained his temper and said one last sentence in defense.
Then, there was a long period of silence between the two of them.
They suddenly realized that the difficulty of this matter was far beyond their imagination!
Fourth Madam Xuan realized that Fang Xing really wanted to get Xiao Man back. This obsession was far beyond her imagination and could not be erased. There was no other way to make up for it. Under such circumstances, getting back the Green Moon Lantern was almost impossible. And Fang Xing realized that Fourth Madam Xuan was also very serious. The rule that the female disciples of Fuyao Palace were not allowed to marry outside seemed to not only be a rule, but also involved some secrets. And it was because of these secrets that he wanted to easily exchange for Xiao Man back was just a delusion!
"Aiyo, Third Madam, little ancestor, are you two alright …"
Below, Steward Wen had finally shaken off the entanglement of the Great Golden Crow and rushed up. When he saw the appearance of Fang Xing and Fourth Madam Xuan, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. Of these two, one was the future Madam who was waiting to marry into the Yuan family, the other was the current Divine Son of the Yuan family. If anything happened to either of them, he would not be able to escape responsibility. Fortunately, when he came up to take a look, he found that these two were not injured, but their expressions made his heart turn cold. They were too serious. These two people, who were usually more lively, had expressions that were as gloomy as water.
"I will definitely get Xiao Man back. If you don't return her, I will find a way myself!"
Fang Xing did not want to be long-winded. When he realized that using the Green Moon Lantern to exchange for Xiao Man back was not feasible, he turned around and left.
Fourth Madam Xuan hesitated for a moment, but still opened her mouth to call out, "I'm doing this for your own good. That Green Moon Lantern better be returned …"
Fang Xing suddenly stopped, turned around, and growled in a low voice, "You want to get back the Green Moon Lantern?"
His voice was full of disdain, with a hint of unquestionable viciousness, "Kill me first!"
After saying that, he flew down from Myriad Treasures City. After a while, he and the Great Golden Crow appeared at the same time from the other side of Pool City, fleeing into the distance. Fourth Madam Xuan hesitated for a moment, but did not stop them. She only let out a low sigh. On the other hand, Steward Wen slapped his thigh and chased after Fang Xing. He called out a few times, but when he did not see Fang Xing turn around, he could only walk back in distress, sighing endlessly. Originally, he was very confident in the Third Madam, thinking that she would resolve this grudge, but who would have thought that things would become more troublesome than before!
Even now, he could not think of a suitable solution!
It was naturally impossible to let that little ancestor auction off the Green Moon Lantern. The impact of that matter was too great, and it could even incite a conflict between the Yuan family and Fuyao Palace. But unfortunately, the Yuan family could not force that little ancestor to hand over the Green Moon Lantern. This little ancestor's current status was very special. In the eyes of the Old Immortal of the Yuan family, being able to maintain the status quo until the Hundred Break Mountain's good fortune was found was the best outcome. Any deviation in the middle could cause the situation to fall into an irreconcilable predicament …
"Third Madam …"
Steward Wen called out, wanting to say something but hesitating.
At this moment, Fourth Madam Xuan's expression was also desolate, as if she had a very heavy heart.
In the depths of her eyes, it was as if she could once again see the past events of the Blue Cloud Sect …
Everything had happened in the blink of an eye!
In the blink of an eye, she had taken a liking to the little girl that Elder Qing Niao had brought to her side. It was truly because that little girl was beautiful, like a gemstone. Moreover, she was extremely talented, so her heart had been moved. These kinds of subtle thoughts had made her decide to give face to Elder Qing Niao. She had made an unplanned decision and brought that little girl back to Fuyao Palace to become an official disciple!
In the blink of an eye, when she saw that little wild monkey chasing after them, she did not use any decisive methods to kill it. Instead, she had directly ordered Granny Qian to kill that little weed that had yet to mature. She also did not soften her heart because of the little girl's tears. She did not let her go back and return her to that urchin … It could be said that if she had been a little more hardened or a little more soft-hearted at that time, things would not have turned out like this!
In the blink of an eye, she had decided the fate of the urchin and the little maidservant from that time!
After that, that blink of an eye had caused today's distress!
Naturally, Fuyao Palace would not be afraid of this little devil. Although he had already displayed an extremely terrifying potential, he could not be considered to have fully matured, so he would not be too much of a threat to Fuyao Palace. However, Fuyao Palace also coveted the fortune of the Hundred Break Mountain Range. Now that they had directly offended the key to opening the treasure trove, no one knew what kind of impact this would have in the end …
The complexity of this matter was already not something that she could resolve by herself. Things had already gone beyond her control.
It was also this heavy hidden worry that caused a trace of inexplicable regret to suddenly flash through her resolute heart as a Yuanying cultivator. If … if only I had not taken that little maidservant back then …
