(I wish 'Shaoquan' a happy marriage! You don't need to say anything. I've already seen your feelings on the author's list. Personal circumstances are different, so it's not important. I can't find anything else to say other than to thank you for your support! Once again, I wish you a happy marriage. May you live to a ripe old age, and live happily ever after!)
"Oh!" Miao Yi said nonchalantly, "I wonder what it is that you can't bear to watch any longer. I'm all ears!"
The carpenter continued, "Don't be so sarcastic. I used to be a member of the Boundless Realm as well, and was also Feng Xuan's follower. Even so, I didn't like him. Every time I think about serving him, I feel disgusted. He's even worse than a woman!"
Miao Yi was surprised to hear Feng Xuan's two followers say the same thing. "Feng Xuan's reputation seems to be quite good! I heard that he's a handsome gentleman. He's cultured, handsome, and has friends all over the world. How can you two say that he's such a bad name?! "
The scholar nodded. "Before he was captured by the Devil Sage, he was indeed like what you said. After he was imprisoned, we realized that the reason why he could have friends all over the world was because of his background. His background gave him that confidence. Plus, he liked to make friends, and he was quite good-looking. He was also the Dao Sage's favorite grandson. How many cultivators in the world wouldn't be willing to make friends with him? Back then, the carpenter and I were by his side, and we were always proud of him. "
The carpenter nodded and continued, "Niu Er, if you think about it now, you'll realize a problem. Why didn't he have any friends from the other five sages? Why did he almost die at Fu Qing's hands when he went to befriend the Four Masters of the Sea of Constellations? The reason is simple. These people didn't care about the Dao Sage at all, and couldn't be bothered to feign civility with him. That's why it became a joke when you said he was popular! "
The scholar said, "When he went to the Sea of Constellations to look for Fu Qing, I was by his side. When Feng Xuan finally met Fu Qing, he was as handsome as you said. He spoke to Fu Qing with confidence, but Fu Qing grabbed him by the neck and almost crushed him to death. He was then thrown out of the hall. When Fu Qing walked out of the hall and approached him, Feng Xuan's face turned pale and his legs trembled. At that time, I thought he was injured by Fu Qing. It wasn't until he was imprisoned by the Great Demon Saint that I understood. He was so scared by Fu Qing that his face turned pale and his legs trembled! At that time, Fu Qing had mocked him. A person who deceives the world to gain fame dares to show off in front of me! After that, he kicked us out of the Western Constellations Palace and severely injured us. Thinking about it, Fu Qing was probably worried about the Dao Saint, otherwise, we wouldn't be alive. Now that he thought about it, the most ridiculous thing was … Feng Xuan was badly injured but he didn't dare to tell Dao Saint. He even told me not to say anything because he didn't want Dao Saint to worry. Later on, I understood that he didn't want to lose face. From then on, he no longer dared to provoke the Four Constellations Masters of the Sea of Constellations. He was terrified by Fu Qing! "
"Is this … for real?" Miao Yi found it a little hard to believe. He felt as though a myth had been shattered. He furrowed his brows and said, "Didn't this tavern rely on his connections to establish itself? If it was really because of his background, how could he have lasted until now? Could it be … "He vaguely guessed the reason.
"Bullsh * t! Relying on his connections? Why would the Lady Boss go out every year to get things done? If she really had such strong connections, with her background, why would she personally visit him and give him gifts? "The carpenter said angrily. He shook his head and sighed, "The Lady Boss is a smart woman, but unfortunately, she couldn't overcome the obstacle of 'love'. When Feng Xuan was captured, the Lady Boss already knew that Feng Xuan's so-called friends weren't reliable at all. If so many experts were really determined to join forces with the Dao Saint to save Feng Xuan, even the Demon Saint would have been hard pressed to stop them. Those people might have been able to cheer for him, but when they saw the Demon Saint go berserk and start a massacre, they all ran faster than anything else. Those who were a little slower lost their lives. Some people didn't even go, such as the South Pole and North Pole elders. It was obvious what kind of friends they had. However, the Lady Boss still visited them after the incident. She expressed her gratitude to those people one by one. Not only did she protect Feng Xuan's reputation and reputation, but she also created a network of connections that looked good on the surface. She also sold off a lot of things and gritted her teeth to support Tempest Tavern, working hard to earn some cultivation resources. She was afraid that Feng Xuan would suffer in the Great Devil Realm, so every year, she would send him gifts on time. She was the granddaughter of the number one cultivator in the cultivation realm, a proud daughter of the heavens! She used to be such a proud and aloof woman. Back then, she had to run all over the place to pay her respects and watch everyone's expressions. Unfortunately, there are still some people in the Boundless Realm who don't know their place. They always think that the Lady Boss is taking advantage of Feng Xuan to open up Tempest Tavern. Not only do they make a fuss about it, they even mock the Lady Boss time and again. The Lady Boss has been enduring it all these years! "
Miao Yi fell silent. He didn't know what to say.
The scholar smiled bitterly. "That's not a big deal. If Feng Xuan had been a little more hardworking, the Lady Boss would have sacrificed herself for him for the rest of her life without any regrets. The funny thing was, after Feng Xuan fell into the Devil Saint's hands and was imprisoned, he lost all his gentlemanly demeanor. He couldn't hold his temper at all, and was always worried that the Devil Saint would kill him one day. He asked the Lady Boss to think of a way to save him. However, he didn't realize that he was in the Devil Saint's hands, and the Devil Saint refused to let him go. Even his grandfather, the Dao Sage Feng Beichen, couldn't save him, so how could the Lady Boss save him? Later on, when Tempest Tavern prospered, the Lady Boss sent him cultivation resources so that he wouldn't interfere with his cultivation. However, Feng Xuan complained that it was too little. His reason for complaining was reasonable, but when he thought about it, it was laughable. He was afraid that the Devil Saint would be difficult to deal with, because the people he sent to watch over him weren't very polite to him. He was always worried that the people watching over him would harm him. Originally, the Tempest Tavern's income was divided into three parts. One part was given to him, one part was used to build connections, and the last part was kept by the tavern. However, because of Feng Xuan's actions, the Lady Boss couldn't just ignore the part she used to build connections with the outside world. After all, that was the tavern's foundation. She had no choice but to cut off the portion she used to keep for herself. As a result, a prisoner like Feng Xuan actually took up half of the tavern's income every year. It wouldn't have been a big deal if he used all of this income, but he used most of it to bribe the people watching over him. The Lady Boss couldn't stop him no matter what. She said that as long as she was around, nothing would happen to him. However, Feng Xuan couldn't stand up to the Devil Saint's threats. The Lady Boss couldn't do anything about it! "
The carpenter snorted disdainfully. "What gentle and refined? What handsome and elegant? I finally understand now. He's the kind of person who hasn't been through any hardships or tribulations. As soon as those halos that others have bestowed upon him are knocked down, his true colors are revealed. Without the confidence that the Dao Saint has given him, how can he possibly be handsome and elegant? He's nothing. In fact, he can't even be compared to an ordinary person. He's weak, cowardly, afraid of death. The Lady Boss fell in love with him all those years ago. She thought that she had found an extraordinary man, and she didn't even look back! The Lady Boss isn't an idiot either. When she saw that the man she loved all those years ago had turned out to be such a wretched person, she realized that this was his true nature … Niu Er, can you imagine how the Lady Boss felt at that moment? Do you now understand why the Lady Boss would sit on the rooftop and drink wine while watching the sunset every day? Do you now understand why the Lady Boss would get drunk every time she returned from the Great Devil Realm? Because she couldn't see any hope. Even if Feng Xuan were to come out one day, she wouldn't be able to see any hope. Even so, did you see how she treated Feng Xuan? All because of a promise from back then, all because of the feelings she had for him back then, she used this method to silently sacrifice herself for Feng Xuan for over fifty thousand years! How many cultivators can live for that long? And how many can live for fifty thousand years? "
The scholar advised Miao Yi, "Niu Er, it's your good fortune to have met such a good woman and to be able to give herself to you. You mustn't let her down. Don't be bothered by her past with Feng Xuan. Even though she always appears to be smiling, when it comes to the word 'love', she really can't take it anymore. She's been keeping her distance from love all these years, never daring to cross the line. She's truly afraid. Otherwise, none of us would want to miss out on such a good woman. Now that she's finally been enlightened by you, we're all happy for her when we see her radiant and sincere smile every day. We've also noticed that ever since that night, the two of you have been carefully keeping your distance. This must be her idea, because we know her better than you do. Please give her a little more time. She can't just walk away from the incident with Feng Xuan just like that. She's not an irresponsible woman. If she doesn't take responsibility, she won't be able to live with herself. So, you mustn't let this incident become a reason for you to leave her. If you let her go, it'll be your loss, and it'll harm her as well. Niu Er, even though the Lady Boss isn't the most beautiful woman in the world, we can guarantee that if you leave her, you'll never find another woman as good as her again! "
Miao Yi finally understood what was going on. It turned out that these guys thought he might leave the Lady Boss this time, so they surrounded him and talked about their feelings just to convince him. It gave him quite a fright. He thought they'd found out about his affair with the Lady Boss and wanted to do something to him, but it turned out to be a false alarm.
He turned to look at the cook and the stonemason, who had been standing silently by the side. The carpenter and scholar had talked a lot, but the two of them hadn't said anything at all. Miao Yi couldn't help but ask, "Don't you two have anything to say?"
The stonemason pursed his lips to the scholar and the carpenter, "They were Feng Xuan's followers all those years ago. It's not appropriate for the two of us to speak ill of Feng Xuan. Besides, wouldn't it be more convincing if the two of them were to say it?"
