From Mo Tianlan's point of view, if he wanted to help Yan Shuheng rise to the top, he only needed to settle two things. One was naturally Yan Huangjiu, and the other was Meng Qingze, the expert on the Ranking List of Young Masters.
Yan Huangjiu's attitude was very important. However, with his current strength, it was naturally impossible for him to affect Yan Huangjiu. He needed the Primordial Soul Realm experts of his Mo Clan to make a move.
The only one he could deal with was Meng Qingze.
Anyway, in Mo Tianlan's opinion, the few Inborn Warriors around Yan Qingxue were not worth mentioning. Only Meng Qingze was worthy of his attention.
"An expert on the Ranking List of Young Masters. Haha, if I defeat him, can I get on the Ranking List of Young Masters?" Mo Tianlan muttered to himself.
He never thought that he was worse than those so-called experts on the Ranking List of Young Masters. If he did not choose to do closed-door training to break through to the Spiritual Aperture Realm five years ago, but chose to make a living in the Central Plains Wulin, with his strength, Mo Tianlan was confident that he would be on the Ranking List of Young Masters.
Of course, he wasn't even thirty-five yet, so it wouldn't be too late for him to enter the Ranking List of Young Masters.
There were many people who had the same idea as Mo Tianlan. Meng Qingze was Yan Qingxue's only figurehead. As long as he was settled, everything would be fine.
At this moment, the others were resting in their respective residences, and only the Nine Radiance Sword Sect's Fang Chenyu had asked Yan Jiheng to bring him to the largest brothel in Merchant Mountain City, and he directly booked the entire brothel before calling over all the girls to have fun.
Yan Jiheng wanted to refuse, but he did not dare to disobey Fang Chenyu's words. He could only obediently do as he was told.
In the Xiangnan Pugilistic World, Fang Chenyu's reputation wasn't that great.
Even though he was from a reputable and righteous sect, Fang Chenyu was a ruthless person and extremely lustful. Forcefully seizing women from good families was a small matter, and it was even to the extent that he dared to touch the female disciples of some large sects. He'd caused no small amount of trouble for the Nine Radiance Sword Sect.
When he thought about how the Nine Radiance Sword Sect had actually sent such a person to help him, Yan Jiheng was slightly displeased.
Therefore, while Fang Chenyu was having fun, he pushed away all the girls around him and drank alone to drown his sorrows.
Seeing him like this, Fang Chenyu pushed away the girl beside him and said with a smile, "Brat, are you unhappy? Do you think that this Young Master only knows how to eat, drink, and play without helping you fight for the position of City Lord? "
Yan Jiheng hurriedly shook his head and smiled awkwardly. "Senior Brother Fang, you're thinking too much. Why would I think so?"
Fang Chenyu patted Yan Jiheng's cheek. This kind of insulting action made Yan Jiheng furious, but he didn't dare to explode.
His mother was only an ordinary disciple of the Nine Radiance Sword Sect in the past, and her status couldn't compare to a direct descendant disciple like Fang Chenyu. Moreover, he was relying on the members of the Nine Radiance Sword Sect to help him seize the position of City Governor, so he didn't dare offend them.
"Brat, didn't you hear from the people outside that I, Fang Chenyu, am lustful and only know how to cause trouble for the sect?"
Yan Jiheng hurriedly shook his head, but Fang Chenyu gave a cold laugh and said, "What the hell do those idiots know! This young master does like women, but so what? Just based on the troubles I've caused, it's enough for the sect to cripple my martial arts and expel me from the sect. But why do they tolerate me like this? "
Fang Chenyu pointed his finger lightly, and a milky-white stream of vital energy shot out, cutting off a portion of a teacup. The surface was smooth and glossy, without the slightest bit of damage.
"They tolerate me because compared to the troubles I've caused, I, Fang Chenyu, am even more valuable!
There are over a thousand disciples in the younger generation of the Nine Radiance Sword Sect, yet only I, Fang Chenyu, have opened the eyes and ears apertures before the age of 35! "Fang Chenyu had a proud expression.
So what if I'm lustful? So what if I can cause trouble? So long as I'm able to display sufficient potential, then the sect will let me go and protect me.
Yan Jiheng's face revealed a shocked expression. He did not expect that Fang Chenyu, who did not have a good reputation, was actually a guy who pretended to be a pig to eat a tiger. He had actually opened the four apertures of the eyes and ears.
After all, even with Mo Tianlan's strength, he required five years of closed door cultivation to open the eyes and ears apertures. So what was Fang Chenyu doing during these five years? He was just ceaselessly causing trouble outside.
It could be said that if he concentrated on cultivating like Mo Tianlan, then he would probably already be ranked on the Mortal Rankings by now.
"Then Senior Brother Fang, when the time comes, are we going to directly attack and deal with Meng Qingze and that woman?" Yan Jiheng spoke excitedly.
Fang Chenyu looked at Yan Jiheng as if he was looking at an idiot. "What's the identity of that woman? She's your older sister, the successor appointed by the Governor of Merchant Mountain City, Yan Huangjiu. If we dare touch her, then that father of yours will absolutely dare to ask our sect to come over and collect her corpse. "
Fang Chenyu grunted coldly and said, "I don't want to die so early, so don't mention such a rotten idea in the future. What we can do now is to eliminate all the forces by Yan Qingxue's side.
At that time, even if she becomes the City Governor, she won't have any trusted subordinates by her side, and it's uncertain if she'll be able to subdue those martial artists of Merchant Mountain City that Yan Huangjiu gave her at the last minute. At this time, it's time for all of you to make a move. "
"Then will Father interfere in the struggle between us?" Yan Jiheng asked worriedly.
Fang Chenyu took the cup and drank a large mouthful of wine before he said, "I don't know. But Yan Huangjiu didn't say anything when all of you borrowed our forces in the past. Of course, we only sent one or two Congenital Realm martial artists to follow all of you at that time, but now all the elites of all our sects are mobilized.
If Yan Huangjiu is still like before and doesn't participate in anything, just the people we brought is enough to eliminate those people by Yan Qingxue's side.
But if he makes a move, then it's not certain. There are many capable people by Yan Huangjiu's side. Who knows how many of the experts in the Wind Cloud Arena have been recruited by him. If he really makes a move, then we can only go back and ask the elders of the sect to come over. "
With these words, Yan Jiheng really had a whole new level of respect for Fang Chenyu.
To be able to analyze the current situation of Merchant Mountain City so clearly and logically, Fang Chenyu was definitely not a brainless person who only knew how to cause trouble.
Even if he had provoked other sects in the martial world because of his relationship with a woman, he didn't receive any punishment in the end. That wasn't just because he had potential, but also because he knew who he could provoke and who he couldn't.
The Saintess of Mythical Fire Sect, Lan Yudie, was even known as the number one beauty of Xiangnan. However, Fang Chenyu only dared to fantasize about her in his mind and feast his eyes, but he never provoked her. He didn't even flirt with her verbally. This was where he was smart.
After lowering his head and thinking for a moment, Fang Chenyu rubbed his chin and said, "I guess that idiot Ling Tao and Mo Tianlan, that guy who became stupid from cultivating, also think so. Let's clean up the people around Yan Qingxue first.
But in this way, everyone's starting point will be the same again. Even if we exclude Yan Qingxue, we still have to compete with the four of us. We have to think of a way to take the lead. "
"Lead? What lead? "Yan Jiheng asked.
Fang Chenyu sneered and said, "The position of the successor to the City Lord is the lead. With it, there will be a righteous name. In the future, when we fight for the position of the City Lord, we will at least have a 30% chance. Unfortunately, the few of you are too useless. You actually let a woman take the lead."
Yan Jiheng went silent embarrassedly. Actually, he was indeed the most embarrassed amongst all the people fighting for the position of the successor.
He was young and didn't possess a strong force, so the support the Nine Radiance Sword Sect gave him wasn't that great. Even though Yan Huangjiu was slightly biased towards him, he at most gave him two Congenital Realm experts, and he didn't take any other actions.
"Right, is Yan Qingxue very beautiful?" Fang Chenyu asked abruptly.
Yan Jiheng hesitated for a moment before he nodded.
Even though he was extremely resentful towards Yan Qingxue because of his mother, he was really unable to speak ill of Yan Qingxue because of her appearance.
"Senior Brother Fang, you wouldn't be thinking of making a move against Yan Qingxue, right? But you just said that I can't make a move against her. "Yan Jiheng asked carefully.
Everyone said that Fang Chenyu was extremely lustful, but he was an intelligent person, so he wouldn't have been overcome by lust at this moment, right?
Fang Chenyu glanced at him. "When did I say that I wanted to make a move against Yan Qingxue? Since Yan Qingxue can be considered to be beautiful, then I have an idea. "
"What idea?"
"Propose marriage. I want to marry Yan Qingxue!"
"What!?" Yan Jiheng was instantly shocked.
Fang Chenyu said with displeasure, "What're you making such a fuss about? Hear me out.
As a woman, it's impossible for Yan Qingxue to remain unmarried for her entire lifetime, right?
Our ages are compatible, our statuses are similar, and we're both unmarried. How suitable is it?
So long as she marries me, then our Nine Radiance Sword Sect will be able to utilize this to directly control Merchant Mountain City and directly occupy a righteous position in name. The Mo Clan and the others will absolutely be unable to compete with us. "
Yan Jiheng looked at Fang Chenyu. This idea he came up with isn't bad indeed. If we set out from another direction, then we'll even be able to occupy Merchant Mountain City without losing a single soldier. But the problem is what about me?
"Then what should I do? Should I fight for the position of Governor of Merchant Mountain City? "Yan Jiheng instantly became anxious.
Fang Chenyu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, your mother is a member of my Nine Radiance Sword Sect, so you're naturally considered to be a member of my Nine Radiance Sword Sect as well. How could we possibly allow you to suffer a loss?
If I marry Yan Qingxue, then after our Nine Radiance Sword Sect occupies Merchant Mountain City, we'll surely have to choose an actual manager to manage it. Who else could this person be besides you? It can be said that at that time, even if you aren't the City Governor, you'll actually possess the authority of a City Governor. "
Yan Jiheng nodded unwillingly when he heard Fang Chenyu say this.
After all, he harbored resentment towards Yan Qingxue in his heart, and the best plan was to become the City Governor himself before killing Yan Qingxue to vent her anger for his mother.
But since Fang Chenyu wanted to marry Yan Qingxue now, he could only abandon this thought. If he really offended the Nine Radiance Sword Sect, then he would probably even lose the qualifications to manage Merchant Mountain City.
"There's no need to worry. What's yours is yours, and no one can take it away." Fang Chenyu patted Yan Jiheng on the shoulder as if he was consoling him, and then he turned around and pulled a few young women over before wantonly touching Yan Jiheng.
