Zong Wuyuan didn't expect Fang Yun's tone to be so harsh. He could only quibble, "I'm innocent. I really didn't mean that. I just thought that your reaction was too intense."
"Bensei carries the expectations of hundreds of millions of people, civil and military officials, and scholars in Jingguo. As the Governor of two provinces, he hosts this rare event of the human race. No matter the meaning or the nature, it is extraordinary. Bensei represents the hundreds of millions of people and ministers in Jingguo to receive the emperors, great scholars, and famous scholars. Before the first cup of wine could be offered, you interrupted. Bensei hasn't even held you responsible. Instead, you accuse Bensei of overreacting? Just a small matter? Is the expectation of hundreds of millions of people in Jingguo a small matter? Is the dignity of the civil and military officials in Jingguo a small matter? Or is the concern of the millions of participants a small matter? Do I need to speak so loudly and let the scholars and people in Baling be the judge of reason? "Fang Yun stared at Zong Wuyuan. His words were like swords.
As soon as Fang Yun opened his mouth, the atmosphere between heaven and earth suddenly changed slightly. The Yangtze River and Dongting Lake nearby rose and fell. The wind blew in the sky. The entire Baling City seemed to have condensed a majestic and vast will, which was staring at Zong Wuyuan from the sky.
Emperor Qing's expression changed immediately. He instinctively looked at Zong Ganyu, the head of the Zong family sitting next to him.
Zong Ganyu sat there steadily, as if she didn't see her son in danger.
"I … I didn't think it through." Zong Wuyuan gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words. This was not Gyeongo. It was not under the protection of the Sage. If he continued to resist, he didn't know what Fang Yun would do. However, Zong Wuyuan didn't think that he did anything wrong. It was Fang Yun who deliberately made things difficult for him. Those words were only commonly used in arguments. There was no need to make such a big deal.
"Didn't think it through? Ridiculous. You are the one who is mean. You don't even understand the most basic principle of 'don't do to others what you don't want done to yourself.' If I didn't have hundreds of millions of people behind me, if I was just an ordinary person, you could provoke me first and then blame me for overreacting? Does everyone owe you, or do they have to spoil you like an elder? "
Hearing this, many people secretly glanced at the head of the Zong family, Zong Ganyu. Fang Yun's words were actually very polite. In other words, they were not your parents. There was no need for us to indulge you.
If it was more vicious, it could even be interpreted as Fang Yun scolding Zong Wuyuan for being uneducated in front of Zong Ganyu.
Zong Wuyuan heard Fang Yun's unspoken words and was so angry that his face turned red.
Fang Yun said calmly, "It's just a small matter. Why are you so angry?"
Zong Wuyuan stood rooted to the ground. He was angry and anxious, but deep in his heart, there was a voice telling him that Fang Yun was right and that he was the one at fault.
Many people suddenly smiled and nodded, especially those who favored Fang Yun.
Chen Mingding smiled and said, "Wuyuan, I'm going to say something unpleasant. In terms of status, Fang Xusheng is above you. Although what he said today is not the golden rule, it is thought-provoking. If you can accept it sincerely, you will be able to go further. "
Zhou Qingtian nodded and said, "It is a blessing to be able to be taught by Fang Xusheng. The world regards Zhang Longxiang as a role model. Today, I see that Fang Xusheng is not far behind. "
Some Gyeongo people were stunned. They thought that Zhou Qingtian was not from Jingguo. What did he mean by that? Did he mean it literally, or did he mean that Fang Yun just scolded Zong Wuyuan like a son?
Some people thought that Fang Yun was too ruthless. He did not even bother to attack those with low status and directly educated them. Zong Wuyuan had thousands of tricks up his sleeve. As long as Fang Yun had something on him, he would have to listen regardless of whether he wanted to or not.
Zong Wuyuan had no way to fight back against this kind of overwhelming counterattack.
Disrupting the meeting was a small matter, but disrespecting Xusheng was a big mistake.
The Gyeongo people present were helpless. This was the benefit of having a high status.
The key was that even they were a little convinced. Fang Yun was not just fighting back for the sake of fighting back. He was really teaching Zong Wuyuan from a higher point of view. No matter what his intentions were, according to the morality of the human race, actions were good and could lead to good results. Then Fang Yun was not wrong.
If Zong Wuyuan resisted, then he would have made a big mistake.
Moreover, many people felt that even if Fang Yun was angry, it was because of Zong Wuyuan's counterattack, not because of Zong Wuyuan's provocation. What he said was not a counterattack, but more like an elder educating the younger generation. He was not selfish.
At this moment, Zong Wuyuan finally realized that his opponent might have been lucky to lose the first time, but he must have picked the wrong opponent to defeat him twice in a row. After all, his opponent was a Grand Scholar, who had a high Cultivation state and quick thinking. No matter how smart he was, he would be beaten to a pulp.
Zong Wuyuan began to regret that he should have used the most direct and basic method to provoke Fang Yun. He did not say those useless words and insisted that Zhang Longxiang was there. He did not reveal any flaws, and Fang Yun would not be able to do anything.
At this point, Zong Wuyuan knew that he had lost the upper hand. If he continued to be entangled, he might be as unlucky as Nie Changju outside the East City.
"I have learned my lesson!" Zong Wuyuan bowed respectfully at a 90-degree angle, formally admitting his mistake.
Fang Yun smiled and said, "You are teachable. No wonder Wude always mentioned you in front of me. You will definitely become the pillar of the Zong family with Mr. Ganyu in the future. "
"I do not deserve such praise." Although Zong Wuyuan admitted defeat, he was sullen in his heart. He could not let go of being called "teachable" by someone who was more than ten years younger than him. Moreover, it was someone he hated.
"My son spoke arrogantly. Thank you, Fang Xusheng, for enlightening me and teaching me." Zong Ganyu smiled and stood up. His words were powerful, like a spring breeze.
"Mr. Ganyu, you are too polite." Fang Yun said.
Zong Wuyuan heard his father's voice and suddenly became clear-headed. He immediately realized that his mentality was out of balance. If he continued, he would lose his courage. He was grateful to his father, but he hated Fang Yun even more. He was sure that Fang Yun was playing tricks and wanted to ruin his Divine Path.
Fang Yun glanced at Zong Wuyuan and could sense the hatred in his eyes. He thought to himself that this person's talent was above Zong Wude's, but his heart was far from being as sincere as Zong Wude's. Their future achievements would definitely be pulled apart. If this person was not Zong Wude's brother, he would not have to use this kind of teaching method. He would have used more intense means to confuse his mind and break his courage.
Zong Wuyuan sat down slowly and sighed softly.
People in Gyeongo were helpless, but people in Jingguo kept nodding. Fang Yun's words and deeds were almost a model of a scholar. He did not give in to the Emperor of Qing, but he focused on education and teaching Zong Wuyuan, who was in a lower position. At the same time, he achieved the desired result and no one could find fault with him.
Fang Yun poured wine for himself again, then raised his glass and said, "Fang Yun would like to propose a toast to all of you."
Everyone stood up, raised their glasses, and then drank up.
"At this Dongting banquet, we only talk about romance." Fang Yun smiled and said.
Zong Wuyuan saw a trace of coldness in Fang Yun's eyes. Fang Yun had set the rules. If he provoked him again, he would be destroyed.
