Fang Yan left, and Gongsun Qi offered to walk him out.
Under Qing Niao's stare, as if she was looking at a lunatic, the two walked towards the side door outside the red wall.
"Are you crazy?" Before they got far, Gongsun Qi couldn't help but complain, "Do you know what you're doing?"
"I know. Challenging one of the three dragons of Hua Xia, the Dragon God — — "Fang Yan had a calm smile on his face.
Gongsun Qi didn't like this kind of expression. In the past, Fang Yan's smile was very cunning and proud, like a fox that took advantage of others. Gongsun Qi felt even more friendly towards this kind of smile. At this time, he looked very mysterious, and no one knew what he was thinking. He was not down to earth, and naturally made people feel distant. His smile was like a constant reminder that he was now a Water Overflow State master, and this was the expression of a Water Overflow State master — —
"You'll die." Gongsun Qi stared at Fang Yan's smiling face and said fiercely.
Fang Yan looked at Gongsun Qi and asked, "You also think I'm no match for your master?"
"Don't you know that you're no match for him? Do you still need to ask other people's feelings about this? "
Fang Yan nodded and said, "Your master has been famous for a long time, and his cultivation is unfathomable — — what's more terrifying is that no one has fought him for the past ten years, and no one knows how much he has grown. Against such a master, I really don't have any chance of winning. "
"Then why do you still want to do this? You can choose not to do it, or you can do it later — — "Gongsun Qi anxiously tried to dissuade him. It was obvious that he was really thinking about Fang Yan's safety.
Fang Yan stopped, looked at Gongsun Qi with sincere eyes, and said, "In the past, I thought the same as you. I can choose not to do it, or I can do it later — — why do something that I have no confidence in? Why do something that disregards your own safety? I'm going to get married, and I really like the woman I'm going to marry. I want to be with her every day, and we'll have several children — that's my ideal life. "
Gongsun Qi didn't say anything. He just quietly waited for Fang Yan to continue.
"But, I can't now —" Fang Yan said with a smile. "I stood in front of a huge vat for a long time and thought about many things. There were many contradictory ideas, and those contradictory laws collided and killed each other — one side triumphed over the other, just like one country triumphed over another. I became the king of the victorious kingdom. I comprehended the Heavenly Dao and stepped into the doorstep of the Water Overflow State … "
"However, once you enter that realm, there's no turning back. It's just like when you become the king of a kingdom, you can no longer step down by yourself, because once you lose the protection of that position, you may be killed by the rebels — — you can only brace yourself and continue forward, no matter what you encounter in front of you, you have to walk forward bravely and fearlessly — "
"You also know about the grudge between the Dragon God and the one in my family. In the battle between the two, the one in my family suffered a crushing defeat, and because his meridians were cut, he became a cripple — — I grew up with him, and almost my entire life was spent with him. I could see how miserable his life was, and I could feel how sorrowful his heart was — — he ate wine every day and slept with wine. That kind of life — — would have been better off dead. If he had died in that battle, at least he would have maintained the illustrious reputation of the Azure Dragon — — "
"However, he didn't die, and was still stubbornly living on — — when everyone mentions the Azure Dragon's name, they would sigh in regret, saying that a Heavenly Son of Heaven was destroyed in a day, but in their hearts, they were mocking his current situation. Most people would just ignore him when they saw him. Who would care about the opinion of a cripple? Can you imagine — — how did he survive such a life? "
"The Fang family is few in number, with only one son for several generations. Back when Grandfather was healthy, he had dozens of disciples, and it was considered a formidable force. Later, Grandfather's legs were crippled, and most of his disciples left, never to be heard from again. There were a few who stayed, but they didn't have the ability to prop up the Fang family. After the old drunkard ascended the Heavenly Dao, the Fang family's reputation changed greatly. However, when he perished and became a cripple, he would receive ten times, a hundred times more mockery and blows than before — — "
"My father was killed at the entrance of the village. I was one step too late. If I had arrived earlier, I would have been able to save him. Because of this thought, I stayed in Swallow Dock to observe mourning for my father for three years. I felt too guilty, and I blamed myself — — but, what was the old drunkard thinking? If — if his tendons hadn't been cut by your master, if he was still a Heavenly Dao expert, would my father not have died? Would the Fang family not be in such a difficult situation? "
"After my father died, he disappeared. According to the Medical Fanatic, he went to find some Ice Dragon's blood to replenish his meridians. I don't believe that such a thing exists in this world, but I hope that he does, because if that's the case, he will return. Otherwise, with his stubborn temper and proud character, he would rather be buried in that land of extreme cold than return — —"
"I always wanted to do something for him. Challenging the Divine Dragon was an arduous task. In the past, I only dared to think about it in secret, and was even too embarrassed to say it out loud. I was afraid that your master would hear me and kill me with his sword. I always thought, 'I don't believe that I can't catch up to you, I don't believe that you won't grow old, you won't grow weak, you won't die.' That became a demon in my heart, a thorn in my side — "
"In front of that huge vat, I understood. If I had fear in my heart, I would never be able to defeat your master. I would never be able to avenge the old drunkard. The Dao of Man is the Heavenly Dao. If you go against your own thoughts, then you will be going against the Heavenly Dao. Not only will your cultivation level not improve, you might even regress — — because you have a mental demon — —"
"So, you were able to ascend to the Overflow realm because you made up your mind to challenge my master?" Gongsun Qi asked.
"No." Fang Yan shook his head. "I was able to ascend to the Overflowing State because my thoughts were clear — — I understood the things that I couldn't understand before. I made my final decision on the things that had always made me waver — — of course, the reason I challenged your master was also to make my thoughts clear. If I don't do this, if I keep thinking about postponing and refusing, then I will eventually lose the courage and opportunity to challenge him. "
"I understand," Gongsun Qi thought for a while, then looked at Fang Yan and said: "I won't give you my blessing."
"I understand," Fang Yan nodded. He patted Gongsun Qi's shoulder and said: "I'm already very grateful that you chased after me and told me this."
"But" Gongsun Qi thought for a bit and said: "I don't want you to fail either."
Fang Yan squinted his eyes and smiled, then turned around and left.
"Clear thoughts." Gongsun Qi looked at Fang Yan's elegant back and muttered: "Master wanted to battle you because he wanted his thoughts to be clear. You came to challenge my master because you wanted your thoughts to be clear. But do you know that the way you are doing it is making it hard for my thoughts to be clear? "
The news that Fang Yan wanted to challenge the Dragon God spread to a certain group of people in Beijing very quickly.
"Is that kid crazy? Why would he dare to challenge the divine dragon? "
"A horse doesn't know what's good for him. With his mediocre skills, he dares to challenge the three dragons of Hua Xia? He's far from it. "
"Hehe, there's going to be a good show. The Heavenly Dao realm expert who destroyed the Fang family years ago, Mo Qinglong, probably won't show any mercy this time, right?"
There was a lot of discussion, but no one believed that Fang Yan could defeat the divine dragon and become the final winner of this battle.
The Jiang family mansion.
Jiang Xi Fu looked at his grandson, General Xing, who was sitting in front of him, and said, "It seems like the news is true. A few old friends in the martial world called me, and Tigress also has some connections. That brat really went to challenge the Dragon God —"
General Xing grinned: "Grandpa, what's there to be afraid of? Isn't this good news for us? Since Fang Yan took the initiative to issue a challenge to Mr. Dragon God, only death awaits him. If Fang Yan dies or gets injured by Mr. Dragon God's hands, our Jiang Family will be able to reap the benefits. Previously, the Fang Family's Mo Qingdi was crippled by Mr. Dragon God after his tendons were broken, and the Fang Family was bullied and humiliated. Until now, they have not recovered. If something like this happens again, it will not be anything new. "
"Have you thought about it?" Jiang Xifu looked at General Xing with a serious expression and said: "Why does Fang Yan want to challenge the divine dragon? What makes him think that he can challenge the divine dragon? You've interacted with him many times. Do you think he's crazy? Or is there something wrong with his IQ? "
"I've heard —" General Xing knew that the old man in front of him was angry, so he toned down his attitude and said: "Fang Yan broke through the Water Overflow State and became a powerhouse that can compete with the Heavenly Path State. If he didn't do this and didn't challenge the divine dragon, our Jiang family would have to adjust our attitude towards him. However, he's courting death by challenging Mr. Dragon — how could he be Mr. Dragon's opponent? Strangling talents is exactly what Mr. Dragon God likes to do. "
"What if?" Jiang Xifu asked.
"What?" General Xing did not understand the meaning behind his grandfather's words.
"If Fang Yan defeats the divine dragon, if Fang Yan wins this battle —" Jiang Xifu looked at General Xing with a sharp gaze and asked: "Have you thought about what the Jiang family should do when that happens?"
