Chapter 899
Xiao Yan's Awakening!
"I've explained everything clearly, have you heard me? You should know how glorious your family once was, right? It was once the most powerful family on the entire Dou Qi Continent, with Dou Di bloodlines within you. It's just a pity that your family fell to this state because of your childhood sweetheart. I don't care if you harbor resentment or not, it has nothing to do with me. If I hadn't owed your ancestor a favor, I wouldn't have come all this way to tell you these things, to explain everything clearly so you can see things clearly. This way, it'll be easier for me to resolve many issues. Otherwise, if you misunderstand and think I have ill intentions, I really won't be able to explain myself. If you then push all the blame onto me, I'll be truly unlucky." "I can say that if I didn't owe your family a favor, I would never have come here to help, because that would be tantamount to offending them. Their family is now arguably the most powerful family in the entire Dou Qi Continent. The other family that's yours is choosing to keep a low profile, but they're still very powerful, truly the number one family. Even though they've been ranked second for millennia, their family is not to be underestimated. I don't want to offend them, but I have no choice. I owe your family a favor, and in this situation, not helping isn't an option. It's truly an unlucky situation. That's why I made sure you heard clearly, saw clearly, and understood clearly. Only then can you honestly cultivate properly and understand what a good person is and what a bad person is. I know you want to say that your childhood sweetheart isn't a bad person."
"It was his family that arranged for him to do this; it has nothing to do with him. But have you ever considered the difference? His target is your family's heirloom, the treasure in your hands. Your family's treasure—does that mean he has little to do with his family? Don't try to defend him. If you insist on defending him, then focus on your own cultivation from now on and don't come looking for me. I know you'll say you won't. But have you considered the consequences? The consequences will be a terrible death. I'm not joking. If you don't believe me, ask your master why he ended up like this. You should ask him properly. The family your family offended, or rather, the family that is your family's enemy, is connected to your master."
"If they find out you have a relationship with your master and are growing stronger, I can guarantee you'll die a horrible death, a truly unimaginable one. I can guarantee that. If I can't even guarantee that, then things will get really messy. You need to understand this, you need to know this is something you have to go through, something you can't avoid. There's no way around it, whether you're willing or not, you have to face it. You have to understand this no matter what. I know you're a smart child, a very smart child, otherwise you wouldn't have achieved what you have at such a young age. I'm not mocking you, but telling you a fact, a truth. I hope you can understand all of this, and I don't want you to be misled by it, I don't want anything to go wrong in your life. This is not a good thing for your life, I can tell you clearly, this will not benefit your life at all."
"Now you understand, right? If you don't understand, then I can't help you. You have to understand these things and figure them out. It's something you have to do."
"What you're saying is that I shouldn't have anything to do with her in the future, right?"
Xiao Yan's words made Fang Yu laugh, and then he continued...
"If you want to maintain a relationship, I won't stop you; it's your own business. I just owe your family a favor, and now I have to repay it. If you're willing, I don't mind if you don't repay it. Anyway, I've done what I needed to say and do. After all, this is a debt I owe your family. I've told you so much, and in a sense, I've repaid it all. We're even now. So, you don't need to say anything else here. We truly owe each other nothing, and I don't want to owe your family anything. None of this matters to me. What's important is that you understand this. If you don't understand, then don't blame me for being impolite. Whatever happens to your family in the future will have nothing to do with me. I won't care what happens to your family. What happens to you has nothing to do with me, and it will have absolutely no relation to me."
"Sir, is this a sign that you want to abandon our family and have nothing to do with it, or do you think our family is a burden and are telling me this just to repay a favor?"
Xiao Yan's words were tinged with bitterness, and Fang Yu laughed at them.
"Otherwise, what do you think it is? Do you think I have such a good relationship with your family? Or do you think I'm going to be some great saint, doing good deeds? Do you think that's possible? Even a saint wouldn't easily meddle in other people's business. A saint would just resolve the problem in a few words, and if he couldn't resolve it, he would just slap the other party to death."
Since we can't solve the problem, we should solve the problem by eliminating the person who created it. That's a way to solve the problem, and a very effective one at that. You need to understand this: if you can't solve the problem, then solve the problem's creator. That way, all the problems will be resolved, and no more problems or troubles will arise. You need to understand this: no matter what happens, the key is to solve the problem. If you can't solve the problem, then solve the problem's creator. That's the solution, the most direct, straightforward, decisive, and problem-free method.
"Once the people are gone, the problem will naturally be solved and will no longer exist. In this way, all the men can be dealt with cleanly and efficiently in one go, without any problems."
"If you insist it's nothing, then fine. To me, I'm just saying this to you. As for the rest, that's none of my business. Do whatever you want, just don't cause me trouble. As long as you don't cause me trouble, everything will be fine. If you do, then you'd better watch yourself. I absolutely won't interfere in your affairs right now. Your affairs have no meaning or value to me, and you need to understand that. If you insist on doing this, then there's nothing I can do. All I can do is make you obedient. That's all I've said. If you don't obey, then it's even less of my concern; it's your own business. Actually, I do care about you, and I admire you. After all, you do have some ability. If you didn't even have that much ability, then I would be truly disappointed. Really, utterly disappointed. I don't know how to say all this to you; I just hope you understand."
"If you don't understand, that's alright. I've said everything I needed to say, and the favor has been repaid. As for how you proceed in the future, that's your own business." Fang Yu's heartfelt words made Xiao Yan nod, and then he solemnly bowed to Fang Yu.
"Thank you for your guidance, sir. Thank you for your kindness. If it weren't for your help, I would have been deceived for the rest of my life."
"If I were to truly hand over the family treasure to…! I would become a sinner against the family, and I simply cannot bear that guilt. So please rest assured, sir, I will never easily trust anyone again. You can rest assured about that as well."
"You've misunderstood. This has nothing to do with me. It's your own business. Whether you trust or are willing to trust others in the future? To be honest, it has absolutely nothing to do with me, and I don't think it has anything to do with me. It's all useless to me and has absolutely no relation to me. So you don't need to come here to ask me anymore, and don't think you can get any benefits from me. I've told you everything that needs to be told and given to you clearly and plainly. Let everything take its natural course. The problem is, if you can't solve it, then you must solve the problem by dealing with the person who created it."
"This is my final advice to you. The rest is up to you. In a few days, something huge might happen. You must be mentally prepared. If you're not mentally prepared, then don't bother. If you beat someone up, bully someone, or even kill someone, I won't care. But you also need to have enough strength to do that. If you don't have enough strength, it's no different from courting death."
“What I’m saying is the truth, it’s absolutely true, it’s the complete truth, and it’s really true. There’s absolutely no problem with it, not even the slightest problem. You just need to believe everything I’m saying.”
"I naturally believe what you say, sir, but I think there are still some things you haven't said."
"You are very clever, extremely clever. It must be a pleasure to meet someone as clever as you. I believe your ancestors would be overjoyed to know that such a brilliant descendant would appear. I can guarantee that. If I couldn't even make that guarantee, I would truly disappoint you. However, I can assure you that everything will go very smoothly. Rest assured, everything will be fine and there won't be any problems. As for you, life is full of problems, and you can solve them yourself. If you can't solve them, then I'll trouble your teacher to solve them. He at least has some skill, and besides, I've given him a cultivation technique to make him even stronger."
"As long as he cultivates diligently and patiently, there will be absolutely no problem, not a single problem whatsoever. You can rest assured, truly rest assured."
“Sometimes I don’t know what to say. All I know is that if things aren’t completely resolved, the consequences will be very serious. You have to remember one thing: you must cut the weeds and pull them out by the roots. You must remove them completely, leaving no hidden dangers, because you will have to bear the consequences of any hidden dangers. These consequences could have been avoided, but because you showed leniency, they have occurred. So cutting the weeds and pulling them out by the roots is what you must do. You can’t be soft-hearted at all. You absolutely cannot let this situation happen. If you do, then you will definitely be the one who suffers, absolutely you, and it will inevitably become you.”
"You need to understand all of this, you need to think it through. Don't think you don't need to think about these things; you absolutely must. If you don't, the consequences will be extremely serious—so serious that you could ruin your family and friends. This is a very real possibility. If you don't believe me, you can ask your teacher if this is true. I can guarantee he has experienced it firsthand; he has gone through something similar and he definitely understands. Okay, I've made everything clear to you, and you understand now. I can leave with peace of mind. Otherwise, later..." There will be a lot of trouble coming my way, and I don't want to encounter so much trouble. You should handle these problems yourselves; just don't bother me. It's better for us all to avoid having to trouble you. It's truly beneficial for everyone. I don't want this to happen either, but there's nothing I can do. Sometimes it happens even if I don't want it to, and sometimes I wish it wouldn't happen. That's incredibly frustrating. After all, the good thing you've been hoping for doesn't happen. Can you imagine how painful that is? Isn't it absolutely agonizing? Absolutely agonizing. (End of Chapter)
