Chapter 905
Revealing the Truth!
"Old man, go to the side first. I have some things to say to your disciple. You can't listen to these things; only your disciple can hear them. You can't listen to them because there's nothing I can do about it. I hope you can understand."
Upon arriving at the Xiao family, Fang Yu went straight to Xiao Yan, who was recovering his talent, and then summoned the medicinal dust from Xiao Yan's body, telling him to leave immediately.
"Is there anything you can't know?"
"I've already said this is between the two of us, it has nothing to do with you. Because this matter is very important, but I can't tell you, I'm really sorry. So don't expect to get any answers from me, you won't get them. There's no room for negotiation on this matter. I hope you can understand. If you don't understand, then there's nothing I can do. I can only say that we have nothing to say to each other. This is the truth, and I hope you can understand. Remember, don't even think about eavesdropping. Whether you eavesdrop or not, I can find out, so don't be clever and don't even have that idea. Doing so won't actually benefit either of us, and you should understand that."
"Alright, I won't go into the rest. Just understand what I'm saying, because the rest, as I just said, is beyond your understanding."
Hearing Fang Yu's impolite words, the old man, though his face turned somewhat ugly, could only leave without saying anything more.
"Xiao Yan, you've probably already guessed it. I come from the same place as you. Now, there's something I need to tell you. It's very important and serious, and I hope you can understand. Do you remember everything I told you before? Something has changed. This matter is very important, and you absolutely must know. If you don't know, it could cause a lot of trouble. This matter is extremely serious, and I hope you understand. So, after thinking it over, I've decided to tell you first. If something goes wrong and things change drastically, I'll be held responsible. Under these circumstances, I feel it's necessary for me to explain everything to you."
Fang Yu's words left Xiao Yan completely bewildered, unable to understand their meaning.
"Just say what you want to say, there's nothing you can't say."
"Actually, it's quite simple. Besides the two of us, there's a third person in the same situation as us, who also knows what will happen in the future. That person is your fiancée, Nalan Yanran. She comes from that place just like us, only we come from different worlds. Because we know everything, she didn't come here to break off the engagement. Logically speaking, your fiancée should look down on you for being a good-for-nothing, so she should come to break off the engagement with you, and then you should make that so-called three-year agreement. Then you can resolve this matter and successfully become powerful."
"But now that he knows everything, things are going to get very complicated, and I hope you can understand that. He won't come back to break off the engagement; on the contrary, he'll keep his promise. He'll ask you to marry her. If you don't want to, you'd better think carefully about how to handle this. If you do, then pretend I never said anything, but I hope you can make the right choice. This is a very important matter."
"Therefore, I didn't intend to hide anything from you, nor did I want to hide anything from you saying anything indifferent. After all, this matter is of great importance. I hope you can understand a little bit. Really, this matter is of such great importance that I have to make it clear to you. I really, really hope you can understand. Stop thinking about those things. Anyway, you really have to understand this matter."
"I understand what you mean, but I will not marry her. After all, I've never even seen her face. How could I possibly marry her? Don't you think that makes sense?"
Zhao Yan's answer relieved Fang Yu slightly, and Fang Yu continued.
"You're right, that's exactly the point, absolutely correct. That's why I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. You've finally made a relatively correct choice, a truly correct one. The rest is up to you. Anyway, I've already explained everything to you. Think about it slowly yourself, and don't dwell on the bad things. You just need to focus on your cultivation quickly. After all, there are many things you can only do after you've grown, and that can easily affect the outcome. You should be very clear about that."
"Don't worry, I won't make the wrong choice. Even if I do, I can handle it myself. You can rest assured, nothing will happen."
"Now I can finally relax completely. I'm confident that everything that happens next will be handled smoothly without any major problems. I was really worried about things going wrong, which is why I didn't dare tell you all this. But now I can finally relax. However, don't even mention this to your master. Also, your fiancée's strength has now reached the same level as your father's, which is the Great Dou Master realm. So, if you want to be worthy of her, or if you want to break off the engagement, you first have to surpass her. After all, this matter is quite significant. You should be very clear about this. Really, this matter is extremely important."
"I understand everything you've said."
"I never imagined he could cultivate so quickly; it's truly surprising."
"He's a few years older than you, so it's normal for things to turn out this way. Things didn't go as you expected. It's really upsetting when things don't go as planned. I didn't expect things to get so serious; it was completely beyond my expectations. But even though it was beyond my expectations, it didn't go too far astray in the end, so it was somewhat useful. It wasn't completely useless, right? It wasn't like nothing happened at all."
“Yes, that’s right,”
"
Xiao Yan nodded in agreement. "Alright, I've made myself clear. The rest is up to you to handle. I can't help you much more. Things have already gone awry. You think you can solve it? Then show me. I want to see how you plan to resolve it, since these matters are indeed far from trivial. Even if I wanted to solve it, it wouldn't be easy. If it were easy, I would have already done it for you. After all, if it were easy, I wouldn't need to tell you all this."
"In fact, these things were indeed beyond our expectations and imagination. They were really, really beyond our expectations and completely unexpected."
"Alright, there's a lot going to happen now, and you have to be prepared for everything. If you're not prepared, things could get complicated; if you are, that would be great. I believe you're fully prepared, and I'm looking forward to your brilliant performance. Really, I really hope to see how far you've grown. I hope everything goes smoothly. That way, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. If things don't go well, that would be terrible, and I really wouldn't know how to deal with those setbacks."
"No matter what setbacks occur, I believe they can all be resolved; nothing is insurmountable. This is a fact, the truth, isn't it? This is something that must be understood."
Xiao Yan's words made Fang Yu laugh, and then he reprimanded him without any politeness.
"What you said is true, but when did it become your place to lecture me? I say what I mean, and stop thinking about those things. You need to get those things done, instead of trying to trap me. Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious."
"If even I get caught up in this, then there's no way to resolve anything now or in the future, really. The future is truly unpredictable. Because nobody knows what will happen, nobody knows what the outcome will be, nobody really knows what will happen. Sigh, it's really too painful."
"The situation has now developed to the point of being out of control, truly out of control."
"If things continue like this, the consequences will be unimaginable. But you don't need to worry about the chances of this happening; they're practically negligible. After all, it's impossible for him to be out of control, and he's currently hoping you'll marry him. Your future prospects are very promising, and under these circumstances, he definitely wants to curry favor with you. He has to stick with you no matter what, and once he has you on his side, things will be much easier later on."
"This is his idea, not mine. It has nothing to do with me. I will absolutely not marry her. There is no room for negotiation on this matter. I will give him some compensation to make him satisfied."
"You want to please her? I think you're overthinking it. It's impossible. The only way to please her is to marry her. Her only goal is for you to marry her."
"He wants to be your wife. That's all he said. That's all he wanted to do. There were no other questions."
"But I would never agree to that. I can't possibly put my life on a woman I've never met."
Xiao Yan said these words without hesitation, which made Fang Yu nod in agreement.
"What you said is true, and I admire you quite a bit, but the result is not as simple as you think. Sometimes it's not that easy. Sometimes it really isn't as easy as you imagine. After all, you are in a family, and you are bound by the family many times. This is something that is completely beyond our control. There is really no way at all. If only there were even the slightest way, but unfortunately, there is not a single way."
"If there's no other way, then there's nothing more to say."
"No matter what, it's impossible for me to marry her. No matter what the cost, it will be canceled. No matter how much her family pressures me, no matter what their purpose or conspiracy is, I will never be with him."
Xiao Yan answered the question just as decisively: he had no intention of marrying someone he had never met.
"Actually, I admire you for your courage, but resolving all of this isn't something courage alone can do. You also need sufficient strength. Without enough strength, trying to resolve all of this is just wishful thinking, an unrealistic dream. So don't even have this idea; it shouldn't exist. If it does, you're just daydreaming."
"Let's not even talk about how your fiancée is already more capable than you. So, if you want to break off the engagement, you first need to be far more outstanding and more capable than her. But do you think you can do that now? You absolutely cannot. You've been left far behind by her, and catching up with her is no easy task; it's incredibly difficult, so difficult that you simply can't handle it. Under these circumstances, you'll have to put in a hundred times, a thousand times the effort, just to have a sliver of hope. This is a fact, a pure fact, without any falsehood. If you're not even willing to pay this price, then wanting to surpass her in the future is nothing but wishful thinking." "Thinking about it is utterly delusional, completely unrealistic. I can tell you this clearly; it's simply impossible. You should know this, and you should understand not to think about those wrong things. Those wrong things are meaningless to you. You need to understand this, and you must understand it. I don't want to tell you too much, I've just told you what I need to tell you. The rest is up to you. Just don't come looking for me. As long as you don't come looking for me, everything will be fine. As long as you don't come looking for me, then everything will be alright. Really, all the problems will disappear, not a single problem is needed. Sigh."
"Alright, now it's up to you. If everything goes smoothly, then there's nothing to worry about. Even if things don't go well, it's not a big deal." (End of Chapter)
