Chen Yong’s face was full of confidence.
In his view, Shuang Han Palace had no choice but to accept the olive branch thrown by the Chen family.
But Su Lengyun remained expressionless and said, “Just because other sects compromise doesn’t mean that our Frost Cold Palace will. Please leave.”
Chen Yong narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “Palace Master Su, have you really considered this carefully? If you refuse us now, what awaits your Frost Cold Palace will be violent annexation!”
Su Lengyun’s face changed slightly.
Noticing this, Chen Yong once again wore a smug smile on his face and said, “Master Su, there’s really no need to be so rigid. In today’s Huaibei martial arts world, our chances of the Chen family ascending to the top are very high. Young Master Chen Luo is currently in seclusion, striving for the Martial Saint realm. I believe it won’t be long before he successfully emerges.”
“A martial saint who is less than thirty years old, what concept is that? Our Chen family will not only reach the top of Huaibei, but also because of Young Master Chen Luo’s existence, become famous throughout China!”
“The Frost and Cold Palace will become a subsidiary sect of our Chen family. We will never mistreat you and will definitely give you enough benefits.”
Chen Yong’s tone was very confident and self-assured.
Chen Luo is about to break through to the Martial Saint realm…
As for this message, Su Lengyun had heard it for the first time.
If it were true, then it would indeed shock the Chinese martial arts world as Chen Yong said.
A martial saint under thirty years old… Such a feat is rarely seen throughout all of Chinese history.
“Master Su, don’t hesitate any longer, cooperate with our Chen family. In fact, becoming a vassal family of our Chen family, we won’t do anything to Frost Cold Palace. You will still be Frost Cold Palace, and you will still be the palace master. We won’t interfere too much…” said Chen Yong.
“If I still refuse, what will you do?” Su Lengyun asked.
“Well, that’s a tough one. Nobody likes violence,” Chen Yong said with a smile.
“Please leave,” Su Lengyun said calmly.
Chen Yong’s face changed.
He didn’t expect that after saying so much, Su Lengyun’s decision was still a refusal!
“Master Su, you…” Chen Yong still wanted to say something.
“I said it before, our Frost Cold Palace will not submit to any family. Please leave immediately,” Su Lengyun said coldly.
Chen Yong’s face was changing rapidly.
And the four masters behind him all wore grim expressions.
A few seconds later, Chen Yong suddenly grinned and said, “Well, Lord Su Gong, this is your decision. I hope you won’t regret it later.”
After that, Chen Yong turned and walked out.
Four masters glanced at each other, then followed him out of the meeting room.
Su Lengyun stood on the spot, watching the backs of these people leaving, her beautiful brows furrowed.
“Third Master, are you really just leaving like that? The head of the family specifically ordered us to…” A master approached Chen Yong after he left the living room, hesitantly saying.
“I’ve said what I needed to say, but Su Lengyun’s attitude remains so resolute. What can I do?” Chen Yong said coldly, “Do you really want to take action? This woman is a Martial Venerable. The four of you combined might not even be her match.”
“That homeowner’s side…”
“It’s nothing, just report the situation truthfully. The head of the family will make the decision naturally.” Chen Yong’s eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness as he said, “Rest assured, Frost Cold Palace is already ours for the taking, there’s no way they can escape.”
……
When Fang Yu returned to the apartment, Violet was sitting on the sofa in the living room, with dull eyes and a pale face.
“Accept your fate? Then that’s good. When we study you later, try to cooperate as much as possible. That way, it can reduce a lot of unnecessary pain.” Fang Yu said.
Violet mechanically turned her head, looking at Fang Yu, her violet eyes filled with fear.
After suffering through the pain just now, she had realized something.
That is, she’s completely finished.
Her life was controlled by others, and she lost the most important autonomy!
Even if she recovers her energy and escapes from here, it’s useless!
As long as Fang Yu doesn’t remove the mark from her soul, she will never be able to turn things around!
Once she realized this, Violet felt utterly defeated.
Everything I have ever achieved now seems worthless.
She even felt that it would be better to just die.
Fāng Yǔ sat down on the sofa opposite Lavender and smiled, “Come on, answer me a few questions.”
“You wouldn’t want to go through that pain again, would you?” Fang Yu asked.
Violet trembled and looked up.
“The stone inside you definitely wasn’t there from birth. When and where did you get it?” Fang Yu asked.
“Fifteen years ago, I was on a mission in Africa. The mission failed, I fell into the hands of the enemy, and was thrown into a mine shaft. That’s when I discovered this crystal. It entered my body willingly, and after that, I could use the energy it contained.” Violet said in a low voice.
“The changes in your body started after that crystal entered you, didn’t they?” Fang Yu looked at Violet’s violet hair and violet eyes, and said.
“Hmm,” Violet replied.
……
Fang Yu asked Violet several questions and received answers from her.
But this information is not crucial.
Even Violet herself, does not understand the composition and origin of this crystal.
“Well, it doesn’t really matter what it’s made of. I just need to figure out how to absorb it.”
Fang Yu quickly started the research.
He used the Soul Devouring Art to absorb a small amount of energy from Violet’s body, then locked that energy within himself, attempting to break it down and study it.
Such a study took up several days.
During this time, Fang Yu was on the verge of neglecting sleep and food.
Until Sunday, someone knocked on the door, and Fang Yu was finally pulled out of this state.
“Fang Yu, why haven’t you answered my phone calls for two or three days!” Tang Xiaorou, wearing a sky-blue dress, appeared before Fang Yu.
“I’m busy, what do you want?” Fang Yu asked.
“Let me have a look at you.” Tang Xiaorou strode into the room and sat down on the sofa.
Violet was locked in the guest room. Tang Xiaorou didn’t see her.
Fang Yu closed the door and looked at Tang Xiaorou’s short hair, saying, “You changed your hairstyle?”
Tang Xiaorou’s face changed slightly, she bit her pink lips and asked in a low voice: “… How is it? Is it pretty?”
“Usually,” Fang Yu said.
Tang Xiaorou’s expression faltered.
Under normal circumstances, Fang Yu should have complimented her, but his response was unexpectedly bland.
But, thinking about how this person is Fang Yu, not saying she’s ugly is already pretty good.
Sitting on the sofa, Tang Xiaorou suddenly remembered something. She kicked her legs and widened her beautiful eyes, asking: “Fang Yu, when elective courses were open for registration a few days ago, there was a course called Literature and Writing in the College of Literature. The guest professor teaching it was named Fang Yu… This whole incident caused a stir throughout the university. Is this person really you?”
“It’s me,” Fang Yu replied.
Tang Xiaorou brought up the matter, and he remembered that he had a class next Wednesday.
“It’s really you?!” Tang Xiaorou exclaimed, jumping to her feet with excitement.
“What’s wrong?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow.
“You, you really became a guest professor…” Tang Xiaorou stared blankly at Fang Yu, muttering to herself.
In her opinion, Fang Yu’s age and achievements would be a pity if he didn’t go to college.
Unbeknownst to him, Fang Yu was directly appointed as a visiting professor at the School of Literature, Nandu University!
It is important to know that Nantahua University, being ranked among the top ten universities in China, has extremely high academic standards for its professors.
Fang Yu, a student who just finished the college entrance examination, shouldn’t be able to become a professor, even an adjunct professor!
“If I don’t go to college, I’ve got to find something to do or else I’ll be bored out of my mind,” Fang Yu said.
“…Tang Xiaorou looked at Fang Yu, speechless.”
“If there’s nothing else, you can go back. I have something to do.” Fang Yu said.
Tang Xiaorou was still stunned. “Fang Yu, this course seems to be very popular. Many students want to see your level. You… are you confident?”
Fang Yu smiled faintly.
He had been acquainted with many famous literary figures in history. Though his own literary level wasn’t particularly high, he was more than capable of instructing a group of young people in their early twenties.
“I also wanted to take your class, but I didn’t get a spot… I’m going to audit on Wednesday!” Tang Xiaorou said firmly. “Hmph, I want to see what you’re capable of!”
“Alright, you can go now.” Fang Yu unceremoniously dismissed the guest.
