Chapter 30: With a Heart for the World, Fang Zhi Knows the Suffering of All
Inside the One Heart Sect.
"Sect Leader, Night Demon has already entered the White Cloud Martial Academy to report."
Great Offering Mu Linyuan softly reminded.
Yin Shen Gong gave a hum, not caring.
Mu Linyuan said, "Sect Leader, now that I think about it, Night Demon's identity... I'm afraid the Warden's side is already suspicious. If they inform the White Cloud Martial Academy, then..."
He sighed, "Back then, the operation against the Su Family of Azure Wave City was a bit reckless."
"Reckless?"
Yin Shen Gong looked at Mu Linyuan, a strange look in his eyes, a bit of sarcasm: "Great Offering, you think it was reckless? You only think it was reckless now?"
Yin Shen Gong emphasized the word 'now' heavily.
"Could it be..."
Mu Linyuan was stunned.
Yin Shen Gong closed his eyes and said faintly, "This is where Night Demon's true value lies!"
"Ah?"
Mu Linyuan was taken aback.
He didn't understand. The incident in Azure Wave City left heavy traces of the sect, leading to Night Demon being targeted before even joining the sect. How could it become a value? Yin Shen Gong closed his eyes, his voice ethereal: "The White Cloud Martial Academy, including the Grand Competition, is a hurdle that Night Demon must overcome, and the other party will not make it too difficult for him. If Night Demon can't even pass this hurdle, then he will die.
"After all, he is just a newly joined disciple. His life and death have no value at the moment. Only after he passes this hurdle will he slowly show his value. This is a long-term plan. First, he must have the qualifications to become a long-term asset. Offering Mu, you are still more suitable for combat."
Yin Shen Gong stopped speaking.
Mu Linyuan thought for a long time after returning to his residence, only to feel that it was still a mess.
It seemed he understood, but it seemed he didn't.
"Am I really only suitable for combat?"
Night Dream was diligently cleaning the new home.
Currently, only she and Fang Che lived in this large courtyard with three layers and a large garden.
Night Dream was cleaning by herself, and it could be said to be very tiring without using cultivation.
But she was still cleaning with great interest.
Night Dream, who lost her parents at the age of two, this large courtyard was the first she had ever owned in her life.
Although the name was registered under Fang Che, Night Dream still had a kind of hostess excitement.
Arranging things back and forth, directing the placement of various furniture, cleaning the yard, arranging the rooms...
She was busy and sweating, but still enjoying it.
After the delivery people had all left, Night Dream finished cleaning up and stared blankly at the brand-new courtyard.
Her eyes were filled with unspeakable affection.
Infiltrating Fang Che's side during this period, apart from not being able to display her cultivation, was actually the most comfortable time of her life.
No competition, no pressure, no fighting.
Although Fang Che often spoke harshly to her, Night Dream knew in her heart that this Young Master Fang was not bad to her at all.
He could even be said to be extremely good!
Although he had the title of a heretical demonic figure, he really had nothing to say to her.
The Heavenly Vein Vermillion Fruit improved her aptitude—this alone was an act of kindness as high as the sky and as deep as the earth.
Apart from parents giving it to their children, or a master giving it to their successor, who else would be willing to give such a good thing to an outsider?
But Fang Che just gave it to her to eat.
And those most orthodox cultivation methods, all kinds of martial arts postures that removed the dross and extracted the essence...
He had corrected almost all of her original mistakes!
Making her combat power more than double? Even fighting beyond her level now, she had a certain degree of confidence!
And the various elixirs for ordinary cultivation... Even in those great sects and major Martial Academies, these things had to be snatched!
But Fang Che just gave them to her to eat.
Although he was usually cold and didn't have a good face, he really cared about her!
Although he shouted every day about selling her into a brothel, this guy probably didn't even know what a brothel was for, right? He didn't even know to change his words when scaring people.
"Sigh..."
Night Dream sighed softly in her heart.
She asked herself in her heart, if one day, the higher-ups gave an order to kill Fang Che.
Then would she really be able to do it?
Thinking of this, she bit her lip tightly.
'Who told you to be a heretical demonic figure… who told me to just be an undercover agent? Who told us that we have different beliefs?'
Night Dream was only fragile for a short time before she recovered.
Then she began to arrange the new home.
That person had a bad temper, if he came back and saw that it hadn't been cleaned up, he would definitely throw a tantrum.
Fang Che was also dumbfounded when he was taken away.
What's wrong with me? What did I do?
Why was he taken away as soon as he reported? The office building was very majestic, with the words 'White Cloud Martial Academy' in the middle.
On both sides were a pair of couplets, glittering with golden light.
They were actually made by melting gold and using pure gold to stamp ten large characters, each character being about two zhang in size, with a majestic aura that illuminated the heavens and the earth.
The upper couplet: Cherish a heart to save the world.
The lower couplet: Fang Zhi knows the difficulty of all beings.
Signed: Yao Guang.
Very ordinary two sentences.
But Fang Che suddenly stopped, staring intently at these two sentences, feeling as if a great bell was ringing in his mind, suddenly shaking him.
For a moment, he felt dizzy.
He instinctively felt that this had something to do with him.
But no matter how he thought, he couldn't remember.
He looked at the words 'Yao Guang' in the signature, unable to move his feet, feeling a surge of qi and blood in his chest, his vision blurred.
Seeing Fang Che staring blankly at the couplet, the people accompanying him also stopped in unison.
The white-bearded old man sighed softly, his voice filled with infinite respect.
"This is a couplet personally written by Meng Chuxing, Lord Yao Guang, the ninth headmaster of our White Cloud Martial Academy five hundred and twenty years ago. It replaced the original couplet encouraging learning and left these two words of warning to the world."
"Cherish a heart to save the world, Fang Zhi knows the difficulty of all beings. These two sentences are so true. Only by cherishing the world and wanting to save it can one understand the difficulty that all beings in this mortal world face in the face of the Sole True Sect. And precisely because we understand this difficulty, we work harder to find every possible way to save the world."
"Lord Meng was farsighted and compassionate. He served as the headmaster of the White Cloud Martial Academy for four hundred and fifty years before finally resigning. Before leaving, he pointed to the couplet above and said to Meng Hejun, the newly appointed headmaster at the time: Remember these two sentences!"
The white-bearded old man said with admiration, "Lord Meng Chuxing sat in the White Cloud Martial Academy, working diligently and tirelessly. He could even remember every student during his tenure. From then on, our White Cloud Martial Academy was able to truly join the ranks of the eight major Martial Academies, and gradually climbed to fifth place in the teaching over the years!"
"And the succeeding Headmaster Meng Hejun was the only beloved daughter of Lord Meng Chuxing, and she kept Lord Meng's teachings in mind, persisting unchanged for more than a hundred years. After retiring, she also served as the honorary headmaster of our White Cloud Martial Academy. Our White Cloud Martial Academy is now thriving and full of talents, all thanks to the two Lords Meng."
The group of people had deep respect on their faces, and when the white-bearded old man said this, they bowed deeply towards the couplet and the signature on the couplet.
Fang Che only felt golden thunder rumbling in his mind.
As if something was about to break out of its shell.
For a time, his head ached terribly.
Whether it was this couplet, the name 'Meng Chuxing', or the words 'Yao Guang', they all made him feel a tremor in his soul.
Just as everyone was showing admiration.
'Ding-ling-ling...'
A clear and ethereal bell sound floated out from the building, and a person walked out.
It was a woman.
Dressed in a purple dress, she was naturally peerless, with a dignified aura of someone who had been in a high position for a long time, and naturally had an air of majesty.
On her wrist, she was wearing a string of delicate bells. Made of unknown material, they emitted a soft white light.
As she walked, the crisp and low bell sounds naturally rang out.
Like wind through bamboo forests, creating natural music.
White waves on a sandy beach, naturally formed.
As the purple-clad woman emerged, she looked at the faces of the crowd and smiled, "Huang Yifan, why are you all suddenly bowing here?"
Huang Yifan, with his white beard, and the others bowed in unison, their faces overflowing with respect, "Greetings, Lady Meng."
The purple-clad woman smiled, "I am no longer the Head of White Cloud Martial Academy, merely an honorary Head, there's no need for such formality."
"Lady Meng will always be the spiritual pillar of White Cloud Martial Academy!"
The white-bearded man said earnestly and seriously.
"You flatter me."
The purple-clad woman was clearly the 'only beloved daughter of Yao Guang Monarch Meng Chuxing, Meng Hejun, the tenth Head of White Cloud Martial Academy'.
Her purple robes fluttered as she walked down the steps, smiling, "Hurry and get back to work, several elders have summoned me, I must hurry."
"Safe travels, Lady Meng."
Meng Hejun nodded, striding away, and as she passed Fang Che, she casually said, "This is this year's new student? Only one has arrived so far?"
Huang Yifan hurriedly laughed, "Yes, so we wanted to give him a bit of a welcome."
The purple-clad woman clearly realized something, frowning, "Be careful. You have a fiery temper, don't be willful, discuss everything with Head Gao more."
"Yes, yes."
Huang Yifan repeatedly agreed.
Meng Hejun chuckled, saying to Fang Che, "Little one, don't be nervous, practice martial arts diligently in the future."
Fang Che only felt his mind somewhat dazed, and said, "Yes."
Meng Hejun nodded, came to his side, raised her hand, pointed to those ten words, and said, "Little one, see those ten words clearly. As a martial artist, you must always remember. Learning martial arts is to protect the goodness of this world and save the suffering of the people."
She patted Fang Che's shoulder, earnestly saying, "Have a heart to help the world, Fang Zhi knows the suffering of all beings. I only hope that one day, you can truly, from your own heart, recite these ten words, and strive for these ten words for the rest of your life. This world cannot withstand any more upheaval."
Her voice was gentle and kind, carrying boundless spiritual power, like a gentle stream, smoothing the waves in Fang Che's mind.
In an instant, he only felt a sense of tranquility.
"Strive hard! Walk the righteous path!"
Meng Hejun patted Fang Che's shoulder, and Fang Che felt a sense of mission being passed on to him.
It was as if his soul had been cleansed, an indescribable comfort.
Purple robes fluttering.
Meng Hejun soared into the sky in an instant, her graceful figure flashed, and in an instant, a point of purple light was already hundreds of feet away in the sky, and with another flash, she disappeared.
Huang Yifan shook his head and smiled wryly, "Lady Meng is as gentle and kind as ever, actually giving this little guy a Soul Cleansing Art before leaving."
He knew in his heart that the reason he sought out Fang Che was because he had received a message that Fang Che was a spy from the demonic sect, specifically sent to infiltrate the inside.
And Meng Hejun had obviously guessed this as well, she understood that they wouldn't really mobilize for an ordinary new student.
But she still did it.
Just because of her compassionate heart and teaching responsibility, she couldn't bear to see any student go astray.
So she gave Fang Che a Soul Cleansing Art.
"No wonder countless students who have left the White Cloud Martial Academy say that Lady Night Dream is someone who can save souls!"
Huang Yifan said with full of admiration, "I, Huang Yifan, have never admired many people in my life, but I admire the two Lady Night Dreams from the bottom of my heart."
The others laughed and said, "Only you admire them?"
Fang Che's mind calmed down, and when he subconsciously looked back, Lady Night Dream was already nowhere to be seen.
Only the subtle, crisp, heavenly-like bell sound seemed to be constantly echoing in his heart.
Ding-ling-ling...
Ding-ling-ling...
[Everyone, please add to your bookshelf so you don't get lost.]
That day I was eating peaches, freshly bought honey peaches. My wife changed into a newly bought white dress and twirled in front of me, asking if it looked good. I subconsciously took a bite of the peach and was about to say it looked good, but a stream of peach juice sprayed onto her collar and neck.
She was furious on the spot! My allowance for several days was deducted, plus the original private money, and I finally saved enough for the dress today.
This chapter is released in advance, I'm going to buy the dress...
Alas, I don't know what to say.
