Chapter 304 Shows that We Have Nothing to Be Ashamed Of!
After a day of reception, the rooms arranged by Tianshi Mansion for the guests were almost full, and the remaining empty rooms were reserved for those who arrived the next day, which was a minority.
After the dinner, everyone returned to the house early. After all, everyone was an opponent of each other, and no one wanted to expose their cards too early, so they basically hid them.
Of course, for the real strong, this kind of thing doesn't matter. At this time, Hong Bin and others were sitting in the yard with You Fang, drinking tea and chatting.
Starting tomorrow, their plan will be officially implemented. Although it shouldn't be a big problem with their strength, they still have to be cautious, just in case.
"I said, Lao You, you have to arrange a stronger opponent for me. Since I have made a breakthrough again, the brothers in the sect don't compete with me. I have been holding it back for a long time!" After chatting for a while, Hong Bin suddenly spoke.
"Don't worry, it's been arranged a long time ago. How about Zhuge Qing? This guy should have made a breakthrough in the past two years. You can compete with him and gain more experience in dealing with warlocks." You Fang replied with a smile.
To be honest, he had been looking forward to the battle between Hong Bin and Zhuge Qing for a long time. After all, in the original comics, Hong Bin was suppressed from beginning to end. Even though Zhuge Qing was arrogant, he still lost in the end.
But now it is different. Hong Bin not only mastered the "Pure Yin Fire", but also comprehended the "Principle of Yin and Yang". His cultivation is no longer the same as before, which is enough to reverse the outcome!
However, You Fang also knew very well that Zhuge Qing's progress in the past few years was not small, especially after joining the company's "Tianji Group", his strength in numerology was increasing day by day.
Through the ink mark left on Zhuge Bai, he basically understood Zhuge Qing's current strength. If Hong Bin did not go all out, it was not certain who would win!
This is interesting enough!
Not only Hong Bin, but also Fu Chen, Tang Yingjie and Xia Mingyu, You Fang had corresponding arrangements. The purpose of their appearance was to clear obstacles for Zhang Chulan, and those masters naturally had to be solved by them.
And it's not just Zhuge Qing. Due to his previous "interference", the strength of these guys is now far beyond the original. For example, Jia Zhengliang, who has obtained the "Shen Ji Bai Lian", and Feng Xingtong, who has the complete "Jingling and Sending Generals", are not to be underestimated!
"I have to remind you in advance that you must not be arrogant in this competition. None of your opponents are easy to deal with. Only by going all out can you ensure that there is no mistake!"
With this thought, You Fang also reminded.
"Don't worry, Lao You, this matter is up to us, you just take charge of the overall situation!"
And it can be seen that Hong Bin and others are also very confident. No matter how strong the opponent is, they are confident that they will win!
At this time...
Da, Da, Da!
A footstep suddenly sounded, attracting the attention of several people. They turned their heads and found that the person coming was Zhuge Qing.
"Everyone, long time no see, how are you?" Zhuge Qing narrowed his eyes, bowed to several people, and then walked closer with a smile on his face.
"Oh, it turns out to be a fox from the Zhuge family. What's up? What's up?"
When Hong Bin saw this guy, he didn't look very happy. He was also half an eyewitness to what happened back then, so he naturally didn't have a very good impression of him.
"Nothing, just come to say hello after not seeing each other for a long time. The Luotian Grand Ceremony will officially start tomorrow. We are opponents, so please show mercy."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, You Fang raised his eyebrows. He knew this guy's temper and knew that this was just a joke, but he could also see that this guy was not here to provoke.
No matter how cunning Zhuge Qing is, the integrity and character of the Zhuge family and the Wuhou faction will not change. He will not do such a clown-like behavior, which means...
"Are you here to apologize?"
He pointed it out.
"..."
"That's right."
Without any extra movements or any hesitation, Zhuge Qing smiled slightly, looked at You Fang, and then apologized and bowed.
"Youfang, I did something wrong back then. Although it's a little too late, I still want to make up for my apology. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have put your family in danger."
Zhuge Qing now knows very well that no matter how well prepared he was, it was a huge mistake to involve Lu Linglong in such danger, especially after Zhuge Bai was taken away by Mr. Lu, he could empathize even more.
In addition, the company later established the "Tianji Group" and invited the Zhuge family to participate, and Youfang was also behind it, which made him feel that maybe he could have changed a way at the beginning. He admitted that he was indeed blinded by one leaf and a little too stubborn.
Originally, he thought he could force Youfang to join the game and see the big picture unfold, but he didn't expect that Youfang could force the company to compromise by himself, and now there is no intention to target Youfang.
Regarding the issue of the Gu body holy child, it was like a page of a book that was gently turned over, and it passed without any ripples.
This made him and the Zhuge family wonder if their past speculations were wrong. You Fang might indeed be a "variable", but that didn't mean he would definitely sink into the game.
Especially in recent years, every time they heard about You Fang, they could feel the change in his position. He seemed to no longer be a character in the game, but...
He had already played the chess piece!
Wrong!
So far, everyone in the Zhuge family knew that their judgment of Youfang was completely wrong, and their treatment of him was completely wrong!
However, there is no regret medicine in this world. Everything has been settled. The result is like this, and they can only accept it.
The Zhuge family knew that they had lost the opportunity to make friends with Youfang, but it was not too late to make up for the loss. Since Youfang could generously recommend them to the company, they naturally had to express their gratitude.
Therefore, Zhuge Qing came here specially this time to apologize for what he owed. No matter what the reason was, it was always sincere.
"Well, I accept this apology, but it's just acceptance." Youfang glanced at Zhuge Qing with a calm face.
"You don't have to worry about the company's affairs. I just made the most correct choice for the company. I am a descendant of the Chinese nation, and this reason alone is enough."
"Well, I understand."
Since Youfang had accepted the apology, Zhuge Qing didn't say anything more. He also knew that this group of people did not welcome him, so he left tactfully.
But it was obvious that there were more than one "guest" tonight. Soon after he left, two more figures came. Everyone looked closely and found that they were Zhang Lingyu and Xia He.
"You Fang!"
When he came to the crowd, Zhang Lingyu bowed, and Xia He also bowed. Compared with the past, he looked much more obedient and calm.
"Brother Lingyu, congratulations, lovers finally get married!"
You Fang did not hesitate and congratulated Zhang Lingyu immediately, which made Zhang Lingyu a little embarrassed.
"Come, sit down!"
When they asked the two to sit down, everyone couldn't help but look at them. They had naturally seen Xia He, and the last time they met, they caught her in the bar, so they didn't have any bad impression.
And because You Fang had already explained the whole thing, they all understood it. Even though Zhang Lingyu and Xia He's identities were still very different, everyone didn't have any bad expressions.
And speaking of this, if we really want to talk about this strange marriage, Hong Bin is ahead of them. Look, the next moment a figure walked out of his body, it was Feng Yunxin.
It can be seen that the couple did this to avoid embarrassing Xia He, but they also obviously underestimated Xia He's ability to bear it. Seeing her smile slightly, she took the initiative to speak:
"Everyone, I think we were also enemies at the beginning, but that was just a matter of position. Now that I have left the "Quanxing", we can be considered as not knowing each other after fighting. I, Xia He, will formally apologize to you today!"
As she said, she stood up and saluted again.
"From now on, I will live with Lingyu in the Tianshi Mansion. The old Tianshi said that he can solve my problems. The "bone scraper" in the past is dead, but I will take the responsibility for the sins she committed."
It can be seen that Xia He was very emotional. These words should not have been said, but after seeing Youfang and others, she couldn't help it.
In fact, for her, every day in the past seemed like a dream, extremely illusory. The real self had already sunk into the deep sea, leaving only an empty shell with supernatural powers.
And there is no doubt that Zhang Lingyu's appearance has awakened her more than once. She should have sunk and given up, but there was always a glimmer of hope in her heart.
It was this glimmer of hope that made her unable to truly fall asleep, especially after meeting Zhang Lingyu again, she even began to find ways to swim up and get out of the deep sea.
"I will be with you."
When Xia He finished speaking, Zhang Lingyu also held her hand tightly. Although he was a little embarrassed in front of Youfang and the others, his eyes were quite firm.
"Youfang, it was Xia He who said that she wanted to come and apologize to you, which was also a complete cut off from the past. You don't have to think too much, that's all."
In fact, now Zhang Lingyu knew that Xia He had a restriction set by Youfang on her body. She wanted to ask him to remove it, but was stopped by Xia He. She said that this was what she deserved.
Compared to what they did but failed to do, Youfang's counterattack can be considered quite light. Leaving it behind is also a reminder to himself not to go back to the past.
However, even if they didn't say anything, Youfang saw it all. With his current cultivation, no one can act in front of him. He can see Xia He's true feelings.
He set restrictions on the four madmen in the past just to restrain their behavior. Now that Xia He has turned over a new leaf and joined Longhu, this restriction is really unnecessary.
"Okay, don't show off your affection in front of me. It looks sour, haha..."
So, Youfang smiled, hooked his fingers, and ink marks emerged from Xia He's body and flowed onto his hands.
"I helped you to remove the restriction at the beginning. It is my trust in you to turn over a new leaf and also my trust in Brother Lingyu. I wish you two a happy marriage and a smooth journey ahead!"
"Brother You..."
Seeing You Fang's actions, Zhang Lingyu opened his mouth, and a feeling of gratitude suddenly appeared, and he wanted to thank him.
"Okay, okay, we are all family, so let's do it. But even if the old master protects you in the future, you will inevitably be criticized by the world. If you can do it yourself, don't bother the old master."
He couldn't help laughing.
In this way, the two of them exchanged greetings here for a while, and then they stood up to say goodbye. Everyone finally quieted down again, and couldn't help but look at each other and smile.
"It's really strange tonight, one after another apologized." Hong Bin couldn't help complaining.
"Haha, it means we are upright and have nothing to be ashamed of. Otherwise... we should apologize to others, right?"
"Haha, that's right!"
...
...
The night passed quickly and soon came to the next day.
Because Feng Baobao was detained and questioned at the airport yesterday, Zhang Chulan and his friends missed their flight and had to make a temporary adjustment. They didn't land until this morning.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the four of them finally arrived at the foot of Longhu Mountain. They were finally not late. There was still more than an hour before the Luotian Grand Ceremony began.
So the four of them quickly bought tickets and stepped onto the stairs to the mountain, following the group of tourists and heading towards the Tianshi Mansion.
And because Youfang and his friends traveled five years ago, the four of them did not encounter the fake monk who sold Buddhist beads this time, which saved their wallets and made Sister Baoer suffer less loss.
However, as before, they still met the person they were destined to meet on the way up the mountain.
"260 per person, this is a robbery..." Looking at the additional tickets in his hand, Zhang Chulan complained.
"Everyone is equal in front of the ticket. We can't do anything about it. Don't chat up random people when you enter the mountain. Many Taoist priests in the mountain are hired by the Tourism Bureau to cover up trouble." Xu San also showed helplessness.
"Haha, is there any good place in the world that the Tourism Bureau hasn't occupied..." Hearing this, Zhang Chulan was speechless and said casually.
"Haha! Not much, not much..."
However, at this time, a strange voice suddenly sounded. Zhang Chulan turned around and found that it was a young Taoist priest who was not well dressed.
"The situation in our Wudang Mountain is worse than here!"
The Taoist priest said with a smile.
Then...
"Wudang Sect - Wang Ye, what is your name, benefactor?" Wang Ye asked proactively, as if he saw Zhang Chulan's identity as an alien.
"Ha... My name is Zhang Chulan..." Zhang Chulan smiled. He was obviously a little wary of this guy who suddenly came up to talk to him.
"Zhang Chulan..." Wang Ye narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why did you come to this conference?"
"Ah! Taoist Wang, you are indeed..."
Zhang Chulan understood immediately.
"Alas, you probably all know my story. My grandfather has many secrets related to Longhu Mountain. If I can win this time, I can meet the old Taoist priest, so I can ask about the things of the past..."
"Haha, so, to meet the old Taoist priest? But you are wrong about one thing..." Wang Ye nodded and reminded.
"Ah? Wrong?" Zhang Chulan was stunned.
"It has never been difficult to meet the old Taoist priest, you come with me..."
"Oh, Sister Bao, Xu San Xu Si! Taoist Wang and I will go over!"
After greeting Feng Baobao and the others, Zhang Chulan followed Wang Ye and walked up quickly, and came to the gate of the mountain gate:
"Look, isn't the old Taoist priest over there?"
Wang Ye pointed to an old man opposite, with a smile on his face.
