Feng Shayan nodded perfunctorily: "Mhm!"
"So what if you can't cultivate Spirit Control? You are my daughter, Feng Zhenghao's daughter, with the blood of the Feng family flowing in your veins, no matter what..."
Feng Shayan continued to give a perfunctory reply: "Oh, oh!"
"This is blood ties, the bond of family. Because we are family, the family will do anything for you, whether you succeed or not!"
As Feng Zhenghao spoke, he stood up, his voice even becoming somewhat impassioned.
"As a member of the family, one should sacrifice for the prosperity of the family, even if it sometimes means sacrificing one's so-called 'self'..."
Feng Shayan nodded perfunctorily, though she did believe in the "sacrifice" aspect.
She had no doubt that if Feng Zhenghao were a woman, she would have already washed herself clean and sent her over.
Feng Zhenghao's words were indeed very persuasive, but hearing the same words twice in a short period of time did not stir up any waves.
The last time I was asked to develop a relationship with Zhang Chulan, this was the same line they used.
Couldn't you at least update it and change a line of dialogue?
"Dad... I could forgive Zhang Chulan last time, but it's only been a few days and you're making me go to Lu Xuan's door again?"
"Do I really have no shame at all?"
"Moreover, Master Lu is a Taoist priest of the Quanzhen School of Wudang who practices asceticism..."
Feng Shayan's eyelids twitched with anger: "You want me to go find a Taoist priest from the Quanzhen Sect to cultivate a relationship?"
"How is this any different from going to a temple to seduce a monk?"
"Don't say such harsh things..."
Feng Zhenghao slowly adjusted his glasses.
“If you can’t manage, I’ve already contacted your second sister, or you could send Ya Ya instead…”
"Dad, are you kidding me?!"
Feng Shayan slammed her hand on the table in anger.
"My second sister is already married. She left because she couldn't stand you. And how old is Ya Ya? Are you crazy?"
"so what?"
A cold glint flashed in Feng Zhenghao's eyes as he spoke calmly.
“If I weren’t afraid of being too abrupt, I would even like to let Xing Tong try it as well. This is not about personal feelings, but a necessary sacrifice for the Feng family.”
Creak! The door opened just then.
Feng Xingtong peeked in and just overheard Feng Zhenghao's words.
"Huh? Me?"
In that instant, Feng Xingtong thought of many, many things.
Men on top of men, men on the left and right, men facing men, men abandoning men and separating...
Thinking of her sister's reluctance, Feng Xingtong pondered for a long time before nodding with a look of sorrow and sacrifice.
"It's okay, I can do it too."
Feng Zhenghao: "..."
Feng Shayan: "..."
A moment of silence fell over the room.
After a series of clanging and banging sounds, the door opened.
An object that looked exactly like Feng Xingtong flew out.
Bang! The door slammed shut again.
Feng Zhenghao restored the atmosphere that Feng Xingtong had disrupted and continued seriously.
“Shayan, all of this is a necessary sacrifice. In the face of the Feng family’s huge collective, an individual’s so-called ‘self-will’ is insignificant, even for me.”
"Do you know why I was able to develop the World Society to its current level in just ten years?"
Feng Shayan frowned: "Interests collusion, currying favor with the powerful, collusion between officials and businessmen, eliminating rivals, forming cliques, and using marriage alliances to win over people?"
Feng Zhenghao's face stiffened. You actually knew that?
The words he had prepared stuck in his throat. Feng Zhenghao coughed twice and said solemnly.
"It's about belief, do you understand?"
"It is the belief that one is willing to sacrifice and dedicate everything for a great cause!"
"I'm not demanding results from you today, or asking you to do anything deliberately later. I've already taught you..."
"You should know what you're supposed to do."
Feng Zhenghao's words were gentle and warm, as if his threats against his second sister and younger sister were just casual remarks.
However, Feng Shayan knew that her father never spoke without reason, and if she didn't agree, he would really drag her second sister and younger sister into it as well.
I didn't really have a choice...
"So... that's why you came to knock on my door?"
Lu Xuan opened the door and saw Feng Shayan standing outside.
My heart skipped a beat.
Feng Zhenghao really doesn't treat his daughter like an outsider; he truly lets her take the lead when there's trouble!
He was trying to seduce Zhang Chulan before, and now that he's just returned from Longhu Mountain, it's his turn. Feng Zhenghao's attitude towards life is so pragmatic that it's... disgusting!
It's confirmed! Zhang Chulan's fruit platter really was poisonous; he had bad luck before he even ate it!
I should have at least eaten a couple of bites earlier!
"Master Lu, I..."
Feng Shayan came with a lot of resentment, but when she saw Lu Xuan, her expression changed instantly, and she showed a sincere smile.
The moment the door opened and she heard Lu Xuan's first words, Feng Shayan's face stiffened. She hadn't even said anything yet! How could Lu Xuan seem to know everything?
He guessed that his father had sent him over to reconnect with his father.
"Master Lu, how did you know?"
Lu Xuan pondered for a moment: "You used this trick on Zhang Chulan too, didn't you?"
"What...what did you say?"
Feng Shayan's face instantly darkened.
Lu Xuan's words were truly incisive, like stabbing someone in the heart with a knife!
Although I did seduce Zhang Chulan at my father's behest, could you at least have given me some face? Why are you just saying it so bluntly?
She seriously doubted that Lu Xuan was the extraordinary person her father described; he was just a bunch of toxic people.
"Lu Xuan, what do you mean by that?"
Feng Shayan stopped calling him Daoist Lu altogether, her eyes blazing with fury as she stared intently at Lu Xuan, her gaze seeming to want to devour him.
Although Zhang Chulan failed in his attempt to seduce her, he managed to maintain a facade of affection by not revealing his true intentions and preserving a familial relationship with the World Society.
But now, Lu Xuan's words have completely shattered all of Feng Shayan's expectations and thoughts.
Simply put, it means the defense has been breached!
"You don't understand at all. I did all this for my family, for the Feng family, for the Tianxia Society. Do you think I wanted to do these things?"
Feng Shayan immediately broke down, her hands clenching into fists.
With her roar, the space upstairs distorted and fluctuated violently.
“You come from the prestigious Wudang family, and at a young age you have already achieved extraordinary cultivation, making you famous throughout the world. You live a carefree life, how could you understand my pain? How could you understand my helplessness as a member of the Feng family?”
"Do you think I would?"
Enraged, Feng Shayan punched Lu Xuan.
The space in front of him twisted abnormally, and the fist, carrying Qi, suddenly disappeared, then struck Lu Xuan's head from another strange angle.
The punch was fierce, but it stopped abruptly the next moment.
The force of the fist met the force of Tai Chi.
The punch, carrying Feng Shayan's pent-up anger, stopped silently in front of Lu Xuan. All the force of the punch was neutralized by the Tai Chi energy, making it impossible for him to advance any further.
"Spatial ability? It's a pity it's only at such a rudimentary level."
“If you had put more effort into developing your special abilities, your father wouldn’t have used you as a bargaining chip to win people over.”
Feng Shayan stared blankly at Lu Xuan ahead.
After regaining her composure, she swallowed hard, as if the punch had vented all her anger.
Only then did she realize what a stupid thing she had done.
He had actually attacked Lu Xuan, a man even his own father feared and dared not say how strong he was.
A sense of regret welled up in my heart.
Feng Shayan instinctively wanted to beg for mercy, but when she looked up and saw Lu Xuan's indifferent eyes, she couldn't say a word.
“I haven’t stooped so low as to bully a junior like you. The fact that you dared to lay a hand on me at least proves that you haven’t completely become Feng Zhenghao’s puppet.”
“I will speak with your father myself.”
Lu Xuan glanced at it lightly.
A force tens or even hundreds of times greater suddenly returned from where Feng Shayan's fist had stopped.
Before she could even think of resisting, Feng Shayan collapsed along with the ceiling beneath her feet.
With a loud crash, Feng Shayan, along with the ceiling, crashed down to the first floor, landing right in front of Zhang Chulan and the others.
"Master Lu, are you alright?"
Looking up, they saw Lu Xuan walking down the stairs, passing straight through the crowd like a phantom, leaving only a lingering echo of his voice in the air.
