Chapter 992 Going Crazy with Cultivation

 

“No.” Honglian brushed the hair on her forehead behind her ear and said.

“Then why did you come out?” Fangyu asked.

“Cultivation was too boring, so I came out for some fresh air. What’s wrong?” Honglian gave Fangyu a sidelong glance and said.

“Why do you always speak like you’re about to fight someone? Is it related to your cultivation method?” Fangyu raised an eyebrow and asked.

“I don’t need to cultivate any methods… Are you saying I have a bad temper?” Honglian looked at Fangyu with her arms crossed and asked.

“If you don’t cultivate any methods, then what were you doing in seclusion?” Fangyu asked curiously.

“My seclusion… was just to merge with the Phoenix Origin,” Honglian said.

“You haven’t completed the merger yet?” Fangyu asked in surprise.

Hearing Fangyu’s tone, Honglian’s delicate eyebrows furrowed, immediately feeling a sense of humiliation at being looked down upon.

But remembering the original situation, she asked discontentedly, “Have you completed yours then?”

“I… I’m not sure, but the Phoenix Origin has been quiet,” Fangyu said.

Now the Dragon and Phoenix Origins in his body had merged together, one gold and one red, forming a taiji sphere.

Usually, if he didn’t deliberately sense them, he couldn’t even feel their existence.

Therefore, Fangyu couldn’t confirm whether he had completely merged with the Phoenix Origin, but at least… the Phoenix Origin had been quietly resting inside his body for a long time.

“You couldn’t possibly have merged with the Phoenix Origin so quickly! That’s the origin power of our Phoenix clan’s divine lord! You, a mere human…” Honglian said defiantly, “You can’t possibly merge faster than me!”

Hearing these words, Fangyu just gave a cold smile and said, “Without this ‘mere human,’ you would have died in the Spirit Void back then, let alone having such a good cultivation place now, and for free…”

“If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have had the chance to obtain the Phoenix Origin!” Honglian became increasingly defiant, gritting her teeth and retorting.

“I never wanted the Phoenix Origin, but it insisted on flying to me. What could I do?” Fangyu spread his hands and said.

“You… you dare disrespect our divine lord’s will!” Honglian glared at Fangyu angrily.

“The Phoenix never respected my wishes either…” Fangyu shrugged and raised his eyebrows.

“You!” Honglian’s aura suddenly surged, her pupils emanating a faint red light.

The surrounding air immediately became tense.

A pressure spread outward in all directions.

Beside them, Zhao Zinan’s face turned pale seeing the two about to fight.

“Ice Heart Technique!”

At that moment, a blue light flashed, appearing above Fangyu and Honglian’s heads.

The blue glowing orb emitted a faint aura that made people feel extremely calm and refreshed.

The red light in Honglian’s eyes gradually receded until it disappeared completely.

Fangyu remained composed; he hadn’t actually been angry, just engaging in some simple banter.

However, he hadn’t expected Honglian to be like a powder keg, ready to ignite at the slightest spark.

“Mr. Fang, Miss Honglian… please forgive my presumption. I just didn’t want you two to hurt your relationship…” Ye Shengxue quickly stepped forward and apologetically said.

“It’s fine, well done,” Fangyu said approvingly.

Honglian’s breathing gradually calmed. She looked at Fangyu, then at Ye Shengxue, slightly lowered her head, and said softly, “I’m sorry… I don’t know why I would…”

“Feel like you couldn’t control your emotions?” Fangyu asked.

“…Yes.” Honglian raised her head, her face slightly flushed, and said, “I just suddenly became very angry and wanted to fight…”

“Seclusion not going well?” Fangyu asked again.

Honglian bit her red lips lightly and gave another “Mm” in response.

“Then you’re experiencing a mild form of cultivation deviation. You need to take a break from cultivation for a while and focus on other things,” Fangyu said.

“…Okay,” Honglian answered.

Seeing Honglian return to normal, Zhao Zinan beside them breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she looked at Fangyu, and then turned to look at Honglian.

“Zinan, what’s wrong?” Ye Shengxue asked.

“Nothing, nothing,” Zhao Zinan said, secretly glancing at Fangyu.

She didn’t dare say that Brother Fangyu’s way of speaking just now… was indeed quite provoking.

…

In the afternoon, Fangyu was drinking tea on the top floor of the bamboo building when Little Wind Chime’s voice came through.

“Master, someone has come to our door asking to see you. This is the third time in three days.”

“The third time?” Fangyu was stunned and said, “Bring him to me.”

“Okay.”

A few seconds later, a figure appeared before Fangyu.

This person had obviously never experienced such short-distance spatial transfer before and was in a dazed state.

Fangyu recognized him as Lin Zhenxi, whom he had met twice before at the Lin family.

At this moment, Lin Zhenxi was pale, sweating profusely, with anxiety and unease all over his face.

“What’s wrong?” Fangyu asked.

Lin Zhenxi came to his senses, looked at Fangyu with wide eyes full of hope, and said, “Master Fang, please save Zhilan’s life!”

“Lin Zhilan? What happened to her?” Fangyu asked.

“Zhilan… seems to have experienced cultivation deviation while practicing sword techniques, and has been unconscious ever since. We’ve invited several famous doctors from North City, but none could diagnose the cause!” Lin Zhenxi said.

“Another cultivation deviation?” Fangyu frowned and asked, “When did it start?”

“Two nights ago, Zhilan was staying at the training ground… I went to check on her and found her lying on the ground with blood still at the corner of her mouth…” Lin Zhenxi said, “Zhilan’s breathing is getting weaker. Please, Master Fang, save her life!”

Fangyu stood up and said, “Let’s go take a look. Wait for me a moment.”

Fangyu first went to the small forest behind, retrieved the Spirit Ring he had given to Su Lengyun, then returned to the bamboo building’s rooftop, took Lin Zhenxi with him, and teleported to the Lin family.

“Whoosh!”

In an instant, Fangyu and Lin Zhenxi arrived at the Lin family residence.

Although Lin Zhenxi was surprised by Fangyu’s effortless teleportation, he knew what was most important right now.

“Master Fang, please follow me.”

Lin Zhenxi led Fangyu, walking toward the interior of the Lin family compound.

Arriving at a building on the left side of the Lin family residence, they could see a large group of Lin family members standing there.

They were obviously all concerned about Lin Zhilan’s condition.

Seeing Fangyu arrive, the Lin family members had various reactions.

Some bowed respectfully, while others did not, just looking at Fangyu with somewhat unfriendly eyes.

After all, Lin Zhilan had experienced cultivation deviation after practicing the sword manual given by Fangyu, leading to the current situation.

The problem lay with Fangyu!

Fangyu ignored these people and walked straight toward the main door.

Before he could enter, someone stepped forward to block his way.

It was a young man with handsome features.

More importantly, despite his young age, his cultivation had already reached the middle stage of the Transformation Realm.

With such cultivation, he would definitely be ranked on the Heaven List, and not low.

“Zhengxu, what are you doing? Quickly let Master Fang in to see Zhilan’s condition!” Lin Zhenxi’s face changed as he said.

Lin Zhengxu looked at Fangyu with cold eyes and said, “That sword manual was given to Zhilan by this person?”

“Zhengxu! This is Master Fang!” Lin Zhenxi said.

“I know, you’re all afraid of him. But I… don’t trust him,” Lin Zhengxu narrowed his eyes at Fangyu and said coldly, “Why would a stranger so easily teach Zhilan sword techniques?”

Fangyu looked at Lin Zhengxu and smiled, “You’re right, one should indeed be cautious about such things.”

Lin Zhengxu’s gaze grew colder as he said, “I was in seclusion recently and didn’t know what happened outside… If I had known, I would have stopped the family head.”

“You think Lin Zhengzhong was wrong?” Fangyu asked.

“Yes, he shouldn’t have trusted a stranger so easily,” Lin Zhengxu said.

“So what do you want to do now? Not let me save Lin Zhilan?” Fangyu asked.

“Do you really want to save her? Or harm her!?” Lin Zhengxu asked coldly.

“How dare you! Do you know what you’re saying!?” Lin Zhenxi said angrily, “If Master Fang truly wanted to harm Zhilan, or even our Lin family, would he need to use such schemes!?”

Hearing these words, not only Lin Zhengxu but also many Lin family members behind him changed their expressions.

Indeed… Fangyu had dared to go to the Wang family alone, causing the Wang family to fall from grace.
