Chapter 412: In the Bag!
Chen Yong’s face was full of confidence.
In his view, Frost Palace had no choice but to accept the olive branch extended by the Chen family.
But Su Lengyun’s expression remained unchanged as she said, “Even if other sects compromise, it doesn’t mean our Frost Palace will compromise. Please leave.”
Chen Yong narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “Sect Leader Su, have you really thought this through? If you reject us now, what awaits Frost Palace will be a violent takeover!”
Su Lengyun’s expression changed slightly.
Noticing this, Chen Yong’s face once again showed a self-satisfied smile as he said, “Sect Leader Su, there’s really no need to be so rigid. In today’s martial arts world of Huaibei, our Chen family has a very high probability of reaching the top. Young Master Chen Luo is currently in seclusion attempting to break through to the Martial Saint realm, and I believe it won’t be long before he emerges successfully.”
“What does it mean to have a Martial Saint who’s not even thirty years old? Our Chen family will not only dominate Huaibei but will also become famous throughout the Nine Provinces Nation because of Young Master Chen Luo’s existence!”
“If Frost Palace becomes an affiliated sect of our Chen family, we will certainly not mistreat you and will definitely give you plenty of benefits.”
Chen Yong’s tone was very certain and confident.
Chen Luo is about to break through to the Martial Saint realm…
This news was something Su Lengyun was hearing for the first time.
If it were true, it would indeed shock the martial arts world of the Nine Provinces Nation, just as Chen Yong said.
A Martial Saint under thirty years old… rare throughout the history of the Nine Provinces Nation.
“Sect Leader Su, don’t hesitate anymore, cooperate with our Chen family. Actually, becoming an affiliated family of our Chen family, we won’t do anything to Frost Palace. You will still be Frost Palace, you will still be the Sect Leader, we won’t interfere too much…” Chen Yong said.
“If I still refuse, what will you do?” Su Lengyun asked.
“That’s hard to say, nobody likes violence,” Chen Yong smiled.
“Please leave,” Su Lengyun said calmly.
Chen Yong’s expression changed.
He hadn’t expected that after saying so much, Su Lengyun’s decision was still to refuse!
“Sect Leader Su, you…” Chen Yong wanted to say something more.
“I’ve already said, our Frost Palace will not depend on any family. Please leave immediately,” Su Lengyun said coldly.
Chen Yong’s expression fluctuated.
And the four Masters behind him all showed unfriendly expressions.
A few seconds later, Chen Yong suddenly grinned and said, “Fine, Sect Leader Su, this is your decision. I hope you won’t regret it later.”
After speaking, Chen Yong turned and walked out.
The four Masters exchanged glances, followed behind him, and left the reception hall together.
Su Lengyun stood in place, watching their departing figures, her brows tightly furrowed.
“Young Master, are we really just leaving like this? The family head instructed us to definitely…” After leaving the reception hall, one of the Masters moved closer and hesitantly said to Chen Yong.
“I’ve said everything I needed to say, yet this Su Lengyun’s attitude is still so firm. What can I do?” Chen Yong said coldly, “Do you really want to use force? This woman is a Martial Venerable, and the four of you together might not be her match.”
“Then what about the family head…”
“It’s simple, just report the situation truthfully, and the family head will make a decision,” Chen Yong’s eyes flashed with malice as he said, “Don’t worry, Frost Palace is already in our pocket, they can’t escape.”
…
When Fang Yu returned to the apartment again, Purple Rose was sitting on the sofa in the living room, her eyes vacant, her face pale.
“Accepted your fate? That’s good. In future research, try to cooperate a bit more. This way, you can reduce a lot of unnecessary pain,” Fang Yu said.
Purple Rose mechanically turned her head to look at Fang Yu, her purple eyes full of fear.
After experiencing the excruciating pain earlier, she had understood one thing.
That is, she was completely finished.
Her life was controlled by someone else’s hands, she had lost the most important autonomy!
Now even if she recovered her energy and escaped from this place, it would be useless!
As long as Fang Yu didn’t remove that mark in her soul, she would never be free!
Realizing this, Purple Rose felt utterly hopeless.
Everything she had gained in the past now seemed worthless.
She even felt it would be better to just die.
Fang Yu sat down on the sofa opposite Purple Rose and smiled, “Come on, answer a few questions for me.”
Purple Rose lowered her head, not wanting to answer any questions.
“You probably don’t want to suffer the pain from earlier again, right?” Fang Yu asked.
Purple Rose trembled all over and raised her head.
“That stone in your body certainly wasn’t there from birth. When and where did you get it?” Fang Yu asked.
“…Fifteen years ago, I was participating in an operation in Africa. The operation failed, I fell into enemy hands and was thrown into a mine shaft. Then I discovered this crystal, it actively entered my body, and afterward I could use the energy contained within it,” Purple Rose said in a low voice.
“The changes in your body began after this crystal entered your body, right?” Fang Yu said, looking at Purple Rose’s purple hair and eyes.
“Yes,” Purple Rose answered.
…
Fang Yu asked Purple Rose several questions and received her answers.
But this information wasn’t crucial.
Even Purple Rose herself didn’t understand the composition and origin of this crystal.
“Forget it, there’s no need to figure out its composition. I just need to find a way to absorb it.”
Fang Yu quickly began his research.
He used the Soul Devouring Technique to absorb a bit of energy from Purple Rose’s body, then locked this energy within his own body, attempting to break it down for research.
With this research, several days passed.
During this period, Fang Yu almost forgot to eat and sleep.
It wasn’t until Sunday, when someone knocked on the door, that Fang Yu was pulled from this state.
“Fang Yu, why haven’t you answered your phone for two or three days!” Tang Xiaorou, dressed in a sky-blue dress, appeared before Fang Yu.
“I was busy. What are you doing here?” Fang Yu asked.
“I came to see you,” Tang Xiaorou walked into the house casually and sat on the sofa.
Purple Rose was locked in the guest room, so 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 expression changed slightly, she bit her pink lips and asked softly, “…How is it? Does it look good?”
“It’s okay,” Fang Yu said.
Tang Xiaorou’s expression froze.
Normally, Fang Yu should have complimented her, but instead, his response was so flat.
However, considering it was Fang Yu, it was already good that he didn’t say she looked ugly.
After kicking her legs while sitting on the sofa, Tang Xiaorou suddenly remembered something, her beautiful eyes widened as she asked, “Fang Yu, when elective courses opened a few days ago, the Literature College had a course called Literature and Writing, and the guest professor’s name was Fang Yu… This news shocked the entire university. Is that really you?”
“Yes, it’s me,” Fang Yu answered.
Tang Xiaorou bringing this up reminded him that he had to teach next Wednesday.
“It’s really you!?” Tang Xiaorou stood up excitedly.
“What’s the matter?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow.
“You, you really became a guest professor…” Tang Xiaorou stared at Fang Yu in a daze, murmuring.
In her view, given Fang Yu’s age and grades, it would be a waste not to attend university.
But unexpectedly, Fang Yu had directly become a guest professor at Nandu University’s Literature College!
It’s worth noting that Nandu University, as one of the top ten universities in the Nine Provinces Nation, had extremely high requirements for professors’ academic levels.
A student like Fang Yu who had just finished the college entrance exam shouldn’t be able to become a professor, even just a guest professor!
“If I’m not going to university, I need to find something to do, otherwise it’s very boring,” Fang Yu said.
“…” Tang Xiaorou looked at Fang Yu, speechless.
“If there’s nothing else, you should go back. I have things to do,” Fang Yu said.
Tang Xiaorou still hadn’t recovered from her shock and said, “Fang Yu, your course seems very popular. Many students want to see your level of expertise. Are you… confident?”
Fang Yu smiled slightly.
He had interacted with many famous literary figures in the past. Although his literary level wasn’t extremely high, teaching these young people around twenty years old wouldn’t be a problem.
“I originally wanted to select your course too, but I couldn’t get in… I’m going to audit your class on Wednesday!” Tang Xiaorou said firmly, “Hmph, I want to see what level you’re at!”
“Alright, go home now,” Fang Yu unceremoniously showed her out.
