Chapter 1086: Chapter 319: Feng Zhaoyang Arc (2)
Feng Zhaoyang arrived downstairs, ready to handle some matters.
But just as he was about to leave Yunxiang Building, he noticed someone behind him calling his name. Of course, if it was just someone simply calling his name, then it wouldn’t matter, and he wouldn’t need to pay much attention. The key part was this person also added an exclamation behind it.
"Fellow Daoist Feng, you’re really quick."
This is pointless, you think I want to be quick? It’s broad daylight, isn’t it? And I have other things to deal with; otherwise, with my Spirit Storage Stage cultivation, controlling something like this would be easy. Look at what you’ve just said.
Then Feng Zhaoyang, feeling somewhat displeased, glanced toward the voice, and saw a man in a red outfit wearing a small fox mask. This man sat in a corner of Yunxiang Building’s first-floor hall, with other women by his side, helping him massage his shoulders.
This is?
Feng Zhaoyang was momentarily confused; this seemed familiar, as someone in a red outfit with a small fox mask was a familiar presence in his memories. But this acquaintance hadn’t been seen for a long time, and he couldn’t recall them immediately.
He is...
Yuchi proactively smiled and greeted, "Fellow Daoist Feng, it seems you’ve forgotten me. It appears the relationship between us is quite average, not like when I first met you; I instantly remembered who you were."
Yin Shuang: "Liar Brother Chi! You clearly took a long time to remember, and at that time, it seemed your head was almost breaking from thinking."
Feng Zhaoyang felt quite embarrassed; he originally planned to leave. But now that Yuchi spoke, he couldn’t help but walk over to Yuchi, while the young woman beside them sensibly departed, leaving only Yuchi and Feng Zhaoyang sitting at the corner table.
The nearby curtain had already been drawn up, creating a temporary secluded space.
Yuchi smiled and took off his mask, putting the small fox mask on the table, and finally saw Feng Zhaoyang’s face of sudden realization.
"It’s you, Fellow Daoist Zong!" Feng Zhaoyang exclaimed in surprise.
"It’s me, long time no see."
Yuchi poured him a cup of tea and, seeing Feng Zhaoyang looking bewildered and slightly excited, said with a smile, "I’ve been wandering around the State Capital and heard about a Courtesan wanting to advance further. So I came to her place to see what kind of Courtesan possesses such capability. And coincidentally, I saw Fellow Daoist Feng’s silhouette."
"I initially planned to stop you immediately, but considering Fellow Daoist Feng probably had important matters to attend to, I waited downstairs for you. Unexpectedly, you’re still quite fast, indeed deserving the reputation of Sect Leader Feng. Your efficiency in handling matters is truly impressive."
"I truly envy you."
Feng Zhaoyang: "..."
He then defensively stated, "Actually, it’s because I have some things to do. Otherwise, I could fight for three days and nights without closing my eyes."
Yuchi: "Three days and nights without closing your eyes? Wouldn’t your eyes be dry?"
They exchanged smiles, reunited after a long time apart. Feng Zhaoyang had already brought out his special brew, which Yuchi decisively refused. He had promised his disciple not to drink too much outside, and it had been a long time since he last drank alcohol.
Feng Zhaoyang then said, "Actually, I know her ambitions to become a Palace Courtesan, and I’ve been supporting her from behind."
Yuchi looked at Feng Zhaoyang’s bashful expression in surprise, "Ah? What do you mean? Sect Leader Feng, why would you do this? Is there some hidden agenda behind it?"
Does Feng Zhaoyang support this Palace Courtesan? Such a thing truly surprised Yuchi for a while. But to think this was the case, why? Could it be since Feng Zhaoyang’s wife departed, he’s been troubled?
Has he lost his emotional anchor? Then projecting those feelings onto the Courtesan?
Yuchi speculated internally, while Feng Zhaoyang’s candid response completely confirmed Yuchi’s guesses: "To be honest, after parting ways with them, I wandered into the State Capital. Then I met her, and we got along very well, like old friends."
"As I spent time with her, I realized she’s quite an ambitious woman; she wants to advance further on the Courtesan path. But Courtesans are already acknowledged as the highest presence, and looking beyond that already signifies reaching the peak."
"Thus, with my suggestion, she wants to become the first Palace Courtesan. But how can becoming a Palace Courtesan resolve easily?"
"Surely many Courtesans will step forward to oppose and resist, as Courtship has gone on comfortably for years. Clearly, if a Palace Courtesan suddenly appeared, even if it represents a new pinnacle, for Courtesans, it means a longer period of effort."
