Chapter 746: Chapter 176: Feng Yun! [Ten Thousand Words!]
This evaluation is truly chilling to the bone.
...
Guardian Hall.
"Alliance?"
Yuan Jingjiang looked at this Heavenly Palace Star Lord, feeling an immense pressure.
Also a bit bewildered.
What is this all about, why did the Heavenly Palace suddenly come to propose an alliance?
The Hall Masters and Vice Hall Masters are all absent, and I have to make such a major decision? I... can’t bear such a great responsibility.
"This matter requires asking Deputy Hall Master Fang..."
Yuan Jingjiang coughed: "Deputy Hall Master Fang can make the decision."
"Deputy Hall Master Fang?"
Shang Changzhen’s face twisted.
You’re a Hall Master and need to consult a Deputy Hall Master? What the hell...
However... Lord Jian is right up there...
"Alright, you go ahead and consult."
So Fang Che, who was resting at home, was summoned back to the Guardian Hall to work overtime.
After the introductions and pleasantries...
As soon as Shang Changzhen spoke, Fang Che immediately understood the other’s intention.
The situation was very clear.
You’re planning to strike against the Weiwo Orthodox Sect to avenge your son, and then want to gain some favor with us in the process?
Hmm, attacking the Weiwo Orthodox Sect, a common enemy, so you’re here to make nice? Gotta say, it’s a good plan.
Fang Che chuckled coldly inside.
"Thank you for the generosity of the Heavenly Palace, and thank you for taking the initiative to help deal with the Demon Sect. The Heavenly Palace’s righteousness is deeply appreciated by me."
Fang Che’s face was full of warmth and emotion, but his attitude was firm: "But I am very sorry, we Guardians do not wish to be involved in any grievances between the Heavenly Palace and the Weiwo Orthodoxy."
"If you wish to take revenge on the Weiwo Orthodox Sect, that is your affair. Please decide for yourself."
"The Guardian Hall will offer no cooperation and will not interfere with any decisions or actions of the Heavenly Palace."
"And there will be no gratitude, nor any notion of owing a favor."
Fang Che smiled, but his words were resolute, leaving no room for compromise.
This left Shang Changzhen stunned.
Shouldn’t the Guardians be very welcoming? Shouldn’t they fully support and cheer when the Heavenly Palace goes to war with the Weiwo Orthodox Sect?
How did it end up like this?
"Deputy Hall Master Fang, can you take responsibility for what you just said?" Shang Changzhen couldn’t help but ask.
"At least in the Baiyun State Guardian Hall, I take responsibility for my words. As for other places, that’s not my concern."
Fang Che calmly said, "Even if it’s a wrong decision, and the Hall Master comes back to punish, I’ll take it on myself, no need for you to worry. I’m willing to accept punishment."
"Humph, you’re something alright!"
Shang Changzhen left huffing and puffing, taking his people with him.
Never expected this outcome, are the Guardians this tough now? But clearly, didn’t you fall behind in the global situation? What gives?
I came for the sake of giving face to Lord Jian.
Encountered such a stubborn one! Truly speechless!
Watching them walk out, Yuan Jingjiang frowned and said, "Mr. Fang, wasn’t that decision a bit rash?"
"How was it rash?" Fang Che glanced sideways.
"The Heavenly Palace, that’s the Heavenly Palace, you could say they are the third major force besides the Weiwo Orthodoxy and us Guardians. They oppose the Weiwo Orthodoxy and seek our cooperation, isn’t that a great thing?"
Yuan Jingjiang asked puzzled: "Just refuse them? For the future... This was a chance to mend fences."
Fang Che sighed, saying: "If they truly came to ally, we would have welcomed it; but this Zhu family’s business, we need to see very clearly, after all, for over a thousand years, they’ve cooperated with the Weiwo Orthodoxy, how much do we know?"
"We’ve known nothing, not even one, not to mention until today did we know the Zhu Family actually belongs to the Heavenly Palace!"
"Didn’t even know their identity!"
"Yet they’ve been cooperating with the Weiwo Orthodoxy for over a thousand years."
Fang Che said coldly and sharply: "Now, they’ve had a misunderstanding, someone died; because of the person’s important identity, they seek revenge. So they came to us."
"Master Yuan, this kind of grievance is actually easily resolved; what if they retrieve that life? What if the misunderstanding is cleared up?"
"What if someone high-ranking comes out to mediate?"
"Then their grievances would instantly vanish into thin air!"
"And by then, on our end, we’d still be actively cooperating with them, making alliances; warmly welcoming... What if by then they set up a trap for us? How many lives of ours would be lost for no reason?"
"Furthermore, at that time, still not daring to offend the Heavenly Palace, then they can quietly go behind the scenes, using our trust on one hand, and cooperating with the Weiwo Orthodoxy on the other, everything remains the same, but we are the ones who’d always suffer! Isn’t that so?"
"They would use this mindset of ours, to continuously harm our people. Why should we give them this opportunity?"
Yuan Jingjiang thought carefully, and couldn’t help but feel chilled.
Based on Heavenly Palace’s modus operandi, this kind of possibility is really too high!
"Indeed, you considered it thoroughly. This matter is indeed precarious. Oh, just feels a bit unfortunate, such a big force."
"What’s there to regret."
Fang Che lazily said: "Just because we don’t cooperate, do they not seek revenge? Would the son die in vain? Would they not do what they should do?"
"Still gonna go trouble the Weiwo Orthodox Southeast Headquarters, trouble the Yixin Sect, Yemo? So there’s nothing to regret."
"We haven’t lost anything, whoever loses people between those two is good for us, so the fiercer the fight, the better."
"We, we just need to watch them fight like dogs. Mutual destruction is the best outcome, and by then, I’ll light incense for them."
