Seeing Feng You directly asking about the key point, it would be bad to hide it. Qian Chao's mind was spinning rapidly. Feng You is a big dude, but he is different from ordinary dudes. In order to continue to be with this person in the future Cooperation, Qian Chao said directly like taking a gamble:
"What Brother Feng said is true. I do know something, and...well...it's not that I want to hide it from Brother Feng. That matter may also involve the secret fight between the five clans in the sect. Brother Feng was born in the fifth generation." Lingfeng clan, that’s why I have concerns.”
Having said that, Qian Chao was curious about how Feng You guessed this key point.
Feng You smiled and said:
"Junior Brother Qian, I don't really care about family affairs, and I don't bother to ask about it, but there are some things I can tell you. The Wulingfeng clan has been at the bottom for many years. The ranking of the five clans in the sect is Zong, Jing, etc. , Huan, Feng, and Zhang. In fact, the Feng family is not much better than the Zhang family. It can be said that they are at the bottom at the same time. However, compared to the other four families, the Feng family may be a little stronger, and that is the elders in the Feng family. Understand that the rise of a big family is not a secret trick, and similarly, the decline of a big family is not entirely due to the conspiracies of other big families. The most important thing is that the children and grandchildren within one's own family must strive for success. Otherwise, it will not be counted among the family members. If the people are prosperous but all of them are ineffective, then the future of this family must be worrying."
To be honest, these words are a bit strange coming from the mouth of Feng You, who is notorious and only knows how to drink and have fun. However, after Qian Chao has been in contact with Feng You for a while, he knows that this person is also a good person. So I listened quietly.
Feng You continued:
"The Feng family once had great glory in the Wuling Sect. That was a long time ago. It is said that the Feng family was still the largest family in the Wuling Sect at that time. However, after many years, it can only maintain its current status. The situation is that as early as the Feng family's heyday, the Zong family that is now ranked first is not worth mentioning at all. Precisely because of the ups and downs, the Feng family naturally has more experience than the other four families and knows the real reasons behind the rise and fall. "
Qian Chao nodded when he heard this.
Feng You leaned against a pillar behind him, looking very lazy, and said:
"Next, let me talk about my views on the five clans in the sect. Well, in my opinion, these five clans should not exist in the Wuling Sect at all! No matter who is in the sect, they are all Five Spirits cultivators. , are all attached to the Five Spirits Sect, and while serving for them, they also benefit from it. This is enough in my opinion, but there are so many people who want to stick together tightly based on their blood relationship, that is, now The Five Clan, huh, it seems that if you stick together in a group, you can be one level higher than others, that's all. The most disgusting thing is that they have set so many unnecessary and broken rules for their own people, which is harmful to others. Self! Alas, I have been harmed by these rules earlier. I had an unforgettable experience, and I deeply hate those rules! Junior Brother Qian, the reason why I am like this is related to that experience, and my What you did can be regarded as revenge against the Feng family, huh!"
The unforgettable experience Feng You mentioned was that he once eloped with one of his cousins and spent many years as a young couple in the spiritual world. The reason why he had to elope to be with that cousin was because they It was against the rules of the Feng family for two people to be together. As mentioned before, he later experienced the betrayal of his cousin. It can't be said to be betrayal. In short, the cousin couldn't bear the days of being a casual cultivator. Finally left him, which naturally deeply hurt Feng You. Since then, his temperament has changed drastically and he has become a frivolous playboy who indulges in wine and sex. His spiritual root qualifications are rare and excellent. He had high hopes, but he retaliated against his family and vented his resentment by spending every day in ruins.
It was precisely because of that earlier experience that Feng You was very dismissive of the so-called "family" within the clan.
Although he did not go into details, this was also the first time that Feng You talked about his past in front of others, and he was unwilling to continue this topic:
"By the way, it is unlikely that the Feng family will participate in the struggle for power within the sect now. There is no benefit in fighting for a short period of time. It is better to cultivate a few promising juniors for the family. If they want to revitalize the Feng family, they naturally have a longer-term vision. Junior brother Qian, if you feel it is necessary, tell me those things and I will help you think about it. I can guarantee you what you said. I won’t tell anyone else about it after I leave here. If there’s still something wrong, just don’t say it at all. If you want to know anything, just ask, and I’ll tell you everything. Anyway, don’t worry.”
The two people sat opposite each other in the dark night for a moment, and Qian Chao said:
"Okay, I believe Brother Feng, please tell me. Is it possible for this woman Zong Cheng to fall in love with someone in private and then become so inseparable that she won't marry him or even quietly leave the Five Spirits Sect far away from him?" Wander?"
Feng You smiled again and said:
"If my guess is correct, the person you mentioned that Zong Cheng is in love with and wants to elope with must be a descendant of the Jing clan within the clan, named Jing Lu, right?"
Qian Chao was very curious and asked:
"Yes, how did Brother Feng know?"
"Ha, it's him indeed!" Feng You became a little excited. "With so many people in the sect, the only one who cares about food and not fights is probably the fool Jing Lu. As soon as you asked about Zong Cheng, I suspected that you had something to do with Jing Lu." related."
"This is……"
"Hey, Junior Brother Qian, you just said that the matter may be related to the overt and covert struggle between the five clans in the sect, but I think it must be related to you. In this case, the answer comes out, it must be related to the Jing clan. Because of Jing Jie's incident, although the Jing family can't touch you, they will definitely hate you. If another fire is added, no matter whether it burns you or the Jing family, someone will benefit. If you asked Zong Cheng, then it must be It is related to the Zong family, and among the dandies of my generation in the sect, there is only one Jing Lu who is still obsessed with Zong Cheng as always. This is not a secret, it’s just that you, Junior Brother Qian, are not a dandy, so you don’t know.”
That's it, Qian Chao secretly thought.
"Let's go back to your question just now. First of all, Junior Brother Qian, let me tell you clearly that it is impossible for Zong Cheng to fall in love with anyone or even run away with him because of the obstruction of his elders. Secondly, I also want to tell you that even if If Zong Cheng is really so mad that he wants to elope with someone, that person will definitely not be Jing Lu."
"Why?"
Feng You suddenly asked:
"Junior Brother Qian must have also inquired about Zong Cheng from Cai Jian. I want to hear what Cai Jian said about Zong Cheng."
"Senior Brother Cai said that Zong Cheng is a woman who can only have herself and no one else in her heart, but he doesn't know much about Zong Cheng's past."
Feng You raised his eyebrows and said in surprise:
"Well, I didn't expect it! Cai Jian really has some insight! It's very similar to my evaluation of Zong Cheng. Not much about Zong Cheng has been spread, so even if Cai Jian is good at snooping, he won't know much. But I know a few things, so let’s talk to Junior Brother Qian. First of all, in my eyes, this woman Zong Cheng is indeed a very simple person, but she is the kind of person who can only have herself in her eyes and heart. Depending on the innocence of others, she might approach someone just for fun or for some other purpose, but when that person is used and is no longer useful, Zongcheng will immediately abandon him like a pair of worn shoes, and even if the other person entangles him If you go too far, you might fall into her scheme and lose your life in a daze."
"Is she...so vicious?"
"Haha, vicious, Junior Brother Qian, you underestimate her too much. The most vicious woman in the clan is like Shangguan Hong, but Shangguan Hong is just like a small witch in front of Zong Cheng. Listen to me tell you in detail , First of all, Junior Brother Qian, have you met Zong Cheng?"
"No, I only learned this name recently." Qian Chao replied.
"Well, Zongcheng is a very beautiful woman. Just one glance will leave a deep impression on you. In addition, she practices the illusion of Shuiyun Valley Yue Yinglin. Her character's appearance and her good illusion skills , alas, no one can resist her charm."
Only now did Qian Chao know what Zong Cheng's methods were. However, although it was night, but close, he could still clearly see the intoxicated longing on Feng You's face when he talked about Zong Cheng's beauty. , from this it seems that Zong Cheng is really a stunning beauty.
"Zong Cheng's past experience should be divided into two stages. Well, I have experienced both stages. The first stage was when she was young and her cultivation was still shallow. At that time, Zong Cheng Cheng is very lively and outgoing, loves to talk and laugh. At that time, she did not rarely show up in front of people like she does now. Instead, she often led a group of people to fool around inside and outside the clan. She loved to be in the limelight and enjoyed the feeling of being watched. She also knew that most of the people around her came here for her appearance. She knew very well how attractive her life background and appearance would be to these people, but she was also very resourceful. Those people were all driven around by her command, and they were not afraid of Junior Brother Qian’s jokes. I had tried to get her idea back then, but she scolded her away after approaching her a few times, and she didn’t leave me any favors, so later I gave up the idea."
Qian Chao asked:
"How can a woman like Zongcheng choose her Taoist partner? Isn't it the elders who decide whether the descendants of the five clans are male or female? Don't those who follow her know this?"
"There are those who know, and there are those who don't. Those who know always feel that they will be able to get such a beauty because of their excellence. Such people are usually the disciples of the sect at that time. These guys are not so much interested in the sect. Rather, Cheng’s appearance is more important to the Zong family’s power in the Five Spirits Sect. Each one of them is pretentious and thinks that regardless of their talent, appearance or cultivation methods, they can catch the Zong family’s eyes. Well, among those people there are really disciples of the sect at that time. The rising stars who are in the limelight or the leaders who have long been famous, but even if they want to enter the Jing family, they are just wishful thinking! And those who don’t know are even more stupid. Nine times out of ten, they were recruited by Zong Cheng Bewitched by her appearance, she ran around lustfully and foolishly, trying her best to do this and that. In the end, she couldn't get anything and didn't say anything. On the contrary, they were all happy as if they were nothing. They were just a bunch of idiots! This Zongcheng She is quite capable. She has been fooling around like this for a long time. No matter what purpose the people around her have in approaching her, she has never heard of anyone taking advantage of her. Instead, she coaxed those people one by one. She was so happy that she willingly allowed her to drive her. Then something happened, and many of the people who followed her began to act randomly under the banner of Zong Cheng. Haha, Zong Cheng's identity must be a big deal in the sect. She was a dandy, but if there were too many people around her, it would be impossible to prevent such a thing from happening. Later, it became such a mess that the elders of the Zong family heard about it, and Zong Cheng was severely reprimanded. , strictly ordered her not to act like this again in the future. Zong Cheng naturally felt uncomfortable after being scolded, haha, Junior Brother Qian, guess what happened next?"
"Did...Zong Cheng drive those people away?" After saying that, Qian Chao saw Feng You shaking his head and continued, "Does it mean...she got rid of all those people?"
