585 Peach Blossom (1/2)
Fang Yuan took a stroll to a wine shack.
This wine shack, albeit noisy, was enveloped in silence as it was surrounded by a peach forest. The flowers were blossoming, dying the patch of land in pink.
Occasionally, a breeze would pass by and the flower petals would drift into the stream, attracting small fishes to chase after them competitively.
Beside the shack, there was a fisherman who was wearing a conical bamboo hat on his head and a straw raincoat on his body. He was holding onto a fishing rod that was made out of yellow bamboo. A translucent thin, thread hung down from it and into the water body. Suddenly, the line shook.
”I've caught a fish!”
The fisherman smiled and used his arm strength to pull the fish out. A huge carp with a bright red tail jumped out of the water, whipping up endless water droplets.
He stood up and went into the wine shack. Then, he took off his raincoat, causing the eyes of the surrounding people to light up.
This fisherman looked like he was at most thirty year-old. He was beautiful, his features were well-crafted, especially his pair of peach-shaped eyes, filled with raw emotions. At one look, it didn't matter if it was a single or married lady, their heart rate would quicken uncontrollably.
”Xiao Er, cook my fish, another chicken, and bring over two pots of your peach wine,” the fisherman said slowly, his voice deep and attractive with an indescribable charm.
Immediately, the customers in the wine shack, not only females, but also males, looked at him with a certain look.
”Alright!” To this, Xiao Er was indifferent, and smiled. ”Sir, you only drink one pot everyday, what happy event did you encounter today?”
”There's a special guest that's coming from afar, this, in itself, is a happy event!”
The youth with peach-shaped eyes smiled and looked towards the door of the shack. ”Since you're here, why not sit for a drink?”
”Of course!”
Fang Yuan's white robe floated as he walked into the wine shack with long strides, and sat in front of the teenager.
”This peach wine is a local product, please try it first!” The youth smiled as he poured a cup of wine for Fang Yuan. The smell of the wine spread far and wide, with it's unique peach aroma, it tasted pretty good.
Fang Yuan sipped a mouthful, and immediately smiled. ”Not bad!”
”Although the wine tastes good now, it's even better when it's accompanied with a carp fish!”
The youth smiled and said, ”This carp fish ate peach flowers, and its body has an unusual aroma. It's good when it's cooked into a side dish or cooked into a soup for sobering up.”
Just as he said that, he looked like he was recalling a treasured memory. ”I was a regular customer ever since I was a teenager… It's a pity that things have changed…”
”Sir, here's your food!”
At that moment, Xiao Er grinned while she served several plates of food; the chicken was stir-fried with vegetables; fresh fish was cut into thin pieces as sashimi, accompanied by seasonings, its freshness was incomparable.
Fang Yuan flicked his finger and a type of membrane appeared in the surrounding. It wasn't here nor there, and in the eyes of the other customers, there was nothing unusual about the table, it was still two people enjoying their drinks.
”To split the world into two! How magical!” The peach-eyed youth felt slightly moved. ”I thought that I hid extremely well, but I never would've thought that you would still able to find me…”
”I'm Fang Yuan. Greetings, Ancestor!” Fang Yuan got straight to the point.
”So it's the 9 Extremes Mountain's Mountain Master that continuously defeated the demon generals! I'm Zhang Tianling, I go by the name of 'Ancestor.' However, outsider gossip cannot be taken seriously…”
This peach-eyed youth was unexpectedly Fang Yuan's target—Heavenly Spirit Association's honorable elder, Heaven Spirit Ancestor.
Despite imparting divine's techniques, his body's technique was incredibly fine. It was a pity that he was seen through by Fang Yuan's Fiery Golden Eyes.
Although there were five honorable ability within this city, Fang Yuan went directly to the strongest phenomenon, and was able to hit the bull's-eye.
This time, however, Fang Yuan ought to admit that the other party's abilities, demeanor, and aura was top-notch.
”What do you have for me, Mountain master?” Zhang Tianling held a teacup in his hand and revealed a teasing smile.
”Oh? Don't you hate me? And you aren't afraid of me?” Fang Yuan was slightly shocked. ”After all… I'm also a Dream Master? I'm also infamous somehow!”
”Even Lord Demon Killing Divine Pen died at your hands, you truly are outstandingly vicious!” Zhang Tianling nodded his head. ”However, there is good and evil amongst the Dream Masters, furthermore… I'm a True Divine at the moment, which side would I count as? If it's judged solely based on achievements then, you, the Slaughtering Divine, are the one with the most achievements!
”Haha…” Fang Yuan bursted out laughing. ”If the other Spiritual Knights and Wuzongs could be as optimistic as you are, then the world would be a better place…”
”It's no use!” Zhang Tianling's peach-shaped eyes dimmed. ”In the end, the hatred between Wuzongs, Dream Masters, and Spiritual Knights still results in a fight for personal interests. In this aspect, no one, not even me, can make the Heavenly Spirit Association give way!”
Regardless of which organization it is, when it is created it must have its own will in order to fight for its own interests.
Just like in the past, no matter how much a monarch ruled with an iron fist, it still had to give in to the power of the state.
Even if Zhu Yuanzhang killed the ministers and disabled the prime minister, he would still have a cabinet of ministers in the end.
Believe it or not, if Zhang Tianling was the association's leader, the real person who was in control, it was also difficult to make the organization do what he wanted.
”You thought… that I'm here to force you to give way?” Fang Yuan smiled slightly and shook his head. ”You're wrong… I'm here to assist you!”
”Assist me?” Zhang Tianling was shocked, but promptly had something to say, ”I've heard that Mountain Master was Master Heartless's disciple? Is that why you went against the Dream Masters of the Five Major Sects?”
