129 On Correctly Handling the Relationship Between Immortal and Mortal (2/2)
“This report… I really have no way to judge it, better to hand it over to Sect Leader.” With that, he couldn’t help but laugh. “Luckily, it’s Fifth Junior Sister who sheltered him; besides her, no one can teach such a disciple.”
——
Three days later at the Stellar Peak, Sect Leader Daoist Master Feng Yin, holding a report, continued to bitterly smile.
“Oh, these several Successor Disciples of Spirit Sword Sect, one is excellent, and the other one makes people worry; this Liu Li… No wonder it makes Junior Brother flustered in frustration. Even though the prerequisite to practice the Brilliant Sword Heart is to have a clear mind, at this point, how could she assume an important role in the future?”
A dismissive voice came from the side.
“Humph, why would a woman need to assume important role? She just needs to find a local boss to keep her as a mistress, and later on, she would enjoy endless glory, splendor, and wealth.”
Feng Yin flicked his head to the side. “Why don’t you find one yourself?”
The woman replied without skipping a beat, “Senior Brother, keep me.”
“You need to first pay back the money that you owe me.” Feng Yin lightly brushed her off, and then he said, “Did you know that a few days ago, someone from the Shengjing Sect came to visit us?”
“The guy who rode a donkey? He did have some skill; what did he want?”
“What else? Naturally, it’s because the trouble stemming from your beloved Disciple.”
The woman shrugged. “So what, the sect is already a member of Union of Ten Thousand Immortal, there’s nothing he can do about it.”
“Nonsense, don’t you know how your disciple was able to let his sect be a member of the union? If not for the sake of Spirit Sword Sect’s face, he wouldn’t have been able to deliver that two million spirit stones! Now, people don’t find trouble because they know there’s Spirit Sword Sect behind it; they even turn a blind eye to the use of Heaven Burning Blood Technique. However, you also shouldn’t forget that more than a year ago, because of this Heaven Burning Blood Technique, you made the Shengjing Sect suffer such a huge loss of face. And now Spirit Sword Sect is basically repeating the same trick, guess what the Shenjing Sect would think about this?”
The woman was naturally too lazy to guess. “In short, did he find any fault?”
Feng Yin said, “No, he didn’t. After all, if our Spirit Sword Sect insists on suppressing this thing, there’s nothing he could say. In the Central Region, the conduct of Shengjing Sect is far more oppressive than your disciple’s Wisdom Sect; though without the method that breaks the harmony of heaven like the Heaven Burning Blood Technique, it’s a well-known fact that they amassed financial resources from millions upon millions of people, which enriched many Immortal Cultivators. And at least for now, there’s not much corruption in Wang Lu’s Wisdom Sect. It is an open secret that Immortal Cultivation World basically suppresses mortal world; nothing can be blamed on it. If he wants to insist on picking a quarrel over this matter, not only will it cast his Shengjing Sect in a bad light, the entire union members of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals in the whole Blue River Region will be implicated; it would do more harm than good to him.”
“Then, what’s the point in bringing it out?”
Feng Yin said with a smile, “In this world, the truth is always like this: when there’s oppression, there’s resistance. The Immortal Cultivation World has always been squeezing the world of mortals, and the world of mortals would often revolt. However, for tens of thousands of years, this hierarchy is still unshakeable… After all, we, Immortal Cultivators, ultimately are better at killing people. However, the resistance of this suppression not just come from the mortal world itself; take a look at this report.”
The woman took over the report and browsed through it. After some time, she laughed. “This is ghostwriting.”
“...That child Zhu Qin is a crown prince of a country, so it’s not a surprise if he had help from his country’s scholars. The key here is the meaning of the content.”
The woman put aside that report. “What do you mean? It’s basically just moaning while being raped, nothing more; it’s just a cliche.”
Feng Yin said, “There’s nothing surprising about the report itself, but when you combine it with this?”
With that, he passed over a letter to her. The woman was stunned when she read it. “Union of Ten Thousand Immortals’ General Assembly information? This… this is the mortal world’s representative from the State of Qin in the Central Region? They also request the Immortal Cultivation World to strengthen the control and guidance of the mortal world? Interesting, what a coincidence.”
Feng Yin sneered. “What coincidence? This kind of proposal happens every time there’s a General Assembly. Every time, there’s also a written comment from the union leader, yet, in the end, it’s still bullsh*t because nothing is ever implemented. They all ended up chanting out some slogan. With Shengjing Sect as a precedent, no one ever dared to propose a thorough investigation on the interference of the Immortal Cultivation World towards the mortal world in the union's general assembly. Even if they raise it, it’s still useless because only low-rank small sects that committed crimes would be put in order. However, the number of people who proposed this thing was getting increasingly larger. Now, even our Spirit Sword Sect has encountered this kind of thing. Although the Shengjing Sect is at the height of their power, the pressure on them is a hundred times more than us.”
The woman blinked. “So, that donkey riding Daoist came here to commiserate together with us?”
“Not just to commiserate together with us, Kong Zhang also came here in a personal capacity. Under the surface, he insinuated that he want to consult.”
“Consult? About what?”
“That guy was very secretive with his words, never said it outright. At first, I thought he’s just mentally ill, but a few days after he went away, I get this report. Finally, I understand the thing that he wanted to ask. Oh, the chosen one really lives up to his name.”
Feng Yin sighed and then opened up the report that he has seen through the most.”
“Serve the People!” [1]
