Evil Master and Disciple

Chapter 1457 Not Following the Rules!

Fatty Yulong had long anticipated that Fairy Yuying would break up the couple, severing the connection between Li Xuerong and Liu Changyuan.

Seeing that Fatty Yulong was looking at her with a very strange expression, Fairy Yuying said, "You fatso, why are you so concerned about my disciple's affairs? What is your purpose? You are not familiar with that Liu Changyuan. You would not have asked about Xue Rong and his affairs just because you chatted with him for a few minutes."

Yu Long, the fat man, chuckled and said, "Junior sister, you really understand me. Actually, first of all... well... there's something I'm not sure if I should say."

Yu Long, the fat man, stammered, as if he had something difficult to say.

This made Fairy Yuying even more curious.

She knew how thick-skinned Yu Long was; if this fatso was stammering, it certainly wasn't something nice.

Fairy Yuying said, "Then let's not talk about it."

Yu Long, the fat man, was slightly taken aback, thinking to himself, "Why isn't this old woman playing by the rules?"

According to proper procedure, shouldn't one say, "We're all people here, so just say what you want to say"?

Yu Long, the fat man, chuckled awkwardly, picked up a cup of tea in front of him, and sipped it gently.

Fairy Yu Ying stole glances at him.

In the end, Fairy Yuying gave in and said, "Speak, what is it?"

Yu Long, the fat man, chuckled and said, "Actually, I think Liu Changyuan is not a bad person."

Fairy Yuying said, "That depends on who you compare yourself to. If you compare yourself to your eldest disciple, he would be good to anyone."

"Hey, hey, junior sister, we're talking about Liu Changyuan right now, don't bring Feng'er into this. Junior sister, you should understand that people may be able to control everything, but they can never control their inner feelings, especially the love between men and women."

Over the years, Xue Rong has been willing to endure your punishment to secretly meet with Liu Changyuan, which shows that their love, like ours, is not a transaction seeking physical pleasure; there is genuine affection between them.

When it comes to love, it's better to guide than to suppress. Trying to sever their relationship by confining Xue Rong to her home is virtually impossible.

Fairy Yu Ying glanced at Fatty Yu Long and said, "Time is the best medicine. Given enough time, it can fade the feelings between them."

"How long will that be? Ten years? Or a hundred years? Xue Rong is not like Nangong Yan; her mind is very simple. If her emotions are imprisoned for too long, it might cause her to develop inner demons. Xue Rong's age is a crucial time for cultivation. If she cannot break through to the Celestial Realm before she turns a hundred, then her life will be ruined."

Junior sister, what I mean is, since their feelings for each other are real, why don't you do them a favor and let them be together?

Regardless, Liu Changyuan is a true disciple of the sect leader, and his family background is extremely illustrious. Xue Rong marrying him isn't considered marrying down.

Fairy Yu Ying frowned slightly.

She found it strange that Fatty Yulong would speak up for Xue Rong and Liu Changyuan today.

This shouldn't be the case.

Could it be that Liu Changyuan's surname isn't Liu, but Huang? The Huang of Huang Youdao?

Suddenly, the clever Fairy Yuying had a slight thought.

She seemed to have figured something out.

He said, "You fatso, you're not planning to use Xue Rong to pave the way for your disciple, are you?"

Yu Long, the fat man, said, "Junior sister, what you're saying is too harsh. What do you mean by paving the way for my disciple?"

Feng'er and Shuang'er are deeply in love, and they will inevitably become cultivation partners. In the future, Feng'er will be the son-in-law of your Mozhuxuan.

If Feng'er and Shuang'er really take over Yunhai Residence in the future, you'll be proud of them.

In fact, Fu Jinghong is not difficult to deal with; the real challenge lies with Dugu Changkong.

Despite the significant damage the last incident caused to Dugu Changkong's strength within the sect, even a centipede, though dead, does not die easily.

Dugu Changkong has cultivated deep roots within the Yunhai Sect for many years. Most importantly, he is extremely shrewd and ruthless. He's even capable of stealing spiritual energy from the array's core. He is a man destined for greatness.

In comparison, Fu Jinghong is far inferior. Although Fu Jinghong's cultivation level is higher than Dugu Changkong's, his mind, methods, and shrewdness are far inferior to Dugu Changkong's.

The successive leaders of the Yunhai Sect have never chosen the one with the highest cultivation level. For example, Senior Brother Yunyi's cultivation level was far inferior to that of Senior Brother and Third Senior Brother, yet he became the sect leader back then.

"Was it something we fought for back then? No, no, no, the reason we were able to win back then was because Senior Brother Yunyi had the support of the Xuan Ying Division."

"Shadow Master? What does that mean?"

Fairy Yuying looked puzzled.

All she knew was that the Shadow Hall within the Cloud Sea Sect consisted of three departments: the Dark Shadow Department, the Hidden Shadow Department, and the Blood Shadow Department.

The Shadow Division primarily gathers intelligence within the sect and monitors some of the sect's important elders.

The Shadow Division mainly conducts field missions, infiltrating various places in the human world or various sects to collect intelligence and gather information.

The Blood Shadow Division mainly does dirty work, such as murder to cover up wrongdoing.

Fairy Yuying had never heard of the Xuanying Division.

Even though he was in a bamboo hut protected by multiple soundproof barriers, Fatty Yulong still subconsciously looked around.

Then he said softly, "The Mysterious Shadow Division is the most secretive organization in the Cloud Sea Sect. Most elders and disciples have never even heard of it. I only came into contact with the Mysterious Shadow Division when I was assisting my second senior brother."

The Xuan Ying Division is composed of a group of top experts from the Yun Hai Sect. Furthermore, only those who have been elders of the Yun Hai Sect for three generations are eligible to be recruited into the Xuan Ying Division.

They are the true masters of the Cloud Sea Sect; whoever they support will become the next sect leader.

They generally don't act, sometimes not for centuries, only intervening when the sect faces a crisis. Even if the current sect leader does something that damages the foundation of the Cloud Sea Sect, they have the right to replace him.

With the patriarch's special permission, they could act first and report later, and even the sect leader could not restrain them.

Those who participated in the Jiuhua Mountain operation were mostly Xuan Ying practitioners; the sect leader only learned of the Xuan Ying Division's attack on Shen Feiyang the following day.

"what?!"

Fairy Yuying's expression changed drastically.

Like all the elders and disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect, she had always believed that the sect leader held supreme power within the sect.

I never expected there to be a mysterious Xuan Ying Division.

They can bypass the sect leader and even depose the sect leader and establish a new ruler!

Yu Long, the fat man, said, "Junior sister, you heard me right. What I said is true. When Xuan Ying Si chooses a new sect leader, they often do not consider the candidate's cultivation level first. Instead, they consider the candidate's way of dealing with people, how deep their scheming is, and whether they are loyal to Yun Hai Sect."

Even if Feng'er gets the sect leader's support, it cannot be guaranteed that Feng'er will be able to take over smoothly. Xuan Ying Si is the one with the final decision-making power.

Based on my judgment, Fu Jinghong is not a threat, and in the end, it will be a situation where Dugu Changkong and Feng'er have to choose one of them.

However, in terms of cunning and shrewdness, Feng'er is no match for Fu Jinghong, much less for Dugu Changkong.

I need to make some preparations in advance and plant spies around Dugu Changkong.

Liu Changyuan is the core figure in Dugu Changkong's forces, and no one is more suitable than him.

Whether it's trying to win over Liu Changyuan or trying to extract information about Dugu Changkong from him, only Xue Rong can accomplish this.
