Chapter 1243: The Helpless Fang Yun and the Resentful Tang Wenrou
Su Linglong, while introducing Zhuge Lian, Fang Yun and the Tang Wenrou behind her exchanged glances, secretly sizing up Zhuge Lian with various thoughts in their minds.Fang Yun felt joy mixed with helplessness; Tang Wenrou, on the other hand, was filled with quiet resentment.
Fang Yun’s joy stemmed from sensing a familiar aura on Zhuge Lian. She knew Zhuge Lian must have received the Martial Arts Techniques passed down by Fang Bai. In terms of appearance, figure, and temperament, Zhuge Lian was not inferior to Su Linglong and the other women, seeming to possess even greater strength.
The helplessness was because her own little brother was simply too passionate. He had already incurred many romantic debts in the Secular World, and now in the True Martial Realm, he had found another confidante. It would surely be his headache in time.
As for Tang Wenrou, after coming from the Secular World to the True Martial Realm, though separated by distance from Fang Bai, her heart was entirely fixated on him. Yet, to her dismay, before she could even see Fang Bai, she witnessed another of his confidantes whom he had met in this foreign world, feeling not only quiet resentment but also wronged.
However, in the presence of everyone, the resilient Tang Wenrou did not show her grievances or bitterness and simply looked at Zhuge Lian with an indifferent expression.
Moreover, during her time in the Secular World, Tang Wenrou had accepted the fact that Fang Bai had several confidantes at the same time. Over the past year in the True Martial Realm, she also understood that many male and female Martial Artists here had multiple cultivation partners.
These Martial Artists with multiple cultivation partners were not just fulfilling physical needs by being together but also mainly sought to enhance each other’s Cultivation Levels through joint cultivation.o keep his promises. Since he made a vow before your father’s remains, he will definitely do everything within his power to fulfill it! Perhaps it won’t be long before you can find your mother."
Hearing Fang Yun mention her never-met father and her missing mother, Zhuge Lian couldn’t help but feel somber and quietly nodded in agreement.
Zhuge Lian followed Fang Bai all the way from Tiansheng Continent for two reasons: one was that her heart was indeed tied to Fang Bai, and the other was her hope for Fang Bai’s help in finding her mother.
But aside from knowing her mother’s name, Zhuge Lian knew nothing else—how difficult would it be to find her mother?
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Fang Yun ordered other Huaxia Sect disciples to clean up the battlefield and collect the spoils of war, while she herself returned to the Huaxia Sect with Su Linglong and the others.
On the way back, as Su Linglong and the others saw corpses and severed limbs strewn across the ground and smelled the blood in the air, imagining the fierce battle that had taken place, they couldn’t help but shudder.
Groups of Huaxia Sect disciples were methodically moving the bodies, piling them up in the distance for incineration.
"I know my brother well; he’s not one to recklessly risk his life in the heat of the moment. Since he left behind a letter before he left the ship, declaring that he was going to lure away Madam Linghu, it means he was confident of his own survival... Don’t worry, let us just quietly wait for his return here at the Huaxia Sect!"
Once everyone returned to the Huaxia Sect, seated in the Sect Master Hall, Fang Yun listened to Su Linglong and the others recount the events on Misty Island. She did not show any sign of anxiety but comforted them instead.
"Fang Yun is right, Fang Bai is so formidable, there’s no way he would be in any danger!"
Fang Bai’s parents, who had rushed over to talk with Su Linglong and the others, agreed with their daughter Fang Yun upon hearing her words.
As parents who had witnessed Fang Bai’s growth step by step to his current stature, Fang Gang and Yang Mei had an almost blind trust in their son, firmly believing in his fortunate and protected destiny, confident that nothing would happen to him.
Seeing that both Fang Bai’s parents and sister all spoke with such confidence, Su Linglong and the others began to feel at ease.
That same day, Fang Yun had someone arrange accommodation for Su Linglong and the rest, provided them with food and drink, and advised them to rest and cultivate. At the same time, she dispatched two groups of disciples again, one to continue searching for news about Fang Bai, and the other to scatter across the entire Shenwu Continent to help Zhuge Lian find traces of her mother.
Su Linglong, Linghu Qianjiao, Linghu Baimei, Dongfang Ruhua, Zhuge Lian, Ghost Hand, Niu Ben, Xiong Yingxiong, and Wu De—each of their cultivation levels was at the pinnacle within the Huaxia Sect. Their arrival significantly strengthened Huaxia Sect’s power, inspiring the Huaxia Sect disciples.
As for the Lieyang Sect and other major sects, with their Sect Masters and high-level members killed, the disciples either left or dispersed, and the sects gradually collapsed, leaving within a thousand miles, an area which became the sphere of influence of the Huaxia Sect.
