32: The Second Elder's Reminder

Chapter 32 The Second Elder's Reminder

Above the Main Peak.

"Second Elder, you were looking for me?"

Fang Chen walked into the main hall with a calm expression, his gaze falling on the Second Elder not far away.

"I heard you took the Saintess of Moonlight Hall as a follower?"

The Second Elder looked at Fang Chen as he walked in and asked.

The Second Elder looked very young, his face seemingly untouched by the years, dressed in a white robe, appearing like an immortal.

His white hair seemed to have seen through the Mortal World.

Fang Chen nodded and said, "I saw that Hua Mengying's talent was good, so I let her become a follower. Besides, you all used to urge me to take on some followers, and now it's exactly as you wished."

Generally speaking, famous Prodigies all have a group of followers under them.

Even the fewer ones have several, but Fang Chen alone had no followers, mainly because he was used to being alone and didn't particularly like having followers.

If Fang Chen was willing, there's no telling how many followers would actively offer themselves.

Previous Fang Chen was always pursuing Lin Luowei, how could he have time to take followers? Moreover, previous Fang Chen was a devoted person, so it was impossible for him to take followers.

"We have no objection to you taking the Saintess of Moonlight Hall as a follower; in fact, we'd prefer you take more followers."

"It's just that the Saintess of Moonlight Hall has a special identity, so you still need to be careful not to be used by her."

The Second Elder reminded with a smile.

Fang Chen was the future of their Cloud Heaven Holy Land, and they had watched him grow up; his character was deeply liked by them.

They were more than happy for him to take a Prodigy like Hua Mengying, but Hua Mengying's identity was special, so they certainly had to be cautious.

"Second Elder, please rest assured. Although Hua Mengying is the Saintess of Moonlight Hall, she rises above the mud unstained and is different from the others in Moonlight Hall."

It's hard to say about the others in Moonlight Hall, but as for Hua Mengying, Fang Chen could guarantee her.

If one were to ask who was most trustworthy in the entire novel, it would definitely be Hua Mengying.

Even his cheap Revered Master might not be as trustworthy as Hua Mengying.

This implies that anyone could betray Fang Chen, but only Hua Mengying could not?

Even in the original work, Hua Mengying was hurt by Fang Chen multiple times but still sided with him.

In the original work, even Xiao Yunting ultimately did not win Hua Mengying's heart.

"It seems you trust her very much. I remember you two didn't seem to have any contact before, did you?"

"If I didn't know you, I'd even suspect if you were controlled by Hua Mengying."

The Second Elder said in surprise.

For Fang Chen to say such words was by no means easy; even the former Lin Luowei couldn't have achieved that.

"It's hard for me to explain this; as long as the Second Elder trusts me, that's enough." Fang Chen smiled.

"It's good that you're so confident. Besides, young people's matters are best decided by themselves; we old folks shouldn't interfere."

"However, now that you've taken Hua Mengying as a follower, what about Lin Luowei?"

"I heard you've already given up on her?"

The Second Elder looked at Fang Chen and asked.

Fang Chen sighed, looking helpless, "Second Elder, as the saying goes, familiarity breeds fondness, and water dripping wears away stone!"

"I was devoted to Lin Luowei back then, pursuing her like that. Even a stone would have opened its mind, yet she still showed no change, instead becoming more disgusted with me. I don't know why."

"Rather than continue like this, I might as well give up. Sometimes, choosing is a good thing, letting go of myself and also letting go of the other person. Moreover, sometimes choosing is more important than persisting."

If it were the original body, he might still persist, but Fang Chen was absolutely not a simp.

Since pursuing someone for so long yielded no results, why continue to persist?

"It's best if you understand this principle; we won't force you. It's still the same saying: young people's matters are best decided by themselves."

The Second Elder agreed profoundly.

Immediately, his expression changed, and he said solemnly, "Alright, no more about these matters. Next, I have something important to tell you."

"We are aware of everything you did in Wanling City, and you did very well. Not only did you help our Cloud Heaven Holy Land establish its prestige, but you also obtained four intact saint grade divine weapons, bringing great benefits to our Cloud Heaven Holy Land."

"However, what you did was also extremely dangerous. Now, you are completely famous throughout the Tianxuan World; no one doesn't know your name. All forces will keep a close eye on you, and everything you do from now on will be their focus!"

"At the same time, these major forces will definitely take action against you if they find an opportunity!"

The Cloud Heaven Holy Land was naturally pleased with the events in Wanling City.

Not only did it enhance the reputation of Cloud Heaven Holy Land, but it also obtained four saint grade divine weapons.

"I naturally understand this. Moreover, such things are unavoidable. As the Saint of Cloud Heaven Holy Land, even without the events in Wanling City, I would still be targeted by many major forces."

"Rather than that, it's better to be bolder and let those Prodigies and monsters know that our Cloud Heaven Holy Land is not to be trifled with; it's impossible to step on us!"

Fang Chen said calmly.

He was the Saint of Cloud Heaven Holy Land; even if he wanted to keep a low profile, he couldn't, so Fang Chen simply stopped trying to be low-key.

"I think you should be more steady. I don't like to put pressure on you, but you must understand that you bear the heavy responsibility of our Cloud Heaven Holy Land's rise and are the future of our Holy Land."

The Second Elder sighed.

Although Cloud Heaven Holy Land had great prestige in the Tianxuan World, its current strength was far from what it used to be.

If a top-tier expert didn't emerge, the status of Cloud Heaven Holy Land would significantly decline, losing its prestige in front of those major forces.

"Second Elder, don't worry, our Holy Land will definitely return to its Peak, and can even surpass its Peak."

Fang Chen said with confidence.

"I certainly believe that."

The Second Elder nodded.

On the other side.

After Lin Luowei returned, she saw Hua Mengying outside her door, looking at her with a beaming smile.

"Sister, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Hua Mengying said, grinning from ear to ear.

"Hmph, I don't want to see you. Hurry up and scram."

Lin Luowei said with a sullen face, directly issuing an eviction notice.

She could see anyone else, but the person she least wanted to see was Hua Mengying.

Seeing this, Hua Mengying's smile grew even wider: "Sister, I just don't understand, how did I offend you, Sister? You're so fierce."

Hua Mengying was doing it on purpose; she came just to annoy Lin Luowei.

It wasn't to show off, but to vent for Fang Chen and disgust Lin Luowei.

"Hua Mengying, if you don't leave now, don't blame me for being impolite."

Lin Luowei was a bit annoyed; the more she thought about it, the more irritated she felt, and the more irritated, the more agitated.

Leaving aside the matter of the yin yang divine water, just thinking that Fang Chen might be with Hua Mengying made Lin Luowei feel agitated.

This was a situation that had never happened before.

If it were before, Lin Luowei would not only not be agitated but would instead feel happy, because Fang Chen would no longer bother her.

But now, she felt an inexplicable agitation.

"Then why do you want to drive me away?"

"You've known each other for so many years, your relationship must be very good..."

Hua Mengying continued talking to herself, not caring if Lin Luowei could bear it.
