139: Confused Kong Fangxiang

Half an hour later, Zhuge Tianming finally recovered his composure.

He stood in the middle of the street, the tears in his eyes having vanished, and gracefully bowed deeply to everyone who cared about him, performing a grand salutation.

Some fans with excellent photography skills quickly captured this scene from the best angles.

It was too beautiful.

The ten-mile-long street was filled with smiling people.

In the center of the sky-filling blue light, Zhuge Tianming, bowing deeply, seemed to have been reborn, transforming from a false blue-haired god into a true Apostle of Destiny.

...

The group eventually arrived at Ling Tianlei's territory; he had recently expanded his hotel business, so there was plenty of space for Zhuge Tianming and his mother to stay.

Everyone gathered in a luxurious private room, ready to divide the spoils.

Xiao Wu looked at Yan Nanzhi with a beaming smile, and Yan Nanzhi's attitude towards Xiao Wu couldn't have been better; she adored this daughter-in-law.

However, when she learned that, strictly speaking, this daughter-in-law wasn't human, she was still somewhat astonished.

But seeing the increasingly abnormal smile on her son's face, she thought, 'Forget it, as long as he likes her.' Young people's preferences are truly... strange and unusual.

In the end, Xiao Fan successfully recorded the Eight Gates Formation, the entire book was recorded, but he could only learn the first four gates for now; the rest would automatically begin to Cultivate when his Realm increased.

Furthermore, Zhuge Tianming also gave him a nine-star ice-attributed Element Seed, saying that if it weren't for Xiao Fan bringing so many big shots to help, he really might not have been able to accomplish this matter.

Zhuge Lingyun later told Zhuge Tianming that the Eight Gates Formation now belonged exclusively to him, and he could give it to whoever he wanted, it didn't matter.

That settled it; Hercules, Ling Qian Sha, and Demon War God could all learn this unique Martial Arts of the Zhuge family!

Finally, a satisfied Xiao Fan returned home to caress his two wives.

After a hard day's work, it was time to relax!

Moreover, he was already looking forward to trying the effect of the eight Element Fusion in the Element Test Chamber the next day!

He vaguely felt that this time it was not merely Element Overlap!

A brand new change should occur.

...

Deep within the Kong Family.

Kong Fangxiang was looking at thousands of documents, reading about the humiliation Zhuge Tianming had suffered in the Family since he was young.

After reading them, he felt somewhat confused, so he chose to seek out his father, the Kong Family head, Kong Qingnian.

Both descendants of Confucius sat upright and dignified; the entire room was filled with thick books, exuding a scholarly aura.

"I actually feel that Zhuge Tianming... doesn't seem to have done anything wrong," Kong Fangxiang said, hesitating a bit, but finally stating his question.

Kong Qingnian smiled and said, "Experience it well, think about it well."

Kong Fangxiang frowned deeply and asked, "Is this why you wanted me to interact with Zhuge Tianming?"

"Are you asking me to overturn everything I've learned since childhood?"

"Of course not," Kong Qingnian shook his head and said, "Although it's said to ask when you don't understand."

"But from now on, I will no longer answer your questions about rules."

"I have paved the way for you for the first ten years."

"The path ahead, you must walk it yourself!"

Kong Fangxiang's expression was complex; he rose, performed a bow, and left.

His mind was very troubled because he couldn't figure anything out.

Why did his father want him to interact with Zhuge Tianming?

What was his father's purpose in letting him see this matter?

Why did the act of destroying his own Family not seem so unreasonable in his mind?

He left, but his mother entered the room; she was also a well-bred lady, dignified and poised, named Zhou Nian'an.

The couple sat opposite each other, drinking tea.

"Why don't you guide Xiao Xiang anymore?" Zhou Nian'an asked with a frown.

"How to guide?" Kong Qingnian gave a self-deprecating smile and said, "Even laws need to be updated annually, so how can rules remain unchanged?"

"What is reasonable in my eyes may not be reasonable in this era."

"It may not be reasonable in Xiao Xiang's environment."

"I gave him a rigid square; now, he must sculpt it into his own circle."

"You want him to be smooth?" Zhou Nian'an raised an eyebrow.

"A circle is certainly not being smooth; a circle represents infinity. The rounder he can sculpt it, the more rules it can encompass."

"Because even I don't know how his talent should develop; after all, it's the first time it has appeared in human history."

"To be safe, I thought about teaching him the ancestral things first, but now the drawbacks have appeared; he only knows how to use that one set, but I believe Lawful Utterance is absolutely not limited to this!"

Zhou Nian'an's frown deepened, and she said, "Then shouldn't you let him interact with Xiao Fan?"

"Among the younger generation, he should be the one who has seen the most rules and has the strongest inclusiveness, right?"

"It's precisely because he has seen too much," Kong Qingnian shook his head and said, "He's completely a wolf cub; his self-contained rule system has already formed."

"If I were to let Xiao Xiang meet Xiao Fan, I even think the two would fight."

"Their philosophies are too incompatible."

"Zhuge Tianming is different; he and Xiao Xiang are both still in the process of exploring and can communicate."

Zhou Nian'an chuckled, "They're going to meet in the next match, aren't they?"

"How much chance of winning do you think Xiao Fan has?"

Kong Qingnian narrowed his eyes and shook his head, "The two of them... fifty-fifty, I guess."

"Xiao Xiang has dual talents, one Myth-Grade, one Divine-Grade!" Zhou Nian'an was shocked and said, "Xiao Fan can be fifty-fifty with Xiao Xiang?"

Kong Qingnian said in a deep voice, "Don't forget, in human history, there has been an Omnipotent Great Sage, an Omni-capable God, who, after developing his talent to the extreme, even surpassed ordinary Myth-Grade ones!"

"Even if Xiao Fan is a subordinate, if he develops the Omnipotent Great Sage talent well, it's completely equivalent to a Divine-Grade talent, and now Xiao Fan is not just developing it well, but unprecedentedly well!"

"Element conflict, increased explosive power, a first in history! I heard that Grand Secretary Liu can barely hold back and is about to directly snatch him."

"Xiao Xiang's Divine-Grade talent is developed well."

"But his Myth-Grade, the degree of development... is just so-so."

"Moreover, Xiao Fan is a natural warrior, while Xiao Xiang is just a scholar!"

Zhou Nian'an propped her chin and smacked her lips, saying, "Xiao Fan..."

"A nobody from a third-tier city actually managed to get this far."

"Truly remarkable!"

"Oh, I was thinking of letting Xiao Xiang also get close to Xiao Fan."

"Look, the Demon War God's daughter followed Xiao Fan, and now she's truly like a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate; among the younger generation, her combat power should be second only to Xi He and Ying Zheng, equivalent to Song Mingguang."

"Then Wang Qingtian, he's listening to the cards."

"Zhuge Tianming, he's listening to the cards."

"Ling Tianlei's Seal has been lifted."

"Yes, Xiao Xiang should definitely get closer to Xiao Fan."

"Don't mess around; just let everything take its nature course!" Kong Qingnian waved his hand.

But Zhou Nian'an frowned and said, "No, the more I think about it, the more feasible it seems!"
