"It doesn't matter." Fang Chen sat cross-legged on the straw mat, poured two cups of tea, and then pushed one cup to Wan Qingzhong.
"Sir, the reason why I came this time..."
"Your Majesty has come from afar. Why not taste my Wangqiu tea first?" Ignoring the anxiety on Wan Qingzhong's face, Fang Chen interrupted softly.
At that time, I cultivated the Heartless Sword Path.. Without being tempered by the world of mortals, my state of mind was lacking. Eventually, I was stuck at the early stage of the Heavenly Venerable Realm and couldn't make any further progress.
Now, since you want me to experience a hundred kinds of lives and be baptized by the world of mortals, then I will follow your will. If I can transcend from this quagmire of the world of mortals, then... Humph!
Fang Chen had already understood that he was still in an illusion at this time. Although everything was terrifyingly real, after seeing Thunder Kid beating the spirit of the weapon in the illusion, everything made sense!
"It was my recklessness." As the emperor of a country, putting himself in such a low posture in front of a mountain villager at this time is really astonishing. But the key is that Wan Qingzhong still looks as if it should be so.
Fang Chen sipped his tea on his own. It wasn't until he felt that Wan Qingzhong had completely calmed down that he said meaningfully, "This Wangqiu tea is baptized by the first rain after autumn. Only then can the bitter taste be completely evaporated. After being moistened by the second rain, the fragrance can be stronger. When the third rain is halfway through, it should be picked in time. If it is too early, the tea will be weak. If it is too late, the tea will be turbid."
Fang Chen glanced at Wan Qingzhong, picked up the cup and drank the already somewhat cold tea in one gulp. "This tea leaf is like dealing with the world and people. If it can't be just right, then good things will also turn into bad things."
Waving his hand to stop Wan Qingzhong who wanted to speak, Fang Chen continued, "Your Majesty only knows that foreign enemies are difficult to overcome, but you don't know that foreign enemies are your own help. If there are no foreign enemies, then there will be no motivation to strive. May I ask Your Majesty, why hasn't the Diyuan Continent been unified for thousands of years since it was divided into three parts?"
Wan Qingzhong frowned tightly and kept turning the cup in his hand. After a long time, he suddenly smiled and said happily, "Thank you for your guidance, sir."
"Your Majesty is busy with state affairs every day. There is nothing to entertain in my humble abode, so I won't keep Your Majesty." Seeing that Wan Qingzhong had understood his meaning, Fang Chen gave an order to see him off.
"Then I won't disturb you, sir."
Seeing Wan Qingzhong walk away, the boy entered the room, sat cross-legged opposite Fang Chen, and asked in confusion, "Just now I listened outside for a long time but still didn't understand. Can you tell me, sir?"
"Your Majesty is only here because the Wanling Kingdom is constantly being attacked by the Yuehuo Kingdom. I just told him that what the enemy can use, we can also use. We can even use it to defeat the enemy." Fang Chen stood up and walked out of the room.
"But I still don't understand."
"You will understand in the future."
...
Three months later, Wangqiu Mountain welcomed an uninvited guest again.
"You can't go in. Sir is in seclusion."
"Get out of the way!"
"Sir..." Seeing the woman trying to force her way in, the boy shouted loudly for Fang Chen while blocking her.
"It doesn't matter. Let her in."
Hearing Fang Chen speak, the boy could only glare at the woman fiercely and then make way.
"I came this time to ask you to help Emperor Cang Qingpeng of the Cangxiong Kingdom unify the world." After seeing Fang Chen, the woman said coldly.
Hearing this, Fang Chen couldn't help but smile wryly and shake his head. During this period of time, he had already determined that all of this was caused by Thunder Kid. Judging from the setting of this life, the woman in front of him is his own biological daughter Fang Lan.
"I'm talking to you! Will you help or not?" Seeing Fang Chen not speaking, Fang Lan was actually a little angry.
Fang Chen looked at Fang Lan, his eyes full of complexity. Although this was an illusion, it was terrifyingly real.
The woman in front of him was really like his own biological daughter. When looking at her, unconsciously, there would be a feeling of wanting to give everything to love and cherish her. But...
"I can't go and help you, Lan'er. I..."
"In that case, then wait for my corpse." Seeing that Fang Chen didn't give the answer she wanted, Fang Lan immediately interrupted coldly. Then she took out a dagger and cut her own neck. Immediately, blood flowed out.
I don't blame you, but you must take good care of our daughter Fang Lan! Remembering the words of his deceased wife by his ear before she died, Fang Chen sighed softly. "Then I will do as you say."
When he came to the palace of the Cangxiong Kingdom, from the moment he saw Cang Qingpeng, Fang Chen understood that his daughter had just been used.
So, in the following years, Fang Chen carefully planned step by step. After helping Cang Qingpeng unify the Diyuan Continent, he died at the hands of his own daughter Fang Lan. Looking at the dagger that had pierced his heart, Fang Chen smiled wryly and said, "I calculated everything in the world, but I didn't calculate you."
Cang Qingpeng sent you to kill me. Once I die, how can you live? Forget it. Forget it. With a soft sigh, seeing that Fang Lan didn't show any sadness even when he was dying, Fang Chen swallowed the way out he had prepared for her long ago and closed his eyes and died...
"Bang!" A sudden sound startled Fang Chen. Looking up, it turned out that the window was blown open by the wind. Putting down the book in his hand and tightening his clothes, he stood up and walked towards the windowsill.
"Whoosh!" When he walked to the window, Fang Chen had just stretched out his hand when he quickly withdrew it and put it to his mouth and blew hard several times. Taking advantage of the warmth on his hand, he quickly closed the window.
In this life, Fang Chen is a scholar. He really studied hard for twelve years but failed repeatedly. His parents lived frugally and worked hard to barely exchange for a poverty-stricken home for him. As for food, it can only be said that he won't starve to death.
Before his parents died, Fang Chen once swore in front of their graves that he must pass the imperial examination and bring honor to his ancestors in this life so that his parents can rest in peace under the nine springs.
Unexpectedly, after twelve years of hard study, he endured ridicule and cold eyes. The woman he was in love with said that they would never be separated in life and death. But after he failed repeatedly in the imperial examination, she married someone else and even blamed him for wasting her youth.
Finally, in the fourteenth year, Fang Chen, who remained unchanged in his original intention and studied hard, finally passed the imperial examination. After crying loudly in front of his parents' graves to announce the good news, before he could go to the imperial capital, there was a sudden internal riot and the country changed hands overnight.
Fang Chen, who was holding the official document and going to the imperial capital, was regarded as a traitor. After being imprisoned for ten years, he was sent back to his hometown. After that, in countless cold taunts and discriminatory abuse, he finally died in depression...
In this life, Fang Chen is a peddler. For the same business, others made a lot of money doing it. But when he did it, either because of the weather or because of bandits. In short, all kinds of natural and man-made disasters came one after another. All his life, he was mediocre and accomplished nothing...
In the fifth life, Fang Chen was a teacher. He was simple by nature but full of knowledge. He dedicated his whole life not only to teaching but also to educating people. In the end, he had students all over the world and died with a smile...
