Chapter 60 Cause and Effect

With Wei Danbai's resignation, Zheng Shufeng became the new head of the Wei family.

After taking office, Zheng Shufeng faced two big troubles, one was the protection of those out-of-town shops, and the other was that the Wei family was seriously short of money.

In order to solve the problem, the first thing Zheng Shufeng did was to announce the franchise to the outside world. With the help of the franchise, Zheng Shufeng told everyone that Tang Jie was back again, so as to unite people's hearts.

Then Zheng Shufeng began to visit various places in person, and the first one he went to was the Yuhua School. After some talk, Zheng Shufeng left the mountain, and Han Tianji, head of the Yuhua Sect, saw off the guests in person.

As soon as these two incidents happened, the troubles of the Wei family began to decrease, and Zheng Shufeng then ordered the confinement of shops in various places, and sold some unprofitable shops to get back the funds.

Then Zheng Shufeng approached the ancient family and proposed to settle the previous grievances with one hundred thousand taels of silver. She didn't ask the Gu family to leave or sell the store to herself. She was not interested in blood-sucking operations like casinos from the very beginning. The Gu family was overjoyed about this, although it's a pity to lose one hundred thousand taels of silver, but at least they can still stay alive in this Canglong mansion, so that they won't be punished by others.

In the end, Zheng Shufeng contacted each family in person, and used the sale of purple berries as a bait to attract everyone to participate in the shares. Once again, a large amount of funds was gathered, and the situation of the Wei family finally stabilized. , The position of the head of the family has gradually stabilized.

All this took three months to complete.

When the news came, Tang Jie was sitting alone in a small pavilion in Wanhe Garden. It is located at the peak of Xinxiu Peak. Looking down from the mountain, you can see most of Wanquan City.

Sitting in the pavilion, Tang Jie was thinking seriously.

What Zheng Shufeng did didn't surprise him. This woman was already extremely cunning, but as a woman, she lacked the opportunity to display her ambitions. Now that the Wei family has her leadership, it will be more prosperous and flourishing in the future.

What really made him think was what role he played in this matter.

Although from the very beginning, Tang Jie said that he would leave everything to God's will, but in fact, those three things he did quietly changed everything.

He announced his withdrawal, which caused trouble for the Wei family; he notified Mu Yi of the matter, and gave Zheng Shufeng's mother a medicine, so that Zheng Shufeng did not go home to help her husband. If she was there, Wei Danbai would never make such a serious mistake.

Although everything he did did not cause any harm to the Wei family,

But its indirect result seriously hurt the Wei family.

Most importantly - he had seen the result before then.

From this aspect, Tang Jie cheated.

He said he gave it to God's will, but in fact he quietly reversed God's will and changed his destiny in his own way.

So, is this kind of providence still called providence?

Tang Jie thought for a long time.

He couldn't find an answer.

Just as he was thinking, a crane suddenly flew in the distance.

The crane pierced through the clouds and let out a clear and long cry. After seeing Tang Jie, it lowered its head and swooped down to this side, landed in front of Tang Jie, shook its wings and said with a smile: "So you are here, but it hurts you." I'm easy to find."

Seeing this, Tang Jie hurriedly stood up: "I've met Senior Bai Dan, is there anything you can do with me, Senior?"

Xianhe said in a long voice: "Someone wants to see you, follow me."

"Someone wants to see me? Who is it?"

"Don't gossip, you will know when you come." The crane said and jumped into the clouds.

Tang Jie had no choice but to fly away. One person and one crane headed towards the pavilion to the west, and arrived in front of the pavilion in a short while. Tang Jie saw Xie Fengtang guarding in front of the pavilion, pacing back and forth.

Tang Jie had seen Xie Fengtang in the Xiwang Pavilion before, but this was the first time he saw him standing at the door. Seeing that he was waiting for Tang Jie, his expression was rather anxious.

Seeing this scene, Tang Jie was also slightly taken aback, somewhat understanding in his heart.

Sure enough, at this moment when Tang Jie landed, Xie Fengtang had already greeted him and said, "Why did you come here?"

Tang Jie looked at the Xiwang Pavilion and said in a low voice, "Xie Yuan, is there a big man here?"

Xie Fengtang smiled: "You're a smart kid, it's good to know. It's Fengyuan who came back and wants to see you by name."

Feng Hongluan?

Upon hearing the name, Tang Jie was also shocked.

Has Feng Hongluan, one of the nineteenth leaders of the Moon Sect and as famous as Ming Yekong, finally returned?

Hearing that Feng Hongluan wanted to see him at this moment, Tang Jie couldn't help but take a deep breath: "Feng Yuan wants to see me?"

Xie Fengtang patted Tang Jie's hand and said, "Dean Feng lives in Hongyun Peak, it's rare to come here, seize the opportunity!"

Eloquent.

Tang Jie already understood what he meant, and couldn't help feeling hot in his heart, saying: "Please rest assured, Tang Jie can save it."

Immediately, he tidied up his clothes and stepped into the Xiwang Pavilion.

When he came to the door, Tang Jie said to the door: "Student Tang Jie, I was ordered to visit Fengyuan."

As for Feng Hongluan, he didn't even dare to call himself a disciple.

A pleasant voice came: "Come in."

Pushing open the door, Tang Jie saw a person standing opposite him with his hands behind his back, facing him sideways, looking at the scenery outside the window.

There was a sense of familiarity in the vaguely exposed profile, but Tang Jie couldn't remember who it was, so he could only bow to the end first: "Tang Jie has seen Fengyuan!"

The man turned his head slowly.

Seeing the other person's face, Tang Jie was startled for a moment, then blurted out: "So it's you!"

It was an extremely beautiful face, so beautiful that even women would be tempted, but it happened to belong to a man.

Moreover, Tang Jie knew this man, he was the monstrous man Tang Jie had seen in Xinghua Building back then.

It turned out that he was Feng Hongluan!

No wonder he came and went in a secretive manner, no one could check, and he didn't even salute when he saw True Monarch Wuwang.

At this moment, Tang Jie cried out in surprise, and Tang Jie also knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "I didn't know that student was the master of Fengyuan..."

The evil man Feng Hongluan said: "Those who don't know are innocent. What I'm more interested in is, if you knew it was me at the beginning, would you dare to snatch the words of Wuwang Zhenjun?"

Tang Jie didn't expect that the other party would ask him this question. After thinking about it, he raised his head to look at Feng Hongluan, and replied with a very determined expression: "Student dare! The road of seeking the Tao is endless, and we should try our best to seize every opportunity."

Feng Hongluan nodded again and again: "Well said, the road is difficult, and the road to immortality is not easy. Every effort should be diligent and brave. By the way, do you still have the word Wuwang that day?"

Tang Jie shook his head: "It has been used by students."

Feng Hongluan said lightly: "Your way of insight is comprehended through it, right?"

Hearing this, Tang Jie's complexion changed drastically.

Although the way of insight is not a great ability, it has always been cherished by Tang Jie and kept secret. It can be said that it has never been revealed to the outside world. Unexpectedly, Feng Hongluan revealed his truth with a light and clever sentence.

How did he know?

That's right, when I was in Xinghualou that day, I dared to grab Wuwang's words in front of Wuwang Zhenjun. What I showed has already surpassed ordinary students. Whether it is courage, skill, or array attainments, I am far beyond ordinary people.

You must know that at that time, it was no different than the later Xianyuanhui. The performance of Xianyuanhui had several years of cultivation skills in the academy, and many things were easy to explain. At that time, he had only entered school for a year, and the profound attainments he showed were not so good. Well explained.

But at that time, he didn't know that the other party was Feng Hongluan, so he didn't even think about covering it up.

Thinking of this, his heart went cold.

Suddenly he understood the truth of the sentence Feng Hongluan asked just now, "If you knew it was me, would you dare to grab Zhenjun's words of nonsense".

What he asked was not whether he had the courage to face Feng Tiankui, after all, he dared to snatch it in front of the true king, so why not dare to face the peak of Tianxin?

What he asked was: In the face of the people of the Moon Cleansing Sect, do you still have the courage to expose your old background for an innocent word!

If Tang Jie were to answer at this moment, he would definitely say "no"!

Thinking of this, Tang Jie took a deep breath, and finally said: "Fengyuan is aware of the details, Tang Jie is wrong!"

Feng Hongluan looked at Tang Jie and finally showed a smile: "Young man, it's okay to make some mistakes. What you are afraid of is self-righteousness. Sometimes you think you are making fun of the world, but in fact it may just be parents who love their children , I can't bear to be harsh, just a little indulgence."

Tang Jie felt terrified when he heard that.

At this time, he has completely understood Feng Hongluan's meaning, because of the Xinghualou incident, I am afraid that Feng Hongluan has already guessed his true identity.

Tang Jie didn't understand why he didn't say it. The reason he gave was to care for the students. As the head of Xiyue College, he could say that he was the parents of the Xiyue student. Of course, Tang Jie never thought that would be the case. It was so simple, but at this moment he knew that since Feng Hongluan had shown his cards, it would not be appropriate for him to pretend to be a fool, so he could only plop down on his knees and shouted: "Student Tang Jie has committed a serious crime of deception, an unforgivable crime!"

"Get up, don't be so nervous." Feng Hongluan only said indifferently: "You are not Shimen sect, and the secret realm is not in Wenxin territory. As far as my Xiyue sect is concerned, that is our thing, and it is best to get it , there is no gain or loss. As far as I am concerned, people who have cultivated to our level cannot be piled up by relying on resources, and the meaning is even less. What's more, in this matter, I And there are some other thoughts…”

"Any other opinions?" Tang Jie was puzzled.

Feng Hongluan replied leisurely: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether those resources are obtained by the Xiyue Sect or a certain disciple of the Xiyue Sect. The important thing is whether this disciple is really for our sect. As long as a member of the Moon Sect wholeheartedly belongs to my Moon Sect, it does not make any difference whether those resources fall on him alone or are scattered among the people of the Moon Sect. Anyway, they are all members of my Moon Sect in the end It's been used up. And if you consider the strength, a powerful True Monarch is far more valuable than hundreds or thousands of peak-to-mortals..."

This was the first time that Tang Jie heard someone from Xiyue's upper class state their views on the secret realm. With Feng Hongluan's explanation, Tang Jie finally understood.

It turns out that in Feng Hongluan's eyes, his focus has never been on who owns the secret realm, but whether the person who masters the secret realm is loyal to the faction.

In his view, as long as Tang Jie, who has mastered the secret realm, is loyal to the Xiyue Sect, it is equivalent to the fact that the secret realm has belonged to the Xiyue Sect.

From the perspective of maximizing the benefits of resource allocation, concentrating all resources to create a real strong man can actually enhance the strength of the Moon Cleansing faction more than everyone's glory.

Besides, Feng Hongluan didn't think Tang Jie could be forced out just by force.

After all, what happened to Gu Changqing had already happened before that. Gu Changqing's cruel treatment of Tang Jie had already shown that Tang Jie was not a person who could make him submit by punishment. Since the Eagle Lord of Tianshen Palace couldn't make Tang Jie tell the truth, why would Xiyue Sect be able to do it?

Facing a guy who is not afraid of death, sometimes it is helpless for you to let your cultivation reach the sky.

If forced, it may not be possible to force it out; if released, it may release a true king of our sect.

How to choose is natural and clear.

Because of this, he has been observing Tang Jie all these years. On the one hand, it is to continue to confirm whether Tang Jie is the winner of the secret realm. Based on what Xinghualou has seen, Feng Hongluan just has more reasons to doubt than others, but it cannot be completely determined. Another aspect is to see whether Tang Jie can be regarded as a loyal person.

Of course, this kind of observation is not to follow around the clock, it is mainly to collect information about Tang Jie and analyze it.

To put it bluntly, it was Xinghualou's opinion that made Feng Hongluan pay more attention to Tang Jie than others, and because of this, he was able to finally confirm that Tang Jie was the master of the secret realm.

For various reasons, Feng Hongluan has been observing Tang Jie, and until today, finally met him and had a showdown.

"The reason why I have a showdown with you today is mainly because of two things. One is that your loyalty to the Moon Cleansing Sect remains to be seen, but I appreciate your attitude towards the Wei family."

Feng Hongluan's words unraveled the mystery and made Tang Jie realize suddenly.

There is always a causal relationship in the dark, no matter what the world thinks about Tang Jie's treatment of the Wei family, at least in the eyes of Feng Hongluan, who is also a cultivator, it is already impeccable.

Knowing this, Tang Jie said loudly to Feng Hongluan: "Tang Jie was cultivated by the Xiyue Sect, and he will be loyal to the Xiyue Sect for the rest of his life, and he will never change his will!"

Feng Hongluan was unmoved, but said indifferently: "Really? Then tell me, what is the Moon Sect?"

What is the Moonwashing Sect?

Tang Jie was taken aback by this question.

He didn't know how to answer.

Feng Hongluan said: "The Moonwashing Sect, this is just a name. It is a collection of countless cultivators, and it represents the will of countless people. Today, Ling Xiao is the ruler of the Moonwashing Sect, and his will is The will of the Moon Sect. If Uncle Xiao is replaced as the master tomorrow, then his will will also be the will of the Moon Sect. But if the opinions of these two people are at odds, then...how can you be loyal to the Moon Sect? What about pie?"

This question made Tang Jie dumbfounded.

But he finally understood what Feng Hongluan meant, and knelt down on half his knees: "Tang Jie will follow Fengyuan's will in this life, and dare not go against it!"

"Me?" Feng Hongluan smiled: "It's just a small academic school. If you follow me, you will only put yourself in a disadvantageous situation. In the end, there is no need. I will not force you to listen to anyone. What you have done before, I have already seen that a person like you should not be forcibly assigned. If you want to treat you sincerely, you need to treat you sincerely first. Just like the second elder of the Wu family."

Tang Jie lowered his head and dared not speak.

Feng Hongluan has continued: "Because of this, I will not forcefully restrain you. I just need to place you in the faction and appreciate the cultivation of the faction's grace. In time, I will naturally regard the faction as my home and take good care of it. Just now You said those words, just want you to understand that there are many cultivators in the sect, and their wills are mixed, no matter who you will take orders from or attach to in the future, at least you should consider the future of the sect before acting."

Tang Jie was in awe: "Yes, the student understands!"

"Since that's the case, you should know what mistakes you made and why I want to see you, right?" Feng Hongluan said.

Tang Jie thought for a while and understood: "Feng Yuan said just now that he had a showdown with me today because of two things. The second thing, I'm afraid it refers to Qijue Sect?"

A smile finally appeared on Feng Hongluan's beautiful face: "It's good that you know, if not, I can't be sure that you are Tang Jie. Speaking of which, your real exposure is still your own deliberate action, and I can't help it." It’s a bit more suspicious than ordinary people. It’s just that you have good things but only sell them to Qijue Sect. It’s really disgusting. Don’t you think that the humble faction can’t afford good prices?”

Tang Jie smiled wryly: "It's the student's fault, I just..."

"I just feel that even if you can afford it, you might not be willing to do it, right?" Feng Hongluan said lightly, "I can understand your thoughts, but as I said, you still lack some loyalty to the faction. If you really want to Well, Moonwashing faction, with your plan, will you not be able to find a suitable solution? After all, you are used to exhausting your energy for yourself, and you are not used to exhausting your mind for Moonwashing faction."

Tang Jie was stunned.

yes.

He was indeed worried that the Moonwashing faction would take the opportunity to suppress his price, and even arrest him in turn, so he was unwilling to sell things to the Moonwashing faction.

But what Feng Hongluan said is right, he even dealt with Tianshen Palace, and even cooperated with Qijue Sect, can he still solve this trivial matter?

It's just not enough hard work!

This is also Feng Hongluan's dissatisfaction with him.

If it weren't for the fact that his behavior towards the Wei family was still in line with morality, I'm afraid Feng Hongluan's next choice would really be to arrest him and force him to take advantage.

Thinking of this, Tang Jie's forehead was also sweating: "It's the students who are used to being selfish!"

Feng Hongluan said indifferently: "I know I made a mistake, so let's change it."

"Yes! Since that's the case, how about asking Fengyuan to buy it for you? The student is willing to sell it to Fengyuan at 60% of the price of Qijuemen."

"Isn't that answering your previous worries?" Feng Hongluan said lightly: "Forget it, let's pay 90% of the price. No matter what, I always cultivate your sect and protect you from wind and rain. It's 10% cheaper Always. Also, did you conspire with Qijuemen to deal with Tianshen Palace?"

"yes!"

"Tianjin Palace is the best friend of the Beast Refining Sect. Shoveling its wings is also a good thing for my Moonwashing faction. When the claws of Tianshen Palace come in again, if you can't deal with it, you can let me know. I will arrange for it to save you Then use those conspiracies all day long. Of course, I also want to ask you to charge some fees."

Tang Jie was overjoyed: "Thank you Fengyuan!"

"In that case, let's go." Feng Hongluan waved his hand, and Tang Jie took his leave.

Leaving Xiwang Pavilion, and talking to Xie Fengtang again, Tang Jie went back.

On the way back, Tang Jie was in a turbulent mood.

Feng Hongluan's words opened a window for Tang Jie's heart.

Before that, he had never thought that such a kind of thinking still existed among the top leaders of the Xiyue Sect.

Yes.

Why do you have to hold the secret realm in your hands? As long as the people who master the secret realm are included in the sect, it is also the use of the secret realm.

In the end, my vision was narrow, and because of the Tianshen Palace, I felt that everyone was trying to calculate and rob me.

Now that the clouds are clear and the sun is shining, Tang Jie is also in a great mood, wishing he could let out a long roar.

God willing!

Perhaps this is the real will of God!

When he chose to let God deal with Wei Danbai, Feng Hongluan also chose to trust herself!

At this moment, Tang Jie suddenly understood a problem that he hadn't figured out before.

In life, who doesn't want to grasp the dice of fate?

In theory, God can decide and deal with it fairly, but emotionally, I can’t wait to follow my will and punish God.

Even if you can't grasp your destiny, don't imitate the butterfly.

With a flap of wings, watch the waves rise and disappear!

So, even though I have influenced the will of heaven, who can say that the will of heaven that has been affected is not the will of heaven?

Thinking of this, Tang Jie stopped suddenly.

At that moment, he stood on Xinxiu Peak, with his hands behind his back, facing the sky.

I suddenly realized something in my heart.

Some students passed by and saw him standing on the road in a daze, motionless, surprised and wanted to ask, but a spiritual wave surged and pushed the students away.

Then came a clear and pleasant voice: "Tang Jie has some insights, and he is asking himself to understand the Tao, so don't disturb him."

Following these words, Tang Jie's place had formed an invisible air wall, separating all the students from the wall.

Tang Jie's stop lasted three days and three nights.

Three days later, Tang Jie suddenly looked up to the sky and burst out laughing.

He yelled loudly: "I understand, this is cause and effect!"

The way of cause and effect!
