Under One Person: The Great Celestial Venerable of All Worlds

Chapter 21 The Junior Admits His Mistake

Zhang Chulan's answer was very clever.

He only expressed his approval, but did not state his own views or position, because he was a novice and his knowledge and experience were still limited.

After he experiences everything firsthand, he might have the same thoughts, or he might have different thoughts; even he himself doesn't know...

Therefore, at present.

It's best to be cautious in your words and actions first.

"..."

Fu Xuan gave him a deep look, but said nothing more. He knew his temperament and knew there was no need to force him.

For him, what matters is his destiny, which influences the current trends of the era. Now that his path has changed, that is enough.

Knock knock knock!

Just then, a knock sounded on the door. Fu Xuan waved his hand and said, "Alright, you can go out now. Focus on your cultivation these next few days and prepare for the 'assessment'."

He had already given considerable guidance beforehand; all that remained was to digest it, and with the Qi Pill within his body, there shouldn't be any problems.

"Okay!"

Seeing that he didn't offer any comment, Zhang Chulan didn't dare to ask any further questions and quickly got up to open the door: "Miss Feng, you've arrived! Please come in!"

The two had met the rest of the Feng family last night and knew each other. Feng Shayan smiled and nodded in response before entering the room.

"Senior, you were looking for me?"

boom!

After Zhang Chulan left and closed the door, Fu Xuan pointed to the sofa opposite him, gesturing for her to sit down: "That's right, now that the Feng family is under my control, I naturally have to give them more benefits."

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes flickered as he sensed the Qi belonging to him within the other person's body and controlled this Qi to circulate through their meridians...

"This is?!"

Feeling the strange sensation within her body, Feng Shayan exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't be nervous. I'm sorting out your meridians. You are a naturally gifted person, and the pathways of your meridians are different from ordinary people. If I don't sort them out, it may be difficult for you to make further progress in the future..."

"You should have noticed that as well."

"Um……"

Feng Shayan nodded gently.

Since the meridians of people with innate extraordinary abilities are all different, they have always had to figure it out on their own since there is no experience to refer to, so she doesn't have any solutions for the time being.

Fu Xuan smiled: "I can help you."

"real?!"

Before Feng Shayan could ask anything, Fu Xuan's hand suddenly turned into a claw, grabbing her from a distance and striking her lower abdomen, where his palm began to move.

"Ugh!!!"

This was the first time Feng Shayan had been touched like this by a man. Her body tensed up suddenly, and she instinctively wanted to resist, but her father's instructions just now flashed through her mind...

She bit her lip, raised her hand to unbutton her coat, and "cooperated."

"What are you doing?"

Fu Xuan glanced at her indifferently, and immediately understood: "I wanted to help you cultivate, but you acted like this. Are all members of the Feng family... so frivolous?"

"No, no!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Shayan realized she had misunderstood, and her pretty face instantly flushed red: "I...I was afraid my outer garment would bother you, so I...took it off..."

"Hmm, that makes sense..."

"Then take it off."

Fu Xuan raised an eyebrow, wanting to tease the girl, so he reached out and took off her outer garment, leaving her only in a tank top: "This is also a bit in the way..."

"N-that's fine then!"

Since the other party had no such intention, Feng Shayan didn't want to be seen for nothing, so she quickly begged for forgiveness: "Please forgive me, senior; it was my rudeness!"

Snapped!

With a slap, he pushed the man back onto the sofa. Fu Xuan smiled and said, "Alright, I know what your father is thinking, and I can see that you were forced. But remember, even when you can't obey your father's orders, obeying your own heart is also a form of self-cultivation."

Feng Shayan was taken aback.

His expression darkened, and his head drooped.

"Ruler and subject, father and son, the Three Cardinal Guides and Five Constant Virtues—I never imagined that even after Confucianism has been dissolved for so long, there are still aristocratic families practicing these things, and they're even cultivation families..."

"The most important thing in cultivation is 'contentment,' seeking inner peace. If you can't even do this, no wonder your Feng family has always been inferior... How laughable!"

"Feng Zhenghao—!"

Fu Xuan shouted in a deep voice, his voice exploding directly in Feng Zhenghao's mind, causing his body to tremble: "W-what's wrong?!"

He dared not delay and hurriedly ran to the door, raising his hand to knock lightly...

Knock knock knock!

"Come in!"

"Um...senpai, is there something you need?"

Fu Xuan pointed at Feng Shayan: "Explain yourself! Why did you send this girl to seduce me?"

"Would you like me to be your son-in-law?"

thump!

Upon hearing this, Feng Zhenghao was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, waving his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I meant... if you take a fancy to this girl, you could make her your maid..."

"Is this the kind of person you see?"

"No! You've misunderstood!"

Swah——

Before he could explain, Fu Xuan clenched his fist, and the pain he had experienced the night before surged back, causing him to sway and fall to the ground, convulsing.

"Ughh ...

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Hearing the commotion, Feng Tianyang peeked out from around the corner outside the room. Seeing his elder disciplining his grandson, he quickly shrank back inside, muttering to himself:

"It seems you truly are a gentleman..."

"My dear grandson, you've suffered so much!"

At this time...

"Please, senior, spare my father! That's not what he meant. He just wanted to arrange for someone trustworthy to serve you!"

Seeing her father in such pain, Feng Shayan immediately rushed over and explained to Fu Xuan.

"Oh?"

"As a father, you disregard your daughter's future and happiness, and you're still defending him?"

"No, my father has always loved me dearly since I was little. But as the head of the family, he bears the responsibility of making the Feng family rise again, and there are some decisions he has to make!"

"Please forgive me, senior!"

Feng Shayan kowtowed.

"Oh……"

Seeing this, Fu Xuan's lips curled up and he withdrew his hand.

Feng Zhenghao's convulsions and screams ceased, and he gasped for breath as he quickly scrambled to his feet, saying, "It was my fault! I was inconsiderate! Please forgive me, senior!"

"The person you should apologize to the most is your daughter. Take a good look at her..."

"You're even thinking of selling her, and she's still speaking up for you. You're lucky to have a daughter like that. Don't use her or your closest relatives as bargaining chips anymore."

Fu Xuan knew very well that Feng Zhenghao was a ruthless and ambitious man at heart. He wasn't devoid of family affection, but it couldn't compare to his career. Coupled with his abilities, vision, and charisma, if he had been born in a chaotic era, he might have become an emperor...

They will surely achieve great things!

But he disapproves of this, of this practice of treating everything as an exchange of interests. Its essence is simply that he lacks the ability to do so and tries to use the interests of others to gain his own, euphemistically calling it:

For the sake of the family.

"As the head of the family, one should use everything one has to protect the family and one's family members..."

"Not someone else's."

Sensing the anger in his words, Feng Zhenghao's heart trembled. He turned to look at his daughter kneeling beside him, pleading for him, and couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache...

He spoke in a trembling voice, "Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

"I know I was wrong!"
