Frankly Speaking (2)
Although Feng Shao can be considered to be the leader of a big foundation now, in his heart, he still can’t help but miss the warm time at that time.
“Then what happened next?” Liu Shou asked immediately.
Seeing Liu Shou’s eyes full of curiosity, Feng Shao smiled slightly and said, “Later, the third uncle master, who only accepted female apprentices, suddenly accepted a male apprentice from outside, and this male apprentice is Ye Chen. And then, this Ye Chen caused trouble everywhere, and he even snatched the Bifang Crane Flame that we finally got from his own senior sister. The third junior sister, who has always been sensible and obedient, actually always covered for him and protected him. It’s a pity at that time, I haven’t realized how much harm this Ye Chen will bring…”
Afterward, Feng Shao talked and told the two of them in detail what Ye Chen did later on.
Unlike Liu Shou who listened purely as a story, Tang Fei’s expression became more and more serious.
Although the experiences of Ye Chen and Chu Qing were very different, Tang Fei always felt that there was some kind of unusual connection between them.
“…In the end, it was Ye Chen who was defeated by my first disciple Xue’er and died in my hands. But although he died, those who died because of him will never come back,” When Feng Shao said this, he smiled bitterly again, and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.
Afterward, he poured himself another glass of wine, looked at Tang Fei at the same time, and said meaningfully, “Brother Tang Fei, did you realize something else from what I said?”
After Tang Fei hesitated for a while, he said, “I feel that he is very similar to Chu Qing.”“Yes! That’s right! It’s very similar!” Feng Shao was probably a little drunk, and his voice raised a little involuntarily. He patted the table with resentment in his expression, “Not only are their personalities similar, but their experiences and backgrounds are also similar! Brother Tang Fei, do you want to know why they are so similar?”
Under the curious eyes of the two, Feng Shao pointed to the sky and said coldly, “Because they are the sons of fortune appointed by Heavenly Dao! They are loved by heaven and earth, their lives go smoothly, and they are often helped by noble people. No matter what crazy things they do, there will always be someone who will come out to endorse them and stand up for them. When it comes to people like them, no matter how despicable they are, if we don’t find the right way to deal with them, no one can stop them from rising!”
He looked at Tang Fei again, “As for a person like you, it’s just a stepping stone for a son of fortune. Everything about you, including your wealth, your power, your connections, and even your relatives, will become the nourishment of a son of fortune.”
“Son of fortune?” Tang Fei narrowed his eyes slightly, “Is there really such a person in this world?”
Feng Shao smiled and said, “To tell you the truth, I have seen a lot of sons of fortune. Ye Chen counts as one, and Chu Qing counts as one. There is also my father-in-law, the master of the Yunjian Pavilion, he can be regarded as one. I met one when I was in the Lower Domain, and I met another in Qingdi City after returning to the Upper Domain. Even now, there is another one in Wuling City, and there is another one on Tiangang Mountain…”
Speaking of this, he pointed to Tang Fei and Liu Shou, and said with a smile, “And you two should also be sons of fortune!”
Tang Fei and Liu Shou looked at each other in disbelief.
Liu Shou couldn’t help but ask, “Big brother Feng, according to what you said just now, shouldn’t a son of fortune have a smooth life? But why do I feel that my whole life has not been smooth?”
Feng Shao smiled lightly and said, “Because a son of fortune does not have a smooth life from the beginning.
Most sons of fortune will first go through a low period in life… Don’t understand? It’s just… It’s like the death of both parents, the destruction of the family, the disintegration of the sect, the tragic death of a lover, etc., such things will usher in a turning point in life and allow the counterattack and the rise in their life.”
He pointed at Tang Fei, “It’s just like when you were framed and lost your cultivation base…”
Pointing to Liu Shou again, “It’s just like when your lover almost lost her soul, and you yourself were kicked out of the sect…”
He concluded, “For you, this is a threshold. If you cross it, you will truly become a son of fortune.”
Liu Shou asked, “Then if it can’t be crossed?”
“If you can’t pass it? If you can’t pass it, then you will die prematurely. A son of fortune who died prematurely is not a son of fortune,” Feng Shao shrugged.
On the other hand, Tang Fei remembered what Palace Master Wangshu said to him when he was in Qiankun Palace. At that time, he was dubious about Palace Master Wangshu’s words, but now he heard similar words from Feng Shao’s mouth.
This made Tang Fei suddenly realize that there might still be many things he didn’t understand.
He looked at Feng Shao, suddenly a little curious why Feng Shao would talk about this at this time.
After thinking for a long time, he asked, “But why does this son of fortune exist? Why does the Heavenly Dao love them so much?”
When he said this, Tang Fei had already removed himself from the ranks of those sons of fortune. Because he felt that based on his current situation, he was really not a son of fortune.
He faintly felt that the reason why he became Chu Qing’s stepping stone might be because of the change in his luck in Qiankun Palace.
Feng Shao didn’t answer Tang Fei’s question, but shook his head and said, “I have a little guess about the answer, but I can’t say it. You know what the consequences will be if you rashly speak of the secrets of heaven. I can only tell you that the world is a chessboard, we are all in the chess game, and we are all chess pieces. And the chess player is Heavenly Dao.”
Tang Fei and Liu Shou couldn’t help but look at each other.
Liu Shou suddenly remembered something, and quickly asked, “What about the other chess player? Since it’s a chess game, there can’t be only one person playing?”
Feng Shao glanced at Liu Shou appreciatively, and said, “Brother Liu is really smart, and he directly asked the key point.”
Liu Shou’s eyes lit up, “So, is there really another chess player? Then who is this chess player?”
Feng Shao said meaningfully, “Who knows? Maybe the other chess player is also another Heavenly Dao?”
