Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy in the World of Immortal Cultivation Chapter 622: I Was Forced

Fang Zhou’s counterasure was to pin the bla on the Xuanji Sect, a group known for taking the fall professionally.

Although the Xuanji Sect had taken the bla for Fang Zhou many tis, they had also been blad nurous tis.

But he promised, this would be the last ti.

Under Xiao Yan’s distrustful gaze, Fang Zhou deliberated on his words before slowly saying, "When I broke off the engagent with you, it was entirely forced. It was the Xuanji Sect who demanded that I do so."

Xiao Yan sneered, "I’ve heard of people begging to be a master, but I’ve never heard of soone begging to be a disciple. If you’re going to lie, at least co up with a better reason."

She turned to Han Li and said, "Sister, this person is just spouting nonsense. Do you still believe him?"

Han Li replied helplessly, "At least let him finish."

Xiao Yan snorted coldly.

Fang Zhou had long anticipated Xiao Yan’s reaction, and he calmly said, "You’re right, the one seeking sothing is inevitably in a weaker position. Seeking a master is to gain knowledge in cultivation, whereas cultivators generally have more options and don’t need to beg to take on disciples."

Xiao Yan sneered again, "Are you saying that people from the Xuanji Sect need you so much that they begged you to beco a disciple?"

Fang Zhou smiled slightly, "You’re mistaken. They demanded I beco a disciple, not begged. A simple difference of a word, worlds apart."

This sowhat convoluted explanation left Xiao Yan montarily stunned, "What do you an?"

Inwardly, Fang Zhou thought to himself, nailed it.

When it cos to explaining, it’s not about whether they believe you, but whether they actually listen and take in your words.

As long as she listens, Fang Zhou can make her believe.

"At first, I was also confused. Why would the prestigious Xuanji Sect insist on taking as a disciple? It wasn’t until later that I realized it wasn’t they were after, but my body."

Fang Zhou first posed a question, then provided an answer, leaving so suspense. Like storytelling, it instantly captured the attention of both Xiao Yan and Han Li.

Han Li only knew that Xiao Yan’s fiancé "abandoned" her to enter the Xuanji Sect, but she didn’t know the details.

Upon hearing that the Xuanji Sect coveted Fang Zhou’s body, she was imdiately anxious, "Did they succeed?"

Both Fang Zhou and Xiao Yan turned to Han Li; Fang Zhou whispered, "If soone’s mind is twisted, everything they see will be twisted. I’m still pure and untouched, don’t say such things."

This statent was both a jab at Han Li and a way to console Xiao Yan.

Han Li’s cheeks flushed slightly, while Xiao Yan coldly snorted, "Nonsense, why would a sect as large as the Xuanji Sect with countless disciples covet your body?"

In other words, with their vast resources, why would they desire you?

Fang Zhou chuckled, "It seems you haven’t concerned yourself with major affairs in the cultivation world for a long ti; you’re behind the tis."

He directly pulled out a well-preserved newspaper from his gourd and opened it in front of Xiao Yan, "Take a good look at what kind of reality the so-called prestigious Xuanji Sect is."

This newspaper was the Wangyue Daily that Fang Zhou founded. Later, when he transferred it to the Heavenly Sword Sect, Fang Zhou kept a complete set from the first to the last issue as a nto.

At this mont, he pulled out one of the earliest issues that threw mud on the Xuanji Sect... Ahem, that revealed the Xuanji Sect’s sinister truths.

Xiao Yan and Han Li both widened their eyes as they looked over, seeing reports of the Xuanji Sect’s prevailing unfavorable trend of favoring won over n, and their vile practices of locking up male disciples to provide entertainnt for the sect’s elders and to serve as dual cultivation furnaces.

After reading, Han Li took a sharp breath, "Could this newspaper be the legendary Prophetic Treasure Book that predicted the Xuanji Sect’s calamity?"

Because the Wangyue Daily accurately "predicted" the Xuanji Sect being attacked by the True Mother God Sect, the rumors escalated, eventually claiming the newspaper as a Prophetic Treasure Book. Many cultivators offered large sums for it, but unfortunately, the Wangyue Daily had very limited circulation in the market.

Fang Zhou nodded, "That’s right, this newspaper, so its authority is undeniable."

Xiao Yan was silent, knowing about the Xuanji Sect being attacked by the True Mother God Sect. She had even gloated over it for a while back then.

Of course, she had heard of the Prophetic Treasure Book, but just couldn’t get her hands on it, so she was unclear on the details.

Now with Fang Zhou producing the newspaper, detailing the Xuanji Sect’s vile practices, Xiao Yan had no rebuttal.

But she was quick-witted, imdiately saying, "Even if the Xuanji Sect is a notorious ss, it only proves you brought it on yourself."

The implication being, you divorced and chose such a vile sect, bringing this on yourself.

Fang Zhou put away the newspaper and continued to explain, "I’ve told you, I was required by the Xuanji Sect to beco their disciple. At the ti, I was unwilling, because I already had an engagent with you and held no interest in cultivation. I wanted to quietly be a househusband. But the Xuanji Sect demanded I break off the engagent and hinted that they were adamant about having . If I refused, they would harm the Xiao and Fang families."

At this point, Fang Zhou sighed deeply, "I admit I was scared; I feared they would indeed bring misfortune upon both our families, and feared they would harm . At that ti, I was powerless, with no courage to resist."

Xiao Yan and Han Li were both in the Innate Realm. With their insight, they could easily discern if soone was acting.

But Fang Zhou was in the Golden Core Realm, his physical strength overwhelmingly superior to theirs, his control exquisite, and even his spiritual power was overwhelming.

With such overwhelming attributes, it would be a miracle if these two sisters could see through his act.

They only felt Fang Zhou was revealing true emotions, with no trace of deceit.

Han Li couldn’t help but gently hug Fang Zhou, comforting him, "It’s not your fault, you can’t be blad for this."

Xiao Yan gritted her teeth, "They demanded you break up the engagent, but why did you have to do it publicly, bringing disgrace to the Xiao Family?"

Fang Zhou looked straight into Xiao Yan’s eyes, "That’s because the Xuanji Sect wanted to turn the Xiao and Fang families against each other, cutting off my retreat and my illusions."

Xiao Yan wanted to retort, but Fang Zhou interrupted her and continued, "Think for yourself, when I ca to your house to break off the engagent, did I say a single word? If I truly intended to bring sha upon your Xiao family, wouldn’t my attitude have been arrogant? Think back, what was my attitude then?"

Prompted by Fang Zhou, Xiao Yan instinctively recalled that day, suddenly realizing with shock that Fang Zhou indeed hadn’t spoken a word upon entering the Xiao family; it was all Li Ruyu from the Xuanji Sect who spoke for him.

After advancing to the Innate Realm, Xiao Yan’s mory beca extrely sharp, let alone the event being a profound humiliation, sothing she would rember clearly for a lifeti.

At this mont, recalling it, she could even clearly rember Fang Zhou’s expression at that ti.

It was a face of shock, accompanied by an uneasy and panicked gaze.
