This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 95: Am I Really That Amazing?

Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Am I Really That Amazing?

"It’s been a long time, young Liang." Fang Zhi said with a smile, looking at Liang Yi and finding Chen Hua’s disciple more and more agreeable.

"Master Fang, I’m honored." Liang Yi bowed as a gesture of respect. Whatever, it’s not like he wanted to actively listen to these matters.

"Gejing, don’t you come over here and thank young Liang? It was from him that I found the inspiration for your treatment!" Fang Zhi looked at Yu Gejing and explained briefly.

Yu Gejing and He Zhiqing exchanged confused glances, then both looked toward Liang Yi in astonishment, marveling at such an incredible talent beyond his stunning appearance! They had indeed been blind before!

"Hold on, wait a moment. Master Fang, could you please explain first? Otherwise, I really can’t accept this gratitude." Liang Yi saw that both He Zhiqing and Yu Gejing looked ready to come over after hearing what Fang Zhi said, so he quickly waved them off and turned to ask Fang Zhi.

"Well, there’s no real need to hide anything. Chen Hua knows about it too." After some hesitation, Fang Zhi felt that although few knew the details, it would not hurt to tell Liang Yi due to his special identity.

"You two should go back first, I’ll talk with Liang Yi alone for a bit. I’ll explain the details to you later," Fang Zhi told his daughter and his beloved disciple to leave first, as the underlying reasons for this matter were likely to upset his daughter.

"Then, your disciple will take her leave now." He Zhiqing cast an admiring glance at Liang Yi before being pulled away by Yu Gejing.

Once the two had gradually departed and only Liang Yi and Fang Zhi were left beside the bamboo grove, Fang Zhi, with his back to Liang Yi, slowly began to speak:

"Do you know why although Gejing is my daughter, she carries the surname Yu?"

"I’m not aware, sir." Liang Yi had honestly no clue. It wasn’t the business of an outsider to concern themselves with how a family names their child.

"The surname Yu is her maternal surname, and Gejing’s mother died of difficult childbirth."

Because Fang Zhi’s back was turned, Liang Yi couldn’t see his expression upon hearing this news and wonder whether it was filled with sorrow or a calm after prolonged grief.

"My condolences, Master Fang." Liang Yi wasn’t sure how to comfort him, presuming Fang Zhi must have been devastated at the time.

"Actually, you do have a master’s wife, you know?"

"Ah??"

This sudden revelation by Fang Zhi took Liang Yi completely by surprise.

A master’s wife? The one he’s thinking about? Why has the master never mentioned this?

"This is something that Chen Hua should have told you himself, but since Gejing’s mother is also related to this, I’ll tell you all about it."

"After all, that young Chen Hua can’t do anything to me now, huh."

Fang Zhi chuckled in a low voice. Yet for some reason, from those words Liang Yi perceived a sense of obedience.

"Over twenty years ago, my wife Yu Yanming was best friends with your master’s wife. They had planned to travel together, but your master’s wife was suddenly taken away by your master to visit a secret realm, leaving only my wife and your master’s wife’s sister."

"At that time, Yanming was already pregnant, but they could not have imagined being ambushed by a group of mysterious assailants during their trip. By the time I arrived, my wife was gravely injured and your master’s wife’s sister had been killed."

"The leader of those mysterious assailants practiced a sinister cultivation technique. Fortunately, Yanming had an amulet that I had personally made for her, which saved her life. However, her injuries were too severe, and she passed away after giving birth to Gejing, leaving Gejing with an innate deficiency and a greatly shortened lifespan."

Fang Zhi spoke calmly, simply outlining the sequence of events.

Liang Yi listened silently, feeling overwhelmed by the amount of information the story contained.

He had a master’s wife, then why is she not present? His master’s wife’s sister was dead, and the Sect Master’s wife, along with a brazen group of mysterious assailants.

Yu Shijie’s surname being Yu naturally signified Fang Zhi’s nostalgia for his deceased wife, but the story of the master’s wife and her sister remained unclear.

"So Sect Master Fang, where are you getting this inspiration from me? I only met Sister Yu a few days ago," Liang Yi said with a puzzled look, wondering what sort of inspiration Fang Zhi could draw from him.

"It’s about the death tribulation you survived, which is the alteration of fate you accomplished," Fang Zhi explained.

"I had this idea when I was calculating your fate. Yu Gejing’s fate was similar to yours before, with a death tribulation occurring at a specific time. The difference is that your death tribulation came from external forces, while Yu Gejing’s comes from within."

"Your external death tribulation has already been resolved through your extraordinary efforts to defy fate. As for Yu Gejing’s internal death tribulation, I will act as an external force to assist him. What I need to do is to alter Yu Gejing’s fate to give the Medicine King more time to develop Spirit Pills."

Liang Yi suddenly understood; this was what Fang Zhi was referring to.

"However, Sect Master Fang, didn’t you say before that if you could alter fate yourself, wouldn’t that be..." Liang Yi hesitated, realizing that no matter how impressive altering fate sounded, it would be pointless without the requisite cultivation level.

"Don’t worry about that, the breakthrough won’t take much longer," Fang Zhi said with a confident smile. He might not be as freakish as Chen Hua, but once connected to the Immortal Path, heavenly tribulations would no longer pose a problem.

Liang Yi, unclear about what Fang Zhi meant by ’not much longer’, just assumed it was all good if the big shot was confident.

Liang Yi then understood why in his past life he had never heard Zhiqing mention a Daoist partner; it didn’t seem like the two of them would be the types to hesitate over several iterations, and in the later stages, Yu Gejing didn’t appear before the players either.

Is this the revelation of all mysteries? The butterfly effect?

Liang Yi’s expression turned somewhat dazed, experiencing for the first time the profound impact of changing someone else’s fate, a mix of emotions swirling within him.

If he hadn’t come here, wouldn’t Sister Yu be heading towards the predicted outcome of her fate? And wouldn’t his big brother be destined to die alone?

"Strange, your current state doesn’t resemble that of the Taoist Sect but rather fits with our Complete Heaven Sect’s cultivation conception. Tch, that damn Chen Hua is so lucky," Fang Zhi muttered with explicit curses.

Liang Yi pretended not to hear; he was just an emotionless cool guy.

"I’ve always thought that Yu Gejing didn’t have long to live and didn’t want Zhiqing to fall into the pain of having and then losing again. So I didn’t want their relationship to deepen. But surprisingly, their bond grew stronger instead. Fortunately, there’s been a change of fortune."

"So, may I ask you for a favor?"

Liang Yi originally thought that with Zhiqing’s straightforward nature, nothing would count unless he said it himself. However, he was taken aback by the last sentence. Why would a high-Level figure like Fang Zhi need his help?

"I hope that when I take action to alter Yu Gejing’s fate one day in the future, you can be present. First, you are the only one I have seen who has gone from death back to life and succeeded in altering fate without relying on any external forces - the difficulty of which we cannot comprehend. Second, your own good fortune is indeed profound, and I wish to borrow some of it," Fang Zhi stated.

Liang Yi remained calm as if altering fate were a trivial matter, yet to Fang Zhi, this was an impressive display of composure and promise. To achieve what countless others over the years could not, this feat seemed insignificant in the hands of this youth. Surely, he was destined for greatness!

However, Liang Yi was simply stunned. He had no idea — was altering fate supposed to be difficult? What had he even done? Wasn’t it just casually killing a Wind Cloud Leopard and taking out a black-robed man from the Devouring Spirit Sect?

He didn’t want any misunderstandings of being some peerless genius; he just wanted to develop peacefully without anyone bothering him. Thus, he shared the truth with Fang Zhi, hoping for some clarity.

"Here lies your misconception. What you think is simple is actually as difficult as reaching the heavens for others! If you put an ordinary person and a Wind Cloud Leopard together, how many can kill the leopard without any weapons?"

"And the same goes for you killing the black-robed man. For an ordinary person to slay a Third Realm Cultivator, it’s unheard of! It’s a miracle! When we return to the sect, I will definitely reprimand that bunch of brats in front of me! If they could be half as good as you, I’d be wholly satisfied," Fang Zhi grew more impassioned as he spoke, his admiration for Liang Yi clearly visible. Such a rare talent in the hands of Chen Hua was truly a waste. One day, he’d snatch him away!

"····"

Alright, whatever you say. Unexpectedly, not only was the misunderstanding not cleared up, but it seemed another reason for resentment had just been added. What kind of reputation was this?

"Ding! Player has triggered the mission[Using the Luck of Kings Correctly]!"
