Chapter 3399: My Fist Isn’t Big Enough, I Can Only Accept My Fate

Many things cannot be understood until one is in that position.

When many of the Cold Water Holy Land’s elders were still ordinary disciples, they may have considered friendships and relationships.

When young, people are more likely to act on impulse and do rash things.

But once they become elders and have lived for hundreds of thousands of years, with all their former peers gone, what they consider begins to change.

Juniors are merely juniors. They care more about gains and losses, will calculate and compare, and are more concerned with the interests of the entire sect and holy land.

So they lose some of their human touch, putting sect interests first. The more selfish ones will even consider personal interests.

When disciples are abandoned, they become tools to be used as much as possible.

As for whether the disciple’s final treatment is fair, it’s actually not within the consideration of those elders.

This is human nature, and reality. It’s very difficult to teach, as Gu Hanyu said – only when one reaches that position can they understand.

Lin Moyu looked at the ashen-faced Gu Hanjing, “Actually, you don’t need to think too much. There’s a universal rule in this world, and that’s the fist.”

“As long as your fist is big enough and hard enough, you don’t need to care about anything or weigh anything. No one will dare to go against your will.”

Lin Moyu’s words were easy to understand. Gu Hanjing completely understood and gritted her teeth, “Then I’ll cultivate to the highest realm and make everyone who dares to bully me pay the price!”

Lin Moyu chuckled, not knowing what kind of days awaited that elder who had proposed using Gu Hanjing as a waste resource.

Having provoked such a young mistress, their days probably wouldn’t be too good. They could only pray for themselves.

Gu Hanyu said, “We’ll talk about these things later. Now Jing’er needs to go personally refuse Wu Xingguang and take back Ice Ancestor’s token.”

Gu Hanjing nodded vigorously, “I want to see which fellow is so bold as to have designs on this young lady.”

Gu Hanyu teleported everyone to the main hall and ordered someone to call Wu Xingguang over.

A moment later, Wu Xingguang arrived at the hall with his two seventh-level elders. Seeing Gu Hanjing sitting beside Gu Hanyu, Wu Xingguang’s heart sank, and he thought to himself, “This is bad.”

He never imagined his information could be wrong, that Gu Hanjing would be safe and sound.

Gu Hanyu coughed lightly, her clear voice ringing out, “Young Master Wu, you may speak now.”

At this point, Wu Xingguang had already drawn his bow and couldn’t not shoot. Suppressing the unease in his heart, he gathered his courage and said, “Fairy Jing, I am Wu Xingguang of the Wu family. I’ve come specially to propose marriage to you…”

Before he could finish, Gu Hanjing glared at him, “Get lost! What are you to dare propose to this young lady?”

Gu Hanjing was currently holding back anger, her temper very bad.

Wu Xingguang couldn’t even finish the second half of his sentence before being shut down. His face changed dramatically, “Fairy Jing, if you have any requests, feel free to make them. This young master can satisfy them all.”

Gu Hanjing suddenly smiled, “Alright then. Cripple your own cultivation right now. If you’re willing to cripple your cultivation, this young lady doesn’t mind taking a male concubine and keeping you by her side.”

Wu Xingguang’s face immediately turned extremely ugly. He couldn’t possibly meet Gu Hanjing’s demand.

Crippling his cultivation at his age was equivalent to suicide.

Wu Xingguang’s eyes rolled, and he took a deep breath, “Since Fairy Jing is adamant about not marrying this young master, I won’t force the issue. I’ll take my leave then.”

As he said this, he turned to leave. But just as he turned, he heard Gu Hanyu’s voice, “Young Master Wu may leave, but please leave Ice Ancestor’s token as agreed.”

Wu Xingguang clearly didn’t want to hand over Ice Ancestor’s token. He argued forcefully, “Just now Fairy Jing didn’t personally refuse. It’s just that this young master couldn’t meet Fairy Jing’s demands and voluntarily withdrew. So there’s no need to return Ice Ancestor’s token.”

Lin Moyu suddenly chuckled, “If you don’t want to hand it over, just say so. Why find such a lame excuse? But do you think you can leave the Cold Water Holy Land without handing over the token?”

The two seventh-level elders who came with Wu Xingguang simultaneously took half a step forward, shielding Wu Xingguang behind them.

Wu Xingguang said in a low voice, “Do you want to forcibly take it? Aren’t you afraid of offending my Wu family?”

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out, “No need for such trouble. Today this ancestor is taking back this token. Another day, this ancestor will personally visit the Wu family to seek an explanation!”

An immense power suddenly descended, like countless mountains falling on Wu Xingguang and the other two. All three grunted and couldn’t move.

The two seventh-level elders’ faces changed dramatically. They felt how strong this power was, far beyond what they could resist.

They knew Ice Ancestor had made her move. Facing the ninth-level Dao Venerable Ice Ancestor, the two of them had absolutely no power to resist.

Ice Ancestor’s token flew out from Wu Xingguang’s bosom, shattering into powder in front of him with a bang.

Then the heavy pressure disappeared. Wu Xingguang felt like he’d been granted amnesty, gasping for breath.

Looking at the powder floating in the air, Wu Xingguang wanted to say something more, but was stopped by the two seventh-level elders.

The two transmitted to Wu Xingguang, “Let’s leave first. This is the Cold Water Holy Land. Don’t court death!”

Wu Xingguang took a deep breath and said loudly, “Since that’s the case, this young master will report truthfully to the family. We respectfully await Ice Ancestor’s visit!”

“See the guests out!” Gu Hanyu didn’t stand on ceremony, directly ordering someone to escort Wu Xingguang and the others out.

Although the Cold Water Holy Land and the Wu family hadn’t completely fallen out, their relationship could now be considered hostile.

But the Cold Water Holy Land wasn’t afraid. No matter how long the Wu family’s reach, it couldn’t extend here.

The Cold Water Holy Land had always been domineering in its attitude towards outsiders.

Gu Hanyu said, “Alright, now let’s deal with our internal affairs. Jing’er, come with me. There are some things I need to explain to you clearly.”

To hand over the position of Holy Lord to Gu Hanjing, many things needed to be explained clearly. This couldn’t be done in a short time and would probably take a while.

Gu Hanjing was still making a last struggle, “Sister, can’t we reconsider?”

Gu Hanyu chuckled, “What do you think?”

As she spoke, she glanced at Lin Moyu. Gu Hanjing immediately understood her sister’s meaning.

She hung her head, “Alright, my fist isn’t as big as sister’s, and definitely not as big as brother-in-law’s. I can only accept my fate.”

Gu Hanyu lightly tapped her head, “You learn fast. Weren’t you quite forceful with Wu Xingguang just now? Be like that when you become Holy Lord in the future. With Ice Ancestor supporting you from behind, what’s there to be afraid of?”

Gu Hanyu took Gu Hanjing away to explain the Holy Lord matters. Lin Moyu was teleported back to Gu Hanyu’s residence.

Lin Moyu looked around the not-so-large courtyard. It was very clean, with everything it should have, but lacking vitality.

The entire courtyard was too clean, with no plants except for cold jade stones.

Lin Moyu shook his head slightly, “So this is how the Holy Lord of the mighty Cold Water Holy Land lives.”

Little Mei smiled and said, “What does Teacher think it should be like?”

Lin Moyu said, “You can see a person from their courtyard. It seems Hanyu has been quite busy usually.”

He flicked his finger, and a strand of life force flew out. Instantly, the courtyard was filled with vitality.

Under the cold ice, flowers and grass grew, sprouting from the earth like a miracle.

Then he waved his hand, and the broken stones quickly became smooth.

In the blink of an eye, the originally bare courtyard now had large patches of greenery, appearing full of life.

Lin Moyu said, “This looks better. Who knows how long they’ll take. Little Mei, cultivate for a while. Teacher also needs to cultivate for a bit.”
