Chapter 363: 363. On How Rumors Are Generated

Two days later, Gou Cheng finally emerged from the illusion realm.

In the outside world, two days had passed, while he spent a full two hundred days in the illusion, rigorously training in the Ripple Divine Skill.

During this time, Fang Zhou entered a few times to guide Gou Cheng through some difficulties he encountered during his cultivation, then quickly slipped away; a big man running naked on the sea was really eye-searing.

The Ripple Divine Skill is also selective; for Qiao Sen, it’s a perfect match, perfectly stimulating her talents, and even causing a drastic change in her personality.

For Gou Cheng, the effect was mediocre, but he made up for it with diligence, greatly enhancing his combat strength.

When Gou Cheng emerged from the illusion, his demeanor had changed significantly; his smile remained warm and confident, but now there was a hint of sharpness in his gaze.

Although he was now fully dressed, Fang Zhou, having seen him running naked in the illusion last time, in some sense, felt he had fulfilled a dream.

It seems that the Ripple Divine Skill can indeed make an impression on both a person’s personality and physique, which is truly terrifying.

Fang Zhou asked Gou Cheng, “How do you feel?”

Gou Cheng smiled and nodded: “I feel better than ever!”

He clenched his fist: “I think I can now punch through anything.”

Hey, hey, hey, you use a sword, not your fists for a living.

Also, Gou Cheng’s strength is purely mental; physically, only two days have passed in reality, so there hasn’t been any change. He must start from scratch like Fang Zhou did.

That’s why Fang Zhou said he fulfilled his dream in a certain sense.

Mentally, he’s already a muscle-bound hunk, but physically, there’s no change.

With three days left until the Men’s Flower mission, Gou Cheng plans to start from scratch again in those three days.

During his cultivation, Fang Zhou secretly organized a male rights group, even pulling Wang Xiuzhu in to make up numbers.

Unfortunately, the system still didn’t recognize the task as complete, deeming the organization he founded not a genuine male rights group.

Fang Zhou was puzzled; what exactly qualifies as a system-recognized male rights organization?

Actually, he had an inkling, but wasn’t sure.

Besides, during this time, Fang Zhou also had Wei Yuanling help gather intelligence from the Cultivation World about the mysterious organization “Men’s Flower”.

Wei Yuanling, in charge of the Heavenly Sword Daily, naturally had access to the information work of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and in just a day, brought back intelligence on the Men’s Flower for Fang Zhou.

After reading the intelligence, Fang Zhou couldn’t help but sneer.

As expected.

Men’s Flower is notorious in the Cultivation World, already treated like the Demon Sect and cults, as an underworld element.

…

Three days quickly passed, and finally, it was the day of the Men’s Flower operation, and Fang Zhou, as a new member, had to participate.

He agreed outwardly but absolutely refused to acknowledge himself as a “Men’s Flower” member, for truly joining would be a lifelong stain.

This time, the reason he was going was mainly to prevent these dream-chasing youths from getting in too deep; at a critical moment, he wouldn’t mind lending a hand.

That day, Gou Cheng asked his master for leave early. Throughout the year, apart from secluded cultivation, he always asked for leave to go out, and now Fang Zhou knew he was out and about with the Men’s Flower doing chivalrous deeds.

Ordinary disciples naturally didn’t have the privilege of frequent leaves, but Gou Cheng, as a key core disciple, had this qualification.

Just like Xuan Ling often went down the mountain to play, often disappearing for ten days or half a month, and no one could control her, while ordinary disciples had to apply for permission just to go down the mountain.

As for Fang Zhou, it was simpler; after Ling Xiaoyue fled to avoid trouble, he was the one in charge at Moon Viewing Peak, doing whatever he pleased!

The two didn’t choose to go out together, because after Gou Cheng went to Moon Viewing Peak to find Fang Zhou five days ago, a rumor appeared at the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Originally, due to rumors that Gou Cheng had a crush on a certain True Disciple, many in the Heavenly Sword Sect believed Fang Zhou and Gou Cheng were love rivals.

However, this new rumor stated that Yu Qing and Gou Cheng were actually the love rivals, both siblings falling for Fang Zhou, and Gou Cheng didn’t dare express his feelings to Fang Zhou because of his gender.

That day, Gou Cheng finally couldn’t endure the longing and ran to Moon Viewing Peak to confess, even stripping naked in front of Fang Zhou, trying to seduce him.

The rumor was so vivid as if it had been witnessed firsthand, causing Yu Qing to abandon her work on the Spell Encyclopedia and come to Fang Zhou for the truth.

Logically, rumors should stop at the wise, and Yu Qing was clearly wise, unlikely to believe such exaggerated and brainless rumors.

But she did, which only showed that a woman in love is brainless!

After Fang Zhou found out, he felt sick to his stomach, like swallowing a mouthful of poop, and had Wei Yuanling investigate, but they couldn’t find the source of the rumors.

So now Fang Zhou and Gou Cheng dared not appear in public together and didn’t even privately contact each other personally.

After sneaking out of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Fang Zhou couldn’t help but complain to Gou Cheng, “It’s all your fault for running to Moon Viewing Peak for no reason, causing rumors to fly everywhere. Now we have to sneak out like thieves.”

Gou Cheng had a face full of exasperation; if it weren’t for you insisting I strip, it wouldn’t have turned out this way.

However, he now held great respect for Fang Zhou and didn’t dare retort, only silently accepting the blame.

After leaving the Heavenly Sword Sect, the two immediately used Sword Flight, heading towards Qi Country.

Due to its small numbers, Men’s Flower’s activities were limited to the borders of Qi Country and Chu Kingdom.

This time, Men’s Flower’s target was a female cultivator within Qi Country.

This female cultivator was very powerful, rallying a group of rogue cultivators to set up a base in the peaceful city of Qi Country, where local government officials dared not intervene, practically becoming a local tyrant.

According to information from the major benefactor Senior Li, this female cultivator practiced Dual Cultivation Skills, requiring interactions with men to improve her cultivation, so she didn’t hide away in deep mountains or forests.

Relying on her powerful abilities, she wreaked havoc on local men, with hundreds of virgins drained to death by her yearly, and sometimes even passing male rogue cultivators weren’t spared.

After reading the material, Gou Cheng was indignant, vowing to avenge his fellow men and eliminate this female demon.

Fang Zhou had no such feelings since his mindset hadn’t changed; she hadn’t bothered him, so he felt no anger.

Nonetheless, standing from a male perspective, it was necessary to resolutely combat such a female demon who destroyed the local ecosystem and gender ratio.

The speed of Sword Flight was fast, and as they traveled at full speed, they left Chu Kingdom and entered Qi Country in less than half a day.

In this era, there were no concepts of airspace rights, so they could fly freely in the air without anyone’s interference.

By the afternoon, Fang Zhou and Gou Cheng had arrived in Yangzhou, Qi Country, and Gou Cheng took out a thousand-mile mirror from his pocket to contact his companions.

“Huh, why is it broken?”

Gou Cheng tapped the thousand-mile mirror in confusion.
