Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy in the World of Immortal Cultivation
Chapter 374. Gatekeeper Grandpa Fang

Chapter 374: 374. Gatekeeper Grandpa Fang

Big... brother?

Li Yuanming blinked, a bit dumbfounded, for a moment thinking he had misheard.

What is with this person?

Coming to someone else’s house with a mask on is one thing, but trying to take advantage right away?

Don’t you see I’m way past my youth? And you still want to be my big brother?

The atmosphere turned a bit silent because of Fang Zhou’s words, with Luo Jingsong and the others looking at Fang Zhou in shock.

It’s one thing to fool us with a fake name, but now you’re using a fake name to take advantage of people?

Gou Cheng didn’t know what was going on with Fang Zhou, insisting on causing a stir with a fake name. Afraid of conflict, he had to bite the bullet and mediate: "Senior Li, please don’t misunderstand, Brother Fang’s name is Li Dage, like ’pigeon’, not ’brother’."

You’re kidding, who has a name like that!

You’re called Big Pigeon, and I might as well be called Daddy!

Li Yuanming was only dumbfounded for a moment, then quickly reacted and laughed heartily: "Mr. Fang’s name is really quite interesting."

As expected from an experienced senior, he instantly resolved the awkwardness.

The others also quickly joined in with forced laughter to create a cheerful atmosphere, lest they get kicked out and miss dinner.

After the introductions, Li Yuanming began reminiscing with the members of the Menhua group. Though they had never met before, they had collaborated many times, and talking about old times was quite enjoyable.

Fang Zhou sat quietly to the side without interrupting. They were all men; nothing much to interject with.

He observed Li Yuanming with his eyes; the introduction earlier was intentional, just to test this ’Big Gold Sponsor’ Li.

The other party’s reaction was very skilled; putting it positively, he was broad-minded, or negatively, deep and calculating. In any case, he wasn’t as emotionally driven as Zhuang Hongyu described him to be.

Of course, considering Zhuang Hongyu’s die-hard fan status, his words couldn’t be trusted either.

Li Yuanming clung to the members of the Menhua group during their reminiscing, without neglecting Fang Zhou. Occasionally, he even threw him a topic, but unfortunately, Fang Zhou hardly engaged, wasting Li Yuanming’s good intentions.

"Mr. Fang has high-level cultivation and is also Senior Brother Gou Cheng’s senior. You must hold a significant position in the Heavenly Sword Sect, right?"

Seemingly really afraid Fang Zhou would feel ignored, Li Yuanming once again threw a topic his way.

The members of the Menhua group knew each other well, all four were from prestigious backgrounds, especially Gou Cheng, who had the highest status, from the Heavenly Sword Sect, one of the five core sects of the Righteous Alliance.

Fang Zhou claimed to be Gou Cheng’s senior, so he must also be from the Heavenly Sword Sect.

But Li Yuanming was familiar with the Heavenly Sword Sect and wasn’t aware of such a male expert showing up.

Gou Cheng was about to explain when Fang Zhou waved it off, embarrassed: "You’re too kind, I’m just a doorman at the Heavenly Sword Sect."

Gou Cheng: (°ー°〃)

Luo Jingsong and the other two had some understanding of Fang Zhou’s half-truths, but hearing him claim to be a doorman, they still showed strange expressions.

"A doorman?"

Li Yuanming was quite surprised, then sighed and said: "As expected of the Heavenly Sword Sect, one of the five core sects of the Righteous Alliance, even their doormen are this skilled."

His tone was neutral, making it hard to tell if he was genuinely impressed or slightly mocking.

Fang Zhou chuckled lightly: "I don’t mind you guys laughing at me. I was pretty average at first, but the female disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect are very enthusiastic and helpful, always looking for me in the middle of the night to spar. Over time, my cultivation surged."

Gou Cheng: (°ー°〃)

Everyone:凸(艹皿艹)凸

Come on, you think we haven’t read Old Wet’s "Gatekeeper Qin Aunt"?

Even Li Yuanming almost couldn’t hold it in. How could this guy spout such nonsense, treating people like fools.

Seeing their expressions, Fang Zhou snickered: "I know you’re doubting my words, but little do you know, Old Wet himself lives within the Heavenly Sword Sect. We’re close friends. ’Gatekeeper Qin Aunt’ was actually based on my experiences. It was changed to Qin for confidentiality. Otherwise, it should have been titled "Gatekeeper Fang Uncle"! I had Old Wet write down my experiences to warn men worldwide to rise up against oppression and humiliation."

Gou Cheng: (°ー°〃)

Hearing Fang Zhou say this, everyone couldn’t help but have mixed feelings.

Though seemingly unbelievable, Fang Dage’s tone was too convincingly assertive.

Fang Zhou added: "If you don’t believe it, ask Gou Cheng. He’s honest and trustworthy, never lies, and can vouch for me!"

Everyone’s gaze instantly converged on Gou Cheng, strongly inquiring.

Gou Cheng: Σ(°△°|||)︴

The fact that Fang Zhou is Old Wet isn’t much of a secret at the Heavenly Sword Sect anymore, considering he’s the only man on Moon Viewing Peak.

But when did he become the sect’s doorman?

Facing the inquisitive crowd, Gou Cheng felt an impulse to loudly scold Fang Zhou’s lies, to wake his deceived fellow members, because the Heavenly Sword Sect didn’t even have a doorman.

He wanted to do it, but didn’t dare, knowing Fang Zhou’s petty nature and that offending him would have repercussions, maybe even face reprisals.

With a strong sense of guilt, Gou Cheng’s face flushed red as he reluctantly nodded and barely whispered "Mm."

At this moment, Gou Cheng felt like crying, being an honest and trustworthy person whom he took pride in, never imagined being forced by Fang Zhou to lie repeatedly, deceiving his friends.

He’s fallen, unclean!

Seeing Gou Cheng’s nod, everyone was shocked, thinking he was indeed vouching for Fang Zhou.

As for his blushing face, it might be due to embarrassment. After all, the female disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect ganging up on a male doorman is somewhat damaging to the sect’s reputation.

Suddenly, everyone’s gaze towards Fang Zhou was filled with admiration and sympathy. No wonder he held certain male-centric beliefs, being constantly tormented and humiliated by women nightly would naturally spark the desire to change the world.

It was admirable that despite such ordeals, he could still face life bravely, documenting his painful experiences for Old Wet to write, warning others of what he endured.

Such indomitable spirit was indeed awe-inspiring.

The little group, amidst admiration, began chattering, eagerly inquiring about the story between Fang Zhou and Old Wet.

Especially Old Wet—he’s not only a fan favorite within the Cultivation World but also an idol of countless male cultivators.

Rarely can a man attain such prominence in the Cultivation World, adored by many regardless of gender, purely attracting fans through the charm of his works.

"Of course, no problem. You don’t know, Old Wet was once a genius, but later, due to certain reasons, became a waste, and his fiancée even came to break off the engagement..."

Fang Zhou didn’t refuse, narrating the stories between him and Old Wet, leaving the little group entranced, with occasional exclamations of surprise.

Only Gou Cheng sat with an awkward face, being the only one knowing the truth, yet unable to remind everyone.

But honestly, Fang Zhou’s tale was quite captivating, filled with twists and climaxes, thoroughly engaging.

Gradually, even Gou Cheng found himself absorbed into Fang Zhou’s story.

No one knew how much time had passed until sunset when Li Yuanming suddenly snapped back to reality, cold sweat appearing on his forehead.

What the heck, this was supposed to be the first meeting in three years between him and the members of the Menhua group, such a crucial moment, how did it turn into a storytelling session without anyone realizing!
