Chapter 406: Chapter 406: Show Her a Man’s Strength

"That’s right!"

Ming Aoshuang candidly admitted, "Men who only know how to whine, yet dream of rights? It’s simply laughable."

Fang Zhou chuckled, "I wonder how your father would feel hearing you say this, Taoist Ming. Proud? Or wishing he had left you on the wall back then? Such a ’filial’ child, discriminating against men, not even sparing your father."

Upon hearing Fang Zhou mention Ming Aoshuang’s father, Xiao Yin thought to himself, "This is going to be bad!"

Sure enough, Ming Aoshuang’s expression changed slightly. Her eyes narrowed, and a cold aura began to emanate from her.

Fang Zhou stood fearlessly against her, thinking, in his own territory, why be afraid?

"Hey, calm down, don’t be impulsive,"

Xiao Yin grew nervous, fearing they might start fighting in public.

Ming Aoshuang was a long-time friend of Xiao Yin’s, and with them being equals, Xiao Yin knew Ming Aoshuang’s personality well—when she said something, she meant it, and wouldn’t listen to advice.

And Fang Zhou had left a good impression on Xiao Yin, just earlier he had offered benefits considerately, so Xiao Yin couldn’t possibly help his friend against him.

Stuck between the two, Xiao Yin could only think, "It’s so difficult for me."

Fang Zhou glanced at her, saying calmly, "Taoist Xiao, I am very calm right now. Just worried about the future of your Righteous Alliance. After all, such a ’filial’ child is not a good thing; you never know when she’ll be sent out to get rid of pestilence."

Even though Xiao Yin didn’t understand what Fang Zhou was saying, she understood he was mocking Ming Aoshuang.

Xiao Yin wished she could grab Fang Zhou and shout, "Stop provoking her! If she goes crazy, I won’t be able to stop her!"

Ming Aoshuang’s aura grew more intense, "The alliance doesn’t need your worry. If you want the alliance to recognize your association, you’ll have to get through me first." fr\(e)ew(e)b.(n)o (v)(e)l.com

Fang Zhou looked her straight in the eyes, "Then why don’t you tell me, how do I get through you?"

Ming Aoshuang replied coldly, "The alliance has a rule, if you want to become a member, the sect master or sect leader must reach the Innate Realm and pass the alliance’s assessment."

She looked at Fang Zhou with disdain, "If you can pass my assessment, I’ll recognize your so-called association. Otherwise, you should obediently dissolve it and not act under the name of the Righteous Alliance."

Xiao Yin was shocked, "Aoshuang, don’t mess around!"

Fang Zhou was also surprised, not because of Ming Aoshuang’s words, but because right after her harsh words, his system notification popped up.

[Main quest triggered—Change the societal trend of male inferiority and female superiority, achieve the great dream of gender equality]

[Maintain undefeated in Ming Aoshuang’s assessment, show her the strength of men]

[Difficulty: Hard]

[Reward: Masculinity*8, Purple Card*1]

[Failure: Reputation decreases by 10 points]

Fang Zhou was astonished because he hadn’t even completed the previous main quest yet, and now another one had appeared.

What shocked him even more was that this quest was at a hard difficulty level, meaning it would be very challenging to complete, and the task was to simply remain undefeated in Ming Aoshuang’s assessment.

Damn, how formidable must this woman be for the system to give out such a quest? Could she be another untouchable tigress? free\we\bnov(e)(l).com

Fang Zhou really wanted to ask the system if there’s another way for her to witness the strength of men.

Like in the bedroom.

Fang Zhou sized up Ming Aoshuang, seeing a face of absolute beauty but without any charm, likely someone who would lie still coldly in bed.

This ice sculpture turned out to be an untouchable woman, truly unfair.

Xiao Yin was still persuading Ming Aoshuang not to act recklessly, but Ming Aoshuang was unmoved.

Fang Zhou asked Xiao Yin, "Is there really such a rule?"

Xiao Yin quickly explained in a low voice, "There is, but it’s a rule for normal sects..."

In other words, connections and influence like Fang Zhou’s association wouldn’t typically need to adhere to such restrictions.

Fang Zhou asked again, "What if she insists on using this reason to block me?"

"Uh..."

Xiao Yin was stuck. If Ming Aoshuang insisted on highlighting this matter, then of course, they would have to adhere to the rules.

"That’s not a problem."

Fang Zhou looked at Ming Aoshuang and said, "I accept your assessment, but I have a demand. If I pass, you must not only recognize the association but also publicly express your support for the Male Right Association. If you can’t do it, then go back and have the alliance replace you."

Even knowing this ice sculpture was formidable, losing face wasn’t an option, and losing in combat could be fine, but losing in words was absolutely not; this was a principle Ling Xiaoyue had instilled and emphasized to Fang Zhou multiple times.

"Agreed!"

Ming Aoshuang agreed without hesitation, seemingly very confident in her own strength.

The assessment location was anywhere on the thousand-mile plain, just somewhere without people, no need for grand preparations.

Xiao Yin was the only witness. Before the assessment began, she quietly approached Fang Zhou, "Chairman Fang, you really shouldn’t accept the assessment. There’s still time to regret it, I can think of a way to take her away."

Fang Zhou asked curiously, "Why, is Ming Aoshuang that powerful?"

Xiao Yin nodded. Ming Aoshuang debuted ten years ago, held positions in the Righteous Alliance, executed multiple dangerous missions for the alliance, had exceptional combat ability, and was hailed as one of the leading figures of the younger generation.

It’s not that she looked down on Fang Zhou, but an ordinary Innate Realm would have no chance against Ming Aoshuang.

Fang Zhou chuckled, "Do I have to defeat her in the assessment?"

Xiao Yin shook her head, "Of course not, the alliance has a set evaluation criteria, if you surpass it, you pass. Chairman Fang, Aoshuang is really strong, don’t be impulsive."

Fang Zhou firmly replied, "I appreciate your kindness, but once a man gives his word, he can’t go back on it. Since I agreed, I can’t retreat now."

The reason he agreed, apart from disliking Ming Aoshuang, was that he felt such open challenges were easier to handle.

Otherwise, if she went back and caused trouble behind the scenes, leading the alliance to not recognize the association, Fang Zhou at the Heavenly Sword Sect couldn’t reach that far; it was better to solve the problem all at once here.

Of course, the system quest was another reason. Ming Aoshuang was now just a Purple Card in Fang Zhou’s eyes, and he couldn’t let her escape for nothing.

Seeing Fang Zhou’s insistence, Xiao Yin didn’t persuade him any further, thinking her attitude already repaid the shopping card Fang Zhou gave her.

After some thought, Xiao Yin said, "Chairman Fang, Aoshuang once, due to her father, she..."

Fang Zhou raised a hand, interrupting Xiao Yin, "Taoist Xiao, are you trying to say that because of her father, Aoshuang developed this prejudice against men, and I shouldn’t take it to heart?"

Xiao Yin was taken aback, "How did you know?"

"Humph, it’s just a standard character setup,"

Fang Zhou snorted coldly, "Regardless of what hardships she might have faced, that’s her own issue; there’s no reason to take it out on other men. That kind of mindset is a sickness, and it needs to be treated."

Xiao Yin was left speechless, though she thought who was treating whom was still uncertain; she just hoped this interesting Chairman Fang wouldn’t get beaten too badly.

After confirming the assessment details, they both left Taobao Mall, heading to the northwest of Iron Sword Mountain, picking a spot on the thousand-mile plain to begin.

After all, this land was all owned by Fang Zhou, so he wasn’t worried about anything getting damaged.
