Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor

Pu Fazheng merely kept his head down, not speaking.

"Alas, it is also my responsibility as a father. Due to Fazheng's mother passing away from a difficult childbirth, I always feel that I owe my child. Every time I see him, I am reminded of the deep love I had with my late wife."

Pu Li sighed heavily, filled with self-reproach.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no other choice but to ask Chu Feng for help, he wouldn't have aired these family matters.

"Could it be that the Sect Master usually dotes greatly on Brother Fazheng? I see Brother Fazheng is upright and principled in his actions, which shows he has great familial upbringing." Chu Feng couldn't help but interject.

"I worry about my son not learning well, failing my late wife, and have a desperate hope for him to succeed, so I discipline him strictly. This has caused him to be introverted, reserved, and disinclined to interact with others. Thus, despite his age, he has yet to find a girl he admires."

Pu Li truly does not play by the rules, opting to discipline his son strictly instead of spoiling him.

No wonder Pu Fazheng seems somewhat wooden to others.

Too much of anything is not good.

Whether excessively doting or too strict, neither is good for the child.

A trace of content smile appeared on Pu Li's face "Speaking of which, it's also fate. My son hasn't found a girl he fancied in the Dan State Branch. Yet, upon entering the Main Pulse, he ended up falling for a girl from the Outer Sect."

"Dad, Xiao Min and I aren't romantically involved, we've just become good friends!" Pu Fazheng, still with his head down, retorted.

"You blockhead, if that young lady wasn't fond of you, would she reject Liu Lang's courtship? And here you are, hesitating and too embarrassed to admit it. If you dare say again that you're just friends with that Xiao Min, then I'm washing my hands off this matter. Let her marry Liu Lang then."

Pu Li glared fiercely at his son.

In front of so many people, he did not leave Pu Fazheng any dignity. In private, his discipline of Pu Fazheng must be even stricter.

Chu Feng and the others couldn't help but reveal smiles, finding this father and son duo truly amusing.

Especially the foolish Pu Fazheng.

"Sect Master, let's talk business first! There's always time to discipline your son at home." Chu Feng's time is extremely precious, and he has no time to listen to Pu Fazheng's gossip here.

"Then, let me cut to the chase! My son and that girl called Xiao Min are in love, but Xiao Min's parents are very mercenary. They think Liu Lang has a brighter future. They desperately want Xiao Min to marry Liu Lang."

"A few days ago, Fazheng caught Liu Lang pestering Xiao Min and was so upset that he fought with Liu Lang on the spot, ending up injuring Liu Lang. Not only is Liu Lang's family rich and influential, but his father also holds office in the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country. Moreover, he has used money to make connections within the sect, including some of the most formidable Heavenly Prides, the most formidable of whom is Yan Qing who ranks first on the Earth Rankings!"

Parents generally hope to marry their daughters to a man with a promising future.

In the eyes of Xiao Min's parents, Liu Lang is more promising and superior to Pu Fazheng, and comes from a much better family background. Their choice to marry their daughter to Liu Lang is not wrong in itself.

Yan Qing's fame is also something Chu Feng has heard of.

It is said that he does not practice Heaven and Earth Sword Skill, but rather chanced upon a set of Emperor Yan Swordsmanship in a cave. It's said to be a swordsmanship created by Emperor Yan during the Yanhuang Period.

Whether that is true or not, is unknown.

But Yan Qing's reputation is immense in the Outer Sect and even those in the Inner Sect are aware of Yan Qing's fame.

This peerless devil, Chu Feng, actually serves as Liu Lang's backbone.

No wonder Pu Li feels so nervous.

"Liu Lang can't beat Brother Dharma, which shows he's not that outstanding! How could Xiao Min's parents be so fond of him? Just because Liu Lang's family is wealthy?"

Chu Feng felt very puzzled.

If that's really the case, Xiao Min's parents are rather superficial.

"Originally... I couldn't beat Liu Lang, I relied on a sneak attack and also Xiao Min's help at that time. That's how I managed to strike Liu Lang with a sword. Liu Lang is currently at the One-star Sword God Cultivation level, and he has comprehended the First Level of Heaven and Earth Sword Skill. In the future, he should have a great chance to become an Inner Sect Disciple."

Pu Fazheng said with some self-depreciation about the situation back then.

After hearing this, Chu Feng suddenly realized, so that was it.

No wonder Xiao Min's parents are adamant about having their daughter marry Liu Lang. This Liu Lang, in all aspects, truly overshadows Pu Fazheng.

Not to mention anything else, just the Sword God Realm alone is enough to ensure Liu Lang's complete victory.

With the cultivation of a Sword God, unless one messes up like Mao Wu, one can still lead a very good life otherwise. At the very least, it's a superior life above others.

Take for instance the two Supreme Elders of the Dan State Branch, even under great suppression, at the very least, the position of a Mountain Patrol Envoy cannot escape them.

While people like Chu Feng can only be the lowest ranked Medicine Farmers.

This is the stark difference.

"Brother Dharma, you seem to have a lot of self-doubt, which isn't good. Let me tell you a story. It might help you."

Chu Feng noticed that Pu Fazheng seemed to lack confidence in himself, a mindset of looking down on himself.

This is extremely detrimental.

"There was a king who wanted to choose a suitable husband for his daughter. After selection, finally, three men were shortlisted. The king called the three together and then asked them what skills they had to marry his daughter."

"The first one was a scholar, learned and promising. He had great hopes of becoming the country's Prime Minister in the future. This man charmed the king with his poetry and discussions on the past and present."

"The second was a businessman, extremely wealthy, rich enough to rival nations. If the king agreed to marry his daughter to him, he could contribute a large sum of money to make the king's country wealthier and his army stronger. The king was also very tempted by this prospective son-in-law."

"The third was a loafing renegade, with nothing at all, devoid of talents and money. The king frowned upon seeing him, and the other two competitors looked at this loafer with disdain. Just then, the loafer stepped forward casually and said, 'I have nothing, but I have her heart. She is already carrying my child.'

"Upon hearing the loafer's words, all eyes turned to the Princess. She came forward, her face blushing, holding the loafer's hand, and the two behaved very affectionately. The two competitors instantly burst into tears while the king, helpless, had no choice but to marry his daughter to the loafer."

The story told by Chu Feng was very enlightening.

After listening, Pu Fazheng's eyes gradually brightened, and his face regained confidence, revealing a smile.

"I'm enlightened, Brother Fazheng, and I know what to do! I will no longer belittle myself." Although Pu Fazheng was inferior to Liu Lang in many aspects, Xiao Min was very fond of him, and that was enough.

"Liu Lang sought help from Yan Qing and has viciously threatened to cripple me, what should I do?" Pu Fazheng sought Chu Feng's advice.
