Chapter 600: Chapter 599: Women Hold Grudges
Yang Fei’s assessment was boldly accepted by Qin Yanyang.
She felt that was exactly the kind of person she was and saw no need to feign modesty in front of Yang Fei, as both were sincere and open-hearted.
Yang Fei suddenly realized that the reason Qin Yanyang could possess such a high Cultivation Realm at her age was not only because of her innate talent, but also because her state of mind was incomparable to that of most Martial Artists.
She had a magnanimous spirit and a pure heart, thus her path of Cultivation was one of courage and unimpeded progress.
"The Spiritual Energy here is truly rich; it’s perfect for Cultivators like us to reside in," Qin Yanyang remarked with admiration.
Yang Fei nodded, "Yes, compared to many places in the Hidden Sect, the Spiritual Energy here is even more abundant."
"If the Spiritual Energy here actually leaks from the Hidden Sect Plane, it might become stronger and stronger," said Qin Yanyang.
Yang Fei spoke, "I’ve observed these past few days, if we envelop the entire valley with a Spirit Gathering Array, the ability to absorb the external Spiritual Energy will double. By then, this place will truly be the Cave Heaven Blessed Land that all Cultivators dream of."
Qin Yanyang had no doubts about that, but she thought of something else and asked, "Do you mean to say that if the Gathering Spirit speed here increases, it implies the Spiritual Energy from the Hidden Sect World is leaking out faster?"
"Loss here leads to gain there; it’s inevitable, but it’s not as exaggerated as it sounds. After all, the Hidden Sect World is vast. It won’t collapse just from leaking some Spiritual Energy in a short period," Yang Fei explained.
"Mm, as long as there is a balance, it’s fine. The Hidden Sect is like a sharp sword hanging over the head of Divine Continent Country. Without removing this sword, Divine Continent can never truly become powerful," Qin Yanyang said.
Yang Fei suddenly felt puzzled and asked, "The Hidden Sect has existed since ancient times, and Divine Continent had its times of prosperity in the past, so why is it not possible now?"
A hint of coldness flashed in Qin Yanyang’s eyes as she said, "They are too ruthless and lack a strict ruler to oversee the big picture. Hence, their strategies towards the mundane world can change easily. This doesn’t matter in times of peace, but when surrounded by formidable enemies, their inaction can plunge the billions of Divine Continent into immense tragedy.
The reason I detest the current Hidden Sect is that a hundred years ago, they were only engaged in in-fighting, destroyed the Taoist Sect, and turned a blind eye to the disaster on Divine Continent.
Back when the Taoist Sect was revered, it had strong rallying power and was always concerned with the mundane affairs."
It was the first time Yang Fei had heard about these matters, and he too felt moved. After a moment, he said to Qin Yanyang, "Let’s not think about these unpleasant things anymore. After all, both of us are Taoist Inheritors. The mission to restore the Taoist Sect falls upon our shoulders now, hahaha..."
Qin Yanyang was amused and felt that Yang Fei was right.
In fact, Yang Fei had other thoughts.
From this incident, he felt that what Tong Yunshu said was very true; what he and Qin Yanyang were striving for now might eventually benefit others.
However, since Qin Yanyang was wholeheartedly serving the public interest with such fervor for the country, he could not dampen her spirits.
He believed Qin Yanyang, with her cleverness, must have considered this aspect.
Her vision seemed too broad, almost as if these gains and losses didn’t matter to her, but he had to be cautious.
Let’s just wait and see.
He was determined to fully support his wife’s career.
The ringtone of Qin Yanyang’s cellphone pierced the silence—it was the Leader calling.
She answered the call in front of Yang Fei.
"I’ve talked to them, and this matter has garnered a lot of attention from all parties, and they’re giving it special consideration. You and I both know what they’re thinking—to keep the big picture in mind and give them some benefits, how about that?" asked the Leader.
"What’s the proposal?"
"Leave Yunwu Mountain to the Military Department, but they will have to station troops around it. Their intention is very clear; they want to know about the Genetic Liquid Medicine as soon as possible and have proposed that after the medicine liquid is produced, half of the finished goods be distributed to them."
Qin Yanyang responded with a smile upon hearing this, "These people really lack courage. After causing such a big fuss, they only ask for half of the finished products?"
"That’s exactly where their cleverness lies. They have already figured out your temperament; they know you would make concessions for the greater good, so they don’t dare to ask for too much, or else if you don’t give them face, it wouldn’t be good for anyone."
"Fine, give them one third of the production, but they can forget about stationing troops. I don’t like being watched, and they have already planted so many people in the Military Department—I am well aware of it, even though I’ve never exposed them. So there’s absolutely no need to station more troops on the periphery.
Yunwu Mountain must be used as a secret testing base. Do they think stationing troops around it will keep it a secret? Give them ten minutes to get the hell out of Yunwu Mountain, or they’ll only get one fifth."
"Hehe, aren’t you being a bit too domineering, young lady?"
"This is already my biggest concession. If it weren’t for taking into account the bigger picture, just based on the mess they made today, I would have lost my temper already," Qin Yanyang said with a resolute tone.
"Alright, wait for my message."
Then, three minutes later, the sound of helicopters starting up could be heard outside.
Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang walked out and saw Chu Que hurrying over to meet them.
After saluting Qin Yanyang, Chu Que said, "Minister Qin, I hope you can understand my difficulties with today’s incident. I’m merely carrying out orders; if there has been any offense..."
"You have five minutes left," Qin Yanyang said in a chilly tone.
Chu Que’s mouth twitched, and his face flushed red, involuntarily clenching his fists.
But he still managed to hold back his anger.
It wasn’t just that Yang Fei was standing by Qin Yanyang’s side—even facing Qin Yanyang alone, he did not dare to turn hostile.
Even the eldest brothers had already compromised and ordered a withdrawal—how could he possibly stand against them?
"I’ll take my leave!"
Chu Que took a deep breath, suppressing the frustration in his heart, and turned to leave.
"Oh, and you will compensate the Tong Family tenfold for the Medicine Land that your helicopters destroyed," Qin Yanyang added.
Chu Que paused, then without turning back, said, "I will report this to my superiors."
After saying this, he left with big strides.
He didn’t want to stay here for another moment.
"Brother Chu, take care. No need for us to see you off," Hu Lizhong’s voice came from behind.
Chu Que felt a line of black clouds hanging over him, his teeth gritted tightly as he quickened his pace toward the helicopter. In less than three minutes, all the people from the Central Battle Zone had left, not one remained.
"Haha, that was truly refreshing," Hu Lizhong said happily.
Zhou Fu and the others also wore smiles, feeling as if they were standing taller.
They still remembered how the other party had given them ten minutes to leave the valley earlier, and now this strikingly beautiful woman had used the same tactic to drive away those arrogant folks.
Yang Fei gave his wife a glance—he remembered saying something about this matter offhandedly before, but he never expected she took it to heart and swiftly avenged Hu Lizhong and Zhou Fu.
This wife of his has a sense of the big picture when it comes to right and wrong, no doubt, but it seems that it doesn’t stop her from holding a grudge at all!
