School flower's personal master

The local people also turned a blind eye to this.

"It doesn't matter. At worst, we'll be back to square one. Do you think I'm afraid of something like that, someone who rose from humble beginnings?"

Chen Agou rallied and immediately took the first step.

The steps were a bit difficult, but we still managed to take them!

He was immediately slapped to the ground.

The once radiant phoenix image has been reduced to a muddy chicken in the blink of an eye.

And this is just the beginning.

Lin Yi followed up with a flurry of kicks, restricting Chen Agou's movement and making it impossible for him to break free.

If this scene were to be leaked, no one would believe that this was a duel between two masters of the second zhang level. It would be more like a street thug bullying each other.

After a brutal beating, Chen Agou finally managed to adapt to the intensity of the two-zhang Dharma form and struggled to his feet.

Unfortunately, before he could retaliate, Lin Yi immediately pressed his face down with one hand and slammed him to the ground.

What followed was an even more intense and frenzied attack.

Chen Agou then realized something.

He was indeed adapting quickly, and Lin Yi was also adapting quickly, but the key point is that Lin Yi adapted even faster than him!
"..."

Chen Agou was filled with despair.

Only now did he finally realize that his fate was sealed the moment the track rules were changed.

There are no further changes.

Meanwhile, in Fugui Township.

Zhang Baiyu looked at Kong Jisheng in front of him, a strange glint in his eyes.

Kong Jisheng spoke up: "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Are you waiting for me here?"

Zhang Baiyu raised an eyebrow: "You're not trying to say that you deliberately let me find out about your dirty deeds, are you?"

Kong Jisheng smiled and retorted, "Otherwise what?"

Zhang Baiyu said expressionlessly, "Man-made natural disasters have turned Fugui Township into a dead end for the racetrack, causing all those gathered here to be plagued by misfortune and never have a chance to rise again."

"Let them all become the price to be paid, in order to elevate Chen Agou to a five-zhang-tall Buddha statue."

“From then on, Fugui Township became a breeding ground for evil, and the already fragile order was constantly under attack from evil.”

"Chen Agou once again stood up as a hero, defeated evil, and became the only light in Fugui Township."

"The people of Fugui Township will never understand that the heroes in their eyes are the culprits who will cause them to be forever trapped in their depravity and never have a chance to rise again."

"As long as Chen Agou doesn't fall, Fugui Township will forever remain a cesspool."

Listening to Zhang Baiyu's calm account, Kong Jisheng did not refute him at all, but instead showed his appreciation.

"To be able to find out the whole story so thoroughly in such a short time, your father was right, you are indeed a born strategist."

Kong Jisheng clapped his hands gently.

A strange glint flashed in Zhang Baiyu's eyes: "Was this your decision alone, or a collective decision of the Confucius lineage?"

Kong Jisheng smiled and asked in return, "What's the difference?"

Zhang Baiyu said, "If it's a decision made by you alone, you're the one who gets tainted; if it's a collective decision, then the entire lineage of Confucius gets tainted."

Kong Jisheng said frankly, "It was my personal action. However, if my ancestors knew about it, they would definitely support me, because these are necessary sacrifices."

"Necessary sacrifices..."

A hint of disgust flashed in Zhang Baiyu's eyes: "That's the tone of a standard villain. You're quite self-aware. You must have already prepared yourself for what fate awaits a villain."

Kong Jisheng laughed and said, "The hardest thing in the world is to make people understand you. This is indeed true. But it doesn't matter. Since being misunderstood is my destiny, I choose to accept it calmly."

Zhang Baiyu frowned and said, "Who are you trying to disgust by dressing up like this martyr?"

"I'm not trying to disgust anyone, I'm just stating the facts."

Kong Jisheng smiled calmly.

Zhang Baiyu said coldly, "Public opinion is paramount. Your ability is to manipulate public opinion, but there's a prerequisite: the public must genuinely trust you. If I reveal the truth now, do you think they will still trust you?"

"of course not."

Kong Jisheng calmly said, "Not only will it not happen, but the entire lineage of Confucius will be buried with me, leaving a lasting stain on our reputation."

The overall impression is that it is insignificant.

Zhang Baiyu frowned secretly.

Based on his understanding of Kong Jisheng, no matter how unconventional Kong Jisheng may have been, he still valued the glory of the lineage of Confucius.

This was true of Confucius's lineage, and also of the other five sage families.

The importance they place on the glory of their ancestors is ingrained in their bones from the moment they are born, and they would never give it up under any circumstances.

Kong Jisheng's behavior was extremely unusual.

His behavior was so unusual that it made one wonder if he had become someone else's puppet.

"The Supreme Emperor?"

As the main force dispatched by Lin Yi to keep a close watch on Emperor Jiyi, Zhang Baiyu naturally knew the weight of this legendary figure.

Kong Jisheng may be a big shot in front of others, but in front of the Supreme Emperor, he might just be a puppet.

However, judging from Kong Jisheng's subtle behavior, it seems that this is not entirely the case.

"but……"

Kong Jisheng abruptly changed the subject: "You won't make it public."

Zhang Baiyu asked in surprise, "You think you can control me?"

They are both newly appointed Five Saints of aristocratic families, and their strength is roughly equal. If they were to fight, neither of them would be absolutely certain of defeating the other.

Let alone Kong Jisheng, even if another Emperor of Ultimate Intent appeared, it would be impossible to brainwash him and turn him into a complete puppet.

He's Zhang Baiyu!

Kong Jisheng smiled and shook his head: "It's not that I control you, it's that you control yourself. Forget it, let your father talk to you. You'll understand everything soon enough."

"My father?"

Zhang Baiyu was truly astonished this time.

He personally cleaned his father's body, and in the end, Zhang Fengxiao, this filial son, turned the body into a demonic passage. If his father could still be alive after all that, it would be too outrageous.

Unless his father faked his death from the beginning.

The problem is, even if you fake your death, you can't hide it from his senses.

Kong Jisheng didn't speak, but simply clapped his hands lightly, and a remnant of his primordial spirit appeared out of thin air.

He was the strategist of the previous generation.

Zhang Baiyu's eyelids twitched: "Father!"

Strictly speaking, this is not a true primordial spirit, but merely a lingering remnant.

Once the energy is depleted, it will immediately dissipate and disappear.

Kong Jisheng smiled faintly and said, "You and your son can discuss the rest yourselves."

After saying that, he walked straight out of the dilapidated temple.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Baiyu emerged from the dilapidated temple with a complex expression.

Kong Jisheng laughed and said, "Now you understand, right? You're a smart man, so I don't need to say anything more about what to do next."

Zhang Baiyu glanced at him: "So, from the moment Lin Yi entered Tianjun, my father had already seen the future, and you were already making plans back then?"

"good."

Kong Jisheng nodded calmly. (End of Chapter)
