1066: Chapter 1066: Choose One of the Two 1066: Chapter 1066: Choose One of the Two Zhuge Lian’s voice was crisp, like pearls falling onto a jade plate, pleasant and lodious.
From Zhuge Lian’s words, Fang Bai sensed her imnse dissatisfaction with her sect’s arrangent for her to have a “blind date” with a disciple from the Purple Fla Sect.
Yet the sect’s orders were hard to disobey, and she felt powerless to resist; she could only accept her fate.
The thought of eting that direct male disciple from Purple Fla City soon and even marrying him one day stir up great irritation in Zhuge Lian’s heart, and her feelings extended to a dislike for all the disciples of the Purple Fla Sect.
Sotis Zhuge Lian thought about running away, but since she had grown up in the Xuannv Sect, she had long considered it her ho and couldn’t bear to leave.
Additionally, she worried that if her mother suddenly returned to the Xuannv Sect one day, she would not be able to find her.
For Zhuge Lian, her mother was her greatest weakness.
Her deep longing for her mother and the hope of her return held back Zhuge Lian from the thought of running away.
She stayed obediently in the Xuannv Sect, accepting everything her sect arranged for her.
This ti the Xuannv Sect’s visit to the Purple Fla Sect was ant for the higher-ups of both major sects to initiate another marriage alliance to further strengthen their bond.
As for the individuals concerned in this marriage, the woman was Zhuge Lian from the Xuannv Sect and the man was Zu Yu from the Purple Fla Sect.
At twenty-seven years old, Zu Yu was the adopted son taken in by Sect Master Zu Tiangang of the Purple Fla Sect and one of the Sect’s direct disciples.
He possessed a water attribute Innate Spiritual Root.
His strength was comparable to that of Zhuge Lian, and he was seen as the successor to the next Sect Master of the Purple Fla Sect.
Zhuge Lian learned from several of her sect’s high-ranking mbers that Zu Yu had t her once when he accompanied an Elder of the Purple Fla Sect on a visit to the Xuannv Sect last year.
At that ti, he had been attracted to Zhuge Lian and had spoken of it to Sect Master Zu Tiangang upon his return.
Subsequently, Zu Tiangang made a marriage proposal to the Xuannv Sect.
Both Zhuge Lian and Zu Yu were very young, handso and beautiful, and were the martial arts geniuses of their respective sects.
The upper echelons felt that their union would be a perfect match, a joining of two fine families, better than they could have hoped for.
Although the disciples of both the Purple Fla Sect and the Xuannv Sect were quite optimistic about the marriage alliance, Zhuge Lian, as one of the parties involved, had no interest at all.
Although she said nothing outwardly, inside she felt exceptionally averse and filled with reluctance.
So when Fang Bai asked Zhuge Lian if there was anything he could help with, Zhuge Lian, troubled by the marriage arrangent, wanted Fang Bai to think of a way to sabotage it.
“This matter is easy to deal with.
Since you don’t want to marry Zu Yu, I will take care of him for you by killing him,” Fang Bai said, rubbing his fists and palms together with a fierce killing intent.
Zhuge Lian was taken aback and frowned, “Killing Zu Yu…
Is that really a good idea?
After all, I have no grudge against Zu Yu, and our Xuannv Sect has always had a good relationship with the Purple Fla Sect…”
Fang Bai pondered then said, “If killing him won’t do…
how about I ruin his appearance for you?
With his looks destroyed and turned into a monster, he won’t be a match for you.
Then you can use this as an excuse to back out of the marriage.”
“Is that so…”
Zhuge Lian’s eyes lit up, clapping her hands, “That does sound like a good plan…
But isn’t it a bit too cruel to ruin soone’s appearance just for this?”
Zhuge Lian had never done such a thing before and felt a bit guilty.
Fang Bai rolled his eyes and said, “Then what do you suggest we do?”
Zhuge Lian tilted her head and thought for a long while, then shook it, “I don’t know…
Brother Fang, do you have any other ideas?”
“No!” Fang Bai said irritably, “I have two options: Kill him or disfigure him, I must choose one or the other!”
“Then let’s choose the latter!
Disfiguring his face is better than killing him.
At least it leaves him alive…” Zhuge Lian sighed softly.
“Alright, that’s settled then!
I’ll go back and prepare!” Fang Bai said as he turned and strode in the direction of Purple Fla City.
Zhuge Lian quickly followed him for a few steps, walking beside Fang Bai, tilting her head to ask, “When can this be done?”
Fang Bai glanced at her with a smile and asked, “You’re in such a hurry to have disfigure Zu Yu’s face?
It seems you really detest him!”
Zhuge Lian pouted and said, “My life is not sothing I want others to control!
As for that Zu Yu, whether it’s their Purple Fla Sect or our Xuannv Sect, almost everyone is singing his praises…
Hmph, the more they talk about how great Zu Yu is, the more I detest him!”
Fang Bai knew that youths at Zhuge Lian’s age often have so rebelliousness, where if soone pushes them to do sothing they dislike, it only ignites their spirit of resistance.
And that was probably Zhuge Lian’s state of mind right now.
Zu Yu might not be a bad person, but when Fang Bai was in the Secular World, he had made a promise in front of Zhuge Dingtian’s remains to look after Zhuge Dingtian’s wife and children in the True Martial Realm.
Now that Zhuge Lian was asking him to sabotage the marriage between Xuannv Sect and Purple Fla Sect, how could Fang Bai refuse?
Moreover, Fang Bai had previously been ambushed in the Soul Severing Valley of the Blizzard Mountain Range.
Although the assailants were the Elder of the Fiery Sect, the Elder of the Cloud Feather Sect, and a traitor from the Bitao Martial Academy, Fang Bai was well aware that the Purple Fla Sect was definitely involved.
As the only third-grade major sect of Thousand Lakes Country, in order to maintain its dominant position and protect its interests, the Purple Fla Sect often suppressed other fourth-grade sects by forcing them to pay a hefty sum of cultivation resources as “protection fees,” which left those sects even more deficient in cultivation resources and unable to produce truly talented disciples who could threaten the status of the Purple Fla Sect.
Fang Bai harbored no good feelings towards the Purple Fla Sect.
Driven by his animosity, he naturally had no affection for the disciples of the Purple Fla Sect.
He thought to himself, “Zu Yu, oh Zu Yu, I’m the one who will disfigure you, don’t bla .
If you must bla anyone, bla your own bad luck!”
After walking side by side for a while, Fang Bai suddenly turned to ask, “Xiao Lian, when are you scheduled to et that Zu Yu?”
Zhuge Lian replied, “It should be before the Sect Conference of Thousand Lakes Country is convened.”
Fang Bai nodded and said, “That’s in two days then.
Well, there’s still plenty of ti… Don’t worry, Xiao Lian, when you see Zu Yu again, I think he’ll have turned into an ugly freak.”
A hint of a smile tugged at the corners of Zhuge Lian’s mouth as she nodded and said, “I hope so.”
Then sothing suddenly occurred to her, and she asked Fang Bai, “By the way, have you ever seen Zu Yu?”
Fang Bai shook his head and said, “This is my first visit to Purple Fla City; I’ve never t any disciples from the Purple Fla Sect!”
Zhuge Lian anxiously said, “If you don’t know Zu Yu, how can you disfigure him?
Wait, tomorrow the Purple Fla Sect will be holding a welco banquet for the various sects attending the Sect Conference.
At the banquet, I’ll point out Zu Yu to you.
Once you’ve recognized his face, you’ll be able to make your move!”

It should get better after a while…
