Chapter 1047: Chapter 251: Yan Beihan’s Predicament [Ten Thousand Words] (Part 3)

She took a deep breath and said, "Just head in that direction, what do you think we should do?"

Fang Che smiled wryly, "Mr. Yan’s exam paper is truly advanced."

Yan Beihan laughed, "But you are already prepared, aren’t you?"

Fang Che couldn’t help but smile wryly.

This girl is truly clever, perceptive and sharp.

She had long thought about it; Yan Beihan personally came here, personally dined with Yemo, and personally delivered things. So, how could Yemo not be prepared?

At least some essential hurdles must be passed, and some essential value must be displayed.

Otherwise, why would Yan Beihan come all this way personally? Just to deliver things to you?

With Yemo’s identity, no matter how arrogant, he wouldn’t dare to think that way.

"Mr. Yan wants to reach that step, if you allow me to be frank, it’s very difficult. Even more difficult than for Feng Yun, Feng Xing, Chen Yin, and others."

"Oh?"

"This sentence isn’t just about Mr. Yan himself, but about all the ladies among the top families of the Wei Wo Zheng Sect."

Fang Che pondered and said, "Mr. Yan, being a woman, even if she feels dissatisfied inside, she has to face reality and admit that girls inherently have a disadvantage in the pursuit of power. That is their gender."

Yan Beihan bit her lip and nodded slightly.

Deep down, she was very unwilling to admit this, but she couldn’t deceive herself.

This is the truth.

No matter the society, in any era, it’s the same! Within the larger social group, women are always at a disadvantage.

"And Mr. Yan’s current biggest disadvantage isn’t even gender."

Fang Che pondered and said softly.

"What? Not gender? That’s already a fatal weakness, isn’t it?" Yan Beihan was surprised, genuinely curious now.

"Yes, there’s another more fatal, more serious issue." Fang Che nodded.

"What?"

"It’s...the current position Mr. Yan holds in the minds of the sect’s high-level figures."

Fang Che sighed helplessly, "Mr. Yan’s current position isn’t that of a woman, nor that of a subordinate who can shoulder heavy responsibilities, nor certainly a leader or collaborator who can stand on equal footing." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"She is regarded as a child."

"A child who needs to be coddled, needs protection."

Fang Che raised the last glass of wine and drank it all.

The sound of the glass lightly clicking on the table awakened Yan Beihan from her thoughts.

"Clang clang."

Without hesitation, Yan Beihan took out two more bottles of wine from her ring. They were still in the top grade Purple Crystal bottles.

She personally opened the bottle and filled Fang Che’s glass, saying softly, "Today, drink as much as you like! Continue speaking."

Fang Che glanced sideways.

It seems this girl replenished the stock after going outside, because I remember drinking all the wine she had in her Space Ring... Sigh, drinking in the Yin Yang Realm is truly wasteful...

The cultivation she brought out was just a little...

"Mr. Yan’s current situation is such that, in the eyes of the bigwigs, Mr. Yan still needs someone to protect and coddle, and wouldn’t be trusted to handle anything herself."

"And the most awkward aspect now is that while Mr. Yan’s cultivation isn’t low, she’s still not ready to truly do something independently. A small mistake could easily lead to capture or death. Hence, even taking chances is impossible. Failure isn’t scary, but after one failure, there might never be another chance."

"Of course, Mr. Yan’s identity protects her, even Guardians wouldn’t dare to casually kill you, so there’s no threat to life; this isn’t a concern. What needs concern is, if you fail, the trust from the elders will be completely gone. Then in the future, Eldest Lady Yan could only stay within the Wei Wo Zheng Sect, unable to go out. She’d forever be a cherished child."

"Once reaching that point, Mr. Yan’s life would be as if she’s already seen the end of her future prematurely."

"So going out to prove yourself isn’t viable at this time, Mr. Yan."

Fang Che said slowly, pausing at this point.

Yan Beihan frowned immediately and asked, "You need to do things to prove yourself, to break away from the image of a child being coddled and protected; but you can’t really go out and do things. Yemo, don’t you think what you’re saying is a bit contradictory?"

"Precisely because this contradiction exists, that’s why it’s so difficult to resolve."

Fang Che sighed, "In this regard, Feng Yun is very clever. Feng Yun also isn’t capable of independently holding down a territory, but he cleverly operated starting from upgrading subordinate sects. He elevated several sects in the Northwest District to first level sects, so... in the eyes of the elders, he has depth, means, leadership skills, and the capability to unite subordinates, with exceptional poise and demeanor. Naturally, this time going out to the Southeast with family support, his status and position completely overshadow the original Southeast Headquarters Chief Wu Xiang, and upon returning from the Yin Yang Realm, he’ll undoubtedly become a regional leader."

"Though only acting as the Chief of the Southeast Headquarters, you and I both know, no Chief progresses as fast as Feng Yun, nor has Feng Yun’s regard! This way, by comparison, he stands out even more."

"Moreover, upon arrival, he used his status and position to heavily damage the Heavenly Palace and shock the Southeast. Before he came, the Southeast was in turmoil, after he arrived, the Southeast was peaceful. This... is the capability elders recognize, suitable for major responsibilities."

Yan Beihan gently sighed.

Fang Che understood why she sighed, smiling wryly, "This path is a shortcut. Unfortunately, Feng Yun took that step earlier; so Mr. Yan cannot take the same path. Otherwise, even if successful, a large part of the credit would still belong to Feng Yun."
