Chapter 147: 147. Justice is not as good as an experienced driver
Fang Zhou kept hitting nonstop, until several wooden sticks were broken, with only one left.
Yu Qing finally couldn’t bear watching any longer. Thinking Fang Zhou’s anger had subsided, she stepped forward to advise, “Taoist Fang, stop hitting.”
Fang Zhou also felt it was about time. With his last hit, he broke the last stick directly.
“Hmm~~”
Ke Yanhan, who had been gritting her teeth without making a sound, suddenly let out a strange muffled groan. This sound did not resemble the panting of pain but had a faintly coquettish flavor.
Fang Zhou looked down, only to see Ke Yanhan’s skin flush red all over her body. She buried her head deep in her arm, her body trembling in pain.
Fang Zhou’s enlightened nose faintly smelled a strange scent.
Coupled with Ke Yanhan’s appearance, Fang Zhou was shocked.
Damn, could this nasty woman have awakened some strange fetish from being beaten by me?
“Oh no, Senior Sister Ke has been damaged by your beating!”
Yu Qing, this pure girl, thought Ke Yanhan’s appearance was due to Fang Zhou’s beating and hurriedly stepped forward to support her.
Although Ke Yanhan’s actions made Yu Qing very unhappy, she was still her fellow senior sister and hadn’t committed any unforgivable sins, so Yu Qing didn’t want to see her so miserable.
Ke Yanhan did not refuse Yu Qing’s help. She was drenched in sweat, her thin clothes clinging tightly to her burning skin, looking like she had just been fished out of the water.
This appearance was very much like the exhaustion after a severe illness, but Fang Zhou felt it was more like another state.
After being helped up, Ke Yanhan coldly stared at Fang Zhou, not saying a word, neither threatening him nor showing any sign of submission.
In those water-filled eyes, there indeed was hatred toward Fang Zhou but it was vague and unclear.
Fang Zhou’s heart sank gradually, damn it, this woman really had been beaten out of sorts.
Yu Qing didn’t notice Ke Yanhan’s abnormality. She said to Fang Zhou, “Taoist Fang, well, I’ll first take Senior Sister Ke for treatment. If you have any issues, you can come find me.”
Quickly, quickly, take her away, the farther the better.
Fang Zhou forced himself to stay calm and nodded, then said, “I hope you can explain to your senior sister that there’s no deep-seated hatred between us, right? There’s no need for her to keep targeting me.”
Ke Yanhan lowered her head, still not saying a word.
Yu Qing gave Fang Zhou a strange look, nodded, then helped Ke Yanhan to leave.
After the two left, Fang Zhou finally perked up and loudly said to the many disciples who had not yet left the scene, “Thank you all for your support today. If nothing unexpected happens, the Wangyue Daily can continue its publication. This is all thanks to your efforts in stopping the evil demolition and upholding justice. On behalf of all the staff of the Daily, thank you!”
The disciples listened, their blood boiling, as if they had indeed accomplished a righteous deed.
In the crowd, Li Yunlong initially wanted to raise her arm and shout Fang Zhou’s name, but she realized she still didn’t know what Fang Zhou’s name was, so she could only shout, “We want Lao Shiji, we want Lao Shiji!”
The surrounding disciples responded in unison, more and more of them shouting Lao Shiji.
These scattered shouts eventually converged into a unified voice — Lao Shiji, we want Lao Shiji.
Thousands of people shouting the same phrase is extremely heart-stirring.
This was far louder than the earlier protest against the demolition.
Fang Zhou’s expression stiffened, damn it, I worked hard to shout all those justice slogans, but in the end, you guys just want Lao Shiji.
…
The disciples eventually dispersed, not lingering for too long.
However, they were all excited about participating in a major event, and on their way back, they were still discussing it.
One female disciple even sighed, “Ah, I wish a handsome young man would publicly torment me, I’m so jealous of Senior Sister Ke.”
Her fellow senior sisters sneered, “Wake up, a handsome young man wouldn’t have time to torment you.”
Lu Qiuling quietly remained on Moon Viewing Peak, waiting until the other disciples had left, then she appeared, smiling at Fang Zhou, “Congratulations, boss, on overcoming the difficulties.”
Fang Zhou glanced at Heavenly Sword Peak beyond the sea of clouds, smiling slightly, “Hehe, this matter isn’t over yet.”
Lu Qiuling was surprised, “What, it’s already caused such a commotion, and Elder Yan still won’t stop?”
No, I mean, I won’t stop.
But such things didn’t need to be told to Lu Qiuling. Fang Zhou said to her, “Investigate Elder Yan’s details for me during this period, the more detailed the better. Expenses can be reimbursed.”
Lu Qiuling didn’t expect Fang Zhou to dared to retaliate against Yan Gulan, she thought he was just trying to prevent a second retaliation from Yan Gulan.
She immediately said, “Don’t worry, boss, I assure you I’ll investigate clearly, no need to worry about money. We’re in this together through thick and thin now.”
Lu Qiuling knew very well that helping someone in times of need was far more valuable than helping someone who was already successful. Now was the time to raise her status in Fang Zhou’s heart, and there would be many opportunities to earn back multiple times in the future.
Lu Qiuling took her orders and left, and Moon Viewing Peak became quiet again.
Fang Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief. After running back and forth for this past month, he finally got some results. Yan Gulan failed to demolish Moon Viewing Peak today, and won’t have another chance in the future.

Unfortunately, the Wangyue Daily he worked hard to create would likely not be able to continue.
But the Wangyue Daily was created in the first place for Moon Viewing Peak, and now that the goal has been achieved, it might still have residual value, which is not bad.
He planned to sell the newspaper to Yunshan City as a backup plan since the Heavenly Sword Sect valued their reputation highly and would not want to bear the stigma of bullying the weak.
That’s why Fang Zhou chose to use the weapon of public opinion. Valuing reputation was an obvious weak point of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Of course, this kind of thing could only be done once; it wouldn’t work the next time.
Everyone knows the idiom “public opinion can melt gold.” The higher-ups in the Heavenly Sword Sect might not have thought about using public opinion for anything, but it doesn’t mean they don’t understand it; no one is foolish.
Now that Fang Zhou has done this, if they still don’t understand how to use public opinion, then they would truly be fools.
Therefore, the Heavenly Sword Sect would definitely not let the Wangyue Daily, a tool for manufacturing public opinion, remain in Fang Zhou’s hands for him to smear the Heavenly Sword Sect.
As for when and how to take this tool away, that depended on the wisdom of the Heavenly Sword Sect’s higher-ups.
This matter spread quickly within the Heavenly Sword Sect, reaching every corner, causing quite a stir, with disciples constantly debating it during their free moments.
Most of the public opinion supported Fang Zhou, but there were some who opposed him, most of them male disciples, who despised him for enticing Senior Sister Yu Qing and causing a mess in the Heavenly Sword Sect.
The higher-ups of the Heavenly Sword Sect, on the other hand, maintained a peculiar silence. After returning, Yan Gulan didn’t make any moves, nor did the Law Enforcement Department mention the forced demolition of Moon Viewing Peak again.
But to think Yan Gulan would just stop here would be a big mistake. She had lost significant face this time, and keeping quiet now was merely to avoid the heat. She would certainly retaliate against Fang Zhou afterwards.
The public opinion fermented for several days, gradually losing its fervor under the cold treatment of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
On Fang Zhou’s side, the Heavenly Sword Sect didn’t come to trouble him. True Master Yu Jian even sent Yu Qing to convey a message, asking him to clarify the forced demolition issue in the newspaper to clear the dirt thrown at the Heavenly Sword Sect.
After listening, Fang Zhou couldn’t help but sigh, these Heavenly Sword Sect higher-ups were really old foxes, truly patient.
Fortunately, Fang Zhou’s opponent was Yan Gulan. If he were targeted by these old foxes, that would be truly problematic.
