ligently practice the Method of Overcoming Calamity Needles. After completing his cultivation, he would find an opportunity to move to the Southern Regions.The vastness of the world doesn't mean that...Gefa's first lesson on Yinxhang Peak was about "arrogance" and "tension".

According to Gao Zheng, these are the two most pressing issues that need to be addressed when it comes to mountain and sea monsters entering the human world.

But looking back many years later, Ge Fei believed that the most important thing he learned in that lesson was "patience".

"Putting down arrogance" and "keeping composure" are words of advice, while the word "patience" is a lesson by example.

The true heir of the Ge family, at the age of five, became a disciple of Gao Zheng and studied under him for seventeen years. From a child who was not even as tall as a broom, he grew into Yue Guo's national prodigy.

Later, the hide was stolen. The mountain and sea monsters who occupied the hide even went to Yinxang Peak, wanting to control Gaozheng.

Gao Zheng, however, chose to take this apprentice and accept everything that had already happened.

At that time, Ge Fei didn't quite understand what "master and disciple" meant. It wasn't until his identity as a direct descendant was revealed, opening all the visible and invisible doors for him; it wasn't until everyone he encountered repeatedly reminded him of the rich political legacy he had received that he understood. The so-called "inheritance," the "bowl" refers to the ability to make a living, and the "clothing" represents dignity in conduct.

From master to apprentice, Gao Zheng's teachings are a lifetime's accumulation.

Ge Fei thus understood more and more the meaning of this word, “ forbearance.”

To endure for the sake of one's country.

When Gao Zheng was alive, Jiang Wang came to Yinxiang Peak. At that time, he was furious and wished to tear open Jiang Wang's skin immediately and give him a lifelong unforgettable lesson. Under Gao Zheng's suppression, he only dared to lurk.

Later, Gao Zheng died. Jiang Wang returned to Yinxang Peak. Whether pretending or not, he chose to endure.

Wen Jing Xiu praised him for his growth.

He suddenly realized that he had become dependent on Gaozheng, in the way a child depends on their parent.

Although he was born in the Shan Hai Jing created by Huang Wei Zhen, he had never truly met Huang Wei Zhen. Like many people in this world, he had only heard legends of Huang Wei Zhen. He was a solitary monster in the Shan Hai Jing, stepping step by step to the top of the Shan Hai through brutal competition, and no one had ever truly taught him anything.

Facing Gao Zheng, his anger roared almost out of control, ranting and raving about mass slaughter. In reality, it was just a spoiled child venting his emotions under parental supervision. When the teacher died and the parents were gone, he had to face the storm alone, only then did he pick up those things he had learned.

On the bank of the Qiantang River, Gao Zheng's silence during high tide was his last lesson.

Although he is a mountain and sea monster brought to reality, he is not without intelligence. In the Shan Hai realm, he subdued various strange beasts, defeated all competitors, and even wanted to take the life of Huang Weijing in the end... It's not something that can be done without brains.

After leaving the Shan Hai Realm, I was in a state of confusion and darkness. My bestial nature was difficult to control, so I often lost control of my savage instincts.

He had just begun to learn how to be a person, but the human world was far more treacherous than the vast landscapes of the Shan Hai Jing.

For example, at first he couldn't understand why Wen Jingxiu aimed to strengthen the nation but used methods that weakened it. Before Chu had a chance to act, he purged all the noble families and veteran officials within his own country.

Only then did he slowly understand that this was perhaps a process of removing a tumor, now bleeding for the sake of living in the future.

Only those who are clear-sighted and know how to make choices, hand over power in advance, and dissolve the intricate networks of interests they have woven over the years, can escape unscathed. This can be seen as the self-healing of a festering wound; once healed, there is no need to excise it any further.

For example, the Zheng family in Yancheng has ruled the city for generations. The descendants of the Zheng family filled the city lord's mansion, not giving outsiders any breathing room. Even the pet dog in Old Madam Zheng's arms was officially registered as a criminal-hunting hound, enjoying state support. In Yancheng, there is a saying: "Ten officials and seven Zhengs," which is far more powerful than the Li family who took the military route.

However, when wind and rain struck, the head of the Zheng family directly resigned as city lord. Before resigning, he dismissed all Zheng family members who were in charge of government affairs. He didn't even bother with a process of removing the incompetent and retaining the competent, nor did he try to argue with the imperial court about which individuals were qualified or even excellent. He simply emptied everything, lay flat and surrendered, starting anew from scratch.

The Zheng family had almost no deaths.

The few deaths were still at the hands of the Zheng family head himself. He read out the charges, carried out a proper execution, and satisfied the public’s hearts. "Ten officials and seven Zhengs" for so many years, the people of Yancheng still remember the good deeds of the Zheng family

In contrast, the Li clan was completely oblivious to the situation. Believing that the Zheng clan had fallen, they boldly reached out, attempting to seize both military and political power... In the end, not a single member of their main line survived.

Now in the city of Kuaiji, no one wants to be associated with nobility. In the past, people constantly talked about lineage and history, but now everyone tries to distance themselves, claiming they are descended from commoners for three generations.

The joys and sorrows of people are different.

The old aristocratic forces of Yue Guo were wiped out overnight by extreme means, creating a huge power vacuum. This is also a great opportunity.

Throughout the entire nation, in every county and city, official examinations were conducted on a large scale. All the examiners were officials who had risen from commoner backgrounds—for this day, the emperor had long been preparing a vast pool of talent.

In the past, aristocratic families controlled the government, making it difficult for commoners to rise in status. The emperor loved talented people and specially built the Hanlin Academy to house those he favored but couldn't easily promote due to their humble backgrounds.

These people's daily work consists of writing articles, reading books, and engaging in historical debates. They only have fame but no real power. The nobility are also happy to maintain a reputation for respecting the learned.

Now that these individuals have been sent out to various positions throughout the government, filling the vacancies left behind, and taking control of key positions, they fully cooperate with Yue Ting's new policies — so crucial and yet so esteemed, that people call them "The Pure Hanlin."

Once the upward channel is opened, the waves surge and the stagnant water becomes lively.

Children from poor families hurried to tell each other, filled with lofty ambitions.

In this turbulent time, there is also a flourishing of all things and the birth of new life.

People at the time would say: To tread upon the bones of nobles and ascend the ladder to the heavens!

Political reform, of course, is not such a simple matter. It's not that His Majesty the Emperor suddenly has a whim, thinks about it for a moment, and snaps his fingers to change everything immediately.

Ge Fei saw that the new policies of Yue Guo today were like a waterfall cascading down a steep cliff, unstoppable. This was the result of Gao Zheng's careful planning many years ago. After sowing seeds in spring, he now reaped the harvest in autumn.

Back then, with the might of Gao Zheng's celestial alliance, he launched a comprehensive reform throughout Yue State. He demanded "fair selection of officials and equal rights for all," and no one in court dared to publicly oppose him. However, when it was finally implemented, it wasn't smooth sailing. It faced resistance from major cities beneath the Yue court. With Gao Zheng's methods, dismantling them would have been child's play—but just at this time, he was forced into exile. The reform was naturally abandoned, his policies halted, and the official pathways crumbled. Afterward, he secluded himself from the world, no longer concerned with court affairs.

Many years have passed, and Gao Zheng's many political proposals, including the reform of the bureaucracy, have never been mentioned again. Both the court and the opposition respected him, and the nobility submitted to him. However, in the face of huge practical interests, many people would rather he remained a "hidden minister" and best of all, "only hidden but not engaged."

Many times, Ge Fei had heard Gao Zheng recount the past, but this teacher seemed to never feel regret or sorrow. He simply calmly summarized what he had done and what he hadn't done back then. There were no waves, only order, as if he were telling someone else's story.

After Gao Zheng's death, Ge Fei lived in seclusion in a small courtyard in the mountains. He spent his time reflecting on the current state of Yue Guo and slowly piecing together the past events, understanding their connections one by one, as if they were happening right before his eyes.

When even Yinxang Peak was swallowed by the high autumn, he seemed to have read through Gao Zheng's whole life.

He decided to go down the mountain.

Sow in spring, harvest in autumn, summer long, winter hidden. Now descending the mountain is just the right time.

Yet, Yue Ting has made no public statements regarding the existence of Ge Fei to date, which makes him a relatively ambiguous figure in the current political landscape of Yue Country.

He is Ge Fei, he came down the mountain, of course he had to go home first.

The Ge clan is the oldest family in Yue, even predating the history of Yue itself. When King Yue's ancestor staged a coup, the first thing he did was seek the support of the Ge clan.

Such a family, prosperous for generations, truly worthy of the name "noble family," with deep and unfathomable foundations—of course, that was just in the past. Now, even their underwear is on display for everyone to see.

Gev Fei thought the father of this body, the chieftain named "Ge Yu," was utterly foolish.

To send one's son to Gao Zheng as an apprentice is not the same as exposing one's own vital organs, naked before Gao Zheng, isn't it Why don't these people realize the danger at all They don't even know that they are the very ailment Gao Zheng wants to eradicate until they meet their end

Is it that the teacher disguised herself too well and was too cunning, or is it that the father was too foolish

For Ge Fei, this is not a dilemma. The two are not contradictory and can happen simultaneously.

The Ge family ancestral home is located in Fu Jian, a city renowned for its flowers, birds, fish, and insects. The local people love to gamble and watch theatrical performances.

Before the hooves of the revolutionary forces even touched the city gate, they had already set the entire city ablaze.

Along the way, people kept bowing to him from afar, showing their respect but never approaching him.

This passion reached its peak upon entering the mansion.

"Master, you're back!"

“Master, shall I brew you tea, or your favorite Dongye Mei”

Here is your translated text:

"Young Master Fei is back!"

Ge Fei walked in without much emotion, only lightly nodding along the way.

He also caught snippets of such amusing whispers:

"That's great, the young master is back! Now no one dares to touch us!"

Humans are truly complex beings. Their depths are vast, like the universe, yet their vulnerabilities can be as small as dust. Some possess profound wisdom and plan for millennia, while others are foolish and shallow, almost laughable in their simplicity.

How exactly should we define it

He walked deeper inside and came face to face with the body's father.

It is not very polite for a father to welcome his son, but considering that the Ge clan has been extinct for many years as real people, and as the strong pillar of the Ge clan's future thousand-year foundation, it is quite reasonable for the head of the Ge clan to come out to welcome him.

Remembering the teacher's teachings, a person should be polite.

So he bowed deeply to the Ge chieftain, Ge Yu, before him: "Child greets father, Father, you look thinner."

Gevu was taken aback for a moment, not knowing what to say. He simply replied, "Good, good. My son is thoughtful."

“It’s windy outside, why don’t we go to the study and talk” Ge Fei asked very politely.

>

At sixty-one years old, Ge Yu turned and walked inside. "Come with me," he said.

The current chieftain of the Ge clan and the future chieftain, thus dismissing all their attendants, walked alone into the study. As soon as the door closed, the noise died down. The previous merriment seemed like something from another world.

"The arrangement of this study is different," Ge Fei observed, looking around, and then suddenly said.

Gevu sat down behind his desk, very straight: "What's different"

"It's very similar to Bai Pingfu's study," Ge Fei said. "Almost exactly the same."

The chief of the Ge people had deep-set eyes, like two caves, and indeed there were insects living inside them. He raised his lip corners: "Very good, you still remember."

The ancient art of controlling insects has its merits, but Ge Fei's progress has stagnated. He is now lagging behind the times. Ge Fei, who had left the Mountain and Sea Realm with a keen eye for truth, had spent years learning from Gao Zhengxue. He no longer held his original knowledge, the so-called "family tradition," in high regard. He nonchalantly said, "I have a deep impression of Zhang Linchuan. He was the first person who ever bested me."

While Bai Pingfu wasn't worth mentioning, Zhang Linchuan's process of killing him was artistic. He appreciated it carefully.

"What about Yi Shengfeng" Ge Yu's tone was just as flat. "The one from Nandou Hall."

"He just runs faster, that's all. If you really want to count, he's only half a—" Ge Fei mumbled, tasting something amiss: "Why do you think Yishengfeng caused me trouble"

"Reputation asked back, “Do you know why I’ve decorated my study to look just like Bai Pingfu's”

In the Shan Hai realm, the weak don't even have the right to cry, let alone speak at length. Ge Fei's patience was wearing thin: "Just get on with it."

He said to himself, unconcerned with the reputation he was gaining: "History repeats itself. Similar things always happen again and again. I have been arguing with Pingfu for half my life, and I know I will be like him."

That's actually quite interesting. Ge Fei didn't seem very emotionally invested as he asked, "Why do you say that"

On the desk lay an open book, a thick one with pages that were slightly yellowed. He closed it, and it made a dull thudding sound. The cover read...

The head of the Gue clan, a prominent family in Yue, was often reading the history of Chu.

> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

The head of this ancient and illustrious family, looking at his nominal son, spoke in a very calm voice: “You came down the mountain this time to kill me, didn't you”

Ge Fei didn't try to hide his gaze as he looked back at the past. Looking at the person in front of him, he suddenly felt that this person was different from the foolish image he had in mind. He couldn't help but ask: "When did you find out"

"From the day you returned, I knew you weren't him. That's my son, raised by me from childhood. You're just too different."

Gao Zheng once said that humans are very good at self-deception, Ge Fei's family didn't want to face the truth, so they didn't discover Ge Fei's problems. But now Ge Yu has given a different answer.

Humans, are such interesting creatures!

Ge Fei ended up pulling over the chair opposite his desk and sat down. His posture was also very proper, very polite: “But you still admitted it. I'm very curious what human emotions are. Over the past few years, I've read a lot of books, many of which say that emotions are very important, but in my own experience, they don't seem to matter—are they important or not”

"Ge Yu did not answer directly because he had no obligation to educate this mountain sea monster. He simply continued his expression: “You are not my son, but you are indeed a disaster beast, whereever you go, there is disaster. To call you the true 'fei' is also not an exaggeration. My Ge family has been searching for disaster beasts through generations. Meeting you can be considered getting what one wishes for.”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“I see!” Ge Fei smiled. “You discovered I wasn’t your son, but pretended not to know, deliberately paralyzing me. You wanted to treat me as a true Fiend Beast and refine me, to revive the Ge clan’s secret method, and create a new human being, securing the future for the Ge clan. But then why did you abandon this idea Because of my teacher”

His eyes widened in astonishment. He was amazed by the intelligence of this sea monster from legends, and even more so by Gao Zheng's teachings. Gao Zheng seemed to have truly treated this mythical beast as his own disciple, pouring his heart and soul into its education.

This discovery saddened him.

He said: "It is the system that creates inequality, it is the inaction of those in power, and the selfishness of everyone from top to bottom that has given rise to all this... Standing on this tower of greed, each layer is sucking the blood of those below. Those at the very top view the so-called elite in the middle as a tumor. Of course, today's elite in Yueguo are nothing short of tumors, but Yueguo was built from scratch. The reason why these elites became elites was that they initially had lofty ambitions to build this country."

He asked, "Have they changed Have we changed Or has the soil changed, the country changed Ge Fei, you've been studying all these years, do you have an answer for your father"

Ge Fei recalled Gao Zheng's words seriously, viewing them as valuable memories, like food for a monster hibernating.

He said: “Treating a serious illness requires strong medicine. If we had given the teacher more time, more freedom, if he hadn't been forced into exile back then, things wouldn't be so rough today. All of this should have happened gradually, like the gentle breeze and rain, but now there's no time, and the teacher is gone.”

"Let me tell you this—" he looked at Ge Yu: "Brother Wen's methods are indeed a bit rough. If it were the teacher, it wouldn't be like this."

This is a tricky one! I can translate the content within the tags, but I need you to provide me with the actual text between the tags. You've only given me the tag structure. For example, if your content was: >Then I could give you:>Please give me the text you want translated, and I'll be happy to help!

“I see,” Ge Yu nodded. “If it were just such a dark and senseless murder, I would think highly of Xiang’s plan, and I would feel that there is no hope for things to improve. With what you say, my father feels a little more at ease.”

"Relax" Ge Fei raised his eyes, not quite understanding.

He was becoming more and more like a human, more and more of a person, but he also understood humanity less and less.

"Come on!" Ge Yu still refused to answer, for he was consumed by hatred and unwilling to teach his enemy. But he also did not choose to fight. He simply sat upright in his chair, spread his arms wide, and calmly said: "The Ge clan, this tumor growing in the heart of the Empire, is most fittingly removed by its own disciple, my son."

Some people were at a loss.

He rose from the endless competition among countless strange beasts within the Shan Hai Realm. He understood best how to survive.

But Gao Zheng, a man so intelligent, didn't seem to have considered seeking survival.

The "father" on this body, the roadblock before the new policy, the festering sore of this country...even he met his death with composure.

Why

Ge Fei thought that way, and he actually asked the question out loud.

However, Ke Ge didn't answer. He just closed his eyes.

I hope it's all worth it.
