Fang Lang's words lingered within the ministry's palace.
Drowning out the sound of wind and snow outside the palace.
The flames of the candles flickered. Many were perplexed by Fang Lang's choice. Looks of astonishment appeared on everyone's faces.
Fang Lang's choice could be clearly interpreted from his words—he had chosen the Sword Guild.
The Blooming Lotus Sword he obtained had apparently altered his fate and he chose the Sword Guild as a sign of gratitude.

As for Chao Xiaojian's promise to bring Fang Lang into the demon world to bathe in the Devil's Pond, everyone saw it as nothing but a joke.
Chao Xiaojian was a powerful man, yet it was not an easy task to bring Fang Lang into the demon world and escape in one piece. Thus, no one believed his promise.
