Looking at the sowhat serious Hua Huiyue, Fang Yi paid a complint, "This is what I, as a son-in-law, should do, protecting my mother-in-law is a matter of course. It’s just that I killed Yang Chengji, this..."
Unexpectedly, Hua Huiyue said indifferently, "Killing is killing, anyway, he and I were only husband and wife in na."
"Husband and wife in na?"
"Yes, the man I loved back then was Yingying’s father. Later, Yang Chengji forcibly got involved. However, my talent was better than his, and my martial arts were superior. After my father passed away, I took the Sect Leader position of the Sky Sword Sect. Yang Chengji has never even touched my hand."
Fang Yi couldn’t help but sigh, "So it’s a case of a wife ruling with an iron fist." He felt a bit sorry for Yang Chengji, but then a thought struck Fang Yi, "Then Yingying is not your daughter either?"
Hua Huiyue said, "Of course not, she is the child of Yang Chengji and another woman. I also considered Yang Chengji’s face, so I’ve always raised Yingying as if she were my own."
Thinking of this, Fang Yi inexplicably felt that Yingying was pitiable, her life being so tragic. In this matter, Hua Huiyue was not to bla. It was all because of Yang Chengji’s stubbornness that such a tragedy occurred.
Seeing Fang Yi’s contemplative expression, Hua Huiyue said, "Young fellow, do you think I am a heartless person?"
Fang Yi shook his head with a serious face, "I don’t feel that way at all; on the contrary, I think mother-in-law, you are both affectionate and righteous."
Hua Huiyue teased, "Those words didn’t co from your heart, did they?"
Fang Yi patted his chest and said, "They ca completely from the heart. If you don’t believe , mother-in-law, you can feel it."
"Tsk! You sly boy, you dare to tease ."
"Hehe, you didn’t trust , mother-in-law. I spoke the truth, believe it or not."
Standing against the wind, Fang Yi lit a cigarette and gazed into the distance.
Hua Huiyue looked at the side of Fang Yi’s face, the clearly defined lines, the slightly prominent nose bridge, hair covering one eye, and a defiant and proud temperant slowly erging on his face.
Fang Yi was looking at the scenery; Hua Huiyue was looking at Fang Yi.
After a while, Hua Huiyue asked, "Will you return to Sky Sword Mountain?"
"No," Fang Yi said, "I have a big task to do."
Hua Huiyue asked curiously, "What big task? Do tell."
Fang Yi took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out, put it in his mouth, and lit it. Looking up into the sky, after a mont of thought, he said, "To take back everything that once belonged to ."
...
When he returned to Moon City, it was already two days later, and of the one month, nearly three weeks had passed, leaving only the last week.
It was during these twenty-plus days that Fang Yi had advanced from the sixth stage of Earth Level to the first level of Heavenly Level. And now, with the Seven Turns Against Demons within him, facing a master of the third level of Heavenly Level, Fang Yi felt confident in a fight.
The Dragon Soul mbers heading to Yunma Mountain, along with the nurous assassins, were not forgotten by Fang Yi. Although the losses were severe this ti, Su Ling had fallen into Fang Yi’s hands, and the thousands of monsters had all been slaughtered, which could be considered a considerable gain.
Fang Yi took out a substantial amount of gold. Every survivor received three million each, while those with serious injuries or disabilities got an extra two million from Fang Yi. Moreover, he had made arrangents for their future, ensuring not to abandon or give up on anyone.
It took a day to settle this matter. Fang Yi had spent over two hundred million in total. In the past, this amount might have made Fang Yi blink, but now he had the confidence to handle it.
Firstly, the gold mine had already entered full operation, with factories processing the output in Lank City. Several factories had been constructed, producing gold products for overseas markets, which yielded an unimaginable profit.
Then there was the Qingtian Barbecue in Moon City. Now with over a dozen chain stores, the inco from such a venture was substantial. Fang Yi was able to support his followers comfortably.
With just five days left in the month, Fang Yi received a call from Shen Xiaoxiao, who relayed that Shen Hongyang had invited him over for dinner.
In truth, Fang Yi had so inkling of what Shen Hongyang’s intentions could be. Even if Shen Hongyang didn’t say anything, Fang Yi intended to et him.
Arriving at Shen Hongyang’s residence, Fang Yi brought no gifts. He went straight to the study and found Shen Hongyang, who wore a face full of worries.
On the desk in front of Shen Hongyang was an ashtray filled with more than a dozen cigarette butts, and yet, Shen Hongyang seed oblivious as he dangled another cigarette from his lips, the study thick with the sll of smoke.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Suddenly, Shen Hongyang burst into a fit of coughing, his face flushed red. However, he stubbornly clung to his cigarette, not letting go. Anyone could see that Shen Hongyang was burdened with heavy matters.
There was a water dispenser in the study. Fang Yi used Shen Hongyang’s cup to pour him so water and set it in front of him. Raising his head and seeing that it was Fang Yi, Shen Hongyang finally stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray.
"You’re here, sit," said Shen Hongyang, before taking a few sips of water.
Fang Yi sat down opposite him, intending to take out a cigarette, but then he rembered sothing and withdrew his hand.
Fang Yi said, "Uncle Shen, even though you’re worried, you shouldn’t torture yourself like this. Your illness..."
Shen Hongyang offered a bitter smile and said, "Worrying is useless. The disease has spread to my bones, and in any case, I won’t live much longer."
)
Fang Yi was silent for a mont, then shook his head, "Uncle Shen, although you have lung cancer, I think... I should have a way to cure it."
Excitent surged across Shen Hongyang’s haggard face, but it quickly turned to utter despondency. He offered another bitter smile and said, "Actually... it doesn’t matter whether I’m saved or not. I’ve already lost my attachnt to this world. I might as well be gone for good."
Fang Yi shook his head and said, "Uncle Shen, that’s where you’re wrong. You’ve still got your wife and two daughters. If you go, who’s going to take care of them? You can’t possibly be asking to do it. I’m willing to look after Binnan, but what about Aunt Luo and Shen Xiaoxiao, what about them?"
Shen Hongyang replied, "But Binnan..."
Fang Yi said, "It seems the Fang Family has already sent out the news?"
Shen Hongyang nodded and said, "The Fang Family has spread the news. Now the whole of Tianjing knows, and the news has reached Moon City as well. Many people have been coming to my house to congratulate us non-stop, and I’ve kept them all out of the door. In short, the matter of Binnan marrying into the Fang Family is now public knowledge, and it cannot be changed."
Shen Hongyang felt an extre sense of helplessness inside. The Fang Family was a super clan; to confront them was near impossible!
Moreover, a marriage arranged by the Fang Family, who would dare to obstruct? Especially since this marriage had been personally sanctioned by a chief official. How many chief officials were there in Xuan Cang? A chief official, a super clan—to stand against them was as hard as ascending to the heavens!
