Seeing Fang Yu safe and sound, the Ye Family’s elder heaved a sigh of relief and showed a gratified smile. Just as he was about to step forward, the elder coughed.
Cough cough.
Cough cough cough...
"Great-Grandfather," Ye Wenjun was full of worry.
Fang Yu frowned slightly, ca to the elder’s side, grabbed his wrist to check his pulse, and then barked, "Why didn’t you let the elder rest?"
Everyone was stunned.
"The elder has just recovered; if he doesn’t rest, his old illness could easily recur! You people... don’t know the first thing about respecting your elders and loving the young! What is the use of feeding you a bunch of ingrates?"
The rebuke included Ye Wenjun as well.
Her pretty face blushed, and she lowered her head.
The elder waved his hand and said, "Fang Yu, it was my insistence to wait here for you. It’s not their fault."
Fang Yu smiled and said,
"The elder is thoughtful... You haven’t fully recovered yet, rest early. Also, bring the Four Treasures of the Study."
The Four Treasures of the Study?
Mr. Zhong was taken aback.
In this era, it seed that fewer and fewer people used the Four Treasures of the Study. But because of Fang Yu’s status and strength, he had to direct soone to go purchase them.
...
Inside the room.
The elder lay in bed. But his spirits were high, and he didn’t feel the slightest bit sleepy.
Before long, the Four Treasures of the Study were delivered, and Fang Yu wrote down a prescription, instructing, "Prepare the dicine according to this prescription, one dose per day, persist for three months."
The elder said,
"Fang Yu... My Ye Family can never thank you enough for what you have done for us... If there is anything you want, just ask."
It was a huge promise.
After all, the Ye Family was one of Yanjing’s three great Martial Arts Families with profound heritage.
Just the capital of the Ye Corporation alone could easily support a top-tier wealthy individual.
"Elder, you worry too much..."
Fang Yu stood with his hands behind his back and calmly said, "I’ve said before, my father is a man of great loyalty and integrity, and so will I be in my generation. The Ye Family helped the Fang Family back then. Consider today’s actions as repaying that favor."
Hearing this, a hint of disappointnt flashed through Ye Wenjun’s beautiful eyes.
Yet the elder said,
"Fang Yu, if possible, I hope you will fulfill the marriage agreent."
As the oldest person in the family, he was very clear about the importance of mutual affection among young people. If it had been in the past, perhaps he would have worried about mismatched social status.
But now, Fang Yu had shown great strength. Just his bloody suppression of two great protectors and thirty-five Hidden Dragon guards was enough to match Ye Wenjun!
Now with the Ye Family in decline, if Fang Yu were to marry Ye Wenjun, the Ye Family would surely revitalize!
The elder knew this request was sowhat utilitarian! But he had led an upright and honorable life, always straightforward, never hiding or hoarding.
As for the decision, it was up to Fang Yu.
Hearing the elder’s words, Fang Yu slowly turned around, glanced at Ye Wenjun, and said, "Elder... This... might be difficult..."
Seeing Fang Yu hesitate, the elder suddenly worried and asked, "You’re not willing?"
Fang Yu imdiately glared and retorted, "Who says I’m not willing? Elder... you made a promise, you can’t go back on your word!"
"..."
This turn of events was a bit sudden, almost catching them off-guard.
Mr. Zhong, who was drinking tea, nearly spit it out.
Ye Wenjun’s beautiful eyes slightly wrinkled, but she didn’t feel the sa aversion as before. On the contrary, she found it quite interesting, amusing... If she really had to choose, Ye Wenjun thought that the current state of Fang Yu was better—a Fang Yu killing in darkness was simply too terrifying.
"Then it’s settled!" exclaid the elder excitedly, already feeling much better.
Fang Yu laughed heartily too, saying, "It would be even better if you could give so money to spend. I’m a bit short on cash lately."
"That’s a trivial matter; later you can withdraw so from Wenjun," said the elder.
"Uh, it would be even better if I had a place to live," said Fang Yu helplessly.
"Then just stay at Wenjun’s villa; she’s living there all alone anyway, it’s lonely, and there are servants for everything," the elder readily agreed.
"..."
But sohow, this conversation seed to be taking a turn for the worse.
Ye Wenjun frowned deeply. Wasn’t this... living off a woman?
...
Seeing how generous the elder was, Fang Yu said, "It’s so good? Hmm, once I’m through with things here, I’ll move in."
Ye Wenjun: "..."
...
...
At the sa ti.
Jiangzhou. Dragon Tiger Association.
Ji Qiubai held his teacup with an indifferent gaze fixed forward.
"Brother Ji, troops from all sides have taken action according to the plan... I believe we can capture everyone by tonight," said Ji Qiubai’s subordinate from behind.
"Mhm, rember, we must capture them all."
"Yes. With the help of martial arts experts, we should not fail."
After speaking, the subordinate turned and left.
Ji Qiubai swirled his teacup, muttering to himself, "Xu Zhaopei, Jiang Wei, Jiang Xiaoxiao... Fang Yu, you’re really lucky with won."
"In Yanjing, they should have made their move too... After today, Fang Yu will be no more in this world," Ji Qiubai slowly poured the tea onto the ground, "Brother, rest in peace. In this world, you are one of the few brothers I respect."
Smash.
The teacup shattered on the ground.
...
...
Jiangzhou, Xu Family.
Xu Zhaopei was sunbathing alone in the courtyard.
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept through.
"Miss Xu, please co with ," a shadow leapt into the courtyard, smiling at Xu Zhaopei.
"Who are you?" Xu Zhaopei was startled.
"Who I am is not important, what is important is... you must co with today."
The shadow charged directly at her.
Just then, Elder Xu Liu appeared and exclaid in shock upon seeing the scene, "A martial arts expert of the Third Layer! Peipei, get out of the way!"
Xu Liu rushed forward.
Bang, bang!
Fists collided!
Elder Xu Liu staggered back repeatedly, his face changing drastically, "Who the hell are you? Why do you want to kidnap Peipei?"
Xu Zhaopei hurriedly supported her grandfather, her face stricken with horror.
"Sorry, soone wants to deal with you," said the shadow as it lunged again.
Xu Liu’s eyes widened in despair at the sight.
But at that mont—
A figure suddenly appeared, whoosh! Like a ghost, it stood between the two.
Bang!
The shadow was sent flying.
The newcor, dressed in a green Zhongshan suit, smiled and said, "To lay hands on a friend of Gu Qingshan, let’s see if you’ve got what it takes!"
Gu Qingshan?
The grandson of Gu Guangxuan of Jiangzhou!
The shadow’s pupils constricted, and without a word, it turned and fled!
Xu Liu gave chase.
Gu Qingshan raised his hand and said, "Do not pursue a desperate enemy..."
...
...
Jiangzhou, Dragon Tiger Association.
"Brother Ji, the mission failed," reported an underling from behind.
Ji Qiubai’s face turned cold, cursing, "Worthless! Even with the help of a martial arts expert of the Third Layer, you still failed?"
"The Xu Family is guarded by Gu Qingshan; he is soone we cannot afford to provoke!"
Gu Qingshan?
Old Master Gu of Jiangzhou?
Ji Qiubai’s face changed, as he couldn’t believe it and asked, "What about Jiang Wei?"
"Jiang Wei... it seems Gu Guangxuan is staying at her place."
"Gu Guangxuan!!"
Ji Qiubai widened his eyes! He couldn’t possibly be unaware of these three words. How did Fang Yu establish this connection?
"Fang Yu... you forced my hand."
"Gu Guangxuan, a mber of the Lu Family, good, let your own people clash!"
