Chapter 124 Fang Family
Chapter 124 Fang Family (Subscribe~)
Inner city of Weishui, Fang family.
As one of the four great families in Weishui County, the Fang family was naturally extremely prestigious. The Fang family had numerous buildings, pavilions, waterside pavilions, exotic flowers and plants, and luxury was evident everywhere.
In a garden in the backyard of the Fang family, there was a white-haired old man who was trimming branches and weeds like a gardener and talking casually.
"I heard Zuo Wumei died?"
"The Hui old man is dead." A middle-aged man standing nearby responded respectfully.
"Who killed it?" The old man carefully trimmed the branches without even turning his head.
"It seems to be a candidate for a police officer in the alleys of the outer city, his name is Chen something." The man recalled: "Oh, yes, his name is Chen Pingan. His family background is clean, just an ordinary person. I heard that he is not very old, just 20 years old, but he has reached the fifth level of Qi and Blood. Please take a look and see if you want to win him over."
The old man did not reply, but carefully cut off the branch in front of him. After doing this, he slowly straightened his body.
"I can't control what's going on outside, nor do I want to. I'm old, and I just want to live a peaceful and happy life. Whether to win over people or absorb them into the family is up to the head of the family and the people from the outer hall to decide."
The old man talked on and on, and the middle-aged man bent his body slightly and listened carefully.
"I have no control over what's going on outside, but I do want to talk about the people in my family."
At this point, the old man's voice suddenly changed, as if he had suddenly become a different person.
"Zuo Wumei!"
"He is nothing more than an abandoned disciple of the Shadowless Blade Sect. In his prime, he was only at the second level of internal energy. Now his Dantian has been destroyed, so he is at best at the first level of internal energy, which is a level weaker. How dare such a person come to our house at night?"
"Who gave him the courage?!"
The old man's voice was not loud, but an indescribable aura instantly enveloped him.
"And more! Such a thing happened. He actually managed to get away! Who was the person in the family who took action at that time? What about the others? I would like to ask, what are they doing for a living! A mere abandoned disciple with a crippled dantian dares to act so recklessly and come and go as he pleases! First, the business road encountered setbacks, and then there was the Zuo Wumei incident. How will other families view our Fang family? Do they think that the embarrassment our Fang family has caused is not enough?"
The old man's intimidating look made the middle-aged man next to him feel terrified.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but as the old man got angry, the thriving flowers and green leaves around him seemed to wilt, no longer full of vitality.
This scene lasted for a long time before the old man slowly turned around. When he saw the withered flowers clearly, his expression changed and he howled.
"Oh, my flowers! Quick, call the gardener! My precious flowers!"
"Yes, clan elder."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man left in a hurry as if he had been pardoned.
The old man said nothing, but it seemed as if he had said everything. For the things he said, someone in the family would suffer, and someone would take care of the follow-up.
In the Fang family, he is the sky!
The Fang family is a prosperous family with a flourishing family. The legitimate and illegitimate descendants are intertwined. The fastest way for each branch to stand out is to have a martial arts master. But in a family like the Fang family, even if one has entered the stage of internal energy, he is still far from being a true master.
The so-called elders in the outer hall are just for show. If you want to become the real ruler of the Fang family, you have to enter the inner hall.
And the old man is a very special one among the elders of the inner hall.
Chen Pingan didn't know what the Fang family discussed internally. However, the Fang family was indeed a family giant that had been based in Weishui County for a thousand years, and their promises were worth a thousand gold.
On the third day after Chen Pingan killed Zuo Wumei, someone from the Fang family came to invite him to go to the Fang family's inner treasury to choose a treasure.
"Mr. Chen, I am the steward of the Fang family. As promised, I am here to invite you to the Fang family to choose a treasure."
The person who spoke was a man with a blessed face, dressed like a butler. Behind him was a carriage, with two horses tied in front. It really was a family with a deep heritage, and it was really luxurious!
Chen Pingan sighed and agreed happily.
Sitting in the Fang family's carriage, Chen Pingan went all the way to the inner city. When passing the junction of the outer city and the inner city, a guard saw the Fang family's logo on the carriage and let the carriage go directly without even stopping it.
"The treatment of the noble families is indeed very different from that of the common people in all aspects!"
Chen Pingan looked at the scene in front of him and felt emotional.
If ordinary civilians wanted to enter the inner city, they would have to pay money and be searched like thieves. But people from aristocratic families naturally had special privileges and didn't even have to get off the carriage.
The feeling of riding in a carriage is very different from walking.
Sitting in the carriage, looking at the pedestrians walking back and forth outside through the windows on both sides, you will naturally feel superior from a high position. A feeling of superiority arises spontaneously!
"No wonder people often hear that in the eyes of the aristocratic families, ordinary people are not even considered human beings!"
Chen Pingan felt a lot of emotions when he sat in a carriage for the first time.
If you sit in a different position, your mentality will be different, and your actions will be very different.
The carriage was moving at a fairly fast speed, and Chen Pingan soon arrived at Fang's house.
"Mr. Chen, we're here." The steward greeted him from outside.
"Yeah." Chen Pingan nodded and walked out of the carriage.
The Fang family's door lintel is broad, with a golden plaque inscribed on it, and there are majestic servants standing at the door.
Although they were servants, when Chen Pingan walked past them, he discovered that each of them was an expert in Qi and blood who had just entered the martial arts realm.
“It’s really luxurious!”
The steward led Chen Ping'an in, and after several turns, they arrived in front of a building.
The pavilion was several stories high and there were many guards guarding outside. The steward took him to the first floor and the two of them went into a room and sat down.
"Mr. Chen."
The steward said with a smile.
"I haven't been formally introduced yet. My name is Fang Shicheng, and I'm the third-class steward of the Fang family."
"Hello, Manager Fang."
Judging from Fang Shicheng's expression, it seemed like he had something to say to him.
Chen Ping'an's guess was correct. As expected, Fang Shicheng then began to tell him about the history and heritage of the Fang family.
"Mr. Chen, our Fang family was founded more than 1,200 years ago."
Fang Shicheng has good eloquence and his stories are quite interesting.
Talking about how the ancestor of the Fang family fought his way into the Weishui County City and established himself. Talking about how the Fang family prospered and how the younger generations did.
He also talked about the power and industry of the Fang family.
At the end, Fang Shicheng revealed the purpose of his trip.
"Mr. Chen, you killed Zuo Wumei, which is a great achievement for our Fang family. In gratitude for your contribution, our Fang family intends to absorb you into the Fang family."
