Translator: 549690339
Upon hearing Fang Yang’s words, everyone present was taken aback, especially those from the Han Family standing beside Elder Han. They looked at Fang Yang with a mix of revulsion and disdain.
Elder Fang trembled with rage and pointed at Fang Yang, demanding, “You… you explain to me. Not long ago, you had just barely entered the Void Cultivation Stage. How were you… how were you subjected to that-served… served up like a feast-why didn’t you resist?”
“What?” Fang Yang was stunned. His face turned red with fury, especially when he saw the members of the Han Family smothering their laughter, whispering excitedly. His anger surged.
When Fang Yang saw a woman of unparalleled beauty standing next to Elder Han, he was visibly shaken and spoke angrily, “Grandfather, you… how could you falsely accuse me like this? I was not subjected to-being… being served up like a feast. It’s just that…”
Then, Fang Yang recounted the incident of Yang Zhen pricking his buttocks with a snake, viciously declaring, “That Yang Family youngster dares to brag about coming to our Fang Family. Grandfather, you must ensure he is torn limb from limb, otherwise I won’t be able to quell the hatred in my heart.” Elder Fang looked at Fang Yang dubiously, his gaze unblinking, “That youth, he truly only has the level of Void Cultivation?”
Elder Fang turned towards Elder Han, then asked Shanyang, “Where is he now?”
A hint of humiliation crossed Shanyang’s face as he replied, “He is indeed at the Void Cultivation Stage, but he possesses an extremely strange martial skill that is immensely powerful. Even Uncle Quan was controlled by him, completely immobilized. Otherwise, we would have torn him to pieces by now.” Elder Fang inhaled sharply at his words, his face reflecting a mix of shock and delight, “An extremely strange martial skill, you mean these earth snakes?” Hearing the term ‘earth snakes’, Shanyang quickly closed his legs and nodded, “Exactly. If I’m not mistaken, that martial skill is at least of a saintly grade or’ even higher!”
This time, it wasn’t just Elder Fang, even Elder Han revealed a trace of surprise, exchanging glances with the beautiful young girl from the Han Family.
The girl in white was no older than twenty yet was extraordinarily delicate Her twinkling eyes seemed as though they could speak with a life of their own. Her cherry lips were thin, seeming as tempting as perfectly ripened cherries. After hearing Shanyang’s words, intrigue flashed in the girl’s eyes which gleamed with anticipation as if she was eager to test Yang Zhen’s capabilities, showing that she was indeed a martial arts fanatic.
At this moment, Shanyang continued, “That Yang youth is currently drinking tea with Uncle Quan in the guest room. His attitude is arrogant, clearly not giving you the respect you deserve.”
Elder Fang snorted coldly and commanded, “Someone, bring that audacious boy to me. I would like to see who this disciple or heir is who dares to act so brazenly in the Fang’s house in Ice Martial City!”
Someone was ordered to go. Suddenly, Shanyang said, “By the way, grandfather, Yang Jiang and Aunt Lian are also accompanying that Yang youth. It seems they are quite confident.”
“Oh?” Elder Han looked puzzled, “Didn’t the Yang Family go to Dajiang ^Th?” f°r 3 C°UrteSy Cal*nOt l0ngag0? Why is Yang Jiang with that YanS
Elder Fang looked a bit suspicious and explained with a laugh, “Perhaps, there was some kind of mishap, and she happened to come back with that youth.” Elder Han nodded, a smile on his face, “I heard that there is a powerful rune martial skill hidden in the Mo treasure of the Yang Family, but it’s consistently vexing as it cannot be understood. Elder Yang, back in the day, invited me to try to figure it out, but my comprehension was limited, and I couldn’t decipher it. Elder Fang, I heard you were discussing the transfer of that Mo treasure with the Yang Family, has there been any progress?”
A shadow flickered in Elder Fang’s eyes as he shook his head and chuckled, “You are mistaken, Elder Han. Elder Yang was always stubborn. Now that he’s gone, his descendants will not let go so easily.”
Elder Han laughed heartily, “Well, I suppose they wouldn’t easily give up something so valuable.”
Elder Yang actually invited you to comprehend that treasure?” Elder Fang asked, his eyes glinting. He had clearly not known about this.
Elder Han seemed not to suspect anything and said, “That was many years ago. By now, I have completely forgotten how that Mo treasure felt. It’s a pity, though. If I could lay eyes on that treasure again in my lifetime, it would not have been in vain.”
Elder Fang laughed loudly and shook his head, saying, “This isn’t a difficult task. Elder Han can join me in persuading Miss Yang. As long as the Fang Family gets that ink treasure, I’ll let Elder Han study it to his heart’s content However, I’ll be setting off to Northern Island in just two days. We’ll really need to speed up this business.”
With a glint in his eyes, Elder Han nodded in agreement, “In that case, let’s see what Miss Yang thinks.”
Just as they were discussing, loud chiding voices came from outside the door, causing everyone to be startled and they looked up in surprise.
At the entrance, there was a young man in brocade clothes striding in. However, he looked rather gauche. With his unabashed lack of manners and casual comport, he was stopped outside by a member of the Fang Family for chastising.
Under the public gaze, the young man was splendidly dressed, adorned in white mink fur, a fur hat on his head, and holding a large jade Ruyi scepter. He truly was a handsome young man.
Elder Han was slightly stunned and chuckled lightly, “What a charming young
The stunning daughter of the Han Family had an unusual gleam in her eyes. She stared intently, her hand already on the hilt of the sword at her waist. Her bright eyes were shining brilliantly. She was watching Yang Zhen closely eager for a fight.
Elder Han laughed, “Yan’er, you always want to fight or kill such a talented young man. It wouldn’t hurt to befriend him.”
On hearing those words, Han Yan’er smiled lightly. The corners of her mouth raised mockingly before she regained her composure and nodded, “Yes, I understand.”
Though she said that, Han Yan’er’s gaze still held an intense desire for combat when she looked at Yang Zhen.
After Yang Zhen entered, he immediately noticed Han Yan’er among the crowd. He couldn’t help it-this woman had such a strong intention to fight that it made Yang Zhen feel awkward. Looking down at his fine clothes, he muttered to himself, “Does she hate wealthy people?”
After saying that, Yang Zhen regretted, “If I’d known it earlier, I wouldn’t have bought such expensive clothes. Seriously, that Fang Quan doesn’t seem to mind at all. Only after eating his couple of Jade Ganoderma did he show some hesitation. This damn dress isn’t comfortable at all.”
Seeing Yang Zhen approaching, Fang Yang stood awkwardly as he was neither sitting nor standing, and revealed a strong murderous intention towards him Just before Fang Yang could rebuke Yang Zhen, Elder Fang stopped him with a cough.
Fang Yang looked baffled. He looked at Elder Fang, unsure of why Elder Fang didn’t let him put Yang Zhen in his place.
However, Elder Fang ignored Fang Yang. Instead, he looked at Yang Jiang with a playful sparkle in his eyes, “Miss Yang, did you consider my previous offer to purchase your ink treasure? Have you reached a decision?”
On hearing this, Elder Han was taken aback. He looked at Elder Fang in confusion. This kind of transaction would generally be negotiated with Yang Jiang’s father, wouldn’t it?
Upon hearing the question, Yang Jiang’s face displayed a flash of irritation She turned to look at Yang Zhen and sighed, “How many crystals does the Fang Family offer to buy it?”
What?
On hearing this, everybody present was stunned. No one expected Yang Jiang to agree to it! 6
Especially those who knew the ins and outs of the deal from the Fang Family were absolutely dumbfounded.
The Yang Family would rather see their home destroyed and lives lost than part with the ink treasure, and now Yang Jiang readily agreed to sell it!
Elder Fang also didn’t expect Yang Jiang to agree so readily. He laughed heartily, just about to say something, when an astonished voice echoed in the guest hall.
“Cousin, why would you say that? Didn’t you promise to sell that ink treasure to me?”
