A pot of plum wine was not enough for the two of them to rinse their mouths. Soon, the pot was empty. Fang Huwei looked at Fang Yan expectantly and said, "Warm another pot?"
"No." Fang Yan shook his head firmly. "You mustn't, and I won't drink with you--if you do, I'd rather go to bed. Who else in this house has the guts to warm your wine for you except me? "
"Bastard!" Fang Huwei cursed angrily. "Don't think that I can't deal with you just because my legs are paralyzed. Aren't you back now? Tomorrow, I'll go to the Ye Family and scold them. I'll say that the girl from the Ye Family ran to Huacheng and was beaten black and blue by my grandson and ran back crying for her parents. Do you think the Ye Family will eat you up? "
Fang Yan's face became bitter again as he said, "Grandpa, am I really your grandson? It's fine if the people outside bully me, but you also bully me?"
"Who dares to bully you outside? Didn't that brat from the Jiang Family also lose to you? "
Fang Yan shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "He doesn't even need to do anything himself. All he has to do is move his lips, and I have to be in danger time and time again. I have to fight for my life and escape from death time and time again. How could he not take advantage of me? If I'm the slightest bit careless, I'll die, and I won't be able to come back to see you. What about him? I've won again and again, but all I've done is cut off some of his branches and leaves. He's still that sturdy and tall tree trunk. When winter passes and spring comes, he'll once again flourish with leaves and become the benchmark and hope for countless people. Grandpa, this is an unfair battle. "
Fang Huwei looked at Fang Yan with burning eyes and said, "Are you afraid?"
"Grandpa, I'm not afraid. There is no fear in the martial arts spirit, only fear — I just don't like this kind of oppressive environment. I worry that he will harm my family. I worry that he will harm my friends. I even worry that he will harm my students. I'm not afraid of death, but I don't want to die. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm more afraid of the people I care about dying because of me — "
"I'm your grandfather, so I have the right to speak: I'm not afraid to die. Your father also has the right to speak, and he is not afraid of death. Your mother, your family, your friends, they all have a say — none of us are afraid to die. " Fang Huwei looked at Fang Yan and asked, "If you were given a second chance, would you still choose to do the same thing?"
Would he still choose to do that?
If he could do it all over again, would he still push Lu Chaoge away from the speeding car?
If he could do it all over again, would he still save Qin Yitian from the bomb attack?
If he could do it all over again, would he still straighten his back and not give in to Jiang Junling? — —
Yes, he would do it again.
If he could do it all over again, while saving Lu Chaoge, he would also save the security guard of Sky One, Liu Jinzhu. That way, his wife wouldn't be a widow, and his parents wouldn't lose their son. Most importantly, he would be able to see his son call him "father" — now that his Heart of Tai Chi had entered the "Starlight" realm, he believed that he had the ability to do it.
If he could do it all over again, he would still save Qin Yitian from the bomb attack. Not only because she was a girl who admired him, but most importantly, she was his student. It was natural for a teacher to save a student. Not only would he save her, but he would also protect her with his own chest. He wouldn't let her get hurt, and he wouldn't let her use her thin body to block bullets for him — she was known for her intelligence, but she wasn't good at this kind of thing.
If he could do it all over again, he would still raise his head and stick out his chest in front of Jiang Junling and not give in. If someone scolded him, he would scold him back. If someone slapped him, he would slap him back dozens of times — this was his spirit, his pride, and the code of conduct and ethics that he had adhered to since he was young.
The biggest difference between him and Bai Xiu was that Bai Xiu could endure humiliation and let his face dry. But Fang Yan wouldn't. He wouldn't endure humiliation, because he believed that enduring would only bring him more humiliation. He wouldn't bear any weight, because too much weight would suppress his Heart of Tai Chi. He wouldn't let the saliva on his face dry by itself, he would smear the other party's face with saliva — —
Some people scolded him for being a pervert, some said that he was despicable, and some even said that he was a bitch all the time — —
But, did he do anything wrong?
"If I could do it all over again — —" Fang Yan looked into Fang Huwei's eyes and said firmly: "I believe that I can do better."
"If you didn't do anything wrong, then it's someone else's fault — —" Fang Huwei said with a serious expression. "Would I blame my grandson for doing a few good things? Maybe other people's parents would do that, but our Fang family doesn't have such family rules and teachings. "
"I know what to do now," Fang Yan said with a serious expression.
"Be brave, be fearless, and stick to your heart," Fang Huwei said. "What the heart thinks is what the person wants. Only in this way, the spirit of Tai Chi will not be extinguished, and the Heart of Tai Chi will be eternal — — The reason why you obtained your heart at such a young age is because you have been living freely all these years and never disobeyed the laws of heaven and humanity. If anyone is retaliated against because of this — — I am willing to be a martyr on the path you seek. "
Fang Yan stood up and bowed deeply to Fang Huwei.
"It's not because I'm kind and selfless — —" Fang Huwei looked at Fang Yan, his old eyes filled with joy and said: "It's because you are my grandson. That's all. "
Fang Yan had been sitting in the Ye family's hall for half an hour, but no one from the Ye family came out to entertain the guests. Xi 'er, the maid of the Ye family, said that she would go in to report, but there was no more news.
What's more infuriating is that you should at least pour a cup of tea for the guests before you leave, right?
Fang Yan was not in a hurry. He knew that the Fang family and the Ye family had not been on good terms over the years, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they had a "deep hatred."
Because of Grandpa Fang's manipulation and instigation, every time Fang Yan and Ye Rou fought, it was like adding fuel to the fire in the hearts of the two families. If what Grandpa said was true, then the Fang family, or Fang Yan, did indeed owe the Ye family a huge favor.
Most importantly, on the eve of his battle with the Japanese Sword God Chiba, Ye Rou rushed thousands of miles to help — — although it was said that she was entrusted by the old drunkard, she still rushed to Huacheng and gave Fang Yan the greatest support with her own strength.
Fang Yan was grateful to the Ye family, and even more grateful to Ye Rou.
After parting in Huacheng, the two of them had not seen each other for a long time. Fang Yan really wanted to talk to Ye Rou. His Taiji heart had entered the "Starlight" realm, how to develop in the future, which direction to cultivate in, these were all difficult problems for him to solve. Ye Rou was known as the number one genius of the younger generation in the Inner Pugilistic World, and also a pioneer on the path of cultivation. She would definitely be able to give him a lot of suggestions and solutions.
Clang clang clang — —
Fang Yan knew that this was the sound of shoes stepping on the floor. However, if someone didn't know better, they would definitely think that a big monster had come out from some deep forest to harm people.
As expected, Ye Fengsheng, who looked the least like a member of the Ye family, walked out casually.
He glanced at Fang Yan from the corner of his eyes and said while gritting his teeth, "You're here to see my cousin?"
Ye Fengsheng was the son of the second of the three tigers of the Ye family, Ye Daoxian, and also Ye Rou's cousin. The members of the Ye family all had excellent genes. The men were handsome and the women were beautiful. However, when it came to Ye Fengsheng, the genes had mutated. Not only was he fat, but he was also ugly. Therefore, when he was young, everyone had been arguing over whether to call him "Little Fatty" or "Little Clown". In the end, they even started fighting.
Fang Yan was a firm supporter of "Little Fatty" because he felt that calling someone "Little Clown" was too insulting. He wouldn't do such a thing.
Fang Yan pointed at the mountain-like pile of gifts on the table and said, "Do you think this is the style of someone looking for your cousin?"
"Oh, a hundred year old ginseng, a big box of cordyceps, and a pair of deer ears — — what's going on? Is your Fang family here to propose marriage? Even if you're here to propose marriage, it should be Elder Fang himself, right? "Ye Fengsheng flipped through the pile of gifts and said with a smile. "You're not qualified."
"Whether I'm qualified or not is not up to you to decide. Whether you're qualified to receive me is up to me to decide." Fang Yan stared at Ye Fengsheng with an unfriendly gaze and said, "I came to visit the elders of the Ye family, and they told you to receive me?"
"No one told me to come out to receive you," Ye Fengsheng said.
"Then why did you come out?"
"I saw that you looked quite pitiful sitting here by yourself, so I came out to talk to you — — what's going on? You don't want to? " Ye Fengsheng acted like he was about to leave and said, "If you don't want to, then I'm not going to keep you company. Today, I've asked Ruan Jing and Li Xiaotian to take care of the sparrows. You sit here first, I'm going to get busy — —"
"Wait," Fang Yan shouted.
Only then did Ye Fengsheng sit back down with a proud expression and said, "You don't feel good being ignored by the Ye family, do you?"
"I thought of it when I came here," Fang Yan said seriously. "Where's Elder Ancestor? Is she still in good health? I haven't seen her for a long time, at least let me kowtow to her when I see her, right? "
The Ye family was a rare family of four generations living under the same roof. The Elder Ancestor was Ye Wen Rou and Ye Fengsheng's great-grandmother, an old woman who had already lived for more than a hundred years. Even now, the old woman's teeth were still very good, and her mind was quick. When the weather was good, she could still be seen looking around and walking around Swallow Dock — —
If Fang Yan could see her and please her, she could help put in a few words, and the grudge between the two families would be resolved. Fang Yan's trip would not be in vain.
"You want to see our Elder Ancestor? Don't even think about it. On such a cold day, she doesn't plan to go out in the Warm Room, and no one dares to let her out. "Ye Fengsheng mercilessly dispelled this idea of Fang Yan's.
"Then I'll go to the Warm Room and kowtow to her," Fang Yan said. "The Ye family's Warm Room, it's not like I haven't been there before — —"
"Hahaha — —" Ye Fengsheng pointed at Fang Yan and laughed, "You still dare to say you're not here to see my cousin?"
