A family was equivalent to a fruit tree, and the members of the family were the fruits of the tree.
Most of the fruits on the fruit tree of the family were the type with ordinary aptitude. They were not pleasing to the eye, and hated to taste.
This was also the reason why ordinary people or ordinary families occupied the majority of the world. This was the foundation of society, the base of the pyramid.
A few of the fruit trees of the family would have one or two geniuses with above average aptitude. They could not lead the whole family to charge forward, and they were far ahead of the other children of the family, neighbors, and friends. Therefore, these people were the object of envy.
Some lucky clans would have several big and sweet fruits on their fruit trees. Like the Ye Clan, where the three tigers advanced side by side, the three tigers took the lead to attack the city and pillage the stronghold, while the other clans' disciples waved flags and shouted war cries to support the attack. This kind of clan was extremely rare. Once they appeared, they could become the best in their field. For example, the families on the wealth list every year, they jointly controlled billions of funds through blood ties.
The Fang family had a strange talent!
All the people of Swallow Dock said so.
The Fang Clan was not a top-notch clan in Swallow Dock. Not to mention a colossal clan like the Ye Clan, the Fang Clan was slightly inferior to the Ruan Clan where Ruan Qian was from, the Zhu Clan where Zhu Zidan was from, and the Li Clan where Li Xiao Tian and Li Long were from.
The biggest reason for this situation was that the Fang Clan did not have many descendants, and they did not have many sons.
Old man Fang Huwei had at least one brother. When it came to the generation of Fang Yan's father, Fang Yixing, there were only one boy and three girls. The three aunts had married off, and Fang Yixing had died in battle. The backbone of the Fang family at the entrance of Swallow Dock was suddenly wiped out. This was also why the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the Fang family fell on the shoulders of a young man like Fang Yan. He was the same age as Ye Fengsheng, Li Xiaotian, and the others, but he had already shouldered the responsibility of Ye Daoling and Ye Daowen's generation. Wasn't it natural for him to work harder than others?
Old Master Fang Huwei was a martial arts prodigy. Fang Clan's Tai Chi Kung Fu, which was famous for its gentleness, was modified by him. He infused it with a strong and forceful force, turning it from a 'strong body' into an invincible 'killing technique'. Even Mo Qingdi and Fang Yan were deeply influenced by this Kung Fu.
Fang Huwei was already famous at a young age, and the people he associated with were the best in the inner river. Later, he was chosen by a leader within the Red Wall and became the Emperor's personal guard.
Fang Huwei's legs were paralyzed in the prime of his life and he became half a cripple.
On the other hand, Fang Huwei's only son, Fang Yixing, was not proficient in martial arts, but was rather interested in calligraphy and painting. The Fang family sank to the bottom of the valley.
However, the Fang family had produced someone like Mo Qingdi!
Strictly speaking, Mo Qingdi could not even be considered as a true member of the Fang Clan. He was merely a disciple that Fang Huwei had taken in from the outside when he was young. However, as he practiced, he was able to comprehend the Dao through martial arts and became one of the Three Dragons of Hua Xia, the Azure Dragon.
Not only the entire Swallow Dock, but even the entire Pugilistic World and Hua Xia had a whole new level of respect for the Fang Clan.
Don't underestimate the enemy. When they were at their peak, who would dare to speak harshly to the Fang Clan?
At that time, the Fang family was in the limelight. Even the Three Tigers of the Ye Clan, who were shining brightly now, were suppressed by Mo Qingdi to the point that they could barely breathe. There was no chance for them to stand out at all.
Misfortune never came alone. When Mo Qingdi was at his peak, he accepted the challenge of the Dragon God and his tendons were cut off by the Dragon God.
Just when everyone looked down on the Fang Clan again, some people sighed, and some people were gloating, Fang Yan stood up. Fang Yan comprehended the heart of Tai Chi in his twenties.
No one dared to look down on the Fang Clan, but there was no way to pay too much attention to the Fang Clan.
It was like the fruits of a fruit tree. Most of them were thin and ugly, but there was a chance that one of them would mutate and become the most dazzling one in the entire forest.
Fang Huwei was like that in the past, Mo Qingdi was like that later, and Fang Yan was like that now.
Ye Daoling lived in Yanjing most of the time, and there was a huge gap in age and seniority. There was little contact between the two.
However, he didn't dare to have the slightest contempt for this old man.
Not to mention his identity as the Emperor's Guard, he shamelessly ran to the Ye Clan to challenge them. In the end, Ye Rou forced his precious grandson, Fang Yan, to use the heart of Tai Chi. Just take this investment as an example, he was also extremely foresighted, right?
Not to mention the current emotional entanglement between the two young people, which caused so much trouble for the Ye Clan.
Hearing Fang Huwei say, "Daoling, our Fang Clan is weak, and we can't let others bully us, right?", Ye Daoling knew that this old man was ready to bully others. The Fang Clan had this kind of ability. Even when they were in a weak position, they could always bully others as they wished.
For example, himself!
Ye Daoling looked at Fang Huwei and said with a smile, "Old man, what happened last night was something that no one wanted to see. We have some misunderstandings towards Fang Yan, and we owe him something. You're right, your Fang Clan doesn't owe anyone anything. My position was taken by Fang Yan for me. I don't know what to do to thank Fang Yan, but if there's something I can do, I naturally won't refuse. "
Fang Huwei nodded with a smile and said with a straight face, "The Ye Family is capable, and the Ye Family is also moral. Everyone is well aware of this. We don't need you to do anything special for our Fang Family. Although the Fang Clan is weak, we still have a bowl of rice to eat. I just hope that when the Fang Clan is being bullied, the Ye Clan can stand on the side of fairness and speak up for our Fang Clan. This isn't difficult, right? "
Ye Daoling smiled bitterly and said, "Old man, this is indeed difficult."
"Why? Daoling is unwilling? "Fang Huwei looked at Ye Daoling and asked.
"I know it's not easy." Ye Daoling put away the smile on his face and said, "But our Ye Clan is duty-bound."
Fang Huwei reached out to pat Ye Daoling's arm, but thinking of his current position, he raised his hand in the air and didn't put it down.
Ye Daoling smiled and squatted down. He said, "Old man, come, I'll push you out for a walk. I haven't chatted with you for a long time."
"How can one have so much time to gossip with others when one is in an official career?" Fang Huwei said with a smile, "Caring for the people of the country is a hundred times better than caring for an old man like me. Daoling, I appreciate your kindness. No need, go and do your work. I know you have a lot of things to do. "
Ye Daoling pondered for a moment and said, "Old man, then you sit here and bask in the sun. I'll go back and make some preparations."
"Go." Fang Huwei nodded and said, "It's time to make some preparations."
Fang Yan was seriously injured.
At least, that's what he told others.
Fang Yan felt that his body was empty. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't muster any strength. He felt that he had lost all his martial arts and became a trash who could no longer practice martial arts.
That's what he told the Ye Clan.
Ye Fengsheng stood at the head of Fang Yan's bed, his eyes sweeping over Fang Yan's face and body. It was like a brilliant policeman was examining a suspect he had caught.
"Hahaha" Ye Fengsheng laughed.
Fang Yan looked up at Ye Fengsheng and said, "I'm already injured like this, what's so funny?"
"You really lost your strength?" Ye Fengsheng asked.
"Really." Fang Yan nodded seriously.
"Stop it." Ye Fengsheng said with a smile. "You just don't want to go back? You just want to stay in our Ye Clan? You just want to see my sister a few more times? Is there a need to make yourself look so pitiful? "
"I'm telling the truth." Fang Yan said seriously.
The smile on Ye Fengsheng's face disappeared. He looked at Fang Yan seriously again and said, "You're not joking with me, are you?"
"Do you think I'm joking with you?"
"You really don't have any martial arts left?"
Fang Yan sighed softly and said, "I've lost it temporarily. I don't know what will happen in the future. You won't look down on me, right?"
Ye Fengsheng was stunned for a moment and said anxiously, "Why would I? We're brothers. Whether you know martial arts or not, we're all brothers. Ruan Qian's martial arts aren't good, but we've never looked down on him. You have to leave quickly, you can't stay in Swallow Dock any longer. Otherwise, when Sir Shen unleashes his power, it'll be very dangerous for you to stay here. You can't go back to Flower City either, it's also very dangerous there. We'll go to North Sea, where there aren't many people. It won't be easy for them to find us. Zi Dan is there, I'll go with you. If anything happens, us brothers can take care of each other. "
"Call Lil 'Tian, Ruan Qian, and the rest to go with us. When we're free, we can catch birds and hunt for rabbits as an ambush from ten sides," Fang Yan added.
Ye Fengsheng threw a punch at Fang Yan's face and scolded, "Fang Huohuo, you idiot. You're joking about something like this?"
Fang Yan tilted his head to dodge Ye Fengsheng's attack and explained, "I was hoping that you could cooperate with me. With your personality, if I told you that I'm fine, wouldn't you show all your emotions on your face? Everyone in your family is smart. They only need to take a look at you to know what kind of situation I'm in. If I didn't act more seriously, they would have already chased me out of the house, right? "
Ye Fengsheng thought about it and accepted Fang Yan's reason. He said, "My sister's body is weak now, she won't be able to leave the house for a while. It'll be good for you to stay with her. However, you don't have to go to Sir's place for the time being, right?"
Fang Yan was silent for a long time, then said in a low voice, "The Beauty Cave is the best place to wear down a man's willpower. After seeing gentleness, I suddenly lose interest in everything."
"Because I see things that are too beautiful, I hope that those ugly things that people don't want to accept will come later, or even never have to face them. However, I still have to face them in the end."
