Children were always better than those from other families. Therefore, there was a miraculous existence: children from other families.
For his good-for-nothing grandson to be able to marry the Heavenly Dao realm Ye Rou, it made Fang Huwei overjoyed.
"Fang Yan, our Fang family's Fengshui is really good. It's extremely good. Think about it. In the past century, how many Heavenly Dao realm experts have appeared in Swallow Dock? Two, in total, there were only two of them. They were the one who underestimated the enemy twenty years ago and the one who became gentle twenty years later. Both of them were members of the Fang family and had a close relationship with the Fang family. "
"Although our Fang family has only one descendant, every generation is an outstanding elite. Although outsiders think that each generation is worse than the last, twenty years ago, due to Azure Dragon Underestimating Enemy's existence, our Fang family was not to be belittled. This time, if what you say is true and reliable, and Ye Rou is really willing to marry you — no, willing to marry into our Fang family, then our Fang family will have another Heavenly Dao realm expert. When we return from underestimating our enemy, our Fang family will have two Heavenly Dao realm experts holding down the fort — "
Old Man Fang's face flushed red as he danced in joy. He was so excited that he couldn't even speak properly.
"Two Heavenly Dao realm experts. How powerful would that be? There are only a few Heavenly Dao realm experts in all of Hua Xia. At that time, even if you were an idiot, no one would dare belittle you — "
"Grandpa —" Fang Yan was very displeased with the old man's words. Why did he become an idiot? Although his current martial strength was a little weak, and his Heart of Taiji had yet to fully recover, he couldn't be considered an idiot, right? He still had a mind that was good at scheming, and he had the intelligence to devise strategies. He also had a handsome face and an outstanding bearing.
How could he be an idiot?
Old Man Fang Huwei completely ignored Fang Yan's displeasure and continued expressing his joy. "Do you know what it means for Ye Rou, who is at the Heavenly Dao realm, to marry into our Fang family? It means that our Fang family will rise again. It means that no one will dare to bully our Fang family again. It means that your battle with the General family — that bunch of bastards will have to consider if they can withstand the revenge of our Fang family's women — "
"Grandpa —"
"You shut up!" Fang Huwei shouted. "Fortunately, he's gentle, affectionate, righteous, and broad-minded. He doesn't care about what you've done outside. Otherwise, wouldn't this great marriage be ruined by you? Do you know how much effort I've put into making this marriage happen? Do you know how they treated me the first time I went to challenge the Ye Family? She didn't care about you at all. If I didn't ask Ye Rou to beat you every year, and sometimes a few more times, how could you two have such a deep relationship? Can you get to where you are today and win the heart of a beauty? Behind every successful grandson, there must be a grandfather who silently contributes — "
"Grandpa —"
"Go and call your mother over." Fang Huwei waved his hand at Fang Yan and said, "I have to discuss with her who to find as a matchmaker. I also have to ask Sir to help me find a good date to send the betrothal gifts. It would be best if he can calculate the date of the wedding. By the way, we also have to think of a good matchmaker. The Ye Family is not an ordinary family now. The matchmaker must have some weight. Why are you still standing there? Go quickly. "
"Grandpa, you have a granddaughter-in-law and you have forgotten your grandson. Besides, you haven't married your granddaughter-in-law yet."
Only then did Fang Huwei take a serious look at Fang Yan. He chuckled and said, "I've told Wen Rouwen that if you make that kind of emotional mistake again, she doesn't need to do anything. I'll punish you according to the family rules —"
"—"
Fang Yan went to call his mother Lu Wan. Lu Wan was very happy to hear that Ye Rou agreed to marry him. Yes, she did say so. Then she began to discuss with Fang Huwei about who to find as a matchmaker, what betrothal gifts to send, and when to set the date of the engagement and the wedding.
Fang Yan stood there for a long time and found that he was completely invisible.
He was a little confused. Wasn't he the one who was going to get married? Why didn't anyone ask for his opinion?
"I might go back on my word," Fang Yan thought to himself.
Soon, he shook his head and gave up the idea.
I'm just being reserved. If I can marry Ye Rou, I'm willing to be beaten by her every day.
Winter hadn't come yet, and the first snowflake was still far away. But Mr. Fang had already put on a thick gray robe, as if he couldn't stand the early cold in the hollow of Swallow Dock.
Mr. Fang carried a dung basket on his back and a dung bag in his hand. He casually picked up the dung from the animals at the foot of the road while talking to Fang Yan.
"Rou Rou is still ahead of you." There was a comfortable smile on Mr. Fang's face, which was a compliment to the outstanding achievements of the younger generation of Swallow Dock. "People used to say that Ye Rou was a rare martial arts prodigy in Swallow Fort. That's right, but it's also wrong. Seeking for martial arts is a mysterious thing. Some people take the first 99 steps, but they get stuck at the last step, and it's hard for them to take the last step in their lifetime. Some people fall behind by 99 steps, but the latecomers catch up, as if they took the 100 steps in one night — "
"At that time, there were four people in Swallow Dock who stood on the same level — you, Ye Rou, Baili Lu, and Bai Xiu — I'm not praising Bai Xiu because he is my apprentice, but because he really has the talent in this area and can give people enough expectations — and you can't deny that he worked harder than the three of you —"
Fang Yan nodded and said, "I don't deny that. Bai Xiu worked harder than us — he wasn't a member of Swallow Dock, and he couldn't integrate with us. Because he came from the outside, and because he was too outstanding or too hardworking, we all ostracized him, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Perhaps this was also the cause of everyone's deep resentment. At that time, we were indeed too young and impetuous, and did a lot of things wrong — "
"What choice did we have at that time?" Mr. Fang shook his head and sighed. "It's natural for young people to fight and quarrel. Even ordinary young children will quarrel for years and not speak. What's more, this is Swallow Dock. If you're not convinced, I won't admit defeat. Isn't that a very normal thing? It's still the mentality. If the mentality is crooked, the steps will also be crooked. Swallow Dock can't tolerate him. "
Mr. Fang picked up a pile of dried cow dung on the ground and carried the dung basket forward.
"But now, only Ye Rou has stepped onto the Heavenly Dao, becoming the youngest Heavenly Dao realm expert in Swallow Dock. So, she's ahead of all of you — this is a great thing for Swallow Dock. How many years has it been since Swallow Dock had a Heavenly Dao realm expert? It wasn't easy for us to have someone like Mo Qingdi, but in the end, we encountered such a thing. So, when Daowen came to me to ask Swallow Dock to celebrate this matter for three days, I agreed immediately. With such a thing happening, I'd be happy even if it's a thirty-day celebration — "
Fang Yan nodded and said, "It's indeed something to be proud of. Gently stepping onto the Heavenly Dao is very beneficial to us. Baili Lu has been like a madman for the past few days, trying to find a way to break out of the cage — "
"Such matters can't be rushed. It comes naturally and goes with the heart," Mr. Fang said with a smile. "So, are you ready to marry Teng Nuan?"
"That's the case," Fang Yan said with a nod. Then, he looked up at Mr. Fang and asked, "Does Mr. Fang already know?"
"I knew a long time ago," Mr. Fang said.
Fang Yan smiled and said, "I've troubled everyone regarding Gentle and me."
"It is indeed troublesome," Mr. Fang said with a nod. "Before you came back, Wen Nuan came to see me —"
"Oh?" Fang Yan looked at Mr. Fang with a puzzled gaze and asked, "What did Gentle look for you for?"
"She said she wanted to marry you," Mr. Fang said.
"Back then, why did she look for you to say this?"
"You should know what Gentle's ascension to the Heavenly Dao means to the Ye family, right?"
"I know." Fang Yan nodded. "The Ye family's reputation is rising again. No one can stop it."
"That's right," Mr. Fang said with a smile. "The Ye family's development these years has been too smooth and too rapid — not only is it unstoppable in Swallow Dock, but it has also formed its own faction in the outside world and become a behemoth. The three tigers of the Ye family have outstanding abilities, but they are low-key and introverted. It must be easy for you to overlook Ye Daoling's influence in the political world and Ye Daoxuan's power in the military, right? "
Fang Yan's mind turned and he looked at Mr. Fang and said, "Gentle is worried?"
"On the one hand, Gentle is a little worried. Although the men of the Ye family look like mountains and rivers on the surface, they are extremely tough in their bones, proud and awe-inspiring, and not easily subdued. The development of the Ye family is naturally a good thing for the Ye family. But blessings and misfortunes go hand in hand. Who can be sure that this is not a bad thing? Gentle wants to put a brake on the Ye family, so she has to leave the Ye family — the best way to leave the Ye family is to marry into your Fang family. "
Mr. Fang looked at Fang Yan and said, "The Fang family used to be glorious, especially during the period of Don't Underestimate the Enemy. They even walked to the peak of glory — unfortunately, Underestimate the Enemy fell due to injuries, and the Fang family once again fell to the low level. These years, the Fang family's luck has not been good. Yi Xing died in battle, and your heart of Tai Chi is also fluctuating and uncertain — so, at this time, Ye Gentle marrying into your Fang family is the best of both worlds. "
"Mr. —" Fang Yan's face was burning with pain. He said, "You mean — I'm a burden?"
"You can't say that —" Mr. Fang said as he strode forward with the manure basket. "It's just luck. You don't have too much psychological pressure. Gentle is a good child. Even if she enters the Fang family's door — I'm sure she won't treat you too badly — "
