Fang Yan had always felt that he was the youngest, most handsome, and fair-skinned successor of the Fang Tai Chi. Why did others feel that he was pitiful and deserving of sympathy?
He could be Fang Yan, the Fang Yan who fought against the Qianye Military Department, the Fang Yan who killed the father and son of the Jiang family, the Fang Yan who forced Jiang Junling to be expelled from the family, the Fang Yan who killed the Tao Addict Song Zanyang, one of the Seven Addicts of Hua Xia, the Fang Yan of Tiger Saw Flower City, and the Fang Yan who fought against the Jiang family head-on. As an adult who had just come of age, achieving such achievements could be described as' blinding the eyes of others'.
Why was it that when it came out of everyone's mouths, they all seemed to despise it?
Could it be that there was a man more outstanding than him in this world?
Impossible!
Fang Yan swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, then looked at the teacher and said, "Sir, I think you have some misunderstandings about me —"
Hualala —
The teacher poured the feces in the basket into the manure pond in the backyard, then placed the basket in the corner of the wall. He rubbed his hands and pushed open the small wooden door. He washed his hands by the well in the yard, then took a black towel and wiped his face. Only then did he look at Fang Yan and ask, "What misunderstanding?"
"I think I'm quite powerful too," Fang Yan said.
"Hmm?" The teacher grinned and asked, "How are you powerful?"
"The Jiang family has always wanted to kill me, but they haven't been able to until now — so I'm very powerful. How many of the people the Jiang family wants to deal with are still alive and well? "Fang Yan said with a serious expression. "Moreover, I might not lose. Have you ever thought that the Jiang family might lose this time? If the Jiang family loses, what will the result be? How will other people look at this matter? What kind of expression will they use to look at me?
The teacher rubbed his wrinkled old face and nodded. "What you said is not impossible. I think you won't lose."
Fang Yan was overjoyed and asked, "Do you think I will win?"
"It's also hard to win," the teacher said. "You're in a dilemma now."
"—" Fang Yan began to dislike Sir. He had changed. He had become very strange, almost like his two masters. If you have something to say, can't you just say it all at once? Why did they have to make it so complicated?
The man didn't care about Fang Yan's disdainful look. He pushed open the door and walked in. He sat down on his old rattan chair as if his body was exhausted. He waved at Fang Yan and said, "Go pour me a cup of tea."
"Oh." Fang Yan responded. He saw a big teapot on the table and poured a big bowl of herbal tea from the teapot and handed it over.
The teacher didn't take it and shouted angrily, "You brat, you're too insensible. I'm already so old, and it's such a cold day, and you're giving me this kind of herbal tea? Aren't you afraid of freezing my body? If your grandfather asked you to pour tea, would you pour this kind of herbal tea for him? "
"—" Fang Yan's face was full of grievance. He knew that with Sir's martial arts cultivation, not to mention drinking a bowl of cold water, even if he was soaked in ice water 24 hours a day, it wouldn't freeze his body.
This old man was so unreasonable!
However, thinking of Sir's martial arts cultivation, Fang Yan didn't dare to offend him.
So, he quickly ran over and added half a bowl of hot water into the tea bowl.
Only then did Sir take a big gulp. He looked at Fang Yan and said, "Sit."
Fang Yan sat in front of Sir and said, "Sir, I'm from Swallow Dock. I've been bullied outside. You have to help me. "
Sir held the tea bowl and looked at Fang Yan, asking, "You want to borrow power?"
"I want to borrow a knife." Fang Yan said. "If the young and old of Swallow Dock unite, even ten families of Generals won't be enough for us to kill. We can kill our way to the Generals' old mansion in minutes. You and that old man Jiang Xifu are old friends, so I'll leave him to you. Although your martial arts are good, you have to be careful of him using a spear. I think people at his age can do anything shameless. "
"And then?"
"And then the Generals will disappear. We'll return to Swallow Dock and continue to live and work in peace." Fang Yan said with a smile.
"I can't promise you. You know I won't promise you. You're pushing Swallow Dock into a pit of fire. If Swallow Dock really did something like that, would it still be Swallow Dock? Would anyone still tolerate our existence and give us these privileges? "
"I'm just saying." Fang Yan rubbed his nose and smiled bitterly. "I just feel so suffocated. Others are already bullying us, but we can't do anything. We can only passively take a beating. This isn't our style. If those heroes who sacrificed themselves knew that their descendants were in such dire straits, do you think they'd be so angry that they'd come back to life and fight the Generals? "
"If the Generals were really unscrupulous, they wouldn't have only shown this little bit of power. Haven't you noticed? They've always been doing things within the rules. Whether it's touching Du Qing or suppressing the businesses of Chao Yan and your partners, they're all tactics that can be used in business competition. This is also why we can't stand out and say anything. Could it be that just because you came from Swallow Fort that others couldn't snatch or touch your business? Or maybe it's because the Generals have deep connections behind them that no one can compete with them head-on. This is obviously unreasonable. "
"But it's immoral for them to kidnap people." Fang Yan said angrily.
Master glanced at Fang Yan and said, "You killed the Tao Addict Song Zanyang. Will the Generals jump out and reason with you?"
"So, no one is actually willing to reason with us now."
"No. On the surface, everyone is reasonable. On the surface, they're not reasonable. In private, there are many things that can't be done."
"Master, you're not willing to come out?"
"Why do you need to come out?" Master smiled. "If you sit here and don't move, the people behind the Generals can't move either. If you move first, they'll follow suit. "
"That's true." Fang Yan sighed. Fang Yan's hands and feet were tied. The Generals also couldn't use more of their power. If he didn't have an existence like Swallow Dock behind him, they could probably do a lot of things to make him disappear into thin air.
Now that he had to act economically, he had to admit that they must be very uncomfortable.
"You're right about one thing," Master said.
"Which one?"
"You said you're very powerful," Master said.
Fang Yan grinned and said, "Master, do you really think so?"
"Do you know why I don't think you'll lose? Because I can't see through you. " Master finished half of the tea in his bowl, then handed the empty bowl to Fang Yan and said, "I've seen through so many people, but there are only two I can't see through. One is Bai Xiu, and the other is you."
"Master Zhang has a bad eye for people. I told you a long time ago that Bai Xiu wasn't a good person, but you didn't believe me. Now do you know why I kept my distance from him? "
"That's true," Master smiled bitterly. "But, I can see that you have a drive in your bones. This drive is very terrifying, it can make you do anything. Even if you suddenly defeated the Generals tonight, I wouldn't be surprised at all. Because I don't know what you can do, I can't even guess what you're planning. To get to where you are now, isn't it because of this drive? "
"I'm currently taking a beating" Fang Yan said. "The situation in Flower City isn't very optimistic. I'm planning to return tomorrow after seeing you. What kind of logic is that, leaving your friends behind? The men of Swallow Dock can't do such a thing. "
Master looked at Fang Yan and said, "You won't go back."
"Why do you say that, Master?"
"Because you didn't get anything."
"What?"
"You didn't get anything from this trip back to Yan Jing," Master said. "That's not your style."
"What do you mean, Master?"
"You came to Yan Jing at the most critical moment in Flower City, which means you must have some plans in Yan Jing. If you didn't get anything, why would you leave Flower City at this time?"
"Didn't I say that I came to Yan Jing to get reinforcements?" Fang Yan spread his hands and shrugged helplessly, saying, "I just didn't get any reinforcements."
"If you didn't come to Yan Jing, wouldn't you know the final result of this trip? Whether the Qin family will make a move, whether Qin Yitian will make a move — couldn't you have calculated all of this? "
"— —"
Master looked at Fang Yan thoughtfully and said, "Fang Yan, what do you want to do?"
Fang Yan looked at Master for a long while, then got up and bowed to Master, saying, "Thank you for your advice, Master. I know what to do."
With that, he turned and walked out of the door of the small house.
"Fang Yan —" Master called out.
Fang Yan turned to look at Fang Yan and asked, "Master?"
"I've already announced the news of Wen Rourou successfully climbing to the Heavenly Dao realm. Swallow Dock will celebrate for three days. I've also spread the news of you and Wen Rourou getting married, and the day of the wedding has been chosen. It'll be on the eighth of the twelfth lunar month. It'll be appropriate for you to get married.
Fang Yan stood in the yard and bowed to Master again, saying, "Thank you, Master."
Master waved his hand and said, "Go do what you need to do. You can lose, but you have to come back alive. If you're alive, there's hope. If you're dead, you're just a handful of dirt. "
Fang Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master. I definitely won't lose."
