Chapter 730: Chapter 800, Secret Talks in the Courtyard

Old servant Zhou Quan, originally at the Human Level Seven, had reached an age where further progress was impossible. In Zhou Quan’s eyes, Fang Yi was still like the first time they met in the manor, someone he could easily crush.

However, as soon as Zhou Quan had made his move, he realized his mistake.

Fang Yi didn’t make any superfluous movements or adopt an overly focused defensive stance. He just threw a punch.

This punch was filled with immensely powerful True Qi. Fang Yi, at Heavenly Level One, could even counter Heavenly Level Two or even Three, let alone Zhou Quan, an old man whose Martial Arts journey had reached a dead end.

Old servant Zhou Quan was, unsurprisingly, sent flying, crashing into the black SUV. The force of the impact pushed the vehicle forward and Zhou Quan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood upon landing, his complexion pale as if his oil was all but spent.

"Impossible... how is this possible... you... you..." Zhou Quan was kneeling on the ground, facing Fang Yi as he did.

Fang Yi vividly remembered how, back in the manor in Moon City, Zhou Quan had insulted him in public, demanding he kneel and even threatening to break his legs. Back then, Fang Yi had stubbornly refused to kneil.

At that time, old servant Zhou Quan was extremely imposing, but now, he was in a pitiful state.

Fang Yi wasn’t someone who lacked respect for the elderly, yet for someone as vicious as Zhou Quan, Fang Yi had no regard. So what if he was old? With a heart so malicious, he had lived his years in vain.

Fang Yi paid no attention to Zhou Quan, who wore a look of disbelief, and instead turned his gaze back to Fang Tianqi. Throughout his exchange with Zhou Quan, Fang Yi hadn’t moved an inch.

Therefore, with one step forward, Fang Yi was standing in front of Fang Tianqi. noveldrama

Fang Tianqi’s expression darkened, "Fang Yi, just try and touch me!" Behind him, those few black-clad bodyguards suddenly bloated up.

The bodyguards, all wearing sunglasses, had eyes that changed color behind their shades, turning a fiery red. Coupled with their swelling bodies that seemed ready to burst through their clothes, they were somewhat frightening.

Shen Binnan came up behind Fang Yi, poking him with a slender white index finger and tilting her head toward the black-clad bodyguards, clearly asking for direction. Shen Binnan’s subtle movements did not go unnoticed by Fang Tianqi.

"Humanoid monsters from the God Transformation Alliance, Fang Tianqi, you really have gotten involved with them," Fang Yi said with a touch of mockery. "I wonder how the Fang Family would deal with you if they knew."

Fang Tianqi remained unflustered, "You should have known at the airport. If you wanted to tattle, you would’ve done so already, why wait until now?"

Fang Yi, "Even if I don’t tattle, do you think these humanoid monsters can protect you?"

Fang Tianqi, "I’d like to see them try."

Fang Yi’s pupils narrowed ever so slightly, but in the end, he chose not to strike, not out of fear, but because he had his own plans.

"What’s wrong, scared?" Fang Tianqi provoked.

"I told you, I won’t get angry easily," Fang Yi said indifferently. "Oh, right, I have a question."

"Let’s hear it?"

"This old thing has followed you for many years, hasn’t he?" Fang Yi glanced at old servant Zhou Quan.

By this time, Zhou Quan had already staggered to his feet, bewildered by Fang Yi’s words.

Fang Tianqi, "Indeed, he has followed me for over twenty years."

Fang Yi smiled, "Good. After following you for so many years, you just send him over to seek death. Fang Tianqi, you really outdid yourself."

Fang Tianqi’s expression remained unchanged, but old servant Zhou Quan frowned, a complex look in his eyes.

In fact, Fang Yi’s intention was quite straightforward—the power of those humanoid monsters was unfathomable. Fang Tianqi could have easily ordered them to move instead of Zhou Quan, yet he didn’t intervene, which was quite thought-provoking.

Fang Yi’s words were meant to incite, but he himself couldn’t be bothered to stir up trouble. Regardless of what Fang Tianqi and Zhou Quan thought, Fang Yi turned to Shen Binnan and said, "I won’t accompany you inside."

Shen Binnan nodded and headed toward the hotel. Fang Yi lit a cigarette and walked away with a flick of his head.

Just then, Fang Tianqi’s voice came from behind, "Fang Yi, my wedding is in two days, and I am very much looking forward to your counter-attack then."

Fang Yi paused for a moment but without turning around, he said, "Time will reveal all." Then he walked away.

...

To be more precise, only a day and a half remained of the one-month deadline; two days from now, Fang Tianqi would be marrying Shen Binnan, and this news had already spread among Tianjing’s upper echelons.

In the Fang Family, this matter was also of high priority, and even the old patriarch of the Fang Family was particularly attentive to it.

At noon, during a rest in the courtyard regardless of the severe cold weather or scorching heat, whether it was windy or raining, the old patriarch always lay there for an hour.

A stone table, a wicker chair—just that simple.

In the courtyard, apart from the old patriarch, there stood an old servant quietly like a withered tree in the distance. Despite his presence, one could hardly sense he was there, as if he didn’t belong to this world, as if he didn’t exist.

To reach this level of ability was a rare feat in the Mortal World.

"Sovereign Qing," the old patriarch called out suddenly.

The old man, like a withered tree, approached, "Master."

The old patriarch asked, "Where is the Azure Sovereign?"

The old man’s surname was Feng, his given name Cangyun.

Feng Cangyun shook his head.

The old patriarch, "The day after tomorrow is the wedding day of my fourth grandson. The invitation was sent to him, yet he doesn’t even respond."

Feng Cangyun, "He might be seeking a breakthrough."

The old patriarch narrowed his eyes slightly. "He’s already reached the Innate Realm; what breakthrough is he thinking of aiming for? Does he really think he can break through the restraints?"

Feng Cangyun, "With his abilities, he just might break through. It’s been over a hundred years since anyone in the Mortal World has succeeded. If he can, it would prove that there is another civilization above this world."

The old patriarch’s face showed a flash of excitement, but he soon smiled bitterly, "What does another civilization matter to me? That’s not my concern anymore; my days are numbered, and it’s a fool’s dream to think of cultivating now."

Feng Cangyun, "If the Immortal Pill Box could be found, Master, you could surely extend your life."

The old patriarch, "But that damn Immortal Pill Box disappeared over twenty years ago, and even though it resurfaced, it’s gone again. I hold no such hopes."

Feng Cangyun fell silent for a moment before saying, "Perhaps it is with that young man."

The old patriarch asked casually, "Which young man?"

Feng Cangyun, "Your long-lost grandson, the one the family always refers to as that... bastard." He deliberately enunciated the word ’bastard.’

The old patriarch’s expression instantly became somber.
