"Master, please have a sip of tea. You have been walking in the hall for an hour."
In an elegant living room, a beautiful woman who looked elegant and luxurious was holding a tea cup to persuade Fang Nianbai. There were also many silent Fang family members sitting next to her.
"Hey, I won't drink." Fang Nianbai blocked the tea cup handed by the beautiful woman and sighed: "This matter can't be solved. I can't even eat, so how can I have the energy to drink tea."
"Alas." The beautiful woman sighed, handed the tea cup to the maid standing aside and continued: "Didn't Yao'er say that she has found someone to help? Master, just..."
"Her!?" Before the beautiful woman could finish speaking, Fang Nianbai interrupted her, "Who can she, a little girl, find to help? How can she find someone with a greater background than the Xun family!?"
After Fang Nianbai finished speaking, he felt that he had lost his composure. He sighed and said, "Oh, it's my fault. I shouldn't have vented my anger on you. It's also my fault that I'm a useless father. I can't even protect my own daughter."
After hearing this, the beautiful woman couldn't help crying. She took out a brocade handkerchief from her arms and wiped her eyes, saying, "Oh, my poor daughter, why did she suffer such a disaster?"
At this time, a young woman sitting next to him suddenly said: "Master, madam, don't be too sad. After all, the other party is from a big family with Xuan Zun as the background. There will definitely be many benefits for Qiu Yao to marry him.
, she is just young and doesn’t understand yet..."
"Shut up!" Fang Nianbai turned to the young woman and shouted: "Does someone on our side want to benefit the Xun family!? Why do I want to make this family bigger and stronger? Isn't it just to make my children better?
Can I live the life I want? Now that I have to sacrifice Yao'er's happiness in order to save this family, it makes me very sad, and you are still saying such unconscionable things!"
The young woman didn't expect that the master's reaction would be so big. She was stunned for a moment, but soon she shouted aggrievedly: "What's the point of yelling at me! Things have already happened, and I also want everyone to think on the bright side.
Ah! Could it be that if we all hug each other and cry together, the matter can be solved!?"
"Okay! Okay! It's useless for me to be a master. It's all against me! It's all against me!" Fang Nianbai said and started to look around, as if he was looking for something to take advantage of.
When the young woman saw him, she knew that she had completely pissed off the master, and she quickly ran out of the hall crying.
As soon as Fang Nianbai saw the young woman running away, he didn't care whether he was taking advantage of her or not. He directly picked up a wooden horse that was originally for his granddaughter to play with and chased her out. He shouted while chasing: "Stop! Wait for me to fight."
After I finish you, please tell me how to think for the better!"
When the beautiful woman saw that the master was about to take action, she quickly hugged his waist and shouted: "Master! Calm down, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive."
"I'm very calm now! Let me go!"
While dragging the old man, the beautiful woman shouted to her sons who were at a loss what to do next to her: "Wen Yao! Tian Chen! Why are you still sitting there, stopping your father!"
Hearing their mother's call, the two looked at each other and had no choice but to come to help.
Seeing the entire hall in a state of chaos, Fang Qiuyao suddenly walked over and shouted: "Dad! What are you going to do?"
Seeing his daughter coming over, Fang Nianbai, who was holding the wooden horse with both hands, paused and couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said, "As a father... As a father, I'm sorry for you."
Qiu Yao stepped forward and took the wooden horse from her father's hand, and helped tidy up her father's coat. Qiu Yao said: 'Dad, didn't I say that this matter will turn around, so don't worry about it.'
Looking at his well-behaved and sensible daughter, Fang Nianbai stretched out his hand and patted her shoulders twice and said, "My father knows that you are a good child. I am not angry with anyone. It is useless to be angry with myself."
Seeing that her father still didn't believe her at all, Fang Qiuyao had nothing to do.
Yesterday afternoon, she was taking a medicinal bath at Tinglan Waterside, Liu Zijin and the others. When she came out, she saw her senior brother playing the Legend of the Black Dragon with the hall master. She didn't know when he came back.
After saluting her senior brother as usual, Fang Qiuyao heard her senior brother casually say something that made her freeze in place.
"I have already solved the Xun family's matter for you. Remember the reward we agreed on."
When Liu Zijin and the others were the first to react and let out bursts of cheers, Fang Qiuyao still stood there blankly.
Although she had complete trust in her senior brother, she was still completely stunned when she actually heard that his senior brother had helped her solve this great disaster. She had no idea what actions to use to express her surprise and surprise.
But there was only one thing she became more and more convinced of, and that was...
'Senior brother is indeed capable of anything!'
After receiving the good news, Fang Qiuyao immediately went home and told her father the news. However, when her father asked her in surprise who came to help, Fang Qiuyao refused to ask with a hesitant description.
He has always been said to be a mysterious master.
However, such words could not convince Fang Nianbai, so after the brief surprise, he regarded these words as his daughter's comforting words.
This also made Fang Nianbai feel more and more useless.
Not only could he not protect his daughter well, but he also asked his daughter who sacrificed for the family to make up lies to comfort him.
What a failure!
It was precisely because of this that he was so angry just now.
Seeing the protagonist arrive, the chaotic hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Fang Qiuyao with a heavy expression.
Fang Wenyao clenched his fists, stepped forward and said to Fang Qiuyao: "Sister! Don't worry, brother will practice hard! Then you will have a powerful master. If that person named Xun dares to bully you in the future! Brother, help you teach him a lesson!"
When Fang Tianchen heard this, he also came over and said, "Yes! Qiu Yao, don't worry, I will break through to Xuanling soon. If I can become the deputy sect leader as my disciple, I... I can also protect you!"
Fang Tianchen's words were a bit false. After all, their deputy sect leader was just Emperor Xuan, who was far different from Emperor Xuan. But at this moment, he really couldn't think of anything to say to comfort his sister.
At this time, the beautiful woman also came out and hugged Fang Qiuyao. She didn't say a word, she just hugged her, and the harder she hugged her, the harder she hugged her.
Feeling the increasingly heavy atmosphere, Fang Qiuyao was also helpless.
She can only silently enjoy the love these family members have for her.
"Master! Master! The Xun family is here! And there are quite a few people coming back this time!"
Just when the hall fell silent, the servant guarding the door rushed in and shouted, startling Fang Yan who was about to secretly take back his little wooden horse.
Hearing the servant's call, Fang Nianbai's expression was complicated, but he still patted his daughter on the shoulder and walked out of the hall.
Seeing this, the beautiful woman let go of her arms, took out her brocade handkerchief and wiped her tears, then said to Fang Qiuyao, "My mother can't help you."
After saying that, he followed Fang Nianbai and walked out.
When she heard that the Xun family had arrived, Fang Qiuyao believed that her senior brother had settled the matter, but after all, her senior brother was not here now, so she was still a little confused about their purpose.
'Don't panic! Since senior brother said it's okay, then it must be okay.'
Nodding, Fang Qiuyao was about to follow her parents, but was pulled back by Fang Tianchen.
"Qiu Yao, you... just stay in the house and let father handle the matters outside."
"Oh! Brother! Trust me, nothing will happen to me." After saying that, he broke away from Fang Tianchen and chased him out.
At this time, Fang Nianbai had just walked to the gate and saw a large number of people from the Xun family.
‘You just can’t wait...’
Fang Nianbai knew at a glance that this must be a group coming to get engaged. Although he was still very reluctant to part with his daughter, for the sake of the overall situation and the Fang family, he still had to put on a smile and greet them.
However, before he could speak, he saw an old man with a long beard walking up to him and holding his hand: "You must be the leader of the Fang clan, right? I've admired you for a long time, I've admired you for a long time..."
'you?'
Hearing this word, Fang Nianbai couldn't help but be stunned, a little confused as to what the situation was now.
'We're going to be a family, so why don't you say some kind words?'
"It's you, who are you?"
"Ouch, look at me, I didn't even introduce myself first. I'm rude, I'm really rude." After saying that, the long-bearded old man let go of Fang Nianbai's hands and said, "I am the head of the Xun family, Xun Wugu."
‘Head of the Xun family!?’
Fang Nianbai never expected that the person who was so polite to him just now was actually the patriarch of the Xun family! After all, the Xun family only did some small business with him. He had never seen the patriarch of the Xun family.
So I was a little confused for a while.
'How can the head of the Xun family be so polite?'
At the same time, the beautiful woman was also stunned. She had seen how arrogant and domineering the second young master Xun Ying was. Why was their patriarch so humble and polite?
Seeing that both of them were stunned, Xun Wugu quickly said: "You two, how about we go in first and talk?"
After understanding Xun Wugu's question, Fang Nianbai came to his senses and made a gesture of invitation: "Of course, please come in, please come in."
Watching her father welcome the Xun family's team into the door, Fang Qiuyao felt extremely confident after seeing the scene just now.
'These Xun people are so polite, it must be because of my senior brother!'
After welcoming all the Xun family members into the courtyard, Fang Nianbai looked at Xun Wugu and said, "I didn't know you were coming, so I didn't prepare anything. I immediately ordered my servants to prepare the banquet."
"No, no, no." Xun Wugu waved his hand, "No trouble, no trouble, we are here for one thing today, and we will leave as soon as we finish it."
After saying that, Xun Wugu said in a deep voice: "Liangjun! What are you doing standing there?"
In the team, a middle-aged man quickly took a step forward, saluted Fang Nianbai first, and then said: "Clan leader Fang, I, Xun Liangjun, all blame me for my incompetence in teaching my children, which is why I have caused you so much trouble."
After saying that, he turned around and shouted: "You traitor! Why don't you kneel down!"
Hearing his father's angry rebuke, Xun Ying trembled all over. He quickly stepped forward, knelt on his knees and kowtowed to Fang Nianbai: "Clan Chief Fang, Xiao Ke is so young and ignorant that he actually tried to marry your daughter in such a despicable way.
, and I said bad words to you, which is extremely presumptuous! Now under the guidance of his father, Xiaoke has repented and confessed, and I beg you to forgive me."
'What!?'
The Xun family's series of actions completely confused the Fang family.
He looked at the second son of the Xun family, who was so arrogant just a few days ago, but now he was trembling and kneeling in front of him.
Fang Nianbai had no idea what exactly happened.
But he still hurriedly stepped forward and said: "I can't do it, I can't do it!"
After lifting Xun Ying up from the ground, Fang Nianbai looked at Xun Wugu and said, "Clan Chief Xun, I believe there must be some misunderstanding between us. I don't want Mr. Xun to perform this great ceremony."
When Xun Wugu heard this, he immediately picked up the topic and said, "Yes! A misunderstanding, it must be a misunderstanding!"
Seeing Fang Nianbai's various reactions, Xun Wugu's heart that had been hanging around finally calmed down a little and gained some confidence.
'God bless, it seems that the sect master's good friend does not intend to kill our Xun family.'
While he breathed a sigh of relief, Xun Wugu couldn't help but think of that frightening moment in the morning.
As usual, he was sitting cross-legged in the backyard meditating and practicing, looking forward to entering the Xuanhuang realm as soon as possible.
But just after he completed his third mini-circle, a woodcock fell from the sky and landed in front of him.
Of course Xun Wugu knew that this was the messenger bird specially used by the sect leader, so his whole body immediately tensed up.
You must know that the sect master rarely contacts him in person. Most of the time, his Excellency, who is responsible for managing logistics, gives him instructions.
It can be said that it is definitely a great honor for him to receive a personal letter from the sect master.
Taking a deep breath, Xun Wugu saluted the snipe before taking down the letter.
Xun Wugu, who was holding the letter, was extremely excited. In just a few breaths, he thought a lot about what big event would make the sect master write to him personally...
‘Are you really going to promote me!?’
Xun Wugu has always been diligent and conscientious in handling the tasks assigned by the sect. He will never do nine points if he can do a ten-point task. The chief minister has always spoken highly of him.
Not long ago, the General Cabinet also said that Yuntong County was going to establish a new branch, and he thought he was quite suitable, so he immediately thought whether this letter would ask him to take charge of the overall situation there.
'call……'
Taking another deep breath, Xun Wugu slowly opened the letter.
There was not much content on the letter, just a few lines. However, after reading it, Xun Wugu felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his head was cold all the way to the soles of his feet.
Even my heart, which was pounding with excitement just now, almost stopped beating.
'How...how could this happen!?'
The content on the letter was very simple. The sect leader said that a good friend of his told him that a woman named Fang Qiuyao was being harassed by a junior member of their Xun family. If this matter was indeed true, he would deal with it quickly.
'Friends of the sect leader are harassing, hurry up...'
These words pierced Xun Wugu's heart like knives.
Since the sect master can personally write a letter to ask about this matter, it means that the sect master definitely has a close relationship with this good friend.
And who has a close relationship with the sect leader... who is not a powerful figure in the party!?
'You're in trouble, you're in big trouble!'
Realizing that the crisis was coming, Xun Wugu immediately rushed out of the yard and shouted to the housekeeper: "Quick! Call everyone in the clan back to me... Forget it, forget it! I'll call them myself!"
