The man raised his head and saw a person standing on the balcony on the second floor.
It was Fang Yu.
"I want to go in and see Akiko!" the man said.
"Let him in." Fang Yu said, then turned and left the balcony.
The attendant at the gate made way for the man to walk in.
"Just stay outside with your men," one of the attendants said.
The man's face changed slightly, but considering Fukuzawa Akiko's situation, he immediately turned his head and ordered his men: "You stay here and wait for me!"
After saying that, the man hurriedly walked into the house.
As soon as he entered the hall, the man saw Fukuzawa Akiko sitting on the sofa with her head lowered.
"Mingzi!" The man stepped forward.
"Father..." Fukuzawa Akiko looked excited when she saw the man.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps.
Fukuzawa Akiko shuddered and her expression immediately changed.
Fang Yu walked to the hall, saw the middle-aged man, and smiled: "Are you Fukuzawa Akiko's father?"
"I... am Fukuzawa Liangsheng." The man looked at Fang Yu and replied.
"Oh, your daughter is a princess, then you must be a prince." Fang Yu said.
"I can give you whatever you want, but you must let my daughter go!" Fukuzawa Liangsheng stared at Fang Yu and said, "I heard about your actions at the Royal Mansion, and I know that you are very strong...
…But this is Dongri Island after all, if you are unfavorable to Akiko, we will make you pay the price even if we spend everything we have!"
"Don't get excited, sit down and talk slowly." Fang Yu walked to the sofa opposite and sat down.
Fukuzawa Ryōsei glanced at Fukuzawa Akiko, held her hands, and said, "Don't be afraid, father will never let you get hurt."
"First of all, I want to know, do you know about their plan tonight?" Fang Yu looked at Fukuzawa Liangsheng and asked.
"Plan?" Fukuzawa Yoshio frowned.
"It's just to provoke me into taking action, and then use public opinion to threaten the Beidu Martial Arts Association's plan." Fang Yu said bluntly.
Fukuzawa Liangsheng frowned, with doubts in his eyes, and shook his head: "I don't know what the plan you are talking about is."
"Then after your daughter walked on the stage, why did she suddenly mention my and Zheng Ze's names and ask us to go on stage?" Fang Yu looked at Fukuzawa Akiko and asked.
Fukuzawa Akiko's delicate body trembled again, her head lowered and she did not dare to speak.
"I'm not that scary, am I? Don't worry, as long as you answer my questions honestly, I will never do anything." Fang Yu said.
Liangsheng Fukuzawa looked at Akiko Fukuzawa, reached out and patted her back, and said: "Akiko, answer truthfully."
Fukuzawa Akiko raised her head, on the verge of tears, and replied: "Well, before the banquet started... when Priest Kinoshita found me and asked me to come on stage later... I added an extra paragraph temporarily. The content of the words... was an invitation.
You come on stage."
"So... you were just used as a gun?" Fang Yu leaned forward, stared at Fukuzawa Akiko, and asked.
Fukuzawa Akiko was so scared that she bit her lips tightly, but her eyes did not dodge.
Fang Yu recalled that Fukuzawa Akiko did not show any obvious malice at that time.
Combined with her current performance, it is indeed very likely that Kinoshita Matsunaga was kept in the dark and exploited.
Obviously not everyone in the royal family is interested in the ancient ruins in Yanxia.
Fang Yu also didn't want to pursue the person behind the scenes.
What he is interested in now... is still the so-called big snake family and the bloodline of the fallen dragon.
"Do you know much about the four Orochi families?" Fang Yu looked at Fukuzawa Liangsheng and asked.
"What do you want to know?" Fukuzawa Ryōsei asked.
He knew that if he wanted to take Fukuzawa Akiko away, he must cooperate with Fang Yu now.
"They are called the Four Orochi Families, but their surnames are different. According to rumors, the relationship between the four of them is very good... I want to know, what is the tie that connects them? In other words, they are Orochi.
What is the basis for bloodline?" Fang Yu asked.
Hearing this question, Fukuzawa Liangsheng's face changed slightly.
After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and replied: "The origins of the four Orochi families have been passed down a long time ago. Now these four families... have a history of more than five hundred years."
"No one knows where the serpent's bloodline comes from. This is a conclusion, so no one will doubt it."
"But one thing I know...the four of them have always worshiped the same temple, which is the Big Snake Temple."
Big Snake Temple?
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Where is the location?"
"You can search anywhere on the map. However, the Orochi Temple only accepts offerings from the four Orochi families, and outsiders cannot enter." Fukuzawa Yoshio said.
Fang Yu nodded lightly.
He must definitely go to the Big Snake Temple.
"I have told everything I know. This matter has nothing to do with us in the first place... I must take Akiko away." Fukuzawa Yoshio said.
"Of course you can take her away, but..." Fang Yu raised his right hand.
"bass!"
A white light streaked through the air and disappeared from Fukuzawa Akiko's forehead.
"You..." Fukuzawa Ryosheng's face changed drastically and he stood up.
"Don't get excited, it's just a mark." Fang Yu said.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Fukuzawa Ryōsheng asked with veins popping up on his forehead.
"After you go back, ask the royal family to silence the mouths of everyone in the royal residence tonight. Don't let out a single statement that is unfavorable to our Beidu Martial Arts Association." Fang Yu said, "If possible, you can also say something that is conducive to promoting Beidu.
The reputation of the Martial Arts Association is expressed in terms of our generosity and willingness to help others."
"As long as you do this, nothing will happen to Fukuzawa Akiko."
"This is already a very gentle approach. If I hadn't been wearing the name of the Beito Martial Arts Association, I would have demolished your royal palace tonight."
Seeing the coldness in Fang Yu's eyes, Fukuzawa Liangsheng's heart skipped a beat.
"I know, I will do it...please promise that you will not hurt Akiko." Fukuzawa Yoshio said.
"Okay, take her away," Fang Yu said.
After Fukuzawa Ryosei and his daughter left, Zheng Ze asked: "Mr. Fang, what are we going to do next?"
"Of course I'm going to visit the Big Snake Temple." Fang Yu said.
"...When are you going?" Zheng Ze asked.
"Get some sleep first and go tomorrow morning." Fang Yu said.
…
The next morning.
Fang Yu and Zheng Ze went out, while the four followers stayed at their residence.
The two of them got into a taxi and went directly to the Big Snake Temple.
"Mr. Fang, tell me... can the royal family hold back what happened last night?" Zheng Ze asked while sitting in the car.
"It should be possible. Those people don't have the courage to spread rumors to begin with. If the royal family warns them again, there shouldn't be a big problem." Fang Yu said, "Even if a small amount of rumors leak out, it will have little impact. Just reassure Huaixu.
"
After almost an hour's journey, the taxi stopped.
This is a lonely road.
"Follow the path along the roadside and keep going in, and you will see the Big Snake Temple." the driver said.
Zheng Ze paid the fare.
"Are you two from the four Orochi families?" the driver looked at Fang Yu and Zheng Ze and asked.
"No, I came here for sightseeing." Fang Yu replied.
"Then you should be careful...you can only walk around the outside of the temple, and don't get too close, otherwise you will be expelled from the temple and you will have a headache for several days when you go back!" the driver warned.
"It's so powerful, have you tried it before?" Fang Yu asked.
"It's not me. How could I have such time? Some tourists who are as curious as you come here, and they are usually taken away by ambulances..." the driver said.
"Okay, thank you for reminding me." Fang Yu said.
According to what the driver said, Fang Yu and Zheng Ze walked all the way inside along the path beside the highway.
It was nine o'clock in the morning, which was still early and the surrounding temperature was relatively low.
The surfaces of the plants along the roadside were covered with a thin layer of frost.
Along the way, I didn't see anyone else.
The further you go inside, the fewer traces of the city around you.
After walking for about ten minutes, an ancient walled building appeared within sight.
This...should be the Big Snake Temple.
Fang Yu and Zheng Ze quickened their pace and soon reached the gate of the Big Snake Temple.
There was still no one around.
But Fang Yu knew very well that there were many people inside the temple at this moment.
He could sense that the dozens of auras emanating from the temple contained a touch of sacred power.
In order not to alert others, Fang Yu did not release his consciousness.
