&" Thinking that Fang Zhen would become his father-in-law soon, Lang Fei quickly opened his mouth to excuse him.
"Hmph..." After hearing Lang Fei's words, Xiaoyun snorted angrily and stopped holding on to Fang Zhen's braid.
Seeing this, Fang Zhen also got off the donkey along the slope, gave up his seat to Lang Fei and others, and sighed: "I heard the disciple's report that day and knew that you had come out of the valley, so I set off to meet you, but it was still late and I walked most of the way.
The journey has not been found. Mr. Lang, what happened to you? You have been delayed for so many days. Could it be that you were ambushed by those who covet the treasure of Qi Feng Valley?"
Lang Fei's face darkened when he heard this, and he said coldly: "It's true that he was ambushed, but it's a pity that he was not injured at the hands of others."
"What do you mean by this?" Fang Zhen frowned, and there was something in Lang Fei's words.
"Master, may I ask if the great elder and Fang Qingyun are here?"
Hearing this, Fang Zhen was shocked and said hesitantly: "You mean... you mean the person who attacked you is the Great Elder?"
Lang Fei smiled coldly and said: "That's right, Mr. Fang Ying actually attacked me regardless of his identity. If it weren't for the terrain of the river valley, Xue Ya and I might not have died in Qingming long ago."
As soon as he finished saying this, everyone in the hall was in an uproar. Xiaoyun jumped up and said angrily: "Okay, on the day Brother Fei disappeared, I felt that Fang Qingyun, who had returned safely, looked suspicious, but I didn't expect that it was really the crime of a traitor."
Seeing Xiaoyun looking over with an unkind expression, Fang Zhen's face instantly turned livid, and he said bitterly: "You old man Fang Ying, I have always respected you as an elder, but I'm afraid of affecting the unity of the clan, so you have to do a lot of things."
I have to bear with you, but I didn’t expect you to do this. You had previously joined forces with the two elders to plot a split, and now you want to use this matter to annoy the Dan sect and try to cut off our family’s future. You...you are really a beast who forgets his ancestors."
Fang Zhen revealed the great elder's trick in one word, and said to Fang Qingyan with an angry look on his face: "Yan'er, go and 'invite' all four elders."
"Yes, father." Seeing that Fang was shocked and really angry, Fang Qingyan did not dare to neglect, turned around quickly, and ran out the door at a trot.
At this time, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little strange. Lang Fei felt as if he was in a world of ice and snow, with strands of cold air emanating from Fang Zhen, whose face was as heavy as water. For a moment, everyone in the hall was silent, even Xiaoyun
He curled his lips and sat back on the chair.
Not long after, a person flashed out of the palace door, but it was the fourth elder. As soon as he entered, he saw Lang Fei sitting in the guest seat. "Hey, Mr. Lang, you came back safely?" When he saw Lang Fei just
Nodding, the fourth elder noticed Fang Zhen, who was sitting at the front seat with a livid face. Although he didn't know why, he knew that something big must have happened, so he didn't say anything and silently walked to the next seat and sat down.
Not long after the fourth elder sat down, the third elder also walked out of the door with a sullen face. When he saw everyone present, he seemed to know something and did not say anything. He also walked to the bottom and sat in front of the fourth elder.
.
Everyone in the hall was silent. After a while, no one was seen. From a distance, a panicked voice came from the courtyard: "It's not good, the first elder and the second elder... they all ran away."
.”
"Ouch!" Fang Zhen suddenly sat up from his chair and slapped the table, causing the exquisitely carved purple black wood Taishi table to shake off a corner. At this time, Fang Qingyan had also entered the hall. Seeing this, he immediately stopped.
He looked up, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said: "Father, I searched all over the mansion but couldn't find the first elder and the second elder. Later, I went to inquire about the disciples of the Guardian Array, and then I found out
You know, after the First Elder learned that Brother Lang Fei’s white tiger mount was back, he took Fang Qingyun and a few of his men out of the valley, and then the Second Elder also took a few of his cronies and left the valley on the pretext of going out to do business.”
"Two old men, scum who have forgotten their ancestors." Fang Zhen cursed angrily with his beard and hair growing.
"Master, what happened?" The fourth elder didn't know what was going on. Seeing him like this, he couldn't help but asked curiously.
Fang Zhen took a long breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and winked at Fang Qingyan.
"Si Lao Zhang, this matter is..." According to what Lang Fei just said, Fang Qingyan explained the whole story in detail.
"Is there such a thing?" The fourth elder couldn't help but raised his voice and said through gritted teeth: "They are trying to cut off our escape. If the Danmen are at odds with each other because of this matter, then there will be only one way left for the Fang family.
But if we leave, we will seek refuge in Lei Di Mountain. At that time, with Fang Qingyun’s relationship with Master Lei Yang, wouldn’t our Fang family become something in the hands of Elder He?"
"That's right." Fang Zhen said bitterly, "It's no use that he has been the eldest elder of the Fang family for so many years. Unexpectedly, he has the intention of betraying his ancestors. He is really the scum of our Fang family."
"Then should we go after them? I think they haven't left the country of Min yet. If we use the teleportation array passed down from our ancestors, we might be able to stop them."
After hearing the fourth elder's words, Fang Zhen pondered for a moment. At this moment, the third elder, who had been sitting quietly since entering without saying a word, suddenly stood up and said solemnly: "Fourth brother, this method is not advisable. First,
Not to mention that using the teleportation array passed down by our ancestors consumes a lot of spiritual stones, even if we catch up with the boss and the second, if they really want to escape, the three of us can't stop them."
When the fourth elder heard this, he tugged his beard angrily and said, "Third brother, is this so easy for them?"
Seeing Fang Zhen looking over in the same direction, the third elder shook his head and replied: "Actually, it's okay if they escaped. In this way, the Fang family will lose a lot of strength without them, but it will have no worries and the head of the family will not have to deal with it."
I am worried about the crisis of family division. Although this matter may be harmful in the short term, in the long run it will do more good than harm."
The fourth elder and Fang Zhen nodded repeatedly when they heard this, but Xiaoyun on the side stopped. She suddenly stood up again, pointed at the fourth elder, and said angrily: "Old man, according to what you said, brother Fei is like this
Is suffering in vain?"
"Well, little girl, please don't be anxious... just listen to me." In the past few days, Xiaoyun has been tossing everyone up and down in the Fang family like crazy. How could the third elder not know her temperament yet, seeing her now?
He jumped out and added hurriedly: "I have a plan to help the young man vent his anger."
"Old man, if Brother Fei is dissatisfied, don't blame me for falling out with you."
The third elder's face turned green and he smiled bitterly and said: "It is true that Fang Qingyun is the disciple of Master Lei Yang, but as far as I know, Master Lei Yang has as many as fifteen disciples, and the most respected person is not him, but Lei Yang.
Yang Shangren's own grandson Su Qinghe. Didn't Fang Qingyun enter Qifeng Valley this time? We might as well let the outside world know that he got a treasure in the valley because he wanted to dedicate it to Lei Di Mountain. Our Fang family
I didn't dare to get involved. This matter has been reported to the outside world, so when Fang Qingyun returns to Lei Di Mountain, do you think he will offer a treasure or not?"
"Well, you are the third child. No wonder the juniors call you the old fox in private. Your move is so underhanded." Not only the fourth elder, but also Fang Zhen nodded repeatedly, and Lang Fei and the others below also all did the same.
Smiling evilly, Zhu Ganglie even narrowed his eyes and looked at the third elder with a wide smile, murmuring to himself: "This old man is very suitable to Master Zhu's taste."
After hearing this plan, although Xiaoyun felt that it was a good idea, she still said reluctantly: "Old man, isn't this too advantageous for them? Brother Fei almost lost his life because of them, but now he is just plotting against them.
, don’t do it, don’t do it.”
"Xiaoyun, don't make trouble. I will personally pay back Fang Ying and Fang Qingyun's accounts one day. Don't embarrass the third elder again."
Seeing Lang Fei speak, Xiaoyun stuck out her tongue and made a face at him, then let the third elder go and sat back.
"Okay, if that's the case, then it's settled." Fang Zhen made a decision, and then said to Lang Fei: "Boy Lang, you have just recovered not long ago, and you have been tired all the way. Why don't you go back to your room to rest first, and then wait for a while?"
Let’s discuss this matter in detail tomorrow. Do you think so?”
Lang Fei nodded, bowed his hands to him and said goodbye, then stood up. Just as he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something and turned back to ask: "Master, do you know what happened to the other two families who entered the valley? Have they ever suffered?
Attack by those who covet the treasures in the valley."
Fang Zhen smiled slightly and said: "According to the news from the informants in various places, the two brothers of the Sima family had a safe journey. Although the Chu family brothers encountered an ambush on the road, they were just a few casual cultivators with weak cultivation. Except for Chu Haiying who was
He suffered minor injuries but nothing serious.”
Lang Fei nodded and said: "Then how did the Qifeng Valley incident end in the past few days when I was missing?"
Seeing Lang Fei's look of breaking the pot and asking the question, Fang Zhen could only shake his head and said with a bitter smile: "Needless to say about those casual cultivators, once those of you who entered the valley return to the clan, under the protection of their elders, they will naturally not dare to
What are they thinking about the three of us? As for those immortal cultivating sects, on the surface it seems that small sects dare not provoke us in order to avoid losing both sides. Medium-sized sects and large aristocratic families each have a wait-and-see attitude and will not take action easily. And the Ten Evergreen Sects have seen that they have
I have been guarding Qifeng Valley for hundreds of years, but I have not discovered the mystery. Of course, for the sake of our respective reputations, we are embarrassed to take action again."
Fang Zhen paused for a moment when he said this. Seeing Lang Fei patiently waiting for him to continue, he shook his head helplessly and slowly told the truth: "Boss Lang, do you really think that all the things you got from Qifeng Valley can be returned to you?"
Do our three families own it? You have also seen that our Fang family is attached to the big tree of Danmen. In fact, the other two families are also like this. Behind the Chu family is the Xuanhuo Sect, behind the Sima family is Jueqing Dao, and behind the Min family is Jueqing Dao.
The country's cultivation world is apparently dominated by our three families, but in fact it is the sphere of influence of these three sects, and this time more than half of your income in the valley will be sent to the sects behind the three families."
Speaking of this, Fang Zhen sighed and continued: "Actually, all the medium-sized sects and large aristocratic families are well aware of this kind of thing. Otherwise, how could they sit idly by and ignore it. And those small sects also know more or less
In some cases, if this were not the case, their masters at the Refining Realm would probably have already left their ranks. As for those low-level disciples, they are just stones used to ask for directions. Finally, when it comes to the casual cultivators, they are actually the most miserable.
, the situation of cultivating immortals in the Evergreen Realm is complicated, and there are no secrets in it that they can know." At the end, Fang Zhen shook his head, thinking that he sympathized with the plight of casual cultivators.
