Chapter 505: Whereabouts
Although the gate of the Fang family looks simple and the courtyard is ordinary, the lobby for hospitality is very spacious, and of course, the furnishings are also very simple, but it is enough.
The young head of the Fang family swept his gaze over Lin Haoxue and He Yi'an, his eyes were full of suspicion and suspicion, but although he was secretly speculating in his heart, his attitude towards Lin Haoxue and the two was surprisingly polite, and he was not slacking off at all.
The guest of honor sat down, and Fang Rui, the head of the Fang family, immediately ordered his subordinates to hurry up and serve tea to Lin Haoxue and the others.
"No need!" Lin Haoxue waved her hand, and didn't look at the young man in front of her who had blocked her from entering the gate of the Fang family before, and now hurriedly prepared tea, her eyes fell on Fang Rui's body, probing Fang Rui's expression like Fang Rui probing her, and seeing that she didn't find anything, she said bluntly, "Fang family master, I came to your mansion this time to find an old friend, he is in the mansion, I don't know if the Fang family master can call out to see him?"
"There's nothing wrong with this," Fang Rui smiled, agreeing very happily, but the next sentence had a tentative taste, "It's just, I don't know who the two are?" Although the Fang Mansion is not big, I still know a thing or two about the weight of these juniors in the mansion, but I don't know which junior can be called an old friend by two such masters?"
Hearing this, Lin Haoxue and He Yi'an glanced at each other, the tentative taste in Fang Rui's words was so obvious, and they didn't have the slightest intention to hide it, if she hid her head and showed her tail, I am afraid that she would be a little unable to say it, but she was nothing, but she didn't know if it would bring any trouble to He Yi'an. When He Yi'an saw Lin Haoxue looking at him, he nodded invisibly, signaling that Lin Haoxue didn't have to scruple and just tell the truth.
"My surname is Lin, I am from the Wuhuan Empire, I have received a great favor from Mr. Ai in the Wuhuan Empire, and I have always kept it in my heart, and later, for some reasons, I left the Wuhuan Empire. Recently, when I heard the news of Mr. Ai, I learned that he was originally a disciple of the Fang family of the Shao Hui Empire, and I happened to be near the Shao Hui Empire, so I came to visit him and wanted to meet him. Seeing that He Yi'an did not have the slightest objection, Lin Haoxue no longer had any scruples, but said slowly.
"Surname Lin, from the Wuhuan Empire?" Fang Rui seemed to focus on these two key points, paused slightly, and his tone seemed to be a little excited, "Although it is very presumptuous, I still want to ask, what is the girl's name?"
"This," Lin Haoxue hesitated slightly, but still said it, "My name is Lin Haoxue." ”
"It turns out that you are Lin Haoxue Lin girl!" After hearing Lin Haoxue's self-reported name, Fang Rui suddenly stood up excitedly and hugged Lin Haoxue again and again, "I have heard the girl's name for a long time, Fang Rui was rude just now, please don't blame the girl." ”
"Master Fang, what are you doing?" Seeing that Fang Rui suddenly gave himself such a big gift, Lin Haoxue immediately couldn't sit still, and immediately shouted in unison, blocking again and again.
"The girl is my great benefactor in Nanyu, what's wrong with receiving this gift from me? Fang Rui's attitude was surprisingly stubborn, and his speed was also very fast, as he spoke, he had already finished this salute, and then he looked at He Yi'an, who was sitting in another position, sitting still, and said, "Presumably, this is Mr. He?"
He Yi'an nodded, casually playing with a small inconspicuous bead in his hand, and said, "Master Fang, you don't care about him, whether you know our identity or not, it seems that you should call our old friend Mr. Ai out for us to catch up on the past, but you have not done this for a long time, why is this? Could it be that there are still unspeakable secrets?"
"Why did Mr. He say this?" Hearing He Yi'an's words, Fang Rui was suddenly startled, and hurriedly explained, "I was just too surprised to hear the names of the two just now, that's why this is the case? I'm going to call this old friend of yours. ”
"Fang He, you hurry up and ask someone to find out, who was the one who went to the Wuhuan Empire in the first place, please come over quickly. Fang Rui said as he instructed a disciple waiting in the living room.
That disciple seemed to be about the same age as Fang Rui, but Lin Haoxue also knew that his age must be much younger than Fang Rui's, Fang Rui had only cultivated to a certain stage, so it would affect his appearance and make him look like he was at the best stage of his life.
The disciple named Fang He was extremely efficient, and soon, he came to the huge living room again to report, but when he saw that Fang He's back was empty and no one appeared here, Lin Haoxue was disappointed.
And the fact is as she guessed, this person did not find Mr. Ai, could it be that Mr. Ai really had an accident?
"The head of the family, our Fang family, all the clansmen are surnamed Fang, and there are no characters with other surnames, all, the disciples have not found a disciple called Mr. Ai. Hurriedly stood in front of Fang Rui, and without waiting for Lin Haoxue and the others to ask, Fang He hurriedly replied.
"No?" Fang Rui frowned, glanced at Lin Haoxue and the two from a distance, and found that Lin Haoxue's face was not good, so he continued to ask, "So, can you find a disciple who went to the Wuhuan Empire?"
"This," Fang He paused slightly, as if preparing his words, and then said smoothly, "Qi Qi family master, because our Fang family has too many disciples, there are only strong people in the family who have reached the Xuan Immortal realm before the age of fifteen, and those disciples who are still below the Xuan Immortal after the age of fifteen will be sent out, let them cultivate on their own, and only after they break through the Xuan Immortal, will they be allowed to return to the family." Where the disciples who went out had gone, because there were so many of them, we couldn't find out. ”
"Then, isn't there a basis for reference?" Seeing that Lin Haoxue's face was getting more and more ugly, before Lin Haoxue could speak, Fang Rui immediately continued to ask.
"Yes, yes, in the past ten years, because of breaking through the Xuan Immortal Realm, the disciples who returned to our family from the outside have a total of nine hundred and seventy-eight people, and I have checked the list of these nine hundred and seventy-eight people, and four of them have the word Ai in their names, and among them, Fang Xingai's mother is the Ai family with the lowest blood in the Shao Hui Empire. Fang He explained, and after he spoke, his voice became smaller and quieter.
Although his voice became smaller and quieter, these words still came into Lin Haoxue's ears word for word, Fang Xingai, his mother is the Ai family, although Lin Haoxue is not very clear about Mr. Ai's situation, but at the beginning, he also heard Mr. Ai say that he would return to his own family to protect his mother in the future, and Xiao Zhenren also mentioned that Mr. Ai has always been unpopular in the big family of the Fang family because of his mother, and has been humiliated a lot.
In this way, Lin Haoxue is almost certain that this Fang Xingai is the Mr. Ai she is looking for.
Such a thought flashed, Lin Haoxue immediately stood up and asked urgently, "What about Fang Xingai's people, why didn't they bring it?"
"This?" Fang He's face was embarrassed, and he hesitated for a while, but still didn't say a word.
"What the hell is going on?" Lin Haoxue was anxious and asked sharply.
"What the hell is going on?Fang He, hurry up and make it clear!" Seeing Lin Haoxue's expression was not good, and he was so out of shape, Fang Rui immediately felt bad and asked quickly.
"This, the head of the family, Fang Xingai, has already been sent out?" Fang He said with a trembling tone.
"What, you actually sent people out?" Lin Haoxue's tone couldn't help but tremble, could it be that Mr. Ai had now been sent to the hands of the Blood Demon Valley, so did he still have his life? Such a thought flashed in his heart, and Lin Haoxue's heart felt like falling into an ice cellar, a cold.
"Where did you send it?" Fang Rui still seemed to be a little confused, with a faint doubt in his tone.
"Family Master?" Fang He was still a little hesitant, but seeing the fierceness in Lin Haoxue and He Yi'an's eyes, as well as the doubts in the eyes of the family master, he finally gritted his teeth and said it, "That's the case, a year ago, our Fang family was attacked by a strong external force, at that time, the head of the family, you were still in retreat, for a while, our family was in danger, so as a last resort, under the leadership of several elders, they agreed to the other party's conditions......" Fang He's voice became lower and lower, and later, he paused, not daring to say any more.
Seeing Fang He's reaction, even Fang Rui, the well-informed head of the Fang family, gradually had a bad premonition in his heart, what kind of unequal treaty had been signed?
"Several elders promised each other, and in a few months, they would send a hundred of the people of our family who were not very useful to others, so as to ensure that our family was safe and sound. Fang He lowered his head and said softly.
"Who are they?" Fang Rui said calmly, although he was still a little uneasy when he first heard the news, at this time, he had already quieted down, "Why didn't anyone tell me?"
"Master of the family, it's not that no one told you that you didn't just go out today, and besides, as soon as you got out of the customs, you met people who came to visit, even if we wanted to tell you, we didn't have a chance. Fang He bowed his head and said.
"So, tell me, since you don't know the identity of the other party, how did you send people out, where did you send them, and how did the other party receive them?" The calm tone was why An was asking, because Lin Haoxue didn't speak because she was in a bad mood.
"I was sent to a small town outside the capital, called Black Wind Town. Fang He hurriedly explained, "When the time comes, we just have to go, and they will naturally have someone to accept it." ”
"How long has it been since you sent people out last time?"
"They were sent five days ago, but now, no one knows if they're still there. Although this Mr. He seems to have a calm tone, the pressure is no less than that of the angry Miss Lin.
"Let's go!"
As soon as Lin Haoxue was about to speak, she saw the eyes He Yi'an handed to her, so she no longer hesitated, and followed He Yi'an's steps and left the Fang family's living room.
