Chapter 24: Changes in the Fang Family
When everything was calm, the corner became empty again. No one mentioned what had happened there, and the guards of the city were silent, as if they did not know. Probably not surprised.
Ye Hao returned to the Ye family alone, because Han Yu left with the black-robed man after that.
He took off the cold jade bracelet on his left wrist and played with it in his hand, and through the sunlight, he could see that the hollow inside the jade bracelet was extraordinarily bright. That's where the jade worm stays.
He stood in front of the courtyard and watched the last leaves fall from the trees, reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun, dim and cold.
Sometimes Ye Hao would also think back to the amazing sword of the black-robed man at that time. There are no flashy false moves, just the most ordinary sword drawing technique. It's as simple as drawing and retracting the sword, but it's incredibly fast. A long, long time later, when he also reached this realm, he realized that this was not a simple move, this move was called the Daybreak Sword. It is a move in the unparalleled sword book in the Innate Sword Pavilion, and when the sword is released, the power generated in that moment is fused with the internal force and then released, forming a dazzling light like the aurora. And the black-robed man's sword was extremely perfectly controlled, but it only destroyed Shen Cheng's dantian without harming his other parts, and the operation had reached the point of being superb.
But he was not surprised, after all, he was a person that his father valued very much, so he was not surprised.
Now, he was just thinking that his father knew about the auction of the Nine Tricks Jade Worm, and hinted that he had paid a promised price on behalf of the Ye family in exchange for a jade worm. This promise is not small, and the promise of a big family in Zhongzhou City is enough to shake the land. If you are still like this, most of the jade worms that others get are also promises of the same weight. What do the Fang family have in mind!
"It's cold, it's time to go back to the house."
Ye Hao straightened his clothes and walked into the house. He lit a stick of incense, picked up the unpacked book on the table, and began to read.
The night was quiet, and the lights of thousands of homes were shattered. The cat walked on the rooftop, like a ghost wandering in the night, watching the moonlight caress the ground. It lay on the eaves again, wagging its tail, as if judging the moonlit night.
On the second day, the first news came out from Cuiyan Building: Fang Yu entrusted Cuiyan Building to her brother Fang Yu!
As soon as this news came out, it suddenly made Cuiyan Building uneasy, and diners had one more topic to talk about, and they couldn't calm down.
"Is that young master of the Fang family?"
"How could Miss Fang suddenly entrust Cuiyan Mansion to her brother who is unknown in this regard? Cuiyan Building is a well-known top restaurant in Zhongzhou City, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to hand it over to her brother Fang Yu......"
"Who's to say it isn't! Fang Yu's talent in this generation of the Fang family is far beyond Fang Yu's, take this Cuiyan Building as an example, Fang Yu has beaten its reputation in five years and become one of the largest restaurants in Zhongzhou City, and Fang Yu, the young master of the Fang family, can't do this! ”
"I really don't know what Miss Fang thinks, the huge industry has been given away like this, although it is her brother, it is difficult to do this."
"Now I hope that Young Master Fang Yu of the Fang family can run Cuiyan Building well, we are used to eating this thing, and we really don't want to change places."
"I feel the same way!"
……
Coincidentally, a few days later, another major event came out from the Fang family: Fang Yu, the eldest lady of the Fang family, was taken away by an old man of unknown origin, and Fang Yu, the second young master of the Fang family, would become the next head of the Fang family.
The time went back to three days ago, that is, the first day after the Fang family's auction ended.
Early that morning, a not-so-hurried knock came from the gate of the Fang family. The visitor was an old man with gray hair but who looked in good spirits. The old man was holding an ebony staff and was hunched up.
The servant yawned and shuffled towards the gate. He rubbed his head, making the head on his head deviate a little more.
"Who's knocking on the door early in the morning?" The subordinate grumbled and took off the crossbar of the latched door, and when he opened the door, he saw an old man standing at the door smiling and looking at him, he was slightly stunned, and then said, "Old man, who are you looking for?" Is there something going on? ”
"I'll ask your head of the family for advice, just go and report it, just say that it's Donglin Xue's original person." A gleam flashed in the old man's eyes, but the servant didn't notice it at all.
The servant was stunned for a while, and an old man came to knock on the door early in the morning, and the first thing he said was to find the head of the house? What is the Donglin Snow Plain he said, I have never heard of it. But after all, he is a descendant of the family, and he still has the qualities he should have, so he returned after a short pause: "Old man, you wait here first, and I will go to report to the head of the family." ”
The servant gently pushed and closed the door again, leaving the old man standing outside the door alone. Then he went unhurriedly to report to the head of the house, and when he passed by the pond in the atrium, he also took a picture of the water and tidied up his clothes.
Crossing the corridor, he walked in the direction of the courtyard. Because at this time, Fang Xun usually practiced in other courtyards, and for decades, the thunder could not move.
The subordinate knocked on the wall of the courtyard door, and the finger joints collided with the wall to make a "knock" sound.
Fang Xun in the courtyard didn't seem to hear it, until he finished this set of punches, he exhaled a breath of turbidity, and then slowly turned to look at the somewhat panicked subordinate at the gate of the courtyard.
"Didn't you say it, don't come and disturb me about my practice?" Fang Xun frowned slightly, his face was cold, he picked up a white towel from the shelf on the side, and said while wiping his sweat, "What the hell is the matter with coming here so early." ”
The subordinate said in a panic: "Oh, oh, that, there is an old man at the door who said that he wanted to see you, the head of the house, and then I came over." ”
"It's just an old man who wants to see me, and then let you tell you that you're here? When did the Fang family get in so well, you guarded like this? What the hell is going on! ”
The servant hurriedly recalled: "My lord, I was ready to refuse, but somehow, the old man looked at me as if there was an irresistible force, as if hinting, and then I came over like this. The subordinate scratched his head, and suddenly said, "By the way, the old man also said that he came from some place in the Donglin Snow Plain." ”
Fang Xun couldn't help but be a little moved when he heard the words "Donglin Snow Plain", it was a special place!
Donglin Snow Field is located in the extreme east of the mainland, and in the extreme east of the mainland, there is a place with the highest terrain. Due to the high terrain, the snow does not melt all year round, and finally turns into a snowfield. In this snowfield, there is also a strange place, where trees like ice sculptures grow, translucent, reflecting light, standing still in the cold wind, this strange place is called Donglin Snow Field.
Under the cover of snow and ice, crops cannot grow at all, let alone feed anyone. But there is always a glimmer of life in the heavens, and there is a human tribe in this snowy field. The people here are relatively short, about ten centimeters shorter than the average height of ordinary people, but they are extremely strong, as if they have tigers and bears hidden in their skins. They hunt large animals from the snowy borders for food, and the ice crystals from the ice forests also serve as food for their stomachs. However, not every hunt can be harvested, and the ice crystal fruit cannot be used as a long-term food, because the ice crystal fruit, as its name suggests, is really like ice crystals condensed, and cannot be heated to eat, although it can be fed, but its temperature is unacceptable. It's hard to imagine how the people of this tribe survived and still survived.
The old man at the door is actually from the Donglin Snow Field! This is a bit intriguing.
"As far as I know, our family should have nothing to do with the people of this Donglin Snow Plain, how could they come to our house, could it be that they are looking for trouble?" Fang Xun was puzzled for a while, "No matter what you're here for, let's go and see it first, our family won't be afraid of a small tribe in the Far East!" ”
