Chapter 163: Escort
A slender figure emerged from the dark shadows of the trees, his ethereal and light gait, and even the butterflies and birds around him were unaware of his presence, continuing to concentrate on what was in front of him.
After seeing the appearance of the person who came, Fang Yuancai's slightly happy eyebrows were twisted into a ball again, and he said in a deep voice: "You are really persevering, it's almost enough, isn't it good to open one eye and close one eye?"
It turned out that the person who came was none other than the heir of the Mo family who had just separated from them-Mo Fanchen.
Different from Fang Yuan's fierce expression change, Zhang Zhiyi was actually shocked the moment he saw Mo Fanchen, but on the surface, he still looked very calm.
"Brother Fanchen, this person is my friend. You see...... Can you make it easier for me to take him away?"
Mo Fanchen looked at Zhang Zhiyi's eyes indifferently, paused for a moment, and then said to Zhang Zhiyi in a deep voice: "Do you know what you're talking about? If you really came here to raise someone on behalf of the Northeast Branch, there is no problem for me to hand him over to you." But now it's clear that you're not. What you're doing now will only make you and me break the rules. ”
Zhang Zhiyi glanced thoughtfully at Fang Yuan on the side, and then said to Mo Fanchen without changing his face: "The reason why I rushed here to take him away was because I was worried that he would fall into the hands of the Chamber of Commerce. Because...... There was a plot to assassinate him on the way to his escort. ”
As soon as Zhang Zhiyi's words came out, Fang Yuan and Mo Fanchen's eyes flashed with a hint of discoloration. The difference was that Mo Fanchen's eyes flashed with incomprehension, while Fang Yuan's eyes flashed with murderous aura.
"Assassination on the way to escort?"
Mo Fanchen said with a solemn expression: "There is no reason to do this. He killed a child of a family with such cruel means, and even if he did not die, he would never see the light of day again. In that case, why bother trying to intercept him halfway?"
Zhang Zhiyi said: "What if...... The guy he killed deserved to die?"
Her words made Mo Fanchen suddenly remember what Fang Yuan had done just now, he seemed to suddenly understand something, so he glanced at Fang Yuan with deep meaning, and then said, "Despite this, he is now a wanted criminal after all, and it is your duty to capture him." And whether he is guilty or not is not up to us, it depends on how the Chamber of Commerce decides. If you really have any concerns in your heart, I can apply to personally escort him to the Northeast Branch, so that the safety on the road will be guaranteed. ”
As Fang Yuan imagined, this Mo Fanchen was definitely a fool who only recognized death. It's troublesome now, seeing that Zhang Zhiyi and him seem to be very familiar, and he has fallen for his secret method, it is really inconvenient to start.
Zhang Zhiyi thought for a moment, and then said: "I naturally trust Brother Fanchen's strength, but he can't go back to the Chamber of Commerce directly to accept the ruling now, because ...... He had one more important thing to do. ”
Fang Yuan immediately added, "You also saw with your own eyes just now, those children are all fresh lives. The children who preceded them may have been killed, but the culprits who killed them are still at large, how can you bear it? Your rules and bottom line are helpless against those scoundrels, and I ...... can make them pay for what they do!"
Zhang Zhiyi only remembered at this time that the container opposite them at that time was filled with children in tattered clothes. She looked at Fang Yuan with surprise in her eyes, but Fang Yuan took advantage of Mo Fanchen's unpreparedness and glanced at Zhang Zhiyi.
Seeing Fang Yuan's hint, Zhang Zhiyi naturally understood that this guy must be playing some kind of trick again. However, she didn't debunk Fang Yuan, she just glanced at him helplessly.
Fang Yuan's words seemed to hit the nail on the head of Mo Fanchen, and it was obvious that he was in a painful struggle in his heart.
At this time, Zhang Zhiyi also added at the right time: "If there is any problem with the Northeast Branch, Brother Fanchen can push it on me." It's like I lied to you and took people away. ”
Mo Fanchen glanced at Zhang Zhiyi deeply, then smiled indifferently and said, "Can you let me talk to this little brother alone?"
Although Zhang Zhiyi knew Mo Fanchen's character, she still hesitated for a moment with a little worry. It wasn't until she saw Fang Yuan's indifferent look that she nodded slightly.
It wasn't until Zhang Zhiyi's figure was completely obscured by the shade of the tree that Mo Fanchen spoke again: "The Zhang family is a veritable leader in the cultivation realm in the northeast region of Huaxia, and we are friends with the Mo family. She is the youngest daughter of the head of the Zhang family, who should have been loved by thousands of people, but she was alienated by her father because her mother was not welcomed. ”
Saying that, Mo Fanchen sighed slightly and continued: "Uncle Zhang loves the aunt who died young so much that he has always ignored this step-aunt who later married to the family. Even her birth was just an accidental result of Uncle Zhang misidentifying someone after he got drunk. And she, as the flesh and blood of her step-aunt, has become a pond fish that has suffered tragically. ”
But she herself is an extremely strong little girl, and her unyielding strength has been deeply engraved into her bones. You may never imagine how much she wishes that her talent could be higher, how much she hopes that she can be like her brother and sister to be praised by her father, even if it is just a simple recognition. For this goal, she has been fighting with her sister who is eight years older than her, and every opportunity to improve her cultivation is to fight with all her might. No matter what difficulties she encountered, she never compromised, was discouraged, or gave up. ”
This reminded Fang Yuan of when he first met Zhang Zhiyi, at that time she seemed to have come for the string of Buddha bone relics that could improve her cultivation for thirty years.
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan actually felt a faint sense of guilt. But now that Zhang Zhiyi has taken the rare Yanyang Fruit, her cultivation has increased a lot, and it can be regarded as her own compensation, right?
Thinking about it, Fang Yuan suddenly felt a biting chill suddenly hit him. Only then did he realize that at some point, the sharp blade in Mo Fanchen's hand had already pressed against his throat.
"But because of you, she stole something that his father never left him! Do you know what that means to her?"
Hearing this, Fang Yuan couldn't help but curse in his heart: What the hell is this Lao Tzu bird business? Isn't it a bit unreasonable that Lao Tzu didn't let her steal it?
Although his heart was full of resentment, Fang Yuan naturally understood that he would definitely not be able to show it at this time, so he had an idea and said, "Since you all know that she has paid so much to save me, why do you still have to force me hard?
Hearing this, the sharp blade in Mo Fanchen's hand did not retreat but advanced. Fortunately, Fang Yuan cleverly dodged back slightly, otherwise it was estimated that there would be an extra slender blood mark on his neck at this moment.
"I don't care who you are, how I approach and gain her trust, as long as I find the slightest sign of bad intentions, I will not hesitate to kill you!"
"No, no!"
Fang Yuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This is absolutely none! If I really have the slightest evil intention, I will abolish myself and bother you to make a move!"
Mo Fanchen was silent for a moment, then simply withdrew the sharp blade in his hand neatly, and said coldly: "Seeing what you did before, you are not a bad person, since the sister of the Zhang family is willing to believe you, then I will also believe you once." ”
Fang Yuan was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly bowed: "Thank you for trust, long live trust!" Then since this is the case, I am in a bit of a hurry, so I will take the first step." ”
"Wait!"
Fang Yuan was just about to turn around and leave, but Mo Fanchen stopped him with a loud shout.
"When did I say that...... I'm going to let you go?"
Fang Yuan immediately became anxious when he heard this, didn't he use him as a monkey?
"What do you mean? Do you think I'm a bully and play with me here?"
Seeing that anger had already appeared on Fang Yuan's face, Mo Fanchen suddenly smiled and said, "Playing with you, do you think I'm usually idle? Catch you...... It's my job, and even if I don't do it, someone else will continue to do it. However, since the sister of the Zhang family thinks that you are in danger, it is also my duty to escort you to the Northeast Branch safely. Because even if you deserve to die, the Chamber of Commerce will have to decide, and before that, no one can take your life indiscriminately. ”
"It's not...... Why don't you eat oil and salt? Does that make any difference?"
Mo Fanchen couldn't help but smile again when he looked at Fang Yuan's anxious expression, and said, "The difference is ...... I'll be in charge of escorting you, but the route back to the Northeast Branch will be decided by the sister of the Zhang family. My duty is only to escort with me. ”
"What is the accompanying escort, you are really ......"
As soon as he was halfway through his words, Fang Yuan suddenly guessed what Mo Fanchen meant. When Mo Fanchen saw his sudden realization, he knew that he had understood his intentions.
"In this way, I haven't broken the rules and bottom line, and the sister of the Zhang family can also get what she wants. I just want ...... You are a person worthy of her dedication. ”
"Yes, it must be worthy!"
Looking at Fang Yuan's little portrait with a hippie smile, Mo Fanchen really doubted whether his decision was correct.
"Oh, by the way, what did you just want to say about me?"
"Really...... What a reasonable and good person!"
Fang Yuan piled up a fake smile on his face, and said with a flattering look: "Such a good person, can you also remove the secret method on my body by the way? You said that if you use the aura too violently in a moment, won't it be troublesome?"
Mo Fanchen said with a puzzled expression: "What's the trouble with that? The aura is your own, you can use it however you want!"
Seeing that this guy was pretending to be stupid, Fang Yuanqiang endured the anger in his heart, and still said with a smile: "Didn't your old man bury a secret method on me before......?" Once the use of aura exceeds the limit of the primordial realm, the meridians will explode and die. ”
Mo Fanchen looked at Fang Yuan's expression as if he was looking at a fool, and chuckled: "Do you believe this, do you think that if that secret method is really so strong, it can be solved with a few simple handprints? I lied to you, just to make you honest on the road, in fact, it is just a secret method that can track your location." ”
