"Have you been drinking?" Fang Jingtu asked calmly without raising his head.
Fang Yibai's heart tightened and he didn't dare to hide it. He nodded quickly: "Yes, father, I gathered twenty-six Yuan Jin Formations, and Jin Hu and the others took me out to congratulate me."
There are four eldest sons in the Fang family, and the qualifications of the other three are not inferior to his. The four people are given the same resources by the family, and the competition between them is very fierce. Only the strongest one can become the heir in the future. Fang Yibai's father, Fang Jingtu, was also the heir apparent back then. Unfortunately, he lost the competition and was eliminated early. Therefore, he has always been extremely harsh on Fang Yibai, making the latter very afraid of him.
"Hmph! What's there to congratulate for some achievements? If you have gathered fifty-two Yuan Jin Formations, you can congratulate you as you wish." Fang Jingtu put down the account book, raised his head and looked at Fang Yibai, his eyes were like lightning, piercing Fang Yibai's whole body. uneasy.
"Why are you in a bad mood?" he asked again.
Fang Yibai told him about meeting his savior Ye Ming. After hearing this, Fang Jingtu sneered: "Jin Tianying's son is indeed not bad. Even the schemer is exactly the same as him, without showing any trace."
Fang Yibai was stunned: "Scheming? Who is plotting?"
"Idiot!" Fang Jingtu shook his head repeatedly, "Do you think Jin Hu really doesn't like Ye Ming? Even if he doesn't, with his cultivation as the Silver Prince, how can he deliberately target a stranger he meets for the first time?"
Fang Yibai's heart skipped a beat and he exclaimed: "Is he trying to get Ye Ming's idea?"
Fang Jingtu nodded: "It must be. First, Ye Ming has gone deeper into the Linghe Secret Realm than you. It can be seen that his qualifications are still higher than yours, and he may make important discoveries in the secret realm. Secondly, after hearing that After Ye Ming became the treasure body, he wanted to recruit the other party even more. The treasure body meant that the potential of Wu Zun was no small matter. The above two points were enough to make him excited, and he secretly plotted to attract his attention even if he did not hesitate to offend Ye Ming. .”
Fang Yibai clenched his fists and said bitterly: "He deliberately targeted Ye Ming. Firstly, it would greatly damage my image in Ye Ming's heart. Secondly, he also had an excuse to get close to Ye Ming. As I expected, it was not bad." , once Ye Ming is detected as having a treasure body, he will sincerely apologize, and then take the opportunity to make friends with Ye Ming. In this way, his impression on Ye Ming will be deeper than mine! This bastard Jin Hu is so shady!"
Fang Jingtu smiled "hehe": "There are too many things you have to learn, and strength alone is useless. Apart from Jin Hu, the boy from the Yi family also has no good intentions. Think about it carefully."
Fang Yibai was stunned, and then said: "That's right! I just said that I would help Ye Ming find a way, and Yi Zhongnan said that he could meet the Marquis of Dong Qi by applying for the guards of the Marquis Mansion. Thinking about it now, he probably didn't want Ye Ming to do it. Ming owed me a favor and deliberately revealed this news."
Fang Jingtu sighed softly: "Yibai, wisdom is sometimes more useful than strength. If a person has both wisdom and strength, then he will definitely be invincible in the world, do you understand?"
"Yes, Yibai understands!" Fang Yibai said solemnly.
Fang Jingtu muttered: "There is still a way to remedy this matter. You should immediately send someone to invite Ye Ming back to receive him for his father."
Fang Yibai was taken aback: "Father, is it worth doing this to you?"
Fang Jingtu snorted: "Never think that there is anything special about the Silver Family. When making friends with others, you have to lower your head, you know? Furthermore, I got news that the four golden princes have returned safely. They said that one of them is very likely to Entered the third level with Princess Suzaku, and that person is the successor of the Immortal Temple."
"What? Immortal Temple!" Fang Yibai was shocked.
"According to you, there are only six people besides you. The heirs of the Immortal Temple that they call are naturally Ye Ming. There have long been rumors that the heirs of the Immortal Temple are geniuses chosen in the mortal world. The number is extremely large. They have to go through fierce competition before they can finally become the true successor and get the inheritance of the temple. This Ye Ming must be like this." Fang Jingtu analyzed.
Fang Yibai nodded: "I understand, Ye Ming is very important anyway, I must make friends with him!"
After leaving Zuixian Tower, Ye Ming returned to the inn. Fang Yibai's performance today made him a little unhappy. He didn't owe Fang Yibai, on the contrary, Fang Yibai owed him his life.
But he doesn't mind, it's just a chance meeting, so why should he make demands on others
However, not long after he returned to the inn, someone knocked on the door, and then Fang Yibai's voice came: "Brother Ye, have you rested?"
Ye Ming stood up and opened the door and asked in surprise: "Why is Brother Fang here?"
Fang Yibai smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Ye, that bastard Jin Hu drank too much today and deliberately said something to make you unhappy. Don't be angry. I have prepared a banquet at home and came here to treat you to a few drinks. "
Ye Ming wanted to refuse, but Fang Yibai had already pulled him out, taking Zhou Hao with him, and paid the rent when he went out.
It was late at night, but the lights in Fang's house were brightly lit. When Ye Ming got off the sedan, he saw a middle-aged man standing at the door. The middle-aged man came up to him with a smile and held Ye Ming's hand affectionately: "Are you Ye Xian's nephew? Thank you! If it weren't for you, Yibai's life would have been left to the outside."
Fang Yibai quickly introduced: "Brother Ye, this is my father."
Ye Ming could see that the opponent's momentum was not inferior to that of Master Gao Fengxian, and he was definitely a ruthless person, so he hurriedly saluted: "It turns out to be my uncle. My nephew has seen his uncle! I really feel sorry for disturbing my uncle so late."
"Haha, my nephew has met. You and Yibai are life-and-death friends. Why bother? Please come in quickly. Let's have a few drinks."
Both father and son were very enthusiastic and personally invited Ye Ming into an elegant living room. Wine and food have been prepared in the living room. The food is very unique. It is at least the meat of monster beasts above level five and the soup stewed with high-grade elixirs. The wine is also good wine, brewed from spiritual rice and is expensive. Even the chopsticks are polished with white ivory from level 6 demon beasts.
Ye Ming only took one look and was secretly surprised that the Fang family really treated him as a distinguished guest. Such a table of dishes, worth thousands of Wujun coins, is very expensive, and even he is not willing to eat like this.
After sitting down, Fang Yibai personally poured wine for Ye Ming and said sternly: "Brother Ye, Yibai is apologizing here. It's my fault that I treated you so lightly before." After that, he started by himself.
Ye Ming said lightly: "Brother Fang is out of touch." The other party was so honest, and his slight unhappiness disappeared. He has a straightforward personality, and he respects others as much as he respects him.
Fang Jingtu smiled "haha" and said, "Yibai is ignorant, so please don't argue with him, nephew. I already know about your matter. It's just an interview with the Marquis, it's not a big deal."
Ye Mingzheng said there was no need to bother, he would figure it out by himself. Fang Yibai smiled and said, "Concubine Hou is on her way and should be there soon."
Ye Ming was surprised. The Fang family was really caring enough to invite Concubine Hou out in the middle of the night! Zhou Hao also followed. When he heard this, a nervous look suddenly appeared on his face. He had never seen his aunt before, and he didn't know what she looked like. Would she help him, a nephew he had never met before
Ye Ming understood what he was thinking, patted his little head and said, "Don't worry, no matter what the result is, big brother will not ignore you."
Zhou Hao nodded vigorously, his mood gradually became peaceful and relaxed, and he was no longer so nervous.
After saying a few words, a steward came into the hall and announced: "Go back to Master Six, Concubine Hou is here."
Before Fang Jingtu could get up, a gentle yet excited voice came from outside: "Where is my miserable nephew?"
Hearing this voice, Zhou Hao suddenly burst into tears, jumped off the chair and ran out. The hall door opened, and he happened to bump into a beauty in palace attire.
The beauty looked about thirty, full of nobility, dignified and beautiful, like a fairy in a painting.
"Are you my aunt?" Zhou Hao asked with tears in his eyes. After all, he was a five- or six-year-old child and could easily lose control of his emotions.
The beauty in palace clothes stood up and picked up Zhou Hao. After just one glance, she cried with joy and said, "My poor child, as soon as I look at you, I know that you are my sister's flesh and blood!" As she said this, she hugged Zhou Hao tightly, and the two of them Cried for a while.
Ye Ming and the others had to stand aside, so it was not easy to disturb them at this time.
After crying for a while, the beauty in palace clothes picked up Juansi, wiped the corners of her eyes, and scanned the people present with her phoenix eyes.
Fang Jingtu and his son quickly bowed to each other and said, "Meet the Marquis!"
Ye Ming also followed suit and lowered his head.
"My child, how did you find Dong Qi? How is my sister?" Hou Fei asked softly, but she refused to put Zhou Hao down.
When Zhou Hao heard this, he shed tears again and told the truth about everything that happened in the Yan Kingdom. Knowing that her sister was dead, the beauty in palace clothes was sad and shed tears. She said with hatred: "Yan country, a small country, actually harmed my sister. This revenge must be avenged!"
Zhou Hao's mood stabilized, and then he remembered Ye Ming. He hurriedly said: "Auntie, thanks to Brother Ye for saving me. If it weren't for Brother Ye, I would have been killed by the guards. And Brother Ye traveled thousands of miles to escort me all the way. Dong Qi, I asked Prince Fang for the room, and then I found my aunt."
The beauty in palace clothes nodded and said to Ye Ming: "Master, thank you very much! If you save Hao'er, I will definitely repay you generously."
Ye Ming said: "It's a small effort, no need to thank you."
The beauty in palace clothes said nothing more, hugged Zhou Hao and said, "Good boy, go back to your aunt. No one will ever bully you in the future." Then she nodded to Ye Ming and Fang Jingtu, and left.
Zhou Hao reluctantly waved to Ye Ming and said loudly: "Brother Ye, I will come to you!"
Ye Ming smiled and said: "Okay."
After the concubine left, Fang Jingtu said with a smile: "Nephew Ye Xian's merits are now complete. Let's drink three glasses of wine to celebrate."
Ye Ming was also in a good mood and drank several drinks.
That night, Ye Ming stayed at the Fang family. The Fang family prepared a luxurious courtyard for him and sent four beautiful young girls to wait on him. However, he had Su Lan in mind, so he didn't think much about it and practiced all night.
The next day, Ye Ming had just had breakfast when Fang Yibai came to visit and said with a smile: "Brother Ye, the selection of guards is about to begin. I will accompany you."
Although Zhou Hao found his aunt, Ye Ming was still preparing to participate in the selection of bodyguards. After all, the guards of the Hou Mansion are paid well, and they also have the opportunity to enter Qinglong Academy. Although Qinglong Academy is not as good as the Four Holy Lands, it is not weaker than the Nine Holy Lands, and cannot be compared to the Yin Yang Sect. Such an opportunity is certainly not to be missed.
"Okay, let's go together." Ye Ming was very happy. Fang Yibai was a native of Guyang City and was more familiar with this place than him. It was definitely not a bad thing to have him by his side.
