Chapter 8 - Returning One by One (1/2)

Proofread by Nie Qiao

“Did you hear that the third childe of Fang clan, Fang Li, was beaten by crap Feng of Yuan family. He is believed to be given dozens of slaps across his face, barely like a human.”

“How could it be? The crap Feng of Yuan clan has been stuck on the second level of Ning Yuan Realm for so many years, while Fang Li childe is an expert at the peak of the fourth level of Ning Yuan Realm. The rumor is too exaggerated.

“Rumor? You are wrong about this. I witnessed the whole process with my naked eyes. It is absolutely true. You didn’t see that crap Feng had such a breathtaking speed with an unknown footwork that Fang Li hads been given dozens of slaps before reacting. The most miserable people are the Fang Li’s two escorts who were crippled by crap Feng. It is said that they have become disabled and will never stand up for the rest of their lives!”

“Ay, I cannot believe this is true. How can crap Feng become so formidable? Did he desperately pretend to be a coward before?

“Maybe, but most people conjecture that crap Feng might have obtained some windfalls when he fell down off the cliff in Black Maple’s woods so that he could make a sudden breakthrough and acquire the invincible footwork.”

“Hey-hey, we can have something fun to watch. According to Fang Li’s disposition, he will never leave the matter at that. It is difficult to say whether this conflict will rise to a conflict of the two families or not.”

Streets and lanes, teahouses and restaurants, almost everywhere in Mukden County is inundated with the story that Yuan Feng has beaten the third childe of Fang clan. At first, everyone thinks it is a rumor. After all, it is impossible for an acknowledged crap to defeat an expert of the fourth level of Ning Yuan Realm.

However, too many rumors can confuse what is right or wrong. Likewise, a repeated slander makes others believe. When more and more eyewitnesses come out, the authenticity of this matter is slowly accepted by the mass. And the comeback of crap Feng of Yuan clan is the quite fresh news for a moment.

Many people have witnessed the eerie footwork of Yuan Feng that day. They speculate that Yuan Feng must have obtained some windfalls in Black Maple’s woods, thus having such changes today. Nevertheless, what is the truth of this fact is still a mystery for everyone at this moment.

However, no matter what is the truth, the hottest headline these days undoubtedly is the story that Yuan Feng hit the third childe of Fang clan in fury.

In the north of Mukden County stands a grand mansion, above whose front door glimmer two gilding frightening characters (方府) “the house of the Fang clan”.

At this time, in the depth of the great mansion relentlessly echo angry roarings and cries.

“Ah-ah-ah, go away, go, I have ordered that nobody can bother me, go away!”

In the extravagant yard, the third childe of Fang clan, Fang Li, knocks a tea table down with his foot, shouting towards the outside of the door as madly as a hatter.

It has been already three days since he was beaten. The bruises and swelling on his face have been reduced but some fingerprints are still left. Within the three days, he has shut himself away in the house, refusing to see anybody. However, as long as he recalls that he has been trampled all over by Yuan Feng in public, he becomes extremely irritable from the bottom of his heart.

“Knock, knock, knock!”

The person still knocks the door, and doesn’t stop in spite of his soaring.

“Ah, I have said I don’t want to see anyone. Go away at once!” Hearing the knock again, Fang Li wishes that he could go out to kill the man. But at the thought of his present look, he has no face to see anybody.

“He-he, third bro, what makes you so angry as to not recognize your second bro?”

Just as Fang Li gnashes his teeth in anger and hatred, a mild laughter comes from the outside of the door. Hearing the voice, the anger on Fang Li’s face immediately vanishes with astonishment instead.

“Second bro?”

With a shocked expression, he hesitates a little before running to open the front door.

With the door opened, a young man comes into view at once. The man looks like eighteen or nineteen, with starry eyes and dashing brows. He wears a white robe with a golden wafer dangling around his waist. On the wafer, two characters “云霄”( the skies) are true to life, just like the stars in the night.

“Second bro, it is really you, you come back!” After verifying the coming person, Fang Li bubbles over with excitement at once.

The coming person is nobody but the second childe of Fang clan, Fang Yu, who is the only martial spirit warrior across Mukden County and the disciple of Yun Xiao Sect now.

“Ay, it appears that the hearsay is true. Third bro, you make me so disappointed.”

The gaze of Fang Yu falls down on Fang Li’s face at first. Seeing the scars on Fang Li’s face, he can’t help shaking his head with a sigh, then immediately walking towards the interior of the yard.

“Second bro…”

Hearing the words of Fang Yu, Fang Li wants to say something, but swallows back the words on the tip of his tongue. In Fang clan, the person he is most afraid of is undoubtedly the biological elder brother of him. He has the courage to contradict anyone but Fang Yu.

“Tell me what the hell has happened. Our offspring of Fang clan cannot be bullied without any cause or reason.”
