Looking at Fang Wang before him, Gu Tianxiong’s heart was filled with too many emotions. Even after a day and a night, the shock in his heart had not yet dissipated.
The first time he saw the name Fang Wang was in a letter from his daughter, Gu Li.
In the letter, Gu Li claimed to have been defeated by a young man named Fang Wang, whose cultivation was only at the seventh layer of the Qi Cultivation Realm, with a single sword strike.
At that time, Gu Tianxiong was angry. He had high hopes for Gu Li and did not want his precious daughter to lose her confidence just after entering the Great Abyss Gate, so he encouraged her in his reply to challenge Fang Wang again after her Spiritual Refinement.
The second letter arrived at the Gu Family very soon. Gu Tianxiong was silent for a long time after reading it. His daughter had been defeated once again; one defeat could be an accident, but another defeat was enough to show a gap in talent. And his daughter, who had an Earth Origin Spirit Treasure, lost to a boy younger than her, not once, but twice. This made him begin to take Fang Wang seriously for the first time and even look forward to his future.
In the days that followed, every letter Gu Li sent back contained the words Fang Wang.
Eventually, Gu Tianxiong decided to invest in Fang Wang, instructing Gu Li to pass on the Divine Nurturing Sword Qi to him.
The Divine Nurturing Sword Qi was the signature ultimate skill of the Gu
Family. The stronger one’s talent was, the more powerful their Divine
Nurturing Sword Qi. He was confident that Fang Wang would still use the Divine Nurturing Sword Qi after becoming powerful, and by then, Fang Wang’s reputation would bolster that of the Gu Family wherever he went.
Indeed, as he had expected, when Fang Wang used the Divine Nurturing Sword Qi to slay the Great Demon King yesterday, it left Gu Tianxiong astonished.
Eyes emitting Sword Qi!
What an accomplishment!
Gu Tianxiong remembered how he felt when he learned that Fang Wang’s Lifespirit Treasure was actually a Heaven Yuan Spirit Treasure. At that time, he had left the Gu Family, and upon hearing the news, his first reaction was disbelief, at most he thought it could be an excellent Earth Origin Spirit Treasure.
Until later…
Fang Wang powerfully defeated thirteen of the current world’s top talents!
From then on, the Heaven Yuan Spirit Treasure was confirmed as true!
At that moment, Gu Tianxiong felt the same as his daughter; Fang Wang, who showed no aura in front of him, seemed to shine with dazzling brilliance.
He seemed to see those legendary figures of ancient myths living right before his eyes.
One day, Fang Wang would undoubtedly become the most powerful cultivator in Da Qi, and his fame would not be limited to Da Qi alone!
Gu Tianxiong looked at Fang Wang with fervent eyes and could not help but say, “Fang Wang, how about I betroth my daughter to you?”
Upon hearing this, Fang Wang hurriedly replied, “How can that be possible!”
“Impossible!”
The voice of Fang Hanyu came through as he quickly stepped forward in front of Fang Wang, staring intently at Gu Tianxiong with his daunting Absolute Heart Evil Eye.
Gu Tianxiong felt a chill in his heart under that gaze, but still asked somewhat displeased, “Why not? My daughter is a peerless beauty, and her Lifespirit Treasure is of Earth Elemental grade. Looking across Da Qi, there is no second woman more suitable for Fang Wang than her!” Fang Hanyu said coldly, “Fang Wang is already engaged!”
“What?”
Fang Wang and Gu Tianxiong exclaimed in unison. The brothers exchanged looks and then both turned toward Fang Hanyu.
“His fiancée is Zhou Xue, also one of the top five talents of the Great Abyss Gate, and moreover, she was raised by our Fang Family!” Fang Hanyu stated seriously.
Fang Wang looked confused, and Fang Hanyu quickly pulled him away.
Gu Tianxiong was anxious; he could not follow them and could only call out, “Fang Wang, even if not as the primary wife, being a concubine is also fine. My daughter is so beautiful, don’t you know?”
Fang Wang did feel tempted upon hearing these words, but Fang Hanyu was dragging him away.
“Even if you’re not interested, a failed deal doesn’t break friendship, don’t let those jumbled words I said reach my daughter, alright!” Upon hearing Gu Tianxiong’s remark, Fang Wang was speechless.
No wonder he was so enthusiastic!
The fear was of being exposed!
Fang Wang followed Fang Hanyu into the Sword Saint’s transfigured attic, while Xiao Zi was not with him, still at the lakeside devouring the flesh and blood of the Great Demon King. It was a Demon King after all, and other cultivators couldn’t handle it. Moreover, Fang Wang’s face carried weight.
Fang Hanyu looked at Fang Wang and said in a low voice, “This is what grandfather and all the uncles think, and the fourth uncle agrees too. Zhou Xue has truly helped the Fang Family a lot, but ultimately, she is a woman. If she were to marry someone else, how would the Fang Residence get along with her then?”
Fang Wang frowned and said, “That doesn’t seem right. Matters of the heart should be about mutual affection, and we can’t make decisions for Zhou Xue.” Even if he wanted to, he didn’t have that power!
“Of course, it’s not about coercion. But if you take the initiative, it may be possible. Zhou Xue clearly cares about you the most, and you two are the closest. Furthermore, the more outstanding the woman, the more she yearns for a hero. With your talent as a Heaven Yuan Spirit Treasure, to tell the truth, I can’t imagine any other man fitting in her eyes except for you.” Fang Hanyu spoke earnestly.
Indeed, there might be no one in this world…
But not necessarily in the heavens…
Fang Wang mused, also a vigorous young man, how could he remain unmoved? But he knew what he wanted.
