Celestial Master： I Have an Otherworld

Chapter 519 - 17: Challenge (3)

Especially in recent years, every so often, a person with a strange encounter emerges.

"Report!"

At this moment, someone charged into the grand hall:

"Master, someone from the mansion has sent word that Linghu Changping and Fairy Luoxian from Pure Yang Palace are here to visit."

"Look!"

Fang Zheng extended a finger:

"In your eyes, my strength is still small, but in others’ eyes, I’m merely a stepping stone!"

"Many people want to use me to make a name for themselves, and here they come."

"Master!"

"Master!"

"..."

Fang Zheng returned to Fang Mansion, and along the way, people continuously bowed in respect.

When he arrived at the guest hall, Du Qiaoyun promptly came over to help him take off the cloak used to shield him from the wind and snow.

"Husband."

Linghu Qiuchan smiled:

"Changping has come to see you."

"Uncle!"

"Elder Fang."

Linghu Changping and Luoxian stood side by side; their appearances and temperaments were outstanding, resembling a perfect pair.

Especially Luoxian.

She appeared like a fairy stepping out from a painting.

When Linghu Qiuchan was young, her looks were considered remarkable, but upon seeing this woman, she felt a sense of shame.

"Sit!"

Fang Zheng gestured with one hand:

"We are all not outsiders here, quickly, take a seat, everyone, please sit down!"

"Qiaoyun, the Daoist Sect child Yuan Shan has come and is with Lu Xiang, go check on them."

"Alright." Du Qiaoyun nodded, her eyes showing a trace of concern.

"Don’t worry." Fang Zheng smiled:

"Everything is fine here."

Once everyone was seated, Linghu Qiuchan casually discussed family matters, also checking on the situation of the family in Prefecture City.

"Everything at home is well, except the patriarch is becoming increasingly feeble, finding it hard to manage family affairs effectively."

Linghu Changping said:

"That’s why someone in the clan suggested reconsidering the position of the patriarch."

"Ah!"

Linghu Qiuchan’s expression subtly changed, instinctively looking at Fang Zheng.

"It’s been less than two years, yet they’re discussing the patriarch’s position again?"

Fang Zheng frowned:

"It’s a bit rushed, isn’t it?"

"Indeed." Linghu Changping nodded:

"It is indeed rushed, but there are many affairs within the clan, and the patriarch is getting older, unable to handle many things properly."

"This visit serves two purposes: one is to see uncle and aunt, and the other is to hear your two opinions."

Fang Zheng looked at Linghu Qiuchan.

He, surnamed Fang,

was ultimately an outsider to the Ling Family.

"A married daughter is like water that’s been poured out." Linghu Qiuchan’s eyes drooped, her voice tinged with sorrow:

"I am now a person of the Fang Family; what opinion can I have on the Ling Family’s matters?"

"At my age, I have nothing more to ask for; meeting family during the holidays is already a blessing."

"Indeed."

Fang Zheng reached out, holding his wife’s wrinkled hand, and sighed:

"These are matters of your Ling Family; we are outsiders after all. Handle these things as you see fit."

"Uncle and aunt are being too polite." Linghu Changping shook his head, also showing a smile.

Without Fang Mansion’s support, Linghu Mingquan’s position as patriarch posed no threat to him.

Of course.

That alone wasn’t enough.

"Elder Fang."

At this moment, Luoxian, who had been silent all along, stood up and spoke:

"I’ve long heard of the elder’s great name, and his self-created Heart Intent Fist is unmatched. I wonder if the junior can have the honor to learn a thing or two today?"

Fang Zheng sighed lightly in his heart.

As expected!

These two young people ultimately wanted to suppress me a bit.

However, this girl named Luoxian is quite arrogant, even intending to challenge me alone.

I thought they would join forces.

Hmm!

She is a true disciple of Pure Yang Palace, skilled in both martial and cultivation arts, and has received guidance from a Martial Arts Grandmaster. Although young, her strength is not weak.

Many elders may not be a match.

I have no legacy, dwelling in a county, and my ’self-created’ cultivation technique can only fool the average person; it’s nothing for these sect disciples to reckon with.

With this in mind,

she indeed means no disrespect.

"Very well."

With his thoughts moving, Fang Zheng nodded in agreement.
