Fang Chen and the four swordsmen walked on the mountaintop. The wind blew the black hair at the temples of the four swordsmen, making the four women even more fresh and refined.
"Take these Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) and practice them. Once you master them, they will be very effective in saving your lives." Fang Chen's heart stirred, and he took out the Lingbo Weibu he had written down and handed it to the four swordsmen. With this Lingbo Weibu, they would have a trump card to save their lives here.
Fang Chen has already mastered the Lingbo Weibu (Lingbo Steps). Their internal strength is not high, so this footwork is good for survival and they can practice it.
"Thank you, Palace Master!"
Ju Jian snatched the manual first, then planted a quick kiss on Fang Chen's cheek before turning and running away like a rabbit.
This scene left Fang Chen somewhat embarrassed.
But Mei Jian, Lan Jian, and Zhu Jian looked on with envy.
"You little rascal!"
Fang Chen shook his head and smiled, gave the four swords a few instructions, and with a long roar, more than a dozen rocket pilots flew over from a distance.
Fang Chen took the rocket booster, pressed a button, and soared into the sky.
"Palace Master, please return soon!"
Yes, it will.
...
A small farmhouse.
Wang Yuyan sat at the stone table, her hands supporting her chin.
"Yu Yan, I'm back." Fang Chen landed slowly in the courtyard.
His gaze swept across the area, where more than a dozen rocket pilots stood guard not far away.
"Brother Fang, where did you go? I'm so scared all alone without you here..." Wang Yuyan glanced at Fang Chen and said with a hint of reproach.
"Ah, I saw you were asleep, so I went back to Lingjiu Palace." Fang Chen smiled and stepped forward, holding Wang Yuyan's small hands. "Don't be afraid, I'm here. If you still feel lonely, I'll go to Lingjiu Palace and transfer ten disciples to keep you company."
"Okay, Brother Fang, I'm not lonely with you by my side." Wang Yuyan gently leaned her head against Fang Chen's chest and murmured.
"I will be by your side."
“Brother Fang, marriages are arranged by matchmakers. Let’s go back to Mantuo Manor and inform my mother so she can make the decision, okay?” Wang Yuyan nestled her head into Fang Chen’s arms.
Her soft hands also tightened their embrace around his strong waist.
"good!"
Fang Chen nodded.
Now that we're in the car, it's only natural to meet my parents.
...
Mantuo Villa.
The entire resort is adorned with vibrant colors, with various peonies vying for attention.
In a courtyard, Madam Wang sat on a small table with an old zither in front of her.
The music was somber, conveying a deep longing.
There was also a hint of resentment and hatred in it.
At that moment, an old woman with a hunched back walked in.
"Madam, Miss has returned, and she brought a young man with her." Upon hearing the old woman's report, Madam Wang opened her beautiful eyes, her face suddenly darkening. "Don't you know the rules of Mantuo Manor—men are not allowed to enter?"
"Madam, I know I was wrong." The old woman's expression suddenly changed, and she knelt down, trembling all over.
She knew the rules of Mantuo Manor, but she couldn't resist her mistress's pleading and agreed.
"Since you know you're wrong, why don't you chop this stinking man up and use him as fertilizer?" Madam Wang said sternly.
"Yes, Madam!"
The old woman suddenly looked up, a fierce glint in her old eyes, and with a quick movement of her hands, she lunged at Fang Chen.
"Mother-in-law, no..."
Seeing the old woman make a move, Wang Yuyan quickly stepped in front of Fang Chen.
"Yan'er, you..."
When Madam Wang saw Wang Yuyan actually standing in front of the man, she was furious. But the next moment, she was stunned when she saw Granny Ding being held by the man her daughter had brought back.
"What a vicious old woman!"
Fang Chen unleashed the Northern Darkness Divine Art, generating a massive suction force that instantly drained Granny Ding's internal energy, transforming it into nourishment for Fang Chen's growing internal energy.
"You...you drained my inner strength!?"
The old woman, Granny Ding, was terrified. Her inner strength was greatly diminished, and the skin on her face became much more wrinkled, making her look more than ten years older.
"Who are you to have come to my Mantuo Manor? What are your intentions?" Upon seeing this, Madam Wang suddenly stood up.
The man's martial arts skills were truly unfathomable; even she herself couldn't see through them.
"Could it be that those vile women sent them to harm me?" Madam Wang looked at Fang Chen, her eyes flickering.
