My System Seems Different from Theirs

“What? You’re saying that even with half a million troops under my command, the Emperor still suspects me of treason?”

“Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence....

Chapter 867 Useless Person 1 (2/2)

Yes, she had met Fang Congyun by chance a long time ago. The two were attracted to each other and developed feelings for each other. Even now, Fang Congyun often sneaks into her room. It's safe there, and Fang Zhiyi won't come in without her permission.

Fang Zhiyi continued living her previous life, and after arguing with Huan'er, she would excitedly wander outside.

He had previously met a family of three in the suburbs. They were honest and kind. When Fang Zhiyi asked for water, the old man was very enthusiastic. Fang Zhiyi chatted with him and listened to him talk about things he didn't know. Fang Zhiyi listened with great interest. However, when Fang Zhiyi took out gold and silver, the old man repeatedly declined.

“Our family is poor, but we can fill our stomachs. This money would only be a burden. If you are so kind, young master, you should help those who can’t even afford to eat.”

Since that incident, Fang Zhiyi has paid special attention to impoverished people, and whenever she encounters them, she gives them money.

When many scions of prominent families learned of this, they all mocked Fang Zhiyi, saying that she was indeed born to be a beggar leader.

Fang Zhiyi knew that Jian Xiaoyu didn't like him, so he tried his best not to bother her. For him, finding opportunities to go out and see the world was the most interesting thing.

It was only when she went to Old Li's house on the outskirts of the city that Fang Zhiyi smelled a burning smell, followed by the sound of people crying and shouting.

Fang Zhiyi ran forward. At this time, the row of houses in the suburbs had been burned to charcoal, and corpses were scattered everywhere. Many people were still desperately calling out to their families with injuries.

Fang Zhiyi did not hesitate and began to help. When he found Old Li's house, he discovered that Old Li and his family were all dead.

The two bodies were charred, while Old Li, whom he knew well, was pinned under the collapsed logs by the doorway, his face blackened by soot, his wide eyes filled with terror.

The clash between two powerful cultivators of martial arts had spread to this place.

However, in the end, the two were only taken back by their respective family heads and reprimanded, and they continued to show their faces in public the next day.

Fang Zhiyi felt a lump in her throat, unable to exhale for a long time.

He returned home dejectedly, and no one paid him any attention. He wanted to talk to someone, so he walked towards the courtyard where his wife was, but when he got to the door, he saw Peng Huan'er's body being carried out.

They said that Peng Huan'er stole the lady's jewelry and even tried to attack her, but was accidentally killed by the lady.

Seeing Peng Huan'er's hand fall outside the straw mat, Fang Zhiyi sat down on the ground.

Peng Huan'er couldn't possibly steal, much less attack Jian Xiaoyu; she's not crazy.

Fang Zhiyi saw a familiar figure dart out of his wife's room, then expertly climb over the wall and disappear. He even glanced back at Fang Zhiyi, his eyes full of contempt.

At that moment, he roughly understood what had happened.

He just doesn't know how to cultivate battle qi, but he's not stupid.

Peng Huan'er must have bumped into something. Given that silly girl's personality, she must have said something unpleasant and offended Jian Xiaoyu.

Fang Zhiyi went to his parents' home to seek justice for his friend, but his father scolded him for talking nonsense and disgracing the family.

Then he discovered that everyone in his family knew about his brother's affair with his wife, but they were all pretending not to see it.

Yes, Fang Congyun is exceptionally talented and has already reached the fifth level of Dou Qi at a young age. Given time, he may very well become a powerful Dou Zong, while Fang Congyun is just a useless eldest son of the Fang family.
