"As long as I drain you dry, this medicinal cauldron, I can enhance my aptitude and become a dazzling prodigy. It is a blessing from your previous life to die under a peony tonight..."
<...He was always arrogant and domineering in Yanming City, relying on his status as the son of the city lord.
If he lost this identity, he would be like a tiger with its teeth pulled, nothing at all.
Although he was full of doubts and did not understand why his father wanted him to kneel before Fang Han, he knew clearly that he had no choice but to obey.
"Mr. Fang, I'm sorry."
Ye Qianqiu gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words, his voice filled with resentment and unwillingness.
He had been hoping that his father would step in and teach Fang Han a lesson, so that he could vent his anger. But he never expected that he would end up kneeling down and apologizing to Fang Han.
He couldn't help but wonder if his father had really taken a liking to Fang Han and wanted him to become the Ye family's son-in-law.
The thought of this possibility made Ye Qianqiu feel a tightness in his chest. If that were true, he would be so angry that he would die.
"Lord Ye, what kind of show are you putting on?"
Fang Han looked down at Ye Qianqiu kneeling on the ground with a playful smile on his face, then turned to look at Ye Zhong with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
He was also secretly wondering if Ye Zhong, that old fox, had realized that his relationship with the Prince of Zhenbei was unusual, which was why he suddenly changed his attitude and came to apologize.
“Mr. Fang, I was blind to your greatness before and offended you and the Fang family many times. Today I have come to apologize.”
Ye Zhong's attitude was very sincere.
"Oh, I'm just a useless young master of the Fang family, or what Ye Qianqiu calls a 'medicine man.' What am I compared to him?"
Fang Han teased, "Lord Ye, something's definitely fishy here. I think your attitude has changed too much. You're not telling the truth."
“Mr. Fang, I’m telling you the truth. Please don’t be angry. You have to forgive me, otherwise I, Ye, might not be alive today.”
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Zhong said, "Moreover, as long as you forgive me, I will agree to your marriage with my daughter Ye Qianqian. Of course, someone like you cannot be a live-in son-in-law. I will let my daughter marry into the Fang family. There will be no bride price, and there will be a generous dowry."
"What? Father, you really want to marry my sister to this guy? And you don't even want a dowry? What's wrong with you?"
Ye Qianqiu immediately became anxious.
He and Ye Qianqian sometimes argued and bickered, but he always hoped that Ye Qianqian could find a good man to marry.
In his view, Fang Han was nothing more than a drug user; his strength was merely a flash in the pan. How could he possibly marry his sister to Fang Han?
His sister is a great beauty with a good family background. She's the dream girl of countless men in Yanming City, and it's not like she can't get married.
He wondered if his father had been bewitched and his mind was being controlled.
He got so excited that he tried to stand up from the ground.
But Ye Zhong stepped on it again.
This time, Ye Qianqiu was no longer kneeling; he was trampled and forced to crawl on the ground.
"Shut up! If you spout any more nonsense, I'll cripple you, you unfilial son."
Ye Zhong continued to curse.
Ye Qianqiu was pinned to the ground, struggling to breathe and unable to utter a word.
Moreover, he realized that his father was truly angry with him this time, so even if he could speak, he dared not.
"Lord Ye, whether I can forgive you depends on the attitude of your apology."
Fang Han said, "You were very unfriendly when you came to my Fang family the last two times, as if you wanted to devour me alive. As for your offer of Ye Qianqian to me, there's no need for that. I have no interest in Ye Qianqian. Don't think that I would curry favor with any powerful or influential people. In my eyes, you, the city lord, are not powerful or influential at all. If I really wanted to curry favor with someone powerful and influential, wouldn't it be better to find Princess Qingluan? But I don't even want Princess Qingluan, let alone Ye Qianqian."
"You don't even like the princess? You bastard, you can't live without bragging."
Ye Qianqiu cursed inwardly, but his father, Ye Zhong, stomped him to the ground, so he had no choice but to shut up.
Fang Han's words startled Ye Zhong even more. Fang Han had even rejected Princess Xiao Qingluan's advances, so he certainly didn't think much of Ye Qianqian.
Because Princess Xiao Qingluan's beauty is no less than Ye Qianqian's, and her status is much more noble than Ye Qianqiu's.
And how could someone who could refuse the princess's advances be an ordinary person?
“Mr. Fang, if you do not like my daughter, then I will definitely order her to stop harassing you.”
Ye Zhong reacted immediately. Now he knew that it wasn't Fang Han who seduced Ye Qianqian at all, but Ye Qianqian who had taken a liking to Fang Han. Otherwise, Ye Qianqian wouldn't have said that she liked Fang Han at Wu Lei and Su Qianyu's engagement party.
This is enough to show that Ye Qianqian has truly fallen in love with Fang Han.
He knew Ye Qianqian's personality well; if she liked something, she would definitely get it.
Even if Fang Han doesn't like Ye Qianqian, Ye Qianqian will still take the initiative to pursue him.
For Fang Han, Ye Qianqian's pursuit was a source of distress.
"Lord Ye, it seems you are a wise man."
Fang Han then glanced at Ye Zhong and said, "Tell me why you've come to apologize."
“Mr. Fang, I had two conflicts with the Fang family and you, and I felt I had lost face, so I wrote a letter to Lord Guo Tianyi, the Commandant of Tianyuan County. Lord Guo Tianyi is Jiang Hong’s uncle.”
Ye Zhongdao.
"Lord Ye, your tactic of using someone else to do your dirty work is quite clever."
Fang Han sneered: "So you're not here to apologize today, but to show off. Is Commandant Guo Tianyi about to come to Yanming City to cause me trouble?"
"Mr. Fang, you've misunderstood."
Ye Zhong hurriedly said, "Prefect Guo Tianyi did indeed come to Yanming City. He went directly to the City Lord's Mansion to find me. He knows your identity and saw through my scheme to deliver the letter. If I don't get your forgiveness, he will kill me."
“It seems that Commandant Guo is much more meticulous than you in handling matters. You and I have clashed twice, but you were blinded by anger.”
Fang Han said calmly.
He now understood that Ye Zhong had come to apologize because he knew that Ye Zhong was the Supreme Guest Elder of the Demon Suppression Division and that Ye Zhong possessed divine sense power and was a powerful expert in the Divine Sense Realm.
In reality, he was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, the same level as Ye Zhong, but much stronger.
“Mr. Fang, I apologize for what happened before. In the future, in Yanming City, I will not refuse to do anything you need me to do.”
Ye Zhong released his foot from Ye Qianqiu and bowed respectfully to Fang Han.
“Father, he was just a good-for-nothing idiot before, what kind of status could he have?”
Ye Qianqiu got up and said something sarcastic.
Ye Chong turned around and looked at Ye Qianqiu with eyes as sharp as knives.
Now, he truly wishes he had never given birth to such a wicked son.
