Because he was wearing a mask, no one recognized him when he entered the city or after he entered.

By 9:00 AM, he had already returned to the Fang family home.

The Fang family has been in Yanming City for hundreds of years. Although they are only a second-rate family, the Fang family ancestral home still occupies a large area and is very impressive.

The ancestral home is inhabited by the direct descendants of the Fang family; collateral relatives are not allowed to live there.

The previous head of the Fang family was Fang Han's grandfather, Fang Gaoyang.

The current head of the family is Fang Han's father, Fang Zhendong.

Therefore, Fang Han is indeed the eldest son of the Fang family.

He grew up in the Fang family's ancestral home.

He was taken away and secretly imprisoned by Su Qianyu to be refined into a medicine man. Then, he awakened his memories of his past life. During this month or so, he suffered a lot of torment outside. Now that he is back, everything feels familiar.

He knew that although he had memories of his previous life, this was ultimately a new life for him.

When Fang Han rode his horse to the gate of the ancestral home, he sensed that the atmosphere in the Fang family was somewhat different today.

There are usually only four guards at the gate, but today there are twelve, and each of them is armed, looking very vigilant.

But he knew that, given the current situation, the Zhao and Su families probably hadn't come looking for trouble yet, so his return wasn't too late.

After dismounting, Fang Han went straight in through the main gate.

"Who goes there? Why are you trespassing on my property?"

But Fang Han was quickly stopped by the guards at the door.

The leader of these twelve guards was a middle-aged man named Fang Polu, who was a member of a collateral branch of the Fang family and had a cultivation level of a beginner-level martial artist. The other guards were all martial artists recruited by the Fang family and had a cultivation level of a mid-level martial artist.

"It's me."

Fang Han removed his mask, revealing his face.

"Young Master, are you really not dead? Then you'd better leave quickly. That brat Fang Mahu has already told the Elders' Hall about you killing Zhao Jian. The Zhao family doesn't know yet, but the collateral branches of the family say you were reckless. The elders of the family are currently discussing in the Elders' Hall, and they want to arrest you and deal with you. They even want to remove your father from the position of family head."

After a moment of surprise, Old Xu, a guard in his fifties, turned to Fang Han and said...

He had watched Fang Han grow up, and his concern for her was evident in his words.

Upon hearing Old Xu's words, Fang Han instantly understood the Fang family's situation, which was roughly as he had predicted. Before the Zhao family had even arrived, internal strife had already begun.

"Trying to leave? How can we let this idiot go? If we don't hand him over to the Zhao family, our Fang family will be finished. You lot, arrest him right now!"

Fang Polu, the head guard, sneered and then gave orders to the other guards.

Six guards immediately surrounded Fang Han.

"What are you doing? This is our young master! How dare you arrest him?"

Old Xu, along with four other guards, blocked the six guards.

Clearly, these guards were also divided into two factions.

One faction stood on the side of the family head, Fang Zhendong, and therefore protected Fang Han.

The other faction wanted to remove Fang Zhendong from power, so they naturally had to suppress Fang Han.

“Old Xu, I know you are Fang Zhendong’s confidant, but the Fang family has been weakened and is getting worse because of Fang Han, that good-for-nothing and idiot. If you really want the Fang family to be better, then help capture Fang Han and hand him over to the Elders’ Hall for disposal.”

Fang Polu frowned and said to Old Xu.

He probably didn't expect that, even in such a turbulent time, there would still be quite a few people on Fang Han and Fang Zhendong's side.

“The Elders’ Council is currently holding a meeting. Fang Polu, you have no right to arrest the young master.”

Old Xu and the other four guards refused to give an inch.

“Following Fang Zhendong has no future for you. He’s about to step down. A wise person knows when to yield. You should think more about your own future.”

Fang Polu's aura surged, and he looked at Lao Xu and the other three, threatening, "If you don't move aside, don't blame me for using force."

"Fang Polu, this is treason!"

Old Xu glared at Fang Polu. Although he knew he was no match for Fang Polu, he was not weak in terms of momentum and stood in front of Fang Han to protect him.

Fang Han was deeply moved by this scene.

Although he was the eldest son of the Fang family, he had very low talent for cultivation since childhood. He consumed a lot of the Fang family's resources but did not see any results. However, many people in the Fang family still treated him respectfully as the eldest son. Even though he was mentally challenged for three years, he was not bullied.

Of course, many people were dissatisfied with him and his parents, but because his father, Fang Zhendong, was the head of the Fang family, these people did not dare to show their dissatisfaction.

But now that the Fang family has offended the Zhao family, one of the three major families in Yanming City, some people are eager to jump out.

Fang Han agreed to leave for two days as her parents suggested, because she wanted to wait for these people in the family to reveal their true colors.

Now it seems that everything is as he predicted.

"Then I'll deal with you first, then I'll capture Fang Han!"

Fang Polu snorted coldly and struck out with a palm towards Old Xu.

His palm strike instantly tore through the air, its power astonishing.

He was a beginner-level martial artist, while Old Xu was only a mid-level martial artist. He could kill Old Xu in just a few moves.

The strategy is to shoot the horse first, and once he gets rid of Old Xu, the other four guards will definitely not dare to help Fang Han.

"You dare to hurt someone right in front of me? Then I'll teach you a lesson!"

Before Lao Xu could make a move, Fang Han said calmly and stepped in front of Lao Xu, meeting Fang Polu's attack with a palm strike.

His palm technique is called the Cloud Piercing Palm. When he strikes, it is gentle and silent. Although it is not a top-tier palm technique, it is more than enough to deal with Fang Polu.

"You foolish young master, do you think that just because you killed Zhao Jian with your father's help, you can look down on me?"
