The members of the Fang family all showed expressions of barely suppressed excitement.

Even on Mr. Fang Gaoyang's weathered face, a radiant glow seemed to shine through.

Fang Zhendong's eyes were full of anticipation, as if he could already see the moment when his family would return in glory.

Fang Sihai was even more excited.

The Dragon and Phoenix Gathering was a top-level event that brought together young talents from all walks of life, but the Fang family had not participated in it ten years ago.

Fang Sihai participated in it twenty years ago.

At that time, he was a beginner-level martial artist who entered the top eight and was rewarded with a Qi Transformation Pill. He then cultivated diligently for ten years, reached the advanced-level martial artist realm, and then refined the Qi Transformation Pill to reach the beginner-level martial grandmaster realm.

Otherwise, given his talent, he wouldn't have become a Martial Grandmaster ten years ago.

It can be said that the Dragon and Phoenix Gathering changed his life, making him the deputy commander of the Yanming City Command Post of the Demon Suppression Division.

Ten years ago, Fang Sihai was in his early thirties and was no longer qualified to participate in the Dragon and Phoenix Tournament. Among the direct and collateral disciples of the Fang family, no one passed the preliminary rounds to participate in the main tournament.

Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The younger generation of the Fang family originally only had the opportunity to participate in the Dragon and Phoenix Assembly, except for his son, Fang Qing.

However, in Yanming City today, a new generation of experts are emerging, but Fang Qing's level is not as high as it was back then, so naturally he has no hope of entering the top eight and will not be able to get any rewards.

However, now that Fang Qing and Zhou Chi have been cultivating the "Eight Desolations Scripture," their strength has increased by leaps and bounds. Just as Fang Han said, they have a very good chance of success.

The time for the Fang family to rise to power is fast approaching.

"Fang Han, bring your sister back and get to cultivating. You'll definitely become the top of the Dragon Ranking. Fang Qing and Zhou Chi are basically guaranteed to be in the top eight of the Dragon Ranking. The Fang family's name can't be missing from the top eight of the Phoenix Ranking. My Fang family will become the number one family in Yanming City by next year at the latest."

Grandpa Fang Gaoyang said domineeringly.

He is now a high-level Martial Grandmaster, and he has a chance to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm this year.

Therefore, he knew how powerful the "Eight Desolations Scripture" that Fang Han had taught everyone was. As long as they practiced diligently, these core members of the Fang family could at least reach the Divine Sense Realm, or even the Yuan Dan Realm.

In fact, the "Eight Desolations Scripture" is only considered mediocre among Fang Han's cultivation techniques.

Because the Fang family members are not naturally gifted or physically suited to cultivate a top-tier technique like the "Creation Scripture," their meridians and dantian cannot withstand it.

This will only happen when he cultivates the art of harmonious music to a relatively high level, enough to completely change the constitution and bloodline of his family members.

“Grandfather, it’s best to keep today’s events a secret and not let anyone know.”

Fang Han nodded and said, "When Tantai Qiuyue's men arrive, I will go with them to pick up my sister immediately."

...

Meanwhile, Ye Zhong, Ye Meng, and Ye Qianqian were riding their horses back to the city lord's mansion, looking dejected.

Although they were lucky enough to survive this time, the Ye family has certainly left a bad impression on the Prince of Zhenbei.

Ye Zhong originally wanted to develop his career in Tianyuan County, because with his strength, he might become a candidate for the position of Commandant or even Governor of Tianyuan County in the future.

But now this path is basically blocked, because Tianyuan County and Yunhai County are both fiefdoms of Zhenbei King Xiao Zhan. In these two counties, the promotion of officials must be approved by Zhenbei King, especially for high-ranking officials.

Ye Qianqian was riding on the horse, her whole body aching terribly. The whipping earlier had really left her with her skin torn and bleeding.

Therefore, at this moment she hated Fang Han and Xiao Qingluan to the core.

Ye Meng had given her a cloak to cover her clothes, which had been torn by the whip, and some of the bloodstains on her body. Otherwise, if the people along the way had seen her, it would have likely sparked a lot of speculation.

But even if she was willful, she knew that she probably couldn't do anything for Xiao Qingluan in this lifetime, so the only thing she could do was to conquer Fang Han.

She thought that making Fang Han her son-in-law was a really good idea. That way, she could both anger Princess Xiao Qingluan and torment Fang Han in the future.

However, she also felt that Fang Han was a tough nut to crack, and it wouldn't be easy to get past him.

"Why did Godfather, Prince Zhenbei, and Princess Xiao Qingluan suddenly appear at the Fang family? And why is Fang Han still alive?"

Along the way, everyone rode horses in silence, but after a long time, Ye Meng couldn't help but ask Ye Zhong.

"Not long ago, dozens of people from the Yanming City Command of the Demon Suppression Division died in Yin-Yang Mountain. The leader of the team was Fang Sihai from the Fang family. Only one person survived. I'm afraid the King of Zhenbei came to the Fang family to demand an explanation."

Ye Zhongdao.

He made a judgment based on the information he had obtained.

"Father, things might not be like that. Princess Xiao Qingluan is interested in Fang Han. She came to propose marriage. Fang Han is very powerful, and he is nothing like the rumors..."

Ye Qianqian said.

"Shut up, you're talking nonsense again. If you knew so much, if you knew Princess Xiao Qingluan's identity, would you still have asked me to lead the heavily armored city defense troops to settle accounts with her today?"

But Ye Zhong didn't believe Ye Qianqian's words at all. Just as Ye Qianqian was about to say that Fang Han had saved her and Tantai Qiuyue, Ye Zhong rudely interrupted her.

He used to pamper Ye Qianqian and listen to her in everything, but this time, with such a big incident, he was really upset.

Fang Han is an idiot and a good-for-nothing. Although he didn't die, news spread in Yanming City that Su Qianyu was going to marry Zhao Jian and Wu Lei. If Fang Han was really outstanding, why wouldn't Su Qianyu marry him?
