Seeing Rong Tianhai's bruised, battered face, and ripped flesh, even Patriarch Fang felt his scalp tingle. What kind of people were they? Too cruel. But despite their cruelty, he was still very happy and grateful that someone had avenged their Fang family's blood feud.
"Is there anything else you want to say?" Mu Hanyan asked after looking at Rong Tianhai who was rolling on the ground after being kicked by Zirong.
"Um... I... I..." Rong Tianhai felt like his whole body was falling apart, tears welled up in his eyes. He just wanted to tell Mu Hanyan that he had nothing to say, really nothing to say.
Unfortunately, before he could finish his stuttering words, Mu Hanyan nodded and said to Zirong, "It seems he has something else to say. I'm most afraid of being threatened. What should I do?"
When she said this, Mu Hanyan still looked scared.
Zirong smiled knowingly and kicked out again.
"Ouch..." Rong Tianhai covered his butt and let out a sharp wolf howl. This time, his butt was really in tatters.
Mu Hanyan's forehead was covered with black lines. With such a handsome face, could you please have a little bit of the moral integrity of a swordsman? Why are you always so dirty when you fight? You must stay away from him from now on. Don't let anyone know that you know him.
"Do you have anything to say now?" Mu Hanyan looked at Rong Tianhai with a smile.
Rong Tianhai looked at Mu Hanyan with tears in his eyes, shaking his head like a rattle. Even if he wanted to say something, could he still speak now?
"That's right. I've said that I'm most afraid of being threatened. If you don't threaten me, nothing will happen, right?" Mu Hanyan patted his chest, looking relieved.
Rong Tianhai looked at Mu Hanyan and really wanted to curse: Shameless, shameless! You shameless bitch! If you really knew how to be afraid, I wouldn't be beaten like this. Where the hell did this monster come from? Don't look at her smile, her heart is darker than the bottom of a pot.
Of course, he didn't dare to say such words out loud, and he didn't even dare to hum, for fear of "scare" others again.
"Okay, okay, it looks like you don't want to say anything anymore, and I have nothing much to say either. Just go away." Mu Hanyan said, waving her hand as if to shoo away flies.
Rong Tianhai’s teeth were almost broken. Who said he didn’t want to say anything? The key was whether he dared to say it?
Rong Tianhai lowered his head, not wanting Mu Hanyan to see the vicious and hateful look in his eyes, and walked away dejectedly with a group of his men.
"Alas, I hate violence the most. Can you not be so cruel next time?" Mu Hanyan sighed and said to Hua Yue and others.
Old Patriarch Fang stared at Mu Hanyan blankly. Indeed, he was not violent and didn't even attack, but why did he feel that he was more brutal and terrifying than those who attacked?
"I am Fang Xuemao, and I would like to thank you for saving me. May I ask you..." Patriarch Fang shook his head, putting aside the strange feelings in his mind, and came to Mu Hanyan and the others, bowing and speaking. When he saw Qu Shanling, he was slightly startled.
"Haha, Patriarch Fang, do you still remember me?" Qu Shanling said with a smile.
"Are you, Master Qu?" Fang Xuemao stared at him for a long time before saying uncertainly.
"Yes, I am Qu Shanling. It has been more than 20 years since we last met. I didn't expect to see you here again." Qu Shanling said with emotion.
Mu Hanyan then realized that Qu Shanling and Patriarch Fang knew each other. She thought he was showing mercy for once, but it turned out that she was overthinking it.
"Master Qu, it really is you! The art of astrology is indeed a heaven-defying art. It's only been twenty years, and you've aged so much. You look only a few years younger than me." Fang Xuemao excitedly grabbed Qu Celing's arm and said with emotion.
"Uh... this... yes, yes." Qu Shanling's expression froze and he laughed awkwardly.
"Pfft!" Mu Hanyan and the others burst out laughing at the same time. Others didn't know the details of Old Sage Qu, but they all knew that his white hair was dyed and his wrinkles were forced, and that he had nothing to do with astrology at all.
"By the way, Master Qu, you'd better leave quickly. The Rong family has suffered such a great loss, they will definitely not let it go. If they come knocking on our door again, you won't be able to leave. Our Fang family will remember this kindness and will have the chance to repay you in the future." Since they were old friends, Fang Xuemao didn't want to implicate them and said to Qu Shanling anxiously.
"What is the origin of the Rong family? I don't think I have ever heard of such a noble family in the capital?" Qu Shanling asked curiously. This was also Mu Hanyan's question.
"The Rong family is not a noble family in the capital. Like our Fang family, they are a small family in the Dongjianwei Mansion outside the city." Fang Xuemao said.
"It's just a small family of Jianwei Mansion, yet you dare to be so arrogant?" After hearing Fang Xuemao's words, Qu Shanling was even more puzzled.
Jianwei Mansion is a small town that guards the capital. It is no different from other towns in normal times, but becomes a military fortress in wartime.
There are four Sword Guard Houses in the east, west, south and north of the capital, none of which are large in scale. Since the war with Shangyue Kingdom thousands of years ago, Anyun Kingdom has not had a war for a thousand years, so these four Sword Guard Houses have gradually lost their original military use and become purely small towns near the capital.
The Rong family is just a small family in the Jianwei Mansion, how could they be so arrogant and domineering.
"Logically, they don't have the capital to do so. However, in recent years, the Rong family has grown in strength. I heard that they have joined forces with a large family in the capital and have resorted to all means to deal with the other small families. First, they allowed their servants to beat up the children of the other families and bullied the women in the streets. Then, they threatened with force and bought up the properties of the other families at low prices, driving those families out of the Sword Guard Mansion one by one.
"When our Fang family refused to yield, they provoked trouble, severely injuring a young member of our family in public. Then they turned against us, accusing our Fang family members of injuring their Rong family descendants. They brought a host of guards and servants to attack us. Our Fang family was outmatched and suffered heavy casualties. Ultimately, they were forced into a corner and forced to leave their homeland and seek a new livelihood," Fang Xuemao said with a wry smile.
"So that's how it is." Qu Shanling said thoughtfully. If he were in another place, he might be able to stand up for the Fang family, but since others have taken refuge with the big families in the capital, he is powerless.
"So, you'd better leave quickly. Although you are very powerful and the Rong family may not be able to do anything to you, if the family behind them is implicated, it will be difficult for you to leave." Fang Xuemao advised.
"Patriarch Fang, you're worrying too much. What I hate most is people who look down on everyone just because they have a little family background, and who look down on everyone, even the gods. It's just a little family background, isn't it? What's so great about it? There's no need to be afraid of them." Mu Hanyan said indignantly. After hearing this, Zirong and others behind Mu Hanyan all looked strange. They felt that the young master was talking about them. And he was so indignant. Young master, why doesn't your indignant expression seem so unconvincing?
