"Ye Zhong, this was told to me personally by the Prince of Zhenbei. Moreover, Fang Han once saved the Prince of Zhenbei's life!"
Guo Tianyi's gaze was fixed on Ye Zhong, a complex look flashing in his eyes, and his tone was filled with unwavering certainty.
Guo Tianyi looked at Ye Zhong with a cold expression and said in a deep voice, "Think about it. I rode hundreds of miles on horseback to find you. Did I do it just to deceive you?"
He exuded a chilling killing intent, like the cold wind of winter cutting into one's skin. This killing intent showed no signs of dissipating, as if he would attack without hesitation if Ye Zhong made the slightest mistake or uttered a single wrong word.
thump!
Ye Zhong's face turned deathly pale instantly, his expression changing several times before his knees buckled and he knelt straight down in front of Guo Tianyi.
At this moment, his heart was in turmoil, filled with regret and fear.
"My lord, I do indeed have some personal grudges with Fang Han. I visited the Fang family twice before, but Fang Han completely disregarded me. At the time, I thought he was just arrogant and conceited. But now, thinking about it carefully, I realize how foolish I was. His strength far surpasses mine. He is not some legendary fool or good-for-nothing; he is clearly a true prodigy! Compared to him, I am nothing but an ant on the ground, as different as clouds and mud, a world apart!"
Ye Zhong recalled the first time he led a group to the Fang family.
That time, it was because his daughter, Ye Qianqian, had a conflict with someone at the Fang family, but he didn't know that the other party was Princess Xiao Qingluan.
Because Fang Han spoke up for Princess Xiao Qingluan, he was furious and immediately ordered his heavily armored soldiers to fire a volley of arrows at Fang Han.
However, a strange thing happened: the crossbow bolts hovered in mid-air before falling to the ground.
At that moment, the Prince of Zhenbei happened to appear, and he subconsciously assumed that the Prince of Zhenbei had controlled the crossbow with his divine power.
But now that I think about it, it seems that the King of Zhenbei was only at the Foundation Establishment stage at that time, and had not yet reached the Divine Sense stage. He simply could not control the crossbow with his divine sense.
The truth is now clear: it was Fang Han who did all of this.
"My lord, I was wrong, terribly wrong! I will go to the Fang family right now and apologize to Fang Han in person!"
Ye Zhong was extremely anxious, his tone full of sincerity and urgency.
"Alright, if you can gain Fang Han's forgiveness, I will forgive you this time."
Guo Tianyi nodded slightly, his gaze still sharp as an eagle's. "I'll stay at the City Lord's Mansion for now and wait for your news."
"Yes, sir. The Wu family and Su Qianyu are holding an engagement ceremony today, and Fang Han and Su Qianyu were previously engaged, and they have not officially dissolved their engagement. Now there are rumors that Fang Han will definitely attend Wu Lei and Su Qianyu's engagement banquet today. In my opinion, the Wu family is probably doomed and will suffer a great calamity."
Ye Zhong slowly stood up, his face still showing lingering fear. "I will immediately go to Lin Yin Pavilion, where the wedding banquet is being held, to find Fang Han and apologize to him."
Despite being a Foundation Establishment Realm expert, Ye Zhong was usually calm and composed, remaining unfazed even if Mount Tai collapsed before him.
But at this moment, his back was already soaked with cold sweat, and he was shrouded in immense fear.
At this moment, he finally understood why the Zhao family had been hiding and dared not show their faces after Zhao Jian was killed. It turned out that Zhao Jian had really died by Fang Han's sword. The Zhao family had not encountered any other powerful enemies, but had offended the Fang family and provoked someone they should not have provoked.
Just as Ye Zhong had arranged for Guo Tianyi to stay at the City Lord's Mansion and was about to go find Fang Han, one of his trusted subordinates hurriedly walked in.
"Reporting to the city lord, something terrible has happened."
This trusted subordinate knelt on one knee in front of Ye Zhong.
"What's the matter that you're in such a hurry?"
Ye Zhong snorted coldly and said, "Report immediately."
"At the banquet at Lin Yin Pavilion, Fang Han threw Chu Sheng, the young master of the Chu family, into the Baijiang River, killed Wu Tianhao, a novice Martial Grandmaster of the Wu family, and crippled Wu Lei, the only son of the Wu family. Just as Wu Zhenyu was about to fight Fang Han, Miss Ye Qianqian intervened, saying that she liked Fang Han and wanted to recruit him as her son-in-law. However, Young Master Ye did not want Miss Ye to interfere in the affairs of the Fang and Wu families, so he pressed her pressure points. Later, the Prince of Zhenbei arrived..."
The trusted confidant quickly recounted everything that had happened at the Lin Yin Pavilion banquet.
“My daughter has good taste; she actually fell for Fang Han, whom everyone disapproved of.”
Ye Zhong muttered something to himself and immediately became happy.
If Fang Han really becomes his son-in-law, his status will definitely rise accordingly.
However, the messenger was unaware of the conflict that would later occur between Ye Qianqiu and Fang Han.
Ye Qianqiu made an excuse to Ye Qianqian that he had other important matters to attend to, and then hurriedly left Lin Yin Pavilion ahead of time.
In reality, Ye Qianqiu had nothing else to do. He felt that Fang Han might sneak away through the secret door of Lin Yin Pavilion, so he led a group of his men and rushed to the vicinity of Fang's house, intending to wait for him and catch him red-handed.
Ye Qianqiu knew very well that he couldn't let Ye Qianqian get involved in teaching Fang Han a lesson.
If he really intended to kill Fang Han, given Ye Qianqian's personality, she would definitely oppose it fiercely. In that case, he would be hesitant to act and would be unable to do anything.
"So, Fang Han must have gone back to the Fang family?"
Ye Zhong suppressed his inner turmoil, looked at his trusted subordinate with a serious expression, and pressed for an answer.
"They must have gone home."
His trusted subordinate nodded quickly, answering decisively.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhong immediately waved his hand and said, "Prepare the horses, gather the men, and come with me to the Fang family. This time, I will definitely apologize to Fang Han in person!"
