Fang Qing looked at him suspiciously.
"You think too highly of me. More than ten years ago, I was just an insignificant little girl in Anjia Village. Where would I have found you?"
Gao Ren opened his mouth.
But didn't you find Zhao Shi'an?
But then I think about it, and that's not it.
Heaven has been on Zhao Shi'an's side from the very beginning.
Otherwise, why would Fang Qing be by Zhao Shi'an's side instead of watching him?
In the end, he was the one abandoned by the world.
"Never mind, goodbye."
Gao Ren closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, looking like he didn't want to talk.
Fang Qing looked at him like this, and thought of his tragic childhood, and felt a pang of sympathy.
In such an era, there are many people who have experienced what Zhao Shi'an and Gao Ren did. However, Zhao Shi'an was the protagonist of the world as set by the system, and after he collapsed, she, the mission taker, came to save him.
But Gao Ren and his friends weren't so lucky.
"Some things are the world's fault, not yours. Instead of waiting for someone else to save you, you might as well save yourself."
After saying this, Fang Qing left.
Gao Ren's eyelashes trembled slightly as he opened his eyes and followed her back.
Even after Fang Qing left the courtyard, he still didn't look away.
He stared blankly for a long time, and then let out a cold laugh.
There was a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Once he gets what he wants, he can do whatever he wants.

Not long after Fang Qing returned home, Zhao Shi'an also came back.
He walked in while talking to Xiao Liu, and stopped at the door after crossing the corridor.
"Send someone to keep an eye on things, make sure they don't reveal their whereabouts. Go."
Xiao Liu left, and Zhao Shi'an went inside.
Fang Qing was organizing the documents when she glanced up at him and noticed that Zhao Shi'an's clothes weren't in much better condition either, which meant that he must have been soaked by the sudden downpour that morning.
"Change your clothes, I've prepared hot water for you."
Zhao Shi'an leaned over and kissed Fang Qing before going inside to change his clothes.
I didn't even put on my clothes properly when I came out; I just dried my hair as I came out.
His already beautiful face, now exposed with his muscular chest, made the maids serving him in the room blush and their hearts race. The maid who was giving Fang Qing a large fan almost dropped the fan in her hand.
"Get out."
Zhao Shi'an glanced at them and gave the order in a cold voice.
In an instant, the two maids, who had just been blushing and excited, turned pale and hurriedly responded before leaving.
Fang Qing looked up at him.
Who made you angry?
"Your man is being eyed by other men, and you're still asking me this?"
Fang Qing paused for a moment and looked up at him.
Who cares about you?
Zhao Shi'an almost laughed in anger when he heard her words.
"So you don't know? Take those two maids, for example. Every time I'm here, they're always giving me flirtatious glances. A few days ago, Xiao Liu even caught a maid trying to wash my clothes, and yesterday another maid brought me tea to the study."
Zhao Shi'an and Fang Qing's clothes and bedding were washed by the old women in the mansion. Young maids were generally not allowed to handle them. Firstly, they were afraid that the young girls would feel embarrassed if they saw certain things, and secondly, they were afraid that the maids would have inappropriate thoughts and tamper with them.
As for Zhao Shi'an's study, apart from Fang Qing, even Xiao Liu needed Zhao Shi'an's permission to enter or leave, let alone the servants in the mansion.
"I really hadn't paid attention to those things."
Zhao Shi'an was even more unhappy.
"I've never seen a lady so lax with the women around the head of the family. Luckily, I don't have that kind of mindset, otherwise I would have had three wives and four concubines long ago."
Fang Qing put down the documents in her hand.
She was indeed too trusting of the people around Zhao Shi'an.
She always viewed her relationship with Zhao Shi'an through the lens of modern thinking, forgetting that this was a patriarchal world where the laws did not protect monogamy.
Zhao Shi'an had no intention of betraying her, but he couldn't stop those who wanted to climb up to him and become his master.
Especially since she's often away from home and doesn't seem to care much about things at home, it makes it easier for people to take advantage of her.
"Then I'll replace the people in the manor tomorrow," Fang Qing said.
Zhao Shi'an forced a smile onto his face.
"It's not that bad. The two servants in our room take good care of you."
Fang Qing glanced at him.
"They care more about you, so let's switch to a different one, otherwise it won't be comfortable to use."
Zhao Shi'an was pleased.
"You decide what to do, I'll do whatever you say."
After discussing this, Fang Qing suddenly remembered what happened during the day and told Zhao Shi'an about it.
"Living Buddha Temple?"
"Yes, I heard it from the people at the experimental field. I think everyone here in Jiaozhou knows about it."
Zhao Shi'an composed himself.
“I know about the Living Buddha Temple. The Southern King goes to the temple to burn incense on the first and fifteenth of every month. But after hearing what you said today, I feel that there is a big problem with this Living Buddha Temple.”
If this temple didn't hold some secret, no one would spend so much money every year to support it.
"I'll have someone investigate."
Zhao Shi'an went out and had someone call Xiao Liu over, instructing him to handle the matter.
"Be careful during the operation. I heard that the temple houses many martial monks," Fang Qing said.
"yes."
Fang Qing and Zhao Shi'an had the same idea.
If there's one place where the Prince of Nan could hide Gao Wancheng without Zhao Shi'an's men being able to track him down, it's probably only that place.
Xiao Liu and his group took action that very night, bringing several skilled individuals up the mountain.
Just as Fang Qing had said, this temple was not only formidable in its monks, but also for its surroundings, which were riddled with traps.
