"Shi Family, Shi Chengyi, greets Patriarch Fang Yong."
In the side hall, Shi Chengyi bowed and saluted.
"Oh? You know me?"
"Patriarch Fang is famous and my Shi family has long admired him."
“Hehehe.”
Fang Yong smiled faintly, with a meaningful look in his eyes.
Below, Shi Chengyi had a look of respect and flattery on his face.
The Fang family of Xiangshui City may be slightly weaker than the Zhou family of Yunmeng City in strength, but compared with the Shi family, they are much stronger. At least the Xiangshui City is larger than two Yong'an cities, and there is only one family, the Fang family.
With such strength, he, the elder of the Shi family, had to lose face and even be a little servile.
"Someone, bring the tea."
After hearing this, Shi Chengyi became more confident about the purpose of his trip.
After Shi Chengyi sat down, Fang Yong slowly said:
"I heard that the nobles' Shi Nuan Pavilion business is spread across several cities. Even in my Xiangshui City, there is a noble shop. It seems that the nobles are developing very well."
"Patriarch Fang is joking. Our clan is just a small one. We only own a small piece of land in Yong'an City. How can we compare to the prestige of the Fang family?"
Having said that, there was still a hint of pride on Shi Chengyi's face.
Although the family's strength is not that good, the family business is indeed doing well.
"Oh? Yong'an City? I have some impression of this place. I remember that there are some old friends in my family. It seems that they are in Yong'an City. I wonder if the elder of the Shi clan has seen them?"
Shi Chengyi was stunned. An old friend of the Fang family? In Yong'an City?
He has been in Yong'an City for so long, how come he has never heard of any family having any connection with the Fang family?
But when Shi Chengyi saw the expression on the face of the Fang clan leader, he quickly understood and said with a smile:
"My Shi family still has some influence around Yong'an City. If it is an old noble, the family will definitely be able to recognize him."
Fang Yong nodded slightly after hearing this:
"The family doesn't need to cherish the memory of the deceased, but we just mentioned it when we suddenly remembered it."
"By the way, the elder of the Shi clan came all the way to my Xiangshui City, and specifically asked to see the elder of my Fang clan. I guess he didn't come here for sightseeing, right?"
After chatting for a few sentences, Shi Chengyi asked indifferently.
The family had already inquired about the strength of the Shi family. A family that didn't even have a warrior in the Qi Control Realm was not worthy of being received personally by him, the patriarch. However, considering the remaining people of the Liu family, he made an exception.
He was also a little curious about why the Shi family came all the way to his family.
Hearing Fang Yong's question, Shi Chengyi's face showed a hint of seriousness, but after seeing other people in the side hall, Shi Chengyi showed a slightly awkward smile on his face.
"These are all members of my Shi family, but you can talk about it."
Fang Yong spoke calmly.
"The family sent me here this time because they really want something from you. In addition, the family has also prepared a small gift. I hope that Patriarch Fang will accept it."
Seeing that Patriarch Fang did not respond but was waiting for his next words, Shi Chengyi also spoke:
"There is a small, insignificant family around Yong'an City that often opposes our family. It is extremely hateful, so our family would like to ask the nobles to help us once."
Hearing Shi Chengyi's intention, Fang Yong narrowed his eyes slightly, then smiled and said:
"I'm afraid it's not that simple?"
Shi Chengyi smiled awkwardly:
"Patriarch Fang has seen through us. This small family is not to be feared, but there is another family behind this small family. So our family wants to ask Patriarch Fang for help."
Fang Yong couldn't help but think a little after hearing this, but when he thought of the remaining warriors of the Liu family and the Shi family with some resources, Fang Yong smiled:
"It's just a small family, so it's not a big deal. What family is it, Elder Shi, please tell me directly."
"Yunmeng City, Zhou Family."
Fang Yong, who had not taken it seriously at first, changed his expression after hearing this. The smile on his face disappeared. He quickly stood up and waved his hand, saying:
"see a visitor out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two members of the Fang family came forward to drive them away.
Seeing Fang Yong was about to leave, Shi Chengyi could only shout:
"Patriarch Fang, please stay. As long as you agree, my Shi family will definitely give you generous gifts! And we will also take care of the Liu family's affairs. Patriarch Fang?"
Seeing Fang Yong had no reaction, Shi Chengyi didn't care too much and said immediately:
"Patriarch Fang, with the strength of the nobles, are you also afraid of the Zhou family of Yunmeng City?"
After these words came out, Fang Yong also stopped. Just when Shi Chengyi thought that his provocation was effective, he heard a cold voice in his ear:
"Blast it out!"
Shi Chengyi, who was kicked out of the Fang family, was full of resentment, but he did not dare to show it. After all, this place was still the Fang family's territory, and he might die here if he was not careful.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't get help from the Fang family, he still wants to live a few more years.
What puzzled Shi Chengyi was why the Fang family was so decisive after hearing the name of the Zhou family. According to family investigation, the Fang family also had two warriors in the Qi Control Realm. In terms of strength, they were only slightly inferior. There was not much gap between the two families.
What's more, this Patriarch Fang also showed his intention to cooperate with the family before.
Shi Chengyi didn't know why.
"Is this person gone?"
"Report to the clan leader, he has already left."
"Um."
Fang Yong said calmly, and then said no more, but the tribesman beside him couldn't help but ask with doubts in his heart:
"Patriarch, I just saw that you seem to be planning to cooperate with the Shi family. Besides, it's just a small family. I think the Zhou family should give the family some face. Why don't you use the Shi family to completely eliminate the remaining people in the Liu family?"
