After that, Young Master Xun did not mention this matter again. The two of them happily visited a few more warehouses before returning to Fang Mansion.
Just as he was about to enter the door, the Xun Family’s Young Master happened to bump into Fang Qiuyao, who was about to return to the Heart Sect. He was shocked!
‘What a picturesque beauty!’
However, the Xun Family Young Master didn’t say anything on the spot. Instead, he continued to discuss the cooperation between the two families with Fang Nianbai.
But after that, this Young Master Xun would often find an excuse to visit. One moment, he would say that he wanted to check the source of the goods, and the next moment, he would say that he wanted to see the Fang family’s plantation.
However, Fang Nianbai was not an old fool. Every time the Xun family’s young master came, he would beat around the bush and ask about Qiu Yao’s news.
Later on, he was even more direct and asked, “Your daughter is not in today?” How was this inquiring? It was simply acting like a hooligan!
However, Fang Nianbai could not afford to offend the Xun family, so he could only use the excuse that his daughter was focused on cultivation.
After making things clear, the Xun Family Young Master was not a patient person. When he came to visit again the next day, he said directly, “I’m not happy with what Clan Leader Fang said. That day when I saw your daughter, I was shocked. Clan Leader Fang, please help me to connect the dots so that I
have the opportunity to chat with your daughter.”
Ever since the incident with the Mahayana Secret Water, Fang Nianbai knew that this seemingly kind Young Master Xun was actually not easy to talk to. If he directly rejected her, it would definitely bring disaster to the Fang family.
Fang Nianbai had no choice but to call Fang Qiuyao back.
After explaining everything to Fang Qiuyao, Fang Qiuyao rejected him at first.
However, she could not resist her father’s persuasion and promised that he would never force her to do anything.
Thus, for the sake of the family’s safety, Fang Qiuyao had no choice but to meet Young Master Xun.
Fang Qiuyao had always been a straightforward person. The first time they met, she expressed that she only wanted to focus on cultivation and did not want to think about matters between men and women.
Seeing that Fang Qiuyao had been tricked by her so easily, Liu Zijin did not know what to say.
” Tell her that it was Senior Brother who asked us to ask? It should be possible…
After all, Senior Brother told us directly and didn’t ask us to keep it a secret. There shouldn’t be a need to hide it from Qiu Yao. At most, I’ll be punished if I guess wrong!’
“Gulp…’
At the thought of being punished, Liu Zijin could not help but swallow her saliva. She was looking forward to it…No, she was a little afraid of how her senior brother would punish her.
After making up her mind, Liu Zijin said,””lt was Senior Brother who told us.”
Senior Brother! Fang Qiuyao was obviously shocked. Her eyes widened.”
Senior Brother is back?”
“Yes.” Liu Zijin and the rest nodded in unison.
“Senior Brother, he… How do you know what’s going on with my family?” Fang Qiuyao’s expression was very complicated when she spoke.
Her eyes were filled with shyness, confusion, and distress.
Hearing Fang Qiuyao’s question, Yu Guishui twirled her hair with her fingers and said shyly,””Although I’ve always felt that Senior Brother cares about us,
I’ve never been very sure. However, from what happened to you today, I’m sure that Senior Brother has actually been paying attention to us.”
The other three nodded in unison.
Although Shixiong seemed cold on the surface, whether it was the time he helped them concoct the medicinal bath or the time he took the initiative to care about Fang Qiuyao, it showed that he had always cared about them.
‘Perhaps Senior Brother wants us to pass his test without relying on him…Yes, that must be the case!
At the thought of this, the firm belief in everyone’s hearts became even more heated.
‘Next time…l must defeat Wu Zhitang next time!’
“Son… Sister Zijin.”
Just as Liu Zijin was secretly swearing, Fang Qiuyao suddenly threw herself into her arms, her voice choking up.
Liu Zijin panicked and quickly comforted her, “”What’s wrong, Autumn Yao? What happened to you?”
Fang Qiuyao looked up at Liu Zijin. After thinking for a moment, she answered as if she had made a decision, ‘”‘Sister Zijin, have you heard of the Xun family in Xing country?”
“Xun Clan?” Liu Zijin recalled for a moment and shook her head.”Never heard of it.”
At the same time, the three Yu sisters shook their heads and said, “‘We haven’t heard of it either.”
“Then have you heard of the Clear Sky Sect in the country?”
At this moment, Liu Zijin and the rest nodded at the same time and said,””Of course I’ve heard of this. It’s the most powerful sect in the country. The sect master is a Mystique Venerable Rank powerhouse.”
Hearing this, Fang Qiuyao sighed deeply.””The Xun family is a subordinate family of the Clear Sky Sect, and their second… Second Young Master wants to marry me by torce.”
‘ Forced marriage?!” The four of them exclaimed at the same time.
Although they had guessed that Fang Qiuyao was hiding something big, they didn’t expect it to be so serious.
Seeing that Fang Qiuyao was choking up again, Liu Zijin quickly hugged her and comforted her softly,””Don’t worry, don’t worry. Qiuyao, tell us what’s going on. We’ll help you think of a solution.”
“Yes.” Liu Zijin sniffled and began to explain the cause and effect of this incident.
After about ten minutes, Liu Zijin and the rest finally understood what was going on.
It turned out that someone from the Xun family had come to the Sheng country to look for a business partner. He wanted to buy some low-grade medicinal herbs. After going around, he found the Fang family, which had a large number of medicinal herbs and shops.
At first, the Fang family was very flustered when they heard the name of the Xun family. After all, their backer was too powerful. It was a top-notch sect with a Mystique Venerable One overseeing it. How could a small family like the Fang family dare to provoke it?
If the Xun family came to talk about cooperation, it would sound nice, but if they really wanted to discuss it, how could the Fang family dare to say “no”? Wouldn’t they just let the Xun family do whatever they wanted?
But wait until the real contact, the Fangs find each other, they don’t like each other, imagine each other, they are so rude, even the two sides still talk to each other, and soon they reach a cooperation.
However, just as the Fang family thought that everything was developing in a good direction, an accident happened.
After reaching an agreement, the Xun family requested to visit the warehouse. The Fang family would naturally do their best to satisfy such a reasonable request. Patriarch Fang Nianbai personally brought them to visit.
When they visited the second warehouse, the Xun family found that there were a few supreme-grade spiritual herbs that grew especially well. It was obvious that they had used some special cultivation method.
Out of curiosity, he asked Fang Nianbai,”Patriarch Fang, I wonder why these spiritual herbs are growing so well?”
Fang Nianbai’s initial answer was that the soil here was good, but how could he hide this from the experienced Xun family?
“Looks like your Fang family is still wary of us. Forget it, if you don’t want to say it, then so be it.”
Seeing that the Xun family’s expressions had clearly changed, Fang Nianbai quickly explained, “Young Master Xun, you have misunderstood. I only said the first half of my words. The reason why these spiritual herbs grow so well is not only because of the soil, but also because we have watered them with the Mahayana Secret Water.”
“Mahayana Secret Water?”
The young master of the Xun Family was obviously shocked when he heard this. He did not expect that a small family in a weak border country would actually have a treasure on the Rare List. This was really unexpected.
After recovering from his shock, the Xun Family’s Young Master laughed out loud and said,””l see. Then it seems that I made the right choice to cooperate with your Fang family.”
Fang Nianbai heaved a sigh of relief and all thanks to Young Master
Xun’s guidance.'”‘
After that, Young Master Xun did not mention this matter again. The two of them happily visited a few more warehouses before returning to Fang Mansion.
Just as he was about to enter the door, the Xun Family’s Young Master happened to bump into Fang Qiuyao, who was about to return to the Heart Sect. He was shocked!
‘What a picturesque beauty!’
