Chapter 1006: I Am a Good Person

Qi Ruoqing?

The Qi family indeed couldn’t sit still anymore.

Fang Yu’s eyes moved slightly as he closed the novel in his hand and asked, “Is she alone?”

“Yes, just Miss Qi by herself,” Ye Shengxue replied.

“…The family head doesn’t come to make a statement, but instead sends a girl?” Fang Yu frowned slightly and said, “Bring her in.”

Su Lengyun didn’t want to disturb Fang Yu, so she stood up and said, “Brother Yu, I’ll go practice now.”

“Alright,” Fang Yu nodded.

Su Lengyun turned and left the terrace.

And Qi Ruoqing appeared before Fang Yu.

Seeing Fang Yu in front of her, Qi Ruoqing felt inexplicably nervous.

When they first met, Fang Yu was still unknown.

But now, Fang Yu had become the most renowned powerhouse in North Capital.

The seven top families were all under his feet…

“I already guessed someone from your Qi family would come to find me, but I didn’t expect it would be just you,” Fang Yu said.

Hearing Fang Yu’s words, Qi Ruoqing came back to her senses, her expression changing as she nervously said, “My, my father will visit Mr. Fang another day. Today, today is just…”

“No need to be so formal, sit down and have some tea.” Fang Yu poured a cup of tea and handed it to Qi Ruoqing.

Qi Ruoqing hurriedly took it with both hands, then sat on the bamboo chair opposite him.

“So, what did your father instruct you to do?” Fang Yu asked.

Qi Ruoqing took a sip of the Longjing tea and said, “Father… didn’t instruct me to do anything. I wanted to see you on my own.”

“Oh? Then what did you want to say?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.

“I…”

After learning about Fang Yu’s deeds, Qi Ruoqing found it difficult to maintain a calm demeanor while talking with him.

Even though Fang Yu’s tone was casual, she still felt his overwhelming presence.

“Never mind… is your father worried that I’ll eventually take action against the Qi family?” Fang Yu leaned back in his chair and asked.

Qi Ruoqing’s expression changed, and she dared not speak.

“It’s normal for him to have such concerns, after all, I’ve already paid visits to the other six major families,” Fang Yu smiled and said, “With only the Qi family left, he must be restless.”

Qi Ruoqing recalled her father’s instructions before she left, and felt her palms sweating.

Try to leave a good impression on Fang Yu?

She understood her father’s intention in sending her to meet Fang Yu, but she really couldn’t deliberately do such things…

Now, she was even too nervous to communicate normally with Fang Yu.

Qi Ruoqing lowered her head, her cheeks unconsciously turning red.

After hesitating for a moment, she still mustered her courage, looked up at Fang Yu, and said, “Mr. Fang, our Qi family is willing to submit to you, and we won’t harbor any ill intentions toward the Lin family. Please… spare our Qi family.”

Hearing these words, Fang Yu raised his hand and tapped his forehead, saying, “It seems the outside world really sees me as an evil demon who commits all kinds of atrocities.”

“I believe… Mr. Fang, you’re not that kind of person. But my father and our clan members are still very worried,” Qi Ruoqing was no longer timid and spoke sincerely.

“Their concern is reasonable,” Fang Yu said, “However… when you go back, you can tell them that I don’t need their submission.”

“Just as you said, as long as the Qi family doesn’t harbor ill intentions, I will absolutely not take action against the Qi family.”

“On this point, I can guarantee. Tell your father to sleep well and not overthink things, understand?”

Hearing these words, Qi Ruoqing’s beautiful eyes lit up, and the stone hanging in her heart finally fell.

A powerful person like Fang Yu would certainly not go back on his word.

With this promise… the Qi family was safe.

Qi Ruoqing stood up, about to kneel before Fang Yu.

But at this moment, an invisible force held her up, preventing her from kneeling.

“I just stated a principle of not harming those who don’t harm me. If you kneel like this, you’ll only make me look like a heinous villain,” Fang Yu lay back in his lounge chair and said calmly, “But in reality, I’m a good person.”

Qi Ruoqing took a deep breath and bowed deeply, “Mr. Fang… thank you.”

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll have someone escort you out,” Fang Yu said.

“Um…” Qi Ruoqing raised her head, biting her red lips lightly as she looked at Fang Yu with a conflicted expression.

Fang Yu could sense Qi Ruoqing’s gaze.

“What is it? Something else?” Fang Yu asked.

“…Mr. Fang, I want to ask, is Miss Lin Zhilan from the Lin family… beautiful?” Qi Ruoqing’s face turned as red as an apple as she asked softly.

“…” Fang Yu sat up straight, looked at Qi Ruoqing with a strange expression.

“Mr. Fang, what is your relationship with Miss Lin Zhilan?” Qi Ruoqing mustered her courage and asked another question.

Fang Yu stared at Qi Ruoqing, his brows furrowing.

Now he finally understood why Qi Hongshan had sent Qi Ruoqing to talk to him.

“Lin Zhilan is indeed very beautiful, and I like her very much,” Fang Yu thought for a moment and answered.

Hearing this answer, Qi Ruoqing’s expression changed.

But she quickly covered it up, forcing a smile and saying, “Indeed, I’ve always heard that Miss Lin Zhilan is both talented and beautiful…”

“I need to get some sleep. If there’s nothing else, you can go now,” Fang Yu put the novel over his face and lay down on the lounge chair.

“…Alright, then I’ll take my leave, Mr. Fang.” Qi Ruoqing’s face was a bit pale as she turned to leave.

“Little Wind Chime, see her out,” Fang Yu said.

“Okay,” Little Wind Chime responded.

The next second, Qi Ruoqing was teleported out.

Fang Yu lay on the lounge chair and closed his eyes.

It was better to cut off the Qi family’s unrealistic ideas early.

What he had just said wasn’t meant for Qi Ruoqing, but for the Qi family to hear.

Beauty schemes… wouldn’t have any effect on him.

…

In a dilapidated courtyard on the outskirts of North Capital.

“Did Fang Yu really go door to door to each family?” Immortal Xiu looked at Bai Konggu and asked.

“Yes, now in the entire North Capital martial world, the only family that can still be called a top family… is the Qi family,” Bai Konggu answered.

Immortal Xiu nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and revealed a hint of a smile.

“If Fang Yu indulges in power struggles, that’s actually a good thing. At least, for the future path to immortality, there will be one less competitor,” Immortal Xiu said.

Bai Konggu didn’t respond.

“By the way, some time ago, Wu Chenzi’s chief disciple Fu Han came out of seclusion,” Immortal Xiu remembered something and said, “These days, he might come to see you.”

“Fu Han… what does he want with me?” Bai Konggu’s expression changed slightly as he asked.

Immortal Xiu turned to look outside and said slowly, “Konggu, you’ve been managing the Skywatch Bureau for us for a very long time… This period is neither long nor short, and you’ve worked hard.”

Hearing these words, Bai Konggu’s eye twitched slightly, and he said in a deep voice, “Immortal Xiu, I voluntarily manage the Skywatch Bureau, there’s no question of hardship.”

“When we first handed the Skywatch Bureau to you, you still looked young,” Immortal Xiu turned to look at Bai Konggu and smiled, “But now, you’ve grown very old.”

Bai Konggu was silent for a moment, then asked, “Immortal Xiu, does the Divine Concealment Society… want to change who controls the Skywatch Bureau?”

Immortal Xiu looked at Bai Konggu and slowly nodded.

Bai Konggu sighed.

From the time the Divine Concealment Society began to frequently interfere in the affairs of the Skywatch Bureau, he had anticipated this day would come.

But he hadn’t expected this day would arrive so quickly.

It seemed those old men in the Divine Concealment Society were truly dissatisfied with his recent performance.

“Konggu, you’re half a disciple to me, and I don’t want to be harsh on you. But your handling of a series of recent matters shows your age,” Immortal Xiu’s tone wasn’t severe, but it was serious, “The other elders decided to replace you, and I agree.”

“Fu Han is Wu Chenzi’s chief disciple, and his strength is extreme.”

“We unanimously believe he is the most suitable replacement.”

After speaking, Immortal Xiu raised his right hand and patted Bai Konggu’s shoulder.

“After Fu Han takes over your position, you can follow me and work exclusively for me,” Immortal Xiu said.

Bai Konggu gave a bitter laugh and said, “Immortal Xiu, you just said I’m showing my age. Being so old, how can I work for you?”

“It seems you’re unwilling to work for me… very well, go back and enjoy your remaining years,” Immortal Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “You’ve indeed reached that stage.”
