Chapter 66: Highly Anticipated!
Old Master Tang dialed a number and, after saying a few words, hung up the phone with a grim expression.
“Dad, what’s wrong?” Tang Mingde noticed his father’s dark face and asked.
“Master Lin… has entered seclusion and won’t be coming out for a while,” Old Master Tang said in a deep voice.
Hearing this news, Tang Mingde’s expression also turned serious.
“Dad, is there any other way?” Tang Xiaorou stepped forward and asked.
Tang Mingde took a deep breath and looked at Fang Yu, saying, “Doctor Fang, I will find a way to get you out of Jiuzhou…”
“I really don’t need to run away,” Fang Yu replied, feeling a bit helpless.
It seemed that people nowadays thought martial arts masters were invincible and were extremely fearful of them.
But in Fang Yu’s eyes, a martial arts master was merely at the Foundation Establishment stage.
According to the classification of cultivation realms, the Foundation Establishment stage was just a level after the Qi Refining stage, followed by the Core Formation stage, Nascent Soul stage, Spirit Severing stage, and Great Ascension stage…
Moreover, Yang Jian was only at the early Foundation Establishment stage.
“Continue with the birthday banquet. Yang Jian’s target is me, not you. There’s no need for you to panic,” Fang Yu said before turning and walking out of the hall.
He was a bit hungry and needed to eat something.
…
Not long after Fang Yu walked out, Tang Wenyuan and his wife entered the inner hall.
“Dad, do you still want to protect that Fang Yu? You’ve seen Yang Jian’s strength! We absolutely cannot offend the Yang family now!” Liang Rong exclaimed loudly as soon as she entered the inner hall.
“Dad, for the sake of the Tang family, I think we should quickly sever ties with Fang Yu… Otherwise, the Yang family will definitely treat us as enemies, and it will be difficult to handle later…” Tang Wenyuan also spoke up.
“You two idiots! Shut up!” Old Master Tang shouted, his face dark with anger.
“Dad, everything I said is for the good of the family! Do you really want to put the Tang family in danger for an outsider!?” Tang Wenyuan retorted, refusing to back down.
“You…” Old Master Tang pointed at Tang Wenyuan, his beard trembling with rage.
“Tang Wenyuan, shut your mouth immediately!” Tang Mingde stepped forward angrily.
“What? Do you want to hit me? I’m your elder brother, no matter how you say it, I’m your senior. If you have the guts, go ahead and try, let’s see if you’ll be struck by lightning!” Tang Wenyuan said fearlessly, stepping forward defiantly.
“You!” Tang Mingde was also quite furious.
Tang Xiaorou covered her ears, not wanting to hear their argument, and walked out of the hall.
She was only concerned about Fang Yu’s safety.
There were less than four hours left; what should she do? How could she save Fang Yu?
Tang Xiaorou walked out of the hall, looked around, and found Fang Yu eating food at a buffet table in the distance, still chatting with a woman.
How does he know her…
Tang Xiaorou’s expression changed slightly as she walked over.
…
“Do you really not need help?” Qin Yimo looked at Fang Yu, who was enjoying his meal, her brows slightly furrowed as she asked.
“Of course… you can come watch my performance this afternoon,” Fang Yu said, stuffing a large piece of lamb chop into his mouth, speaking unclearly.
“Your opponent is a martial arts master,” Qin Yimo reminded him, thinking he didn’t know.
“So what?” Fang Yu asked.
“I don’t think you’re his match,” Qin Yimo said bluntly.
“…How did your grandfather introduce me to you?” Fang Yu swallowed an abalone and asked.
At this point, Qin Yimo became a bit angry and indignantly said, “He didn’t say anything! He only said you are…”
“What?” Fang Yu asked.
To avoid Fang Yu getting too proud, Qin Yimo replied, “Nothing.”
“He should have said I’m a great benefactor to the Qin family,” Fang Yu said with a slight smile.
Qin Yimo bit her lip; this person was really annoying!
“Your grandfather is right; I really am a great benefactor to your Qin family. You could say, without me, there would be no your grandfather, and there would be no current Qin family,” Fang Yu took a sip of red wine and continued, “Even your grandfather’s name was given by me. Wudao, which means…”
Hearing this, Qin Yimo’s expression gradually worsened, and finally, unable to hold back, she said angrily, “Can you stop saying such nonsense? You might think it’s funny, but to me, it’s disrespectful to my grandfather and our Qin family!”
“I’m not talking nonsense, I…” Fang Yu was about to say something when he caught sight of Tang Xiaorou walking over.
“Fang Yu, so you’re here,” Tang Xiaorou said, glancing at Qin Yimo.
“Hungry,” Fang Yu replied succinctly.
“Hello, Miss Tang,” Qin Yimo greeted Tang Xiaorou.
Tang Xiaorou looked at Qin Yimo; she was one of the few women who made her feel inferior.
“Hello, Miss Qin.”
Tang Xiaorou didn’t know who Qin Yimo was; she only knew that even her grandfather valued Qin Yimo highly.
However, seeing Qin Yimo chatting and laughing with Fang Yu just now made her feel a bit uncomfortable.
“I’ll still ask my grandfather. If he says not to help you, then I won’t help,” Qin Yimo said, smiling gently at Tang Xiaorou before turning to leave.
“Fang Yu, how do you know Miss Qin?” Tang Xiaorou asked, puzzled.
“She’s the granddaughter of an old friend of mine,” Fang Yu answered.
“Granddaughter of an old friend…” Tang Xiaorou was a bit confused but quickly realized Fang Yu was teasing her.
Fang Yu wiped his mouth with a napkin, stood up, and said, “I’m going home for a nap; you all continue.”
“Fang Yu, are you really going to…”
Tang Xiaorou wanted to say something more, but Fang Yu had already left without looking back.
…
“Yang Jian, the martial arts genius of the Yang family, has returned! This afternoon, he will duel with someone named Fang Yu at the Jianghai Martial Arts Association!”
“It is said that Yang Jian has successfully entered the realm of masters, becoming the youngest master in the Jiangnan region in nearly fifty years!”
“A master? So who is his opponent? Could it also be a master?”
The news of Yang Jian and Fang Yu’s duel at the Martial Arts Association spread rapidly, reaching the entire Jianghai martial arts community in just three hours.
Many martial artists rushed to the Jianghai Martial Arts Association, eager to witness the might of the newly promoted martial arts master.
Representatives from various families who attended the birthday banquet at the Tang family this morning also hurried over.
This battle was significant, mainly to see if Yang Jian’s level had truly reached that of a martial arts master.
If it was true, these families would have to reconsider their relationships with the Yang family.
At 2:30 PM, the audience seats in the Martial Arts Association were almost filled to capacity.
Everyone was waiting for Yang Jian’s appearance.
As for Yang Jian’s opponent, Fang Yu, no one cared; the vast majority had never heard of that name.
“The head of the Yang family, Yang Shaorong, has arrived! And his business prodigy daughter, Yang Yinzhu!” someone shouted from the audience.
“Congratulations to the Yang family head! After Young Master Yang enters the master realm, the Yang family will surely soar to new heights!”
“Congratulations to the Yang family head…”
Many family representatives stepped forward to flatter Yang Shaorong.
Yang Shaorong smiled, nodding in response, and walked to the front row of the audience with Yang Yinzhu.
“The head of the Tang family, Tang Mingde, has arrived! Also, the head of the Ji family, Ji Dongshan, and his daughter Ji Rumei… My goodness, how many big shots are coming today!?” someone shouted.
Tang Mingde and Ji Dongshan chatted as they walked, stopping when they passed Yang Shaorong.
Ji Dongshan’s expression darkened upon seeing Yang Yinzhu.
This woman had repeatedly sent people to try to kill Ji Rumei, and last time, she even wanted to take him down with her.
The feud between the two families had long gone beyond mere business competition.
“Tang family head, I didn’t expect you to get close to the Ji family so quickly. We were still chatting well two weeks ago,” Yang Shaorong said, looking at Tang Mingde with a smile.
“Director Yang, it was your Yang family that acted unreasonably first. Your son, Yang Xu, even tried to…” Tang Mingde’s face darkened, unable to finish his sentence.
At the mention of Yang Xu, both Yang Shaorong and Yang Yinzhu’s expressions turned grim.
“Tang Mingde, Fang Yu is your person. He’s done something, and you have to take responsibility too. Don’t think you can escape! Once my brother deals with Fang Yu, our Yang family will settle accounts with your Tang family!” Yang Yinzhu’s beautiful eyes were filled with malice as she said coldly.
“Do you think having a martial arts master in the family means you can do whatever you want? In Jiuzhou, we must…” Tang Mingde’s face was ashen.
But before he could finish, Yang Yinzhu slammed the table and said through gritted teeth, “Our Yang family never plays by the rules!!”
