Chapter 794 Victory Celebration!
Stars fruit still grows beneath the spring water just as before, only showing its sprout and root, without much change.
But the life essence it brings is irreplaceable by any other living being.
After leaving the spring, Fang Yu went to the vegetable garden and medicinal herb garden.
Nourished by the spring of life, the vegetables in the garden were growing exceptionally well, forming a large patch of lush green, with each vegetable containing powerful vitality.
As for the medicinal herb garden, its progress was also decent.
Of course, the growth cycle of medicinal herbs is hundreds or thousands of times longer than vegetables, so changes wouldn’t be very noticeable.
“If I let Little Fengling raise some cattle and sheep on the grassland, this manor can form a self-sufficient closed loop,” Fang Yu thought.
……
The next morning, Fang Yu and Zheng Ze, accompanied by two attendants, got into a private car and headed to the Wei family to attend the celebration banquet.
The Wei family residence was located in a luxury villa area in the western part of Beidu.
After nearly an hour’s drive, the car arrived at the front gate of the Wei family.
By now, the Wei family home was already crowded with visitors.
“Sir Fang, I inquired yesterday. The reason other vice presidents are unwilling to attend such occasions… is because the Martial Arts Association is not welcomed by martial arts family clans,” Zheng Ze whispered to Fang Yu before they got out of the car.
“Why? How did the Martial Arts Association offend them?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.
“In Beidu, to prevent family clans from expanding their influence, the Martial Arts Association’s policies and regulations tend to suppress the development of martial arts family clans… while being much more lenient toward various martial arts sects,” Zheng Ze explained. “Over time, the family clans’ attitude toward the Martial Arts Association has worsened. In recent years, there have been several confrontations between martial arts family clans and the Association… something unimaginable in the past.”
Fang Yu’s eyes flickered slightly. He had actually noticed this during his previous conversation with Huaixu.
Now, even the president of the Beidu Martial Arts Association was from the Wang family… the status of the Association was evident.
“Those two old foxes are really ungrateful,” Fang Yu recalled the relieved expressions of Pan Yushan and Luo Hao after he agreed to attend the celebration banquet yesterday.
“They’re old hands at this game, of course they want to set up newcomers like us,” Zheng Ze said with a bitter smile.
The two got out of the car and, accompanied by their two attendants, walked through the Wei family’s main gate.
All four of them wore the distinctive white robes that were the uniform of the Martial Arts Association.
After presenting their invitations and passing the guards, they entered the compound.
In front of the Wei family’s main building was a large training ground.
In the center of the training ground, a platform had been erected.
The ground was covered with red carpet, creating a festive atmosphere.
Below the platform stood people from various families.
The Wei family members, as hosts, were all dressed in bright red robes with the character “Wei” printed on the chest.
Wei family members were distributed throughout, entertaining guests from all directions.
However, the arrival of Fang Yu’s group seemed to be ignored, with no one from the Wei family coming forward to receive them.
Zheng Ze looked at Fang Yu and, seeing his expressionless face as he surveyed the surroundings apparently looking for something, asked, “Sir Fang, what are you looking for?”
“For such a big celebration banquet, why isn’t there any food?” Fang Yu asked.
“Uh… perhaps it’s not yet time for the meal,” Zheng Ze replied after a moment of surprise.
Many people noticed Fang Yu’s group in their white robes, and many eyes revealed disgust before turning away.
They all knew these four were from the Martial Arts Association.
But none were willing to come forward and greet them.
This made Fang Yu’s group’s situation appear awkward and out of place.
“If they dislike the Martial Arts Association so much, why bother with these superficial gestures? It just makes everyone unhappy,” Fang Yu said.
“There’s no choice… this is the current situation in Beidu,” Zheng Ze shook his head and said.
……
“Family Head, people from the Martial Arts Association have arrived…” an attendant approached a middle-aged man who was conversing with guests, leaned close to his ear, and whispered.
This man was the head of the Wei family, Wei Wensheng.
Wei Wensheng turned his head to glance at the four people standing in the distance, frowned slightly, and said, “Have Wusheng receive them, I can’t get away right now.”
“Yes, sir.” The attendant nodded and withdrew.
……
“You must be Vice President Fang!”
After Fang Yu’s group had been standing there for nearly five minutes, a man in a red robe from the Wei family approached.
He was a man with two whiskers, looking somewhat comical.
“I am Wei Wusheng, hello.” Wei Wusheng extended his hand to Fang Yu.
Fang Yu shook his hand and said casually, “You all seem quite busy.”
Wei Wusheng’s eyes flickered slightly as he said, “Indeed, we are very busy. We didn’t expect so many people to come today and inadvertently neglected you, Sir Fang. I sincerely apologize.”
Despite his words, there wasn’t a trace of apology in Wei Wusheng’s tone or expression.
However, Fang Yu didn’t care about his attitude.
He came here only to observe the Wei family’s situation.
At this moment, an attendant walked up to Wei Wusheng and said a few words.
“Sir Fang, I’m terribly sorry, but another distinguished guest has arrived, and I must go receive them. Please make yourselves at home…” After saying this, Wei Wusheng turned and left.
“This is outrageous! They really don’t take us seriously,” one of the attendants behind Fang Yu couldn’t help but say angrily.
“I just want to know why there’s no food,” Fang Yu said.
“The Qi family has arrived!”
At this moment, an exclamation sounded nearby.
Fang Yu turned to look and saw several people entering.
Walking at the front was none other than Qi Ruoqing, who had previously gone for a ride with Fang Yu in the wasteland.
Wei family head Wei Wensheng, Wei Wusheng, and several other core members all went forward to greet them.
“Ruoqing, thank you for coming to our celebration banquet,” Wei Wensheng said with a smile, holding a glass of wine.
“My father is in seclusion recently and cannot come in person, so he sent me to represent him and the Qi family to congratulate the Wei family on this joyous occasion,” Qi Ruoqing smiled gently and bowed slightly.
Today she wore a purple robe, with her black hair tied up at the back, leaving a few strands of hair on her fair forehead…
Combined with her exquisite face, her demeanor was both beautifully mature and graceful.
As soon as she appeared, almost all eyes in the venue turned to her.
“The pearl of the Qi family truly shines so brightly that one can hardly open their eyes.”
“Indeed beautiful, and her cultivation talent is not weak either… The next prodigy from the Qi family to reach the Heavenly Rankings could very well be Qi Ruoqing.”
“I heard that the Qi family and Wei family intend to form a marriage alliance, but I don’t know if that’s true or false.”
A wave of low discussions spread around.
Qi Ruoqing’s group and the Wei family group chatted happily as they slowly walked toward the platform.
“Among the eight great family clans, only the Qi family has a relatively good relationship with the Wei family,” Zheng Ze whispered beside Fang Yu.
Fang Yu nodded slightly without saying anything.
“Thump!”
At this moment, someone bumped into Fang Yu’s shoulder.
“Ah!”
A woman’s scream was heard.
Fang Yu turned to see a girl with delicate features fallen on the ground.
The girl wore a red robe, also from the Wei family.
Now, she was clutching her shoulder with a pained expression.
Fang Yu looked at her and still asked, “Are you alright?”
“What do you think?!” The girl looked at Fang Yu with disgust and said, “Why are you standing in the middle of the path?”
“Paths are everywhere here, how can you say I’m standing in the middle?” Fang Yu frowned and retorted, “I’ve been standing here all along, you bumped into me.”
“You bumped into me, and not only do you refuse to apologize, but you dare to speak to me in that tone? Do you know who I am?!” The girl’s face darkened, her beautiful features filled with anger.
“I don’t care who you are, I didn’t do anything wrong,” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and said.
“You… damn lackey of the Martial Arts Association, truly without manners,” the girl stood up, gritting her teeth and speaking with scorn and venom.
Their dispute had already attracted the attention of bystanders.
Upon seeing the girl, onlookers displayed expressions of schadenfreude.
The Wei family’s spoiled little princess, Wei Zhiling!
This little princess had a naturally fiery temper.
And the person who provoked her happened to be from the Martial Arts Association!
This was going to be interesting!
“I order you to apologize to me immediately! Otherwise, get out of the Wei family! Our Wei family does not welcome ill-mannered creatures like you!” Wei Zhiling pointed at Fang Yu’s nose, biting her pink lips as she scolded.
……
“Family Head, the young miss is having a conflict with someone from the Martial Arts Association,” an attendant quickly walked to Wei Wensheng’s side and whispered.
Wei Wensheng was conversing with Qi Ruoqing when he heard this news. His brows furrowed as he turned his head.
He saw Wei Zhiling pointing at Fang Yu’s nose and yelling angrily.
“This girl… always causing trouble on such days,” Wei Wensheng sighed and smiled bitterly at Qi Ruoqing beside him, “Ruoqing, I need to go handle this.”
“It’s fine, Family Head Wei, please go ahead,” Qi Ruoqing smiled.
Wei Wensheng nodded and walked toward Fang Yu and Wei Zhiling.
……
“Do you think you’re special because you’re from the Martial Arts Association? Let me tell you, your Martial Arts Association is nothing in front of our Wei family! If I want to destroy any one of you, I can do it with ease!” Wei Zhiling, seeing Fang Yu’s indifferent face, grew increasingly angry, her words becoming more and more venomous.
“The Martial Arts Association is certainly not special. But what’s so great about your Wei family?” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and asked.
“You want to know how great the Wei family is? Then let me show you!” Wei Zhiling’s face twisted with mockery as she raised her palm to slap Fang Yu’s face.
However, Wei Zhiling’s hand never touched Fang Yu’s face, as it was caught by his hand.
“I need to educate you on behalf of your parents, otherwise with your attitude, you’ll eventually get yourself killed out in society,” Fang Yu stepped forward, raised his left hand, and slapped Wei Zhiling four times.
“Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!”
Two on the left cheek, two on the right, each slap landing solidly, producing crisp sounds.
The last slap sent Wei Zhiling falling to the ground.
Wei Zhiling covered her reddened cheeks, eyes wide and bloodshot, staring at Fang Yu in shock and hatred as she shouted, “You hit me? You hit me!? You dare to hit me!?”
“If you keep making noise, I don’t mind giving you another kick,” Fang Yu said with a cold smile.
