Chapter 904 Everyone’s Thoughts
Fang Yu stood in front of his medicinal herb field, examining the growth of these herbs.
Since bringing back and planting the Star Fruit, the life force in the soil throughout the entire mansion had become ten times stronger than anywhere else in the world.
Therefore, the growth of medicinal herbs was also more than ten times better than normal conditions.
Many herbs had already sprouted.
As for the vegetable garden next to it, the growth situation could no longer be simply described as good.
Basically, whatever seeds were buried in the soil would grow to their optimal state in about an hour.
Of course, this also took away the joy of gardening.
However, recently Fang Yu indeed didn’t have the mood to tinker with the vegetable garden.
“Mr. Fang, Mr. Zheng Ze has arrived. He says he needs to see you about something.” A soft light flashed, and Ye Shengxue appeared behind Fang Yu.
“Zheng Ze? Bring him here.” Fang Yu said.
“Certainly.” Ye Shengxue agreed.
A few seconds later, another soft light flashed, and Zheng Ze arrived beside Fang Yu.
As soon as he arrived, he could smell the rich fragrance of medicinal herbs.
Zheng Ze saw Fang Yu squatting ahead observing something, and didn’t dare make a sound.
“What is it?” Fang Yu asked without turning his head.
Startled by Fang Yu’s sudden question, Zheng Ze paused before saying: “Mr. Fang, it’s like this… Because of your… deeds yesterday, the top families of North Capital have jointly sent a letter to Huaixu.”
“Oh? Are these people planning to declare war on me?” Fang Yu stood up and turned to ask.
“No, of course not… My teacher asked me to bring this letter to you.” Zheng Ze took an envelope from his inner pocket, stepped forward, bowed, and presented it to Fang Yu with both hands.
Compared to before, Zheng Ze’s demeanor had become even more respectful.
Although he hadn’t personally participated in or witnessed yesterday’s events.
But from the information he’d heard, he could imagine the scene of Fang Yu single-handedly crushing the Wang family… it must have been extremely shocking!
So, facing Fang Yu again, Zheng Ze could hardly hide his current respectful demeanor.
He admired Fang Yu from the bottom of his heart.
Fang Yu took the envelope from Zheng Ze’s hands.
Taking out the letter inside and glancing at it, Fang Yu raised an eyebrow.
The letter was about five hundred words long, with most of it praising Fang Yu.
Words like “heroic” and “unparalleled in the world” were used.
But in reality, all these words, going round and round, conveyed only one true meaning.
After seeing Fang Yu’s strength, they decided to respect Huaixu and the Martial Arts Association, and would fully assist with any future requests from the Association.
At the bottom of the letter, the personal signatures of the heads of all the major families could be seen.
This was a letter of surrender, clarifying the stance of these families.
Obviously, Fang Yu’s demonstrated strength had shocked them.
Might makes right – this has been the truth throughout history.
After reading the contents of the letter, Fang Yu handed it back to Zheng Ze.
“Mr. Fang, all the major families have extended invitations to meet with you. I wonder if you would…” Zheng Ze asked.
“Forget it, I don’t have time for their flattery,” Fang Yu said.
“Very well, I will decline all invitations on your behalf.” Zheng Ze lowered his head and said.
After speaking, Zheng Ze was about to take his leave.
At this moment, Fang Yu suddenly thought of something and said: “By the way, I hope my address won’t be disclosed, otherwise it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.”
Zheng Ze was stunned for a moment, then nodded and bowed: “I will definitely keep it confidential.”
……
“The Wang family has been at the top for so long, it’s about time they came down to breathe the dust of us commoners!”
“Indeed, they deserve it. They were so arrogant before, now it’s time for their downfall…”
“Rather than discussing the Wang family, why not talk about that Fang Yu… who exactly is he? Being so powerful, why isn’t his name on the Divine Ranking or Sacred Ranking of the Sky Observation Bureau?”
Although a day had passed, the discussion was still heated.
In North Capital’s martial arts circles, various groups in different places were all discussing this matter.
Regarding the fall of the Wang family, most people were gloating.
Besides the psychology similar to ‘resentment of the rich’, it was more about venting frustration.
Because before this, the Wang family had been too arrogant and domineering, making many enemies.
Now, someone had beaten the once invincible Wang family on their behalf, making them lose face and dignity, which was extremely satisfying.
Of course, those most pleased with the Wang family’s severe weakening… were the other top families.
Apart from the Wei family, which had collapsed early due to the Half-Spirit Race incident, the remaining six major families – Lin, Ma, Guan, Fan, Wan, and Qi – were all very happy.
Initially, the so-called eight major families were only forcibly ranked together.
In reality, the Wang family’s strength far exceeded the other seven major families.
Now, with the Wang family suffering heavy losses and falling from grace.
This meant that the remaining six major families, who hadn’t experienced any major incidents and had preserved most of their strength, all had a chance to compete for the top position.
Among them, the Lin family, always known as the second family, had the best chance to rise to the top.
But the Lin family’s strength wasn’t much different from the other five major families.
Therefore, each family had a relative opportunity.
It all depended on who could seize this best opportunity.
……
Lin family mansion.
Unlike the Wang family’s Wanhe Mountain Villa, the Lin family mansion was very ordinary in design, not much different from some wealthy families in the secular world.
At this moment, in the study.
A man with a serious expression sat at the desk.
In front of him stood two women.
One was obviously older, wearing an elegant form-fitting qipao, with a beautiful face, light makeup, and exuding a gentle, intellectual aura.
Beside this woman stood a girl who looked only about twenty-five years old.
This girl had black hair that cascaded like a waterfall down to her lower back.
Under her willow-leaf eyebrows were phoenix eyes, with clear whites and black pupils embedded within, shining brightly.
Her features were perfect, her skin snow-white.
With such a face, makeup would actually be counterproductive.
The girl wore a black martial arts outfit with a long sword at her left waist, giving her a cold demeanor.
Looking carefully, one would notice that the three people in the study shared some similarities in their features.
“I was about to practice,” the girl said expressionlessly to the man in front of her.
“Zhilan, your father called you here because he wants to discuss something with you,” the woman beside her said.
The speaking woman was Lin Zhilan’s mother, He Ziying.
And the man sitting at the desk was He Ziying’s husband and Lin Zhilan’s father, Lin Zhengxiong.
“What is it? Say it quickly, I need to go practice afterward,” Lin Zhilan still spoke coldly, without expression.
“What kind of attitude is this?” Lin Zhengxiong frowned deeply and said sternly.
“This is my attitude, always has been. If you can’t stand it, you don’t need to talk to me,” Lin Zhilan didn’t back down, looking directly at Lin Zhengxiong as she answered.
“You…” Lin Zhengxiong glared at Lin Zhilan, breathing heavily with anger.
“It’s fine, it’s fine. Your father has been busy lately and is a bit irritable. Don’t take it personally,” He Ziying, seeing the situation deteriorating, immediately moved closer and whispered to Lin Zhilan.
Then, she turned her head and desperately gave Lin Zhengxiong meaningful looks.
He Ziying knew her daughter’s personality very well.
If they really wanted to talk to her, they had to go along with her wishes, otherwise, it would definitely end badly.
Lin Zhengxiong received He Ziying’s signals, took a deep breath, and calmed himself.
“Have you heard about what happened yesterday?” Lin Zhengxiong asked.
Lin Zhilan shook her head and answered: “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Zhilan was in the practice room all day yesterday and didn’t leave,” He Ziying immediately said.
Lin Zhengxiong had originally wanted to lecture Lin Zhilan about the importance of staying informed.
But seeing Lin Zhilan’s indifferent face, he abandoned the idea and stood up.
“Yesterday, a man named Fang Yu went alone to the Wang family’s Wanhe Mountain Villa,” Lin Zhengxiong said. “He easily defeated the Wang family’s top talent, Wang Shuangfan, who ranks fourth, and then consecutively dealt with a group of Wang family elites… Even when the Wang family’s guardian elders came out, they were no match for him.”
“In the end, the core members of the Wang family knelt before this man, begging for mercy!”
“This matter has now spread throughout North Capital, you should know about it!”
Lin Zhilan’s expression still didn’t change much.
Because this matter had no impact on her whatsoever.
“Why did you call me here?” Lin Zhilan asked again.
“I heard that the man named Fang Yu looks extremely young, appearing to be only in his early twenties…” As Lin Zhengxiong was speaking, Lin Zhilan’s willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed.
“What exactly are you trying to say?” Lin Zhilan interrupted Lin Zhengxiong and said, “If you don’t have anything urgent, I’ll go practice now.”
