Hitting Fang Qingwei

"This lowly one knows his mistake, this lowly one knows his mistake. Please, Second Miss, spare this lowly one's offense."

The young servant kneeling on the ground had a terrified expression, his head knocking against the ground like pounding garlic.

In just a moment, the clothes on the young servant's back were already tattered, revealing a bloody back.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The whip continued to fall, each lash delivered with full force.

"How many lashes?"

"Reporting to Second Miss, ten lashes. Ten more to go," the maid wielding the whip replied.

"I am fair in rewards and punishments. Your name is Fang Han, right? My Thousand Mile Snow is well-cared for by you, showing your usual diligence. However, today you actually caused it to fall and get injured. This cannot be forgiven. You must understand that this horse is your life. Even if you have to risk your life, you must serve it well. Continue," Fang Qingwei said coldly.

"Yes."

Crack!

After ten lashes, Fang Han, who was kneeling on the ground, was already pale, sweating profusely, and even his expression was somewhat dazed. He could only continuously beg for mercy.

Fang Xuan, who was nearby, frowned. He had seen Fang Qingwei punishing servants several times before and couldn't be bothered to intervene, nor could he stop it. Just as he was about to turn and leave, he suddenly heard the name "Fang Han."

He abruptly turned his head to look at the young servant kneeling on the ground.

Thousand Mile Snow, Fang Han.

Old Demon Fang?

"Stop!"

Fang Xuan shouted loudly and stepped forward.

Fang Qingwei had naturally already seen Fang Xuan, and her expression was not good. It was clear she still remembered Fang Xuan's rejection of her a few days ago.

"What, Thirteen Brother wants to plead for this slave?" Fang Qingwei said sarcastically.

"Second Sister, it's best to be lenient when possible. It was just an accident, and besides, your Thousand Mile Horse wasn't seriously injured. This young servant is just an ordinary person. Twenty lashes will take half his life," Fang Xuan said with a frown.

"Hmph, what does my disciplining of servants have to do with you? This slave injured my Thousand Mile Horse and deserves to be punished. Get out of the way quickly. Qing Xiu, why aren't you continuing the execution?"

"Yes, Miss."

After speaking, she continued to swing the whip in her hand.

A hint of anger flashed in Fang Xuan's eyes. He moved like lightning, grabbing the whip from the maid's hand.

Fang Qingwei was also furious and said, "How dare you! Let Second Sister see Thirteen Brother's martial arts properly today. Do you really think you can be so rude just because you've entered the Suppleness Realm?"

As a "master" among the younger generation of the Fang Family, second only to the eldest sister, she had reached the peak of the Suppleness Realm at a young age and could break through to the Divine Strength Realm at any time.

Favored by the family and sought after by everyone, this had long cultivated Fang Qingwei's arrogant personality. While being self-centered might be an exaggeration, what she disliked most was resistance from others.

She took a step, and her entire body moved like a white crane, covering several meters in a single stride. A pair of fair, tender palms struck towards Fang Xuan's chest.

Fang Xuan stood still and snorted coldly. Without using any martial arts techniques, he directly threw a straight punch from his position with his right hand.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

As the punch was thrown, the surrounding air was compressed, emitting strange noises.

The violent airflow sealed off the surroundings, and the surrounding vegetation swayed under the force of the punch.

Fang Qingwei, who was rushing forward, her face drastically changed, and she said in horror, "This is impossible, you... Ugh!"

Fang Qingwei came quickly, but she flew back even faster, crashing heavily against the wall beside her. The entire wall also collapsed under the impact. A mouthful of blood spurted from her mouth, and Fang Qingwei's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Feeling the injuries on her body and the mud all over her, a sense of anger surged through her heart and lungs, causing her blood to flow backward. Then, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

"Second Miss."

The surrounding servants also looked terrified and quickly rushed towards Fang Qingwei.

Only then did Fang Xuan have time to carefully observe Fang Han.

He looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, his appearance not outstanding. At this moment, he was kneeling on the ground, trembling, his face full of fear.

Looking at the unconscious Fang Qingwei, Fang Han not only didn't feel the joy of revenge but was instead filled with terror, as if the sky had fallen.

Fang Xuan couldn't help but chuckle at Fang Han's expression. As expected of Old Demon Fang, even at such a young age, he already knew how to weigh the pros and cons.

Two masters of the Fang Family had a big fight because of him, a servant. Regardless of who won or lost, the one who would suffer the most in the end would definitely be him, the servant.

"Your name is Fang Han?"

"Rep... Reporting to Thirteenth Young Master, this... this servant is Fang Han," Fang Han stammered.

"You've been implicated," Fang Xuan said apologetically.

"This... this servant wouldn't dare."

"From now on, you will follow me. With me protecting you, Fang Qingwei won't be able to do anything to you."

Fang Han's heart filled with joy, and he quickly kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, Thirteenth Young Master. Greetings, Thirteenth Young Master."

No matter what, he had to leave Second Miss first. Otherwise, when Second Miss woke up, he would definitely lose his life.

"Can you still walk? Come back with me."

"Alright."

With that, he struggled to his feet, enduring the pain in his body as he followed behind Fang Xuan.

Fang Xuan also stepped towards his courtyard, his mind contemplating how to treat this protagonist who had not yet risen.

Fang Han, Old Demon Fang, a person who was very good at devouring others. Throughout the entire story, this guy practically spent his time devouring people. If he wasn't devouring people, he was on his way to devour people.

When Fang Xuan first learned that this world was the world of Eternal Life, he had also thought about killing Fang Han.

However, this thought was dismissed in his mind in just an instant. At this stage, Old Demon Fang was being watched by countless powerful figures from above. As a small fry, it was better not to cause trouble.

Moreover, even if he could kill him, it wouldn't be of much use.

After the Lightning Mother brought out the artifact spirit of the Gate of Eternal Life, it had reincarnated countless times and died countless times. But as long as the true spirit remained, it could continuously reincarnate. If he killed Fang Han in this life, who knew what kind of "Han" would appear in the next life.

It was simply useless.

Furthermore, looking back at Fang Han's actions throughout his life, although he constantly devoured people, that was only towards his enemies. Towards his own people, he was extremely good.

Therefore, instead of trying to deal with Fang Han, it was better to bestow favors upon him.

This was a colossal leg to cling to. If he could butter him up properly, he would simply soar!

While contemplating, he had already arrived at his own small courtyard. Looking at Old Demon Fang, who was following closely behind him, Fang Xuan could only take things one step at a time.

"Young Master, you're back!"

"Where's my mother?"

"Madam is in the kitchen. I'll go inform Madam right away."

"No need, I'll go myself. Xiao Yu, this is Fang Han. Go get him some medicine and bandage his wounds," Fang Xuan instructed.

"Yes, Young Master."

After bowing to Fang Xuan, Fang Han followed Xiao Yu into the room.

"Mother, I'm back! It smells so good, what delicious food are you making?" Fang Xuan plunged into the kitchen.

The kitchen, filled with the aroma of cooking, had a unique warmth. A familiar figure was stir-frying in front of the stove.

Upon hearing Fang Xuan's voice, Zhao Xuemei's face lit up with surprise. Without even putting down the spatula in her hand, she turned and embraced Fang Xuan.

"My precious darling, you're finally back! You had Mother so worried!"
