Unveiling, Part 2

"Sister, I heard you were pregnant, so I rushed back immediately." Zhang Rongfang stepped forward, gently opened her arms, and hugged Zhang Rongyu.

He specifically arranged for Qing Su to pretend that he and his sister were communicating for safety.

Every so often, he would read through all the letters.

Looking at her older sister, who was clearly more radiant than she had been a few years ago, Zhang Rongfang knew that she was doing very well now.

Only those with a good living environment can be so radiant.

The two entered the mansion hand in hand, and Zhang Rongyu kept asking Zhang Rongfang recent life along the way.

The Jin Xiu was also mentioned.

With her help, Jin Xiu started a small business and is now living a pretty good life.

And there's Lu Mei Sha.

They've found Mei Sha a marriage partner, and they're currently negotiating.

Lu Mei Sha planned to make initial contact and then see how things went. The other party was outstanding and valued Lu Mei Sha highly, so it seemed things were about to work out.

The two talked as they walked.

Zhang Rongfang picked out some less important things to talk about, and he wanted to tell the other party his true situation several times.

But then she thought, even if her sister found out, what could she do? Besides worrying and being afraid, there was nothing she could do.

Rather than doing that, it would be better to wait until he can stabilize the situation and is no longer afraid of anything before speaking up.

In the garden of the Mu Chi Family.

"It seems Rong Fang, you've grown up and have your own ideas now." Zhang Rongyu turned to look at his younger brother, his face showing a hint of emotion.

"Your expression just now, was there something you wanted to tell me?" She keenly noticed the clue.

"A little, but after thinking about it, I'd better not say anything," Zhang Rongfang said softly.

"It's alright. As people grow up, they will always encounter all sorts of troubles." Zhang Rongyu smiled, picked a pale pink orchid, and gently sniffed it.

"Actually, there are some things I'm hiding from you too."

"Huh?" Zhang Rongfang was taken aback.

"Actually," Zhang Rongyu paused, "Do you want to hear it? Or should I not tell you?" She smiled and said, "This time we're on equal footing. You have a secret, and I have a secret. We've balanced each other out." Zhang Rongyu smiled playfully.

"Will there be any trouble?" Zhang Rongfang asked.

"Of course not. We are now one of the two pillar Lineage in the entire Wushan Prefecture. Our businesses are flourishing everywhere, who would dare to provoke us?" Zhang Rongyu said with a smile.

"Then," Zhang Rongfang wanted to ask.

Suddenly, a slender figure walked quickly towards them from the side.

"Zhang Rongfang! You're back?" Lu Mei Sha was wearing a pink butterfly-sleeved long dress, her long hair reaching her waist, and she had completely transformed into the appearance of a well-bred young lady.

She is elegant and refined, a stark contrast to how she looked a few years ago.

"Mei Sha, did you just go on a spring outing with Yu Xi?" Zhang Rongyu asked with a smile.

"Yes, there were several other people with us. It was tiring, but it was really fun." Lu Mei Sha's eyes revealed a genuine happiness as she spoke.

"Chen Yu Xi Mei Sha have been dating for a while now, and I estimate they'll be engaged soon," her older sister Zhang Rongyu explained.

"Congratulations," Zhang Rongfang said to Lu Mei Sha with a smile.

"Brother Yu Xi is now a true Sixth Grade martial arts genius. With him around, we can go on our spring outing safely. I originally wanted to invite him to have dinner at the manor, but he's busy with official duties and just received some cases that he needs to investigate, so..."

Lu Mei Sha glanced at Zhang Rongfang with a hint of smugness.

Since being betrayed by her close friends in her circle a few years ago because of Zhang Rongfang, she has become quite interested in martial arts.

Now, their wish has finally come true, and they have found a young martial artist who is even more talented than Zhang Rongfang.

"Yu Xi is amazing. He's only twenty-five, right? And he's already at the Sixth Grade?" Zhang Rongyu said in surprise. "If you have time, you could ask him to give our Rong Fang some pointers. I've heard that the younger you are, the more you should take the opportunity to break through your rank."

"That's right. I'll talk to him about it later. They both practice martial arts, so they should have more in common." Lu Mei Sha's lips curled up, revealing a hint of smugness.

"Actually, it's not necessary." Zhang Rongfang smiled and declined. "Different people practice different martial arts."

"You're welcome." Lu Mei Sha's smile grew even wider. "I'll talk to Yu Xi about it later. You can't learn by doing things behind closed doors; you can only grow faster through more communication."

She looked at Zhang Rongfang.

"It's a wonder you're so tall. If you were as talented as Yu Xi, I wouldn't have to worry about you so often."

Zhang Rongfang was speechless.

Seeing that Lu Mei Sha wanted to say something else, he quickly changed the subject and talked about the hottest topic recently: the conflict between the Three Sects.

"News came from your brother-in-law's family." Zhang Rongyu's expression slowly changed as he spoke. "The Great Ling's fleet in Xi Yi has been defeated. A large number of ships encountered storms and sank. Only a few highly skilled generals escaped, including members of the Mu Chi Family."

"Mei Sha should know about this as well."

Lu Mei Sha's smile faded.

"Many people from the main family are gone, which is why Society Master to find my brother, hoping he can go back."

"The West Meaning Fleet suffered a major defeat?" Zhang Rongfang felt a chill run down his spine. The Great Ling had warriors who Worship God, so it seemed that things might not be so simple in the West.

The three of them chatted for a while about the possibility of returning to their master's house in the future.

Zhang Rongfang never expected that his trip back would bring him such big news.

In the afternoon, my brother-in-law returned home and unexpectedly brought Chen Yu Xi with him to the family dinner.

It was evening.

After the meal, the group went for a walk in the Backyard Garden to digest their food.

Zhang Rongfang and her brother-in-law Suda Heqi walked side by side, chatting quietly.

"Actually, my family has called me back home many times already." Suda Heqi looked at Chen Yu Xi and Lu Mei Sha, who were laughing and joking quietly in the distance. His eyes were somewhat complicated.

"They promised me that once I went back, I would have much more resources and power than before, but I still refused."

"Why?" Zhang Rongfang had a vague idea.

"Because they want me to marry a Spirit Noble as my principal wife," Suda Heqi replied. "But I said I could go back, on the condition that your sister be recognized and join the clan. They didn't agree, so we're at an impasse."

He glanced at Zhang Rongfang, whose expression had changed, and smiled again, saying...

"When I was sick before, they looked down on me and kicked me out. Later, when I wanted to decide my own marriage, they cut off my inheritance rights. Now that I'm in trouble and seeing that I'm doing well, they want to pull me back? Sometimes, I even doubt which side is my family and relatives."

"Perhaps among Great Clans, self-interest is the fundamental principle," Zhang Rongfang replied.

"Yes, perhaps." Suda Heqi. "But I've also come to terms with it. Life is but a mere hundred years; it's enough to live the life you want."

"Brother, Rong Fang, come here quickly. Yu Xi is in the mood to give Rong Fang some pointers. Maybe a few words from a master can help you break through your rank?"

Lu Mei Sha waved in this direction.

Zhang Rongfang opened her mouth and glanced at the tall Chen Yu Xi beside her.

This person has long, sturdy limbs and is over two meters tall, only slightly shorter than him. His chest and back muscles are quite well-developed.

Hearing Lu Mei Sha's voice, he smiled at Zhang Rongfang.

Before he came, he heard Mei Sha mention that he wanted to help her get revenge.

To be triumphant and triumphant.

Zhang Rongfang used to be arrogant at home because of his talent and martial arts skills. We invited him here to help him vent his anger.

"Maybe we shouldn't?" Zhang Rongfang scanned the man with his Dark Light Vision and roughly understood his background.

They are indeed more powerful than ordinary grunts.

Then he couldn't tell how high it was anymore.

After all, he hadn't seriously observed individuals below the Ninth Grade for a long time.

"Don't be afraid, Brother Yu Xi will be careful and won't hurt you." Lu Mei Sha could tell that Zhang Rongfang was trying to avoid the situation.

I knew he must be scared.

"No, actually I..." Zhang Rongfang felt that he shouldn't have hurt Lu Mei Sha too much.

For his brother-in-law's sake, he could have dealt with Lu Mei Sha in a different way.

"It's alright, it's alright, go ahead, it'll be a good opportunity for us to see how strong you are now." Zhang Rongyu, the older sister, also came over and said with a smile.

"You're twenty-two this year. You've been traveling around all the time, never An Ning. Now that you say you're doing well out there, we should see just how well you're doing."

Zhang Rongyu was actually quite curious about her younger brother's abilities.

She asked someone to investigate her brother's situation, but they couldn't find out much.

All we could find was that my brother had joined a very powerful organization. All information about him had been blocked and removed.

Now I have the perfect opportunity to give it a try.

Seeing the expectant looks on the faces of the people around him, Zhang Rongfang thought for a moment.

"Alright, then I'll make a fool of myself." He decided to stop there.

Soon, the two turned and arrived at the Martial Arts Field of the Mansion.

Many servants and maids in the temple had already heard the news and came to see what was going on.

The weapon racks and protective armor are all ready.

The two of them put on their breastplates, Helmet, and Skirt Armor together, covering their vital organs.

Then they went on stage and stood facing each other.

"Let's make it clear first, we won't fight each other's heads or hearts. We'll just use our fists to make friends and stop when we've reached our limit." Chen Yu Xi had a dignified appearance and a sunny disposition, and his words easily gave people the feeling of an open and honest gentleman.

It makes it easy for people to develop a good impression of you.

Zhang Rongfang a little unsure.

He hadn't fought anyone below the Ninth Grade for a long time. Knowing how to control his strength was a skill; otherwise, he was afraid of using too much force and accidentally injuring his opponent. How to fight with style without killing the chick was a difficult problem.

*** Upper Capital, on the Green River.

At midnight, pink Lotus Lanterns floated everywhere on the river.

Hundreds or even thousands of floating lights drifted slowly into the distance along the river.

These lamps are all made of folded paper, with a little lamp oil added. When they burn to a certain point, they will ignite the entire lotus flower.

Amidst a multitude of Lotus Lanterns, Painted Boats slowly glided through the crowd.

Inside one of the largest Painted Boats.

A tall, imposing figure was quietly gazing at the night view of the entire Upper Capital.

Looking at the city from the ship, it's as if the city itself is an unprecedented multi-story ship, slowly moving to the left.

At this moment, it felt as if I was the one who was still, while the city was the one that was moving.

"Judging by the time, you should be here soon," the figure suddenly said softly.

"Knowing we were coming, you still dared to stay here alone?"

On the deck of the Painted Boats behind him, Long-Bearded Elder, wearing a Purple Daoist Robe and Golden Lotus Crown, was slowly approaching him.

"Why wouldn't you dare?" the figure asked in return, turning around to reveal a strange mask.

The left side is laughter, the right side is anger.

"Where is Master Yuan? Now that you're here, why hide?"

As soon as the figure uttered those words, a figure silently stepped out from the shadows at the stern of the Painted Boats.

It was a dwarf with an extremely strange appearance.

He was short and fat, so fat that he looked like a Round Ball.

Therefore, Master Yuan Master Yuan is also sometimes called Round Stone.

Many years ago, when he was still weak and of low status, everyone called him Round Stone.

Later, he killed all those who called him that.

The remaining people called him Master Yuan.

This round-faced monk had his features squeezed together. Although his face was quite large, his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose were all fused together. From a distance, it was impossible to even discern his expression.

This is also why Master Yuan never easily reveals himself to outsiders.

"Moon King, you shouldn't be here to handle matters in Great Capital. Anyone else could have a reason, but you are the only one who should be here." Master Yuan's sharp voice was like a haphazardly strummed erhu, harsh and unpleasant to hear.

"Is that so?" The Moon King laughed, reaching out to gently pinch his mask.

"In this world, I can go wherever I want. As for whether there's a reason?"

The Moon King chuckled softly.

"Now, do you see who I am?"

With a soft crack, the mask on his face suddenly split open and fell in two pieces.
