The crowd turned to look, and saw Fang Chen carrying several pounds of meat and two jars of wine.

Dad was a little surprised by Fang Chen's arrival.

He smiled and asked, "A Chen, why are you looking for me today? And are those things in your hands for us to eat at home?"

Fang Chen also smiled and replied, "Yes, I bought these things to celebrate today, and also to see what your workplace is like."

A middle-aged uncle standing nearby couldn't help but ask, "Fang's kid, what are you celebrating?"

"I don't remember any recent holidays. I heard Old Fang say you've been practicing martial arts. Practicing martial arts costs a lot of money, you should be saving more."

The few people standing next to Dad nodded in agreement.

After all, this meat and wine weren't cheap.

They could rarely afford such things, only indulging in a bit of meat during major festivals.

Now, Fang Chen buying so much at once made everyone feel he was being extravagant!

If this were their own child, they'd have beaten him soundly.

Young people spending so lavishly wouldn't be able to live well!

Dad, however, didn't have any particular thoughts.

He knew that after the incident with Zhao San, Fang Chen had come into a lot of money.

Since Fang Chen had earned it himself, Dad naturally wouldn't ask too many questions.

However, Dad was also curious and expectant about what Fang Chen was going to celebrate.

"A Chen, what are you celebrating? Did you achieve something in your martial arts training?"

The people nearby also looked at Fang Chen.

Fang Chen smiled and then said, "Dad, I've already broken through to the Skin and Muscle Realm."

Upon hearing this, Dad's friends' first reaction was disbelief.

After all, Dad had told them that Fang Chen had only been at the martial arts school for less than a month!

He broke through in just a month?!

Even though the uncles weren't very knowledgeable about martial arts, they understood that practicing martial arts was difficult!

Even rich young masters couldn't break through so quickly!

They were all laborers and knew their families' situations.

They couldn't even afford meat every meal, let alone buy precious medicinal herbs to nourish their bodies!

Under such harsh conditions, how could Fang Chen break through in less than a month!

One of them, who was more straightforward, immediately said, "Fang's kid, your dad doesn't earn money easily. You don't need to lie to him like this, even if it's just for drinking and eating meat!"

Seeing someone speak up first, another person frowned and said, "Child, Old Fang was just telling us that you've changed. I didn't expect you to still be talking nonsense and not even consider how hard your dad works!"

Someone else said angrily, "Hmph, if you were my son, I'd hang you up and beat you."

Just then, an angry shout interrupted their words.

"Enough! I believe in A Chen's abilities!"

Dad frowned and looked at everyone.

"A Chen really has changed. As his father, I can tell. You don't need to say any more."

The crowd exchanged glances and sighed.

Since Dad was so convinced, they couldn't say anything more.

Although Fang Chen felt a little annoyed, he knew the uncles meant well.

He didn't argue and turned to look at Dad, smiling and saying:

"Dad, there's plenty of wine and meat today!"

Dad also showed a smile.

The afterglow of the sunset cast long shadows of the two figures as they walked back, chuckling.

At this moment, a Steward ran over and asked the remaining people, "Where is Old Fang? Has he gone back already?"

The uncles were a bit confused by the Steward's arrival. One of them said:

"Sir, Old Fang's son just came to find him. They left just now."

The Steward sighed.

"Never mind, I'll tell him tomorrow then."

An uncle asked worriedly, "Steward, is there something you need to tell Old Fang? He didn't do anything wrong, did he?"

Everyone's gaze turned to the Steward.

The Steward smiled and said, "Old Fang didn't do anything wrong, it's his son..."

"What's wrong with his kid? Did he get into some serious trouble! I knew this kid would never let Old Fang rest easy, only cause him more trouble!"

The Steward roared, "What nonsense are you spouting! Young Master Fang is friends with our Young Gang Leader. If you don't want to work here anymore, just say so!"

Hearing this, the impatient uncle shivered, "What?! This... how is this possible?! That kid is just a..."

Just as he was about to blurt it out, someone next to him immediately covered his mouth, "Idiot, do you want to keep talking nonsense?!"

The impatient uncle finally came to his senses, cold sweat pouring down his back. He had almost said the wrong thing again.

The person beside him looked at the Steward and said obsequiously, "Steward, is there something urgent you need Old Fang for? I can relay the message to him tomorrow."

Seeing the man's decent attitude, the Steward explained:

"Starting tomorrow, Old Fang will be your supervisor. His job will be to ensure you're all working diligently!"

"From now on, he won't have to move heavy cargo like you guys!"

"So, you all need to be polite to him from now on. If you have any past grievances, it's best to resolve them quickly. Otherwise... hehe, Old Fang might just decide he doesn't like you one day and punish you directly!"

Everyone present was instantly startled, They usually didn't have any grudges with Old Fang, But they had just badmouthed Fang Chen, and there was no guarantee Fang Chen wouldn't hold a grudge and have Old Fang punish them.

Everyone present instantly regretted it, wishing they could slap themselves.

Why did they have to butt into other people's business!

Now, Old Fang might really make things difficult for them.

Everyone was a little anxious, thinking about how to make amends, Especially, they couldn't let Fang Chen get angry.

According to what they heard, Fang Chen had indeed broken through to the Skin and Muscle Realm.

If he threw a punch, they might be beaten to death on the spot.

Not to mention, Fang Chen was actually friends with the Young Gang Leader of the Three Rivers Gang!

If Fang Chen really held a grudge, how would they survive?!

The Steward looked at their trembling appearances and asked suspiciously, "What, did you guys do something wrong?"
