Two days later, at noon, the outline of a city appeared at the end of the official road.
The city wall made of bluestone is tall and thick, and there is an endless flow of cars, horses and people at the city gate. The three characters "Clear River City" on the lintel have survived the wind and rain and are clearly visible.
Fang Han walked into the city with the flow of people.
The streets are wide and lined with shops. The shouts of vendors and footmen and the sounds of carriages and horses are intertwined. Although it is not as prosperous as Azure Profound City, it is far better than Liangshui City, showing a lively atmosphere.
Feeling a little hungry, he found a street food stall, ordered a bowl of noodles, and chatted with the stall owner while eating.
"Old man, may I ask where the Chu Family mansion is?"
"Chu Family, it's easy to find. Go east along this main street and you'll find the most magnificent house at the end."
The stall owner was an old man with gray hair. Hearing this, he looked up at Fang Han and said.
A diner next to him interjected:
"Chu Family is so great now. A few years ago, it was just a small business. Who would have thought that a disciple of the Azure Profound Sect True Disciple could be born, and it would become rich all of a sudden. Now it is one of the largest businesses in the city."
"Yes, Master Chu Feng joined Azure Profound Sect and became True Disciple. Chu Family also followed the chicken and dog to ascend to heaven."
Another person echoed, with envy and jealousy in his tone.
It turns out that a few years ago, this Chu Family was just an inconspicuous little Lineage among Clear River City, with weak power.
But since Chu Feng became a disciple of True Disciple, Chu Family has taken advantage of the situation to rise rapidly. In just a few years, it has become one of the few big Lineages in Clear River City.
Fang Han followed the route he had learned and arrived in front of the Chu Family's mansion.
The vermilion-lacquered gate is of extraordinary grandeur, with two majestic stone lions standing in front of it, and several Guard with sharp eyes standing on both sides, revealing the atmosphere of the great Lineage.
Fang Han stepped forward, showed Azure Profound Sect's disciple Identity Jade Token, and explained his purpose.
After Guard inspected it, one of them led Fang Han inside.
After passing through several courtyards, Fang Han was introduced into a spacious guesthouse Living Room that was luxuriously decorated and covered with soft carpets.
Maid After serving the fragrant tea, he stood aside with his hands down.
Fang Han Sit quietly and wait.
After about a stick of incense, there was a sound of footsteps, and a middle-aged man wearing Brocade Robe, with a rich face and a bit of reserve and arrogance in his eyes walked in, accompanied by a butler.
This person is Chu Family Clan Head, Chu Yunshan.
"Feng'er brought something back?"
Chu Yunshan sat down at the main seat, his eyes fell on Fang Han, his tone was calm, with a condescending look, as if he was treating a subordinate who came to pay a visit.
Fang Han was slightly stunned. The attitude of Chu Yunshan was exactly the same as that of Chu Feng. They were indeed of the same origin.
With a calm expression on his face, he stood up and presented the flat object tightly wrapped in oilcloth and the lacquered letter with both hands.
"Chu Clan Head, this is the thing entrusted by Chu Feng True Disciple, please check it."
Chu Yunshan did not pick it up personally, but nodded slightly to the butler beside him.
The housekeeper stepped forward to take the letter and items, carefully checked the lacquer seal of the letter and the seals of the items in the package. After confirming that they were correct, he whispered to Chu Yunshan.
"Clan Head, intact."
Chu Yunshan then said "hmm" and waved his hand, signaling the butler to put the things away.
He looked at Fang Han again, and there was still no warmth in his eyes, as if Fang Han had completed an ordinary trivial matter, and even said "hard work" in a polite way.
"Now that the task has been completed, I will take my leave."
Fang Han felt disgusted by the other party's attitude. He didn't want to stay here any longer, so he handed over his hands and wanted to leave.
A small family that only a few years ago had to look up to others, has become so arrogant just because of the emergence of a true successor. Even the official disciples of Qingxuan Sect seem to have become servants of the Chu family. This look is really disgusting.
However, just as Fang Han turned around, there was a sudden noise outside the hall.
Immediately afterwards, a young man wearing a silk shirt, but with a bruised nose and face, and a messy bun, ran in crying and threw himself in front of Chu Yunshan.
"Dad! Dad! You have to make the decision for me! Liu Family Liu Mang, that bastard, beat me in the street!"
When Chu Yunshan saw this, his face instantly darkened, and he yelled, "Why are you panicking! What a shame! Tell me slowly, what is going on?"
The young man, obviously the son of Chu Yunshan, cried with snot and tears:
"I was just teasing the woman next to him on the street, and then Liu Mang led people to surround me, and they started to attack me without asking... He also said that we Chu Family only relied on the power of our elder brother to dare to be arrogant in Clear River City!"
"Bastard!" Chu Yunshan was furious and slapped the coffee table next to him, causing the tea cups to jingle.
This Liu Family boy dared to beat his son in the street and uttered arrogant words. This was clearly a naked provocation!
In anger, Chu Yunshan glanced around and happened to see Fang Han who was about to leave.
His eyes flashed, and he seemed to have thought of something. He immediately changed into a commanding tone and said to Fang Han, "Don't leave yet!"
Fang Han paused, turned around, and looked at Chu Yunshan calmly, already guessing what the other party wanted to do.
Sure enough, Chu Yunshan said in an unquestionable tone:
"You are the person sent by me, Feng'er, wearing the clothes of the Azure Profound Sect. Now, go to the Liu Family and show your identity."
"Please help me, Chu Family, to shock those ignorant Liu Family, and let them know that I, Chu Family, are not someone they can mess with!"
He sounded as if Fang Han was a soldier under Chu Feng, waiting to be dispatched, and he was supposed to solve Chu Family's problems.
Fang Han was immediately offended.
This Chu Yunshan is really good at climbing the ladder. He just accepted a transportation task, and the relationship between money and goods was settled. But when he came here, he actually regarded himself as his Chu Family's personal power?
He Fang Han is the official disciple of the Azure Profound Sect, not the domestic slave of his Chu Family!
The last trace of the polite smile on Fang Han's face faded. He faced Chu Yunshan's self-righteous gaze and replied in a clear and cold voice.
"Chu Clan Head, I was just ordered to deliver the items. The task has been completed. As for the personal grudge between your house and Liu Family, I apologize for the inconvenience of intervening. I take my leave."
After that, he didn't stop at all, turned around, and strode out of the hall.
Without any hesitation.
"You...!"
Chu Yunshan did not expect Fang Han to refuse so simply and with such a tough attitude, and was stunned on the spot for a moment.
By the time he reacted, Fang Han's figure had disappeared into Corridor outside the hall door.
Chu Yunshan turned livid with anger, pointed in the direction Fang Han left, and roared at the housekeeper beside him.
"Arrogant! It's so unreasonable for a mere ordinary disciple to dare to go against my will. I'm going to write to Feng'er to let him know what a disrespectful person he sent!"
Fang Han vaguely heard the roar coming from behind him, but he did not stop, and instead there was a touch of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.
Sue?
Just go ahead and sue.
Although Chu Feng is True Disciple and has a respected status, in the final analysis, Elder is not Azure Profound Sect yet and has no right to directly deal with an official disciple.
What's more, my trip was completely in compliance with the sect's rules and there was nothing wrong with it.
As for the possibility of offending Chu Feng, Fang Han doesn't really care.
In the end, the road to martial arts must rely on one's own strength to speak for itself.
It is true that Chu Feng is now True Disciple, but with the help of System Panel, my future achievements will definitely not be lower than Chu Feng.
Instead of groveling to please a True Disciple who has a higher eye than his own, it is better to focus on improving your own strength.
Strength is the foundation for settling down in this Azure Profound Sect, this world of martial arts.
After leaving Chufu, Fang Han found a restaurant in Clear River City that looked quite clean and tidy to stay, and had a good night's rest to wash away the travel dust.
Early the next morning, he checked out of the hotel and left Clear River City, heading back to the Azure Profound Sect.
The Azure Profound Sect disciple's clothes on his body are an invisible amulet.
Along the way, whether it was the caravans passing by or the strangers they met occasionally, when they saw this outfit, their eyes were full of awe and fear, and no one dared to come forward to provoke him.
Fang Han was so happy to be in peace and quiet that he cast <Startling Swan Step> all the way at an unhurried pace. As he hurried on, he recalled and deduced the various subtle changes of <Wind Splitting Sword Technique> in his mind.
Two days later, he had safely arrived at the edge of the Azure Profound Sect's sphere of influence, and saw the majestic outline of Azure Profound Mountain from a distance.
He did not return directly to the sect, but first took a diversion to Azure Profound City at the foot of the mountain.
After entering the city, he first found a reputable delivery shop, paid the appropriate amount of money, and handed two letters he had already written to the shop clerk.
One letter was written to his parents Fang Zheng and Lin Wan. The content was mainly to report that he was safe, briefly describe his life in the sect, so that they would not have to worry about him, and told Younger Sister Fang Ying to be obedient.
The other letter is addressed to Clan Head Fang Lingyuan.
In this letter, he mentioned that Lin Yaotian bribed Zhao Qianjun to take action against him, and reminded Lineage to take more precautions against the Lin Family.
Once this is done well, Fang Han will feel at ease.
Then, he found a large bank and walked in.
Exchange the thirteen thousand taels of silver notes found from Zhao Qianjun into gold.
A total of ten taels per ingot was obtained, which was a full 130 taels of gold, and was put into a heavy wooden box.
The reason for this is because he has some guesses about the "Recharge" mechanism of System Panel.
The bank note itself is just a certificate that relies on the bank's credit circulation, and its actual value is just a piece of special paper.
If he directly used the banknote Recharge, he was worried that the "wealth" determined by the system was only the value of this piece of paper, not the huge amount of silver it represented.
Although this was just a guess, maybe the system could recognize the value of the banknote, but he didn't dare to gamble.
After all, the denominations of these banknotes are huge, with the minimum being one thousand taels. If the verification fails, the loss will be too great, and he simply cannot afford it now.
To be on the safe side, it is safest to exchange it into gold.
Gold is hard currency, it has extremely high value in itself, and there is no way it can go wrong.
After finishing all this, Fang Han then left Azure Profound City and headed towards the foggy Azure Profound Sect mountain gate.
