Fang Han's face instantly darkened, and his eyes became cold.
He knew that Fang Clan had a conflict with the Lin Family because Lin Family bribed Zhao Qianjun to assassinate him.
But he did not expect that the conflict would become so intense that the two sides would fight frequently and many warriors would be killed or injured.
An uncontrollable anger surged from the bottom of his heart and rushed straight to the top door.
He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning slightly white.
The warm anticipation of returning home has been replaced by the cold murderous intention.
"Lin Family This scourge... it's time to solve it!"
Fang Han took a deep breath, suppressed the boiling anger, and quickly returned to the Fang Clan.
This return is the time to eradicate the scourge of the Lin Family. With his current strength, he has the confidence to do so!
Liangshui City In winter, the cold wind blows through the streets, bringing with it a biting chill.
Fang Han was dressed in the clothes of a disciple of the Azure Profound Sect, walking calmly on the familiar bluestone road, his waist Azure Edge Sword swaying slightly with the steps.
The closer he got to the Fang Mansion, the colder he felt in his heart due to hearing about the conflict between the Fang Clan and Lin Family.
Fang Mansion's familiar red lacquer door appeared in front of him. The two Guard on duty at the door had sharp eyes and pressed their hands on the hilts of their knives, warily looking at the approaching Fang Han.
One of the young men Guard even subconsciously took half a step forward and shouted in a deep voice.
"Anyone who comes, stop here! This place Fang Mansion, please don't let anyone come near!"
The friction and fighting in the past year have made these Guard like frightened birds.
Fang Han paused slightly and raised his eyes to look at the Guard. Before he could speak, the older Guard next to him with a scar on his face suddenly widened his eyes.
He grabbed his companion, his face instantly filled with surprise and respect.
"Yes... it's Master Han! Master Han is back! Hurry, open the front door!"
The young man Guard was stunned for a moment and then realized what he was doing.
Looking at Fang Han's conspicuous Azure Profound Sect clothes, excitement suddenly appeared on his face, and he and his companions quickly pushed open the heavy front door.
When ordinary people enter or leave the mansion, Fang Mansion will only open the side door.
Only visitors with high status or people with extremely high status in the mansion return will open the front door.
Now Fang Han, as a disciple of the Azure Profound Sect, is not inferior to Clan Head in terms of status, so he is naturally qualified to open the main gate and pass through it.
"Master Han, you are finally back!"
The elder Guard bowed and saluted, his tone full of honorable excitement.
Fang Han, who joined Azure Profound Sect, is now the pride of the entire Fang Clan.
"Well, I'm back!"
Fang Han nodded slightly and glanced at the heavily guarded mansion inside the door, adding to the heavy feeling in his heart.
He stepped into the mansion and walked straight towards the Rain-Listening Pavilion in his memory.
The courtyard outside the Rain-Listening Pavilion is more exquisite than I remembered, and it has obviously been renovated this year.
There are also a few Maid and valets under Corridor who are cleaning up unfamiliar faces. They must have been arranged by Lineage this year.
When they saw an extraordinary-looking young man in Tsing Yi walking straight into the inner courtyard, they all looked surprised and wary.
A round-faced Maid was about to step forward to ask, when the oldest Maid named Chunxing happened to come out from behind the pillar.
Chunxing recognized Fang Han at first glance. He was startled for a moment, and then his face burst into uncontrollable surprise.
He almost jogged to greet her, his voice filled with excitement.
"Master Han, you are back!"
As she spoke, she quickly whispered to the newcomers behind her who were still a little confused.
"What are you still doing? Quickly help Master Han get his luggage. This is our Master Han from the Rain-Listening Pavilion, joining the one from the Azure Profound Sect!"
As soon as she shouted, the new servants suddenly realized, their faces suddenly changed to expressions of awe and curiosity, and they hurriedly stepped forward to take the package in Fang Han's hand.
Chunxing himself stepped forward in person and carefully helped Fang Han unpack the luggage on his back, showing genuine attentiveness in his movements.
In the past year, because Fang Han joined Azure Profound Sect, one of Seven Sects, her status as the "old man" of the Rain-Listening Pavilion has increased.
The monthly payment was mentioned as the highest one among Maid, and even the housekeeper was polite when he saw her. She felt grateful for her decision to come to the Rain-Listening Pavilion in the first place.
Fang Han handed her the luggage and looked across the courtyard towards the main house.
The movement in the courtyard had already alarmed the people in the house.
The door was pushed open with a creak, and the first person to run out was a little girl wearing a bun and a pink coat, none other than Younger Sister Fang Ying.
She blinked her big eyes and looked at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar figure in the courtyard. She was a little unsure and rubbed her eyes subconsciously.
Immediately afterwards, father Fang Zheng and mother Lin Wan also walked out quickly.
"Han'er!"
When he saw Fang Han standing in the courtyard with a smile on his face, Lin Wan's eye circles instantly turned red and his voice was choked with sobs.
"Father, mother, Younger Sister, I'm back."
Fang Han looked at his parents who were walking towards him quickly, and Younger Sister who was still a little timid, and a warm current surged in his heart.
"Okay, okay! Just come back! You've grown taller and stronger!"
Fang Zheng patted Fang Han's shoulder hard. Although he tried his best to remain calm, his slightly trembling hands revealed his inner excitement.
"Brother, brother, did you bring me something delicious?"
Fang Ying At this time, he finally confirmed that the person in front of him was his brother. He cheered and rushed over like a little swallow. He raised his little face and asked eagerly.
"I brought it, I brought a lot of Azure Profound City's unique candies and pastries, I'm sure you'll like them!"
Fang Han laughed, bent down and picked up Younger Sister.
When the family of four returned to the warm spring-like house, Fang Han opened their bags and took out a good-looking hosta for their mother Lin Wan and a box of "Warm Sun Tea" for their father Fang Zheng, which helps to warm the body.
Finally, he took out a large paper bag, which contained a variety of Azure Profound City's unique candies and pastries, with an alluring aroma.
Fang Ying cheered and couldn't wait to open the paper package, his eyes shining brightly.
Lin Wan smiled and glanced at her daughter with annoyance, carefully put away the hosta, and looked at Fang Han with eyes full of love.
Fang Zheng stroked the box of tea leaves, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes.
At dinner time, the kitchen prepared sumptuous dishes, most of which were Fang Han's favorite dishes in the past.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was warm, and Lin Wan kept bringing food to Fang Han, asking him whether his life at the Azure Profound Sect was hard and whether he had been bullied.
Fang Han responded one by one, only choosing some light and interesting things to talk about. He didn't mention anything about Chu Feng's difficulties and the fight on the way home.
Fang Ying was chattering about interesting things at home and in the city over the past year, trying to make his brother happy.
However, Fang Han can feel that under this warmth, there is always a trace of lingering worry between the parents' brows.
He knew where this sadness came from.
Fang Clan has been in constant conflict with the Lin Family over the past year. As a square Lineage, my parents are naturally worried.
After the meal, the family drank tea and talked in the Warm Pavilion, and listened to Fang Han telling what he had seen and heard in the Azure Profound Sect.
Fang Ying couldn't wait to open a pack of candies and ate them with a mouth full of sweetness.
At this moment, the housekeeper Fang Zhong came to the Rain-Listening Pavilion and respectfully saluted Fang Zheng and Fang Han in the house.
"Master Zheng, Master Han, Clan Head and several Elder please come over and have a chat with Master Han."
Fang Han and his father looked at each other, knowing that Clan Head's summons at this time must be related to the Lin Family's incident.
He nodded, stood up and said to his parents, "Dad, Mom, I'll be back as soon as I go."
Following Fang Zhong, Fang Han came to a living room.
The hall was brightly lit, but the atmosphere was completely different from the warmth of the Rain-Listening Pavilion, exuding a sense of solemnity.
Clan Head Fang Lingyuan is sitting in the main seat. He has a clear face and sharp eyes. He has been in the upper position for a long time and has a sense of majesty.
On both sides of the lower head, there are four people sitting respectively. They are Fang Clan's four most powerful core members Elder.
Sitting first on the left is Guard Elder Fang Tu. His face is ancient and his eyes are as calm as an ancient well, commanding the power of the Fang Clan Guard.
Next to him is Transmission Elder Fang Yuan. He has white beard and hair, wearing a green robe, with a pale face and gentle and peaceful eyes. At first glance, he looks like a teacher.
And he is also the one Elder that Fang Han is most familiar with among the four core Elder. After all, Fang Han has stayed in Lineage Inner Hall for a full year, and has had a lot of contact with Elder Fang Yuan, and is quite taken care of.
The first person on the right is Foreign Affairs Elder Fang Mingde. He is slightly fat and often has a smooth businessman-like smile on his face. He is responsible for the Fang Clan's foreign trade.
Uncle Fang Ye had been working under him before, but after he was injured, out of concern for Fang Han, Lineage also transferred his uncle to a safer job.
The last one is Law Enforcement Elder Fang Zhenshan, with a stern face and a scar on the left cheek. He is taciturn and is in charge of the criminal law Fang Clan.
These five people are now the highest decision-making level of the Fang Clan. They were also the five most powerful people in the Fang Clan before the rise of Fang Han.
Seeing Fang Han come in, the eyes of the five people were instantly focused on him.
"Fang Han, I'm back, sit down, it's been a hard journey."
Fang Lingyuan showed a smile on his face and pointed to the reserved space.
"Thank you Clan Head."
Fang Han bowed and sat down, glanced at the five elders, and asked.
"Clan Head, fellow Elders, I heard when I came back that Lineage and Lin Family have been in constant conflict this year, causing considerable losses?"
"Yes, in the past year, Lineage and Lin Family have been in constant conflict. The two sides have had dozens of large and small conflicts in mines, shops and other places outside the city."
"I, Fang Clan... have lost thirty-seven warriors, including five Ninth Grade Elder."
Fang Lingyuan Hearing this, a trace of sadness flashed across his face, he sighed and said slowly.
Although he was mentally prepared, Fang Han's heart sank suddenly when he heard this exact number, especially the death of five Ninth Grade Elder. A surge of anger rushed straight to the top door, and his fists were quietly clenched in his sleeves.
Ninth Grade Martial Artist is nothing in the Azure Profound Sect, but in the Fang Clan, a small town like Lineage, it is the mainstay. Fang Clan loses five people at once, which can be said to be a serious injury.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the raging murderous intent, raised his head, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, and said in a deep voice.
"Clan Head, you Elder, Lin Family first hired people to assassinate me, and now you have caused so many casualties to me Fang Clan."
"The hatred between the two parties can no longer be resolved. I suggest taking action first and taking advantage of my annual vacation at home to participate in the operation to eradicate the scourge Lin Family in one fell swoop!"
