Upon hearing Fang Yang's words, everyone present was taken aback, especially the Han Household beside Old Man Han, who looked at Fang Yang with strange expressions, their faces filled with disgust and disdain.
Old Fang trembled with rage, pointing at Fang Yang and saying, "You... you explain yourself! Not long ago, you had just entered the Void Refinement Realm, so why were you... would someone commit such a thing against you? Didn't you resist?"
"What?" Fang Yang was stunned, his face flushed red with rage, especially when he saw the Han Household all suppressing their laughter, making hissing sounds, which made him even more indignant.
When Fang Yang saw a stunningly beautiful woman in a snow-white dress standing beside the old man of the Han Household, he was visibly shaken and said angrily, "Grandpa, how... how can you wrong Yang'er like this? Yang'er wasn't violated, it's just..."
As he spoke, Fang Yang recounted in detail how Yang Zhen had stabbed his buttocks with a mud snake, and said viciously, "Now that brat from the Yang Household dares to boast that he wants to come to my Fang Household! Grandpa, you must tear him to pieces, otherwise Yang'er will not be able to quell the hatred in his heart."
Old Man Fang stared intently at Fang Yang with a look of surprise and uncertainty, and said, "Is that young man really only at the Void Refinement Realm stage?"
As they spoke, Old Fang and Old Han exchanged a glance, then turned to Shan Yang and asked, "Where is he now?"
A hint of humiliation flashed across Shan Yang's face as he said, "He truly is at the Void Refinement Realm stage, but he seems to possess an extremely strange and powerful martial skill. Even Uncle Quan was controlled by him and couldn't move at all; otherwise, we would have torn him to pieces long ago."
Upon hearing this, Old Man Fang took a deep breath, a look of surprise and delight flashing across his face. He asked, "An extremely strange martial art, is it those earth snakes you mentioned?"
Upon hearing the words "earth snake," Shan Yang quickly tightened his legs and nodded, saying, "Exactly! If I'm not mistaken, that martial art is at least Saint-level, or even higher!"
This time, not only Old Man Fang, but even Old Man Han showed a hint of surprise, turning to exchange a glance with the pretty young girl from the Han Household.
The stunningly beautiful woman in white was no more than twenty years old, yet she possessed exquisite and refined features. In particular, her pair of bright, expressive eyes seemed to speak volumes, and her thin, cherry-like lips resembled ripe cherries, making one's mouth water.
Upon hearing Shan Yang's words, a glint of light flashed in the woman's eyes, revealing a hint of interest and a desire to test her skills against Yang Zhen, whom Shan Yang had mentioned—a true martial arts fanatic.
At this moment, Shan Yang continued, "That brat surnamed Yang is currently enjoying tea with Uncle Quan in the waiting room, looking arrogant and clearly not taking you, Grandpa, seriously at all."
Old Man Fang snorted coldly and raised his hand, saying, "Guards! Bring that lawless brat up here. I'd like to see what kind of master's disciple he is, daring to cause trouble in my Fang family of Fang Household Hanwu City!"
Someone took the order and left. Shan Yang suddenly spoke up, "By the way, Grandpa, Yang Hongye and Aunt Lian also came back with that brat surnamed Yang. They must be feeling very confident."
"Hmm?" A hint of doubt flashed in Old Man Han's eyes as he said, "Didn't the Yang Household family go to the Great Jiang Kingdom to pay homage to the mountain? How come Miss Yang Household is with that young man surnamed Yang?"
A hint of unease flashed in Old Fang's eyes, but he chuckled and explained, "Perhaps he had something to do and came back with that young man."
Old Man Han nodded, a smile appearing on his face, and said, "It is said that the calligraphy treasure of the Yang Household contains an extremely powerful inscription martial art, but it is difficult to comprehend it. In the past, Old Man Yang once asked me to try to understand it, but my comprehension is limited, and I was unable to comprehend it. Now I hear that you, Old Man Fang, are discussing the sale of the calligraphy treasure with the Yang Household. Has there been any progress?"
A shadow crossed Old Fang's eyes, and he shook his head with a smile, saying, "Brother Han, you are mistaken. Old Yang was such a stubborn man back then. Now that he's passed away, how could his descendants so easily sever ties?"
Old Han laughed heartily and said, "In that case, it's true that I won't easily part with it."
"That old man Yang actually invited you, Brother Han, to study that calligraphy?" Old man Fang asked, his eyes gleaming, clearly unaware of this matter.
Old Han, unsuspecting, said, "That was many years ago. I've long forgotten what that calligraphy gave me. It's just a pity that if I could see it again in my lifetime, it would be a worthwhile experience."
Old Fang laughed heartily, shaking his head as he said, "This matter is not difficult. Brother Han, you can work with me to persuade the Yang Household girl. Once the Fang Household obtains that calligraphy, we will let you study it thoroughly. However, I will be setting off for North Isle in two days, so we need to hurry up with this matter."
A glint of light flashed in Old Man Han's eyes, and he nodded, saying, "In that case, let's see what Miss Yang Household has to say."
As the two were talking, a series of shouts came from outside the door, startling everyone, who all looked up in surprise.
At the entrance, a young man dressed in brocade robes strode in, but he had a somewhat arrogant look on his face. He looked around without any manners and was stopped and reprimanded by the Fang Household members.
As everyone could see, the young man was dressed in fine clothes, wearing a snow-white sable fur coat, a fur hat, and holding a huge jade ruyi in his hand; he was truly a handsome young man.
Old Man Han paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "What a handsome young man!"
A strange light flashed in the eyes of the stunningly beautiful woman from the Han Household. Her gaze was intense, and her hand was already on the hilt of her sword. Her bright, lively eyes sparkled as she looked at Yang Zhen who was approaching, eager to try her luck.
Old Man Han chuckled and said, " Yan'er, such a talented young man shouldn't always be thinking about fighting and killing others. Making friends would be a good thing too."
Han Yan'er chuckled softly upon hearing this, a hint of arrogance playing on her lips, before quickly regaining her composure and nodding, saying, "Yes, Yan'er understands."
Even so, Han Yan'er's gaze towards Yang Zhen was still full of fighting spirit.
As soon as Yang Zhen entered, he spotted Han Yan'er in the crowd. He couldn't help it; the fighting spirit emanating from this woman was simply too strong, which puzzled Yang Zhen. Looking at her luxurious clothes, he muttered to himself, "Could this girl be resentful of the rich?"
After saying that, Yang Zhen said with some annoyance, "I should have known better than to buy such expensive clothes. Damn it, Fang Quan didn't seem to care at all. It was only after eating a few pieces of Jade Lingzhi that he started to feel a little pain. These ridiculous clothes are really uncomfortable to wear."
Seeing Yang Zhen approach, Fang Yang, who was standing awkwardly to the side, suddenly revealed a strong murderous intent. He pointed at Yang Zhen and was about to speak when Old Man Fang stopped him with a heavy cough.
Fang Yang's expression hardened, and he looked at Old Man Fang with a blank expression, seemingly not understanding why Old Man Fang wouldn't let him capture Yang Zhen.
Old Fang ignored Fang Yang, a playful glint in his eyes, and looked at Yang Hongye, saying, " Yang Household girl, I once told you I would offer to buy your calligraphy. What have you thought about it?"
Hearing this, Old Man Han was taken aback and looked at Old Man Fang in confusion. Shouldn't this be discussed with Yang Hongye's father?
Upon hearing this, a flash of anger crossed Yang Hongye's face, but she turned to look at Yang Zhen, sighed, and asked, "How many crystals is the Fang Household willing to offer?"
What?
Everyone present was shocked to hear this; no one had expected Yang Hongye to agree.
The Fang Household, especially those who knew the inside story, were all completely bewildered.
The calligraphy that the Yang Household would rather lose everything than part with, is now being so easily agreed to by Yang Hongye?
Old Fang was equally surprised that Yang Hongye agreed so readily. He laughed heartily and was about to speak when a surprised voice rang out in the reception room.
"Why do you say that, cousin? Didn't you promise to sell that calligraphy to me?"
