Martial Arts Becomes Invincible Starting from the Golden Body

Chapter 22 It's Hard to Be a Corrupt Official
刘府
"why?"

The Liu family father and son said in unison.

Fang Chen looked at them and knew that he would not be able to dispel their thoughts if he did not explain things clearly, so he simply did not hesitate to tell them the whole story.

After hearing this, the father and son sighed, with disappointment that could not be concealed on their faces.

They didn't care when they heard that there was a conspiracy in the matter of the spotted jade tiger. After all, any discerning person could see through the news at a glance.

But you have to go even if there is a problem. Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, it is worth a gamble. Most people think this way.

But after hearing that it was impossible for the spotted jade tiger to exist in Liuyin Mountains, they completely gave up.

Fang Chen felt relieved when he saw their expressions. In order to gain their trust, he told them about the matter involving the city lord.

This is also the reason why the Liu father and son believed it so easily. After all, it was said by Li Guiyuan, and it involved City Lord Shangguan, so there must be no mistake.

As for the possibility that Fang Chen deceived them, it was too low. As he said, practicing the first level of strength was not difficult for people with superior physique, and Fang Chen had no need to do so.

Moreover, he came here specifically to inform the two of us, just for this friendship...

The father and son looked at each other, and Liu Yuan understood. He clasped his fists and thanked him, "Thanks to you, Junior Brother, for coming all the way to remind us."

As he said this, he took Fang Chen in his arms and said enthusiastically, "Come, come, come, to show our gratitude, Senior Brother is hosting today. We won't go to Tianxianglou. Just let the servants prepare some home-cooked dishes. Junior Brother, you must give me this face."

"Otherwise, I will feel really guilty!" Liu Yuan said with a guilty look on his face.

"This……"

Finally, Fang Chen couldn't refuse and met with the main figures of the Liu family and had dinner with them.

The Liu family was not large, and Liu Mingzhen only married one wife, a plump and beautiful woman. He did not take a concubine, so by Liu Yuan's generation, he was the only head of the family.

Liu Yuan has two uncles. Fang Chen met his second uncle, a middle-aged man with a mustache. He never met his third uncle because he was not in the city.

This dinner was a great success for both the host and the guests. Everyone gave Fang Chen face, and the atmosphere in the Liu family was pretty good. At least he didn't notice anything dirty on the surface.

After the banquet, Fang Chen rested in the tea room for a while and prepared to leave.

At this time, Liu Yuan walked over quickly, took out a silver note from his sleeve and handed it over.

"Thanks to Junior Brother's reminder today, my Liu family is grateful. Junior Brother will definitely accept this small gift!"

Fang Chen looked at the words "one hundred taels" written on it and his eyelids twitched immediately. Another time?
Somehow, he suddenly felt like he was committing corruption and bribery.

"Junior brother! Junior brother? What's wrong with you?"

While he was in a daze, Liu Yuan waved his hand and shouted.

"Uh... no need! No!" Fang Chen waved his hands repeatedly.

Seeing Fang Chen's avoidance like the plague, Liu Yuan was confused. When did his junior brother become so stubborn about money?
"My dear nephew, please accept it, otherwise your uncle will feel uneasy!" Liu Mingzhen also came over and supported.

"You don't accept it, but you think the money is too little?" He frowned again.

"Alas, I hope my dear nephew doesn't mind. My Liu family is having a hard time lately!" He let out a long sigh.

Fang Chen smiled bitterly. You guys don’t understand the difficulties of collecting money!

These two people probably don't know that Li Zhong has been courting him recently, but if they knew, Fang Chen probably wouldn't turn hostile. Instead, he would increase his investment!
"I have really become a popular person now."

Fang Chen sighed, looking at the banknote Liu Yuan handed over and the two people's burning gazes. He didn't know whether to accept it or not.

After thinking for a moment, he made up his mind and took the banknote.

Unlike the time with Li Zhong, he really needed the money last time. Li Zhong really hit his heart, and he couldn't control his hands. "Actually, I wanted to get it for free."

Fang Chen really hoped that Li Zhong was an arrogant and domineering playboy who liked to throw money at people. It would be best if he could insult and step on him a few times, so that he would feel at ease taking the money.

But the result was just the opposite. This guy was too flattering and liked to be the Good Fortune Boy. It seemed that he had no intention of being his enemy at all.

According to the novels in my previous life, shouldn't Li Zhong be a minor villain in the early stage? I am a genius who has not grown up yet, why do you take me so seriously?

The Liu family father and son naturally had no idea of ​​Fang Chen’s complicated feelings. After seeing him accept the banknote, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Mingzhen has been in Tongcheng for so many years, and he knows some secrets.

It is said that Li Guiyuan, the owner of Liyang Martial Arts School, is a person who cares a lot about face and reputation. This is the public's impression of him.

Liu Mingzhen also knew something different. Li Guiyuan was a nice person, but he was extremely conceited and looked down on others. He didn't even speak kindly to the city lord Shangguan Hong, and even scolded him in public as worse than shit and a mediocre person.

Of course, there was no way such a thing could be spread out, and no one would dare to gossip about it.

Shangguan Hong is also famous for being petty!
From this we can see what kind of person Li Guiyuan is. He appears gentle on the outside, but he won’t say a word to anyone he looks down upon.

Among so many disciples of Liyang Martial Arts School, few have ever seen him, which is irrefutable evidence!

Fang Chen can get information from him and make him tell the secrets concerning Shangguan Hong.

In Liu Mingzhen's eyes, this is very impressive. This means that this boy must have caught Li Guiyuan's eye, otherwise that person would not even bother with him!

Maybe this old man is really planning to accept Fang Chen as his disciple!

Liu Mingzhen held this idea.

Li Guiyuan is the only one in Tongcheng who has the highest standards. If someone with superior aptitude had appeared in one of the other families, they would have treated him as a treasure. Only Li Guiyuan doesn't take it seriously.

"It seems that this caused a joke a few years ago..."

Thinking of what happened a few years ago, Liu Mingzhen couldn't help but look a little strange.

After getting the money, Fang Chen finally got out of the Liu family smoothly.

It was already late, so Fang Chen brought some snacks to the little girl on the roadside and went straight home.

……

“《Gathering Qi》…”

At night, Fang Chen lit an oil lamp and flipped through the booklet in his hand.

After knowing about the aura, Fang Chen paid more attention to this aspect. Otherwise, as he became stronger and stronger, wouldn’t he become a big light bulb in the eyes of other strong people?
Li Guiyuan has no bad intentions, but the same may not be true for others.

It is imperative to learn to restrain your anger!

After reading it, Fang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Just as Li Guiyuan said, this was just a little trick about breath. It was not difficult to learn as long as you knew it.

Subtly mobilizing the Qi and blood, Fang Chen tried hard to control the breath according to the tips in "Condensing Qi".

He couldn't control Qi alone now, but he could find a way around it by controlling the combination of Qi and blood and thus restraining the Qi. This booklet mainly recorded knowledge in this regard.

It has to be said that Li Guiyuan's interpretation of aura really opened his eyes.

Soon, Fang Chen finished mobilizing his Qi and blood. Although there was no change on his body, he knew that he had succeeded.

This is the importance of good talent. It is not easy for ordinary people to finely mobilize their qi and blood, but people with superior bones can easily control their strength.
