Chapter 31 Tongcheng Reaction
Shangguanfu

As the residence of the Lord of Tongcheng, this house is built quite low-key. The Lord of Tongcheng, Shangguan Hong, does not like fancy things and is a conservative person.

Of course, in the eyes of the Tongcheng families, his old-fashionedness is secondary, and his pettiness is his biggest characteristic.

If it were Li Guiyuan, he would add two more words: foul mouth!

An old man with gray hair, well-dressed and even his hair combed meticulously, was standing on the garden corridor, looking into the distance.

"Xiao Cao, did you hear that sound just now?" Shangguan Hong said lightly.

"It should be the voice of Pavilion Master Li. Not only did my subordinates hear it, I think half of Tongcheng heard it."

A black-faced man standing behind him answered respectfully.

"Haha, let's go check what could have made this old man so angry?"

Shangguan Hong looked very interested. Ever since that incident forty years ago, the old man had become a turtle, hiding in Tongcheng for forty years without leaving.

"Yes! I'll check it out right away!"

The dark-faced man was about to retreat when Shangguan Hong called him back, "By the way, is there anything unusual in the Liuyin Mountains?"

"It's strange, nothing happened in the past two days, and no one has seen the spotted jade tiger."

Shangguan Hong's mouth twitched. How could he not know whether there was a spotted jade tiger or not?

He was the one who did it personally back then, so he was sure that the spotted jade tiger in the Liuyin Mountains had become extinct, unless someone had released one in there on purpose!
"Well, keep paying attention and don't slack off. There must be something fishy about this matter!" Shangguan Hong said in a deep voice.

After the black-faced man left, Shangguan Hong sighed. He always felt that something was not right in Tongcheng in recent years. A storm was about to come!
Then a fierce look flashed in his eyes. No matter who it is, if they dare to extend their claws to his territory, they must be prepared to have their hands chopped off!

……

In a dark stone chamber, two figures were talking.

"What happened just now? What's wrong with that old guy Li Guiyuan?" one of the middle-aged men asked with a frown.

"Who knows? But don't worry, he's just an old turtle and can't affect the overall situation!" another skinny man chuckled.

"That's better!" the middle-aged man said with a heavy nasal voice.

"Hmph, watch your attitude when you speak. I'm not your servant. You can order me around. At worst, I'll just quit. It won't be a big loss anyway!"

As the skinny man spoke, his smile became even brighter.

The middle-aged man frowned, what a psycho!

He avoided the topic and now was not the time to turn hostile.

"How are the preparations going?" asked the middle-aged man.

"I'll do the work, don't worry!"

The skinny man said confidently: "Also, you need to prepare your chips. They are a bunch of people who won't release their eagles until they see the rabbit!"

The middle-aged man nodded, a look of pain flashed across his face, and he took out a jade box from his arms.

"Take it over and let him smell it first!"

The skinny man took it and opened it. It was empty inside, but there was still a lingering fragrance.

He quickly closed the jade box: "Alright! The dog will only follow if it smells shit!"

He put away the jade box without saying anything else, then opened the stone door and left.

After the skinny man left, a secret door on the other side of the stone chamber opened, and a young and handsome young man walked out. He came to the middle-aged man and asked respectfully:
"Father, is this man trustworthy?"

"Humph, of course it's not worth it. Not a single word he says can be trusted!" said the middle-aged man with narrowed eyes.

"Then?" The young man hesitated.

"Yu'er, remember, it doesn't matter whether you trust him or not. What matters is that this person is quite powerful, and our family is being closely watched, so many things are inconvenient to do. He is worth using!"

"So what if he has ulterior motives? As long as we can achieve our goal, he will be nothing more than a plaything in our hands!" said the middle-aged man confidently.

"Yes, father, I have learned my lesson!"

"Oh, by the way, let's go check what happened in Liyang Martial Arts School today?" the middle-aged man waved his hand.

The young man bowed and left.

"Li Guiyuan..."

The middle-aged man thought, if he was as glorious as he was forty years ago, he would really be a little afraid of him, but now?
It's just a plaything!

Just as the major forces in the city were in turmoil because of Li Guiyuan's angry shout, Fang Chen had already followed him to the back hall. "Chen'er, you did a good job today."

Li Guiyuan's face was full of smiles. When he thought of the shocked looks on the faces of those old guys after today's events were spread, he couldn't help but feel happy.

This is the only hobby he has in this small town!
"Junior Brother Fang is truly a man who never reveals his true colors!" Zhao Yunsheng also sighed from the side.

He was present when his master tested his physique, and thought it was just an ordinary superior physique, so he didn't take it seriously at the time. But today, he was really... surprised!
"Junior brother, what realm are you at now?" Zhao Yunsheng asked.

Just now on the martial arts stage, Fang Chen hardly made any moves, and they did not have the eyesight of Li Guiyuan, so it was naturally difficult for them to see his true realm.

Fang Chen glanced at his master, and after he nodded slightly, he responded, "Let's get started with strength training!"

"Introduction to strength training?!"

Li Zhen and Liu Yong were also shocked. It was not that they felt this realm was too high, but that it was too low!
There is no doubt that Zhou Yang has mastered his strength training. Fang Chen was able to defeat Zhou Yang with ease. In the eyes of several people, he is at least at the same level as Zhou Yang, or even has mastered his strength training to perfection.

Although it was a very shocking thing to break through from an ordinary person to the perfect power in more than two months, they all thought that perhaps the master provided some rare treasures to Fang Chen, which made them barely acceptable.

Xu Yao also thought so, and he cursed them in his heart for wasting resources.

But if Fang Chen was only at the entry level of strength training, then the meaning would be very different.

The combat power between people of the same realm is usually directly linked to their innate physique. Fang Chen was able to achieve this even though his realm was far inferior to Zhou Yang's. This showed that...

“There is a gap between the best!”

Li Zhen and the other two all recalled Fang Chen's previous words in their minds at the same time. They thought that he was saying this to irritate Zhou Yang, but they didn't expect that it would come true!
Is there a difference between superior roots?

Of course!
These people are not newbies in the world of martial arts. They certainly know that there are gaps between superior physiques, and the gap may even be bigger than the gap between inferior and superior physiques!
Let's take the example of natural supernatural powers. The most common one is the strength of an ox. Above that, a few people know about the strength of nine oxen. Can these two be the same?

……

"call!"

The three young men exhaled deeply, contributing their own efforts to warm the world. Li Guiyuan, on the other hand, was calm and collected. He was also shocked, but he didn't say anything.

The three of them looked at each other, still finding it a little hard to accept. In Tongcheng, as long as one had a superior physique, it basically meant that one was invincible in the same realm. How could there be any possibility of being defeated by others?
"Junior brother is really...amazing!" Zhao Yunsheng said with difficulty. If he had such talent, perhaps he would not have been despised by Shi Shi in the first place.

Liu Yong also nodded repeatedly. Li Zhen became much more restrained and has now adjusted himself.

Seeing the three of them like this, Fang Chen smiled shyly and scratched his head.
"Thank you for the praise, brothers!"

Several people laughed secretly when they saw this, thinking that Junior Brother Fang was really... innocent!
"Oh, by the way, I am taking Master as my master, so you brothers don't need to give me gifts, we are all brothers!"

Fang Chen stood up straight and spoke seriously, not noticing the figures slowly solidifying.

Li Zhen, Zhao Yunsheng, Liu Yong: ???

Are you crazy? You actually robbed us.

Fang Chen scratched his head again and looked at them embarrassedly.

Zhao Yunsheng was the first to react. A strange look flashed in his eyes and he laughed, "Haha, of course I have to give this gift. How could I not give it?"

He immediately took out a stack of banknotes from his bosom and stuffed them into Fang Chen's hand. Fang Chen accepted it instantly. The smile on Zhao Yunsheng's face froze a little. "Aren't you polite?"

Although he gave the money sincerely, he was still a little uncomfortable with the strict ethics.

"Ah, no, that's not necessary, senior brother!" Fang Chen also reacted and shouted quickly.

The corner of Zhao Yunsheng's mouth twitched. Can you please take out the banknotes first?

"Big Brother, you don't have to give it to me. You..."

Li Zhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he also took out a few banknotes and handed them to Fang Chen, "Brother Fang, take them! I'm not as rich as you, Brother Zhao, so please don't despise me!"

"No problem, no problem!" Fang Chen accepted it while muttering, no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat!

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Li Zhen nodded helplessly and advised: "Junior brother, don't take these yellow and white things too seriously. These things are real natural treasures and cannot be bought!"

Fang Chen curled his lips slightly. If you don’t want it, then I want it. Now that the second stage talent has been settled, he also needs to start looking forward to the third stage talent, which is a full 100,000 taels of silver!
He immediately looked at Liu Yong: "Senior Brother Liu, you don't have to..."

Before he could finish his words, Liu Yong had already disappeared.

"I don't have any money!"

Fang Chen looked at his disappearing figure and was slightly surprised. Why was he running?

You look so poor, I really don't want to ask you for anything!
