Nine secrets to cover the sky

Chapter 24
Fang Jie returned after recovering from his injury, walked into the hall as an outsider and took a seat.He was the only guest who was at the same table with Cui's family among thousands of people present.

Although after that, a large group of envious eyes accompanied him all the time, but unfortunately, Fourth Master Cui, who had regained his previous state, did not talk to him again. The whole process was basically the sixth concubine's room. When chatting with him, most of them are trivial and meaningless topics.

More than two hours passed like this.The sky, which was originally bright and sunny, was suddenly covered with dark clouds.It was not surprising that the guests who were born and bred in the area stood up and left the table, and left in the respect of the younger generation of the Cui family.Although Fang Jie had long known that it was rainy in the north, it was the first time he realized that the weather here was so sudden, and then he stood up consciously to say goodbye to Fourth Master Cui, and left after receiving a nod from the other party.

In stark contrast to when he came, when he walked out of Bichun Garden with Xia Chaochen and Gao Cang, he was accosted by many people.And I was fortunate enough to see him show off and strike up a conversation with those who are sitting in the eighteen seats of the hall.Basically, he has been surrounded all the way, and his performance is also very decent, chatting and laughing with these people with a calm expression.He showed neither fear nor ostentation, which made the other local heroes who were not aware of the situation very surprised after seeing it, and asked who this young man was.

"Young master, this time you'll give those gossiping guys a good slap." On the way, Gao Cang felt elated.

Xia Chaochen, on the other hand, seemed much calmer.He was silent for a while, and then asked, "Fourth Master Cui, what did you say to you?"

"Nothing else, but when I was leaving, Fourth Master Cui's concubine told me that he would come to the family banquet three days later, which seemed to be the intention of Fourth Master Cui." Fang Jie replied.He looked up at the dark clouds in the sky, and suddenly looked forward to the coming storm.

Xia Chaochen frowned and said, "If Li Mang is also invited, then it must be about the concentrate mining rights, and it will be the final battle over who will win the prize."

Fang Jie smiled lightly.

"We already have the upper hand, and together with holding Li Qingyang so that Li Mang can't play tricks behind his back, then our odds of winning will always be maintained. But, if we say that we are completely sure of winning, are you really sure?" Xia Chaochen said. After thinking about it, he finally asked.

"Well, after three days, just wait and see." Fang Jie didn't answer directly.But no matter what he said or that smile, he was quite confident.

He thought of the brief contact with Fourth Master Cui today. Although he didn't have much conversation, he actually gained a lot.At least, from before and after the turmoil caused by Feihuang, he has already seen the character of Fourth Master Cui.And with this vital understanding, it is enough for him to analyze and get a good idea.

Although Xia Chaochen didn't get the answer, but looking at Fang Jie's appearance, he recalled a series of changes since he started practicing martial arts, and knew that this guy who had suddenly become mature for no reason seemed to never fight uncertain battles , so no more questions.

Fang Jie suddenly thought of Gao Yang, so he asked Gao Cang, "By the way, Uncle Gao, where is your daughter?"

"She was adopted as a grandson by Fourth Master Cui when she was 17 years old, and she has basically lived in Cui's house since then." Gao Cang replied.There was some pride in his tone.

Fang Jie nodded with a smile and said nothing more.

Before the heavy rain fell, the three hurried back to the yard.Fang Jie went to his room, while Gao Cang and Xia Chaochen sat down in the living room.

Gao Cang grinned and laughed for a while, and then said: "The day I first came to Yangcheng, the boss of the Li family gave the young master a big blow, but the young master endured it. At that time, I just thought that the young master was taking care of the overall situation, but I didn't expect that he was actually not I didn't swallow this breath, just a few days later, I found an opportunity to show color, and beat the boss of the Li family like a pig's head, it was really ruthless at that time."

"En." Xia Chaochen rarely showed a smile, "Don't look at Fang Jie who usually smiles at everyone, in fact, he is a person who must report his flaws. Whoever provokes him will definitely have no good end. A Li Qingyang , a Li Yuheng, these are living examples."

Gao Cang gloated and nodded, suddenly remembered something, stared at Xia Chaochen with a sneer and said, "You told me before that the Young Master's family didn't practice martial arts, and with the matter of the Li family brothers, I understand, you guys are actually You lied to me. Tell me, why did you lie to me? What are your intentions?"

"I didn't lie to you." Xia Chaochen glanced at him, and said indifferently: "Fang Jie did not practice martial arts much before."

"What do you mean?" Gao Cang was confused.

"You still don't understand?" Xia Chaochen said weakly.Seeing that Gao Cang was still puzzled, he said, "Your daughter Yang Yang started her journey at the age of 15 and reached the aura level at the age of 19. She is already a genius, but compared to Fang Jie, that is really nothing. Therefore, it took Fang Jie less than two months to go from the iron-bone state of the physique stage to the stellar energy stage of the air field stage. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Two months?" Gao Cang's eyes widened.

After saying this, Xia Chaochen couldn't help expressing his emotions, "Young people nowadays are really better than each other..."

Gao Cang sighed in shock for a while, then suddenly rolled his eyes, touched Xia Chaochen's shoulder, winked and said in a low voice: "Just now on the road, the Young Master asked about Yang Yang, based on what you know about the Young Master, is he right? Our family, Yangyang, fell in love at first sight, is that so interesting?"

Xia Chaochen looked at him strangely, and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"Hey." Gao Cang smiled ambiguously, "Since both of them are talented, and they look like a good match. Or, let's find a chance to match them. What do you think?"

"I don't want to get involved in this matter." Xia Chaochen turned his head away.

Gao Cang became anxious, so he started a round of chatter, "You are also an uncle, how can you be so indifferent..."

At the same time, in a certain room of the Li family's well-spoken and generous compound, Li Mang stood with an old pharmacist who had just turned sixty.On the bed in front of him, Li Yuheng had just woken up. It seemed that he had undergone medical treatment, and the swelling had recovered, but the bruises and redness hadn't gone away.

"Father?" He was puzzled for a while, then suddenly his expression changed, he straightened up and shouted, "Where is Fang Jie!"

Li Mang, who was still feeling sorry for his son, was furious at this moment, pointed at him and said, "I told you earlier, I told you not to mess with Fang Jie, but you just didn't listen, and ran to give someone a blow. It's all right now, people will take revenge as soon as they find an opportunity, look at your current appearance, and then think about how you are embarrassing me!"

Hearing these words, although Li Yuheng was in a coma at the time, he could still recall that scene.At this time, instead of thinking about it, he gritted his teeth in hatred, "Fang Jie, today's revenge, I will pay you back a hundredfold!"

"What kind of revenge? You ignored your younger brother? Didn't you know that he was still held hostage in the imperial city by the Fang family?" Li Mang was furious when he heard this.

Only then did Li Yuheng realize that he had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly explained: "I mean, wait for him..."

"Okay, okay." Li Mang interrupted impatiently, and asked directly: "Let me ask you, your strength is obviously higher than Fang Jie, how did you lose?"

"This..." Li Yuheng recalled, recalling his own weakness at that time, he couldn't help saying excitedly: "He must have used some sorcery!"

This made Li Mang frowned in dissatisfaction, "What a monster. I just think it's strange that you lost, but I don't think it's so strange and unbelievable!" Then he pointed to the old pharmacist beside him and said, "This is you, Uncle Murong, You tell him what happened, especially how you felt."

Li Yuheng also wanted to know what happened to him at that time, so he described the situation at that time in detail, without missing any details.

After hearing this, the old pharmacist stroked his beard, pondered for a while, and then said: "This matter is indeed a bit strange."

"What do you mean?" Li Mang and his son asked in unison.

The old pharmacist sorted out his words, and said slowly: "According to what my nephew said, the blood is flowing, breathing is difficult, the bones and muscles are weak, the heart stops beating, and the whole body is cold. These are the manifestations of the weakness of the five elements in the human body. The only thing that can cause this phenomenon is the true energy of the Master of the Five Elements..."

"Fang Jie is a double fate?" The expressions of both father and son changed.

"I haven't finished yet." The old pharmacist glanced at the father and son, and continued: "This is just the result of my guess according to what my nephew said. As for the specific truth, I don't know. Because true energy is different from Stellar Qi, it is an invisible thing, after it exerts its effect, it will disperse without leaving any residue. I didn’t find any clues in my nephew’s body before. At the same time, it can be said that there is no such thing at all, and both situations are possible."

After hearing these words, Li Yuheng was relieved.But his father, Li Mang, was still a little uneasy in his heart - after all, if a dual-fate martial artist grows up, it is definitely not something his Li family can mess with. Now as long as there is such a possibility, his heart cannot be calm.

The old pharmacist said again: "However, there is a way to know the truth, and that is to find a counselor to understand this formula."

"Counselor?" Li Mang nodded heavily, "Okay, I'm going to meet Fang Jie in three days, and then I'll find a counselor to have a look." After finishing speaking, he got up and sent the old pharmacist away, and ordered his servants to take After closing the door, he sat in front of the window again.

Li Yuheng hesitated for a while, but finally asked: "Father, are you going to meet Fang Jie in three days?"

"En." Li Mang glanced at him and saw through his thoughts, and immediately said: "I'll go by myself, you are recuperating at home, no one else will follow."

"Father..." Li Yuheng became anxious immediately.

However, Li Mang slapped the table angrily, and said angrily: "Your brother kidnapped Fang Jie, which made our Li family look down upon by our colleagues, and the killer attack later caused our family's dark forces to lose a large number of elites. Being detained, we have nothing to do with the other party's family. This situation has already lost the advantage of the geographical advantage, but today you let Fang Jie show off in front of Fourth Master Cui and leave a good impression. Do you know what this means? What are you doing? You still want to join in now, do you think you didn't cause me enough trouble?"

Hearing this, Li Yuheng knew he was wrong, and opened his mouth to defend himself, but in the end, he still couldn't say anything.

Li Mang, who was still angry, walked away. After being woken up by the cold wind outside, looking at the dark and gloomy sky, he had to think about how to deal with the upcoming final competition.
