Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little bit every day

In the next few days, Fang Yue and Su Jin began to communicate frequently.

They walked around the courtyard together, admiring the beautiful scenery inside the courtyard, and talking about martial arts and poetry.

Fang Yue was amazed by Su Jin's talent and beauty, but he always remained vigilant and did not completely relax his guard against Su Jin.

One afternoon, the sun shines on the ground through the gaps in the leaves, forming mottled light and shadow.

Fang Yue and Su Jin were sitting in a quiet pavilion, sipping fragrant tea and talking about their respective understandings of martial arts.

"Mr. Fang, what do you think is the essence of martial arts practice?" Su Jin suddenly asked, her eyes flashing with curiosity and expectation.

Fang Yue was stunned for a moment, then pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "In my opinion, the essence of martial arts training lies in the unity of 'mind, skill, and body'.

The heart is the will, and a firm will can make people move forward courageously in cultivation;

Skills refer to martial arts, and superb martial arts can make a person invincible in battle;

The body is the body, and a strong body can allow people to endure more hardships in cultivation. "

After Su Jin heard this, a look of appreciation flashed in her eyes. She chuckled and said, "Young Master Fang really has unique insights. I wonder if you have encountered any difficulties in martial arts training?"

Fang Yue smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "Of course there are problems, but I believe that martial arts practice is like life, full of unknowns and challenges. Only by constantly trying and exploring can we break through ourselves and reach higher levels. realm."

Su Jin nodded thoughtfully when she heard this. She seemed to be touched by Fang Yue's words.

The atmosphere between the two became more and more harmonious, as if they had become close friends.

However, Fang Yue did not forget his purpose.

He was always observing Su Jin secretly, trying to find some clues from her words and actions.

~~~~~~

One night, the moonlight shone like water in the courtyard, and the breeze blew the leaves, making a rustling sound.

Fang Yue and Su Jin walked side by side on the quiet path, their shadows stretched long in the moonlight.

"Miss Su, do you have anything to hide?" Fang Yue asked suddenly, with a hint of concern in his voice.

Su Jin paused, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

She was silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "Young Master Fang, to be honest, I do have some unspeakable past. But this matter involves a wide range of things. If I tell it, I'm afraid it will bring trouble to the Young Master."

When Fang Yue heard this, his heart tightened.

He looked deeply at Su Jin and said firmly: "Miss Su, since you and I are friends, your matters are my matters. No matter what trouble we encounter, I will face it with you."

Su Jin took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and began to slowly describe her past.

She talked about her family, which was once a famous family in Shanyang Mansion, but due to a sudden change, the family suffered a disaster.

Now, she came to Shanyang Mansion just to seek revenge against her enemies.

The implication is that she just wants Fang Yue to help her take revenge.

After Fang Yue heard this, his brows furrowed slightly. Sure enough, this woman had just met her.

However, he still wanted to see what this woman wanted, so he followed the other person's words and continued: "I wonder who the girl's enemy is?"

Su Jin's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a trace of deep hatred: "Master Fang, my enemy is the Lin family, a powerful family in Shanyang Mansion. They used despicable means to destroy my Su family because of a grudge many years ago. The whole family. I, Su Jin, will avenge my family in this life and make the Lin family pay for it with blood!"

Speaking of this, Su Jin became extremely excited and clenched her hands into fists, as if she was trying her best to suppress the anger in her heart.

Lin family!

When Fang Yue heard the word "Lin Family", his heart moved slightly.

He also knew something about the major forces in Shanyang Mansion, and knew that the Lin family was indeed a famous family in Shanyang Mansion, and it was said that they were involved in King Wucheng's rebellion, and later became King Wucheng's powerful generals. , became a major force in Shanyang Mansion.

"Miss Su, your experience is indeed pitiful."

Fang Yue spoke slowly and broke the silence, "It's just that the Lin family is very powerful, so I don't want to mention it again. I will pretend that I don't know about this matter, and please don't be impulsive, girl."

Looking at Su Jin's hateful eyes, Fang Yue was no longer at an impulsive age, and naturally he would not be impulsive just because of the woman's cries.

Now we are in Shanyangfu City, which can be said to be the enemy's base camp, so we must be careful every step of the way.

Besides, Su Jin was just speaking one-sidedly. How could he know that this was not some kind of test.

Therefore, Fang Yue simply refused.

When Su Jin heard Fang Yue's rejection, a trace of disappointment and unwillingness flashed in her eyes.

She didn't seem to expect that Fang Yue would reject her request so directly.

However, she did not give up, but took a deep breath and tried to persuade Fang Yue with a more firm tone.

"Mr. Fang, I know that my request may make you feel embarrassed. But please believe that I am not impulsive, but after careful consideration. The Lin family is very powerful, and I naturally know it. As long as Mr. Fang is willing to help me, then I will Take out the family treasure.”

When Su Jin said this, he paused and seemed to be hesitating whether to continue speaking.

Fang Yue didn't urge him, he just waited quietly for her next step.

After a while, Su Jin finally made up his mind and continued: "As long as Young Master Fang is willing to help me, then I will use the family's treasured secret technique - 'Flowing Cloud Sword Technique' in return.

This set of swordsmanship is the ancestral secret of my Su family. It is extremely powerful. I believe it will also be helpful to the young master’s martial arts training. "

When Fang Yue heard this, his heart moved slightly.

His pursuit of martial arts has never stopped, and the "Flowing Cloud Sword Technique" proposed by Su Jin is obviously a very tempting condition.

However, he was not fooled by this condition, but still maintained a clear mind.

"Miss Su, your conditions are indeed very tempting."

Fang Yue spoke slowly, with a hint of firmness in his voice, "But please forgive me, I cannot agree to your request. It's not that I don't want to help you get revenge, but this matter is of great importance and I need more consideration and time. And , I also have some things of my own to deal with. If there is an opportunity in the future, I may take the initiative to help.”

When Su Jin heard what Fang Yue said, a look of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

She obviously didn't expect that Fang Yue would reject her request so firmly, even if she offered her family's treasured secret skills in exchange.

However, she is also a smart woman and knows that there is no point in continuing to struggle at this time.

So, she took a deep breath and suppressed the disappointment and unwillingness in her heart. The other party smiled slightly and said: "Since Mr. Fang said so, I will not force it anymore. I hope Mr. Fang can remember what he said today. If If we have the chance to meet in the future, I hope we can become true friends.”

Fang Yue also smiled back, nodded and said: "Don't worry, Miss Su, I will naturally remember what you said today. If we have a chance to meet in the future, we will definitely become true friends."

After this time, the two never met again.

Fang Yue also discovered that this woman began to contact other geniuses, or that there was more than one woman like Su Jin in this huge villa.

It seems that this should be some kind of test.

Naturally, it is impossible for King Wu Cheng to recruit talents without any test. It seems that 'this girl' is a test.

~~~~~~

A few days later, night fell, and Fang Yue was practicing in his courtyard with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, he felt an unusual aura approaching quickly. When he opened his eyes, he saw a man in green clothes with a stern face standing in front of him.

"Brother Fang, it's been a long time." The man in Tsing Yi said in a cold tone.

Fang Yue raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't expect to meet this person so soon. It seemed that the man in Tsing Yi was quite powerful in the city and he was able to find him.

He was secretly wary, worried that this was some kind of testing method, so he calmly raised his hands and said, "Who is your Excellency?"

"Brother Fang is really a noble man who forgets things. We have seen him before in Xiahe County." The man in Tsing Yi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, showing a hint of a smile but not a smile.

"This is not the place to talk. How about I host you today and invite Brother Fang to a nice place so we can have a drink and chat?"

The man in Tsing Yi added, and there seemed to be a power in his eyes that was hard to refuse.

"Yes." Fang Yue nodded.

It seemed that he couldn't escape, so he stood up and followed the man in Tsing Yi out of the courtyard and into the city.

The man in Tsing Yi led Fang Yue through the bustling streets of Fucheng and came to a quiet restaurant.

There is an antique plaque hanging in front of the restaurant with the three characters "Tingfeng Tower" written on it.

Fang Yue followed the man in Tsing Yi into the restaurant, and was immediately greeted enthusiastically by the waiter: "Please come in, sir. There is a private room upstairs."

The man in Tsing Yi nodded slightly and led Fang Yue straight to the second floor, arriving in front of an elegantly decorated room.

He opened the door and made a gesture of invitation: "Brother Fang, please."

Fang Yue stepped into the private room and saw that the table was already filled with sumptuous food and wine, and the aroma was fragrant.

He was secretly wary, wondering what the purpose of this man in Tsing Yi was to go to such trouble to invite him.

The man in Tsing Yi seemed to see Fang Yue's doubts. He smiled faintly and explained: "Brother Fang, don't worry too much. I invite you today simply because I want to make friends and have no other intentions. It's still what I said last time. I wonder how Brother Fang is thinking about it?”

When Fang Yue heard this, his heart moved.

He recalled his previous conversation with the Tsing Yi people in Xiahe County, when the Tsing Yi people invited him to plan the Great Dragon Pill together.

Now it seems that the man in Tsing Yi came here to invite him again.

Fang Yue picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip. The aroma of tea overflowed, but it could not hide the deep thoughts in his heart.

He put down his tea cup and spoke slowly: "I have indeed considered your proposal for a long time. It's just that this matter is important and involves my life and fortune, so I have to be cautious."

When the man in green heard this, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. He nodded and said: "What Brother Fang said is absolutely true. This matter is indeed not a trivial matter. If Brother Fang were not such a cautious person, I would not dare to invite you easily."

Fang Yue smiled slightly and said, "Brother, that's a ridiculous compliment. I just have something I don't understand, and I hope you can give me some advice."

"Brother Fang, please speak." The man in Tsing Yi made a gesture of invitation.

"Why did brother choose to cooperate with me? You know, there are many talented people in Shanyang Mansion, and there are many people who are more capable than us." Fang Yue looked directly at the man in Tsing Yi, with a hint of doubt in his tone.

Hearing this, the man in Tsing Yi was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Brother Fang, that's a good question. To be honest, my choice to cooperate with Brother Fang was not an impulse, but a matter of careful consideration."

"Of all the so-called talents in this city, who can compare to Brother Fang!"

Fang Yue was a little surprised by the words of the man in Tsing Yi. He didn't expect that the other party would give him such a high evaluation.

However, he did not become complacent because of this, but still maintained a clear head.

"Brother, thank you for the award." Fang Yue slightly cupped his hands and said humbly, "There are many talented people in Shanyang Mansion, and I, Fang Yue, am just one of them."

Fang Yue did not answer immediately, but took a deep look at the man in Tsing Yi, then picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, as if thinking about something.

The man in Tsing Yi was not in a hurry and waited quietly for Fang Yue's answer.

After a while, Fang Yue put down his tea cup and spoke slowly: "Brother's proposal really makes my heart move. However, this matter is of great importance and I still need some time to think about it. I wonder if brother, can you give me some time?"

Hearing this, the man in Tsing Yi smiled slightly, nodded and said: "As long as Brother Fang thinks about it, I will always be here waiting for your answer. However, I hope Brother Fang can make a decision as soon as possible, because we don't have enough time. ”

Things will change later. I don’t know how many people are secretly making plans for such precious pills as the Great Dragon Pill.

Fang Yue nodded, expressing understanding.

He knew that when the people in Tsing Yi said "there is not enough time", they meant that the planning of the Great Dragon Pill needed to be carried out as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams.

"I will reply to brother as soon as possible." Fang Yue said solemnly.

The man in Tsing Yi nodded, and the two of them did not continue the topic. They began to taste the fine wine and food on the table and chat about some anecdotes about the world.

After drinking for three rounds, the man in Tsing Yi suddenly said: "Brother Fang, to be honest, I came to Shanyang Mansion this time. In addition to discussing important matters with you, I have another thing to do."

When Fang Yue heard this, he was slightly startled, and then asked curiously: "Oh? I wonder what happened that made Xiong take such an interest in it?"

The man in Tsing Yi was silent for a moment, seeming to weigh whether he should tell Fang Yue.

Finally, he took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "To be honest, I have received news that there will be a grand auction in Shanyang Mansion in the near future, and there is one item in it that is extremely important to me."

Fang Yue raised his eyebrows slightly, becoming interested: "Oh? I wonder what it is that makes my brother value it so much?"

A firm look flashed in the eyes of the man in green, and he said solemnly: "It is a thousand-year-old elixir called 'Bixincao'. This herb has special meaning to me, and I must take it." "(End of chapter)
