No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 676 I will just collect the clothes, you guys continue [ask for monthly tickets! ]

"Hey, where's the young master?"

As soon as Fang Shengnan returned to the quiet courtyard, she went to the kitchen to get a hot towel and wiped her face and wet hair.

During this time, he looked around the courtyard and asked curiously.

Fang raised his sleeves and walked out of the house:
"That Madam Pei took her shopping again."

"shop?"

Fang Shengnan looked at the dark clouded sky curiously.

"It looks like it's going to rain, why are we going shopping today?"

Fang raised his sleeves and thought:
"Maybe we can come back before it rains. Wait a little longer."

Fang Shengnan couldn't help but mutter:
"I don't know what this Madam Pei is thinking. Not only does she help her lover to support his lover, but she is also so enthusiastic in helping him and eating and using her things... I can't stand it if it were me."

Fang raised his sleeves and said softly:

"If a young lady says something, she will get jealous, but if a young lady says something, she won't. You will understand in the future."

"How come sister knows so much?"

Fang raised his sleeves and shook his head without answering.

Fang Shengnan's face became more and more curious, as if she had thought of something, her eyes lit up, and then she immediately switched back to a serious expression, leaned close to her sister, and asked in a low voice:

"Sister, tell me, is it because Brother Ouyang is really that good, so energetic, that he convinced this Mrs. Pei and made her obey him? But, isn't it said that women are like wolves at 30, tigers at 40, and can absorb anything at 50...

"This Madam Pei is probably about the same. Brother Ouyang is so young and frail, is he really so fierce? Actually, sister, I have already noticed this. Do you know when? I am sure I am not mistaken. Last time, he was sneaking around with the young lady... mmm."

Fang Juxiu covered his sister's mumbling mouth with his sleeves, bent his fingers and tapped her on the forehead with a chestnut.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If you keep gossiping about me behind my back, I'll tear your mouth off."

Fang Shengnan still said stubbornly: "That's right, it's just that you sleep so deeply..."

"Okay, let's get down to business."

Fang raised his sleeves and waved his hands, holding his forehead with some helplessness and said:

"Has the stuff been delivered?"

"Yes, it was sent to that senior, but this One Finger Master is really quiet."

Fang Juxiu's eyes narrowed slightly:
"What do you know? That's probably the Zen of silence. If you don't understand the truth, you can't speak."

Fang Shengnan's face became more and more curious, and she asked:

"Master Yizhi is so powerful, why does he need to keep silent to understand the truth? What truth is he understanding? I see Master Yizhi explaining Zen to bewildered donors every day. Shouldn't he have attained enlightenment?"

"It's harder to save yourself than to save others. This has always been the case..." Fang Juxiu shook his head: "Okay, stop guessing. This kind of thing about masters is not something we can comprehend."

"Ok."

Fang Shengnan touched her chin and said to herself:
"Sister, who do you think is more powerful, Master Yizhi or our father? If he is compared with the Second Lady, how powerful can he be..."

The more Fang Juxiu listened, the more his eyelids twitched. He interrupted:
"Okay, stop imagining it, it's broad daylight. Shengnan, there's something odd in the reply from Er Nujun today, did you notice it?"

"What's so strange? I didn't understand a lot of what you said, what is Meng Yuan... Could it be that sister understands? Tell me quickly."

“I don’t understand either, but that’s not what I’m talking about.”

Fang raised his sleeves and looked into the distance at the dark clouds, his brows furrowed:

"The Second Lady told my lady in her letter that she should try her best to break through before the Donglin Buddha falls to the ground. What does this mean? Before the Buddha falls to the ground...

"But shouldn't the ladies and the others try their best to stop the Buddha from falling to the ground, just like they did last time at Xingzi Lake? So why don't they say that they should break through before Jianze can stop them?"

"Eh, that seems to be the case. What does Second Lady mean by this..."

Fang raised his sleeves suddenly straight in front of his mouth:

"Shh, don't talk!"

"What..." Fang Shengnan paused, lowered her voice, and squeezed out two words: "...what's wrong?"

I saw Fang Juxiu squatting down with her palms spread out, as if touching the ground, but also as if not touching it. She closed her eyes, as if feeling something.

When Fang Shengnan was confused,
"Boom."

There was a rumbling sound of spring thunder in the sky.

The two girls couldn't help but look up.

Large black clouds and a blue-gray sky began to drop sparse raindrops.

At first it was just one drop, then two drops, and then more and more.

Spring rain is like this, it will get heavier and heavier and cannot be stopped.

Fang Shengnan, who was in the courtyard, immediately turned around and hid under the eaves, only to find that her sister was still there.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

Fang Juxiu's brows furrowed more and more. He glanced at the thunderstorm above his head, hesitated for a moment, then stood up and walked under the eaves.

She frowned and said:
"The ground was shaking just now, as if a large number of people were moving, not far from us... but now we can't hear it anymore."

"Are they the policemen patrolling the streets?"

Fang raised his sleeves and shook his head without saying anything.

Fang Shengnan thought for a moment, her eyes sparkling: "Sister, you also have this trick, can you detect the movement on the ground?"

"Dad taught me."

"Daddy is indeed an expert, but why doesn't he teach me? Well, he actually kept it for himself. He is so partial. I will tell mom when I go back this time that he hid the private money..."

Fang Juxiu couldn't help but glance at Fang Shengnan who was waving her fists. She didn't tell her sister that when her father taught her this trick, he repeatedly told her to run away immediately and quickly when she heard such noise.

Because this is probably the sound that people in the martial arts world least want to hear... the movement of the cavalry formation.

Just as Fang Juxiu frowned and thought rapidly.

"Dong dong dong."

Someone knocked on the gate.

Fang Juxiu turned his head in shock.

Fang Shengnan didn't know her sister was worried, so she asked casually, "Who is it? The door is not locked."

Fang Juxiu wanted to cover her mouth, but it was too late.

"Dong dong dong."

The person knocking on the door was still knocking and didn't push it open.

Fang Juxiu frowned.

Fang Shengnan looked at her sister, took the initiative to step forward, and came to the gate of the courtyard in the rain.

She opened the gate from the inside.

An unexpected figure of the two women appeared in the rain at the door.

A middle-aged man with a square face wearing a clerk's uniform.

"Dad?" "Dad!"

After Fang Juxiu and Fang Shengnan saw the face of the person coming in the rain, they were both surprised and spoke.

Fang Yiwu, the head of the Xunyang Fang family, stood alone outside the courtyard gate with empty hands and a stern face.

His temples were wet and his forehead was covered with water droplets. It was unclear whether he was wet because he did not bring an umbrella, or because of his own sweat.

Fang Shengnan immediately took two steps back and said with a guilty conscience:

"Dad, why are you here?"

Fang Yiwu ignored him and strode into the room with his head down.

Following the look from her sister who had quickly calmed down, Fang Shengnan turned around and closed the gate.

A father and two daughters came to the lobby.

Fang Yiwu first looked around and took a deep breath.

Before he could speak, Fang raised his sleeves and brought a bowl of hot tea, lowering his brows and handing it to him:
"Daddy knows everything. Did Master Yizhi tell you?"

Fang Yiwu waved his hand, and the tea fell to the ground with a "pa" and shattered into pieces.

"Who told you to steal my things and run away? You even dared to go find Master Yizhi and come back without telling me. Are you two girls going to die?!"

Fang raised his sleeves, lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Fang Shengnan was silent as a cicada, holding the sword tightly in her arms.

Fang Yiwu became furious when he saw his second daughter's sword. He snatched it from her arms and was so angry that he wanted to break it with his bare hands.

Fang Juxiu said at this time: "Dad, this is the young master's yard, it's better for us not to destroy it..."

Fang Yiwu held back his anger, his square face flushed purple:
"You guys, you've caused a big disaster! Where is that young lady? Where is she?"

Fang Shengnan whispered:
"Don't be afraid, Dad. The Second Lady has made arrangements. The letter says that our Fang family can evacuate early. Before Jianze and the heroes of Tiannan take action, we should temporarily evacuate Xunyang. Anyway, our family lives in the suburbs and we don't need to go through the city gates. We can leave at any time. When the time comes, we can say that the whole family is going to Yangzhou for a trip..."

Fang Yiwu was stunned for a moment, then he flew into a rage:
"I'll swim your head!"

After saying that, he raised the sword in his hand high, and angrily smashed the sword and scabbard at Fang Shengnan's head.

The latter was so frightened that he stood there.

Ms. Fang, who is carefree and full of justice in front of outsiders, feels like she has met her nemesis when she meets Fang Yiwu. She no longer has the fierceness she showed in front of Ouyang Rong.

"Daddy, calm down."

Fang Yiwu found that his hand stopped in mid-air. He turned around and saw Fang Juxiu grabbing the scabbard and blocking it for his sister.

Fang Juxiu pleaded for mercy, and then lowered his voice and said:

"Dad, we have caused a big disaster, and we may have implicated you, but now that things have come to this, it is useless to say anything else. There is no way out. Moreover, my sister and I have been with the young master for so long, and we are more like accomplices than partners. We can only continue to protect the young master, stand by Jianze, and continue on this path.

"And... and we have already received confirmation from the Second Lady. After this incident, my sister and I can directly enter Jianze and become the one and only Yue women. Jianze has also agreed to protect our Fang family in the next turmoil. Dad, this is Jianze's promise, you know how important it is."

Fang Juxiu said this calmly under his father's wide eyes:

"Sometimes, great disasters can also be great blessings. In peaceful times, the Yue women are like dragons that are hard to find. How can we have such an opportunity to join Yunmeng Jianze? Isn't this what we sisters dreamed of when you told us stories about the martial arts world when we were little?"

"You, you two evil beasts..."

Without waiting for Fang Yiwu to finish speaking, Fang Shengnan, who had been keeping her head down and admitting her guilt and the beating, suddenly waved away her sister's hand.

She grabbed Fang Yiwu's hand, pressed the cold scabbard to her forehead, and helped him press down with her palm:

"Sister, get out of the way, Dad, please hit me, hit me, beat me to death!"

Fang Shengnan tilted her neck up, tears in her eyes:
"Just treat me as someone you picked up, not your own child. Come on, beat me! Beat me to death! But don't move, sister. I dragged her here. Don't blame her. Blame me for instigating her.

"Since you were little, you have been talking about how powerful Yunmeng Sword Lake is, how wonderful Yue women are, and how many miraculous elixirs there are in Yunmeng Lake. Don't think I don't know about my mother's illness. I was at the door that day and heard the doctor say that the medicine that could save her might only be found deep in Yunmeng Lake."

Fang Shengnan became more and more excited as she spoke, stiffening her neck:

"I don't care if daddy is a master or not, or if he has retired from the martial arts world, or if he has retired from the martial arts world, but you clearly know this, but you haven't made any move. My sister and I are unfilial and are the evil beasts you gave birth to, but we are definitely not cowards! We have grown up and can make our own decisions. If you don't go to get the medicine, my sister and I will go. We don't blame you, but you don't have to be mean to us!"

Fang Yiwu's mouth opened wide, his old face flushed red, he raised the sword high in his hand, but never put it down.

Fang Shengnan raised her head, closed her eyes and shed tears, her head against the scabbard, refusing to admit defeat and begging for mercy.

Fang Juxiu lowered his head slightly, looking a little sad. Every family has its own problems.

Just as the three people in the lobby were in a stalemate.

Squeak-!
Someone pushed open the gate and walked in.

"Who?" The three of them turned their heads to look, all with surprised expressions on their faces.

Fang Juxiu subconsciously called out: "Master Ouyang?"

"Good afternoon." Ouyang Rong put away his umbrella, placed the violin case on the counter at the door, and walked leisurely into the lobby.

Fang Shengnan, with red eyes, turned around, turned her back to Ouyang Rong and the door, and secretly wiped away her tears.

Fang Yiwu, who was standing aside, had put down his sword at some point and put his hands behind his back. He looked around, first at the daughters who were calm and composed, then at Ouyang Rong who was walking leisurely, and suddenly his mouth felt dry.

Ouyang Rong asked politely, "I hope I didn't disturb you three."

The Fang sisters found that he looked very calm.

Fang Juxiu shook his head: "No...no."

Fang Shengnan prepared to introduce: "Yes, Mr. Ouyang, this is..."

Ouyang Rong walked straight past them and headed for the clothes drying rack in the backyard. He seemed to have no time to listen and spoke politely:

"It's not a big deal, you guys continue. I'm busy with something nearby. I heard from Shisan Niang that Xiu Niang didn't collect the clothes before she left. I remembered this and came back to collect the clothes. I won't delay you. Just pretend I don't exist. Well, where were you just now? Continue."

The Fang sisters were speechless. Could this continue? Once the emotions of a quarrel were interrupted, it could not be continued.

Behind the two girls, Fang Yiwu lowered his head deeply and did not look at Ouyang Rong.

Ouyang Rong calmly put away the clothes, folded them one by one before the rain got heavier, put them in the embroiderer's room, and then he breathed a sigh of relief after he walked out.

It feels like completing an important mission.

After a while, without even looking at the three people, he came to the gate of the courtyard, picked up the piano case again, and shook off the water droplets on the umbrella, as if the Fang father and daughter did not exist.

The three people in the lobby couldn't help but look sideways. At this time, Ouyang Rong's back paused, without turning back, and suddenly heard a somewhat cold voice:
"Remember, don't make the embroiderer's yard dirty and messy, thank you."

Not knowing to whom he was addressing this, he left the yard.

Fang Shengnan, who originally thought that Brother Ouyang was a good man for coming back to collect the clothes, was immediately furious: "Why do you treat us like three-year-old children?"

Fang Juxiu also frowned as he looked at the lofty figure of Mr. Ouyang.

The two girls didn't see it, but the old father next to them, who was originally intimidating without even getting angry, shuddered on the spot.

Fang Yiwu bent down hastily and used his bare hands to pick up the sharp porcelain pieces that broke into the teacup on the ground, cutting his hands with blood.

The Fang sisters looked at him sideways.
