Chapter 1398 Fairness Must Be Maintained! [Bonus Chapter for motannn, One Drunkenness = A Thousand Sorrows, Two Alliance Leaders]

"You think beautiful!"

Yan Beihan glared at her fiercely: "That would drive the entire righteous sects mad! Get rid of that idea immediately!"

"Hmph... Sigh."

"My parents are both very nice people with good personalities! You can tell they are trying their best to take care of our feelings and emotions."

Yan Beihan said, "That's very obvious. Especially Mother, the way she's afraid of offending her daughter-in-law and running away... a kind of simple and honest feeling comes through. It's so nice! It really feels like coming home."

Bi Yunyan's eyes sparkled with excitement as she said, "Xiao Han, do you know, our mother feels even closer to me than my own mother... At home, my mother is always so elegant and graceful, and she never shows her teeth when she smiles at me, her own daughter... Ah... Look at our mother here, holding my hand and talking to me. The last time my own mother held my hand and talked to me was when I was twelve years old..."

He became somewhat melancholic as he spoke.

Yan Beihan sighed: "A large family... even your mother couldn't do anything about it."

“Yes…that’s why I don’t want to be the first wife!” Bi Yunyan said.

"..."

Yan Beihan was utterly speechless.

After staring blankly for a long time, he said dejectedly, "Go to sleep!"

"Hey hey hey..."

Bi Yunyan, however, was full of energy: "Let's chat for a bit, okay?"

Then, a voice transmission came over repeatedly: "From now on, who will be the primary wife, you or Ye Meng?"

"What if we reunite?"

"Does Ye Meng dare to compete with you?"

"I always feel like you're not very stable either..."

"Tsk tsk, I almost had to offer them tea."

"Xiao Han, do you think you might steal my position? What am I supposed to do if you become the first concubine?"

"..."

Yan Beihan was eventually forced to shut down his six senses and simply went to sleep like a dead person.

I can't stand it!
If it weren't for the fact that it was her first time entering the house and she didn't want to act like the domineering first wife, she would have shown this concubine how a vicious first wife is made!
In Fang Yunzheng and Fang Qianyi's room.

The couple were also talking.

"What do you think of these two girls?" Fang Qianyi stared at the ceiling with her eyes open, not sleepy at all.

"It's fine. What's wrong?"

Fang Laoliu was a little stunned. You can find fault with these two girls? That would be truly strange.

"These two girls... are both incredibly capable."

Fang Qianyi murmured.

"How to say?"

Fang Laoliu perked up: You can't even see through someone's cultivation level, and you don't even know about the Weiwo Zhengjiao, yet you can tell how powerful they are?

"First, let's talk about their appearance; they are all exceptionally beautiful and dignified; this section shows that their parents are outstanding individuals. That's the first point."

Fang Qianyi said, "Let's talk about their clothing and appearance. They're not flashy at all, yet they suit their age perfectly. But can you tell? Their hair looks casual, but it's perfectly styled, without a single stray hair. This shows that they usually dress like this. Don't assume that every woman styles her hair like this; it's different for everyone. Only in families with impeccable upbringing would you see hair like this. It's dignified and elegant, yet it exudes a youthful delicacy and liveliness, and it's perfectly neat. That's the second point."

“Go out onto the street and take a look. Even the daughters of some so-called big families in Bibo City will inevitably have some unruly hair, whether it’s in a braid or a bun.”

"With this head of hair, some hair looks like a woman of the night, some hair looks like a girl from a modest family, some hair looks like a lady from a wealthy family, and some hair looks like someone who doesn't know how to dress up."

Fang Qianyi said, "These are things that only daughters from prominent families would understand; even I only gradually came to understand them after I gave birth to Che'er, read more books, and learned more. But these two girls have already mastered everything so naturally."

Fang Yun was standing there with his mouth open, unable to speak.

I was completely confused.

Lao Tzu, though he may not have seen much or known much in his life, and has a perspective spanning thousands of years, has never paid attention to this!

This is an absolute blind spot for Fang Laoliu!
"Thirdly, it's their aura. They have a cool and unapproachable air, like the bright moon in the sky. Although they didn't show any aloofness at all, and instead kept trying to flatter me, that aura was in their bones."

"A straight spine doesn't mean a flat, javelin-like posture is good manners. Rather, it's the most relaxed posture between straight and not straight, which is the most suitable and noble demeanor for a girl. When looking at sitting posture, the key is the straightness of the waist. The legs should always be together, but not in a restrained or stiff way."

Fang Qianyi glanced at Fang Laoliu and saw that his eyes were red and swollen. She couldn't help but sigh: "The fourth is a smile, so that you can feel that they respect you and treat you as their closest elder, but it can never be said that they are flattering you. It is a natural respect, kindness and intimacy."

"A smile..."

"Walking posture, you know? It should be dignified and graceful, neither coy nor masculine, neither shy like a demure young lady nor like an ordinary girl... and without the slightest hint of coyness. When walking, it should be steady and graceful, with the upper body like still water and the lower body like a boat sailing on a calm sea, with a natural rhythm, the hips not swaying and the chest not trembling; a girl like this will never be able to walk with that kind of swaying hips and seductive, alluring gait."

"This is a truly good girl! Top-notch upbringing!"

"The daughters of the Yan and Bi families are definitely from super families far superior to our Fang family in Bibo City! Because daughters of concubines would not have that kind of confidence, profound knowledge, and refined demeanor."

Fang Qianyi's words left Fang Laoliu speechless.

He truly hadn't expected that his wife could see through so many things!

Moreover, it's clear that Fang Qianyi is extremely satisfied with Yan Beihan and Bi Yunyan, to the point of exceeding expectations.

"Then their conversation and eye contact revealed that these two girls were not simple people; each of them was as cunning as the stars in the sky, especially Xiao Han."

Fang Qianyi said, “Every word you say goes along with me, but you never flatter or fawn over me. Your manners are polite and natural, but never superfluous. When you speak to me, every word you say is just right, making me happy, yet leaving a lingering impression. When you try to get me to start a conversation, you stop talking and then listen to me with a smile. Every nod is perfectly timed during my pauses, but never pretentious.”

"When you talk about matters of the martial world, you can make it sound tense, exciting, and dangerous, yet you can put my mind at ease. My husband, that's a skill in itself."

"She never mentioned Ye Meng in a single sentence, but in every instance, she showed deference, forbearance, and respect for her. She subtly hinted at a harmonious future for us… because this is what I, as a mother, care about most. So she kept reassuring me with this reassurance…"

"Yet in her conversation, she subtly mentioned her abilities and her future ability to take control of the family... making it clear to everyone that she was definitely the future matriarch, without any of that 'feeling of intrigue' that you might find off-putting."

"..."

"This girl is wonderful, truly wonderful! Our Archer is so lucky to have found such a wife; it's like our ancestors burned incense at their graves."

Fang Qianyi talked about Yan Beihan's benefits for a full half hour, then sighed with satisfaction.

"This Yunyan is good. She shows some cunning, but she also clearly demonstrates that she has no ambition in the inner quarters. She is Xiaohan's best assistant. She is a girl you can trust no matter where you are. She may seem a bit carefree, but in reality, all her sense of propriety is hidden in her carefree attitude."

Fang Qianyi said softly, "Of all the women I've ever seen and heard of in my life, these two girls are the first and second best! Absolutely outstanding!"

Fang Laoliu raised an eyebrow: "Then, what about Ye Meng? You speak so highly of Xiao Han and Yun Yan, how can you face Ye Meng?"

Fang Qianyi frowned with worry: "Mengmeng is also a one-in-a-million girl, impeccable in every way; but compared to Xiaohan, she does lack a bit of grandeur and nobility. Moreover, if Mengmeng is in charge of the family in the future, she will definitely not be able to control Ache; basically, Ache will be allowed to do whatever he wants. But if Xiaohan is in charge, although he will never confront Ache, he can still restrict Ache and make him obedient without making a sound."

"Moreover, in terms of future generations, Mengmeng and Archer are the kind of mother who is loving and the father who is strict; Mengmeng is basically the type who spoils her children, but Xiaohan and Archer are the kind of parents who are gentle and nurturing in all aspects. No matter what kind of child she has, there is no need to worry about them. She can teach them to excel in all aspects."

Fang Qianyi sighed deeply: "That's why I'm so conflicted and upset right now. Ache is probably upset too. Mengmeng has been with Ache for so long, how can she let him down? But if Mengmeng is in charge, she's definitely no match for Xiaohan. And how can Xiaohan be in charge and let Mengmeng down?"

Seeing his wife's worried expression, Fang Yun couldn't help but sigh as well.

It must be said that what Fang Qianyi just said was quite comprehensive.

His comments on several girls, in particular, were incredibly insightful.

As someone who knew the inside story, Fang Yunzheng, after considering all aspects, felt more and more that Fang Qianyi's words were absolutely true, a foregone conclusion, and that this was indeed the fact.

Fang Qianyi rarely considers issues in such a comprehensive way.

Seeing how much effort his wife had put into their son's marriage, Fang Yun felt that she had almost used up all her brainpower.

"From now on, let Archer handle it himself. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings."

Fang Yun was comforting his wife.

"Hey……"

Fang Qianyi said, "When I find an opportunity, I will tell Ache that he must not let Mengmeng down. Mengmeng followed him when he was still a nobody. One must never forget one's roots!"

"That's only right," Fang Yunzheng nodded.

Fang Qianyi then said, "...But we can't let Xiao Han down; such a good girl has taken a liking to him, how can we let her down?"

Fang Yun was stunned: "Wife, aren't you being a little unreasonable?"

"That's just how it is! We have to treat everyone fairly!" Fang Qianyi said.

"..."

Fang Yunzheng felt conflicted.

How can a family maintain a fair balance when there is only one principal wife in charge of the household?

"You're going to put your son in a really difficult position."

"But as a mother-in-law, this is all I can ask for."

Fang Qianyi said softly, "Because we are Mengmeng's last resort, we absolutely cannot give in to this. If we give in, how heartbroken Mengmeng will be for the rest of her life."

Fang Yunzheng sighed softly and nodded.

Fang Qianyi makes a good point.

But Fang Che's domestic affairs are indeed a difficult situation...

Now they are separated into two places, one home in the Guardians and the other in the Sovereign Church, which is manageable.

But what if one day in the future there is peace in the world, everything is perfectly resolved, and the war of the gods is successfully over...?

It has to be said that when Fang Yunzheng thought about the final battle of the gods, a shadow suddenly rose in his heart, and he sighed softly, "Well... let's talk about it later, let's take it one step at a time."

Although Fang Yunzheng was incredibly audacious, he truly had no confidence that humanity could win the war of gods!

I guess... the most likely outcome is that no one will live to see that day... right?

That way, my son won't have to worry anymore...

As for myself...

Fang Yunzheng rested his hands behind his head, staring intently at the ceiling, a resolute look in his eyes.

Me? Of course I'll die before my son!

"As long as I'm alive, even the gods can't touch my son!" Fang Qianyi murmured. "I can only take it one step at a time... But I have to say, I really love these two girls. They have great personalities, are beautiful, have great temperaments, and are sensible... They're so wonderful..."

……

The next morning.

Fang Che woke up feeling refreshed and full of energy.

Turning his head, he saw that Bi Yunyan had also gotten up. It was quite strange, as Yan Beihan, who always went to bed early and got up early, was still sleeping peacefully.

“Hehe…” Bi Yunyan blinked: “The First Wife got annoyed chatting with me last night, so she shut down her six senses…hehehe…”

"You're really something!"

Fang Che rolled his eyes, speechless.

“She doesn’t know anything right now… Do you want to do something?” Bi Yunyan urged.

"Forget it then."

Fang Che felt a little apprehensive. If he really did something, Yan Beihan would probably hold a grudge against him for the rest of his life once he woke up.

Moreover, despite Bi Yunyan's encouragement, if Yan Beihan really wanted to do something, Bi Yunyan would not agree and would wake him up immediately.

This girl is just digging a hole and causing trouble.

So Fang Che grabbed Bi Yunyan, pressed her onto his knees, and slapped her buttocks a few times.

Amidst Bi Yunyan's screams, Fang Che's spiritual power surged, waking Yan Beihan.

Yan Beihan had just woken up when he heard Bi Yunyan scream. Still sleepy, he asked curiously, "What happened?"

“Yunyan encouraged me to do something while your six senses were closed... How could your husband be such a despicable person? So I punished this girl.”

Fang Che sold Bi Yunyan out without even blinking.

“Patriarch!!”

Bi Yunyan's eyes widened in disbelief, and she said with grief and indignation, "You!...You betrayed me..."

But Yan Beihan had already lashed out: "You, Bi Yunyan!"

Her face instantly turned fierce, and she grabbed Bi Yunyan, giving her another beating!

After washing up.

Let's go to the family ancestral hall together.

On the way, Fang Yun asked, "Have you forgotten what I taught you?"

Fang Che thought carefully for a moment and said, "I haven't forgotten."

"That's good, that's good!" Fang Yunzheng was greatly relieved.

confirmed.

My son is definitely better than me, and I can't help but smile.

Fang Qianyi was quite puzzled. Holding Yan Beihan's arm with one hand and Bi Yunyan's arm with the other, she turned her head and asked, "What did you teach your son?"

"secret!"

The father and son said in unison.

The three women—mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and mother-in-law—burst into laughter simultaneously.

After paying respects to their ancestors, Fang Che led Yan Beihan and Bi Yunyan in kowtowing, and then personally recorded their names into the family genealogy.

From now on, we are officially members of the Fang family.

To put it bluntly: even if he passes away, he can only be buried in the Fang family ancestral graveyard.

So-called home, home, what does home mean? This is it!
After that is done, then comes the very formal... well, in layman's terms, it's visiting relatives.

Taking his new wife on a tour of the homes of his closest relatives and family members, the food and drinks were secondary; the real purpose was: "I have a wife now, so I hope she won't be a stranger to me when we meet again. Whenever we see her, I'll take good care of her."

Of course, various gifts are essential.

As for the Fang family, they have very few relatives here now, only their eldest uncle's family. As for the Fang family in Crimson Flame City… they're not here, and currently, their whereabouts are unknown…

Therefore, it is omitted.

That evening, Fang Zhenghang threw a grand banquet and was all smiles.

For Fang Zhenghang, this was great news! Unlike Fang Qianyi, he didn't have any of the worries or anxieties that Fang Qianyi had. The idea that both sides were equally dear to him... didn't exist for him!

For Fang Zhenghang, it's a good thing as long as his nephew finds a wife. Even if he finds a hundred, it doesn't matter!
Our Fang family can afford to support them!

What's the point?
As for the first wife and the like... those are things Fang Che has to consider. As his uncle, he is only responsible for saying nice things and receiving a gift.

Don't worry about anything else.

Yan Beihan and Bi Yunyan naturally wanted to give their uncle and aunt a gift as well. The atmosphere was harmonious and joyful.

After drinking that night, the process of visiting relatives was considered complete.

Fang Yunzheng naturally knew that his daughter-in-law and son still needed to comprehend the Cloud Weapon Manual, which would take time, so he adopted a relaxed and hands-off approach.

Yan Beihan and Bi Yunyan quickly renovated Fang Che's courtyard, rearranging the study and turning it into a concubine's room.

Bi Yunyan will live here from now on.

While arranging the room, Fang Che kept sighing; his beautiful dream had once again been shattered.

He finally discovered it.

Yan Beihan and Bi Yunyan were incredibly persistent on this matter! They usually indulged her every whim, but there was no room for negotiation on this one thing.

Sleeping together under the same quilt... I guess I really have a long and arduous road ahead in this life.

However, Fang Che also expressed his respect, because this was a woman's expression of self-respect and self-love; no matter what, they always maintain a sense of self.

This is very valuable.

So Fang Che really didn't bring it up again.

Only Yan Beihan, when he is alone and has nothing to do, sighs to himself.

What a mess... Why did I end up in a group with Bi Yunyan in the first place... Now, I don't even have a reason to object.

I dragged myself into this mess... I really spun my own cocoon.

It's unclear how many years this regret will linger in Yan Beihan's heart, but as things stand now, it seems... this lingering regret will be difficult to remove in the short term...

Day and night, the couple began to cultivate diligently.

When they had free time, they would go for a stroll within the array's domain, and then they discovered that this domain was indeed vast, encompassing several large mountain ranges.

"I must say, Senior Night Emperor is incredibly generous!"

After going around in circles, Yan Beihan and Bi Yunyan couldn't help but look at Donghu Yehuang's cultivation and abilities with new respect.

"Senior Night Emperor and Heavenly King Xiao are from the same school, so they can be considered fellow disciples."

Fang Che began to explain to the two women the affairs of the Night Emperor's sect, as well as the thousands of years of entanglement between Heavenly King Xiao Ning and Night Emperor Sikong Ye.

The two women listened with great interest.

Then, naturally, the origins of the Dragon God Halberd and the Void Sword were mentioned.

I'm making a record here with Yanbei Han, since these two things will be in use soon.

Kongming Sword was someone who had fought against the Grand Master before, and I had used Kongming Sword to defeat Feng Xue in the Cloud Weapon Ranking. Yan Nan and the others had witnessed it. Although they hadn't asked me yet, I had to do some work on this.

But Yan Beihan and Bi Yunyan's thoughts naturally drifted elsewhere.

"I see, but this Dragon God Halberd? The Void Sword?"

Yan Beihan frowned: "The other day, we encountered Hai Weilan and the other people from the Golden Dragon Palace. Their Dragon God inheritance of halberd and sword techniques? Doesn't that mean...?"

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, it should be the one I'm cultivating." Fang Che nodded.

"Does that mean that the ancestor of both Heavenly King Xiao and Night Emperor... was that exceptionally talented Palace Master of the Golden Dragon Palace? So he died at the hands of the Grand Master thousands of years ago?"

"And you... no one in the Golden Dragon Hall has mastered the Void Sword, yet you, someone who has no connection to it at all, have? You are the core disciple of the Golden Dragon Hall?"

Both women had dark circles under their eyes, and they both had a strange feeling: how come the things in this world, after going around in circles, have... ended up coming together again?
Fang Che looked helpless and said, "You two tell me, did I know about this beforehand?"

Yan Beihan's face twisted in disbelief: "You don't even know about the Night Emperor and the Heavenly King Xiao, what do you know?"

"What can I do?"

Fang Che said aggrievedly, "I learned it without knowing anything, and then after a while I found out it was related to this and that I had fought with the Grand Master; so I didn't dare to use it; and after a while, I actually became a core disciple of the Golden Dragon Hall again. Where can I go to reason with this?"

"We thought getting a few dragon scales in the Three Realms was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but it turns out we're still connected to the Golden Dragon Palace... Where can we go to reason with this?"

Fang Che asked, his face contorted in pain, "How can you blame me for this?"

"goose……"

Yan Beihan burst out laughing: "Who said it was your fault? It's just that this whole thing has gone through so many twists and turns, it's so strange, even operas don't go like this."

"Ha ha……"

Fang Che rolled his eyes and gave a wry smile.

Bi Yunyan said, "Actually, it all comes down to your own strength. You've learned it, but if you can't improve your strength and just hang around at the bottom, who cares about who you're related to?"

"But once you've made it big and stood out from the crowd, you naturally become qualified to be traced back to your roots."

"For example, your Blood Spirit Seven Swords, if you don't go to the headquarters, how can you be associated with the Shocking God Palace? In fact, it all comes down to those two words: value."

Bi Yunyan's words were quite profound.

It was so profound that it seemed like something she couldn't possibly say.

"But you've kept your Dragon God Halberd and Void Sword hidden for so long, so just keep them hidden."
