I, the mortal, come from the great world of Xuanhuang

Fang Yu's departure left Xiao Yan and Yao Chen completely bewildered, having no idea where he came from or why.

"Old man, do you know who that person was just now? Why does he know so much about us? He also knows that you're the one who caused me to become like this, and he even asked me to become your disciple. How can he know us so well? Who exactly is he? What's going on? Do you know?"

Xiao Yan's way of addressing Yao Chen immediately caused an uproar, and he reprimanded him without any politeness.

"What are you calling 'old man'? Call me Master or Teacher. How dare you call me 'old man'? From now on, you should call me Teacher or Master. As for 'old man,' that's not what you should be calling me. As for who that person was, I don't know either, but his identity is definitely very mysterious, and his strength is considerable. As for his background, I don't know much either. Anyway, he seemed to know a lot about us. In short, you don't need to worry about it. Just do as I say. These are the medicinal herbs I asked you to find. Find them for me. Once you find them, I can help you refine pills to help you restore your talent. If nothing unexpected happens, you should be able to recover very quickly."

Just as Yao Chen finished speaking, an untimely voice suddenly rang out, and the owner of this voice was their family's steward.

"Young Master, Young Master, Young Master? Are you alright?"

Upon the butler's appearance, Yao Chen immediately returned to Xiao Yan's ring and didn't come out again. Xiao Yan simply told the butler he was fine. Fang Yu hadn't done anything to him earlier, instead telling him to focus on his cultivation, so that was all. The butler, though also puzzled, knew perfectly well that this was a matter beyond his control.

Without saying a word, he led Xiao Yan back to Xiao Yan's room, where Xiao Yan began preparing the medicinal herbs as instructed by Yao Chen.

The prices of these medicinal herbs were clearly exorbitant, causing Xiao Yan some headaches, forcing him to borrow money.

……

As for Fang Yu, he met Ling Ying. Fang Yu was not surprised by Ling Ying's arrival. Instead, he took her to a well-known teahouse in the city, booked a private room, and then began to speak.

"Sir, you've been following me for so long, why don't you come in and have a cup of tea? Since you're already here, sit down and have some tea so we can have a good chat. There are many things I'd like to discuss with you, especially regarding your young lady. I know she doesn't trust me and thinks I might do something bad to that young master, but I can assure her that I have no interest in him. The main reason I'm looking for her is because there are things about her that I want to know. As for whether it's related to your family, that's none of your concern. It has nothing to do with your family."

"However, there's one thing I hope your young lady can do: stay away from him, the farther the better. Otherwise, I don't recommend telling the third young master the truth about his arrival. Even if the siblings have a good relationship, this kind of thing is hard to tolerate. No one can tolerate such a thing. I believe it's a younger sister's sister deceiving him to get her family's treasure. If the third young master finds out the truth, he'll easily get angry and resentful, and it will be hard for him to forgive. So, while the third young master is still unaware of the truth, leave quickly. That's the best choice. If your family wants to settle accounts with me, that's fine too. You can come and settle accounts with me anytime, as long as you're not afraid of being caught." What is an accident? Your family should know very well. As long as you're not afraid of such an accident, you can come and settle accounts with me anytime, and I won't object. After all, you can't do anything to me; you just need to kill me, right? But the prerequisite is that you have to have the ability, which is incredibly difficult. This is something you can't do. Even the most powerful family in the entire Dou Qi Continent can't do it. I can tell you clearly, it's absolutely impossible, completely impossible. It's something you simply cannot do. Since it's impossible, then don't do such a foolish thing again. Doing this foolish thing once is enough. Don't even think about doing it a second time. Really, don't even think about doing it a second time. You can't do it, and you're incapable of it. Once you make a mistake, the consequences will be unpredictable.”

"Sir, who exactly are you? Why have we never seen you before? Just tell us who you are!"

Ling Ying came out immediately, and his words were extremely cold, even darkening the entire private room.

"Don't be so nervous, don't worry so much, and don't be so afraid. Who I am is not important. What's important is that you listen to me. If you don't listen to me, you should know the consequences. Don't think about things you clearly can't do. And if you want to disappoint that Third Young Master, then I can only say that you have succeeded. As long as I tell that Third Young Master what happened, I can be sure that he will be very disappointed in you."

"It's quite possible that they might harbor resentment or even hatred towards your young lady. This is very likely to happen, and I can guarantee that. I hope you understand that I have the ability and capability to do so. If I couldn't even do this, I'm afraid I would have already died without a burial place."

"As for who I am, I'll say it again, you don't need to know or understand. Just do as I say, and don't worry about the rest. It has nothing to do with you, and you don't need to care."

"Why should we listen to you? Why should we listen to you? Since you already know that our family is the most powerful family in the entire Dou Qi Continent, then you should understand that you can't afford to offend us." "You're threatening me, you're threatening me. It's fine, you can threaten me, it doesn't matter. Don't even mention threatening, didn't I just say? You can attack me, you can just eliminate me. But I feel you can't do that on your own, you can't even go that far. So you'd better not even have that thought. Even if you wanted to eliminate me, you'd have to find someone to do it for you. You can't do it on your own, it's impossible. Sigh, it's really a very difficult thing. I'm not bragging about how powerful I am, but you can't do it under these circumstances. If you could, I would already be dead. So you can't do it. Don't worry too much, I have no interest in your plans. Just do as I say, get out of here and leave. That's all. As long as you get out of here, there won't be any problems. I hope you understand this and don't do anything too foolish. It won't benefit anyone, it won't benefit you, it won't benefit me, so don't do anything stupid."

Why should we believe you? Why should we trust you?

"Whether you believe me or not makes no difference to me, and it won't cause any harm. If you believe me, you will benefit; if you don't believe me, you will only suffer. You must believe this. If you don't believe me, you will end up very unlucky. I can guarantee that. If you don't believe me, you will be very unlucky. There is no doubt about it. I can make that guarantee. If you believe me, that's your problem. Don't come looking for me. That's all. If you do come looking for me, I won't pay any attention to you. You no longer deserve my attention."

"Because you are all really stupid and dumb, it's hard for me to understand you, and it's unimaginable. I really can't imagine that anyone would care about people as stupid as you. Okay, okay, I've made myself clear. Anyway, you're not going to drink this tea or eat this meal, and I guess you don't want to either. You should go back and report the situation. Just tell your young lady what I just said as simply as possible. Your young lady is quite beautiful, but her intentions are impure, and it's hard for her to gain anyone's true affection. Under these circumstances, it would be best to make her a little smarter and not so stupid anymore. Although she's beautiful, I feel she has no brains."

"Since he's brainless, he shouldn't stay here. He'll only bother others, which is no good for anyone. So let's not let him be brainless, and let's not let him stay here. That's a good thing for everyone."

Fang Yu's words made Ling Ying's face turn very ugly. After all, it was the first time she had heard someone humiliate their young lady like this.

"Don't be angry. This has nothing to do with you. You're just a gatekeeper, what does it have to do with you? It has nothing to do with you, so don't be angry or sad. It really has nothing to do with you, and you don't need to care. If you care, then it will be troublesome, and you will definitely feel very uncomfortable. This is not a good thing, and I don't want this kind of good thing to happen. So, it's better for you to live as long as possible and avoid any bad things happening. Otherwise, it will not benefit anyone and will be harmful to everyone. At least that's how I see it. I hope you can understand this. Don't think you know everything. In fact, you don't know anything and understand nothing. If you understood anything, you wouldn't have done such a foolish thing. It's really too foolish. Utterly foolish. There's no need to say anything, and there's no need to care. Okay, I've said everything I need to say. What do you want to do? Do it yourselves. Just don't come looking for me."

“I will report everything you have said to Miss truthfully, but I also hope that you can understand what you mean by what you have said.”

Ling Ying's words made Fang Yu laugh again, and then he nodded.

"Don't worry, I know what all this means, but it has nothing to do with you, the gatekeeper Fang Yu. It has absolutely nothing to do with you."

"If you think it's related, then it proves that you are too loyal. In fact, you don't need to be so loyal. It's meaningless and has absolutely no meaning, because no one will treat you as a person. You are just a gatekeeper, Master Fang Yu. Under such circumstances, there is no need for you to be so loyal."

"Alright, there are many things that will happen next, things that you can't change or influence. You just need to do things step by step. Do you care about the rest? You don't need to care about the rest at all, because it's meaningless and worthless."

"No matter what, it's all worthless, I can assure you of that. You have to decide all of this at any time. It's a really troublesome thing, a real headache."

"So to avoid giving me a headache, you'd better hurry up and leave. Don't show up in front of me again. Showing up in front of me will only give me a bigger headache and make me want to hit someone. That's not a good thing, and it's definitely not a good thing for you either. I can guarantee that."

"If you insist on calling it a good thing, I have no objection. In that case, I might really beat you up. This kind of thing is very likely to happen, it is bound to happen, and it will definitely happen. So you better behave yourself and don't do anything stupid."

"It's getting late, you should hurry back. What's coming next is not something you should get involved in, and you have no right to continue getting involved. It's not a good thing for you."

"It's all over now, all of it is over. No more worries, no more concerns. Sigh, it was so difficult, so incredibly difficult. I didn't want to do so many complicated things." (End of Chapter)
