Fairy, I really am a villain!

"That's good." "You are such a smooth talker."

Wang Zhongheng had no intention of chatting and just nodded slightly, but the older man next to him had some objections.

This was also a burly man, who looked a bit like the old patriarch Wang Yunzhi whom he had met before. He had an eagle-like look, and he glanced at him and said, "It's because you have been associating with these low-class people all day that Second Lady has become like that. It's incomprehensible."

I guess this is the clan elder who Wang Ningzhu mentioned always made things difficult for her.

"Even the talented people at the top of the list are not worthy of the uncle's attention?" Wang Zhongheng laughed and said lightly: "Besides, it's just a short period of time. Ningzhu knows her limits, so let her go."

"You only rely on some unorthodox methods," the old man stared at Fang Xiwen for a while, "You don't even dare to defend yourself? You are such a child."

Then he sneered, shook his head and walked away.

When the group of people disappeared under the corridor, Wang Xianzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, patted him and said, "What did I say? You will definitely be scolded. But Bogong is usually not so fierce. What did you do?"

"I stabbed his son, hooked up with his granddaughter, and now I'm living and eating for free at his house," Fang Xiwen spread his hands, "A few curses are nothing, I won't bother with him."

"?"

~~

The two walked into the training ground, but did not compete right away.

Wang Xianzhi was seen standing in front of the weapon rack, touching the wooden strips with his hand, and sighed: "Since a few years ago, family meetings have become so cold, and Zhengqi Hall has slowly become a place for disputes.

Those uncles who used to treat me well seem to have become different people now..."

"It's about the Emperor's Sword, right?" Fang Xiwen walked up to him and said.

"Yeah. When we were little, the three of us were very close. We would often compete here, with the adults giving us instructions, just like a cricket fight. We even agreed to become famous together... Ha, but now it has become like this."

"You have done it, right? The names of the Dingjun Three Heroes have spread far and wide."

Wang Xianzhi said: "But I haven't seen them for a long time. Dad asked me to persuade Brother Wenxuan to stop controlling the Longwei Army too much... But since I know his ambitions, how can I say something that would hinder him?"

"So this is the reason why you're 'idling around'. I was wrong about you."

As he spoke, Fang Xiwen looked up at the sky that was cut into squares and sighed.

In the Wang family today, everyone is arguing for their own interests, and this conflict of positions has also extended to the three younger generations.

The more mature Wang Wenxuan holds military power and has a certain say; Wang Ningzhu's natural disadvantage as a woman has now become one of the means to compete for interests; the youngest Wang Xianzhi doesn't want to care about anything and only devotes himself to the world of martial arts.

The so-called Three Heroes of Dingjun were actually each bound by the shackles of their identities and unable to break free, like a bird in a cage.

"I've talked too much today. Brother Fang, how about we have a competition?" Wang Xianzhi turned sideways and looked at him with his clear eyes.

"my pleasure."

Chapter 289 You Still Look Like a Woman in Some Ways

After understanding the reason, Fang Xiwen no longer disliked this young master.

Since the other party has repeatedly asked to learn swordsmanship, just follow his lead. After all, this guy is quite powerful.

After fighting for hundreds of rounds, both of them sat on the ground in sweat, smiling at each other.

At this point, Wang Xianzhi showed some genuine happiness. He reached out and tapped him, saying, "I can see it. Brother Fang's sword skills are not very advanced, but he has a wide range of knowledge. His ability to counter the opponent's moves is almost unique among my peers."

"This is called biting off more than you can chew." Fang Xiwen nodded immediately and laughed.

In fact, Ye Baiyu was right about him at the beginning. His strongest sword move now is still the "Heavenly Sword Abyss" which he got from Fang Qingxiao.

"With so many sword sect and sword school moves, could it be that Brother Fang learned all of them from Hongyan? Are the rumors true?"

"how to say..."

Seeing his hesitant expression, Wang Xianzhi also laughed, "It seems so. Could it be that Brother Fang does not talk about love affairs during a date, but only about cultivation? That would be an insult to the name of the romantic wandering swordsman!"

"If you say so, then so be it." Fang Xiwen spread his hands helplessly.

This reminded him. It's been so long, why haven't I seen Wang Ningzhu's contract yet?

Could it be that she still doesn't believe in herself?

While he was thinking, there was a sound of someone riding a horse outside. Fang Xiwen dusted himself off and stood up, "Could it be that Wenxuan is back?"

"The ferry isn't that close to the city, so it's not that fast."

"That should be Miss Wang. I'll go and greet her."

"Go ahead, go ahead. I can't even stand up. Brother Fang's physical strength is really amazing..." Wang Xianzhi struggled for a while and then stopped moving. The traffic behemoth, apart from sweating a little more, strode away.

~~

He went straight to the outer courtyard and saw that several elders of the Wang family were there; and the person who just stepped into the door was Wang Ningzhu in silver armor.

She had her hair tied in a high ponytail, her eyes slightly narrowed, her spear pointed sideways, and a demonic aura wafted from her body, obviously she had rushed back without stopping.

However, before Wang Ningzhu could even open his mouth, an old man scolded her, "Look at yourself. How can you be a human being now? How do you expect others to look at you along the way?!"

"What they think is none of my business." Wang Ningzhu stiffened his neck, too lazy to pay attention to this uncle. His eyes passed through the crowd, looking for something.

"You are bringing shame to the Wang family! Didn't I tell you to hang out with the Song family's daughter? Now she has boarded the Hedong Yang family's boat and has become a phoenix. Look at yourself now!"

After saying that, the old man still refused to give in and turned to Wang Zhongheng and said, "Why don't you take care of it? Look, does this look like a daughter that the Wang family can marry off?"

"I didn't want to get married in the first place, but you guys forced me to do it?!"

This happened again and again, and with some things that happened recently; when she saw Fang Xiwen approaching from the backyard, her heart was gripped tightly, and she immediately couldn't bear it anymore.

She opened the package around her waist and smashed a demon head to the ground, blood splattering everywhere. She angrily said, "You asked me to move around more? Do you know how many people this eagle demon killed in Luyang?

If I don't kill it, who knows who will be in trouble!"

With a thud, the courtyard suddenly became quiet.

The old man lifted his hem, his momentum stagnated for a moment, and then he became even more aggressive, "How dare you talk back? There are so many people at home, do you really need a woman like you to go?"

He didn't try to reason with Wang Ningzhu at all, and just put his authority on display: "It is said that you are still having an affair with that romantic Liu Jian. Do you know that you will get married in the future? You are an unfaithful woman!"

"That's enough!" "What do you mean by unclear? Keep your mouth shut!"

Wang Zhongheng couldn't bear to see his daughter being scolded to this extent, but someone spoke up faster than him.

Fang Xiwen walked out quickly and stood in front of Wang Ningzhu, then looked around; he knew that the people present were all from outside, and most of them had made great achievements in battle and were well-known figures. If he offended them, it would only bring trouble to himself.

But he couldn't help it.

"You little bastard, do you have the right to speak here?"

"Ha, let's not talk about whether Miss Wang and I are 'clear', we still have a score to settle," Fang Xiwen sneered as he looked at the old man, "It's the father's fault if the son doesn't teach well. If I hadn't shown mercy, you would have no descendants."

"What did you say!" The old man was angry, and there was a sudden sense of majesty on his body, but it was easily dispelled by Wang Zhongheng next to him.

The latter looked at him with some interest but did not speak.

Seeing this, Fang Xiwen became even more rude, "I have let Wang Anyang go twice. The first time I robbed the escort, I almost stabbed him to death with a sword; the second time I took the tiger talisman, I beat him to his knees... If I didn't admire the integrity of the Wang family, I would have killed him long ago."

"This is unreasonable!!"

"Young Master Fang is right. Uncle, he has done a great favor to the Wang family. Your attitude towards his benefactor is a little inappropriate." There was some appreciation in Wang Zhongheng's tone.

Looking over again, he was surprised to find that his arrogant daughter also looked happy.

'This young man had a very good attitude at the beginning. He never retaliated when scolded, and never tried to repay a favor, until Ningzhu was bullied... He was a good match, but unfortunately he was a wandering knight.'

"So what if I've done you a great favor? Is that a reason for you to hook up with a good family? I'm going to teach you a lesson today!" The old man was obviously embarrassed and looked like he was really going to take action.

"Seducing a good girl? Do you know who I am——"

He really couldn't bear to see Wang Ningzhu suffer this injustice, so he was determined to reveal his identity without any hesitation; let him cause trouble for the Fang family, and he would deal with it later.

However, the girl behind him had a bright expression and smiled, "I don't want to waste my time talking to you, Xiwen, let's go!"

In full view of everyone, Wang Ningzhu grabbed his hand, and the two of them ran all the way across the corridor.

Clear and relieved laughter rang out, and they left those big shots behind without even looking at them.

"You're still saying no? Take a look for yourself, nephew!"

"Oh, shouldn't we give the younger generation some freedom? No need to interfere."

Wang Zhongheng believed that his daughter had a sense of propriety and was aware of the general situation, and knew what to do and what not to do; what's more, compared to the third young master who was of ordinary birth, this young man was much more pleasing to the eye, so he could just let her hold his hand as much as he wanted.

~~

On the other side, the two ran all the way into the pavilion in the inner courtyard and then stopped.

Fang Xiwen looked at the clasped hands and said with a smile, "You are really brave."

"A bunch of old guys. Whenever I want to show them respect, they start talking." Wang Ningzhu naturally loosened his hands and curled his lips.

Sitting opposite each other in the pavilion, the two barely exchanged pleasantries. Wang Ningzhu then started talking about what happened in Luyang:

“I chased over there and killed a harpy and its followers;

The strange thing is that this demon is still one step away from forming a pill, so it shouldn't be able to injure the black-scaled snake like that, but when I chased it, I got no news... And when I heard that my brother was back, I felt that something might have happened at home, so I hurried back."

"I see it."

"I didn't get much rest along the way. I'm so tired." Wang Ningzhu lay on the stone table, and his breastplates made a crisp sound when they were pressed together.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll go get some food."

After saying that, Fang Xiwen turned and went to the kitchen, then poured her another glass of water.

When she came back, Wang Ningzhu looked a little confused and pursed her lips, "I'm dirty, don't dislike me, I'm not like this usually."

"No, don't worry," Fang Xiwen was delighted and pushed the water over. "Come to think of it, Zhengqi Hall is a place for meetings."

"It's a bit like an auditorium, but the special thing is that a trace of the sword spirit of the Jun Cen Sword is stored there. As long as it is awakened, the Ming De Sword can be unsealed... Unfortunately, it has now become a place for uncles and aunts to quarrel."

After looking at each other, Wang Ningzhu felt a little ashamed, but Fang Xiwen felt it was a pity.

In his opinion, if the people of the Wang family were like this from the beginning, how could they have defended Guihua Mountain for so long? It must have been because of the erosion of a long period of time that they gradually changed.

"You can fight, but not at a time like this, with the demons watching us covetously..." He sighed.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. By the way, where is my brother?"

"Wenxuan went to the ferry to investigate the ferry and has not returned yet."

"You asked him to go? Don't worry, he will definitely be able to do it," Wang Ningzhu said, with both hands on the table, his left hand grasping the index finger of his right hand, and looking up: "You called him Wenxuan... Did you have a good chat?"

"Well, your brother is pretty easy to get along with."
