It is said that she came down the mountain to capture me and take me home, so she should be on her way to Dingjun; plus she should have heard the news of my "death", so she would definitely come looking for me.

That would be a good opportunity for me to meet up with my sister in Dingjun, and after exploring the spiritual realm, we could return to the capital together.

This plan was perfect, but there was one thing that gave him a headache...

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the door.

Listening carefully, the noisy sounds outside the courtyard had gradually died down. It was probably because those unimportant guests had left, and now it was time for the palace's own people to revel.

Thinking of this, Fang Xiwen paused as he tried to open the door. He knew who was coming.

Chapter 304: Another declaration of support?

"Please come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was gently pushed open, and a middle-aged man who looked somewhat familiar came in.

He was wearing a black gown with a white cloak on the outside, and his legs were wrapped with a square scarf, looking smart and neat; he had a handsome face, and his eyes looked around. When he saw people, a warm smile appeared on his face, as if he was friends with everyone.

The person who came was Fang’s second uncle, Fang Jinzhi.

"Xiwen!" He didn't smell of alcohol, he opened his arms and hugged me, smiling: "It's been so long since we last met, I really missed you so much, Second Uncle." "Haha."

After two dry laughs, Fang Xiwen dodged to the side and avoided the hug.

Seeing that his efforts were in vain, Fang Jinzhi sighed in annoyance, "It was fine that you didn't want to get close to your second uncle when you were a child, but now that you've grown up and become so sensible, why are you still like this?

Second uncle is very sad."

"What's the matter?" Fang Xiwen didn't respond.

This person is too calculating. When he was trying to get the spiritual spring in Yiling before, he played a two-faced role. On the one hand, he was plotting with the Yun family, and on the other hand, he was thinking about revealing it to the Mingyue Sword Sect. He never told the truth.

Although Fang Xiwen couldn't say she disliked him, she didn't have a good impression of him either.

"Can't you come to see my good nephew if you have nothing to do?" Uncle Fang still smiled.

As the two men moved away from each other, Fang Xiwen looked back and found that there was a young man in his teens or twenties following him.

He was of tall stature, and his facial features resembled those of Fang Jinzhi, but his temperament was quite imposing, and he resembled a younger version of the Marquis Xuanping.

Seeing him looking at him, the young man widened his eyes and leaned forward.

"How rude," Fang Jinzhi pretended to look gloomy when they met eyes, and dragged the young man over, "Hurry up and meet your brother Xiwen!"

"Hello, brother."

"Hello." Looking at this "brother" who was taller than him, Fang Xiwen just responded softly and looked at Fang Jinzhi again.

He had no interest in acting out a family drama here, so naturally he didn't bother to say more.

Fang Jinzhi had a keen nose, and after sniffing lightly, he walked into the yard, smiled and pointed at him with his finger, "No wonder you didn't go to the banquet to drink, it turns out you have someone else to go with, really."

"I am not good at speaking, and I haven't done anything great. I'm afraid if I stay there and say something wrong, I'll offend others for no reason."

After saying that, Fang Xiwen also laughed.

He didn't mind at all that Fang Jinzhi came over to establish a relationship with the Wang family and share the credit. He could even say that this was something he was happy to see, as part of his way of repaying the Fang family's kindness.

But one thing is one thing, he doesn't want to get entangled too much with his second uncle.

"Xiwen, you are good in every way, except that you are too modest." Fang Jinzhi seemed not to understand the hint. He walked to the stone table and sat down. He poured a pot of tea and said with a smile, "When it comes to networking, Tinghao still needs to learn more from your brother."

"Haha, Second Uncle is joking."

"I'm not kidding. This kid of mine has been in the sect for too long. He just practices martial arts all day and can't even speak clearly. Qing Xiao can't be relied on anymore. Only you, as his elder brother, can help him."

As he spoke, he poured him a cup of tea himself and pushed it towards him with a smile.

"In that case..." Fang Xiwen sighed secretly, knowing that it was not over for the time being, so he turned to look at Fang Tinghao, "Tinghao, where are you practicing now?"

"Xuanxiao Sect." The young man seemed to be very frugal with his words.

"Oh, then the swordsmanship must be very well-trained?" Fang Xiwen asked casually, and something moved his mind.

He remembered that a long time ago, Second Uncle Fang looked down on the Shocking Book and said that it could send him to the first sect of this school. At that time, he thought it was just talk, but it turned out to be true?

"Of course it is very good."

"What's so great about that? You have the nerve to show off your mediocre skills." Fang Jinzhi shook his head. "I'm one year younger than your brother, and I've only just opened my nose. What's there to brag about?"

"I am a descendant of a great sect with six orifices, which is much better than his ordinary eight orifices."

"Bullshit."

"What nonsense! I can practice with him..."

The father and son chatted for a few more sentences before Fang Jinzhi got to the point.

He glanced around the courtyard, folded his hands, and said with a smile: "Xiwen, how have you been in the Wang family these days? If you are bullied, just tell your second uncle, don't worry about their faces."

"No, they treat me well."

"This courtyard doesn't look 'nice'," Fang Jinzhi shook his head slowly, and said casually: "Where is your unmarried wife?

It is said that she is passionate about military battles and loves to fight on the battlefield. Could it be that she often leaves you here and goes to the border by herself?"

"That's not true."

"Then they must have treated you coldly. Otherwise, why would Xiwen not even want to go to the Wang family banquet, and instead be drinking with others here to drown his sorrows?" Fang Jinzhi said as if he felt sorry for him.

"Well, Miss Wang is on location after all, so it's normal for her to have a lot of things to do."

"How can it be normal? Aren't women supposed to take care of their husbands and children and treat their husbands and their wives equally? How can she be like this?"

"I beg to differ."

The two chatted for a while, and Uncle Fang pretended to think for a long time before he said with some embarrassment: "Since you don't get along well with her, this marriage is unfair to you.

I also know that you have a confidante in the martial arts world. If you really don't want to marry her, then Second Uncle has a plan to teach you."

"I am willing, of course I am not." Fang Xiwen almost couldn't hold it in. How could he imagine it like this?

"Xiwen, you are a handsome man, why do you have to marry such a high-ranking girl from an aristocratic family? If you and your wife are not getting along in the future, you will blame the family's arrangement. Why don't you listen to your second uncle's advice--" "Who said you don't get along well?"

Suddenly, a sharp voice interrupted Fang Jinzhi's words.

Following the sound, I saw a woman wearing a loose cloud-patterned satin brocade, standing tall under the eaves, her eyebrows slightly knitted;

Then, she walked over quickly and stood behind Fang Xiwen. "Even as an elder, you shouldn't speculate about other people's lives so casually. He and I get along very well and we have never had any arguments. How can we not get along well?"

Her tone was majestic, and those who didn't know would think she was angry, but Fang Xiwen knew that she was a little anxious.

"Miss Wang? Why... are you here?" Fang Jinzhi didn't seem ashamed at all even though he was caught gossiping behind her back.

He looked towards where Wang Ningzhu came out and was a little surprised: These two people live in the same yard?

The divine sense failed to detect her. Is this the power of the person who has achieved unity of heaven and man? Fang Jinzhi was secretly shocked, but he smiled and said, "I came here to chat with my nephew. I didn't know the lady was here. I am sorry for being so rude."

"It's alright," Wang Ningzhu waved his hands and put his hands on Fang Xiwen's shoulders. "Let's put it this way. The alliance is a mutually beneficial move. I won't interfere.

But if it is only for Ningzhu, even if the hundreds of people in the Fang family are added together, they are not as important as Xiwen alone. And he has repeatedly done favors for the Wang family, so his father and brother should think the same way. "

Her voice was calm, yet surprisingly powerful.

After all, he was a body from an outdoor scene, and with the evil spirit generated in the military formation, he actually overshadowed Fang Jinzhi of the fourth heaven.

Seeing this, both the father and son were stunned, and then Uncle Fang came back to his senses and smiled gently: "Since the relationship between the younger generations is so good, then I was worrying too much. I'm sorry."

Wang Ningzhu didn't say much, just bowed.

"I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."

They came with great momentum and left cleanly. Looking at the two people's hurried backs, Fang Xiwen said nothing, but just smiled and shook his head.

How could he not see it? Fang Jinzhi was not satisfied with the merits and connections he had gained, and wanted to push it further, and promote his own son with Wang Ningzhu.

Perhaps in the eyes of Second Uncle Fang, it is an alliance with the Fang family anyway; isn't this talented person who has been trained in the sect much better than Fang Xiwen, the wandering knight?

Unfortunately, this plan was shattered by just a few words from me. I could only consider it as a loss and leave in disgrace.

As soon as the two men left, Wang Ningzhu put her arms around his neck and put her cheek close to his, "Looking at your second uncle's appearance... don't you usually get along well with your family?"

"No, he's just too greedy. Anyway, you're going to cause me to be bullied at home."

"How dare he?" As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes lit up. "How about you not go back to the Fang family, and live here from now on? Not only will you have enough food, but no one in the palace will dare to mess with you.

If there is anyone who is blind, I will stand up for you."

"Ah, this..." Fang Xiwen blinked.

This sounds familiar. Is this another declaration of support from a rich woman?

"Okay," the female general actually hugged him and acted coquettishly, her thin lips moved to his ear, bit it lightly, and whispered: "If you agree, I will do whatever you want in the future."

"?!"

After a moment of heartbeat, Fang Xiwen came to his senses and shook his head vigorously: "Forget it, forget it, I'm not here to marry into your family."

"No one wants you to marry into the family. Now, is that okay?"

"Don't flirt with me anymore. If I really agree to your offer, I will be torn into pieces..." Fang Xiwen thought of something, cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and took her hand instead, "Let's not talk about this, how about going somewhere with me?"

"Okay. Where to?"

"Uncle Fang has reminded me that there is more to come regarding the demon clan."

"Do you want to learn from him and take credit for it?" Wang Ningzhu chuckled.

"No. The main thing is that someone is waiting for me, so I'll take you out to play. How about that?"

"Good~"

~~

Although they said they were going to the street, the two of them first turned to the yard where Xiaodie lived.

This was originally where Wang Ningzhu and her servant lived, but after she moved out, she left Xiaodie here.

"Humph, when nothing happens, you call her an 'unknown child', but when you need Xiaodie, you come looking for her?"

"No, I was busy taking care of him." Wang Ningzhu blinked innocently and nudged him with her elbow. Fang Xiwen nodded honestly.

After some coaxing, Xiaodie finally agreed to help Fang Xiwen put on makeup and pulled him to sit in front of a bronze mirror.
