Chapter 496 - 11: Ghost Temple (Part 2)
"If others don’t fancy you, what can be done?" Fairy Lv Hua seemed accustomed to her disciple’s unruliness and shook her head, saying:
"You really are something, throwing a tantrum in front of the Commandery Princess. If you upset the Princess, punishment is inevitable."
"Hmph!"
Xiao Qian snorted coldly:
"The Commandery Princess? Things aren’t what they used to be. Without the support of our Luofu Immortal Sect, she wouldn’t be where she is today."
She seemed to be hinting at something, shaking her head as she said:
"Master, I want Fang Ping’an. Could you help me? I really, really like him."
"Haven’t you liked enough people?" Fairy Lv Hua rolled her eyes:
"Fang Ping’an is different from others; he has already cultivated mana, his disposition is steadfast, and he carries a magical artifact for protection. It’s impossible to enchant him with magic."
"Moreover, he frequently visits the Commandery Princess’s Mansion, and with the current events unfolding, there’s no way to force anything."
"Master..." Xiao Qian looked troubled:
"Can’t you think of some way?"
"There is nothing to think about." Lv Hua shook her head:
"Girl, there are plenty of men in this world, and many are easy on the eyes. You must learn to accept that some men cannot be yours."
"You have to get used to this."
"If he were of royal or noble descent, I’d accept it, but Fang Ping’an is just a landlord’s son from the local area." Xiao Qian stomped her foot:
"And yet, I can’t win him over?"
Actually,
she originally thought she had him.
With the Luofu Immortal Sect as her backing and a Great Mage master favoring her, that kid Fang Ping’an didn’t dare to resist.
He even intended to acquiesce to avoid implicating his family.
Unexpectedly.
His adoptive father had some skills, directly taking his son to the Commandery Princess, causing a lot of trouble.
Thinking about it now, her heart was filled with anger. Had she known, she wouldn’t have played this game of romance.
She would have been direct and avoided all this mess.
"Fang Zheng is a Flawless Martial Artist who also practices magic. His talent might even surpass yours." Fairy Lv Hua said:
"If not for the lack of inheritance, and his lack of strength, making some detours, perhaps he could become a Martial Arts Grandmaster."
"Don’t underestimate him."
"Hmm..."
"This man saved the Little Princess’s life and, due to his musical skills, became a guest of honor to Princess Qingyuan."
"He cannot be regarded as an ordinary wealthy county family."
"Hmph!" Xiao Qian snorted coldly:
"Do I just let it be?"
"No rush." Fairy Lv Hua closed her eyes and spoke leisurely:
"The world is in turmoil now. No one can guarantee absolute safety. Perhaps in a few years, the Fang Mansion will come begging to you."
"By then..."
"Won’t Fang Ping’an be at your mercy?"
"Exactly." Shi Bumi nodded in agreement:
"If it really bothers you, find an opportunity, and I’ll help vent your anger by teaching that Fang Zheng a lesson."
"But!" Xiao Qian said:
"By then, Fang Ping’an may already have a wife. What use is venting then?"
"What does it matter if he has a wife?" Lv Hua smiled faintly:
"Dear disciple, let me tell you from my experience, men with experience often have more flavor than virgins."
As she spoke, she cast a sidelong glance at Shi Bumi.
Shi Bumi chuckled and nodded.
Xiao Qian also instinctively looked at Shi Bumi, her cheeks reddening, and then she pouted.
She was like a child fixated on a toy, determined to possess it.
"Don’t rush."
Fairy Lv Hua had also once experienced Xiao Qian’s mindset and spoke slowly:
"Fang Ping’an won’t be able to marry a wife."
"Hmm?" Xiao Qian first frowned but then relaxed, smiling sweetly as she approached her master to massage her shoulders:
"I knew Master would have a way."
......
Fang Mansion’s villa.
"First talk to your parents if there’s anything."
Du Qiaoyun said softly:
"Do you think we would harm you? Keeping things to yourself only harms you and makes your parents worry."
"Yes."
Fang Ping’an nodded. Having resolved long-standing issues, his mood visibly relaxed, and a rare smile appeared on his face:
"It was my mistake."
"I’m not as irresponsible as you think, nor as weak." Fang Zheng snorted coldly:
"If there’s an issue, speak up. Even if it involves a Martial Sect or a Master, it isn’t unsolvable. And to be frightened by a mere young girl?"
"Alas!"
He sighed:
"Perhaps I’ve been too low-key, making even my son lack confidence. It seems there is some merit in raising children lavishly."
"Foster father." Fang Ping’an scratched his head:
"It’s my fault."
"Of course it’s your fault." Fang Zheng glanced at him:
"It’s fine to think a lot, but if you can’t figure something out, you should ask. In this, you lag behind your brother."
"Ping’an."
"Yes." Fang Ping’an lowered his head.
"Remember." Fang Zheng spoke slowly:
"As long as your parents are here, you needn’t fear anyone, not even a Martial Arts Grandmaster or a Magical Sage."
"What seems like a massive issue to you may not be unsolvable for your father."
Fang Ping’an looked up in astonishment.
It was as if he was meeting his father for the first time.
In the Prefecture City, most parents came from noble Immortal Sects, bestowed with true teachings, while Fang Zheng, a countryside landlord, seemed inconspicuous.
But now,
he saw a kind of unabashed confidence and boldness in Fang Zheng he had never seen before.
"Do you remember the Dharma Gate you practice?"
"Yes."
Fang Ping’an nodded:
"The Yin Yang Energy Visualization Method."
This is a very common method, practiced by many low-tier warlocks—standard fare.
"Ha..." Fang Zheng chuckled lightly:
"You really think it’s just an ordinary Yin Yang Energy Visualization Method? If so, why wouldn’t I let you switch practices? Do you think your talent is so exceptional that practicing low-tier dharma gates would allow you to cultivate mana early?"
"Ah!" Fang Ping’an was astonished.
"That visualization method is called the Twelve-Story Tower Visualization Method, a pinnacle inheritance among warlocks, comparable to the Luofu Immortal Sect’s Cave Profound Observation Method." Fang Zheng said:
