Chapter 527: A grown son can"t be controlled by his mother
In the martial arts room.
In the office.
Fang ping leaned back in his chair. His previous cheeky smile was gone, replaced by a tired expression.
He was also very tired.
This time, when he entered the catacombs, he had gambled his life time and time again, and he had suffered heavy injuries time and time again. Every time he entered the catacombs, he had been hovering between life and death.
Once a martial artist entered the catacombs, his life would no longer be in his hands.
After sitting alone for a while, Fang ping managed to gather his spirits and make a call.
"Turn off your phone ..."
Chen Yunxi"s phone was switched off, so she must have gone to the catacombs.
Old Chen had probably just returned and might not know about Chen Yunxi. Fang ping thought about it and did not call again.
After sending a text message, Fang ping did not continue to stay in school.
He wanted to go home and rest for a few days.
It wouldn"t be too late for him to return after old w.a.n.g and the others had settled the matters at hand.
……
Bay Garden.
In the villa area.
Fang ping put away his fatigue. Most martial artists fought in the catacombs so that their families could enjoy peace and happiness.
No matter how much blood they shed in the catacombs, no matter how much tears they shed, when they returned to the surface, they were all unparalleled strong martial artists.
No one would show despair and pessimism in front of ordinary people ...
The world was already in despair. Why should they let these ordinary people who couldn"t change anything suffer?
"Brother, you"re back!"
The moment Fang Ping"s figure appeared, Fang Yuan, who was playing on the lawn in front of the courtyard, was overjoyed and ran over hurriedly.
Fang Yuan was not the only one. Fang ping also saw song yingji"s daughter and another girl.
Fang Yuan was not in a hurry to introduce him. After checking Fang Ping"s body, she said with a smile,"Brother, have you been on a mission these days?"
"Yes."
Fang ping nodded slightly and pinched her cheek. He smiled and said, "Aren"t you going to introduce me?"
Before Fang Yuan could say anything, song ya said a little awkwardly,""Big brother Fang ... I"m song ya."
"We"ve met before. "
Fang ping laughed. Song ya had been there at the mcmau Grandmaster"s banquet.
When he saw song ya, Fang ping remembered that he did not see song yingji when he returned this time. He did not know if she had gone to the catacombs or was in closed-door cultivation, but he did not ask in detail.
At this time, the girl who looked slightly older also said softly,""h.e.l.lo, big brother Fang, I"m Li Hongyu."
"Brother, she"s the one you asked me to beat up last time ..." Fang Yuan quickly added.
Fang ping glared at Fang Yuan unkindly. Fang Yuan snickered and immediately changed her words. "She"s the grandniece of mcmau"s teacher li. She"s a year three student at mcmau"s High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China. "
"Teacher Li"s grandniece ..." He said.
Fang ping nodded slightly. He remembered now.
Old man Li did not have any relatives, and he was not married either. However, he did have an elder brother.
His big brother was not a martial artist and had pa.s.sed away a long time ago.
He had a nephew, but old man Li did not lead his nephew on the path of martial arts. If it were his son, old man Li would probably not hesitate and would definitely take him on the path of martial arts.
However, his nephew was his brother"s only bloodline. Once he became a martial artist, his life and death would be no longer in his own hands.
Old man Li would rather his nephew be an ordinary person than take care of him.
His nephew had been resentful about this and had cut off contact with old man Li many years ago.
However, old man Li"s grandniece was quite talented. In addition, his nephew had been holding back his anger and was bent on cultivating a martial artist. He had spent quite a lot of money on his daughter.
Li Hongyu, who was in her third year of high school now, had a vitality close to 150Cal.
Old man Li did not really care about it. He did not even ask about it. However, Fang ping knew that old man Li still cared.
When he went to the Nanjiang catacombs back then, old man Li had even specially mentioned this to Fang ping. He had opened the back door for his grandniece so that she would be specially recruited if she could not get into mcmau.
For Warriors, many people had complicated feelings when they let their family members become Warriors.
Fu changding"s grandfather had never allowed him to come into contact with martial arts when he was young.
When Fang ping was teaching Fang Yuan, he had mixed feelings and hesitated a few times.
"It"s the rank-1 and 2 martial artists who are truly interested in their children"s martial arts path.
They did not know about the catacombs. They only saw the glory of martial artists and felt the privilege of becoming a powerhouse. They wholeheartedly wanted their children to become martial arts powerhouses.
However, that was in the past. Now, martial arts powerhouses no longer cared about these things.
The situation was becoming more and more turbulent. Now, strength was the most important thing, and no one stopped their descendants from becoming martial artists.
Both of them were the descendants of mcmau"s instructors. Fang ping felt like he was looking at his own juniors. He smiled and said,"Hong Yu is about to become a martial artist. Are you preparing to twice-hone?"
Li Hongyu was a little embarra.s.sed and said in a low voice,""I don"t have much confidence. My father wants me to strive to become a martial artist before the college entrance exam. The martial Sciences exam will start in a few days ..."
"Don"t be in a hurry. It"s still beneficial to be able to twice-hone. As for becoming a martial artist, it"s not too late to consider it after entering a martial arts university. "
Fang ping laughed and said,"your second Grandpa is also a top rank-8 powerhouse now. When you enter mcmau, ask him to help you. The descendants of rank-8 powerhouses are not twice-honed. Let"s see who will be embarra.s.sed."
"Second Grandpa ..."
At the mention of li Changsheng, Li Hongyu"s eyes were a little complicated.
She had heard of her second grandfather"s legend. Ever since li Changsheng had come out of the Nanjiang catacombs, old Li had also been a legendary figure.
He had once wielded his sword to rule the world and made a name for himself. A rank-5 martial artist who had obtained the t.i.tle of "longevity swordsman" was not something that ordinary people could do.
Later on, due to his injuries, he went silent for ten years.
He did not appear for ten years, but once he did, it was earth-shattering, forging a golden body and achieving rank-8.
Ordinary people did not know much. In the circle, they had to add "rank-6 killing rank-8 with a sword."
These legends were still very popular in mcmau.
After all, this was mcmau"s territory.
Now, in mcmau"s affiliated high school, the most famous martial artists were not those unknown paragons or rank-8 and 9 martial artists. One was li Changsheng, and the other was Fang ping.
These two people were much more famous than Wu kuishan.
Fang ping saw her complicated tone and smiled without saying anything. He only said with some emotion, "It"s the martial Sciences exam again. Time really flies."
It had been two whole years!
He had just finished sighing when Fang Yuan suddenly whispered,"Brother ..."
"What?"
"That ..."
Fang Yuan"s expression was uneasy as she whispered,"That ... That I signed up for this year"s martial Sciences exam ..."
Fang Ping"s expression changed. He frowned slightly and said, "Aren"t you just in your first year of high school?"
"Due to the expansion of the martial arts universities this year, anyone who meets the requirements can apply. "I fit the criteria too ... Our teacher also said that I"m already an official martial artist. The requirements for cultural studies have been lowered. The main thing is still vitality ..."
Fang Ping"s expression changed. Frowning, he said, "It"s the same whether you go to a martial arts university or not! It"s good to stay in high school for another two years!"
"If you go to a martial arts university, you"ll have to come into contact with the catacombs officially.
Mcmau had now opened up the catacombs course to the entire school. Fang ping did not wish for Fang Yuan to enter a martial arts university now.
Fang Yuan was 16 years old this year. Fang ping hoped that she could enjoy it for another two years.
"Once they know everything about the catacombs, it"s impossible for them to have the mentality they have now.
"Besides, martial arts university martial artists might have to start entering the catacombs when they"re rank-2 or rank-3.
"In fact, mcmau is already in the midst of discussion. Rank-1 martial artists can also be brought into the catacombs to have a look first. If they don"t leave the city, they can just stay in the catacombs to have a look.
But even if it was in the city, there was no danger?
In the catacombs, city attacks were a common occurrence.
He, Fang ping, had cultivated so hard and put his life on the line. What was it for?
Was he really so great that he did it for all mankind?
Even if the sky collapsed, there would still be a tall man to hold it up. He was not qualified to do so. He only hoped that his family could live a better and safer life under his protection.
And now, Fang Yuan actually wanted to take the martial Sciences exam!
Fang ping was in a bad mood. Fang Yuan pouted, bit her lip, and mumbled,"Brother, I"m not a child anymore! "Once you enter a martial arts university, you"ll have to fight and carry out missions. I know that.
"But I"m already a martial artist, alright!
Xiaoya also signed up this time, and teacher song didn"t say anything ..."
Fang ping snorted."Instructor song is instructor song. I am me. You"re not allowed to sign up, and you"re not allowed to take the exam!"
"Brother!"
"Alright, I"m tired. I"ll go rest first. You guys have fun."
Fang ping did not say anything more and went straight into the house.
As soon as he left, Fang Yuan looked annoyed and said unhappily,""He"s always treating me like a child! "I"m already an official martial artist. I can only improve faster and become stronger if I go to a martial arts university ..."
"Roly Poly."
Song ya consoled him softly,"big brother Fang is definitely doing this for your own good." "Actually, when I told him that I wanted to apply for the martial Sciences exam, my dad didn"t say anything for a few days. He was a little unhappy.
"Actually ... Actually, my dad also said before that brother Fang and the other martial arts university students have been under a lot of pressure these past few years.
Especially big brother Fang and the other prodigy martial artists, they were under more pressure than anyone else.
Roly Poly, if you really can"t do it, just forget it. "
Fang Yuan pouted and said sulkily,"I know!" The last time he went back, he was attacked. He ... He was seriously injured! I"ve been sleeping in a cotton-padded jacket for many days ..."
Fang Yuan"s eyes were red as she said,"I just want to get into a martial arts university as soon as possible and become stronger. At least I won"t be unable to run." If my parents and I weren"t there the last time, he could have run away ..."
Fang Yuan"s eyes reddened even more."He"s always like this. He doesn"t say anything but good things. He just talks about how amazing he is! The last time teacher brought us to see those grandpas and grandmas ... Many of them were disabled!
Many people had died!
"Many mcmau teachers died last year, and it"s the same this year!
He never said this when he came back!
"Those grandpas and grandmas know that I"m Fang Ping"s younger sister. They"re all especially nice to me, saying that my brother has brought honor to mcmau, and has helped mcmau do many great things ...
"My brother has only been in mcmau for two years and he"s already a rank-6 martial artist. I"m not an idiot. It"s not that easy!"
"Roly Poly ..."
"Then you should talk to brother Fang," Li Hongyu said softly."He"ll definitely understand you."
"I won "t!"
"He"s a male chauvinist through and through,"Fang Yuan said angrily," anyway, he"s enough! He kept lying to me that I"m not talented enough and that I have no future in martial arts.
"The teacher said that I"m twice-honed, which means I"m very talented!"
"Pfft ..."
Song ya and the other girl could not help but laugh.
……
Upstairs.
Fang ping shook his head lightly, the corners of his lips lifting slightly.
"Stupid girl, can"t you just stay at home and go shopping and watch movies with your cla.s.smates when you"re free?"
This girl wanted to share his burden?
In any case, Fang ping had made up his mind to at least follow the prescribed order. He would not let this girl enter a martial arts university before she was 18 years old.
He would think about it when he was 18 years old.
With him around, he would have a lot of cultivation resources for this girl. Fang ping would rather train her to become a qi and blood martial artist ...
Thinking of this, Fang ping suddenly laughed at himself.
As expected, people were all the same.
Before this, although Fang ping did not look down on people like Jiang Chao, they were like flowers in a greenhouse. In the end, Fang ping still did not think much of them.
The people he had his eyes on were people like w.a.n.g Jinyang, people like Qin Fengqing who were willing to risk their lives, and martial artists who were fighting b.l.o.o.d.y battles in the catacombs.
But now that he thought about it, why did a martial artist do all this?
It was all for the sake of his family!
If he, Fang ping, could not bear to part with his sister, it was normal for those paragons to be reluctant to part with their descendants.
"As expected, from the perspective of a bystander, one"s mentality is not so balanced. "When the time comes, I"m afraid that others will also think the same way when they see my sister."
Fang ping shook his head. He knew that this might not be a good thing for Fang Yuan, but he did not want to change his mind.
"Maybe ... I can be like the people in star suppression city. When my sister reaches rank-6, I can let her slowly train?
"Gungun has reached rank-6 ... Maybe I"ll be at the Paragon then?"
Fang ping calculated in his heart for a while, and a smile appeared on his face. It was hard to say.
……
After staying at home for two days, Fang Yuan was still sulking at him, and Fang ping could not be bothered to pay attention to her.
The angrier this girl was, the more she liked to pout.
The more she pouted, the cuter and chubbier her little round face became. Fang ping could not wait for her to be angry for a few more days. It felt so good to pinch, so happy that Fang ping deliberately provoked the girl a few times.
In the end, the happier he was, the angrier Fang Yuan got. Even when Fang ping left, this girl was still angry.
……
It was already May 5th when he returned to school.
There were two things that he had to deal with when he returned to school.
"First, the government has sent someone to mcmau. In the end, the government can"t go back on their word.
This time, on one hand, it was to pay back Fang Ping"s money, and on the other hand, it was to award the medal.
Fang ping had really obtained an advanced Medal of Honor!
"It"s not just a medal. There are also some other rewards. In the Tiannan catacombs, he destroyed a Royal City. This is a great merit.
The government couldn"t afford to reward them with too many material things, but there was no discount on things related to honor.
This was the first thing. The second thing was that Chen Yunxi had come out of the catacombs.
She had left Magic City even earlier than Fang ping, on the 25th of April.
It was only today that she had left the catacombs in South Capital.
Ten days was not too long, but it was not short either.
As soon as they came out of the catacombs, Chen Yunxi gave Fang ping a call. On the way to school, Chen Yunxi was still excited and said happily,""Fang ping, I"m an upper-stage rank-4 now!"
"So fast?"
Fang ping was indeed a little surprised, or rather surprised.
"When did Chen Yunxi enter rank-4?
The second martial arts university Champions.h.i.+p was held in December, and only five months had pa.s.sed since then.
More than five months was a very long time for Fang ping.
However, although Chen Yunxi"s talent was not bad, the speed at which she went from a beginner to an upper-stage rank-4 in just over five months was still a little scary.
Ccmau"s Han Xu, a true thrice-honed martial artist, was still middle-stage rank-4, right?
Chen Yunxi was a little excited when she heard Fang Ping"s surprised tone. Even Fang ping was shocked.
At the thought of this, Chen Yunxi said in high spirits,""Yes, really! Didn"t you give me some hundred-tempering fruits before? Then, when I came to scmau, my grandfather left me some energy fruits that can help me temper my five internal organs.
"In the catacombs in South Capital, I partic.i.p.ated in a few small-scale hunting battles. After a few battles, I digested these energy fruits, and I was done honing my heart."
Upper-stage rank-4 required the completion of heart-honing.
"The most difficult thing for martial artists at rank-4 is actually to hone their hearts.
w.a.n.g Jinyang and the others had actually been stuck at middle-stage rank-4 for a long time.
On the contrary, after he entered upper-stage rank-4, he advanced by leaps and bounds.
This was related to their resuscitation. In fact, it was also because the heart had been honed, and the subsequent steps were simpler.
Although the hundred-honing fruit and those energy fruits could speed up the tempering process, Chen Yunxi"s progress from the middle-tier to the upper-tier was still too fast.
Fang ping was a little confused,"so simple?" The energy fruit your grandfather gave you is better than the hundred-honing fruit?"
Is that true?
Although the hundred-honing fruit was not a high-grade energy fruit, it was extremely rare. To rank-4 and 5 martial artists, the hundred-honing fruit was the most suitable for honing the five viscera and six bowels.
Fang ping did not expect old Chen to have an even better energy fruit.
On the other end of the phone, Chen Yunxi stammered,""Anyway, it"s very good. The effect is great!"
"Oh, really? Where are you now? Is your grandfather here?"
"Grandpa isn"t here ... Eh, Grandpa, when did you come?"
On the other end of the line, Chen Yunxi"s face was full of surprise. She had just come out of the catacombs, and her grandfather had actually come?
Chen yaoting"s face was slightly pale. He glanced at his granddaughter and said helplessly,"You just came out of the catacombs. You didn"t even call home. You only know how to call outsiders. You ..."
He wanted to kill ... Fang ping with a slap.
There was no need to kill his own granddaughter.
Chen Yunxi was a little embarra.s.sed and her face turned red. Chen yaoting smiled and pa.s.sed the phone in her hand to him. When he took the phone, he said in an unfriendly tone,"I have something to do. I"ll hang up first. You, be careful!"
After saying that, Chen yaoting hung up the phone.
Fang ping was speechless. "Old man, you"re too arrogant. You"re so arrogant that I wanted to say I"ll help you ... Now, I"ll have to reconsider."
……
Outside the catacombs in South Capital.
Chen yaoting"s eyes were slightly complicated. He glanced at his granddaughter and suddenly said angrily,"That kid is already a rank-6. He has his own trump card and his own secrets. This time, he blew up a Royal City in the catacombs and killed several rank-9s!
You want to learn from him?
I told you to cultivate properly, not to throw your life away!
"Upper-stage rank-4 ... For upper-stage rank-4, you ..."
Chen yaoting"s heart ached and he was angry. He gritted his teeth and shouted,"Are you trying to anger me to death? Your heart was punched through ... If old Zhang hadn"t found you ... You would have been dead!
You wretched girl, are you trying to anger me to death?
Who told you to mess around!
Who allowed you to go out alone!
"Next, do you want to try shattering the other four of the five internal organs and try to enter peak rank-4 immediately?"
"Grandfather, isn"t that suicide? I don"t want to die," Chen Yunxi said timidly.
"You ..."
Chen yaoting had a splitting headache. "Nonsense, you also know that you"re courting death?"
Seeing that her grandfather was on the verge of exploding in anger, Chen Yunxi immediately said,""Grandpa, it was an accident. I didn"t do it on purpose ..." She said.
Chen yaoting snorted coldly and said with a frown,"Girl, there"s no need to deliberately pursue the improvement of strength! "I"m already very happy that you"ve become a rank-4 martial artist at this time.
Don"t compare yourself to those freaks. They all have their own trump cards and secrets. There are some things that you can"t achieve by risking your life. "
"Senior Brother Qin didn "t."
Chen Yunxi replied in a low voice.
Chen yaoting was speechless."He"s two years older than you. You know that he doesn"t have all these. Look at him again. Which time hasn"t he been seeking his own death? he"s lucky that he didn"t die, but does everyone have his luck?
"Isn"t he only middle-stage rank-5 now? when you reach his age, even if you cultivate according to the prescribed order, you"ll be close to middle-stage rank-5. "
"But senior Brother Qin"s talent isn"t good. He"s only once-honed, while I"m almost thrice-honed. He"s already middle-stage rank-5 in his senior year, so I need to be at least peak rank-5 or rank-6 ..."
"You ..."
"Grandfather, martial artists must fight. Isn"t this what you say every day at scmau?"
"I ..."
"Grandpa, I"m a martial artist too, and a middle-ranked one at that. Since I"m a martial artist, of course I"ll fight for it!"
"You ..."
"Grandpa ..."
"Shut up!"
Chen yaoting was about to explode from anger. He said angrily, "Don"t learn from that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Fang ping. In the past, you couldn"t even say a single word after holding it in for half a day. Now, you can speak better than me!"
Chen yaoting was infuriated, but Fang ping was the one he was angry at.
Only that kid, Fang ping, could speak eloquently and make people speechless.
Look at how his own granddaughter had been brought up!
In the past, she was so shy and timid. One look at her and one would feel pity for her. He was afraid that his precious granddaughter would be bullied.
And now?
He actually tried to reason with me!
Martial artists must fight for it!
When I said this, your father wasn"t even born yet. Do I need you to teach me?
With this anger, Chen yaoting"s injuries flared up, and his face turned even paler.
Seeing this, Chen Yunxi was a little worried. She quickly said,"Grandpa, you"re injured?"
"I"m fine ..."
"Grandfather, your ... Your golden body seems to have dimmed!" Chen Yunxi became nervous. She suddenly gritted her teeth and said,"Grandfather, did Fang ping obtain any life essence from his trip to the catacombs this time?"
Chen yaoting was surprised. "You know about this too?"
Seeing Chen yaoting"s surprise, Chen Yunxi was overjoyed and said,"Grandpa, does he have any more? I"ll call and ask him to lend you some, and you can just write him an IOU ..."
Chen yaoting was dumbfounded!
I"ve already signed an IOU of 2 billion!
"That"s not the point. Your Grandpa is about to be finished. At this time, you went to borrow some life essence from that kid, and your first thought was to ask me to continue writing IOUs. What were you thinking?
I can"t have this granddaughter anymore!
Chen yaoting"s heart suddenly ached. "She hasn"t even said that she"s dating you, and you"re already treating yourself as a member of the Fang family?"
Chen yaoting"s face was unkind. He snorted coldly and said,"Even if this old man dies, I won"t eat food that is given to me!"
Old Chen was extremely angry. If that brat was really interested in you, he would have taken the initiative to mention the life essence in his hands.
Even if he did not mention it now, he, old Chen, was also a person who wanted face. He was not as shameless as Wu kuishan or li Changsheng.
[PS: I"m adjusting my thoughts a little.] I"ll also promote a new book, a bite of Hogwart, fantasy niche. Those who like it can go and read it ...
