Chapter 2: The Grand Situation Will Begin

There is no need for excessive courtesy, but did Second Sister call for you? Is there something you need?

Indeed, this Fang Qingshan is no longer the original Fang Qingshan

Due to health reasons, Fang Qingshan, although he did not give up on himself, was still quite self-conscious. Every time Fang Qingwei invited him to go out for a trip, he would invariably refuse. After several refusals, even Fang Yue and the other servants understood that it was merely a formality. However, unexpectedly, Fang Qingshan actually agreed, leaving Fang Yue momentarily taken aback.

Is the Third Young Master available? This humble servant, Fang Yue, requests an audience

Fortunately, he did not die at that moment; his soul was carried by the chessboard through time and space, arriving in the immortal world depicted in a novel once read by Fang Qingshan, and he took possession of the body of a young master from the Fang family who had not yet made an appearance, marking the beginning of it all

The person remains the same, but the core has changed.

Until this moment, Fang Qingshan's tone had taken on a hint of peculiarity. He nodded and said, "You go and reply to Second Sister, just say that it's good to go for a walk!"

Fortunately, whether in the past or present, Fang Qingshan has always been quite tolerant towards the two of them, as long as they do not make any principled mistakes

Thank you, young master; I shall take my leave now

Oh? Is that so

In response to the Third Young Master, it is precisely the Second Young Lady who has summoned me here

At present, Fang Qingshan is the last practitioner in the era of decline on the Water Blue Planet

If this were to happen in another place, with other masters, it is likely that the two would face severe punishment at the very least, or even be killed outright.

Gazing into the distance, Fang Qingshan murmured to himself

It is unclear whether it was Fang Qingshan's persistence that moved the heavens, or if the universe itself recognized that it had reached a point where change was necessary, lest it completely abandon all hope of recovery.

At one moment, while Fang Qingshan was seeking an opportunity for a breakthrough in the Kunlun Mountains, he suddenly encountered a great upheaval, with the earth shaking and the mountains trembling, radiant clouds filling the sky, celestial energy soaring, the sound of heavenly music resounding, and golden flowers drifting down, as if heaven and earth were celebrating. The entire world was stirred, and a chessboard rose into the sky, crashing directly onto him.

Ah! It is Sister Moon who has arrived

Although he sensed someone approaching, Fang Qingshan's expression showed no change whatsoever. He paused slightly with his chopsticks, then continued eating, and even the two maidservants beside him did not notice the slightest hint of anything unusual

Alas, how sorrowful it is, for such a person as this, with whom shall I share my thoughts!

At this moment, Fang Yue's behavior, to put it mildly, can be described as a lack of concentration. How can one fulfill their duties for the master in such a state? To put it more seriously, it indicates a disregard for the Third Young Master and a contempt for the master’s household, which would be a grave offense

The second young lady asked me to inform you that the eldest young lady is likely to return in the next few days. Additionally, the weather today is quite pleasant, making it an excellent opportunity for hunting. She asked me to inquire whether the third young master would like to go for a stroll.

"It's fine!" Fang Qingshan waved his hand, took the handkerchief that Fang Ling handed over, wiped his mouth, and said in a tone that showed no change whatsoever, "It's nothing, just be careful in the future."

Of course, she is different from Fang Ling and Fang Qin; what she fears is not Fang Qingshan, but Fang Qingwei. If this matter were to come to her knowledge, her fate would be all too predictable.

In terms of cultivation, one year ago, Fang Qingshan was merely at the level of health preservation, not even comparable to Fang Ling and Fang Qin. However, over the course of this year, the two have witnessed with their own eyes how Fang Qingshan has made remarkable progress, advancing three levels in total.

Fang Ling and Fang Qin, upon hearing Fang Yue's words, immediately looked anxious. They secretly tugged at Fang Yue's hem and shook their heads, yet they did not dare to speak up

I will soon meet my elder sister, the reincarnation of the electric mother, and that Fang Han, the protagonist! Hehe, the grand scheme is about to unfold

"Young master, I seek to atone for my sins, the maid has just..." Fang Yue hurriedly expressed her apologies

After Fang Yue left, Fang Ling and the others carefully removed the items from the table mountain. They looked at Fang Qingshan, their eyes gazing into the distance, yet lacking focus, knowing he was deep in thought. They did not disturb him and quietly withdrew.

Fang Ling and Fang Qin were so pleased to hear the arrival of someone for a very simple reason. It had been mentioned before that water flows downward and people strive to ascend. Fang Qingshan, due to inherent reasons, had poor cultivation aptitude. Although there was no situation of subjugation, it was evident that no one held high hopes for him. As a result, Fang Qin and Fang Ling, who followed Fang Qingshan, were naturally not accepted by the other servants.

The consequences are evident; although Fang Qingshan is the only practitioner in the era of decline, he is still a mortal being and cannot withstand such a precious blow, resulting in his immediate obliteration.

Having made such a significant blunder, Fang Yue could no longer stay and hurriedly took her leave.

It is unfortunate that since this is the age of decline, naturally, the immortals and deities do not exist, and cultivation becomes difficult to continue. Although Fang Qingshan possesses a firm will and unwavering determination, having traversed the green mountains, he has grown old, and his level of cultivation still shows little progress.

Although the young master remains the same as before, treating the two of them just as he did initially, Fang Ling and Fang Qin, who have been in close proximity to Fang Qingshan, naturally know that he has changed since a year ago

I have met the Third Young Master

Hmm

Although many people in the household do not have a favorable view of this sickly young master, and even she herself feels regret for the two sisters, Fang Ling and Fang Qin, due to Fang Qingwei's influence, Fang Yue does not dare to show the slightest disrespect and respectfully replies

The door of the small courtyard was knocked, and a pleasant sound rang out

Fang Yue walked into the main room and saw Fang Qingshan leisurely eating breakfast, his movements graceful and his demeanor serene. Although he still appeared to be a frail scholar, Fang Yue always felt that something was amiss, as if he possessed an extra measure of vitality.

"Hmm, go ahead, I will follow shortly!" Fang Qingshan nodded.

Alright! Since the young master is not going, I will return to the young lady!

Fang Yue nodded slightly and instinctively replied

Before long, Fang Ling and Fang Qin entered, leading a young girl with them

Although many thoughts crossed my mind, none were reflected on my face

Having been here for over a year, it seems that my plans can now commence

Fang Qingxue is coming back, it seems that the overall situation is about to unfold

Fang Qingshan's demeanor was gentle as he nodded slowly and unhurriedly

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Due to Fang Qingwei's occasional visits to see her younger brother, the people around her naturally became familiar with Fang Ling and Fang Qin, forming one of the few close sisterly bonds.

Without waiting for Fang Qingshan to speak, Fang Ling and Fang Qin happily ran out

After being reminded by Fang Ling and Fang Qin, Fang Yue finally came to her senses. Reflecting on her recent actions, her face turned a mix of green and purple, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

Without mentioning anything else, just regarding Fang Qingshan's body, although it still appears the same on the outside, internally it has actually mostly recovered. However, the onset of illness is like a mountain collapsing, while recovery is akin to pulling silk. On the surface, he still looks quite unwell.

Thus, although the usually serene Qing Mountain has not undergone any other changes, it has imperceptibly imparted a sense of majesty to the two individuals, exuding an authority that does not require anger, making them both dare not overstep their bounds.
