Chapter 4 Assistance

Fortunately, the person chosen for me by the Heavenly Chessboard, although lacking in innate talent and not receiving much attention, at least possesses a dignified character and is well-fed and clothed

Upon seeing this, Fang Qingshan, although he had never met Fang Han, immediately understood that this was Fang Han

Hmph, a dog looks down on people! Upon witnessing this scene, even the usually gentle Fang Qin could not help but feel indignant on behalf of Fang Qingshan

At the same time, I cannot help but exclaim, when heaven is about to bestow a great responsibility upon a person, it must first temper their will, labor their muscles and bones, starve their body, and expose them to hardship, thus disrupting their actions. This is to strengthen their resolve and enhance their capabilities, and indeed, it has proven to be true.

Upon hearing that he would no longer be subjected to the whip, Fang Han felt relieved and quickly bowed in gratitude, swearing an oath to the heavens

Alright, the time is almost here. Third brother, let's set off!" Fang Qingwei said to Fang Qingshan.

One cannot help but think that upon her return, the eldest sister may have brought back some miraculous elixir, and one hopes that it does not disappoint the third brother

Thank you, Second Miss, Third Young Master, I will certainly remember this and will not dare to be negligent for even a moment

Since that is the case, very well! Although countless thoughts raced through her mind, Fang Qingwei did not show any sign of it on her face. She looked at Fang Qingshan and comforted him, saying, "Third brother, do not be disheartened. This time, when elder sister returns, there may very well be good news."

Initially, Fang Qingwei's complexion indeed turned somewhat ashen. Today, in front of so many outsiders, a servant had embarrassed themselves, and someone had provoked her authority, causing her to lose face. However, when she saw that it was her third younger brother, her expression immediately softened. In particular, without waiting for Fang Qingshan to approach, Fang Qingwei took the initiative to greet him, leaving the onlookers, who were unaware of the situation, astonished and questioning Fang Qingshan's identity.

Looking at Fang Qingshan, Fang Qingwei teased

Fang Qingshan shook his head with a smile, pointing at Fang Han

Second sister is joking!

Third brother, you have finally decided to leave your boudoir!

At this moment, a gentle yet imposing voice resonated in the ears of the crowd. Following the sound, they saw a somewhat slender young gentleman approaching, accompanied by two maidservants. It was indeed Fang Qingshan who had spoken.

"It is!" A maid beside her received the command, immediately picked up the riding whip, and was about to strike fiercely at Fang Han.

You have done well in raising my steed, which shows that you are diligent and responsible in your daily duties. However..." Fang Qingwei looked down from her elevated position, seated on the thousand-mile snow, coldly staring at the young man kneeling before her, and said lightly: "Today, you have failed in your duties. I do not wish to inquire why; I only know that rewards must be given for merit and punishments for faults. Since you have made a mistake, you must accept the consequences. This time, considering it is your first offense and that you have no merits but have endured hardships, I will grant you ten lashes as a warning to others. Do you accept this?"

Today, I finally managed to step out for a while, but I must encounter blood, which seems ominous. Therefore, I sought a favor from my second sister, asking if we could avoid this person for a while

Medicine can be three parts poison; what miraculous remedy can compare to the restoration of fortune? Although Fang Qingshan now appears no different from before, his congenital deficiencies were repaired in that very moment of his crossing over, using the last remnants of fortune by the Celestial Chessboard.

Fang Qingshan brought Fang Ling and Fang Qin to the racetrack, and from a distance, they could hear Fang Qingwei's voice, devoid of any emotion.

Fang Qingshan, due to his usual habits of rarely stepping out of the main door except for significant events such as ancestor worship, was not easily recognized even by many of his servants. Therefore, upon seeing such a strange and frail man daring to interrupt Fang Qingwei, a thought of great audacity arose in his heart, accompanied by a hint of pity in his gaze.

Fang Qingshan couldn't help but chuckle to himself, as he naturally knew what kind of person Fang Han was. Indeed, life is like a play, entirely dependent on acting.

The reason he accepted the invitation to come today is not to accompany Fang Qingwei for leisure and hunting; his true intention lies not in the wine, but in Fang Han. Naturally, he cannot bear to see him suffer from a beating

At the same time, everyone suddenly realized that this person was the sickly one from the Fang family. Upon learning the identity of the visitor, the curiosity and desire to ingratiate that had initially arisen were instantly cast aside.

The person following Fang Qingwei was quite familiar with Fang Qingshan and knew that this young lady had a very good attitude towards this young man, so they did not dare to act presumptuously. Fang Qiu, holding the whip, couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, looking at Fang Qingwei.

She waved her hand, signaling Fang Qiu to come back. Fang Qingwei cast a faint glance at Fang Han and said, "Since the Third Young Master has interceded for you, let this matter be noted for today. In the future, you must be careful and prudent; otherwise, when the time comes, both will be punished. Do not say that you were not warned."

Although Fang Qingwei is a woman and still young, she possesses good aptitude for cultivation. Her father is the head of the Fang family and the governor of Longyuan Province, holding a high position of power. Moreover, her elder sister has joined the prestigious Yuhua Sect among the Ten Great Sects, which grants her considerable authority within the Fang family

Hehe! Fang Qingshan chuckled lightly, looking at a group of young gentlemen and ladies in the distance as if he did not see them. He said淡淡地说道, "Not this time. Since there are outsiders present, I shall not go. Perhaps next time. I apologize for the cancellation and hope my second sister will understand"

She knows that the reason for this is entirely due to her younger brother's lack of cultivation aptitude

Hmm? Fang Qingwei looked towards the direction of Fang Qingshan's gaze, and couldn't help but let out a quiet sigh. That group of people, those with deeper backgrounds, did not show it on their faces; they merely wore faint smiles, neither distant nor overly familiar. In contrast, those with shallower backgrounds displayed a subtle indifference.

From a distance, one can see a servant kneeling on the ground, his head bobbing like garlic being pounded, his voice filled with sincere trepidation, "I submit, your humble servant!"

Yet Fang Qingshan, whose name is not well-known, actually dared to challenge her authority, which seemed to everyone as a blatant disregard for life.

Very well! Hearing Fang Han did not refute her and directly admitted his mistake, Fang Qingwei's originally expressionless face softened slightly. She waved her sleeve and said, "In that case, Fang Qiu!"

I hope so!" Fang Qingshan nodded in agreement.

Truly, her smile is as radiant as a flower, dazzling the titanium alloy eyes all around.

That is also acceptable. In response, Fang Qingwei nodded indifferently; after all, it was just a servant. Whether to beat or scold, to spare or release, it was all inconsequential. Naturally, Fang Qingwei would not undermine Fang Qingshan's face.

With the departure of Fang Qingwei and her group, only Fang Ling, Fang Qin, and Fang Han remained at the scene, while the others left as if nothing had happened

Wait a moment

After exchanging a few words with Fang Qingshan, Fang Qingwei led the group of young gentlemen and ladies away, riding fiercely like a dragon.

Although the Fang family's strength is considerable, the combined power of this group of young masters and ladies should not be underestimated. Fang Qingwei naturally cannot hold a grudge against them simply because they look down on her brother. Moreover, it is not mockery or sarcasm; they merely do not wish to associate with him. Instead, she must work to win them over for the sake of her elders. This is, in fact, the way of life for the children of prominent families.
