Fang Sheng was well aware of Fang Chen's strength. The Fang family had sent him to the Azure Edge Sword Sect because they were worried that the Ye family would plot against him.
But the news from the Azure Edge Sword Sect was that Fang Chen's talent was too poor. He was practically a piece of trash.
Even so, the Fang family still allowed Fang Chen to stay in the Azure Edge Sword Sect. They thought that this would ensure Fang Chen's safety.
But they were wrong.
The dangers Fang Chen had experienced in the Azure Edge Sword Sect were no less than the dangers in the Fang family.
Hearing Cousin Fang Sheng's words, Fang Chen chuckled. He lightly patted Cousin Fang Sheng's shoulder and said, "Brother Sheng, leave it to me."
Fang Sheng was about to say something when Ye Zhangge interrupted him.
"Leave it to you, Fang Chen. You're just a piece of trash. I'm standing right here. What can you do to me?" Ye Changge sneered.
"Ye Changge, do you think you're strong?" Fang Chen countered with a question.
Ye Changge didn't know what Fang Chen was up to. He nodded and said, "Hmph, even though I'm only a martial artist at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage, I'm still stronger than some trash."
Ye Changge's mockery didn't anger Fang Chen.
That was because Fang Chen didn't care to get angry with Ye Changge.
"Oh, then how about I make a bet with you?" Fang Chen smiled.
"What kind of bet?" Ye Changge stared at Fang Chen.
"The two of us will fight. If you lose, kneel down and kowtow to Brother Sheng in apology," Fang Chen said directly.
Hearing Fang Chen's words, the surrounding cultivators couldn't help but shake their heads. The news that Fang Chen was a piece of trash had long since spread throughout Black Cloud City.
They thought that Fang Chen was too arrogant, and that he wasn't a match for Ye Changge.
Even Manager Li and the others couldn't help but break out in cold sweat for Fang Chen. "Young Master Fang, let's forget about it. Let's go back to the clan first."
"That's right, Chen Zi. You're no match for Ye Zhangge," Fang Sheng reminded him in a low voice.
Fang Chen ignored the persuasion of Manager Li and the others. He stared straight at Ye Zhangge and asked, "Ye Zhangge, do you not dare to accept my challenge?"
Fang Chen's words made Ye Changge burst out laughing.
"Hahaha, I, Ye Changge, dare not accept your challenge. A piece of trash dares to challenge me, Ye Changge? What a joke!" Ye Changge laughed loudly.
"What if you lose?" Ye Zhangge laughed wildly for a while, then stopped and icily asked.
"I won't lose," Fang Chen said.
"If you lose, you have to call me father. How about it?" sneered Ye Changge. He didn't understand where Fang Chen had gotten his courage from.
"Alright."
Fang Chen didn't waste any more words. He directly agreed.
Hearing the conversation between the two of them, the onlookers all backed away, leaving enough space for the two of them.
Manager Li didn't want to see Fang Chen and Ye Changge fight, but since things had already gotten to this point, there was no way for him to persuade them otherwise. He could only patiently wait.
"Fang Chen, I'll let you know the difference between us." Ye Changge icily smiled.
"Can we start?" asked Fang Chen.
"Of course."
Whoosh.
Ye Changge had only just finished speaking when he sensed an illusion. In the next moment, he let out a miserable cry. Everyone looked over and saw Ye Changge's body had long since collapsed to the ground.
"How is this possible?!"
All the onlookers were shocked. They hadn't even seen how Fang Chen had attacked before Ye Changge collapsed to the ground.
"Ah, Fang Chen, you dare sneak attack me?!"
Ye Changge crawled up from the ground, his face filled with fury.
"I'm going to kill you!"
Ye Changge clenched his fists and used his strongest fist technique, bombarding Fang Chen.
Bang!
Unfortunately, he wasn't even able to touch Fang Chen's body before he was sent flying again.
This time, Ye Changge didn't crawl back up because he was injured. Fang Chen hadn't held back.
What kind of joke was this? Even Shangguan Bu, who was at the fifth level of Qi Refinement, was killed by Fang Chen. Why would Fang Chen care about a mere fourth level Qi Refinement martial artist?
Fang Chen's swift and decisive defeat of Ye Changge shocked countless onlookers. They were all astonished.
"Heavens, isn't Fang Chen a trash? How could he be so strong?"
"Could it be that Fang Chen has been hiding his strength all this time?"
Many of the onlookers had different opinions.
The happiest people were Manager Li and Fang Sheng. After they recovered from their shock, their hearts were filled with doubt.
"Chen 'er's strength!" Fang Sheng exclaimed.
"How could young master Fang be so strong?" Manager Li also exclaimed.
"You've lost."
Fang Chen ignored everyone's discussion. His pitch-black eyes stared at Ye Changge as he spoke coldly.
Hearing Fang Chen's words, Ye Changge felt humiliated for the first time.
"Hmph, I definitely won't apologize to Fang Sheng." Ye Changge felt humiliated and angrily said.
Bang!
Just as Ye Changge finished speaking, he was struck by a fist. His head instantly split open and blood flowed out.
Ah!
Ye Changge let out a miserable cry. His eyes were filled with hatred as he stared at Fang Chen. He wanted nothing more than to eat Fang Chen alive.
Bang!
Fist after fist smashed into Ye Changge's head. Soon, Ye Changge's head was completely split open and blood flowed out. If the onlookers hadn't known that this person was Ye Changge, they wouldn't have been able to recognize him.
At this moment, the onlookers were completely shocked.
The Fang family's trash was beating up the Ye family's genius. Just what was going on?
Finally, after a quarter hour, Ye Changge stared at his head covered in blood and compromised.
"I apologize."
Ye Chang Ge finally opened his mouth to speak after letting out a miserable cry.
If this continued, he would die. Although he hated Fang Chen, his life was more important right now.
Plop.
Ye Changge knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Fang Sheng. "I'm sorry, I was wrong."
After saying that, Ye Changge felt countless gazes on him. Feeling humiliated, he stood up and fiercely glared at Fang Chen. Then he quickly disappeared from the street.
After Ye Changge left, Fang Chen and the others also rushed back to the Fang family's residence.
On the way, Fang Sheng, Manager Li, and the others all had a whole new level of respect for Fang Chen. They endlessly praised him.
"Chen 'er, when did you become so strong?" Fang Sheng couldn't help asking.
"Yes, everyone says young master Fang is trash. But young master Fang is actually a genius," said Manager Li.
In response, Fang Chen just smiled and didn't say anything.
After walking for a while, a luxurious residence finally appeared in their line of sight.
Above this mansion, there was a golden plaque. On the golden plaque, two bold and powerful words were written: Fang Mansion.
Fang Chen stopped. Looking at the Fang residence, many memories appeared in his mind.
In the end, Fang Chen bitterly smiled and stepped into the Fang family's residence.
News of Fang Chen's return quickly spread throughout the Fang family. In just a moment, Fang Chen was brought to his father's study by Manager Li.
"Young master Fang, master is in the study. You can go take a look." Manager Li directly left after saying that.
Fang Chen knocked on the study's door. A voice came from inside, and then Fang Chen entered.
What entered his eyes was a middle-aged man sitting in an armchair. Between his eyebrows was a bit dignified. Fang Chen felt that this middle-aged man's face was very similar to his own.
'This is father, right?'
Fang Chen thought inwardly.
At this moment, Fang Tianyu spoke.
"Chen 'er, you're back."
Fang Tianyu's tone contained endless vicissitudes of life. However, after seeing his son return, there was still a trace of a smile in his eyes.
"Father!"
Fang Chen shouted in a hoarse voice. Although he had transmigrated, this was the first time he felt the warmth of home in the Ancient Sword Continent.
As time passed, Fang Chen gradually accepted the memories of this body's original owner. Now that he saw Fang Tianyu, he sighed in his heart.
"Chen 'er, the reason I called you back this time is because of two things." Fang Tianyu glanced at Fang Chen and nodded in satisfaction.
"Father, what's the matter?" Fang Chen vaguely felt that the reason the patriarch called him back this time should be related to the Ye family's marriage.
Fang Tianyu carefully sized up his son and found that his son had changed a lot.
"Chen 'er, your mother, she …" When Fang Tianyu mentioned Fang Chen's mother, his face was filled with helplessness.
"Father, what happened to my mother?" Fang Chen anxiously asked.
"A month ago, your mother was taken away by a group of mysterious experts," said Fang Tianyu slowly.
"What happened to those mysterious experts?" asked Fang Chen.
Fang Tianyu's expression was a bit desolate. After a long time, he finally spoke.
"Chen 'er, you're already fifteen years old. There are some things I should tell you," said Fang Tianyu.
Fang Chen didn't say anything. He carefully listened.
"Fifteen years ago, when I was still a young master of the Fang family, I met your mother when I was traveling the Ancient Sword Continent." Fang Tianyu began to recall the past.
"At that time, your mother was heavily injured, and I saved her. Later on, love grew between us, and your mother married me. Then she gave birth to you.
"Later, your mother told me that her family's power was extremely huge. There would be a day when they would take her back. She didn't want to leave us." Fang Tianyu felt powerless when he said this.
"I originally thought that a small place like Black Cloud City wouldn't be discovered by others. But in the end, it was still discovered," said Fang Tianyu.
After hearing Fang Tianyu's words, Fang Chen also understood. His mother's background was definitely very mysterious, and that so-called clan of his mother was also very powerful.
"Those mysterious experts who took mother away should be from her family, right?" asked Fang Chen.
"When I faced them, I didn't even have the ability to attack. They were too strong," said Fang Tianyu absent-mindedly.
"Chen 'er, father has let you down. I've let your mother down."
