First Update.
…
Li Jun's matter was settled, and there were people helping him clean up the mess. Qin Fang's attention naturally returned to the capital.
The trip to the Lei Family was imminent. Cai Qing had already contacted the Lei Family and arranged a meeting time. Qin Fang would accompany Cai Qing on this trip.
Lei Peng and his uncle Shangguan Tianling were the biggest problem of this trip. Qin Fang had already prepared to face them head-on. He even prepared a little in advance as Qin Fang's trump card.
A day passed quickly. Today was the day to go to the Lei Family.
"Master, don't worry. I will take care of this matter …"
Before leaving, Qin Fang's master, Cai Pingyuan, specially called Qin Fang to remind him of a few words. The safety of both of them was the most important thing. Other things could be discussed slowly.
Qin Fang didn't want to say much about this. The methods he prepared were a little dishonorable. He didn't want his master to worry, so naturally, he didn't say anything.
"Let's go …"
After hanging up the phone, Qin Fang looked at Cai Qing, who seemed to be more nervous and apprehensive.
Cai Qing nodded and obediently sat in Qin Fang's car.
Cai Qing, who had always been quite fierce in the past, was exceptionally quiet today. She was like a gentle girl next door, giving Qin Fang a very unusual feeling.
Qin Fang really wanted to tease Cai Qing and let her return to her fierce nature of scolding when she was unhappy. However, after thinking about it, he couldn't open his mouth in the end. He could understand Cai Qing's feelings at this time.
The Lei Family was considered one of the more flourishing families among the martial arts families. Even during the war, they didn't suffer too many losses. Most of the clansmen survived and continued to spread, becoming more and more flourishing.
The Lei Family was considered one of the most powerful families in the capital. They had been rooted in the capital for more than a hundred years and could be considered the local tyrant of the local tyrants. It was said that the Lei Family had contributed a lot to the peaceful liberation of the capital. Perhaps this was also the reason why the Lei Family could preserve so many of their people.
After more than a hundred years of development, the Lei Family's descendants prospered. There were also many outstanding descendants in the family, such as the Seven Tigers of the Lei Family that Qin Fang knew of.
Of course, there were also other outstanding descendants. Some were in politics, some were in business, some were in the military, and some were in the country's special departments. In short, the Lei Family's connections were also quite extensive.
However, the only ones who could truly become the head of the Lei Family were those who practiced martial arts. This could be considered as one of the ancestral teachings of the Lei Family.
Therefore, in the Lei Family, the descendants who practiced martial arts had more say in the family. Just like Lei Peng, who was such an outstanding descendant, although the matter of the engagement caused many family members to criticize him, there was nothing they could say.
Old Master Lei was already very old. He was almost ten years older than Cai Pingyuan, who was nearing seventy years old. However, for someone who practiced martial arts to such a degree, he didn't look particularly old.
However, from the age of fifty, he rarely went out. Most of the time, he stayed at the ancestral home to cultivate his body and mind, seeking to improve his martial arts. Qin Fang and the others wanted to discuss the marriage, so they came to the ancestral home to visit Old Master Lei.
The Lei Family's ancestral home had a history of more than a hundred years. It was said that the Lei Family's ancestors had built it when they moved to the capital. After many generations of ups and downs, it still stood tall.
It was located in Houhai. This was considered a very special place in the capital. Normal people didn't have the qualifications to live here. The Lei Family also benefited from the glory of their ancestors.
It was said that there was once a Feng Shui expert who saw the Feng Shui of this place. He hailed Houhai as the most prosperous place in the Long Province.
Today's capital was already an international metropolis. Tall buildings could be seen everywhere. On the contrary, ancient buildings were becoming rarer and rarer.
Old buildings could at least be treated as ancient relics. However, the value of buildings from the recent hundred years wasn't particularly high. Unfortunately, the Lei Family was stuck in this period of time.
However, this didn't mean that the Lei Family's ancestral home wasn't worth much. On the contrary … if the Lei Family was willing to sell this ancestral home, it wouldn't be worth less than a billion.
The Lei Family's ancestral home was a courtyard house. Courtyard houses were a major feature of the capital's architecture. However, they were becoming rarer and rarer. The rich people no longer pursued those tall buildings. On the contrary, this kind of secluded courtyard house was even more popular. The price also rose along with it.
It was said that in the Qing Dynasty, a relatively medium sized courtyard house was worth at least a hundred million. As for a courtyard house that was as big as the Lei Family's, it could be counted with one's fingers. Without a few hundred million, one shouldn't open their mouth.
Not to mention that this courtyard house was located in Houhai. Its value didn't need to be mentioned. Just by looking at the people living nearby, one could imagine its value.
The capital was the capital of the emperor and Houhai's Qi was the most prosperous place in the entire capital. In Feng Shui terms, ancestral homes and ancestral tombs in such places could provide for future generations.
Of course, this concept of fate was a little too mysterious. It couldn't be said to be completely unreliable, but it also couldn't be said to be completely reliable. At the very least, there were many old houses in Houhai that were sold by the descendants of fallen families. Such prosperous fate wasn't able to benefit these descendants.
This also meant that fortune wasn't that easy to enjoy. With such great fate, if one didn't have a strong enough fate to suppress it, they would only end up suffering from it.
Qin Fang wasn't too sure if the Lei Family's prosperity had anything to do with this ancestral home. He didn't do much research on this and couldn't be bothered to do so.
Because it was arranged in advance, when Qin Fang's car arrived at Houhai, he met the people of the Lei Family who had been waiting there for a long time. Under their guidance, they came directly to the ancestral home of the Lei Family.
This was a very ordinary looking house. Other than its size being much larger than a typical courtyard house, there wasn't anything special about it.
The main door was the kind of red painted door that was commonly seen in ancient times. There was a stone lion at the door and a golden plaque with faded paint hung above the door. The writing on it wasn't very clear.
"The Old Master has been waiting in the inner hall for a long time. Please …"
Almost as soon as Qin Fang and Cai Qing reached the door, they saw an old man about 50 years old coming out of the house. He spoke very politely to Qin Fang and Cai Qing.
"A level-6 expert!"
Qin Fang was a little surprised by this old man's strength. He was actually a level-6 Master expert who had already taken the most difficult step for warriors. Such an expert would definitely be a hero in the outside world, but it seemed like he was just a servant of the Lei Family …
"Thank you …"
However, Qin Fang didn't shrink back because of this old man's strength. He immediately cupped his fists and bowed to the old man before striding into the house.
However, Cai Qing suddenly stopped in her tracks. Her face was filled with hesitation as if she couldn't take this step no matter what.
"What's wrong, Senior?"
Qin Fang looked at Cai Qing strangely. They were already at the entrance of the Lei Family's house, but Cai Qing suddenly seemed to want to shrink back. He couldn't help but find it strange.
"Qin Fang, I'm a little scared …"
Even a strong woman like Cai Qing had a feminine weakness. It was just that she usually buried this weakness in the deepest part of her heart. It was only when she encountered such a situation that she would inadvertently reveal it.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here for everything!"
Qin Fang reached out and held Cai Qing's small hand in his. He expressed his sincerity, "Leave the rest to me. You just have to wait patiently for this marriage to be dissolved …"
Since he had promised Cai Qing that he would settle this matter and also promised his master that he wouldn't let Cai Qing get hurt, Qin Fang would definitely not shrink back. Even if he was facing such a powerful Lei Family, it was still the same.
If he really angered Qin Fang, the Lei Family wouldn't let him off easily. He, Qin Fang, would definitely not let the Lei Family off easily. To put it bluntly, he, Qin Fang, had nothing to lose. Why would he be afraid of the Lei Family?
Cai Qing looked at Qin Fang's eyes without the slightest bit of panic. Instead, it was filled with confidence and comfort. Her heart immediately calmed down a little. She nodded gently and didn't withdraw her hand from Qin Fang's grip. She just let Qin Fang hold her hand as the two walked into the house together.
The old man leading the way at the side acted as if he didn't see anything. He kept looking down as if he didn't exist at all.
However, when Qin Fang and Cai Qing walked hand in hand and stepped through the door of the Lei Family, a glint flashed across his eyes … It was just that he was behind Qin Fang and Cai Qing and couldn't see this little change.
Just like this, Qin Fang and Cai Qing officially stepped into the Lei Family's territory. They entered the ancestral house that had allowed the Lei Family to flourish for more than a hundred years and slowly walked towards the central courtyard. The Lei Family's old master would meet the two of them there.
There wasn't anything special about this ancestral house. It was just an ordinary house. However, Qin Fang looked around from time to time as if he was very interested in this place.
The current capital city was already a forest of buildings made of steel and cement. It was bustling and noisy everywhere. On the contrary, this kind of old house gave people a rather quiet and elegant feeling. It was a good place to cultivate one's mind. It was no wonder that those great people liked to live in such places.
As far as Qin Fang knew, the Green Bamboo Mountain where Grandpa Tang lived and the Jade Spring Mountain where Grandpa Qiao lived were all old mansions like this. It was because this kind of place was more suitable for them to cultivate their minds and spirits!
Of course, these old men had different goals for cultivating their bodies and minds …
