The star fruit's growth trend under the spring water is still the same as before, with only the buds and roots exposed, without much change.
But the breath of life it brings cannot be replaced by any living thing.
Fang Yu left the spring and came to the vegetable garden and medicine garden.
Nourished by the spring of life, the vegetables in the vegetable garden grow very well. It is a large area of green and every vegetable contains strong vitality.
As for the medicine garden, the momentum is pretty good.
Of course, the growth cycle of medicinal materials is hundreds or thousands of times longer than that of vegetables, so the change will certainly not be huge.
"Let the little wind chime herd some cattle and sheep on the grassland, and my manor can form a self-sufficient closed loop." Fang Yu thought to himself.
…
The next morning, Fang Yu and Zheng Ze took two attendants and got into a special car to attend the celebration banquet at Wei's house.
The Wei family's home is located in a luxurious villa area in the west of Beidu.
It took nearly an hour for the special car to arrive at the gate of Wei's house.
At this time, the Wei family was already crowded.
"Master Fang, I made inquiries yesterday. The reason why the other vice-presidents are unwilling to come to such an occasion... is because the martial arts association is not popular with martial arts families." Before getting off the car, Zheng Ze whispered to Fang Yu. .
"Why? Why did the Martial Arts Association offend them?" Fang Yu asked with a raised brow.
"In the northern capital, in order to prevent the aristocratic families from expanding their power, the Martial Arts Association has adopted a series of policies and regulations that tend to suppress the development of the aristocratic martial arts families... As for the major martial arts sects, the Martial Arts Association is much more relaxed." Zheng Ze Said, "Over time, the attitude of martial arts families towards the martial arts association has become worse and worse. In recent years, there have been several confrontations between martial arts families and the martial arts association... In the past, this was unimaginable." Zheng Ze said.
Fang Yu's eyes moved slightly. In fact, he noticed this when he communicated with Huaixu last time.
Nowadays, even the president of the Beidu Martial Arts Association is from the Wang family... The status of the Martial Arts Association can be imagined.
"Those two old boys really repaid kindness with hatred." Fang Yu remembered the relieved expressions of Pan Yushan and Luo Hao after he agreed to attend the celebration banquet yesterday.
"They are all veterans, so of course they want to trick us newcomers." Zheng Ze said with a wry smile.
The two got out of the car and walked into the Wei family gate with two attendants.
The four of them were all wearing the iconic white robes uniformed by the martial arts association.
After taking out the invitation and passing the guard, he entered the interior.
In front of the main building of the Wei family, there is a large training ground.
In the middle of the practice ground, a high platform was built.
The ground was covered with a red carpet, a festive color.
In the open space below the high platform, people from various families stood.
The Wei family, the host family, all wore fiery red robes with the word "Wei" printed on their chests.
People from the Wei family are scattered everywhere, entertaining people from all over.
The arrival of Fang Yu and his party seemed to be ignored, and no one from the Wei family came forward to entertain them.
Zheng Ze looked at Fang Yu and found that Fang Yu had no expression on his face. He was looking around as if he was looking for something, so he asked, "Master Fang, what are you looking for?"
"Why is there no food for such a big celebration banquet?" Fang Yu asked.
"Uh... maybe it's not time to eat yet." Zheng Ze was stunned for a moment and replied.
Many people noticed Fang Yu and his group wearing white robes, and many people turned their heads with disgust in their eyes.
They all know that these four people are from the Martial Arts Association.
But none of them were willing to take the initiative to say hello.
This made the situation of Fang Yu and his party seem unexpected and embarrassing.
"If you hate the Martial Arts Association so much, why do you do these superficial things? It makes everyone unhappy." Fang Yu said.
"There is no way...this is the current situation in Beidu." Zheng Ze shook his head and said.
…
"Master, the people from the Martial Arts Association are here..." A waiter walked up to the middle-aged man who was communicating with the guests in front of him, leaned close to his ear, and whispered.
This person is none other than the head of the Wei family, Wei Wensheng.
Wei Wensheng turned his head and glanced at the four people standing in the distance, frowned slightly and said, "Let Wu Sheng receive them, I can't get away from here."
"Okay." The waiter nodded and left.
…
"This must be Vice President Fang!"
Fang Yu and his party arrived here. After standing for nearly five minutes, a Wei family member wearing a red robe walked forward.
This is a man with a beard and a somewhat funny appearance.
"I'm Wei Wusheng, hello." Wei Wusheng stretched out his hand to Fang Yu.
Fang Yu stretched out his hand to shake his hand and said casually, "It seems you are quite busy."
Wei Wusheng's eyes moved slightly and said: "It's really busy. We didn't expect so many people to come today. I accidentally neglected Mr. Fang. I'm really sorry."
Having said that, there was no trace of apology in Wei Wusheng's tone and expression.
However, Fang Yu didn't care about his attitude.
He came here just to take a look at the situation of the Wei family.
At this time, a waiter walked up to Wei Wusheng and said a few words.
"Master Fang, I'm really sorry. Another distinguished guest has arrived and I have to receive him. Please feel free to..." After Wei Wusheng finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"That's too much! You really don't take us seriously." A follower behind Fang Yu couldn't help but said angrily.
"I just want to know why there is no food." Fang Yu said.
"The Qi family is here!"
At this time, an exclamation sounded from beside him.
Fang Yu turned around and saw several people walking in from behind.
Walking in front was Qi Ruoqing, who had followed Fang Yu for a ride in the ruins before.
The heads of the Wei family, Wei Wensheng and Wei Wusheng, and several core members came forward to greet him.
"Ruoqing, thank you for coming to our celebration banquet." Wei Wensheng held a glass of wine in his hand and said with a smile.
"My father has been in retreat recently and cannot come in person, so he sent me to replace him and also to represent the Qi family to congratulate the Wei family on their great happiness." Qi Ruoqing smiled lightly and bowed slightly.
Today she is wearing a purple robe, with her black hair tied back, leaving a few strands of black hair on her fair forehead...
Coupled with a beautiful face, her temperament is both beautiful, mature, and elegant.
As soon as she appeared, almost all the attention of the audience shifted to her.
"The pearl of the Qi family is so shining that people can't even open their eyes."
"She is indeed beautiful, and her cultivation talent is not weak... The next genius of the Qi family to be on the Heavenly Ranking is probably Qi Ruoqing."
"I heard that the Qi family and the Wei family are interested in getting married, but I don't know if it's true or false."
There was a murmur of murmurs all around.
Qi Ruoqing and her group were chatting and laughing with the Wei family, and slowly walked towards the high platform.
"Among the eight major aristocratic families, the only family that has a good relationship with the Wei family is the Qi family." Zheng Ze whispered beside Fang Yu.
Fang Yu nodded lightly and said nothing.
"Snapped!"
At this time, Fang Yu was hit on the shoulder.
"ah!"
A female voice screamed.
Fang Yu turned around and saw a girl with an exquisite face falling to the ground.
The girl is wearing a red robe and is also from the Wei family.
At this time, she was in pain and covering her shoulders.
Fang Yu looked at her and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Are you okay!?" The girl looked at Fang Yu with disgust on her face and said, "Why are you standing in the middle of the road?"
"There are roads everywhere here, why do you say I'm standing in the middle of the road?" Fang Yu frowned and asked, "I've been standing here all this time, and you bumped into me."
"You bumped into me. Not only did you not apologize to me, but you dared to talk to me in this tone? Do you know who I am!?" The girl's face was ugly, and her beautiful face was full of anger.
"Who do I care, I didn't make any mistakes." Fang Yu said with a raised brow.
"You... you damn Martial Arts Association dog slave, you are really uneducated." The girl gritted her teeth and stood up, saying sarcastically and viciously.
The dispute between the two has attracted the attention of others.
When they saw the girl, everyone else looked gloating.
The unruly little princess of the Wei family, Wei Zhiling!
This little princess has a hot temper.
The person who happened to provoke her was someone from the Martial Arts Association!
There's something good to watch now!
"I order you to apologize to me immediately! Otherwise, get out of the Wei family! Our Wei family does not welcome you uneducated people!" Wei Zhiling pointed at Fang Yu's nose, bit her pink lip, and cursed .
…
"Master, there is a conflict with the martial arts association here, Miss." A waiter walked quickly to Wei Wensheng's side and whispered.
Wei Wensheng was talking to Qi Ruoqing. When he heard the news, he frowned and turned his head.
Just in time to see it, Wei Zhiling pointed at Fang Yu's nose and cursed angrily.
"This girl...has to cause trouble on a day like this." Wei Wensheng sighed, smiled bitterly and said to Qi Ruoqing beside her, "Ruoqing, I have to go over and deal with it."
"It's okay, Master Wei, go ahead." Qi Ruoqing said with a smile.
Wei Wensheng nodded and walked in the direction of Fang Yu and Wei Zhiling.
…
"Do you think it's great that you are from the Martial Arts Association? Let me tell you, your Martial Arts Association is nothing in front of our Wei family! I want to kill any one of you, and I can do it casually!" Seeing Fang Yu's indifferent expression, Wei Zhiling became more and more angry, and his words became more and more vicious.
"Of course the Martial Arts Association is not great. But what is so great about your Wei family?" Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and asked.
"You want to know how great the Wei family is? Then I'll let you see it!" Wei Zhiling looked mockingly, raised his hand, and slapped Fang Yu in the face.
However, Wei Zhiling's hand did not touch Fang Yu's face, but was held by Fang Yu's hand.
"I have to educate you on behalf of your parents, otherwise you will be beaten to death sooner or later when you go out into society." Fang Yu took a step forward, raised his left hand, and slapped Wei Zhiling four times.
"Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!"
Two strokes on the left cheek, two strokes on the right cheek, palm to flesh, making a crisp sound.
The last slap knocked Wei Zhiling to the ground.
Wei Zhiling covered her red cheeks, her eyes wide open and bloodshot, staring at Fang Yu, shouting in shock and anger: "You hit me? You hit me!? You dare to hit me!?"
"If you keep making noise, I won't mind giving you an extra kick." Fang Yu sneered.
