In the early morning, the sky in the east has just brightened up and is foggy. At the Fang family's martial arts training ground, there is already a young man in green, desperately jumping, lying down, and lifting the body-building stone.
At this moment, the muscles all over his body were tense and he was sweating profusely. The sweat flowing out of his body soaked the young man's green clothes. The thick dust under the young man's feet was also wetted by the sweat on his body. This shows how strong the young man is. tried.
Judging from the appearance of this young man, he looks like he is about eleven or twelve years old. He has handsome features, a slender figure, and a thin green suit. His thin and immature face is full of perseverance and perseverance.
After an unknown amount of time, the morning sun in the east has slowly risen, casting thousands of bright golden rays, illuminating the world that had been silent all night, and awakening all sleeping creatures. The young man dragged his extremely tired body and slowly He returned to his small courtyard.
The immature boy took a shower and was about to have breakfast when an old man in black, whom he rarely saw on weekdays, suddenly came to him.
"Young Master Fang Qing, the head of the family asked me to inform you that early tomorrow morning, Young Master Qing will accompany the third uncle to the copper mining area to retrieve this batch of copper ore! If the copper mining area needs personnel to guard, Young Master Qing will stay there temporarily. Bar!"
An old servant in his fifties, with his hands behind his back and his old face full of pride, suddenly came to the small courtyard where the young man was and spoke to the young man in green clothes in the courtyard.
This old servant is the current head of the Fang family and Fang Youren's personal butler. His name is Su Yan. He has been a follower of the current head of the Fang family since he was a child. He once saved Fang Youren's life. It is said that he now has the cultivation level of the sixth level of the Yanqi realm. .
Therefore, the current head of the family, Fang Youren, has great trust in him. Some orders or instructions are conveyed through Su Yan. Even for some matters in the Fang family, Fang Youren has full authority to appoint Su Yan to do it without Fang Youren's approval. It is conceivable that , how much power does Su Yan have?
"Steward Su, are my uncle and I the only ones going? Where are the others?"
The young man Fang Qing frowned and his face changed color immediately. He suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart, so he asked subconsciously.
The old housekeeper Su Yan, with his hands behind his back, looked at the young master in front of him coldly, with a flash of disdain in his eyes, but still replied: "The master only asked me to inform you, I don't know anything else!"
"Well, thank you Butler Su, I understand!"
Fang Qing looked at Su Yan in front of him, and noticed the disdain flashing in his eyes, and suddenly understood something. Fang Qing looked at the flowers and plants in the courtyard, his eyes unfocused, and he thanked Su Yan.
Everyone in the Fang family knows that Su Yan, the old butler, cannot be offended. He delivers many news and instructions to the Fang family. Su Yan can be said to be a close confidant of the current head of the family, Fang Youren.
Fang Youren is the current head of the Fang family. This family has been passed down for more than 200 years and has a population of several hundred people. He has many things to do every day. Fang Youren and Su Yan can be said to have high positions in the Fang family. Weights.
Looking at Su Yan's slowly leaving back, Fang Qing's face turned extremely sad for a moment. He did not doubt the accuracy of this order. Fang Qing was a direct descendant of the Fang family. He went out to protect the copper ore and stayed behind in the mining area. Based on his orders, Su Yan Yan didn't dare to fabricate it out of thin air.
"Grandpa, are you going to give up on me now?"
Fang Qing's eyes were dull, his face was sad, and he showed endless unwillingness. He looked to the southwest, which was the courtyard where the head of the Fang family lived, and it was also the center of the Fang family.
The Fang family is located in Liulin Town. It is one of the three major families in Liulin Town. It started from copper mines. Two hundred years ago, Fang Zongheng, the first ancestor of the Fang family, rose to prominence in Kaifeng at the same time as his two brothers Qin Mingyue and Shi Huayun. Taicheng.
Then, the three of them joined forces to annihilate the horse bandits who were located in Liulin Town at that time, and established the three major families in Liulin Town since then.
Liulin Town is affiliated with Kaitai City, and Kaitai City is affiliated with Lingyun Dynasty, one of the four great dynasties in Dongwu Domain of Fengyun Realm.
It is said that the territory ruled by the Lingyun Dynasty was extremely vast. There were nine cities in the territory, and Kaitai City was one of the nine cities and the most peripheral city.
Fang Zongheng, the ancestor of the Fang family, left two sons after the initial establishment of the Fang family, namely the eldest brother Fang Shanhai and the second son Fang Shanhe. These two sons inherited Fang Zongheng's talent, rose rapidly, and made rapid progress in cultivation. , famous in Liulin Town.
The second oldest son, Fang Shanhe, has three sons. The current head of the family, Fang Youren, is Fang Shanhe's eldest son. He also has two brothers, Fang Youli and Fang Youyi.
The eldest son, Fang Shanhai, has four children, namely Fang Youzhi, Fang Youxin, Fang Youcheng, and Fang Ziyu.
Fang Qing is an outlier in the Fang family. He has never met his mother. Fang Qing doesn't know the specific reason. His father is silent all day long and Fang Qing has never mentioned these things.
Fang Qing's grandfather, Fang Youren, is the current head of the Fang family. He is over fifty years old this year and has three sons. The eldest son Fang Buqi, the second son Fang Buhui, and the third son Fang Busan.
Fang Qing's father, Fang Buhui, was a famous cultivation genius of the Fang family when he was young. His cultivation level improved rapidly and he became famous in Liulin Town very early.
Twelve years ago, when Fang Buhui was twenty-three years old, he had already reached the ninth level of the Yiqi Realm. He shocked Liulin Town and was hailed as a rare genius in Liulin Town for a hundred years.
That year, Fang Buhui, who was high-spirited, wanted to travel alone to the nine cities of Lingyun, intending to break through to the peak of the Yanqi realm and enter the Tongmai realm.
Who would have expected that a year later, something shocking would happen. The genius of the Fang family, Fang Bugui, came back seriously injured in ragged clothes and holding a baby who was less than a month old, that was Fang Qing.
After careful questioning by Fang's elders, they discovered that Fang Buhui's cultivation had improved and he had reached the first level of the Tongmai Realm. However, all the meridians in his body had been destroyed and he would always stay at the first level of the Tongmai Realm.
It can be said that Fang Buhui has been reduced to a useless person since then. With the financial resources of the Fang family, it is impossible to treat him. That kind of injury is terrible.
The current head of the family, Fang Youren, was furious and slapped Fang Buhui several times. From then on, Fang Youren gradually calmed down after being in seclusion for half a year.
Fang Buhui, a genius of a generation, was reduced to a useless person and became a hot topic in the entire Liulin Town. When Fang Qing was six years old, he began to practice cultivation.
But at this moment, the Fang family discovered that Fang Qing had not broken through to the first level of the Body Refining Realm for a whole year.
Now, Fang Qing is twelve years old and only has a low level of cultivation at the third level of the Body Refining Realm. This is the result of the extra care given by the current head of the family, Fang Youren.
Countless resources were used to accumulate the waste of the third level of the Body Refining Realm. This made the current head of the family, Fang Youren, extremely disappointed, and all the illusions in his heart were shattered.
His former son Fang Buhui was such a genius, but unexpectedly, his son Fang Qing was so incompetent that even the servants of the Fang family were much better than him.
The continuous investment of so many resources made everyone in the Fang family complain. To this day, Fang Youren finally lost confidence in Fang Qing and stopped paying attention to him. At a family meeting, he decided to transfer Fang Qing to the copper mining area.
"Qing'er, what happened?"
Suddenly, a middle-aged man's voice came from behind Fang Qing. The voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.
Turning around, Fang Qing looked at his father with gray temples in front of him. This was Fang Buhui, his father who was once known as the top genius in Liulin Town.
"Dad, am I useless? Am I not suitable for cultivation?"
The young man Fang Qing's tone was somewhat sad, and his expression was extremely gloomy.
"Your efforts are seen by everyone in the Fang family. Over the years, you have definitely put in more efforts than anyone else in the Fang family. As long as you have confidence in yourself, one day, you It will enlighten you."
Fang Buhui looked at the son in front of him with infinite affection. This was the son he had with her, his only son. He didn't regret what happened back then, and he would never regret it. Even if he is called a useless person now, he still has no regrets. not regret.
"But Dad, Butler Su came to inform me today that he wanted me to go to the copper mining area with my third uncle. He also said that if the copper mining area lacks manpower, let me stay there! Do you know? Grandpa, he gave up on me!"
Fang Qing almost shed tears as he spoke. He blamed himself and was very sad.
"What?"
Fang Buhui's face changed drastically, and his expression turned extremely ugly. He did not expect that his father, Fang Youren, would make such a decision. This was undoubtedly his intention to give up on Fang Qing's training.
The father and son were speechless for a moment. They were both extremely sad. They thought of the people in Liulin Town calling them "waste father and son".
Fang Buhui's eyes were full of sadness. He could bear this humiliation, but his son could never go on like this. This was his only hope.
"I'm going to find your grandpa!"
Fang Buhui raised his feet and was about to go to Fang Youren's courtyard, intending to ask his father to take back his life, but saw two middle-aged men coming in outside the gate.
"Eldest brother, third brother!" Fang Buhui shouted.
These are Fang Buhui's two brothers, the eldest brother Fang Buhui, the oldest brother Fang Buhui, and the third brother Fang Buhui never let go!
"Second brother, there is no need to go. There is nothing my father can do. This is the intention of the whole family. Grandpa Shanhai, Uncle Youzhi, and Uncle Youxin and Youcheng, strongly oppose the continued training of young children. Uncles are polite and righteous. Third uncle remained silent, presumably they also meant the same thing!"
The boss Fang Buqi looked at Fang Qing helplessly, his eyes full of hope.
"Second brother, let me be fair. Instead of letting Qing'er stay in the family and suffer the scorn and suffering, why not let him go out. Maybe by chance, he can get enlightened?"
Fang Qing's third uncle Fang Busan began to consider his words.
"you……"
Fang Buhui's expression changed. He glared at his third brother Fang Busan. He didn't expect that his biological brother would say this now, which disappointed him to the extreme.
"Qing'er, what do you mean?"
The uncle Fang Bu gave up, but at this moment he turned to look at his nephew and asked like this.
Looking at his father's furious look, and then thinking about the life he had spent in the Fang family these years, few of his brothers and sisters were truly kind to him.
There were even too many rumors circulating in private that he had indeed occupied their cultivation resources. In this world, strength was the first priority. What did the so-called family affection mean in the face of strength?
Just like a few days ago, on the training ground, the grandson of the eldest grandfather Fang Youli and the grandson of the third grandfather Fang Youyi deliberately mentioned in front of him how useless the disciples of the Qin family and the Shi family were, and how vulnerable they were. what does that mean? That's what Malfunction said to himself!
Even the children of his own grandfather and brother treat him in this way. As for other people, such as Grandpa Shanhai, they must not take him into their hearts, right?
If his grandfather hadn't been the current head of the family, I'm afraid it would have been difficult for him and his son to even stay in the Fang family!
Grandpa Shanhe and Grandpa Shanhai have not been involved in worldly affairs for many years. They have left everything in the family to future generations. Then they devoted themselves to studying martial arts. They have not been seen in the world for more than ten years and have been in seclusion in the secret place of the family.
The most recent time the two of them came out was on the day Fang Buhui returned to the family after being seriously injured. After examining Fang Buhui's injuries, the two shook their heads and expressed that they were helpless.
The two ancestors left in an instant and no longer paid attention to the family genius. A useless genius is no longer a genius!
"Uncle and third uncle, my nephew agrees with the family's decision to go to the copper mining area to guard the mine. Maybe he can have a chance to break through, maybe!"
Fang Qing figured out everything in an instant and no longer struggled with the cold-bloodedness of his family. Except for his own father, he had no feelings for anyone in the other family.
This is true even if the uncle in front of him is Fang Buqi, and he is not separated from his third uncle. He is not a fool. Today, when the uncle and his uncle come here together, they have decided their own destiny.
Fang Buqi and Fang Busan's eyes moved slightly, and they were all slightly relieved, but Fang Qing was so sensitive, and after so many years of being looked down upon, his nerves were extremely sharp.
He could feel any changes in anyone's facial expressions. Fang Qing's physical cultivation was very poor, but his mental will was extremely tenacious. He felt it in an instant. facial changes.
Feeling a little sad in his heart, Fang Qing closed his eyes. After a moment, he opened them again. Fang Busan said, "Tomorrow morning, I will go to the copper mining area with my uncle and uncle!"
"Qing'er, you... you are only twelve years old, how did you get there?"
Fang Buhui felt extremely uncomfortable and his face was full of sadness. He felt sincerely sad for the cold-bloodedness of his family.
"Dad, don't worry, guarding the mine may not necessarily mean there is no way to survive. Maybe the opportunity for me to break through is right there!"
The young man Fang Qing's mentality corrected at this moment. He no longer complained about others. A man should strive for self-improvement and walk his own path.
