Chapter 322 The Fang Family’s Dilemma

"Why--!"

The long sigh contained a little helplessness.

The gray-haired old man in gray robe sat on the main seat, looked at the young man in green kneeling in the hall, and put down the teacup he picked up, "Oze, you have also seen what kind of situation our Fang family is in. , you... just think of it as making some contribution to the family."

"Grandpa, I am a man, how could you, how could you bear to let me suffer such humiliation!" The young man knelt on the ground and clenched his hands, his nails digging deep into his flesh, and the scarlet visible to the naked eye slowly dripped.

The young man's eyes contained strong anger and unwillingness.

The old man stood up and looked at the young man, "Yes, you are a man. A man should be responsible and upright! Contributing to the family is what a man should do..."

"Why can't it be A Yuan, A Xing...but it's me!"

"Because Miss Tang chose you."

"haha, really."

The young man suddenly stood up and stared directly at the old man, "I'm afraid that's not the case, Grandpa, although I am a waste of talent, I am not stupid. Miss Tang has never even seen my face, so how could she choose me? , I’m afraid it’s not you...?”

"Aze!"

The old man's tone suddenly became stern: "This is the family's decision. I am just informing you, not asking for your opinion. What's more, the eldest lady of the Tang family is not bad in appearance, so she won't lose you by marrying her. ”

"Not bad looking? Marry her?...Hahaha, that's so easy to say!"

The young man clenched his fists and roared through gritted teeth, "I don't agree! If you insist on forcing me, then I, Fang Ze, will sever ties with the Daishui Fang family!"

"It's against you!"

The old man turned livid with anger and shouted angrily: "The family provides you with food, clothing, and growth. Is this how you repay the family? Let me tell you, you have to agree or disagree today!"

As he spoke, he called out two small jade bottles and quickly poured out two pills.

Tianxiang Pill, Qi-holding Pill!

When the young man saw this, his expression changed and he shouted, "Grandpa, you can't do this to me. I'm also your grandson. You can't..."

Saying this, Sa Yazi ran wildly outside the palace.

"Come back you!"

Seeing this, the old man made a move from the air, and the young man involuntarily flew back into the palace. The old man grabbed him by the collar, "Aze, listen to grandpa, you are not talented enough and you will never be able to build a foundation in this life. Go to the Tang family and follow Miss Tang, live a good life, come...a!"

"Well..."

The young man covered his mouth and shook his head wildly.

The old man shook his head and easily pushed the young man's hand aside, "In this case, grandpa can only feed you himself."

As he spoke, he was about to forcefully stuff the elixir into the young man's mouth.

"Report——!"

Suddenly, a middle-aged man dressed as a guard rushed into the hall in two or two steps. He was stunned for a moment before bowing and saluting, "To inform the master of the family, there is a young man outside asking to see him."

"juvenile?"

Fang Deyun frowned, "Tell him that I am busy and don't have time to meet."

"But..."

"Nothing but!"

"Haha, fellow Taoist, you really have a bad temper." But at this moment, a voice that could not be heard as happy or angry suddenly sounded in the square outside the temple. As soon as the voice fell, a white shadow had already arrived in the temple.

Only then did Fang Deyun and Fang Ze see clearly that the person coming was a young man dressed in white, and he was holding a small black thing in his arms.

Fang Deyun couldn't help but shrink his pupils slightly when he saw this, and couldn't help but look at the young man with horror on his face, "You, you want to see me?"

The visitor was none other than Lu Li, who came from Jiulong Mountain.

Hearing this, Lu Li smiled lightly and said, "That's right."

Fang Deyun glanced at the guard and said, "Go down first." However, he had no intention of letting Fang Ze leave.

He then looked at Lu Li and said with a smile, "Fellow Taoist, please take a seat."

Lu Li was not polite and sat down at the first place on the right with the little one in his arms.

Fang Deyun glanced at Fang Ze and said calmly, "Aze, go and sit over there first. I'll talk to this fellow Taoist first about your affairs. I'll talk about it later."

Fang Ze clenched his fists and sat down opposite Lu Li unwillingly.

After Fang Ze sat down, Fang Deyun sat next to Lu Li and said with a smile, "I didn't know it was the young hero who came to visit me before. I didn't expect the welcome from afar. I hope you don't blame me."

Seeing this, Fang Ze couldn't help but be secretly surprised. How could this boy, who looked to be a few years older than himself, let his grandfather be so polite?

"Haha, I'm taking the liberty of disturbing you, please don't blame me, Patriarch Fang." Lu Li smiled and cupped his hands, not being arrogant because his cultivation level was higher than that of the other party.

This Fang Deyun was just a small success in the early stage, and he was already a mid-stage success. If Lu Li was that kind of arrogant person, he probably wouldn't be so polite.

Moreover, Lu Li had already learned about it before he came. The Fang family used to be a great family. However, the years have changed. Ever since the ancestor of the Fang family passed away, the strength of the Fang family has become worse from generation to generation. Now it has almost reached the point where it is barely surviving. .

The Fang Deyun in front of him is the only foundation-building master in the Fang family.

Seeing Lu Li speaking so politely, Fang Deyun couldn't help but secretly look at Lu Li a little higher, and said with an undiminished smile, "Haha, don't bother, don't bother, I just don't know, what is the purpose of your fellow Taoist coming here?"

Lu Li pondered for a moment and then said, "I heard that the Fang family has a strange stone mine, which may produce hydrolite. I wonder if this is true or not?"

Hearing this, Fang Deyun couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile, "So you came here for the Suishan Mine, but unfortunately, you're probably going to make a wasted trip."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"You're right, the Suishan Mine was indeed owned by our Fang family before, but ten years ago, the Jiuqu Tang family suddenly attacked and snatched the mine away. Since then, our Fang family has lost the qualification to mine..."

"Snatched away?"

Lu Li asked in disbelief, "Didn't you say that the ancestor of your Fang family was once a member of the Feihe Sect? Great elder, is the Fang family protected by Feihemen? "

Fang Deyun nodded and said, "Feihemen did promise to protect our Fang family for a thousand years, but since Tang Ying of the Tang family became the second elder of Feihemen, this promise has become a dead letter.

The Tang family also took the opportunity to seize the Suishan mine. "

"Forcibly seized?"

"That's not the case. The reason is that our Fang family is weak and it is difficult to protect the mine, so we sent people from the Tang family to help protect it, but the reason... everyone understands it." Fang Deyun said angrily and unwillingly.

"Didn't you go to Feihemen to reason? "

"It's useless. Feihemen is no longer the Feihemen of the past. In their view, it doesn't matter who mines the Suishan mine, as long as they don't lose their share.

However, they didn't express their position openly, saying that the Suishan mine belongs to the Tang family, and even secretly asked the Tang family not to do too much, and let the Tang family give 10% of the ore mined by the Tang family to our Fang family..."
