Chapter 648: Chapter 156: The Unknown Road Ahead, Measured Step by Step [Ten Thousand Words]_3

"There are naturally reasons for not speaking... Don’t worry, Qianyi knows what to do."

Fang Zhenghang and his wife quietly left.

...

Fang Che and Ye Meng stayed at home for a full seven days. During this time, Fang Che helped Fang Qianyi sort out her meridians several times, giving her all sorts of Divine Pills, letting his mother take a bunch.

Ensuring that there should be no problem breaking through from the Ninth Grade Martial General to the Emperor Level.

Then earnestly reminded her: "You’re not allowed to go out on missions, you can only cultivate at home; no taking risks, no competing with others for bravado and fighting..."

Fang Qianyi was utterly annoyed: "Why haven’t you left yet? Am I your mom, or are you my mom? So young, yet you act like a nagging old lady!"

"Your vacation’s over, right? Why don’t you hurry back to your post."

"Hurry and leave, hurry and leave... so annoying."

By the sixth day, Fang Qianyi simply packed Fang Che’s luggage and placed it at the door.

But Fang Che still lingered for another day before leaving.

Before leaving, he even threatened Fang Qianyi.

"Anyway, you have to remember what I said. Hmph, when we have kids, I’m counting on you to take care of your grandchildren. Now I’m telling you, if you go out on missions and encounter danger... just think about it."

Mentioning grandchildren hit Fang Qianyi’s soft spot.

She could only raise her hands in surrender.

"Alright, alright, I remember, I remember!"

Fang Qianyi repeatedly agreed and urged him.

Then: "Don’t show off, be careful when you get there..."

Under the heartfelt exhortations and watchful gazes of the whole family, Fang Che, Fang Qingyun, and Ye Meng rode out.

After traveling dozens of yards, they turned to look back, only to see a crowd at the gate, still waving.

The three waved in return.

Then turned around.

"Giddy-up!"

The three horses simultaneously sped up, galloping like the wind.

At the gate.

Mrs. Fang and Fang Qianyi both shed tears.

Fang Zhenghang scolded, "Look at the two of you, so useless. The kids are heading for a great future, and you two women just cry at the drop of a hat, it’s really..."

After a few scoldings, he turned around and said, "Let’s go back inside, don’t let others laugh at us."

After persuading his sister and wife back inside, Fang Zhenghang couldn’t help but glance back: By now, they’ve reached the city gate, right? When will they return next, in half a year? Or...

He sighed lightly and turned to go back inside.

"Do more good deeds, accumulate blessings for those two kids. Even if they encounter danger in the future, good thoughts will protect them, turning misfortune into a blessing..."

Fang Zhenghang thought to himself, "Such things, you can’t be stingy with money..."

So he issued orders continuously.

The steward was again so busy that his feet barely touched the ground.

At the gate.

The old gatekeeper, face full of wrinkles, reflected."Such a family... not bad."

...

"Big Cousin, do you know what you’re like when you’re drunk?" Fang Che urged his horse to catch up with Fang Qingyun.

"Don’t say it!"

Fang Qingyun’s face was full of black lines as he sprinted his horse.

But his horse wasn’t fast, and soon Fang Che caught up.

"You probably don’t remember, or don’t remember clearly, let me help you recall a bit."

"..."

Fang Qingyun wore a dark face the whole journey.

This journey was truly one of suffering.

Fang Qingyun felt countless times that his cousin was worse than when he was useless and ignorant before, at least back then he could beat him up.

If he had been this annoying then, he would have definitely taken action.

Now... he could only be bullied.

This journey felt so long; Fang Qingyun seemed to be travelling for ten years before reaching Baiyun State.

He rushed to Baiyun Martial Academy, finally free.

Fang Che laughed heartily, heading with Ye Meng towards the Scholar Residence.

Only to see Fang Qingyun rush back again.

Snorting, he said: "Don’t talk!"

Fang Che: "???"

"Be careful! Your fame has grown recently, and you’ve exposed your appearance too much. The Guardian Hall’s position can’t be moved, and your daily route is fixed, so there’s bound to be a lot of trouble. Be mindful. If anything happens, let me know. And if you go anywhere, let me know as well."

Fang Qingyun said, "Also, behave in front of me in the future. It’s one thing if I can’t beat you, but our family has family rules! Don’t blame Big Cousin for enforcing them on you!"

He seemed to find a way to deal with Fang Che, and actually smiled proudly.

Without waiting for Fang Che to reply, he turned his horse and rode away rapidly.

"..."

Fang Che opened his mouth, ready to say something provoking, but Fang Qingyun was already gone.

He could only sulkily close his mouth, saying, "This naive fellow!"

Even Ye Meng couldn’t help but laugh, saying, "Big Cousin is truly nice."

"Yes, he is, but he’s too nice."

Fang Che sighed, "Easily taken advantage of."

"Aren’t you a bit too... towards Big Cousin?" Ye Meng asked.

"Excessive? Demanding?" Fang Che asked with a smile.

"A little."

"Big Cousin is a person that’s honest, sincere, and has this childish belief, that... sincerity is returned with sincerity; he believes that giving will have rewards. So, he’s very easy to give."

Fang Che said calmly, "But he’s wrong. Not every sacrifice is rewarded; and not just because you give sincerity, can you get sincerity in return. These two points have a prerequisite, which is: you have to meet the right person. You need to meet someone who will reward others for their sacrifices, someone who cherishes others’ sincerity, only then can it work."

"Meet the right person, and your sacrifice is called camaraderie; meet the wrong person, and your sacrifice is foolish."

"Currently, in the Martial Academy, it’s not too harmful. But once he leaves the academy, with that personality, any harm he encounters could easily drag the entire family down because... by then, his cultivation will be very high. As long as I’m not around, the whole Fang Family, he’ll have the highest cultivation level."

"We aren’t afraid of any villain’s calculated harm; but we are most afraid of a good person making unintentional mistakes; that’s too deadly. Because you can guard against villains, but good people making mistakes out of goodwill is truly seamless."
