Patriarch of the Hu Family and "I Have a Way".

After those words, the whole place fell silent.

'I wonder if that was enough,' Fang Xue asked Li Qiang.

Fang Xue was referring to the fact that everything up until now had been planned.

Just before Xia Cai approached her, she felt a glance towards her, or more specifically, towards Hu Wen.

Fang Xue initially thought it was one of those pursuers, but that look didn't contain any malicious intent.

So, Fang Xue deduced that it was someone from the Hu Family. But right after noticing that person, Fang Xue also felt Xia Cai's lustful gaze.

Therefore, Fang Xue quickly came up with a plan. She wanted to show off some of her talent in front of the people of the Hu Family, and Xia Cai was the perfect way to do so.

Fang Xue knew that this would attract unwanted attention, but she should show her talent for the Hu Family to value her more. After all, she would only help Hu Wen to activate her physique, and after the debt was paid off, she would no longer have anything to do with the Hu Family.

So, to ensure the Hu Family's support, Fang Xue had to help Hu Wen and showcase her talent. The Hu Family would want to continue to have a relationship with her. After all, what family wouldn't want another genius inside their house?

As Fang Xue thought all of this, the crowd began to recover from their shock.

"My god! What did I just see? That little girl, from the 5th Level of Body Training, sent someone from the 7th Level flying and spitting blood!" exclaimed someone in the crowd.

"How amazing! She's a genius, no doubt!"

"Kyaah! She's so beautiful!" a woman screamed in the crowd.

Xia Li, the Xia Family's 9th Level Body Training cultivator, felt his face heat up in humiliation.

"You damned woman!" bellowed Xia Li, clenching his fists, ready to attack at any moment.

"Stop right now, she is a guest of my Hu Family," Hu Wen, who was watching from the side, decided to intervene.

When everyone heard those words and looked towards the owner of the voice, they saw the little princess of the Hu Family and were a little surprised.

After all, it was said that Hu Wen was dead!

"Mi-Miss Hu, this is between my Xia Family and this insolent girl," Xia Li said it very respectfully, but he also couldn't let go of this matter. Otherwise, he would be punished by the Patriarch of the Xia Family.

"It looks like the Xia Family doesn't put my Hu Family in their eyes anymore." A man's voice rang out in everyone's ears, and looking in the direction of the voice's origin, an elderly man wearing a wide white robe flew through the skies!

A Core Formation Cultivator!

"Uncle Ling!" Hu Wen exclaimed happily when she saw that elderly man.

Hu Ling was the second elder of the Hu family and the blood brother of the Patriarch/Father of Hu Wen.

"Little Wen, you have no idea how sad your father is after he heard that you were attacked by the Le Clan," Hu Ling said warmly as he descended from the sky and went to Hu Wen's side.

"Yes, I almost died, but Miss Fang Xue helped and saved me," Hu Wen said, smiling from ear to ear. After all, she was finally safe now.

Hu Ling looked at Fang Xue, and a trace of admiration passed through his eyes. After all, when he was informed that they saw Hu Wen near the city gates, he quickly left. But when he arrived, he had the opportunity to see Fang Xue in action.

'This little girl is a genius, and it looks like she helped little Wen. We should make friends with her,' Hu Ling thought.

"Greetings, Uncle Ling," Fang Xue said, bowing slightly towards Hu Ling. She couldn't afford to offend someone like him.

"Formalities aside, you saved the Miss of our Family, so we should be thanking you," Hu Ling said lightly, smiling before turning to the Xia Family cultivators.

"You heard my family's Miss, Miss Xue is a special guest of my family," Hu Ling said emotionlessly and used his Qi to carry Fang Xue and Hu Wen into the city.

The Xia Family's cultivators shook with rage, but there was nothing they could do. After all, the Hu Family is much more powerful than the Xia Family.

'Hmph. The Hu Family cannot protect you forever,' Xia Li thought coldly and went to help his young master.

As the crowd dispersed, Fang Xue was thinking about her next step to gain support from the Hu Family.

'You need to find the opportunity to bring up the subject of Hu Wen's cultivation,' Li Qiang's voice sounded in Fang Xue's mind, helping her plan her next move.

"Miss Fang is truly a genius, being able to handle someone from the 7th Level of Body Training while she is at the 5th Level is commendable," Hu Ling suddenly praised when they were already close to the Hu Family mansion.

"Uncle Ling flatters me so much. I had to give my all to achieve that feat," Fang Xue smiled and replied, looking like she had used all of her strength.

"Hahahaha, you're pretty humble," Hu Ling laughed as he landed in the central courtyard of the Hu Family.

Hu Ling's appearance drew attention mainly because he carried two people with him: a beauty holding a rabbit and the Young Miss of the family!

Hu Jiang, Hu Wen's father and the current patriarch of the Hu Family, appeared suddenly and embraced his daughter.

"My little girl, you are alive," Hu Jiang cried with emotion that his daughter was still alive.

"Yes, Daddy, I'm still alive, but that's thanks to Miss Fang Xue," Hu Wen replied, pointing at Fang Xue.

Looking in the direction his daughter pointed, Hu Jiang saw an 18-year-old girl, 181 cm tall and wearing a veil that only covered her nose and mouth. She had long black hair with white streaks and a pair of gray eyes.

But it wasn't her appearance that caught his attention, nor the rabbit in her arms, but the special feeling she conveyed to him.

'That's weird,' Hu Jiang thought, putting that feeling to the back of his mind.

"Thanks for saving my daughter. I don't know how to thank you," Hu Jiang said, almost bowing towards Fang Xue.

"The Patriarch of the Hu Family, no need to thank me. Saving her was a simple matter," Fang Xue replied in a calm tone.

"No, this is something serious. Let's go inside. I need to repay you somehow," Hu Jiang replied in a fair tone as he motioned to enter the mansion.

Entering the huge mansion and walking down the long corridor, Fang Xue saw several paintings, mostly of a woman who somehow resembled Hu Wen.

"These paintings are of my late mother," Hu Wen's melancholy voice sounded beside Fang Xue.

"My condolences," Fang Xue replied, also with some melancholy in her voice. After all, she also lost both of her parents.

The rest of the way, everyone was silent until they reached a room that had a large table with several chairs around it.

Hu Jiang sat on the highest chair, showing his status.

Hu Wen sat on her father's right side, and Hu Ling on his left.

Fang Xue sat beside Hu Wen.

When everyone sat down, Hu Wen began narrating the whole story, from the Le Clan's attack, how she was saved by Fang Xue, and how Fang Xue fought outside the gates.

Hu Wen only left out the part of Fang Xue's fight with those cultivators in the forest. She didn't want to expose too many things about Fang Xue.

Finishing listening to the story, Hu Jiang took a long look at Fang Xue.

"Really, thank you so much for saving my daughter," Hu Jiang said without hiding the gratitude in his voice.

Fang Xue was silent and only nodded.

"sigh, if I were stronger, none of this would have happened," Hu Wen sighed loudly, lamenting her lack of talent.

Hu Jiang and Hu Ling fell silent, also lamenting that the heavens were not fair.

"Maybe I have a way to help you cultivate," Fang Xue's clear and confident voice rang out in that room.

The place became completely silent. Hu Wen and the sibling duo looked at Fang Xue, who was calm and unfazed even after saying those words and being stared at by three pairs of eyes.
