The Second Antagonist.

After getting off his horse, Fang Xiaoyu looked at the group of people with great interest. Cheng Jialuo, played by Zheng Shaoqiu, indeed had an elegant and refined demeanor, while Yu Zhenhai, as expected of the main antagonist in the original story, immediately began complaining about the Fang family losing their wealth.

Fang Shiyu, unlike Fang Xiaoyu who had lived two lives and was more composed, immediately retorted after hearing Yu Zhenhai's words, "Who are you? Our Fang family has sacrificed everything to support the Red Flower Society, yet you seem to blame us..."

"Shiyu, do not be rude. This is the second-in-command of the Red Flower Society, Yu Zhenhai!"

Fang De quickly reprimanded Fang Shiyu and then apologized to Yu Zhenhai, saying, "My son is young and ignorant, please forgive him, Brother Yu."

Yu Zhenhai, with a mocking smile, narrowed his eyes as he looked at Fang Shiyu and said with some disdain, "I'm not so petty as to argue with a mere junior."

"You!"

Fang Shiyu couldn't stand Yu Zhenhai's sneering tone and took a step forward to argue. However, at this moment, Fang Xiaoyu, who had been silent all along, stepped forward and pulled the agitated Fang Shiyu back, saying, "Shiyu, if a dog bites you, would you bite back? Yu Daren has a point; he is a person of status. To argue with us juniors would be beneath him."

Hearing this, Yu Zhenhai couldn't help but become furious, feeling that Fang Xiaoyu was insinuating that he was a dog. But before he could explode in anger, Fang Xiaoyu's next words forced him to suppress his rage, as he sneered and said, "Brother Fang, you are truly blessed. If these two young men were to join our Red Flower Society, it would greatly strengthen our ranks."

Although others might not see it, Fang Xiaoyu knew exactly what Yu Zhenhai was planning. If they joined the Red Flower Society, Yu Zhenhai, as the second-in-command, would have plenty of ways to deal with the two brothers.

But who was Fang Xiaoyu? Facing Yu Zhenhai's sinister smile, he laughed heartily, stepped forward, and bowed to Cheng Jialuo, saying, "I, Fang Xiaoyu, greet the leader. I humbly request you to accept me."

Fang Shiyu, catching on quickly, followed suit, saying, "And I, Fang Shiyu, as well."

Cheng Jialuo hesitated for a moment. While others might not notice, he clearly saw through Yu Zhenhai's intentions. If he accepted the Fang brothers, even with his protection, he couldn't guarantee that the two wouldn't suffer under Yu Zhenhai's hands.

But with so many people watching, Cheng Jialuo didn't know how to refuse the brothers' request, so he turned to Fang De.

Fang De might have seen through Yu Zhenhai's scheme or perhaps didn't notice it, but he was pleased with the idea of his two sons joining the Red Flower Society. Now, seeing Cheng Jialuo looking his way, Fang De smiled and said, "Since they have such a wish, I ask the leader to grant it."

With Fang De's approval, Cheng Jialuo couldn't refuse, so he nodded slightly and said to the one-armed Daoist beside him, "Daoist Wuchen, I'll leave the Fang brothers in your care."

Daoist Wuchen nodded slightly and smiled, "Leader, rest assured, I will take good care of them."

Fang Xiaoyu paid his respects to Daoist Wuchen, then glanced at Yu Zhenhai, noticing the venomous smile in his eyes.

Knowing Yu Zhenhai's role as the main antagonist, Fang Xiaoyu wasn't surprised to face him so soon.

Years ago, after learning of Yu Zhenhai's existence, Fang Xiaoyu realized that this world was a blend of the two movies "Fong Sai-Yuk" and its sequel.

Simply put, in the first movie, the protagonist Fang Shiyu's opponent was Ordo, while in the second movie, his opponent was Yu Zhenhai.

If Fang Xiaoyu hadn't appeared, according to the original plot, Fang Shiyu would have suffered greatly at Yu Zhenhai's hands, even losing all his martial arts skills. Although he would eventually kill Yu Zhenhai, along the way, many of Fang Shiyu's close ones, including Cheng Jialuo and Miao Cuihua, would endure great suffering.

But things were different this time. With Fang Xiaoyu around, if Yu Zhenhai tried to cause trouble again, he would not hesitate to deal with him harshly.

In the original plot, Fang Shiyu, out of a sense of duty, only rebelled after Cheng Jialuo was imprisoned by Yu Zhenhai. But Fang Xiaoyu wouldn't be so passive. If Yu Zhenhai dared to make a move, Fang Xiaoyu would cut off his schemes without mercy.

Thus, the group settled down in the Red Flower Society. Due to Lei Laohu and Li Xiaohuan's discomfort, they soon moved away from the small town, but Fang Xiaoyu's family remained in the Red Flower Society.

The dozen or so guards who accompanied Fang Xiaoyu had all disappeared, as he had sent them out to make some arrangements for the future.

Yu Zhenhai, who had been watching the Fang family closely, became busy trying to track them down, but despite all his efforts, he couldn't find any trace of them, which made him more cautious. For a while, he didn't trouble the brothers.

Spring passed and autumn came, and in half a year, Fang Xiaoyu had gained much. He and Fang Shiyu, who had both been trained in the Shaolin system from a young age, had never been exposed to other martial arts styles. However, in these past six months, in the Red Flower Society, each leader was a master of their time, with their own strengths.

Daoist Wuchen's swordsmanship was superb, Zhao Banshan's Taiji Boxing grasped the essence of Taiji, and Jin Di Xiucai's needle-throwing skills were unmatched. Not one of the leaders was weak.

Even though Fang Xiaoyu practiced the "Diamond Invincible Body" skill, in a real fight, none of the leaders were much weaker than him.

As a result, Fang Xiaoyu's horizons were broadened. Sparring with each leader, he gained valuable experience from each, and in just six months, he felt his own strength had increased by several levels.

If he were to fight Ordo again now, while he wouldn't say he could easily defeat him, he was at least 70-80% confident he could win in a head-to-head battle.

One day, after a great duel with Daoist Wuchen, Fang Xiaoyu returned to his residence with significant gains.

A graceful figure was sitting in the courtyard, bathing in the sunlight, sewing a garment. Hearing footsteps, the woman looked up, revealing a stunningly beautiful face—it was none other than Lei Tingting.

Putting down her needlework, Lei Tingting slowly rose and walked towards Fang Xiaoyu. Seeing this, Fang Xiaoyu hurriedly stepped forward and gently supported her, saying, "Didn't I tell you? You should rest since you're with child. Look at you, what if you hurt the baby?"

Lei Tingting's face was full of tenderness as she stroked her flat belly and said, "It's only been two months, husband, you're too worried."

It turned out that Lei Tingting was already pregnant. This was not surprising, given Fang Xiaoyu's vitality and the fact that he had such a beautiful wife, leading to many nights of passion. Even though Fang Xiaoyu tried to be careful, in the midst of enjoying her company, other concerns were often forgotten, so it wasn't long before Lei Tingting conceived.

Fortunately, Fang Xiaoyu had mentally prepared for this. Even though he knew he would eventually leave this world, he still chose to give Lei Tingting a child.

At least for now, he didn't know what abilities the thief system hidden in his mind might have, or if it could allow him to take Lei Tingting with him.

If he could take her, all would be well; but if he couldn't, at least leaving her with a child would give her something to hold onto, rather than leaving her to grow old alone.

Carefully helping Lei Tingting to sit down, Fang Xiaoyu sat beside her, took a sip of tea, and asked, "Where is Mother?"

Lei Tingting smiled and said, "Mother-in-law went to bring soup to Shiyu."

Then, Lei Tingting hesitated and said, "Husband, I've heard that Yu Daren seems to have plans against you and Shiyu, and it seems that the suggestion to separate Shiyu from you came from him."

Fang Xiaoyu smiled slightly. The powerful inertia of the plot was something even he had to admire. Not long ago, Yu Zhenhai had discovered some information, and as a result, Fang Shiyu was sent away.

Fang Xiaoyu knew very well that the information Yu Zhenhai found was related to Cheng Jialuo's background. If nothing unexpected happened, then the plot would proceed as in the original story, with Fang Shiyu being sent to steal the brocade box that held Cheng Jialuo's secret, encountering Japanese ronin along the way, and meeting the daughter of Liangguang Governor Sun Shiyi, Sun An'er.

If he didn't intervene, it wouldn't be long before Cheng Jialuo was imprisoned by Yu Zhenhai, and Fang Shiyu, for concealing Cheng Jialuo's identity, would be stripped of his martial arts
