Chapter 10 Reasonable [Bookmark and Recommend Monthly Ticket]

"That Su Yue from the Su Family..." Fang Qianyi brought up the matter once again.

And Fang Che immediately displayed the attitude of his predecessor, very firm and with a touch of impatience, he said, "Mother, please don't concern yourself with this, Su Yue is my good brother, my Big Brother Su, don't you even allow me to have a few good friends?"

"Good friends? This Su Yue clearly has ulterior motives..."

"I'm not listening, I'm not listening..."

Fang Che shook his head like a bobblehead.

Fang Qianyi sighed deeply.

She just felt that her son was still the same foolish boy as before, and moreover, he couldn't understand reason.

She could only watch out for him herself in the future.

"How worrisome."

...

The next morning, bright and early.

Fang Che was practicing his martial arts.

Fang Zhenghang had already personally gone to the Guardian Hall to submit this month's contribution value task for the Fang Family and to report the unauthorized apprenticeship of his nephew.

And Fang Qianyi...

Fang Qianyi was awoken by a foul smell.

After dinner the night before, she had taken a bath and went to sleep. She always felt sticky and had scrubbed several times; but these days drifting outside had been very tiring, and returning home brought an incomparable sense of security, so she fell asleep shortly after getting in bed.

When she woke up in the morning, she found her boudoir had turned into something like a toilet.

She herself was smeared in a layer of stinking sludge.

"Oh my God..."

...

She quickly had the maids assist her with washing up, and when she came out after changing into clean clothes, she could only hear the maids' gagging sounds from behind the room...

She couldn't help but blush.

Before the embarrassment faded, she felt her body undergo earth-shattering changes.

Lighter and more spirited, her mind more agile, and her sensitivity to nature's spiritual energy had increased several times over.

Of course, the main thing was, looking in the mirror, her skin had actually improved a lot compared to before.

Fair and ruddy, tender and firm, even better than when she was a young girl of seventeen or eighteen.

"Oh my my..."

Fang Qianyi's spirits soared in an instant.

Coming out and seeing Fang Che, she couldn't help twirling her skirt: "Che'er, do you see any changes in me today?"

"???"

Fang Che blinked, a bit dazed, but after turning it over in his mind for just a moment, he immediately began to lavish praise: "Mother, you've rejuvenated overnight!"

"Hahaha..."

Fang Qianyi was exceedingly proud, her mood buoyant, and she laughed heartily.

After laughing for a while, she suddenly asked, "Rejuvenated? Was I very old before?"

Fang Che replied from the heart, "Mother, absolutely not, it's just gilding the lily, you get younger by the day."

Fang Qianyi nodded in satisfaction, took out a small mirror from her bosom, looked at herself and said contentedly, "That's a fair comment."

"Of course. I've been worried lately."

"Worried about what?"

"Worried about finding a wife. My mother is so beautiful; I can't possibly find someone too unattractive and disgrace our family. But the problem is, finding someone who meets even half of your standards is not easy."

"Gag gag gag..."

Fang Qianyi let out a strange laugh.

Then with a happy and relaxed face, she said, "You've been thickheaded all these years and couldn't speak properly, not at all like your father. I've been puzzled for a long time, how does a son not take after his father?"

She breathed a sigh of relief cheerfully, "Today I'm finally reassured! Your skill in speaking sweet nothings and flattering girls definitely has a bit of your father's charm."

Fang Che: "..."

How much of a rake was my father?

Then Fang Qianyi left the house in high spirits. The family was discussing matters, but she did not participate—those were not important.

The most important thing now was to meet up with a few close girlfriends.

...

All the main stewards of the Su Family had disappeared.

This news was finally confirmed.

After waiting these past few days, the Fang Family began to take action: their old rival had fallen, how could they not grab a share of the spoils?

Everyone aired their views and were very excited.

Even the Fang, Lv, Zhang, Wei families were visiting each other, secretly forming connections.

...

The small courtyard.

Sun Yuan was thinking of leaving.

Since he could no longer answer some of the questions his disciple had.

He could hardly find fault in his disciple's martial arts practice anymore. And his skills, even disguise techniques, tricks, and gambling skills, had been completely pilfered!

"I've never seen such a disciple, nor have I seen a master like myself!"

Sun Yuan felt very melancholic.

"Disciple, you practice well and prepare for the big competition to enter the Martial Arts Academy. Now that there's trouble at the Su Family, I have to go and see."

Sun Yuan said.

"Ah? Something happened to my Big Brother Su's house?"

Fang Che tensed up immediately: "What happened to my big brother?"

Sun Yuan was very clear about Su Yue guiding Fang Che and using him; he had even been the one to plant the Five Spirits Gu inside Fang Che on Su Yue's behalf and naturally knew Su Yue's true face.

Seeing Fang Che still holding such deep affection was enough to make Sun Yuan internally roll his eyes.

Before that, Sun Yuan naturally took the Su Family's side, since they were a family developed within the sect, part of his camp.

But now, Sun Yuan had long since shifted his allegiance to his own disciple!

This was his own successor; the Su Family... what was that?

"Che, you... in the future, when you make friends, you really need to open your eyes wide. That Su Yue is not a good person, and he certainly holds no good intentions toward you."

"How could that be?"

Fang Che earnestly said, "Big Brother Su cares deeply for me and always looks out for my best interest. He is not a bad person, he is my good big brother!"

"Good big brother..."

Sun Yuan fell silent.

He just felt that his disciple was good in every way, but perhaps too naive.

"He still lacks a bit of harsh experience from Jianghu," Sun Yuan sighed to himself.

"Master, what has happened to the Su Family?"

Fang Che anxiously said, "We must definitely help them."

"Everyone's dead, how can we still help?" Sun Yuan rolled his eyes.

"Dead? Are there bodies?" Fang Che felt as if struck by lightning, sorrow overwhelming him.

"I didn't see any bodies."

"If there are no bodies, then my Big Brother Su must certainly be alive! Su Yue is such a good person; he can't be dead!"

Fang Che resolutely said, "Master, we can't just stand by and do nothing."

"What do you think we should do?"

"Even if Big Brother Su can't return for a while, we must safeguard his family's enterprises," Fang Che said with a righteous air. "As Big Brother Su's brother, preserving the family's enterprises, watching over them, is my duty! We're brothers, and I must do something for Big Brother Su, Master, you have to help me!"

Hmm?

Sun Yuan blinked and turned to look at his disciple, feeling something was off.

What he saw, however, was still a heart full of enthusiasm and a face filled with anxious righteousness.

Fang Che seemed ready to go through fire and water for his brother.

"Preserving the family's enterprises... how exactly do you want to do that?"

"My Big Brother Su once told me that he is the sole heir of the Su Family, and that the entire Su Family should belong to him. How else is this to be done?" Fang Che said.

Sun Yuan stroked his beard, unable to help grimacing.

The sole heir?

The entire Su Family is your brother's?

You want to help your brother preserve the family's enterprises?

Sun Yuan scratched his head, feeling a bit confused.

My disciple is still young; surely he doesn't mean what I'm thinking? Maybe he really just wants to help his big brother preserve the family's wealth?

Preserving the wealth?

"How can you, still so young, take over so many of the Su Family's businesses?" Sun Yuan frowned.

"Master, you're confused. If I liquidate everything, won't I hold onto it all? When Big Brother Su comes back, I'll just give him the money, right?"

Fang Che proposed a very feasible request.

"That does make sense..." Sun Yuan frowned, pondering for a moment, feeling that, oof, this aligns with the Yixin Sect's interests. So he said, "I'll go work on it."

"Master, you must hurry. Don't let those heartless people pick up a bargain."

"Right... what about those people from the Su Family?" Sun Yuan asked.

"Master!"

Fang Che said in grief, "Big Brother Su once said that because he is the heir of the family, others are very jealous of him, and their relationship isn't good at all; many even want to kill him! Moreover, his mother was persecuted to death, and he doesn't have any other brothers or sisters... Master, Big Brother Su is really pitiful; in this world, he only has me as his one and only relative."

Sun Yuan nodded, "I get it, you want everything."

"We must keep Big Brother Su's wealth intact, so that when he returns, he can rebuild and rise again."

"What you're saying... seems to make sense?"

"Yes, Master, although I can't use it myself, if Master wishes to use it, I believe Big Brother Su wouldn't disagree; besides, I am a Fang after all, so taking care of the Fang Family when liquidating... is also proper."

Fang Che said, "There's a brotherly duty to share wealth, after all."

...

Sun Yuan left the Fang family courtyard with his head spinning in confusion.

He walked quite a distance, still looking back, his expression full of doubt.

What... what exactly is going on?

What does this kid really mean?

But thinking about it, the Su Family was originally a branch developed by the sect, so their property essentially counts as the Yixin Sect's property; and it's suitable for his own disciple to inherit it.

Moreover, it would be even harder for the Yixin Sect to take it than for Fang Che.

And after all, it's better to leave it in the disciple's hands than to let others divide it up, right?

This... is reasonable and appropriate.

But to accomplish it wouldn't be easy; he still needed to figure out a way.

Sun Yuan immediately got to work.

He wasn't a fool; perhaps Fang Che did have a ulterior motive. This point, he hadn't overlooked, but, that was his disciple after all. If his disciple could benefit, wasn't that perfectly fine?

In fact, if Fang Che really naively tried to 'preserve' the wealth for Su Yue, he would scold his disciple for being ridiculously foolish!
