Yes! Here they come! Xia Liu held his breath in anticipation. After such a long time, he was finally going to hear news about Fang Fei again. "For nearly a decade, the Fang Family's business has been neither hot nor cold, so they decided to look for a partner, and the Ouyang Family is the most suitable match." "Is it because of the family's development that they are selling their daughter again..." Upon hearing Lin Yazhi say this, Xia Liu could only feel helpless. Being born into a wealthy family, one would always face such a fate. The children cannot control their own destinies and marry for the family's future benefits. Unhappy couples might end up living separately and crying through the days after their marriage. It's not like they can divorce or anything anyway. Xia Liu had seen too much of this, and he couldn't ignore it when his own woman was involved. "Pfft! It's not exactly like that, the Fang and Ouyang families have always had good relations for generations. There have been marriages between the families in the past, and now they just continue the tradition for better, beneficial development, that's all." Upon hearing Xia Liu's distortion of the Fang and Ouyang families' actions, Lin Yazhi couldn't help but snort. "Doesn't the Fang Family have military power? Why would they still be worried about other aspects?" "The Ouyang Family has it too, and even more formidable than the Fang Family. It's said that elder sister's fiancé, Ouyang Lingtian, is a soldier, but specific details are unknown to anyone." "Uncle Fu, you must know something," Xia Liu said, shifting his gaze to Uncle Fu as he saw Lin Yazhi looking dejected. "Hmm, I know some, just some," Uncle Fu replied with a bitter smile, having guessed that Xia Liu would ask him. "Two words will do." "Heaven Slaying." At Xia Liu's behest, Uncle Fu spoke two words. "Heaven Slaying!" Hearing these two words, Xia Liu's demeanor became solemn. The Heaven Slaying Troops, they were many times more formidable than Spearhead. If Spearhead was Huaxia's five fingers, then Heaven Slaying was Huaxia's fist. One can imagine how powerful the Heaven Slaying's energy is in Huaxia, and even on a global scale, Heaven Slaying is an extremely terrifying presence. Seeing the change in Xia Liu's expression, Uncle Fu knew that he understood what Heaven Slaying represented. Although Lin Yazhi didn't understand what the two were discussing, her intelligence was by no means lackluster. Seeing their expressions, she knew the upcoming journey would be very challenging. "Xia Liu, I'm not trying to discourage you, but you should know when to stop. The outcome might not change. If you can see Fang Fei, you should just return," she said. Uncle Fu couldn't help but sigh at Xia Liu's persistence. If Xia Liu suffered any loss, it would be a tremendous loss for all of Huaxia. He could heal his hidden ailments in ten minutes, indicating that his medical skills were far greater than just that. If he used his abilities properly, he could bring many people back to life every day. Explore more adventures at empire "Hmm, I know, but I won't give up." Even if it was Heaven Slaying, Xia Liu would not be afraid. Just an Ouyang Lingtian. Even if the entire Heaven Slaying Troops came, he would not be afraid. If aggravated, he wouldn't mind unlocking the shackles. Even if it exhausted his entire life's cultivation, he would take Fang Fei away. "It's getting late, everyone should rest. I should be able to take you to the Fang Family tomorrow. If things don't go well, just leave. Can you ensure that?" Feeling it was about time, Lin Yazhi spoke calmly. "Yes." Xia Liu dared not say otherwise, fearing that if his answer did not please her, she might abandon him there. After confirming, Xia Liu was led by a maid to a room to rest. After taking a bath, Xia Liu went out to the top of the villa. Although Liu Hai City was splendid, it wasn't his home, and Fang Fei didn't like it there either. Thinking about this, Xia Liu sat cross-legged on the ground and began practicing the Five Elements Mantra. He was going to the Fang Family the next day and didn't know what he would encounter; there could be conflicts, so he needed to maintain his best condition. In the early morning, the sky still dark, Uncle Fu, dressed in black, persistently swung his fists inside the courtyard gate. For over a decade, his skills had been suppressed due to a chronic illness; now that he had recovered, he felt confident that he could return to his peak within a year. "Who's there!" Uncle Fu, with his perception greatly enhanced after overcoming the illness, always felt someone watching him and unconsciously held his breath. "Uncle Fu, don't be nervous, it's me." Xia Liu called out with a smile from the cliff edge of the villa. "Uh… oh, it's Xia Liu. How did you get up there?" Uncle Fu sighed in relief upon seeing him. At the same time, he was slightly surprised, because there was no place around the villa from which to climb to the top, yet Xia Liu had managed, which was strange. Under Uncle Fu's astonished gaze, Xia Liu leaped off, jumping continuously until he reached a pavilion about three meters high, where he only then landed. He could have landed safely from a height of ten meters, but concerned about alarming Uncle Fu, he had come down carefully. "Xia Liu, actually, I really want to know what your real identity is, how you saw through my former identity at a glance, and knew the significance of the Heaven Slaying," Uncle Fu expressed. Uncle Fu had been pondering over this the whole night. But in the end, he could not figure it out. If Xia Liu were a talented young man from the Heaven Slaying Division, he shouldn't be competing with Lingtian Ouyang for a wife. "Don't laugh at me, Uncle Fu, I'm just a country farmer who treats illnesses in my spare time. I lead a secure life." "Hehe, alright, I will know eventually." Uncle Fu knew Xia Liu was deliberately hiding something. He was his benefactor, and asking too much would only make him appear foolish. Soon enough, Xia Liu would inevitably encounter Lingtian Ouyang, and then everything would come to light. At eight o'clock, Lin Yazhi had already prepared the gifts. Uncle Fu drove, and three hours later, the car passed through a small forest and emerged in front of a lush, wooded hill. Although the trees were dense, it was still evident that there were many buildings on the hill. Upon arriving at the base of the hill, Xia Liu was slightly surprised. Surrounding the hill was a low wall covered in infrared, with a fully equipped security personnel in camouflage standing every ten meters. This level of security would probably scare the daylights out of any ordinary person if they saw it. Lin Yazhi stole a glance at Xia Liu, noticing that from start to finish, his expression remained indifferent, betraying no emotion at all. She couldn't help but suspect that he did have some ability and might truly make Fang Fei happy. But right now, the most important thing was to get past the test of the Fang and Ouyang families; relying on his abilities alone, that would be difficult... Seeing the familiar vehicle enter, the security personnel quickly allowed them through, mainly because Uncle Fu was driving. After reaching the top of the hill, Xia Liu truly understood the depth of the Fang Family. Behind the hill was a vast array of villas, at least a few hundred of them, all surrounding territories belonging to the Fang Family! This location was in the northern suburbs of Liu Hai City; from the top of the hill, one could see half of Liu Hai City, indicating the influential status of the Fang Family there. Xia Liu of course didn't care about these things; he just wanted to see Fang Fei quickly to check if she was safe, suffering, or being forced by her family...
