Chapter 5

A million taels was a lot of money.

He could afford it if he used the savings from the Zhenbei Mansion, but once there was a disaster, they would be short of money.

Moreover, this was the last chance for him to borrow external help. Once he used it, if he needed more wealth in the future and activated the function, he would not be able to gather money in an emergency. This opportunity could be used to save him.

“My father seems to have already helped me find a master. With my ability, I believe it won’t be long before I break through to a seventh-grade martial artist. In this case, if I don’t take a million yuan and still keep the last chance to borrow external help, it will be the best of both worlds.”

Having made up his mind, Fang Chen clicked on the second option without hesitation.

After that, there were no other notifications on the phone, so Fang Chen put it away and walked out of the room. After all, he could not leave his younger siblings hanging.

He pushed open the door and saw three people standing far across the yard.

Fang Chen thought to himself, “Did the three of them see through something and know that I don’t want to expose my secret? Is that why they’re so far away?”

At this moment, when she realized that Fang Chen had opened the door, Fang Yinyin was about to speak when Fang Ping covered her mouth. Fang Ping did not say anything but smiled awkwardly.

Fang Dapan came over carefully and asked suspiciously, “Prince, where did you poop? I would personally clean it up for you. I promise not to let the fifth person know.”

“What do you mean? What did I poop?” Fang Chen did not understand what Fang Dapan meant and asked inexplicably.

However, at this moment, Fang Ping was careless and did not hold on to Fang Yinyin tightly. The little fatty ran to Fang Chen and said angrily, “Brother, I feel that it’s better if your brain is damaged. Now, you’re actually wiping your butt with banknotes again. Moreover, there’s a 10,000-tael note. Do you know how much good food you can buy me with that much money?”

Fang Ping ran over and grabbed Fang Yinyin again. He tried to cover her mouth but realized he was too late.

Fang Chen’s expression was extremely ugly.

If he still did not understand what Fang Dapan’s words meant, he was really out of his mind.

“Dapan, which eye of yours saw me going to the toilet in the study? And I even used banknotes to wipe my butt? To think you could think of that.”

Fang Chen raised his leg and kicked Fang Dapan to the ground. He still wanted to kick him again.

“Prince, why can’t anyone see you with the doors and windows closed? You’re in such a hurry and you’re so afraid of being seen by others. Anyone would think that way. Otherwise, why are you in such a hurry to get the banknotes for no reason?” Fang Dapan put his head in his hands and whined.

“I—”

Fang Chen listened to Fang. His strange behavior was indeed easy to misunderstand.

‘But…’

The study was used as a toilet and the bank notes were used to wipe his ass. Moreover, it was 10,000 taels of silver. How imaginative was he to think that an adult like him could do it?

He was really angry. However, he could not blame Fang Dapan for that.

Fang Chen knew that this was probably his previous foppish self, so even if it was a fantasy story, it would still be associated with him.

“Don’t think that I’m so uneducated. I just suddenly wanted to try which of the 100 taels of silver and the 10,000 taels of silver are easier to tear. I was afraid that you would feel heartache, so I secretly tore them. If you don’t believe me, go into the study and take a look. There’s definitely no smell.”

All three of them looked at him as if he was the boss and they were all right.

Fang Chen was furious and forcefully dragged them around the study.

“Do you smell that, Dapan? Am I as bad as you think?” Fang questioned Fang.

It was true that Fang did not smell anything not find any evidence. He shook his head.

However, he complained in his heart, “The prince is indeed the prince. He actually tore the banknotes for fun.”

“Hey, Yinyin, what are you doing?”

Just as he was about to leave the study, Fang Chen suddenly realized that Fang Yinyin was rummaging through the trash can in front of the desk. He could not help but wonder what she was looking for.

“Big Brother, where are the banknotes you tore? I want to see if I can put them together properly. 10,100 taels of silver can buy me a lot of delicious food.”

Fang Yinyin was so anxious that she wanted to dump the trash on the ground to look for it. She looked like a little beggar who was picking up food on the ground.

“Well… there’s no need to look for it. After I tore it, I suddenly remembered that someone said that money could cure all kinds of illnesses, so I dumped all the banknotes into my teacup and drank them. I wanted to see if they could cure my brain. It felt good after drinking it.”

Fang Chen could not say anything. He had to fill in the hole he had dug.

The three of them stared at Fang Chen in a daze.

‘Is money a cure for everything?’

“Prince, I’m especially supportive of you reading more books now. Really.”

Fang Dapan suddenly became serious.

Fang Yinyin and Fang Ping both nodded in agreement.

Fang Chen was helpless, but it was better than their initial thought. He nodded and responded casually.

Then, he changed the topic and said, “Alright, don’t dwell on the matter of the banknotes. Didn’t we learn swordsmanship just now? I think I’ve already learned it. Go out and see if I’m doing it right.”

“Braggart!” Fang Yinyin was incredulous.

Fang Chen grabbed Fang Yinyin’s chubby face and said with a laugh, “Little Yinyin, you actually dare to doubt your own big brother? Don’t you know that big brother is a genius? Do you believe that I’m even stronger than second brother now?”

Fang Yinyin tried to pull Fang Chen’s hand away and said angrily, “I don’t believe you. Unless you really compete with Second Brother.”

“Haha, let’s compete. How difficult can it be?”

Of course, Fang Chen agreed without any hesitation.

“Brother, are you serious?” Fang Ping asked with an odd expression.

One had to know that although the Three Styles of Breeze was a basic sword technique, even if Fang Ping was a fifth-grade martial artist and had a powerful martial arts talent, his current level was only to put on airs with the Three Styles of Breeze or bully people of a lower realm.

If he wanted to master it and truly apply it, Fang Ping had to practice diligently for at least three days.

Fang Chen had only taken a glance just now. Not to mention using it to compete, he probably could not even remember the sword moves clearly.

“Hehe, you all suspect me, right? Come out quickly. I’ll show you what a genius is today.”

Fang Chen left the study and called for his subordinates to prepare their swords.

Soon, he and Fang Ping stood in the courtyard, each holding a sword.

“Fang Ping, come on. Let’s see who’s stronger in our Three Styles of Breeze.”

With that, Fang Chen attacked Fang Ping with the standard technique.

Of course, Fang Ping did not take Fang Chen’s words to heart. He even thought of going easy on Fang Chen later.

So he pretended to be very serious and raised his sword in response.

Fang Chen stabbed straight at him. Fang Ping casually raised his sword to block, but at this moment, Fang Chen suddenly lowered his body and directly slashed at Fang Ping’s lower body.

“What?”

Fang Ping had never dreamed that Fang Chen would have such a change of move. It was too late to block his attack with a sword.
