Chapter 8

“Alright, alright, alright. You’re the dignified King of Zhenbei. Don’t always think of yourself as a bandit, okay? Besides, I’m so handsome and unrestrained. With a flick of my finger, won’t the girls still cry and shout that they want to be my wife? Why would they need to snatch me savagely?” Fang Chen snapped.

“Alright, alright, alright. You can do as you see fit. I’m not here to talk about this this this time.” Fang Tianhuai paused for a moment, then said seriously, “It’s about you practicing martial arts. Didn’t I say that I would find you a master? Now that there’s news, I want you to go to the sect at the peak of Southwind Mountain in the Northern Heavens and acknowledge Sect Master Li Qingyu as your master. Someone will come to pick you up in a few days.”

“Southwind Mountain? That’s thousands of miles away from the Zhenbei Mansion, right? Don’t tell me you’re taking the opportunity to let me stay away from you?”

Fang Chen had read a lot of books recently, and he had a basic understanding of some of the forces in Northern Blue. Naturally, he knew the location of the Southwind Mountain Whole Unitary Sect.

“Ahem, why would you think that? It’s all because you want to practice martial arts. Dad found you a powerful master to help you achieve something. Of course, if you don’t want to go, you can choose not to go. Our Sword Tower has many experts who can teach you,” Fang Tianhuai said with an aggrieved expression.

“Okay, okay, okay. I understand. Anything else?” Fang Chen said bluntly.

“Well… it’s a long journey. Although the Whole Unitary Sect sent someone to pick you up, you’ve been pampered since you were young. I thought that I should send someone to serve you, so I wanted to bring you to meet the people who went with you to the Whole Unitary Sect.”

Fang Tianhuai faced Fang Chen, obviously unable to raise his aura.

“Huh? Who did you send? Don’t tell me it’s a girl from the brothel?”

Fang Chen’s thoughts were not without basis. Fang Tianhuai could not wait for him to continue fooling around and give up on practicing martial arts.

“Ahem, how could that be…” Fang Tianhuai almost choked. He hurriedly said,” You’re learning martial arts this time, not on an outing. No matter how unreliable I am, I won’t arrange a woman for you, right? When the time comes, it won’t be convenient for you to go to the sect. At that time, who knows who will serve whom? ”

“That’s good. As long as it’s not a woman…” Fang Chen glanced at Fang Dapan again and kicked him. He said casually, “I don’t want Dapan either. You can arrange anything else.”

“Don’t worry. Dad has arranged for you to have an old and mature one this time. It will definitely satisfy you.”

Fang Tianhuai pulled Fang Chen towards the back door of the mansion.

Fang Dapan looked hurt. After a moment’s hesitation, he followed.

Fang Chen did not walk past the back door much. He was confused, not knowing what kind of existence Fang Tianhuai had found for him.

However, Fang Dapan’s expression became richer and richer. When he finally saw Fang Tianhuai walking towards the back door, he could not help but ask, “Your Highness, you’re not asking my father to go with the prince, are you?”

“Exactly.”

Fang Tianhuai did not beat around the bush anymore. He nodded and shouted from afar, “Old Man Fang, where are you? Come out for a moment.”

Other than facing Fang Chen, Fang Tianhuai was the old master everywhere.

He saw a thin and stooped old man run out of the back gatehouse and bow as he approached.

“Why, Your Highness, why are you here?”

He first greeted Fang Tianhuai obsequiously and looked at Fang Chen. A glint flashed across his eyes as he said eagerly, “Your Highness is here too. What wind blew the two of you here?”

He then looked at Fang Dapan and suddenly kicked him until he staggered. He said angrily, “You son of a b*tch, don’t tell me you caused some trouble in the residence and the prince wants to chase us out of the residence?”

Fang Chen looked at him strangely.

At first, he was a little suspicious of Old Fang’s relationship with Fang Dapan. With their figures, they did not look like biological father and son.

However, that familiar lackey ability was exactly the same.

However, at this moment, Fang Chen first thought of his previous life. When the bad news of his father’s battle came, Old Fang disappeared for no reason. At that time, some people in the residence said that Old Fang was a peerless expert.

However, Fang Chen looked at Old Fang now. He looked like he was about to collapse when the wind blew. Moreover, he was slovenly and sloppy. He really could not see anything impressive about him.

No matter how he looked at it, it was an upgraded version of Dapan. Fang Chen suspected that if Old Fang sprained his waist or something, he would have to help Old Fang instead.

Of course, the others did not know what Fang Chen was thinking. Fang Tianhuai watched as Old Fang lectured Fang Dapan and kicked Old Fang.

However, it was obvious that he did not really want to kick. He avoided him, perhaps afraid of breaking his bones.

“Alright, stop joking around. I’m here for something serious.”

Fang Tianhuai’s face stiffened and he said seriously, “Old Fang, the prince is going to the Whole Unitary Sect on Southwind Mountain to learn martial arts in two days. It’s a long way, so I plan to ask you to accompany him along the way to take care of the prince. Is there any problem on your side?”

“There must be no problem, Your Highness. The prince and I are definitely the best partners. Don’t worry, with me around, I guarantee that the prince will enjoy better treatment than in the palace,” Old Fang said happily.

“Alright, since you have no problem with it, it’s decided. Prepare yourself in the next two days. When someone from the Whole Unitary Sect comes to pick you up, you’ll leave with the heir.”

Fang Tianhuai nodded and made the decision.

“Chen’er, Old Fang will follow you directly from now on. Get familiar with him. I still have some things to deal with, so I’ll leave first.”

Fang Tianhuai pinched Old Fang and left with an excuse before Fang Chen could say anything.

Fang Chen stared blankly at Fang Tianhuai’s back as he left. He kept feeling that something was wrong. He felt like he had been tricked. However, he could not pinpoint the reason for that feeling.

When he regained his senses, he looked behind him at Old Fang and Fang. Both of them were looking at Fang with fawning expressions.

“Um… Old Fang, since you’re going out with me, I have to get to know you. Introduce yourself. What do you know and what are you best at?”

Although he did not think highly of Old Fang, he felt that Fang Tianhuai would not casually hand him over to someone he did not trust, so he said expectantly.

“I know everything the prince knows. I’m also good at everything the prince is good at,” Old Fang said without hesitation.

Fang Chen was stunned. This answer was a little unorthodox.

Thinking about it carefully, Fang Chen did not even know what he knew.

“Um… give me an example,” Fang Chen asked curiously.

“I’m good at eating, drinking, and gambling. I’m good at everything, and I’m as good at martial arts as the prince,” Old Fang said confidently.

“I—”

Fang Chen raised his leg. If not for Old Fang’s thin body, he would have kicked him hard.

He turned around and left, wanting to ask Fang Tianhuai why he had arranged for him to meet Old Fang, but he could not find him.

However, Fang Chen did not pay much attention to it after that. In any case, he had never thought of bringing any followers. If he really had to bring one, he would just treat it as a way to relieve his boredom.
