Chapter 9

After lunch, Fang Chen was reading again. Knowing that he was going to the Whole Unitary Sect on Southwind Mountain, he naturally had to try his best to understand the route in the past. Of course, there was also the status of the Whole Unitary Sect in the martial arts world and the deeds of that sect master.

He had learned about the route and so on. He paid attention to some good food and fun along the way.

However, he did not know much about the Whole Unitary Sect. It seemed that both this sect and the sect master, Li Qingyu, kept a low profile.

As he was reading, a servant sent a message saying that the Feng family’s young master, Feng Jun, had heard the news that Fang Chen was going out to practice martial arts, so he wanted to send him off.

Fang Chen knew Feng Jun quite well.

After all, Feng Jun was known as the second profligate son of the Northern Heavens. His reputation was almost on par with Fang Chen’s. The two of them claimed to be the Northern Heavens Twin Stars. Of course, they were secretly known by the people of the Northern Heavens as the Northern Heavens Duo.

Feng Jun’s family background was also extremely good. He was from a wealthy family in the Northern Heavens that was only inferior to the Prince of Zhenbei’s Mansion. In particular, the Feng family was good at business and had astonishing wealth.

In his previous life, following the death of the King of Zhenbei, the Zhenbei Mansion was wiped out. As the number one clan in the Northern Heavens, the Feng family was naturally implicated.

Fang Chen did not hesitate and went to the banquet.

So he spent the afternoon reading and watching the sunset. Then he went straight out to the banquet.

At this moment, the carriage for traveling had been replaced by Old Fang as the coachman.

Soon, they arrived at the best restaurant in the Northern Heavens City. It was called Wind and Cloud Intoxication. This was one of the Feng family’s businesses. It was said that Wind and Cloud Intoxication had branches in large cities. The people who entered and left were either rich or noble. They were earning money every day.

As soon as Fang Chen arrived at the entrance of Wind and Cloud Intoxication, Feng Jun, who was dressed in a refined white robe, welcomed him.

“Aiya, Your Highness, it’s been a long time since we last met. I’ve really missed you so much. Ever since I found out that you were ambushed by a villain, I’ve been thinking about you day and night. I was so worried about your safety that I couldn’t even leave the house.”

As soon as they met, Feng Jun exaggerated his feelings of reuniting after a long time. He even squeezed out two tears to boost the atmosphere.

“Brother Feng, why did I hear that you’re afraid that you’ll be beaten up too? You’re worried and suspicious all day long. You clearly don’t dare to go out. Also, can you squeeze out some new tricks for your tears? You always smell like onions. Can you be any more fake?”

Of course, Fang Chen exposed Feng Jun without any hesitation. After all, he was the number one profligate. He was the one who pretended to cry. He was the one who saw through Feng Jun’s tricks.

“Ahem, you must be joking. How can you doubt my sincere feelings for you?”

Feng Jun coughed awkwardly and quickly pulled Fang Chen into the restaurant. He said with a sullen face, “Alright, let’s not talk about the past. I’ve prepared a lot of delicacies today. Let’s go up and eat first.”

They walked on. Old Fang settled the carriage and hurried after them, only to be stopped by the shop assistant.

“Hey, who are you? Why are you walking in without saying anything? Can you afford to eat here?”

The waiter obviously did not know that Old Fang had followed Fang Chen here.

“Are you blind? I followed His Highness here. How dare you stop me?”

Old Fang’s eyes widened as he scolded the waiter. Those who did not know better would think that he was the prince’s grandfather.

This commotion naturally alarmed Fang Chen and Feng Jun, who were about to go upstairs.

“That’s right. Fang followed me here. Don’t stop him.”

Fang Chen was a little speechless at Old Fang’s dog-like attitude, but he still admitted it.

“Did you hear that, dog? Next time you see Grandpa, keep your eyes peeled.”

Fang cursed the waiter, then glanced around smugly before he pushed him aside and headed for the stairs.

“Prince, Young Master Feng, slow down and go upstairs. Be careful of the steps.”

Facing Fang Chen and Feng Jun, his expression changed instantly. He was extremely obsequious.

“A dog that uses his power to bully others is just like that lackey Fang Dapan…”

“What’s so strange about it? The old man was supposed to be Fang’s father. How could they not look alike?”

“This… Sure enough, the son of a rat knows how to dig holes. So it’s all because Father taught him well.”

Many people around cursed Old Fang and quickly dug out his relationship with the eldest son’s lackey, Fang Dapan.

“Shopkeeper, prepare a table of food and wine for Old Fang and me next door.”

Feng Jun looked at Old Fang with admiration, as if he was envious that another special talent had appeared beside Fang Chen.

The two of them quickly arrived at the private room upstairs. As expected, a table of delicacies had been arranged for Old Fang outside. Of course, Old Fang did not stand on ceremony and ate heartily as soon as the first dish was served.

On the other side, Fang Chen and Feng Jun ate and drank. Soon, after three rounds of wine, Feng Jun stood up and closed the door mysteriously.

Then, he said obsequiously, “Prince, aren’t you too mean? If you want to go out and have fun, why don’t you bring your brothers along?

My father didn’t even ask me to go out of the city to harm people. Am I tired of playing here? Why don’t you say that you’ll bring me to practice martial arts and we can go have fun together?”

Clearly, Feng Jun did not believe Fang Chen’s nonsense about practicing martial arts. He felt that Fang Chen was tired of playing in the city and wanted to take the opportunity to go out and have fun.

Fang Chen’s face darkened and he said angrily, “What nonsense are you talking about? Why am I the one going out to have fun? I’m going to change completely this time. I’m going to practice martial arts and become stronger, understand?”

“Tsk, you can fool others, but you can’t hide it from me. We’re good brothers who gamble with each other to find girls. How can I not know your tricks?

Don’t worry, Your Highness. As long as you agree to bring me along, I’ll pay for all your expenses. Moreover, I’ve already sent a batch of rare treasures to your residence just now. Take it as my sincerity in joining you.”

Feng Jun looked at Fang Chen expectantly, as if he understood him.

Fang Chen understood now. There was no such thing as a good banquet. Feng Jun was not here to send him off at all. He was clearly here to cause trouble and ruin his determination.

Slam!

Fang Chen slammed the table and said righteously, “Feng Jun, we’re all adults now. We can’t just sit around and wait for death.

As the saying goes, a good man’s ambitions lie in all directions. Now that I’ve come to my senses, I’m determined to achieve something.

Therefore, don’t taint my noble aspirations with your filthy thoughts. Our paths are different and we don’t work together. This meal of yours ends here.”

After saying that, Fang Chen pulled away the dumbfounded Feng Jun at the door. Just as he took a step out, he thought of how the Feng family had been implicated by the Prince of Zhenbei in his previous life and could not bear it.

He turned to Feng Jun and warned, “Feng Jun, I’ll give you one last piece of advice. A prodigal son returned home is worth more than gold. Take care of yourself.”

With that, Fang Chen pulled Old Fang, who was still eating on the table, away.
