Chapter 288 Surprise Attack

'"You said that Cui Ting is also true. He almost died in Big Yellow City back then, and he didn't take advantage of the rest of his life to enjoy his life. Why does he like to fight everywhere?"

"What's so good about fighting? So many people are going to die…"

In a forest on the outskirts of Chang'an, Fang Ziyu sat in front of a bonfire, his hands supporting his cheeks, his eyes shining as he looked at the bonfire and muttered to himself.

The campfire swayed in the night wind, reflecting the girl's cheeks.

Meng Liang was enlightened, and only after hearing Fang Ziyu's words did he regain his senses.

At that moment, he shook his head. "I don't know, what's the benefit of fighting back and forth?"

Meng Liang, who had been sent to Mount Li to cultivate the Sword Dao since he was young, did not know much about court battles or country battles. He thought about the battle in Jinling City that day and frowned. In the end, he was also very disgusted with that kind of slaughter.

"Sigh. I wonder if that fellow surnamed Chen can handle it." Fang Ziyu sighed.

Meng Liang did not doubt him. He only thought that it was because of the mutual concern between his fellow disciples. He comforted, "Don't worry, Xuan Ji has been smart since childhood, and with his father by his side, I don't think that Cui Ting will be able to cause any big waves."

"That's right, Chen is the most powerful." Fang Ziyu said proudly.

This appearance made Meng Liang's heart taste a little. He simply changed the topic and asked, "Oh right, I saw that girl in the martial arts field today. You are quite unhappy with her. Why?"

Fang Ziyu blinked his eyes and suddenly said, "You mean Liu Mo?"

'"That child seems to be an old friend surnamed Xu. The one surnamed Xu cares for her for half a hundred times. That child is somewhat arrogant because of her pet. Martial Uncle Ye can't see through it, so he takes over and teaches her. These days, they are busy with each other's Gu and Zhao families. Without time, they leave it to me. They say that I can sharpen her spirit."

"Sigh, I'm not very skilled. In the past, I was obstructed by a master in charge of major matters in the Exquisite Pavilion, and I was obstructed by someone surnamed Chen and someone surnamed Xu in minor matters. Now that I don't have a sect, I know that I can't do anything with that little bit of skill. I have no choice but to treat myself as a villain and share some minor matters for someone surnamed Xu."

At this point, Fang Ziyu's expression darkened slightly, and he felt a bit of self-pity.

At this moment, the campfire emitted a seductive fragrance. Meng Liang hurriedly used a wooden branch to dig open the fire. He carefully took out a ripe sweet potato from the bottom. He peeled it off and the golden flesh immediately appeared in front of them. At that time, the fragrance pervading the air became denser again.

"Come, have a taste." He handed it over.

Sniffing the familiar fragrance, Fang Ziyu immediately smiled. It was as if all her previous unhappiness had been washed away by the sweet potato fragrance. She ignored the fact that the sweet potato was still slightly hot, carefully peeled off a piece and put it into her mouth.

"Mm! It's delicious." She narrowed her eyes and nodded, "It's almost comparable to the baked sweet potatoes surnamed Chen and surnamed Xu."

Fang Ziyu praised sincerely.

Young Master Meng had always been confident in his skill in roasting sweet potatoes, but when he heard that Fang Ziyu could only rank third in his specialty, he naturally didn't like it. At this moment, he remembered that Chen Xuanji seemed to have mentioned something between Fang Ziyu and Xu Han. His expression immediately changed slightly.

After pondering for a while, he asked, "Then what is the relationship between Xu Han and Ziyu?"

Meng Liang seemed to feel that his question was somewhat suspicious. After Meng Liang finished his question, his eyes immediately dodged and he did not dare to look Fang Ziyu in the eye.

"What? What do you think I have with someone surnamed Xu?" Fang Ziyu was also slightly stunned at that time, but she immediately regained her senses. She smiled and asked mockingly.

'"No" Meng Liang couldn't stand Fang Ziyu's gaze and immediately explained in a rather clumsy manner.

'"Don't worry. My surname is Xu and I are only very simple and good friends. Besides, I have Master Ye on the left and Junior Sister Qin on the right. I have another little sister Liu Mo these days. How can I have time to talk to her?" Fang Ziyu replied calmly.

Such an attitude made Meng Liang's heart moved and he blamed himself.

This was because Fang Ziyu was reasonable, and this self-blame was because of his suspicion.

At that moment, he raised his eyes to look at Fang Ziyu and wanted to say something, but at that time, Fang Ziyu's voice sounded again.

"That idiot surnamed Chen asked you to ask, right? Don't worry about him. I, Fang Ziyu, have already thought of it. He must marry me for the rest of my life."

"Ah?" The expression on Meng Liang's face instantly froze, and the half sweet potato in his hand also fell to the ground at that time, rolling in the soil, full of mud…

…

Fang Ziyu was on his way back to the manor.

It was already 11 o'clock, and there were few people on the bustling streets of Chang'an. Fang Ziyu frowned and secretly cursed, "This Meng Liang was fine just now, but in the blink of an eye, he changed his mind and left."

Fang Ziyu thought about the disappointed expression on Meng Liang's face at that time and thought to himself, "Could it be that you are worried about the war in Chen Country?"

War was raging everywhere, and there was no peace everywhere. He did not know when he would be able to see Chen again.

As Fang Ziyu thought about this, he passed the news to the corner of the street and turned into a small alley. This was the shortcut to returning to the manor. Fang Ziyu found the small alley when he was idle in Chang'an. Although there were few people on the streets, there would still be some drinkers or hurried pedestrians from time to time. However, this alley was too remote, pitch-black, and deserted.

Eldest Miss Fang felt that the early spring night breeze was still a little chilly. She tightened her clothes and was about to quickly walk through the alley. However, just as she took this step, she suddenly realized that something was wrong. With her cultivation at the Netherpassage Realm, she quickly felt that there seemed to be a few figures approaching her.

Fang Ziyu thought to himself that it was not good, so he wanted to gather all the true essence in his body and quickly leave.

After all, she was openly enemies and secrets, so it was obviously unfavorable for her to fight However, just as this thought arose, a tremendous fluctuation of True Essence came from behind her. Fang Ziyu was shocked and was about to turn around to resist it. However, that power was clearly much stronger than hers. She turned around and that power fiercely bombarded her body. Her aura instantly froze and her head sank. She fell into the alley at that time.

At that moment, several figures also gathered around him.

"Brother Zhu is really good. This Fang Ziyu is also considered a master of the younger generation in my Linglong Pavilion, but I don't want to be unable to withstand even a single move from Brother Zhu."

"Humph! A mere female genius, what's the point? Brother Lang, don't say any more. Hurry up and kidnap her so that no one will discover her."

"Yes."

As those figures spoke, they crouched down and tied up the Fang Ziyu who had fallen to the ground. Then, a cold wind blew through the alley and the figures and Fang Ziyu disappeared in an instant, as if they had never appeared before.
