Chapter 139.2

Fang Mansion was located to the east of Jinxiu City. It was reasonable to say that the City Lord's Mansion of each city would always be located in this position, but it was clear that Fang Mansion was more important than the City Lord's Mansion.

The Fang Family was not as luxurious as they had imagined though. The vermilion lacquered gate had a golden plaque on it with the words Fang Mansion written on it. The inscription under the plaque was actually left by the emperor of the previous dynasty, which seemed to have an arrogant capital.

Although the Fang Family was famous for embroidered brocade, their family was known to the world because of the battle more than 30 years ago. At that time, the North part of Jinxiu City did not belong to the land of the dynasty. The barbarians rebelled. The grandfather of the family brought more than a dozen males from the Fang Family and hundreds of thousands of people to play out half of the country that was originally a barbarian.

Moreover, the old man of the Fang Family was also a wise man, he knew how to plot well. When the world had finally returned to peace, he directly took his two remaining sons back home. Although in the end there were only a dozen males in the Fang Family, he and his two sons were the only ones left, but the popularity of the Fang Family was still good. After the two sons married their wives, they gave birth to many more children.

Moreover, the wife of the eldest son was also from a brocade family, while the second son married a wife from an embroidery family, so the Fang Family changed from a general family to a merchant family.

The previous emperor also felt a bit sorry for Master Fang. After all, he had helped him to fight for the country, but in the end he was forced to return to his hometown without any rewards. Therefore, before he died, he left a will that specifically asked the next emperor not to touch the Fang Family at all if they hadn't made any huge mistakes.

As a result, he did not expect that the prince he had chosen to be the emperor, had only been the emperor for one day before he was driven off. Now the new emperor who took over was the eighth prince who was envious at that time. This prince never liked the old emperor. He also hated his father very much. After becoming the emperor, he wanted to rectify the Fang Family, just because he wanted to go against his father's orders.

Besides, in order to satisfy the emperor, and save her entire family from being deceived by the emperor, Fang Zhijin went to Mo Ye's house to ask for inscriptions but who knew that she didn't get what she went there for, instead, she accidentally saw a piece of brocade that shocked her.

That day she got the brocade and ran home. Later, she was caught in the wind and cold. She thought she would heal soon. Who knew that no matter how many doctors the Fang Family invited, even the old doctors who had purposely returned to their hometown, couldn't find a cure for her!

The elder of the Fang Family was most distressed by his daughter. The doctors could not cure his daughter, and her originally healthy daughter was getting weaker and weaker as days passed, so he listened to his wife and decided to pray to the immortals. And a Taoist from Ningshan actually came.

When the old Taoist saw that Fang Zhijin's essence was losing rapidly, which was the reason she couldn't recover, he really didn't know how it happened.

As a result, after investigation, the most suspicious person was Mo Ye.

After being led by the chief steward to the front door of the Fang Mansion, Qi Huan saw a line of people standing at the door waiting for them. When they appeared, many of the people stared at them, some were even glaring at them.

Ignoring those murderous gazes, Qi Huan took Mo Ye's hand and walked slowly into the Fang Mansion's guest hall.

Master Fang sat in the hall, with a tea cup on his right hand side. The tea inside was a bit cold. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

"Master, the guests are here." The chief steward bowed to Master Fang as he spoke, and then immediately retreated. leaving only Qi Huan and Mo Ye in the hall.

It seemed that Master Fang didn't even intend to entertain his guests, he didn't ask Qi Huan to sit down, and he didn't prepare tea for them, he just stared at the two of them.

After a while, Qi Huan finally got a little impatient, "Why did you look for us? If there's no issue, then we will be leaving now." At first, she thought the Fang Mansion would look fancy, but it turned out to be an ordinary luxury house. It was not even one percent comparable to Ming Huo's Hall.

Master Fang raised his eyes and scanned Qi Huan, then he frowned slightly, "It's not your turn to speak." Master Fang was a classical ancient machismo advocate. He believed that the role of a woman was to give birth to children, and basically had no other rights. If it were not for his wife to bring benefits to his family, he would never give his wife a good face.

Qi Huan was almost amused by Master Fang's words. Great, she was despised by an old man. So, she poked Mo Ye, and said, "You talk to him."

Mo Ye glanced at Master Fang then continued to stay quiet. Qi Huan liked to settle accounts, and she also liked to make trouble without reason. If he spoke now, she would definitely blame Mo Ye for this Master's sin of despising women. So Mo Ye would rather not speak.

"Hmph." Master Fang slapped the table when he saw that Mo Ye showed no means to speak,, "Servants, invite the old Taoist over."

After a while, an old Taoist dressed in gray robes came in from the back hall. It was the chief steward who brought him in. He was so flattering that he almost knelt down. The gap between people was really that big!

After the old Taoist came in, Master Fang also stood up and gave up his seat to him. He was not humbly, he petted his robes and sat down, looking at Qi Huan condescendingly like a criminal in court.

He counted his fingers, and then he took out a yellow talisman paper. Qi Huan glanced at the talisman paper. It was a burning talisman. It was the most basic thing ever, it was of no use other than being burnt.

Seeing that piece of talisman paper actually burned in the old Taoist hands, the chief steward and old Master Fang immediately knelt on the ground, shouting for the gods to appear.

"..." Qi Huan was totally speechless with their action, she could only assume that they hadn't seen the world.

After the old Taoist was done, he sat upright and said, "You two are in big trouble!" He sounded like everyone else.

Qi Huan turned to look at Mo Ye, what did they do? Mo Ye shrugged, he didn't know.

Seeing that the two of them weren't even going to confess, the old Taoist's expression changed, "Hmph, I will curse you two to not have a smooth journey in your cultivation. I wanted to spare you two, but I didn't expect you to not repent." The old Taoist took out something from one of his sleeves. It was a peachwood sword. Qi Huan's eyes lit up with a little lavender light when she saw the sword.

It seemed that this old Taoist had a lot of good things. The material to make this peachwood sword turned out to be Zizhu. Zizhu was very rare. And to make this peachwood sword, it had to be at least a thousand years old, so it was even more precious.

It seemed that this old Taoist was quite wealthy.

"You monster, you're looking for death!" The old Taoist stabbed Qi Huan with his sword.

Qi Huan stood on the spot and watched his charging towards her. When the sword was close to her, Mo Ye quickly grabbed it. And the sword turned black in an instant, before burning into ashes.
