For a sect, this was already bestowing immense power, equivalent to the position of a second-in-command.

However...

Tuoba Xue'er said, "Uncle, did you not get the full picture before you came? My father, Bai Ze, had already told Brother Yu that he'd be the second-in-command when he joins us Bai Ze. Plus, I've already accepted him as my brother! From now on, if anyone dares to bully my brother, I'll punch them!"

Saying this, she brandished her little pink fists as if to show off her might.

"..."

Fan Wenxuan, after all, had more experience.

He immediately stopped talking. The fact that Bai Ze's lineage came earlier showed that they didn't care at all about Black Mountain being wiped out, and being able to let go of such a grudge indicated that they might be willing to pay an even greater price to win over Fang Yu.

From the affectionate relationship between Tuoba Xue'er and Fang Yu, it was clear that they had known each other for more than just a day or two.

The Seventy-two Sects knew a bit about each other.

Fan Wenxuan had naturally heard about how spoiled the Princess Tuoba was. For her, a princess, to fancy a man, this Saint Rank Doctor was almost a sure bet.

With this thought...

Fan Wenxuan's brows furrowed tighter, and he cursed inwardly, "Tuoba Yong, that old bastard, is even willing to throw in his treasured daughter. This is... going to be tricky."

He had thought long and hard, and had discussed the terms to be offered with the Sect Master, but he hadn't expected that they would so directly send a beautiful daughter straight to the doorstep.

After all, heroes have a hard time resisting the charms of a beauty.

Perhaps this Fang Yu would fall for it.

Just then—

Another voice came from outside.

"Mr. Fang, Elder Zhang Xu, a Supreme Heavenly Rank expert from Blood Sword Hall, has come to visit."

Blood Sword Hall, one of the Seventy-two Sects?

Everyone looked towards the door in puzzlement.

Fang Yu was also taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "What happy occasion is it today, that so many guests have arrived. Please let him in."

Not much later.

Elder Zhang Xu from Blood Sword Hall entered the hall, made a polite bow, and then took a seat.

Before he could even speak.

A disciple of the Fang Family rushed over from the entrance and said:

"Mr. Fang, elders from various major sects including Fire Divine Sect, Giant Sword Sect, Wind Sword Sect, and Qilin Manor have come to visit."

Upon hearing this.

Tuoba Xue'er pouted and muttered, "A bunch of old men, probably all here to snatch my Brother Yu..." Saying so, she clung to Fang Yu's arm, "Brother Yu, you must not let them deceive you. My father said that apart from Bai Ze, none of the Seventy-two Sects are good, always scheming against each other, so annoying!"

"..."

Fang Yu felt helpless; this girl really dared to say anything.

In front of the faces of the Seventy-two Sects, wasn't she afraid of offending people?

But...

The visitors were all dignified and knowledgeable elders who didn't stoop to argue with her.

"Please, come in!" Fang Yu said.

Very soon.

Many people started entering from the big gate.

From their attire, it was clear that these people were not from a modern city. Most were middle-aged men over forty, and there were also three or four pretty and attractive young ladies.

With elegant hairdos and pale skin, they were tall and slender, wearing traditional long dresses, exuding a graceful and dignified air.

Seeing these beauties.

Fan Wenxuan, who was the first to arrive, was filled with regret. How could he have forgotten about such an important factor?

In his view, which man is not fond of women?

"Mr. Fang!"

"Mr. Fang!"

Everyone saluted him one by one.

Then introduced themselves.

Fire Divine Sect, Xuan Sect, Giant Sword Sect, Wind Sword Sect, Xuantian Sect, Blood Soul Manor... most of those expected had arrived!

They were all from among the Seventy-two Sects.

Their attitude was very respectful, even though Fang Yu looked very young, they still bowed and paid their respects to him.

Including a few pretty girls, some of whom even appeared shy.

"Since we have so many guests here today, please take a seat!" Fang Yu gestured grandly.

Fang Family's disciples added many chairs to the hall.

Everyone sat down one after another.

People from the Seventy-two Sects mostly knew each other.

They exchanged glances, feeling somewhat wary of each other.

At this moment, one person stood up and said loudly:

"Mr. Fang... I've heard you're a Saint Rank Doctor. Xuan Sect has sent me to greet you." As he spoke, he gestured gently to the pretty girl beside him.

The shy girl cautiously rose, took a few delicate steps forward, and slightly bowed, saying: "I've heard that Mr. Fang's medical skill is unparalleled. Yue'er has always been keen on studying medical skills and hopes to save lives and heal the world someday. Yue'er admires people like you, sir, with such exceptional medical skills the most. So... Yue'er especially wanted to meet you in person... I didn't expect you to be so young."

As she spoke, a faint shy smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.

The people from other sects shook their heads when they saw this.

Isn't this just blatantly using a woman to entice him?

Tuoba Xue'er disliked such people the most and muttered under her breath, "Femme fatale..."

That was offensive—

The middle-aged man beside the girl named Yue'er said: "One shouldn't speak carelessly... Yue'er admires those with talent and medical skill, it's only natural for her to feel attracted. Nowadays, with society developing so fast, who can truly predict matters of the heart? Mr. Fang is busy dealing with countless affairs, he doesn't have time for trivial household matters. Yue'er has such sentiments, it is only human nature. Not like some people, who dare to do something but not admit it!"

Upon hearing this.

Tuoba Xue'er frowned and retorted, "Who are you saying dares to do things but not acknowledge them? Let me tell you, I, Tuoba Xue'er, have always liked Brother Yu... With these things you've brought, believe or not, I will break your legs if you dare to snatch my Brother Yu!"

This girl was used to being arrogant and confrontational when someone coveted the person she liked.

"It turns out to be Bai Ze Tuoba Yong's daughter, truly aggressive and uncouth... With your personality, it'd be strange if Mr. Fang liked you. My daughter Zhang Yue'er, well-educated and refined, has been brought up with the teaching of 'Three Obediences and Four Virtues.' At Xuan Sect, numerous outstanding young men line up wanting to marry my daughter..."

Everyone present shook their heads upon hearing this.

Xuan Sect was eager to marry off their daughter; those who didn't bring a beauty began to grumble to themselves.

As soon as these words were said, someone couldn't help but speak up—

"A true man should strive to accomplish great deeds, gain fame, and bring honor to his clan... Throughout history, how many heroes who stood tall and proud have fallen into the entanglement of love? All of these are but fleeting clouds. If Mr. Fang is willing to join our Wind Sword Sect, we are willing to present the treasured Wind Chaser Sword of our sect to Mr. Fang!"

No sooner had this statement been made, someone on the side laughed:

"What a joke... Your Wind Sword Sect has only five Wind Chaser Swords, and you call this a sect treasure? With Mr. Fang's status, at least the Sect Master's sword from your sect should be offered." Saying so, the person took out a small box from his chest and proudly said:

"Don't underestimate this box... This contains a Nine Transformation Netherworld Pill. It was refined by Alchemy Master Mu, a master from a thousand years ago. To break through to Saint Rank, Master Mu sacrificed half of his essence blood and enlisted an Array Master as protector, shortening his lifespan by nearly thirty years, to refine this Nine Transformation Netherworld Pill that almost reaches the level of a Saint Rank Elixir!"

Nine Transformation Netherworld Pill!

The crowd drew a breath of cold air.

"Wind and Thunder Pavilion is so generous to part with such an item!"

"Rumors say the Nine Transformation Netherworld Pill has the power of resurrection; I wonder if it's true or not!"
