——————

At the same time.

In Jiangzhou Fang Family.

The hall was filled with guests and members of the Fang Family.

Fang Yu and his master Fang Ju were sitting side by side in the main seats, looking around.

"This attack by the Seventy-two Sects was within my expectations... However, I didn't expect that you would actually not retreat. Are you really that bull-headed, willing to fight to the death?" Fang Yu said, looking at them.

The Four Saint Generals bowed their heads in embarrassment.

"And you... The Eight Diagrams Flag Array I taught you is capable of dealing with a Circulation Heaven Position powerhouse, but evidently, you haven't succeeded, and instead got beaten black and blue."

The faces of the Thirty-six Xuantian flushed red with embarrassment.

Hearing Fang Yu say that the Eight Diagrams Flag could trap a Circulation Heaven Position expert.

As a guest, Tuoba Yong was startled, and said: "Mr. Fang, the flags they are holding, could they possibly be the Eight Diagrams Flags of the Taia?"

"That's correct." Fang Yu replied indifferently.

Upon hearing this.

Tuoba Yong was shocked and said: "It is said that once these are deployed successfully and their full power is unleashed, even a Supreme Heavenly Rank powerhouse would suffer."

Fang Yu nodded and said: "You do have quite an eye."

Tuoba Yong gave an awkward smile, then cupped his hands and said:

"It is only today that I've understood why Mr. Fang was unwilling to join the lineage of Bai Ze. It turns out Mr. Fang's abilities and talents have long exceeded my imagination, not to mention Bai Ze, even the Five Great Divine Palaces may not be able to accommodate Mr. Fang, the Flood Dragon."

"Wow, Tuoba Yong, when did you become such a flatterer?" Fang Yu said with a roll of his eyes.

"I'm just stating the facts..."

Recalling the recent battle, Tuoba Yong still felt a lingering fear.

Just as he finished speaking.

Tuoba Xue'er, who had been following closely, said: "Brother Yu, my dad is really telling the truth, he's not sucking up."

"Shut up!" Tuoba Yong exclaimed.

"Why are you!"

"I told you to shut up!"

Telling Tuoba Xue'er to shut up twice in a row, this truly hurt her.

She had never been scolded like this by Tuoba Yong.

It could be said that Tuoba Yong had always treated her like the apple of his eye. But...

Today, after hearing the words of the Sect Masters of the Seventy-two Sects, he became agitated.

Some things are not worth delving into, as the more you think about them, the more flaws can be found.

They said that Tuoba Xue'er was the daughter of Song Gusheng.

Then everything about how Song Gusheng treated Tuoba Xue'er made sense.

Song Gusheng had guarded Tuoba Xue'er day and night for seven days and nights, treating her illness; he had braved mountains and rivers searching for medicinal herbs at any cost; he even fell out with his Sect for Tuoba Xue'er's sake and eventually left the Sect because of this.

Thinking of this.

Tuoba Yong felt extremely uncomfortable.

Fang Yu coughed and said: "Tuoba Yong, why the anger?"

"She's too impolite, at such an important occasion, as a woman and a junior at that, how can she interject randomly? My scolding is to teach her a lesson!" Tuoba Yong said with a furrowed brow.

"Hmph, what's the big deal, if it comes to it, I'll just stay with Brother Yu!" Tuoba Xue'er stubbornly walked towards Fang Yu.

This left everyone watching in stunned silence.

Right at this moment...

A Fang Family disciple at the door announced loudly: "Doctor Song Gusheng and Li Xuan from the Ancient Life Hall have arrived."

"Let them in." Fang Yu said.

"Yes!"

Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives.

Shortly after.

Song Gusheng and Li Xuan entered the hall.

Upon seeing Fang Yu, they both cupped their hands and said: "Greetings, Mr. Fang."

"No need to be so polite... What brings you here today?" Fang Yu asked with a smile.

"I just passed by the main gate on my way here, and saw the destruction, as if a major battle had occurred. I had also heard that the Fang Family was in some trouble, so I hurried over to see if I could be of any help."

Seeing Tuoba Xue'er safe and sound, he couldn't hide his excitement and blurted out, "Xue'er, are you all right?"

"..."

His overly concerned manner.

Made Tuoba Yong unable to hold back any longer. Suddenly, he slammed his hand down on the table and shouted: "Song Gusheng!"

Song Gusheng was startled and immediately knelt down: "Sect Master!"

"You dare... Tell me honestly, is Tuoba Xue'er your flesh and blood?"

Song Gusheng was shocked to his core.

Had the truth finally come to light?

Upon hearing this question, Tuoba Xue'er was also full of shock, frozen in place.

This...

How is that possible?

Song Gusheng trembled all over, unable to speak.

"Song Gusheng! I, who once treated you well, how dare you commit such a beastly act! Today, I must purge the sect!" Saying this, Tuoba Yong raised his palm to strike.

"Wait!"

Fang Yu suddenly exclaimed, standing up with his hands behind his back.

"Mr. Fang?"

"Tuoba Yong, accustomed as you are to a high position, you are unaware of the hardships of the human world... In truth, I had long realized that Tuoba Xue'er is indeed Song Gusheng's biological daughter. However, the blame should not be placed on Song Gusheng but rather upon yourself for reflection." Fang Yu stated indifferently.

"Mr. Fang, I don't follow what you mean?" Tuoba Yong still maintained ample respect for Fang Yu.

"They were originally a couple, and it was you who split them apart..." Fang Yu bluntly stated.

Hearing this.

Tuoba Yong was taken aback for a moment.

It seemed he had thought of something.

Then he fell silent.

Fang Yu then said: "The relationship between you and your wife has always been poor, right? Fundamentally speaking, the fault lies with you."

As he finished speaking.

Tuoba Xue'er, with a face full of disbelief, murmured: "Impossible, impossible... it can't be..."

"Xue'er..." Song Gusheng called out.

This one call.

Only made Tuoba Xue'er even more frightened, and she turned and ran.

Song Gusheng took a quick step and chased after her.

Tuoba Yong, seething with anger, clenched his fingers until they turned white.

Fang Yu continued: "What is predestined will happen, what is not, will not come to pass no matter how much you strive. Tuoba Yong... Let it go, the ways of heaven are cyclical, cause and effect are recurrent, one's mistakes must be shouldered by oneself."

"Sigh—"

Tuoba Yong sat down.

Just then,

Disciples of the Fang Family entered the hall and said with clasped hands: "Mr. Fang, there is someone asking to see you outside."

"Who?"

"They say they are from the Taia Sect..."

The Taia Sect?

Everyone present was taken aback, for this was a major sect, on par with the Five Great Divine Palaces.

"Let them in."

"Yes!"

Tuoba Yong clasped his hands and said: "Mr. Fang, today's events have been somewhat excessive. With you having killed Loushan of the Five Great Divine Palaces, Tiandu Mountain is unlikely to let you off the hook. What are you planning to do, Mr. Fang?"

"There's no particular plan... I'm waiting for them."

"Mr. Fang really doesn't intend to join the Five Great Divine Palaces?" This was what Tuoba Yong was most concerned about; he had been siding with Fang Yu all along, betting everything on this one move.

What Tuoba Yong did not expect was that people from the Three Divine Sect had also come.

According to the current situation, having offended the Five Great Divine Palaces, joining the Three Divine Sect was the best option, and only they could contend with the Five Great Divine Palaces.

Thinking of this, Tuoba Yong's expression became somewhat uneasy.

"Of course, I will join, but I will do so openly and honorably," Fang Yu said with a smile.

"Then why does Mr. Fang want to meet with people from the Taia Sect?"

At this, Fang Yu chuckled, "Tuoba Yong, are you so afraid of me joining Taia?"

Tuoba Yong blushed with an old face and sighed, "Mr. Fang had no regard for my Bai Ze back in the day, and now you treat both the Five Great Divine Palaces and Taia Sect lightly. Naturally, you wouldn't understand the difficulties faced by us minor sects and small schools."

As of today, Tuoba Yong had completely abandoned the attitude of condescension, feeling even somewhat inferior in the presence of Fang Yu.

Fang Yu addressed Tuoba Yong, "Considering that you brought so many disciples today to assist the Fang Family, I naturally won't shortchange you. Given that Bai Ze probably can't return to its position among the Seventy-two Sects, you could join my sect..."

"Ah?" Tuoba Yong was stunned.

A member of the prestigious Seventy-two Sects joining a sect located in the urban area of the Fang Family? This...

"You have half a day to consider."
