Chapter 17 Storm
Golden Wind and Drizzle Tower.
This is a huge force that spans across the continent. It usually engages in business and also runs an intelligence dealer business.
The titles of 'Eight Great Heroes and Sixteen Rising Stars' among the younger generation were derived from it and are widely recognized in the martial arts world.
Based on this alone, Fang Xian knew that the water behind this building was unfathomable.
People like the Know-it-all in the world of martial arts are definitely the most hated ones. To be able to survive safely until now, they must have some skills.
"Please come in, distinguished guest."
At the entrance of Xiyu Tower, two girls with sweet smiles to welcome guests. With bright eyes and white teeth, they smiled to welcome guests from all directions.
These two maids alone are pretty good looking enough to attract some attention.
Of course, if there are any ruffians who want to make a move, the group of thugs waiting behind them can teach them a lesson in no time.
Fang Xian had been in seclusion for a long time and wanted to meet more people.
After browsing around the Jinfengxiyu Tower and placing a few orders, I went to the teahouse on the top floor.
This place is free for warriors to use and is extremely exquisitely decorated. There is also a high podium in the middle. Every day, there are people who specialize in interpreting anecdotes about celebrities in the martial arts world and delivering various intelligence messages.
The tea and snacks are also top quality, with a refreshing aroma.
Fang Xian had spent some time here before, feeling very relaxed and enjoying himself. At the same time, he secretly admired that the people in Jinfengxiyu Tower really knew how to do business.
But the situation today is obviously a little different.
He walked into the teahouse and felt that the atmosphere was a little off. There seemed to be too many customers and it was too quiet.
"It's not a good thing anyway..."
Fang Xian turned around and wanted to leave without getting into any trouble.
"Eh? Miss, it's Mr. Fang Xian..."
At this moment, a maidservant standing by suddenly called out, her voice as clear as a silver bell, which seemed particularly harsh in the silence.
In an instant, at least half of the eyes fell on the door and noticed Fang Xian.
"Damn... is it that maid from the Liu family? She is just as troublesome as her master..."
Fang Xian rolled his eyes, pretended not to hear, and continued walking back.
"Master Fang, I will always remember your kindness in helping me that day..."
Liu Yun was wearing a veil, but she also saw Fang Xian. Her eyes flickered and she said, "Why don't you come in and have a cup of tea, and let me express my feelings to you?"
I can't hear, it's not me, I have no feelings.
Fang Xian had no expression on his face. He continued to walk out and stepped onto the stairs.
"Ahem! Guardian Fang, why don't you stay?"
At this time, someone at another table suddenly spoke up.
Sitting at that table were the Wuhu Hall Master Zhao Yi and the Deputy Hall Master Xiao Zha, but both of them were just sitting as vice-chairmen, while Palace Protector and others were standing beside them, and they didn't even have seats.
Sitting on the main seat was a burly old man with yellow hair and beard, like a golden-haired lion.
At this moment, they were attracted by the strange behavior of the master and servant of the Liu family and saw Fang Xian.
'well……'
Fang Xian sighed inwardly, thinking that he had not checked the almanac before going out. He came to Zhao Yi and the others, clasped his fists and saluted: "Greetings, Hall Master, Deputy Hall Master... Who is this?"
"This is our sect's deputy leader, 'Golden Lion' Ao Xiong! Haven't you met him yet?" Xiao Zha introduced Fang Xian.
"So you are the deputy sect leader." Fang Xian bowed again.
"Well... do you know the girl from the Liu family?" Ao Xiong asked casually, opening his closed eyes slightly.
"We met once." Fang Xian's expression remained unchanged.
Ao Xiong nodded and asked no more questions.
Xiao Zha, on the other hand, joked, "This girl Yun from the Liu family is a famous beauty in Yaofeng County. Many young men have tried to talk to her but failed. It's unusual that she actually looks at you with new eyes."
Feeling the strange looks from all around, Fang Xian smiled bitterly: "I'd rather not have it. And...where is this?"
"It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early... Recently, many young masters from Black Mountain County have come to the city and have agreed to compete here. We are all witnesses..."
Xiao Zha replied with a smile.
"You came at the right time. You are good at martial arts and you can also fight later."
Zhao Yi glanced at the palace protector and suddenly said.
Fang Xian's face twitched, but he said nothing.
He felt that he was being taken advantage of.
But at this time, in front of the gang leaders, they couldn't refuse, otherwise it would be a crime of neglecting the army! And once they went on the battlefield, there would be disasters of war and danger, which could be said to be an open conspiracy.
It was actually simple to break the impasse. Zhao Yi didn't know his true strength. He didn't have to be afraid of anyone among the younger generation. As long as he could win beautifully, it would be his chance to become famous.
"Haha... Mr. Fang made me wait so long."
At this time, as the fragrant wind blew by, it was Liu Yun who came over with a smile and her maid.
"This woman..."
Fang Xian rolled his eyes in his heart, and a simple smile appeared on his face: "Sorry... my ears were broken just now, so I didn't hear it."
This excuse was so insincere that Liu Yun's smile froze.
But she was good at dancing, and she recovered quickly. After meeting the people from the Five Form Sect, she smiled and said to Fang Xian, "I didn't expect... Mr. Fang joined the Five Form Sect. I guess he thinks my Liu Family Temple is too small..."
When she said this, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, giving people a feeling of infinite grievance.
"Humph, you are just a guest, yet you dare to be so rude to Fairy Liu! Why don't you apologize quickly, or I will make you pay!"
At this time, a flower protector jumped out.
He was in his twenties, wearing a lake blue brocade robe and holding a jade folding fan. He looked like a handsome young man in troubled times. He had just gotten into a fight with the palace protectors, and seeing Fang Xian like this, his eyes were filled with hostility.
"What are you?"
Fang Xian glanced sideways and suddenly sneered.
"Master Fang, don't be rude! This is the second son of the Zhang family - Zhang Zifan! Why don't you apologize immediately?" Zhao Yi slammed the table and shouted.
There are three major gangs in Yaofeng County, namely Wuxingmen, Fengyunbang and Changhepai, and three major families, namely Zhang, Leng and Liu. These six forces are both in conflict and in cooperation.
Among them, the Zhang family has close ties with the Wuxingmen. People have joined the Wuxingmen for generations, and they are also on good terms with the Liu family. They can be said to have absolute power in the city.
"You don't have to apologize to me. Just serve tea to Fairy Liu and I will forgive you this time." Zhang Zifan stared at Fang Xian with a smile on his face.
Such a guest official who joined the sect halfway is, at best, the sect's guardian, and at worst, just a dog raised by the sect. How can he be compared with the sect's direct descendants?
It's no big deal to be humiliated.
"this……"
Xiao Zha wanted to say something, but when he saw Ao Xiong closing his eyes and staying out of the matter, he didn't say anything.
Liu Yun, on the other hand, had a slight smile in her eyes: "Mr. Zhang, please give me some face. Mr. Fang has helped me before..."
"Since you, Fairy Liu, have spoken, I will..." Zhang Zifan had just said halfway when the sound of footsteps suddenly rang out.
Boom boom!
Boom boom!
A pair of black boots stepped over the steps and walked onto the high platform originally reserved for storytellers, revealing a round, smiling face: "My name is Yun Fenghai, the head of the local Jinfengxiyu Tower. First of all, thank you all for your kindness in allowing my tower to host this event. Let me explain the rules first... Any young warriors who want to show off their skills, please come to this high platform. The competition venue is limited here. Please show mercy. Of course, swords have no eyes. If there is any accidental injury or even death, it is also bad luck. No revenge will be allowed afterwards..."
