The Domination Of Martial Spirit Chapter 8: Returning One By One

Proofread by Nie Qiao

"Did you hear that the third childe of Fang clan, Fang Li, was beaten by c.r.a.p Feng of Yuan family. He is believed to be given dozens of slaps across his face, barely like a human."

 "How could it be? The c.r.a.p Feng of Yuan clan has been stuck on the second level of Ning Yuan Realm for so many years, while Fang Li childe is an expert at the peak of the fourth level of Ning Yuan Realm. The rumor is too exaggerated.

 "Rumor? You are wrong about this. I witnessed the whole process with my naked eyes. It is absolutely true. You didn't see that c.r.a.p Feng had such a breathtaking speed with an unknown footwork that Fang Li hads been given dozens of slaps before reacting. The most miserable people are the Fang Li's two escorts who were crippled by c.r.a.p Feng. It is said that they have become disabled and will never stand up for the rest of their lives!"

 "Ay, I cannot believe this is true. How can c.r.a.p Feng become so formidable? Did he desperately pretend to be a coward before?

 "Maybe, but most people conjecture that c.r.a.p Feng might have obtained some windfalls when he fell down off the cliff in Black Maple's woods so that he could make a sudden breakthrough and acquire the invincible footwork."

 "Hey-hey, we can have something fun to watch. According to Fang Li's disposition, he will never leave the matter at that. It is difficult to say whether this conflict will rise to a conflict of the two families or not."

Streets and lanes, teahouses and restaurants, almost everywhere in Mukden County is inundated with the story that Yuan Feng has beaten the third childe of Fang clan. At first, everyone thinks it is a rumor. After all, it is impossible for an acknowledged c.r.a.p to defeat an expert of the fourth level of Ning Yuan Realm.

However, too many rumors can confuse what is right or wrong. Likewise, a repeated slander makes others believe. When more and more eyewitnesses come out, the authenticity of this matter is slowly accepted by the ma.s.s. And the comeback of c.r.a.p Feng of Yuan clan is the quite fresh news for a moment.

Many people have witnessed the eerie footwork of Yuan Feng that day. They speculate that Yuan Feng must have obtained some windfalls in Black Maple's woods, thus having such changes today. Nevertheless, what is the truth of this fact is still a mystery for everyone at this moment.

However, no matter what is the truth, the hottest headline these days undoubtedly is the story that Yuan Feng hit the third childe of Fang clan in fury.

In the north of Mukden County stands a grand mansion, above whose front door glimmer two gilding frightening characters (方府) "the house of the Fang clan".

At this time, in the depth of the great mansion relentlessly echo angry roarings and cries.

"Ah-ah-ah, go away, go, I have ordered that n.o.body can bother me, go away!"

In the extravagant yard, the third childe of Fang clan, Fang Li, knocks a tea table down with his foot, shouting towards the outside of the door as madly as a hatter.

It has been already three days since he was beaten. The bruises and swelling on his face have been reduced but some fingerprints are still left. Within the three days, he has shut himself away in the house, refusing to see anybody. However, as long as he recalls that he has been trampled all over by Yuan Feng in public, he becomes extremely irritable from the bottom of his heart.

 "Knock, knock, knock!"

The person still knocks the door, and doesn't stop in spite of his soaring.

"Ah, I have said I don't want to see anyone. Go away at once!" Hearing the knock again, Fang Li wishes that he could go out to kill the man. But at the thought of his present look, he has no face to see anybody.

"He-he, third bro, what makes you so angry as to not recognize your second bro?"

Just as Fang Li gnashes his teeth in anger and hatred, a mild laughter comes from the outside of the door. Hearing the voice, the anger on Fang Li's face immediately vanishes with astonishment instead.

  "Second bro?"

With a shocked expression, he hesitates a little before running to open the front door.

With the door opened, a young man comes into view at once. The man looks like eighteen or nineteen, with starry eyes and das.h.i.+ng brows. He wears a white robe with a golden wafer dangling around his waist. On the wafer, two characters "云霄"( the skies) are true to life, just like the stars in the night.

"Second bro, it is really you, you come back!" After verifying the coming person, Fang Li bubbles over with excitement at once.

The coming person is n.o.body but the second childe of Fang clan, Fang Yu, who is the only martial spirit warrior across Mukden County and the disciple of Yun Xiao Sect now.

 "Ay, it appears that the hearsay is true. Third bro, you make me so disappointed."

The gaze of Fang Yu falls down on Fang Li's face at first. Seeing the scars on Fang Li's face, he can't help shaking his head with a sigh, then immediately walking towards the interior of the yard.

"Second bro…"

Hearing the words of Fang Yu, Fang Li wants to say something, but swallows back the words on the tip of his tongue. In Fang clan, the person he is most afraid of is undoubtedly the biological elder brother of him. He has the courage to contradict anyone but Fang Yu.

"Tell me what the h.e.l.l has happened. Our offspring of Fang clan cannot be bullied without any cause or reason."

As Fang Yu walks towards the inside, his voice lightly comes. Hearing his words, Fang Li's face quickly lights up.

He has witnessed Yuan Feng's eerie body manoeuvres, thus having the self-knowledge that he is unlikely to fight back successfully. Hence, he cannot release his anger all the time. But now, with his second bro here he believes that he can regain his face again.

"Yuan Feng, no matter what favorable turns you have experienced, I will take a terrible revenge for the shame you have given me this time." Ferociously smiling, the third childe of Fang clan seems insane right now.

At the same time, a batch of guests are receiving a warm welcome in the front of Yuan clan's mansion.

"Hha. Aoer, as your dad I am counting the seconds to welcome your return."

At the front of the gate stand all the four people of the second generation of Yuan clan, who are under the leaders.h.i.+p of the big bro Yuan Qingtian this time. Across from them, three men and a woman, four people, are standing side by side with the arrogance on their faces. They all have a striking appearance. The three men are neat and das.h.i.+ng, while the woman is more elegant and charming.  

"Father, after receiving your letter, I hurry to come back without a stop at once. By the way, let me introduce these three senior fellow apprentices to you and my three uncles.

Among the four youngsters, one strongly resembling Yuan Qingtian steps forward, lightly saluting to Yuan Qingtian and his fellows at first, then standing aside. Undoubtedly, this one is naturally the eldest grandson of Yuan clan, the firstborn of Yuan Qingtian, Yuan Ao.

As the eldest grandson of Yuan clan and a boy wonder joining Sishui Sect at an early age, Yuan Ao cuts a fine figure as well. What's more, the sect life these years makes him more mature and dignified. Judged only from the appearance, he can be absolutely regarded as a generous and decent youth rather than a man from a humble family background.

"Father, second uncle, these three people are all my senior fellow apprentices. This is Brother Leng Yun. This is Brother Zhao Qian. This is Sister Ling Fei. All of the three senior fellow apprentices are the inner disciples of Sishui Sect. They joined the sect earlier than me and have a strong power. Father and second uncle, please do not slight them."

"Hha, welcome the great disciples of Sishui Sect. It is truly an honor of us that three great talents can visit our Yuan clan. Come in, please."

Yuan Qingyun stands out at this time. In the final a.n.a.lysis, he is the patriarch. It's none of his business to concern Yuan Qingtian's talk about the olden times with his son, but when it comes to the special occasions, it won't be others' turn to come forward.

"Yuan patriarch is too courteous. With nothing to do, we hear that there is fun to see in the hometown of Brother Yuan Ao, thus coming along with him. It is so kind of Yuan patriarch not to feel bothered by us."

The person who opens her mouth is the woman among the three people. Until she starts to talk, it cannot be perceived that these people are led by her.

"There is nothing to pardon. Please come in." With hearty laughter Yuan Qingyun gestures for the four guests to go inside.

Although these people's strength may not be compared with his. But their ident.i.ty as the inner disciples of Sishui Sect can absolutely be higher than his as the patriarch of a small family. Sishui Sect has a leading influence in all Black Hill country, while Mukden county, where lies his Yuan clan, occupies a low-ranking position in all 108 counties of Black Hill country. If Sishui Sect decided to ruin Yuan clan, that would be a piece of cake for it.

After exchanging greetings, the group of people proceed towards the depth of the mansion.

"By the way, second uncle, when we pa.s.sed the market ,we hear that my third bro beat the third childe of Fang clan. Is the matter true or not?"

On the way, the eldest grandson of Yuan clan suddenly opens his mouth to ask Yuan Qinngyun.

"Hehe, it should be a rumor. Fenger (the nickname of Yuan Feng) innately lacks apt.i.tude for cultivating and has been trapped on the second level of Ning Yuan Realm all the time. How can he rival Fang Li?"

Hearing Yuan Ao mention the matter, Yuan Qingyun responds with a thin smile.

"Second uncle you can know whether it is hearsay by asking third bro, can't you?"

"Hehe, my nephew you don't know that Fenger had a slight accident the other day, but obtained some inspirations from it. Recently he has been busy in cultivating all the time. I've always wanted to ask him about this matter before, while, reconsidering that he is devoted to cultivation with gusto, I give up the idea of interrupting him. It won't be too late to ask him when he finishes his cultivation."

  Yuan Qingyun smiles smartly. To be honest, he also wants to figure out the authenticity of the hearsay that Yuan Feng beat Fang Li, but these days he has been occupied with the preparation of the fall hunt, sparing no time. What's more, he expects more that Yuan Feng can take the initiative and visit him, telling him the truth of the matter. Otherwise, he, the head of a family, seems too impatient, doesn't he?

Another reason why he has inhibited the desire to ask Yuan Feng for a long time is also related to his concern that it is just a rumor, not a fact. If the obtained answer was not what he wants, he would rather maintain the current situation and have a psychological comfort!

Of course, he still hopes all this is real from his inner heart. However, can this seemingly impossible matter really be plausible? At least, he isn't optimistic about it at all.

"Hehe, it seems that the misfortune comes to my third bro as a blessing in disguise this time. I sincerely hope the rumor is a truth. In recent years Fang clan has been swollen-headed owing to the appearance of a martial spirit warrior!" Raising the corners of his mouth, Yuan Ao doesn't indulge too much in this matter either. In fact, the conflict between Yuan Feng and Fang Li is just like a fight among kids in his eyes. What kind of conflict is this? Only when he can defeat Fang Yu, he is the honor of the whole family!

During the talk, all people have arrived at the inside chamber where the banquet has been already prepared to welcome them. Every one of Yuan family is surely elated, for the four disciples of Sishui Sect come to help them. Both the guests and the hosts are thoroughly enjoying themselves over the feast.

Until he settles the guests down, Yuan Qingyun proceeds towards Yuan Feng's yard driven by the powerful wine.

Enduring for so long, he cannot hold back his impulse any more. Mo matter the rumor is true or fake, he needs to find the answer out at length. If it is a fake message, he just accepts the knell of his hope. Anyhow, he has been disappointed in Yuan Feng more than once or twice. Nevertheless, if it is true that Yuan Feng really beat the third childe of Fang clan, everything will become totally different after that.
