Chapter 606: Chapter 673: If Only My Brother-in-Law Was Here
In short, the destruction of the Iron Fist Sect had caused quite a stir in the Martial Arts world, except for the Desire Sect and the Sky Sword Sect, the remaining three major sects were guessing who had the courage and strength to wipe out the Iron Fist Sect.
On this day, Fang Yi received a call from his mother-in-law, Hua Huiyue.
"Mother-in-law, how could you bring yourself to call me? What an honor, truly an honor!" Although they weren’t face to face, Fang Yi’s flattery was on point, and his tone was full of ingratiating charm.
"I too am honored to have such a son-in-law," said Hua Huiyue.
"Yes, indeed, you should be proud."
"... I haven’t seen you for a long time, and you’re still as slick as ever. Alright, once you return to Moon City, find a chance to come over to my place," Hua Huiyue said.
"Uh..."
"Jingjing wants to see you." Hua Huiyue added another sentence.
Fang Yi immediately perked up and quickly said, "Definitely!"
After hanging up the phone, Fang Yi pondered for a moment and decided that, since things were wrapped up in Lank City, it was about time to head back.
So, he summoned Yang Dingfeng to tell him to keep a close eye on the factory, coordinate with the local Earth Snake, and not let any mishaps occur. As for the Forty-One Alliance and the Qinghong Alliance, there shouldn’t be any concern. Now that they were allied with the Sky Alliance, establishing themselves in Lank City wouldn’t be a problem.
However, Fang Yi also warned Yang Dingfeng to be wary of Cao Chun. With Yang Dingfeng’s abilities, dealing with Cao Chun shouldn’t pose much of a problem.
Three days later, after giving Xu He a heads-up, Fang Yi took Su Ge’er with him and left Lank City, boarding the plane to Moon City.
Meanwhile, the situation in Moon City could already be described as undercurrents surging.
Shen family.
In the living room, Luo Sumei tied an apron around her waist and busied herself for quite a while, brewing several cups of tea for the "guests" and bringing them over, then went to prepare some snacks to place on the coffee table in the living room.
Actually, Luo Sumei harbored some complaints. That’s because those "guests" were really impolite. From the moment they entered, they were completely arrogant, lacking any manners and showing no respect for others.
What irked Luo Sumei even more was seeing Shen Binan’s face turn incredibly unsightly when those people arrived.
"Sumei, you go back to your room first, I need to discuss some important matters with them," Shen Hongyang said to Luo Sumei, who was picking up a rag to clean.
"Yo, Shen Hongyang, if you don’t do guilty deeds, you don’t fear the ghost knocking on your door. It wouldn’t hurt to let your wife listen too," a youth said with a smile, a mocking tone on his face.
Luo Sumei immediately responded with displeasure, "Young man, how can you talk like that, you..."
"Sumei!" Shen Hongyang cut her off with a stern face, saying sharply, "Go back to your room!"
With no choice, Luo Sumei glared fiercely at the young man and then reluctantly returned to her room.
In the living room, accompanying the youth were two other youths, who were different from ordinary young men in that they exuded an air of arrogance. Without them stating explicitly, any perceptive person could tell they were the pampered scions of Tianjing, used to being arrogant and imperious.
Shen Hongyang was actually very clear in his mind that these were indeed the pampered scions from Tianjing, and the sort that came from within those circles. It would have been strange if they lacked the usual domineering aura of the second generation.
"Shen Hongyang!" Just as Shen Hongyang was about to pick up the teacup in front of him, one of the youths suddenly spoke.
The teacup froze in mid-air for a few seconds before Shen Hongyang put it back down on the coffee table.
Shen Hongyang glanced at the youth and asked, "What would the young master from the Fang Family like to command?"
"You know we are the young masters of the Fang Family!" the youth sneered, "We won’t make things difficult for you. Just hand over the black wooden box, and we will not trouble you. But if you’re thinking of not cooperating, then you’ll have to bear the consequences yourself."
Shen Hongyang’s expression remained unnervingly calm, showing no hint of change as he said indifferently, "What black wooden box? I truly have no idea what you are talking about."
"Shen Hongyang, are you still playing dumb with us?" another youth said coldly, "You very well know which black wooden box we’re talking about!"
Shen Hongyang shook his head, replying unperturbedly, "I don’t know."
The three youths all sneered in unison. Could they possibly believe Shen Hongyang’s words?
Of course not!
One of the youths suddenly grabbed Shen Hongyang’s collar and pulled him close, saying fiercely, "Damn it! Shen Hongyang, I advise you not to feign ignorance with us! You have a family, what do you need that thing for? Don’t think that just because this is a law-abiding society we wouldn’t dare lay a finger on you. The Fang Family can easily make a few people disappear from the face of this Earth if we want to."
These words were laden with a strong threat; their tone suggested they were contemplating ransacking Shen Hongyang’s household and annihilating his clan.
Just then, a cold voice rang out: "Let go!"
The three youths turned to look at the doorway and immediately, their eyes lit up.
A woman, resplendent like an arrogant and frosty iceberg, was standing there—extraordinarily serene and stunning in her OL business suit, exuding a tantalizing charm, far surpassing those female celebrities they joked about.
There was also a young girl with a somewhat round face, utterly adorable.
Lustful gazes instantly flickered in the eyes of the three youths. At that moment, they exchanged glances, as if in perfect understanding, with countless thoughts racing through their minds.
One of the youths stepped forward, looked at the icy beauty, and said, "You must be Shen Binnan."
"Yes, it’s me."
"We’ve long heard that you are the foremost beauty in Moon City, and seeing you today, your reputation is indeed well-deserved," another youth said with a sleazy grin.
Shen Binnan’s face remained frosty; she didn’t crack a smile and said icily, "Release my father, or face the consequences."
The three youths chuckled in unison, their jeering intent undisguised.
Undisturbed by their mockery, Shen Binnan remained calm. However, Shen Xiaoxiao was infuriated. Never one to shy away from bold acts, she scanned the room, then silently made her way to the kitchen. When she emerged, she was holding a kitchen knife in her hand.
The mocking smiles on the faces of the three scions of the Fang Family froze solid, like cement.
Shen Xiaoxiao, normally carefree and seemingly insouciant, now exuded an intensity that struck fear into others.
Shen Xiaoxiao lifted the knife and said coldly, "Let go of my dad."
The youth who had been holding Shen Hongyang by the collar was taken aback, then he let go. His face lost pride, but he saw that Shen Xiaoxiao was not kidding—she might really slash at them.
"Fine! Shen Hongyang, you have guts! I’m telling you, better hand over that black wooden box quickly. You might escape from the Monk but not from the temple; let’s just wait and see!"
Then, the youth looked at Shen Xiaoxiao and taunted, "Little sister, don’t play with knives; it would be a shame if you accidentally cut your tender skin."
"Get lost!" Shen Xiaoxiao’s pretty face was still ice cold, her demeanor now somewhat resembling Shen Binnan’s.
The three youths left, realizing that they weren’t on their own turf, and making a big scene would do them no good.
Right after the three had left, the kitchen knife fell from Shen Xiaoxiao’s grasp. It was as if all her strength had been drained, and her legs turned a bit wobbly. She nearly stumbled but was promptly supported by Shen Binnan who rushed over.
"Xiaoxiao, are you okay?" Shen Binnan asked, feeling both admiration and moved by her sister’s recent actions.
Shen Xiaoxiao sighed with a world-weariness, "If only my brother-in-law were here."
