Old man Fang Ju was also baffled.

Honestly, he was feeling nervous inside.

He knew his disciple too well and feared that the disciple would mess things up.

The Fang Family was no longer as it used to be, if the Sun Family and the Xiao Family found out, it would be bad enough to be kicked while down, but a stab in the back would be devastating.

However...

Zhou Bufan kept a smile on his face throughout.

"Old man, please sit here... there's a draft over there, don't catch a cold."

"Old man, are you thirsty? Let me get you a glass of water."

His overly ingratiating demeanor made Fang Ju even more suspicious, wondering if this guy was trying to butter him up to extract some secrets.

After all, Fang Ju had been living in the deep mountains for years. After the Fang family was destroyed, he became desperately sensitive to people's motives. Zhou Bufan's behavior was indeed provoking him.

"I'm not cold."

"I'm not thirsty."

Seeing him being a bit defensive and even scared, Zhou Bufan sighed inwardly.

Zhou Bufan said, "Old man, about the Fang Family, I actually do know a bit... I've seen the files on the tragic case of the Fang family's annihilation... Honestly, it's been many years, you should let go and look towards the future."

Hearing this,

Fang Ju was taken aback and asked, "You know about this?"

By now, it had been almost nine years.

The scenes of that night were still vivid in his mind.

Just thinking about those bloody and violent nights made Fang Ju's face twitch uncontrollably.

"Ah, I know..." Zhou Bufan sighed.

"Oh. I don't know." Fang Ju spread his hands and shook his head.

Zhou Bufan felt helpless; this old man was really wary.

At that moment, an officer walked in and said, "Captain Zhou, the car has arrived!"

"Old man, let's go, I will take you."

...

Meanwhile.

Upon receiving the news that old master Fang was being sent back to the Fang Family, Cai Runiao was relieved and quickly sent a message to Chen Daotian, informing him that master Fang was soon to arrive.

Chen Daotian also immediately conveyed the news to Fang Yu.

Somehow, the news of master Fang Yu's return also reached the ears of those distinguished guests.

While Fang Yu was resting in the hall, they all spontaneously ran out to welcome Master Fang Yu, to show their sincerity.

Shortly after.

A police car stopped outside the gate of the Fang Family's mansion.

Zhou Bufan said, "Old man, we've arrived."

Looking at the clean mansion and the newly renovated villa, Fang Ju's eyes reddened. Times have passed... This courtyard was where he had lived for many years; only now, the villa had new owners.

Having experienced the annihilation, he knew how unpredictable people's hearts could be.

"You got the wrong place. I don't have a home; I'm just a beggar," said Fang Ju.

"A beggar? Please don't joke, old man," Zhou Bufan said with a smile.

"Really, I am a thief... Otherwise, officer, why don't you arrest me and put me in jail?"

Zhou Bufan was helpless.

He got out of the car, opened the door, and grabbing Fang Ju, brought him to the outside of the mansion, pointing to a large stone with red characters in front: "Old man, see, there's a 'Fang' character in the middle, inscribed by the most famous calligrapher in Jiangzhou. I heard it cost quite a bit of money."

Fang Ju was shocked; these people, in order to extract words from him, were actually willing to spend so much.

"Ah? I can't read!"

"..."

Zhou Bufan was completely out of options.

At that moment, Cai Runiao and Zhu Lao San ran over from a nearby street, seeing Fang Ju standing outside the courtyard, they immediately burst into tears and rushed over.

"Master... Master..."

Fang Ju glared and said, "Officer, please help me catch these two demons. I am not Tang Seng; why do they keep bothering me!"

In the meantime.

Cai Runiao and Zhu Lao San had already come up.

"Captain Zhou, you really have had a hard time..." Cai Runiao said.

Hm?

They know each other?

Fang Ju was utterly confused.

Zhou Bufan saluted and said, "Serve the people!"

After that, he added, "I'm handing the person over to you. Please say some good words for me to your boss."

"Don't worry," Cai Runiao patted his shoulder, "After all, we are the same kind of people, just a bit more shady."

Zhu Laotie frowned and said, "Brother Niao, describing our profession like that, to be honest, I'm not happy."

"Cut the crap... let's get down to business."

The two hurriedly grabbed Fang Ju.

Afraid that the old trickster might turn around and run.

Fang Ju was really miserable, and didn't expect them to be in cahoots.

They could even mobilize the people from the institution, indicating that their power was extraordinary.

He couldn't help but mutter, "Disciple, people are sinister, your master can't beat them, so I'm leaving first..."

"Old master, what are you talking about? Please come inside! Everyone is waiting for you."

The two escorted Fang Ju towards the courtyard.

As they stepped into the villa.

Along the long pathway, rows of people, neatly arranged, stood quietly waiting.

All of them were influential figures.

Suits and leather shoes, luxury watches, designer brands... and cultivators with an air of immortality, all waiting.

Fang Ju was stunned for a moment.

What...

What's going on?

Could it really be my unfilial disciple welcoming me back?

Cai Runiao had been mentioning this all the way, but Fang Ju never believed it.

"My disciple, has he really grown up? Became successful?"

Fang Ju, trembling, walked over.

Suddenly, everyone said in unison:

"Master Fang!"

"Master Fang!"

"Master Fang!"

Everyone bowed at the same time.

After bowing, various big shots came forward to greet him.

Passing business cards, grinning broadly, there were plenty. Fang Ju had seen much of this and was very calm inside.

Until Shangguan Hong coughed twice, and the place quieted down.

Shangguan Hong walked up slowly.

Fang Ju felt a different aura from him and frowned, "Are you a martial arts expert?"

Shangguan Hong was taken aback.

Not knowing how to answer.

The enormously experienced him also knew that this old man in front of him, despite his ragged clothes, should not be underestimated.

He must be taken seriously.

Just about to answer him, Chen Daotian ran out and laughed, "Master... you're finally back... This is the Sect Master of Luli Sect, much more impressive than any martial arts expert. He's a minor Heavenly Rank powerhouse, a single palm from him could kill ten or eight Ninth Layer Martial Artists."

Fang Ju's face was blank: "..."

Shangguan Hong clasped his hands and said, "Old master, I've long admired you... You are the master of our senior, so you are also our elder. I'm just a minor Heavenly Rank, sorry to make you laugh."

At that moment, the seven saints of Luli behind him bowed together and said, "Nice to meet you, old master."

"What's this..." Fang Ju was full of confusion.

Chen Daotian laughed and said, "Let me introduce them... These seven are the Seven Saint Heirs of Luli Sect, all genuine minor Heavenly Rank powerhouses."

"Minor Heavenly Rank?" Fang Ju was utterly confused.

Chen Daotian thought to himself, it seems that the old master knows nothing about cultivators, and immediately whispered in Fang Ju's ear: "Master, they are all practitioners who have broken through above the Ninth Layer of Martial Arts..."

Hearing this, Fang Ju was greatly shocked and couldn't help but mutter, "Are there really practitioners above the Ninth Layer of Martial Arts in this world?"

"Is there any doubt? They are also Heavenly Rank powerhouses, and at the same time... they are the subordinates of your beloved disciple, my Brother Yu!"

"Subordinates?"
