she was a recent addition, otherwise Xianyao would have had to spend ages looking for hers.As for this, that young lady proved it by trying to find Chen Shiru's biography. She spent an entire day sear...Chapter 288 - Xiaokai 1

"What's the use of you knowing all this Your own strength is so low, encountering a master will be the end! If I really wanted to kill you just now, you might already be dead!" Fang Ling didn't use any fatal moves earlier. If she had truly wanted to kill Free-and-Easy Wanderer, he wouldn't have been able to dodge that easily.

"Huhu!" Free-and-Easy Wanderer didn't argue and merely said, "In the past, I was solidifying my basics while also working and needed to create a suitable martial art set for my boss. That's how I came to know these things; now it has become a habit, hard to change."

" Work Boss" Fang Ling was full of questions.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Just now, your martial arts seemed a bit strange, missing some stuff!" Free-and-Easy Wanderer changed the topic; he didn't want to discuss Lone Star with others, especially someone like Fang Ling whom he had known for only a few days.

"Hmm, you're right. Some things are indeed missing. More than a thousand years ago, our Fang family faced a great calamity and nearly perished. Thankfully, an unparalleled genius appeared later on to bring the Fang family back to its former glory as one of the top clans in the land. However, some martial arts skills were lost at that time, especially those passed down orally." Fang Ling nodded.

As a long-standing clan like the Fangs, they would inevitably experience great ups and downs, even facing the threat of extinction. This was all possible in this world; one never knows what will happen next!

Fortunately, the Fang family survived and continued to exist until now. Old martial arts skills may have been lost, but new ones emerged instead. However, some of those losses are hard to recover.

"Strange! How do you know it's missing" Fang Ling looked at Free-and-Easy Wanderer with a puzzled look but quickly realized something and her eyes heated up as she understood.

"Didn't I say that I saw things in Chen Shiru's study which dated back three thousand years ago" Free-and-Easy Wanderer didn’t care whether Fang Ling had figured it out or not, and continued to answer.

"That’s right! You saw the complete set from three thousand years ago. The skills lost were around a millennium ago; hence yours are intact!! Quickly, write down everything you know!" Fang Ling grabbed Free-and-Easy Wanderer and said this without any intention of letting him escape.

"Alright, prepare me with the Four Treasures of the Study as well as materials for bookbinding. I will put down everything; it looks like I can't leave tomorrow but have to stay a few more days!" Free-and-Easy Wanderer nodded in agreement since these were things belonging to the Fang family and he had no reason to keep them secret.

Of course, if they didn’t belong to the Fang family, he wouldn’t write about them as he didn't have time. Even writing down all of what belonged to the Fangs would take him a week or so at full effort.

Writing books is always more troublesome than reading them. Even if one writes with divine inspiration, it still requires much more time!

"Alright, I'll prepare everything right away!" Without a second thought, Fang Ling left to gather the things Free-and-Easy Wanderer needed.

However, after running out, she hesitated. She didn't know where to go and wasn’t sure who would be preparing these items since she had never dealt with this before.

At that moment, Fang Ling's savior appeared: an elderly person slowly approached her. This old man was none other than the head of the Fang family!

The patriarch of the Fang family was heading somewhere to attend to a minor matter when he saw Fang Ling running around and casually asked, "Hey, Lady Fang, where are you rushing off to"

"Ah, Uncle Feng! That's perfect; I need your help!" Fang Ling called out directly without any formalities. In the Fang family, only she and a few others had this privilege.

At the same time, Fang Ling felt very happy because she found the best solution. As head of the Fang family, Uncle Feng would naturally know how to get everything Free-and-Easy Wanderer needed.

"What has alarmed you so" Uncle Feng joked back. For this Lady Fang in front of him, despite her being an elder, he treated her like a younger relative who needed care and was quite fond of her.

"That Xiao Yao wants Four Treasures of the Study as well as bookbinding materials in large quantities!" Fang Ling replied directly, forgetting to mention why she needed them.

Uncle Feng didn't understand this; he asked, "What does he need these for And in such large quantities" If it was just a small amount, perhaps it could be for note-taking or something like that. But if it's in large quantities, then that’s strange! Does he want to publish them

"He knows our lost martial arts skills and wants to write them down!" Fang Ling immediately answered without any intention of keeping secrets.

“What!” Uncle Feng was astounded upon hearing this. "How does he know about our lost martial arts"

"Didn't you forget He said earlier that he came here to pay respects to Ancestor Chen Shiru, and I checked it out. Ancestor Chen Shiru did have an old friend—a fox who has since become a demon and is still alive, guarding the courtyard where she once lived. In her study, there are some martial arts classics of our Fang family." Fang Ling said this all in one breath.

At that moment, Uncle Feng was puzzled by many things such as why Chen Shiru would have a fox companion and what kind of existence this living fox must be now. Also, he didn't understand the situation with Chen Shiru's courtyard—why it wasn’t within the Fang family grounds.

But he didn't care about these matters now because what he was more concerned about were the martial arts manuals in the study. If they had existed since then, wouldn't it mean that all of the Fang family's lost martial arts could return

"Martial arts manuals from three thousand years ago—this is a major issue! I'll immediately instruct people to prepare!" Right after saying this sentence, Fang Hong disappeared before Fang Ling. He was searching for someone to arrange things at his fastest speed. As an existence on the peak of the Imperial Realm, one could only imagine how fast he was.

Soon enough, guests started appearing in the courtyard where Xianyao was temporarily staying. These people were naturally concerned about Xianyao—no, they were more specifically interested in the Fang family's martial arts manuals stored in his mind, and they wanted to confirm if this information was true.

Xianyao told them everything that had happened without any omission. Then these people began discussing it...

"You said there are Fang Family's books in that study. Should we go and take them It wouldn't be good for others to have this kind of thing."

One member of the Fang family directly asked Fang Hong in front of Xianyao.

"This..." Fang Hong hesitated, as he knew it was reasonable to do so, but now wasn't an easy situation. Or rather, it couldn't be handled at all.

"Xianyao, you might be from the Fang Family. Tell us where that detached villa is!"

The previous person asked Xianyao this question with a tone of voice as if he believed Xianyao should naturally answer it.

"You guys can find it yourselves. If you succeed, I wish you good luck and hope you have the chance to return!"

Xianyao spread out a paper and began writing down those martial arts manuals. Although this person in front of him was quite annoying, he wouldn't change his mind because of that.

"What do you mean by that"

At this time, Xianyao didn't answer the question as he felt it wasn't worth it. Meanwhile, someone else answered for him.

Fang Hong shouted at that person: "You idiot! Don't you understand Chen Xi has lived for three thousand years and is a demon clan member!"

"How can there be..." That person wanted to say that with so many people in the Fang Family, why would they fear a mere demon clan member who could be easily exterminated.

Fortunately, he didn't continue as if he did, even he himself would call himself an idiot. A demon clan member who lived for three thousand years was at least a divine realm existence. The Fang Family wouldn't say that they couldn't destroy others; instead, others could annihilate the Fang Family in an instant.

No power dared to move against a divine realm being on the entire continent because no one had the ability to resist such might. Currently, the highest existences of all factions on the continent were Saint Realm martial artists—already absolute experts!

Saint Martial Realm's absolute experts were already legendary figures in the land. Each could be worth a sect and even a major ten-sect.

For instance, take the Tang Dynasty Empire. Without Grand Princess Chen, it would not have been able to defeat Tianmen Sect or even the Fang Family. But with her now, apart from Evil Sect, there was no sect that could oppose the Tang Dynasty Empire on the entire continent!

However, since Grand Princess Chen occasionally went mad, its effect had somewhat diminished.

If even a Saint Martial Realm expert was like this, one could only imagine what kind of existence a Divine Martial Realm would be—absolute power!

"We can talk to Senior Chen Xi and perhaps he will return the items."

The person changed his tone and spoke in a weaker manner.

Xianyao replied at this moment: "Chen Xi won't give you those things because he wouldn't let anything inside change, not even slightly. Moreover, they are books that Chen Shiru once read."

"This..."

"I understand your thoughts but there's no need to consider it. Senior Chen Xi will protect them well and won't allow anyone to touch the contents! What you want, I can write out for you as well," Xianyao continued.

"Though that might be true, you can see it now; perhaps others could too."

"I can because of special circumstances. There won't be exceptions anymore! Also, do you think they will always remain secure in your custody" Xianyao asked back.

"This..."

Speechless, as they had already lost them once. Even if they hadn't, there were still external transmission situations. No family or sect could forever keep their martial arts from being transmitted outside; it was inevitable.

"Regarding going to retrieve things from the detached villa, let's stop here for now. It's a blessing that we got them back after losing them already; we have no further demands!"

Fang Hong expressed his opinion, and he believed no one would bring up this matter again afterward.Palace Suixin looked down upon both Xianyao and the Miss before saying, "Rest assured. Even if she likes me, I wouldn't fancy her. I'm a normal woman who fancies men, so maybe if you were a small serv...
