Chapter 162: Returning to the Manor

Chapter 162: Returning to the Manor

While Fang Chen was absent, the southern regions Fang Manor had developed 500 mu of farmland in the area. The surrounding soil was fertile, and there was a ready supply of water too, making it suited for agriculture. (~ 60 football fields)

The nearby civilians had been reluctant to farm in this area due to the beasts and faes roaming in the mountain, but with the construction of the Fang Manor, they gradually realized that there were fewer beast attacks in the area.

Some said that the beasts were afraid of the Fang Manor. Some said that Fang Chens powerful disposition had suppressed them.

Regardless of the reason, many civilians moved to the spirit springs vicinity and rented a few plots of land from the Fang Manor. It was not a tough decision for them to make, as the climate here was more comfortable and more suited to farming.

It didnt take long for a bustling village to be formed in the area, and the most striking building within the village was none other than the Fang Manor.

Master, I would have never thought this place could change by so much in such a short time, Zhong Ying remarked.

This place was still barren the last time she visited; there were only some simple huts aside from the spirit spring. However, it now looked majestic like a massive town in the making.

The Fang Manors foundation is beyond your imagination, the Bear Mountain Sect Master replied with a chuckle.

The two of them walked down a road, where the civilians were busy tilling the fields by the side. Before they knew it, they had arrived at the Fang Manor.

Miss Zhong? The guard recognized Zhong Ying and smiled at her. Miss Zhong, are you here to look for our Second Miss?

Is Little Sister Zhixue here? Zhong Ying asked. I came with my master today to pay respects to Imperial Duke Fang and catch up with Little Sister Zhixue.

Is this the Bear Mountain Sect Master? The guard turned to the Bear Mountain Sect Master and smiled. The Bear Mountain Sect Master is the only power that rivals the Profound Saber Sect in the current southern region. I have long admired you.

Youre too polite. The Bear Mountain Sect Master politely clasped his fist.

He couldnt help but be surprised by how dignified the Fang Manors guard was. No wonder others secretly call them Great Xias number one clan, putting it even above the imperial family.

The Fang Manors guards had clashed with Chillwaters Nightmare Knights and massacred them just a while back, after all. No one would dare to look down on them after that.

Our young master is currently in the capital, so Im afraid that

Before the guard could finish his words, he suddenly looked behind them and respectfully bowed. Young master.

Third Junior, I told you that our master has guests. Youre scaring them! a hoarse voice echoed. The intonation of each syllable sounded off, as if the other party was a foreigner.

Following that, a massive ape appeared at the door and clasped his fist toward Fang Chen. Master, our Third Sister has recently made a breakthrough. She was excited to relay the news to you when she heard about your return. Please pardon her for this.

They really are faes, and they can even speak the human tongue at that!

The Bear Mountain Sect Master and Zhong Ying were bewildered.

Zhong Ying immediately recognized Victorious Buddha to be the ape fae they had met the other day, and she was astounded to hear the other party addressing Fang Chen as master.

Dont worry, they are faes who reside in the mountain forest. They have been enlightened, and I have taken them in as my disciples, Fang Chen consoled the two of them.

He walked to the entrance and looked at Victorious Buddha, Great Mountain Tiger, and the excited Azure Sky. Then, he nodded in approval. Your spirit ki has become purer. Youre slowly getting onto the right path. Azure Sky has managed to manifest her third immortal vein as well.

Fang Chen took out a hundred low-grade ki stones and passed them to Victorious Buddha. Ill be going on a long journey soon. These ki stones should be enough for your cultivation for the time being.

Thank you, master. Victorious Buddha kneeled down and kowtowed.

Even after the three faes left, the Bear Mountain Sect Master struggled to snap out of his daze. The sight of the faes kneeling to Fang Chen simply left too strong of an impression on him.

I-Imperial Duke Fang, are those three the legendary faes? the Bear Mountain Sect Master asked with a stutter.

Indeed. Fang Chen nodded.

To think that there are really faes in this world the Bear Mountain Sect Master muttered.

They had heard of faes in folklore, but they never thought that there would be faes capable of human speech in the world. This defied their common sense.

All beings in the world are blessed with spirit. Theres nothing surprising about that, Fang Chen remarked. The two of you traveled here from afar. Why dont you spend a few days in our Fang Manor?

The Bear Mountain Sect Master thought about it, but he turned down the offer. There were many things they needed to prepare for the move. Now that he knew that the three faes were Fang Chens disciples, he was even determined to move over as fast as possible.

Fang Chen saw them off before heading to Fang Zhentians courtyard.
