Chapter 476: Your Father is Quite Impressive! 【10,000 Words!】 (Part 1)

Hearing the crowd's calls, the 'Fourth Brother' finally snapped out of his daze and waved his hand, saying, "You all go ahead to White Elephant Island and wait for me. I have something to take care of."

A question appeared on everyone's faces.

Why did he suddenly have something to do? Aren't we in the middle of a mission?

Fourth Brother frowned and suddenly shouted coldly, "Now! Immediately! Go!"

He had directly given an order.

"Yes!"

The crowd dared not delay, saluted respectfully, and turned to fly away.

But Fourth Brother waited until everyone was out of sight before turning around and hurrying back the way he had come.

He stepped onto the main road, leaped into the air, and moved as swiftly as a shooting star, heading straight for Fang Che.

Fang Che and Ye Meng continued their journey at a steady pace. Just then, his divine sense had detected a group of people passing by in the forest, brushing shoulders with him.

Because of this, he stopped humming, opened his eyes, urged his horse forward, and started chatting with Ye Meng.

"The song you just sang was quite nice."

Ye Meng smiled and said, "It's a bit heroic, a bit weathered, but filled with a ringing and manly spirit."

"Really?"

Fang Che smiled and said, "Then I'll sing it for you often from now on."

"Great!"

Ye Meng smiled, her eyes sparkling.

She was genuinely willing to listen, but the melody of this song, and the calm and heroic sentiment within it, were more suitable for a man. If a woman sang it, it wouldn't be a complete waste of the song, but it would be too soft and not masculine enough.

She couldn't help but feel a bit of regret in her heart.

Just then—

"Swoosh!"

A sharp wind blew in the sky, and a sharp aura made one think of an arrow whizzing overhead.

Fang Che's eyebrows furrowed.

He and Ye Meng pulled on their reins and stopped.

Their gazes fixed ahead.

A black shadow flashed by, and a black-clothed figure stood tall in the middle of the road.

He was over eight feet tall, a truly imposing man.

Standing on the ground, he was like a deep pool and a towering mountain.

Only his temples were white, and his hair had a hint of gray, giving him a slight 'heroic decline' feeling, but it wasn't very obvious.

Because this person's aura was astonishing, and when he moved, it was like the surging advance of thousands of troops and horses, a mighty iron current.

Unstoppable, and no one could resist.

Behind him was a broadsword, its hilt twice as thick as a regular sword's.

He stood on the ground in front of the horse, and his eyes were fixed on Fang Che's face.

His gaze held no sense of superiority or hostility.

Only a strong sense of surprise and uncertainty, and faintly, a forcibly suppressed joy.

Fang Che, riding on the horse, suddenly had a fleeting look of confusion in his eyes. He clasped his fists and said, "Senior, may I ask why you are blocking my wife and me?"

The square-faced man frowned and said, "Wife? Is this your wife?"

"Of course."

"Congratulations, congratulations."

The square-faced man actually smiled and said, "I didn't expect to meet a young couple this time. It's fate... Congratulations to both of you for your happy union and a lifetime of happiness."

"Thank you."

Ye Meng watched from the side, feeling that this person was definitely a senior in the martial world, a high-level martial expert, judging by his aura... She had met very few people who could compare to him...

But when this person spoke to Fang Che, there was something strange.

He was very modest and peaceful, and even... faintly flattering.

He was afraid of offending, and it wasn't just a matter of treating peers as equals. There was also a hint of something else, like... respect? Could it be... a member of the Demon Sect?

But he clearly didn't know Fang Che either... Why? And Fang Che, looking at this square-faced man, also felt something strange.

He could guarantee that he had never met this person before. But for some reason, as soon as he saw this person's face, he suddenly felt a sincere sense of familiarity from the bottom of his heart.

Instinctively, he felt that this person was trustworthy and close.

Even worth risking his life for!

Why was this?

The confusion in Fang Che's eyes only flashed for a moment before he regained his clarity.

His mind was like a clear lake, and he activated it to maintain the calmness of his heart.

He had already guessed it.

This person was probably an old acquaintance from his previous life?

A comrade-in-arms? A fellow disciple? A brother?

Fang Che sighed in his heart. Not only had he lost his memory, but even if he remembered everything, he couldn't acknowledge each other.

The square-faced man looked at Fang Che's face and said tentatively, "My name is Jiang Shangou, and I'm the fourth brother in my family. May I ask for the young master's surname?"

"Me?"

Fang Che smiled and said, "So it's Senior Jiang. My surname is Fang."

"Surname Fang?"

The square-faced man's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and he said without blinking, "What a coincidence. My eldest brother's surname is also Fang."

Fang Che smiled, "That's quite a coincidence."

"May I ask for your full name?" Jiang Shangou asked.

"Fang Che!"

"Fang Che?"

Jiang Shangou's eyes dimmed suddenly, and he said, "Could it be the same Fang Che who is the King Rank Battle's sole champion of the Only Righteous Sect, the Guardian Continent's Chief Official?"

"I dare not accept such praise. Those are just rumors. I'm just carrying out a mission."

Fang Che said modestly.

The light in Jiang Shangou's eyes dimmed again, and after a long while, he forced a laugh, "Chief Fang is too modest. You fought for the Guardian Continent, suppressed the demons, and became the sole champion. You truly deserve the title of the First King!"

Fang Che calmly said, "Senior is too kind."

Jiang Shangou fell silent for a moment and then said, "Chief Fang, may I ask you something."

"Please ask."

"What's the name of the song you just sang?" Jiang Shangou's eyes were fixed on Fang Che's eyes.

What's the name? Fang Che couldn't remember the name of this song no matter what.

He could only smile apologetically, "I really can't remember.

"

He said he couldn't remember, but Jiang Shangou's eyes suddenly lit up as he asked, "Then, if you can't remember, how did President Fang know this song?"

Even Ye Meng felt that something was amiss with this question.

You can sing it, but you don't know its name?

Fang Che explained, "I really can't remember. I just heard someone singing it, so I casually learned a part of it, but I didn't ask for the song's name."

"Then, where did President Fang learn this song from?"

Jiang Shangou had the determination to break a clay pot to get to the bottom of it.

"I think it was in Tiandu. During the last martial arts competition at the White Cloud Martial Academy, I went to Tiandu. At that time, I heard someone singing this song on the street. It sounded very nice, and the rhythm was excellent. So, I followed along and learned a few phrases."

Fang Che's expression remained calm.

"Tiandu?"

A puzzled look appeared on Jiang Shangou's face as he muttered, "How could there be someone in Tiandu singing this song?"

Fang Che replied, "Well, I'm a bit confused about this. Is this song very important to you, Senior? Or is there some connection that others can't sing it?"

Jiang Shangou awkwardly smiled and said, "It's not that others can't sing it, but this song is already hundreds of years old. I didn't expect that someone would still know how to sing it. Hearing it suddenly like this, I can't help but feel a thousand emotions."

He gave a bitter smile and explained, "This song was originally spread by our old leader. At that time..."

A reminiscent look appeared on his face, "At that time, our seven brothers were about to go on a mission to the battlefield. An old acquaintance of our leader, a musician... came to where we lived. When he heard that we were going to risk our lives and might not return, the musician was very touched. He was inspired on the spot and wrote this song for us."

"Then, all seven of us brothers knew how to sing it."

Jiang Shangou said, "After that mission, when we returned safely, the musician had already passed away."

"This song was his final gift to us."

"From then on, it became our brothers' exclusive song. Not many people have heard us sing it."

Fang Che couldn't help but ask, "This song sounds so nice. Why wasn't it spread? Only by spreading it can others remember the name of this musician."

Jiang Shangou coughed and said, "There's a reason why it wasn't spread."

"Oh..."

Since it was like this, Fang Che didn't find it appropriate to ask further.

Jiang Shangou looked at Fang Che's face and said, "My old leader really liked this song. Whenever he was happy, drinking, or sad, he would sing this song. Even when he had nothing to do, he would sing it quietly by himself."

Fang Che affirmed, "This song sounds really good. When sung, it has a powerful aura, it's heroic and manly! There's no complaint, no intensity, it seems calm, but it contains thunder and lightning."

"This is a great song."

Jiang Shangou agreed, "My old leader said the same."

Fang Che nodded, "I see."

He said, "If you want to know how this song was spread, you can go to Tiandu and investigate."

Jiang Shangou paused for a moment and said, "We seven brothers called ourselves the Northern Dipper Lords. I am the fourth brother, holding the position of Tian Quan."

"So, you're the Tian Quan Lord."

Ye Meng spoke up.

Fang Che's heart skipped a beat.

The Tian Quan Lord.

This name was very familiar, and it made him involuntarily recall Meng Chu Xing, as well as her father, Yao Guang Junzhu.

A familiar feeling kept surging through his mind.

Jiang Shangou looked at Fang Che's face with hesitation, unsure of himself as he asked, "What... what did you think of?"

His voice was hoarse.

His expression was tense.

"I seem to have heard of it, it's somewhat familiar."

Fang Che tried to recall, "Because, when I was studying at the White Cloud Martial Academy, the previous Mountain Lord was called Meng Chu Xing. It seems that she was the daughter of a Lord."

Jiang Shangou felt like he had just been doused with a bucket of cold water.

But he wasn't giving up. He looked at Fang Che and asked, "Are you going home?"

"Yes, of course, I'm going home."

Fang Che laughed, "Well, during this period of rest, I'm taking my wife home to visit. Jiang Senior, would you like to come to my house as a guest?"

"Sure."

Jiang Shangou replied.

Then he frowned and said, "Unfortunately, I still have a mission. I'll come to visit after I return."

Fang Che couldn't help but roll his eyes internally.

You're just being polite by inviting him as a guest, and he's actually going?

"Then, you're always welcome to come, Jiang Senior."

"Mhm, since you're always welcome, where is your home?"

This Tian Quan Lord was surprisingly earnest.

And he didn't show any embarrassment at all, asking straightforwardly like this.

If it were someone else, if they invited you as a guest but didn't proactively tell you the address, it would basically mean they didn't welcome you. How could they still ask?

But Jiang Shangou insisted on asking.

And he asked very seriously.

Fang Che helplessly said, "My home is in Blue Wave City, the Fang Family. Once you enter Blue Wave City, you'll find it."

"Blue Wave City, the Fang Family."

Jiang Shangou silently recited the words.

He was afraid he might forget, so he used his sword to peel off a piece of bark and carved five words on it: Blue Wave City, the Fang Family.

Then he held it up in front of Fang Che, "Look, are these the five words?"

Fang Che looked at the bark in front of him speechlessly.

Was this really necessary?

He pinched his nose and said, "Yes, these are the five words."

"Then good."

Jiang Shangou smiled slightly and said, "I will go to Tiandu. My wife's family is in Tiandu, and they're still waiting for our leader to settle the score. Back then, I said she was as fat as a pig, as stupid as a donkey, as short as a barrel, and as ugly as me."

"My wife is really angry," Jiang Shangou said.

"Uh..." Fang Che was speechless. "Your big mouth is truly venomous... But with your looks, you're still a handsome man, definitely not ugly."

"I think so too," Jiang Shangou agreed.

Jiang Shangou laughed heartily, his eyes filled with contemplation and uncertainty, then quickly returned to normal.

"In that case, I'll take my leave. Looking forward to seeing you again... Uh, Fang Che, are you still stationed in White Cloud Continent?"

"Yes, still in White Cloud Continent," Fang Che replied.

"Then we'll have many opportunities to meet in the future," Jiang Shangou smiled. "Safe travels, hurry home."

"Safe travels to you too," Fang Che said.

Jiang Shangou burst into laughter and leaped into the air, disappearing in an instant.

Fang Che and Ye Meng continued on their journey.

After they had traveled for a long time, a figure flashed by on a nearby tree, and Jiang Shangou reappeared in his original spot.

Looking at the road ahead, he furrowed his brows in deep thought.

Puzzled, he muttered, "I don't feel any familiarity... Moreover, his manner of speech and demeanor are different from that despicable big mouth..."

"I didn't even get a reaction from him? That's strange."

"Very strange indeed."

"After this task, I must make a trip to Tian Du. It's a good thing that my second brother is the Mountain Head there, and my third brother is the Deputy Mountain Head. Could it be that they got drunk, sang, and someone overheard them? Could the song have spread?"

He shook his head, thinking that suspecting someone just because they knew the song was a bit far-fetched.

Although not many people knew the song, there were still thousands, if not millions, who had heard it.

Back then, only his seven brothers had sung it, and who knew how many people had overheard them...

But it had indeed been several hundred years since he'd last heard someone else sing it.

"After discussing it with my second and third brothers... If necessary, I'll make another trip to Blue Wave City."

Jiang Shangou stood in place, deep in thought, before finally leaping into the air and flying off.

Fang Che and Ye Meng continued their journey for fifty miles before they started talking.

"That person earlier was actually the Heavenly Pivot Sovereign. I never would've thought it, but his demeanor was a bit odd," Ye Meng said.

"I felt like he was a bit crazy too," Fang Che added.

"I just invited him to come over... I didn't expect him to agree so readily," Fang Che said, feeling speechless.

"Many senior martial artists have this straightforward and earnest personality. It's normal," Ye Meng said, covering her mouth to hide a smile.

Fang Che spread his hands helplessly. "What can I do if it's not normal?"

Ye Meng giggled.

"But his attitude towards me felt a bit strange, like he mistook me for someone else."

Fang Che furrowed his brows, steering Ye Meng's thoughts in a different direction. "Could he think I'm related to someone he knew?"

Ye Meng's eyes lit up. "You know, that's actually possible."

After careful consideration, she said, "I think that's indeed the case. And he should be related to a superior."

"I think so too," Fang Che agreed.

Fang Che nodded, then steered Ye Meng's thoughts further. "Ye Meng, what if my father, whom I've never met... or even know if he's an official... is a high-ranking one?"

Ye Meng burst into laughter, unable to hold it in.

"Don't think about that. If he were a high-ranking official... my mother wouldn't still be in Blue Wave City."

"That's true," Fang Che sighed. "If he were a high-ranking official, I wouldn't have had such a difficult life."

Ye Meng pouted, not wanting to talk anymore.

Why are you having a hard time?

Your life is almost enviable to the entire world, isn't it? With a carefree journey, they arrived at Blue Wave City.

To their surprise, the entire city was adorned with red decorations, from the city gates to every corner, creating a festive atmosphere.

They were astonished. Which wealthy family was marrying off their daughter?

Such a grand occasion? Even the entire Blue Wave City was decorated?

At the city gates, someone recognized Fang Che and shouted with joy, "The number one young master of the world, Fang Che, has returned!"

Instantly, a thunderous cheer erupted, and the city gates became crowded.

Fang Che's face turned black.

What's going on?

I don't even know why I'm so popular...

Upon asking, they learned that the Guardian Hall of Blue Wave City, as well as the Southeast Headquarters, had sent rewards to the Fang family, along with an incredibly cool honor banner and a medal of valor...

Furthermore, they had personally hung a plaque at the Fang family's entrance: Hero Family of the Continent! And the plaque was signed by the Guardian Headquarters!

This news shook the entire Blue Wave City. It was said that Fang Che's uncle, Fang Zhenghang, had almost fainted from happiness several times that day...

Fang Zhenghang laughed so hard that he choked twice...

Now, the Fang family's entrance had become a tourist attraction for the entire Blue Wave City.

Overjoyed, Fang Zhenghang decorated the entire city with red flags, flowers, and lanterns.

Fang Che felt pained seeing this extravagance.

This is a city!

A city of millions!

It's not just a street, Uncle! How can you spend money more than me? You're too extravagant!

Moreover, Fang Che knew his uncle's personality. When he was in a good mood, he would start charitable activities throughout the city, setting up soup kitchens outside the city, and sending gifts everywhere...

He would give out candy and copper coins, not caring about the cost.

Upon closer inspection, there were indeed soup kitchens near the city gates, but not many people were there.

"Why aren't there more people at the soup kitchens?" Fang Che wondered.

"In recent years, as the Fang family prospered, they have been generous with their wealth, and many people have found work... So, the number of poor people around Blue Wave City has significantly decreased.
