No one is perfect.

“That scoundrel, he actually dares to come to my Fang Family!”

Initially, Fang Xiaotian didn't feel much about the name Shen Jinkuo.

Or rather, it felt somewhat familiar, but it had already faded from his memory.

But as soon as the person Nian Nian, his daughter, couldn't forget was mentioned, the flames of anger in his heart immediately flared up.

If not for him, how could his daughter have embarked on that path of no return?

If not for him, how could his Fang Family have fallen to such a state?

Not only did the entire Family decline and decay, but now the people of the Fang Family don't even dare to leave their homes, only able to cower within the Family's grand formation.

If not for the Fang Family's grand formation, which was laid out by a peerless expert from earlier years, perhaps the entire Fang Family would have been annihilated countless times by now.

And in Fang Xiaotian's view, Shen Jinkuo was inextricably linked to all of this.

He was just about to step forward and settle the score with Shen Jinkuo.

But after taking a few steps, he stopped again.

Since things had come to this, what was the point of truly dismembering Shen Jinkuo?

Could it change the Fang Family's situation?

It might even make Yier, who had always resented him, resent him even more.

Thinking of this, Fang Xiaotian waved his hand with a dejected expression.

“Tell him to scram!”

“My Fang Family does not welcome him.”

“Furthermore, the news of this person coming to my Fang Family must not be spread outside, nor must it be mentioned to Young Miss at all.”

“My Fang Family can no longer withstand any more turmoil.”

As his voice fell, he heard a servant weakly say, “Family Head, that Shen Jinkuo said that you might not be willing to see him.”

“If you refuse to see him, he asked me to relay a message to you.”

“What message?”

“If he cannot step through the Fang Family's main gate today, he will not leave!”

“You scoundrel, is this daring to bully my Fang Family, thinking we can't deal with him?”

Fang Xiaotian's eyes spewed fire, feeling a raging flame burning in his chest.

“Where is he? Take me there.”

“Today, I want to see what audacity he has to want to enter my Fang Family's main gate.”

In front of the Fang Family's main gate!

The originally boisterous main gate of the Fang Family was now unusually quiet.

All the people from various forces who came to cause trouble had been driven away by Shen Jinkuo.

At this moment, Shen Jinkuo looked at the tightly shut gate of the Fang Family, no longer feeling the heroic spirit of displaying Divine Might and fighting in all directions as he had just now, only anticipation and trepidation.

Would the Fang Family see him?

Did Yier resent him or hate him?

After meeting the people of the Fang Family later, how should he conduct himself?

These questions were all ones he had to face personally.

Just thinking about these questions, truly, a thousand worries and myriad thoughts made his mind a mess, not knowing how to conduct himself.

Just as he was pacing back and forth anxiously around the Fang Family's main gate,

He heard a creak, and the vermilion gate slowly opened.

A middle-aged man in brocade robes walked out from inside.

His eyes blazed with fire, staring directly at Shen Jinkuo: “Are you Shen Jinkuo?”

Shen Jinkuo saw that the other party's brows bore a three-tenths resemblance to Fang Yi, and immediately confirmed the person's identity.

He suppressed his restless emotions, stepped forward a few paces, and bowed respectfully, saying, “Junior greets Fang Uncle!”

Fang Xiaotian looked at him with disdain: “Young Master Shen is a descendant of an Imperial Family, I dare not presume to associate with you.”

“May I ask what guidance you have for visiting my humble Fang Family?”

This sarcastic tone caused Shen Jinkuo's face to involuntarily turn pale.

“Fang Uncle!”

“I know that because of me, Yier has suffered greatly.”

“Even the Fang Family has encountered many hardships.”

“This Junior felt immense self-reproach upon hearing about it.”

“I came this time to make amends for past mistakes!”

“To help the Fang Family overcome its difficulties.”

“No need!”

Fang Xiaotian waved his hand.

He said expressionlessly, “As long as Young Master Shen disappears from my sight immediately, and from now on, never appears before my Fang Family again, that will be the greatest help to my Fang Family.”

“Fang Uncle, this Junior is sincerely remorseful, I beg Fang Uncle to give me a chance!”

Shen Jinkuo hurriedly bowed again, adopting an extremely humble posture.

“Haha!”

“It's not that I, Fang, look down on Young Master Shen.”

“The forces Yier has offended over the years are countless.”

“Among them, there are not a few Supreme-Grade forces, and even powerful existences with Half-Saint experts presiding over them.”

“Although the Branch Master of your Shen Family branch is extraordinary, there are many Imperial Family branches.”

“Just you, a mere Branch Master, probably cannot solve the difficulties my Fang Family faces.”

At this point, Fang Xiaotian paused.

He stared intently at Shen Jinkuo and said, “Moreover, my daughter was severely harmed by you.”

“Her reputation is ruined, her Dao path is bleak.”

“Her spirit is in a trance, her mind is unclear.”

“After a thousand years, she finally showed some improvement.”

“For you to disappear now is far better for her than for you to reappear before her.”

Hearing this, Shen Jinkuo's face alternated between green and pale, filled with shame and not knowing how to conduct himself.

Just then!

A voice came from afar.

“Family Head Fang, your words are mistaken!”

“As the saying goes, only the one who tied the knot can untie it.”

“I think your daughter's heart knot is tangled, and if it's not untied, she might not find release for the rest of her life.”

Just then, a figure stepped out from the Void Realm.

Zhong Qing, accompanied by Diao Deyi, and the two women, Ye Ji and Fire Enchantress, came directly behind Shen Jinkuo, serving as support for him.

“Master!”

Zhong Qing's appearance made Shen Jinkuo's mind tremble.

He felt as if all his confusion and helplessness had found a backbone.

Fang Xiaotian's gaze swept over Zhong Qing.

His brows furrowed slightly.

“This is my Fang Family's affair, does Your Excellency intend to meddle in it?”

Zhong Qing slowly took a sip of wine.

“Indeed, I have no reason to meddle in the Fang Family's affairs.”

“But Shen Jinkuo is my Disciple.”

“I can certainly manage his affairs.”

“Family Head Fang said earlier that the troubles the Fang Family is currently facing cannot be resolved by the identity of a Shen Family Branch Master, but with my Disciple's identity, I can solve this problem for you.”

Upon hearing this!

Fang Xiaotian's heart was slightly stunned.

What arrogant words.

He had already said earlier that the Fang Family had offended countless people and forces.

Among them, there were not a few Supreme-Grade forces, and even Half-Saint-Grade forces.

This person actually said he could solve the Fang Family's troubles.

Did he truly have the ability, or was he blindly overconfident?

He had observed countless people in his life.

But he found that he couldn't see through Zhong Qing at all.

As he was in doubt, he heard Zhong Qing continue, “Family Head Fang, as the saying goes, helping others is helping yourself.”

“Regarding this matter, I know a bit about it.”

“Indeed, my Disciple made the wrong choice before.”

“But no one is perfect; everyone makes mistakes.”

“Why don't we all sit down and talk?”

“What has happened in the past cannot be changed, but what will happen in the future is in our hands now.”

“Perhaps we can find a solution that benefits both sides.”

“What do you think?”

…
