January 31st, the 28th of December.
Fang ping returned to Magic City that day.
He did not go to school, did not go to the catacombs, and did not even return to the Tian Department.
……
Fang ping returned home in the afternoon.
Walking in front of the neighborhood, Fang ping was a little dazed.
How long has it been since he came back?
Home was right in front of him.
His parents had moved from Sun City to Magic City. Fang ping returned even less, even if he could arrive in an instant with his speed.
It felt like he had gone back once during the summer vacation. In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed!
Fang ping had not returned for more than half a year.
He was too busy!
He was too tired!
It wasn't that he couldn't go back, but he always thought that he would go back when he had more free time.
However, every time he thought of this, the moment of leisure would pass by in a flash.
In the second half of 2010, Fang ping had done too many things and killed too many people.
Fang ping walked in as he arrived at the entrance of the residential area.
The moment the security guard at the entrance of the neighborhood saw Fang Ping, he was first in a daze, and then he was filled with deep respect.
The four security guards were like soldiers at this moment. They suddenly saluted and shouted,""Good day, Minister Fang!"
Admiration, that was true!
"The catacombs have been made public. Over the past hundred years, tens of millions have died in battle.
"Magic city's catacombs have been open for more than 60 years. How many people have died in Magic City?
How many martial artists, how many elites had died in Magic City catacombs?
A few days ago, Fang ping had led mcmau and pacified Magic city's catacombs. This was an unparalleled achievement!
Even these security guards knew of Fang Ping's achievements.
The security guard Captain of the residential area was also a martial artist and a retired soldier. He had once been stationed in Magic city's catacombs. He was injured in Magic city's catacombs and retired to become the security guard Captain.
When they talked about the dangers of the catacombs, these security guards were all shaken to the core.
"And such a dangerous catacombs was finally pacified by a young man. Who wouldn't admire that?
Moreover, he was one of the top powerhouses in the world, ranked second on the rank-8 list, and had the ability to fight a Grandmaster.
"Hello."
Fang ping reined in his emotions and focused.
When he arrived at his home, he felt a little homesick.
Over the past six months, they had communicated with his parents over the phone a few times, but they were so close to each other, yet they had never seen each other.
The Fang couple was worried about affecting their son, so they did not dare to go to mcmau to look for Fang ping. They could only find out about their son's situation through Fang Yuan.
Thinking of this, Fang ping let out a soft breath.
Protecting the country ... Sometimes, he would be confused. Was his family more important than his country?
He said it was for his little family, but in the end ... He hadn't returned to his little family for a long time.
"Before this, we viewed mcmau as a small family.
Now, with the establishment of Tian, the scope of this small family seemed to have expanded a lot. Step by step, he felt that something was wrong.
"Something's wrong!"
"Old Zhang seems to be scamming me!"
"You're pushing me to the edge of the cliff!"
Fang ping muttered to himself. He nodded at the security guard and strode home.
Old Zhang had tricked him!
He seemed to have fallen into a trap!
"We agreed that I would not be like him. I am a selfish guy, but now ... I seem to be walking down his old path!"
……
While Fang ping was thinking about this, some people in front of the community gate said in surprise,"Why is Minister Fang here?"
This was a new resident. An old resident hurriedly said,""You don't know this! When Minister Fang was still an mcmau student, he had bought a house here. His parents had settled down here.
However, I haven't seen Minister Fang for a long time. I did see him sometimes before. "
"Minister Fang is too busy. I heard that the sky Department was established a few days ago, and Minister Fang led some Grandmaster powerhouses out to fight."
"Sigh, a martial arts powerhouse! I was envious in the past, but now ... I can't say that I'm envious. Have you all seen the list that the government released previously? All these years, so many grandmasters have died in battle ... It's both respectable and regretful. "
The one who spoke was a middle-aged man. Before the catacombs were made public, who would not be envious of these powerhouses? who would not be jealous of them?
A real big Shot, a privileged class!
Grandmaster-level powerhouses, regardless of whether they were from the public or the government, would be personally received by the local governor to show respect.
At that time, everyone was extremely envious and jealous.
However, now that the catacombs had been made public and the government had publicized the list of people who had died in battle over the years, the grandmasters 'names were listed one by one. At this moment, there was only respect and no hatred.
These grandmasters used their lives to explain what a Grandmaster-class powerhouse was!
He had to be the first in every battle!
As the middle-aged man spoke, someone else said in a deep voice,""In the face of a great disaster, there will always be someone who stands up, stands up! "Minister Fang and the others are the heroes of this era. There's not much we can do. Minister Fang has a lot of things to do. Since our relatives live in the same community as us, if there's any trouble in the future, we'll just do our best to help!"
"Well said! This is only right!"
The group of people chimed in one after another. Even though they were old and could no longer advance in martial arts, they were still impassioned at this moment.
Whether it was sincere or not, to be able to say these words, even Fang ping, who had already gone far away, felt much more comfortable in his heart.
Most of the time, faith would inadvertently rise from this.
Some martial artists would sometimes feel indignant!
Why?
Why should martial artists go to the front lines? why should these mediocre guys hide in the rear and enjoy the golden age?
The front line was fighting a bloody battle, while some people were still eating and waiting for death at the back.
Some people used to complain and be dissatisfied. Many times, when Warriors heard these discussions, they would feel upset.
Now that the catacombs were open to the public, there were fewer such voices.
A warrior's status was something that was exchanged with his life.
"The martial artists of today are much less resentful than they were in the past. It has to be said that there are advantages and disadvantages to making the catacombs public.
Fortunately, the situation on earth was still stable, and a group of powerhouses from China had also made many arrangements. Overall, the advantages still outweighed the disadvantages.
……
In the villa area.
In the courtyard of the Fang family's Villa.
Fang Yuan seemed to know that Fang ping had returned, or she had heard the call of an outsider. At this moment, she ran out of the house. When she saw Fang ping, she was overjoyed and shouted,"Mom, dad, brother is back!"
Fang ping could not help but laugh. He quickly entered the small courtyard and said, amused,"Is there a need for such a big flag when I come back?"
Fang Yuan said happily,"you said that you'd be back once you're done with Magic city's catacombs. In the end, you've been busy preparing for the Tian Department. You haven't been home! I even told mom and dad that you'd be home soon!
It's almost the new year, brother, you have to keep your promise next time!"
"You're the only one with a big mouth!"
Fang ping laughed and reached out to pinch her cheek.
Fang Yuan, however, moved her feet and dodged quickly. She said unhappily,"No pinching! I'm already a middle-ranked martial artist!"
"Yo, you're even trying to be awesome with me?"
Fang ping laughed again. At this moment, Fang mingrong and Li Yuying walked out of the room.
When she saw Fang ping, Fang mingrong did not react, but Li Yuying's eyes were bloodshot.
In the blink of an eye, he had not seen his son for more than half a year.
He only knew that his son was out there fighting, getting stronger and stronger as he fought, from middle-ranked to high-ranked, from a student to a Vice-Principal, and then to a Deputy Minister!
His status was getting higher and higher, but the higher his son's status was, the more nervous the couple became.
His strength had grown, his status had risen, and the enemies he encountered had also become stronger!
"Sometimes, the news will also report on the catacombs and introduce the situation of some powerhouses.
These people could shatter space and were omnipotent. They were extremely powerful.
Now that their son's opponents were all these people, how could the couple not be worried?
"Mom, don't cry when you see me!"
Fang ping chuckled,"aren't I fine now?" Our son has done well for you! Now that you're the Vice Minister of China, you'll be able to dominate the world!"
"You only know how to say nice things!"
Li Yuying rebuked, her eyes red. "You're that busy? Your house is just at the door, why didn't you say you were coming back to visit?"
Beside him, Fang mingrong smiled and consoled,"Pingping is in charge of many things now, don't always give him trouble! You're back. Come in quickly, your mother was just talking about you ..."
Fang ping chuckled and strode into the house.
Staring at his parents, Fang ping was a little surprised, but also a little enlightened. He smiled and said,"Dad, mom, you're both rank-2 martial artists now. Did Gungun bring you back after stealing my resources?"
Behind them, Fang Yuan, who had followed them in, pouted and said gloomily,"Brother, don't wrong me! Dad and mom have the resources that are subsidized by the government. You're already the Deputy Minister, so the government also has subsidies and subsidies. They've all been sent home. "
Fang mingrong was all smiles as well. He sat down on the sofa and nodded."Roly Poly is right, these are resources given by the government! He said that you've made a lot of contributions, but you can't use it, so he sent it home.
Your mother and I are not young anymore, and we don't expect to have any great prospects in martial arts, but at least we have some capital to defend ourselves ..."
Fang ping nodded slightly and said no more.
These resources were not worth mentioning to him.
"Nowadays, the whole nation is practicing martial arts. Even if parents don't practice for the sake of fighting, it's good for them to practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies. At least rank-2 martial artists won't fall sick.
Fang ping had just sat down when his eyes suddenly widened in the next second!
"What ... What's going on with you?"
Fang ping was dumbfounded when he saw the gray cat coming out of the kitchen!
Why did this cat run to his house?
I'll go!
I remember that when I left, it was brought to the island!
At the kitchen door, Cang Mao was lazily biting on a plate of ribs. When he heard this, he wanted to say something, but then he realized that he was still biting on something. At this time, he suddenly stood up, picked up the plate, and said as he ate,""I just came here, help me find the ball! I'm going back!"
"……"
The moment the cangmao spoke, Li Yuying and Fang mingrong turned pale with fright. However, the couple quickly looked at Fang ping and calmed down slightly. They suppressed their panic and did not speak.
A talking cat!
If it was in the past, it would have scared people to death.
However, the couple knew a little about the situation in the martial arts world now. They knew that there were monsters in the catacombs too.
It seemed normal that monsters could speak.
The couple suppressed their panic, while Fang Yuan's eyes were rolling around.
This cat was famous among the high-ranked powerhouses!
Most people did not know about the gray cat, but she was Fang Ping's sister, so she still knew.
This cat seemed to be stronger than her big brother!
Hearing the old cat's words, Fang Yuan hurriedly smiled. Her already emaciated round face appeared again, and she said with a smile,""Are you the grey cat? What little round ball are you looking for? I have so many little round balls ..."
Cang Mao glanced at her, swallowed a piece of rib in one bite, and muttered.
The others did not hear it, but Fang Ping's ears twitched. He said quickly, "I'll have a chat with the gray cat. Dad, mom, you guys cook first. I haven't been back in a long time, so I'll make more delicious food today!"
After saying that, Fang ping stood up and gestured to the gray cat to walk towards the balcony together.
……
On the balcony.
The old cat continued eating. Fang ping stared at it for a while, frowning slightly."Brother cat, why are you in such a hurry to find little round ball? With your personality, it's not your style to follow me all the way to my house. "
"Creak ..."
The old cat continued to bite on the ribs, too lazy to answer.
"Brother cat, you seemed to have said something just now. Since you're here, if you don't mind, why don't you tell Fang ping?"
Cang Mao raised his head and glanced at him, his cat face showing some hesitation.
"That chubby face just now, is he your family?" he muttered after a while.
Fang ping was stunned for a moment. He suddenly felt like laughing.
You're a big fat cat, and you have the nerve to call this fatty and that little chubby face every day?
Why don't you take a look at how fat your face is!
"It 's, it's my sister! 'Brother cat, please speak frankly. Fang ping is not someone who doesn't know his limits. If there are some things that don't affect brother cat, please tell me!' Is there something wrong with my sister?"
"I don't know!"
Cang Mao scratched his ears with his greasy paws and said,""I smell someone familiar! It was not a chubby face. Someone familiar seemed to have come into contact with her before. Fang ping, you should be careful. Little sword was like this in the past too ...
After that, the small sword went crazy!"
Cang Mao was a little depressed, lying on the ground and continuing to eat,"some people are very bad, always thinking of bad ideas! Xiao Jian used to be very good, but his wife died, and he went crazy.
Don't go crazy too, that won't be good ..."
Cang Mao was even more depressed.
If he went crazy, he wouldn't be the original person.
Fang Ping's expression was serious,"acquaintances?" "Brother cat, this matter concerns Fang Ping's family. Please tell us more, who is it?"
He hadn't returned for a long time because he wanted to play down some things.
A martial artist would never be threatened because of his family!
Even if his family was killed, he would never put down the weapons in his hands and let others slaughter him!
This was a martial artist!
Although he was fighting to protect his family, he was not stubborn and was controlled by his family at the critical moment.
However, that was only if he had no other choice!
Who could tolerate their loved ones being killed?
Fang ping had brought his parents to Magic City because he felt that Magic City was safer. Most people would not dare to do anything under his nose.
Even the evil sect back then did not dare to come to Shanghai to capture his family to threaten him.
But now, it seemed that someone had set their sights on his family!
Fang ping could not tolerate this!
Even if the other party was an Emperor-ranked powerhouse, he would not let the matter rest!
Cang Mao was a little depressed,"it's a little familiar but I can't remember!" "All of you will encounter this kind of thing now. It's not just you. Many others will ...
Some bad guys don't look for you, but look for your family!
Many years ago, there were already bad people who did these bad things ...
To train someone else's disciple and let the disciple kill the master ...
To raise their son and daughter and make them kill their elders ...
There are so many bad guys anyway!"
Cang Mao's face was filled with disappointment,"you humans, some of you are really bad!"
Fang ping did not care about this. He pressed on,"Brother cat, you really don't know who my sister is in contact with? Do you know roughly when you came into contact with him?"
"Just recently."
Cang Mao raised his head and thought for a while,"It seems like it's not just this chubby face, there are a few others too ..."
"How many people are there?"
Fang Ping's gaze shifted slightly, quickly conjuring a few blurry figures.
The grey cat took a look and scratched his head,""I think it's them!"
Fang Ping's eyes were cold and sharp!
He had conjured two of Zhang Tao's descendants!
Zhang an and Zhang Xue!
Zhang Tao's grandson and granddaughter!
Someone was actually contacting them!
One had to know that these people had always been in Shanghai, yet someone actually dared to show up in Shanghai!
This place was often visited by the absolute peak.
Even Zhang Tao would come over frequently.
"You're very bold! He was very confident! They're scheming against us. Are they treating us like the mo Wen sword?"
Fang ping gritted his teeth. He should not implicate his family!
Even if he couldn't win, he would accept it.
I hate this kind of bastard who does things in the dark!
"Brother cat, can we still find him in Shanghai?"
Cang Mao shook his head and said,"I don't think there's a familiar smell here ..."
"Is the other party a man or a woman?"
"I don't know!"
The old cat continued to shake its head. It was just a little familiar, but who knew if it was a male or female.
"Did you only start to contact my sister and the others recently?"
"Probably."
Fang ping nodded slightly, exhaling."Thank you, brother cat! I'll remember this!"
He was prepared to contact old Zhang immediately and arrange for people to investigate them one by one!
He could also ask Fang Yuan and the rest who they had been in contact with recently!
However, for powerhouses who were so confident that they dared to act in Shanghai, they might not be able to detect anything.
However, this incident reminded Fang ping that even if it was Magic City, it did not mean that it was safe.
Someone wanted to use the same old trick he used on mo Wen sword to deal with them. Wishful thinking!
"A bunch of old and undying things! He only knows how to play with these things all day long. If this kind of person becomes an Emperor, then the heavens must be blind!"
Fang ping cursed in a low voice!
He suddenly looked at Cang Mao and smiled,"brother cat, my house has a lot of good food!" How does my mom's pork ribs taste? Brother cat, why don't you stay at my house for a few days?"
Cang Mao pouted. Don't you know how to bully cats?
This Liar Wanted to trick a cat into looking after his house. No way!
I'm not a guard cat!
Cang Mao shook his big head. No, he wasn't willing, he wasn't willing.
"Brother cat, it doesn't matter where you sleep. It's the same here, isn't it?"
"Don 't!"
Cang Mao refused again. If I don't do this, I won't look after the house.
Seeing this, Fang ping laughed."How about this? before the little ball is found, brother cat will be a guest at my house for a while. After we find it, you can feel free to do as you please. How about this?"
Seeing that it was about to reject him again, Fang ping said quickly,"I also know many places that have good food! In the catacombs, there were many drinks like life essence and a large number of delicious fruits like cat fruits ...
"In a few days, I'll probably make a trip to the catacombs. I'll bring some back for brother cat.
I'm probably the only one in the world who can bring it back. How about I let you have a taste?"
Cang Mao was a little moved, but he still said gloomily,""But I don't fight! If someone really smacked chubby boy's face, should I fight?"
"No need!"
Fang ping agreed readily. He laughed."Once you've caught the other party, send him to me or to the fake human Emperor. We'll help you poke him to death!"
"Oh."
"Right, was the person who came into contact with my sister the same person as the Pope?"
The gray cat shook his head and said,"it doesn't seem the same, the taste is different ..."
Fang Ping's eyes flickered. That meant that there were still powerhouses on earth with ill intentions!
He was extremely powerful!
If he wasn't strong enough, he probably wouldn't have the guts to take action in Shanghai.
The other party was confident that even if old Zhang came, he could hide or sense it in advance and escape quickly.
As for Fang ping ... The other party probably did not care at all.
Fang ping could not find any traces of those at the absolute nightmare realm either!
The person who came was at least at the absolute nightmare realm and had even reached the second boost of the venerable sovereign realm.
"You're so audacious!"
Fang ping cursed in his heart. 'It's best if I don't find any clues. Otherwise, I'll call old Zhang and the others to kill the other party no matter what!'
Not only did he use him as a chess piece, but he also wanted to touch his family.
Taking a deep breath, Fang ping had agreed with the gray cat to stay in his house for the time being.
As for whether the old cat had really come by accident, for the ball, or just to remind him, no matter what, Fang ping did not want to guess too much.
This cat, at least for now, was helping them.
The man and cat chatted for a while.
Cang Mao's knowledge was limited and could not give an explanation. Fang ping did not ask further. If he asked any more, Cang Mao seemed to be a little annoyed.
……
Coming out from the balcony, Cang Mao was still basking in the sun and eating.
Fang ping saw his parents looking at him. He smiled and said,"the old cat will be staying at home for a few days. Mom, cook more rice next time. Prepare one for it."
Li Yuying hurriedly nodded, then said uneasily,""This ... Monster ..."
Was it appropriate to keep a monster at home?
Fang ping coughed lightly and laughed."It's fine. You can just treat it like a normal cat. It's quite cute, just that it eats a little too much."
"That's nothing. We don't lack food at home ..."
Seeing that his mother was relieved, Fang ping coughed lightly and said,"That ... Prepare more! Even if it ate tens of thousands of Jin of food, it still wouldn't be full ..."
"……"
The whole family fell silent!
What was this?
You don't even raise pigs like this, right?
Did all monsters have such a huge appetite?
Li Yuying didn't know whether to laugh or cry. When her son told her to prepare an extra set of Food, She Thought it was an ordinary one. Now ... Li Yuying suddenly had a headache about what was to come.
She had a headache, but Fang Yuan said eagerly,""Brother ... Can I pinch it?"
That cat was very fat!
The first time she saw his fat face, she wanted to go up and pinch it, but she was afraid that the old cat would get angry. Even big brother couldn't stop it.
"Don't mess around!"
Fang ping turned his head and glanced at the old cat, who was still playing dead. He suddenly laughed."You can brush its fur when you're free!"
This old cat seemed to like having people brush his hair.
The Wargod had done this back then, and he was still alive.
Let Fang Yuan brush on it. If this cat really saw Fang Yuan in danger, would it help?
"The bristles ... Okay!"
Fang Yuan was in high spirits and quite excited.
"Actually, you guys can try to pinch each other's faces!" Fang ping joked.
Fang Yuan pouted. I'm not as fat as that cat!
Fang ping laughed out loud. As he laughed, his heart grew colder. He would call old Zhang later. He was being bullied!
Old Zhang even said that he was the boss in China, and he could beat up whoever he wanted ...
Now, she was being bullied!
