"I wish dad and mom good health and peace every year!"
In the dining room, Fang ping raised his glass and drank to his heart's content!
The old couple couldn't stop smiling.
Although they were an old couple, they were actually less than 50 years old.
The couple laughed happily. Fang Yuan looked at Fang ping eagerly, but Fang ping ignored her. 'You're just a junior. You should toast to your brother, not your brother.'
Ignoring her, Fang ping raised his glass again and looked at the sitting gray cat. He smiled and said,"Brother cat, this is a toast to you! A peace-loving cat. If everyone was like brother cat, the world would have been at peace a long time ago!
I hope that there will be more of such powerhouses, I hope that there will be more of such monsters!"
Cang Mao's face was full of curiosity. He raised the wine glass, grabbed it with his paws, and took a sip. Tsk tsk tsk, it didn't taste good!
This action amused the entire family.
This cat had just arrived, and Fang mingrong and his wife were a little afraid.
In the end, after two days, the whole family was no longer afraid.
As Fang ping had said, this was a peace-loving cat.
Sleep after eating, eat after sleeping.
When he had time to go out for a walk, other than eating a little too much, there was nothing unusual.
The old cat didn't care about everyone's laughter. It was very calm. After living for so many years, it rarely got angry, unless someone snatched its food.
Fang ping chuckled as he drank."Brother cat, it's said that New Year's Eve is a custom from the pre-Qin period. It's said that a demonic beast named 'Nian' will devour livestock and harm human lives on this day every year. So, in order to drive away the 'Nian' beast, people came up with New Year's Eve ..."
Cang Mao listened as if he was listening to a story, waiting for the next part.
Fang ping did not know whether to laugh or cry. He laughed and said,"brother cat, were there year beasts in the pre-Qin period?"
Fang mingrong and his wife were shocked to hear this.
What did he mean?
"Pre-Qin ..."
As Cang Mao ate, he recalled,"Is there? I don't really remember! So many demonic beasts, I don't know which one you're talking about. "
Fang ping chuckled and said,"let's not talk about this for now. Brother cat, according to the records, the precinct was formed more than 2000 years ago. You shouldn't have been asleep at that time. Were there any powerhouses in the human world at that time?"
"There are!"
Cang Mao nodded and replied seriously,""At that time, there were many powerful people in the human world! Actually, when the precinct was being built, many people came from the human realm.
In the beginning, most of us were in the human world, and we only arrived in the earth world later on. "
"Why are the humans in the catacombs so different from us? Do we really have the same ancestor?"
"This ..."
The grey cat shook his head,"I don't know!" When I woke up, there were already people in the earth realm and the human realm. At first ... They were almost the same, right? Then, there was the sun ..."
Fang Ping's eyes flickered slightly,"only later did the sun appear?"
"Meow, I'm so hungry!"
The old cat meowed and gobbled up the food. I didn't say it, I didn't say it!
Fang ping laughed and did not force her. After some thought, he said, "I'm actually a little curious. In the ancient legends, some people were really alive! For example, Gong Juanzi seemed to have appeared in the legends, but some people were different from the legends.
Is it because the legends have been passed down and changed, or is it because some of the legendary figures actually existed back then but died later on?"
"He's dead, right?"
Cang Mao was not sure and said casually,"many people died!" Some of them are probably the people in the legends that you mentioned, and they all died in the end. There are fewer and fewer acquaintances. Sometimes, when I wake up, I don't have any acquaintances. "
"How many years has brother cat been asleep?"
"I don't remember!"
Cang Mao looked at him as if he was an idiot. Who would record the time when they were sleeping? wasn't that an idiot?
So be it if he wanted to sleep, he just had to wake up naturally!
"Does brother cat not have a limit to his lifespan?"
"Lifespan?"
Cang Mao thought about it seriously this time, then said with a serious face,"I won't die! Someone said that I can live until the Three Realms shatter!"
Fang ping was stunned.
What did that mean?
This cat ... Didn't have a life limit at all?
How was that possible?
Even a golden body would decay!
No matter how strong an expert was, there would come a day when he would rot, grow old, and die.
This cat actually wouldn't die?
"Who said that?"
"I don't remember. Maybe he's the master of heaven ..."
The old cat said casually. Who would remember this? it didn't care how long it lived.
The more Fang ping chatted with the gray cat, the more he felt that this cat was really a little strange.
A cat that could not die!
A cat that knew countless big shots!
However, there were some memories that it had sealed up, causing it to be unable to understand some things now.
"Is mo Wen sword's master a good or bad person?"
Cang Mao was a little distressed. There were so many questions!
Scammers were especially annoying!
Don't disturb the cat while it's eating, okay?
"It's neither good nor bad. "
"What do you mean?"
"It's just neither good nor bad!"
The blue cat had started to drag out its words, which meant that it was about to go crazy.
If you disturb my meal again, I'll stab you to death!
Fang ping chuckled and had no choice but to stop asking. It was neither good nor bad ... Cang Mao's answer surprised him.
……
Chinese New Year's Eve was over, and the new year had officially begun!
For China, the real New Year would only come after Chinese New Year's Eve. Everything would come back to life and the earth would welcome spring.
This New Year's Eve was truly peaceful for many people.
In previous years, on New Year's Eve, there would be riots in the catacombs.
This year, there was none!
"The battle in Magic City catacombs, the battle in Tiannan, the battle of the Forbidden City ...
The news of three consecutive catacombs battles spread throughout the outer region.
Sino nation had destroyed three Outlands in a row, killing hundreds of rank-9s!
Under such circumstances, the New Year's Eve was extremely quiet. There was almost no movement in the major outer areas, which gave some experts a rare chance to rest.
……
On the island.
At the headquarters of Tian.
When Fang ping arrived, the smell of alcohol was overwhelming!
The martial arts practice field was in a mess.
A group of elderly people were lying on the ground sleeping. All kinds of leftovers were thrown on the ground, and wine bottles were everywhere.
The wine was intoxicating!
Could a little wine make these martial arts powerhouses drunk?
And last night, many people were really drunk.
Fang ping suddenly had an indescribable feeling. Many of the old people here today were homeless!
She had been guarding her home for a lifetime and had no home to return to!
Tian Mu, li Changsheng, beigong Qiu ...
These people were all homeless!
Tian Mu had conquered the catacombs his entire life. Li Changsheng had never married, and beigong Xiong had been in the Forbidden city's catacombs for decades, but he had never married or had children.
There were many people like this.
They were all alone. Sometimes, Fang ping did not quite understand their persistence. Other people fought for their families, for their loved ones, but you ... Why did you fight?
Fang ping suppressed the bitterness in his heart and laughed loudly."I say, aren't you guys going too far? I was just about to come here this morning to pay a New Year's visit and praise everyone for sticking to their posts on New Year's Eve, but this is what I see?"
On a broken table, old man Li was still drowsy-eyed and yawning. "It's the new year, so don't say such things! You didn't spend a few more days with your parents, why did you come today?"
"I have to do something!"
Fang ping said helplessly,"I wasn't in the mood to do anything for the past two days. The new year is already over. I'm the Minister, after all. How could I not come?"
"Deputy Minister!"
Tian Mu rubbed his dark eye circles and corrected him,"Commander Chen isn't dead yet, why are you in such a hurry to replace him?"
Fang ping was speechless. He ignored it and quickly cupped his hands. "Let's not talk about other things first. I wish all the elders a Happy New Year!"
Old man Li said lazily,"you still want red packets?" How old are you? If you have something to do, go do it. If not, don't be an eyesore!"
Fang ping did not reply. He looked around and asked,"What about the people from the heavens beyond heaven?"
"He went to the capital! Old Zhang had set up an audit process and had them go to the capital to follow the procedures and establish a sect. After the new year, he would have them start recruiting disciples. To be more direct, I'm going to pay the protection fee!"
Old man Li laughed."I've laid out quite a few conditions. It's fine to set up a sect, but it's also fine to take in more disciples! Pay up! It's easy to get things done with money. These people have a bit of background, so it's not a bad idea to take out some. "
Fang ping nodded.
This was in line with old Zhang's style.
Since they had agreed to cooperate, old Zhang wouldn't go back on his word. He wouldn't take advantage of them. It was impossible for these people not to pay.
"I'm here for two things!"
"First, check last year's harvest."
"Second, there's something we need to do at Mount zigai. We need to ask for everyone's opinion and see how the Tian Department should act."
Tian Mu continued to rub the dark circles under his eyes and casually said,"That girl from the Chen family hasn't left yet. She's been helping with the logistics. It's the new year and you didn't even greet her.
It's New Year's Eve and you're still working here, but you left after saying that. I was still thinking that you could have invited her to your house for the new year last night. "
Fang ping laughed."Senior brother Tian, you've wronged me. I made a call last night."
"Just a phone call and it's over?"
"Heartless!" Tian Mu cursed."People like you should be like li Changsheng and be single for life!"
Old man Li said gloomily,"I said, don't pull me into this. When I was young, I had too many women pursuing me! I'm engrossed in martial arts and have no interest in these things. "
At the side, beigong Xiong did not say a word.
As soon as he spoke, old Tian would drag him into it.
Tian Mu had gotten married and had children. Although he was no longer around, this was old Tian's capital. He was not single and could only be considered a widower.
Fang ping did not argue, he smiled and said,"teacher li, didn't you have plans to get married?" Why is it yellow now?"
At the mention of this, old man Li's eyes suddenly dimmed for a moment before returning to normal. He scolded jokingly, "It's none of your business!"
When Huang Jing was still around, he was afraid that he would not be able to make it back during the siege on Sky Gate City, so he arranged this for old man Li.
Later on, he didn't die in that battle and even hid for a few days because of this.
In the end ... He still died in Magic city's catacombs not long after.
At the mention of this, Fang ping also thought of Huang Jing. He did not say anything more and quickly walked toward the office building.
After he left, Tian Mu shook his head and said,"that girl is a little dangerous. I'm afraid that this kid is not in the mood to talk about this now. War ... Is a disaster!" Forget about us old people, but these young people can't go home and can't express their feelings. They're afraid that one day they'll die on the battlefield. Sigh!"
"What's the hurry?"old man Li chuckled. The future was still long! If you have the time, think about how to enter the peak. Once you enter the peak, you will have an extra bit of high-end combat power. It will be easier for humans and young people. "
"I'm almost there. "
"I'm following King song's path,"Tian Mu said confidently with a smile."I'm clear about it, but it's just a matter of how long it will take me to reach King song's level. It'll take me a year at most, and three to five months at least.
"I don't have Wu kuishan's confidence to walk two paths. However, if that's the case, I'm afraid I can only deal with some weak true Kings when I reach the absolute nightmare realm.
I can only say that I'm temporarily supporting everyone. The later stages will depend on you guys. "
"I don't like what you're saying!"
Old man Li snorted,"the great path is also forged by oneself!" You're walking King song's path, so don't you have the confidence to surpass him? If you don't have the confidence now, then you really won't have the chance!"
"That's true, the more you live, the more confused you become!"
"Damn it, who hit me last night?" Tian Mu laughed and cursed.
The crowd went silent.
Who knows!
Even if he knew, he couldn't say it. As for who hit him, it was just a few people. Who asked you to be so arrogant? if you didn't hit him, who would you hit?
……
Outside, a group of old men and women were making a big fuss.
In the office building.
In the huge office, Chen Yunxi was busy with a few young female martial artists.
Tian had just been formed. Previously, they had annihilated the evil sect's headquarters and suppressed a few heavens beyond heaven.
He still had to go to Magic city's catacombs and receive the resources that Fang ping had allocated.
There were a lot of things to do, and there were also a lot of miscellaneous things.
Most of mcmau's people were cultivating now, so there was not much to do in school. Chen Yunxi had been temporarily transferred to the heavenly Department. The older people were too lazy to care about these things, so it was almost all the young martial artists who were in charge.
In the office.
Ling Yiyi looked at Chen Yunxi, who was sitting and reading some documents, and complained,""I say, Chen Yunxi, you're so patient. Why are you looking at these things? It's the new year, and I still have to stay here with you ..."
"Sister Yiyi, you should go back first."
"Where are you going?"
Ling Yiyi said gloomily,"it wasn't easy for me to get into the sky Department at the bottom. In order to get into rank-6, I've used up almost half of ccmau's assets. If I don't make a name for myself in the sky Department, how can I have the face to go back?"
'If I don't do these things when I'm the weakest, and that villain Fang ping finds out, he'll definitely make life difficult for me!'
This guy is really narrow-minded ..."
"He's not as scary as you say. "
Chen Yunxi laughed. Ling Yiyi said disdainfully,"Come on! "That guy is as petty as a needle. How long has it been? the last time he saw me, he even asked me if I regretted it. Back then, he asked me to come to mcmau, but I didn 't. Now, I'm here, wagging my ass.
"You're still trying to attack me? back then, in the rank-3 ranking, he was comparable to a rank-9. Qin Fengqing, this fellow, is almost a rank-8 ...
"In the end, I'm the number one rank-3 in martial arts universities, and I'm doing the worst. You're saying that he's not petty?"
Ling Yiyi scoffed.
Fang ping was a vengeful person.
Didn't she say that he liked to hit girls?
It's not like I said it. The outside world is spreading it like this, okay? it's been a long time, and now that we've met, you still want to provoke her.
But then again, it was indeed tragic.
Back then, she was the first in rank-3. When Qin Fengqing was rank-3, he was still suppressed by her.
In the end, that fellow Qin Fengqing did not take the path of invincibility at all and directly entered rank-4.
Fang ping, on the other hand, had left. He had fought with her and won.
Back then, the two of them were considered equal.
In the blink of an eye, the difference between the two sides was like heaven and earth.
She was able to enter rank-6 thanks to li Hansong who had sent a lot of resources back to ccmau. For the recruitment this time, the weakest had to be rank-6.
Ccmau's old Vice-Chancellor was also a decisive person. Knowing that Ling Yiyi wanted to go, he hardened his heart and poured in a large amount of resources, forcibly pushing her from early-stage rank-5 to peak rank-5.
Ling Yiyi herself had worked hard to break through the barrier between rank-5 and conjuring the Sanjiao gate. That was how she had the chance to enter the Tian Department.
"However, when it comes to the sky, she's the weakest type as an early-stage rank-6.
He could only do these chores!
Ling Yiyi was still talking when someone said,""Aren't you afraid of being kicked out for slandering your superior?"
Ling Yiyi jumped in shock and quickly turned around, looking helpless.
He appeared and disappeared like a ghost!
He had not noticed it at all!
This guy was getting more and more terrifying.
"I'm not slandering you. I'm talking about someone else. "
Ling Yiyi denied it instantly. 'I'm not talking about you. Even if I did, I wouldn't admit it.'
Fang ping darted her a look and laughed."Alright, if you have the time to talk, cultivate well! Where did an early-stage rank-6 martial artist get so much to say! "Look at you, you're about to graduate. Is this the most outstanding graduate of ccmau this year?
Looking at mcmau, Yunxi was about to become a Grandmaster, probably within this month.
Xie Lei is at the same level as you. He's been in seclusion for the past few days, and he'll probably be a Grandmaster by the time he comes out.
"The others, like Fu changding, are all at peak rank-6 now, waiting for the opportunity to break through?
"What about you? you're a disgrace to ccmau ..."
Ling Yiyi almost vomited blood!
Can you compare it like this?
"Don't you know what kind of cultivation method mcmau has?
However, when she thought about it ... In the past, between the two, ccmau had more resources. Now, it was mcmau who had earned it by itself. Ling Yiyi was instantly extremely depressed.
'Just you wait. When I get enough resources in the sky and enter rank-7 or rank-8, I'll go back to ccmau and fight in the catacombs too!'
"Over at capital city, the capital city catacombs have not been destroyed yet!
Fang ping threw a few sarcastic remarks at her, then said,"You didn't go back for the new year?"
"If the Minister doesn't say anything, do I dare to go back?"
Ling Yiyi pouted and said,"I'll have to pay you overtime!" I've been so busy these few days. "
"You're just an assistant. What are you busy with? do you really think I don't know?"
Fang ping laughed and said,"alright, if you make a contribution, I'll help you enter peak rank-6!" The premise was that he had enough credits. Back then, Qin Fengqing had exchanged 15 rank-6 heads for it! You, I'll give you a discount. After all, you're a woman, 10 is enough!"
"Really?"
"Nonsense!"
"No problem!"
Ling Yiyi was overjoyed and quickly said,""Then I won't be the third wheel, I'm leaving! "Minister Fang, remember this. I'll be going to the catacombs soon. Remember to level me up!"
"……"
As he said that, he winked at Chen Yunxi and ran off with a smile.
As soon as she left, the other martial artists who were working here also left with smiles.
Chen Yunxi blushed slightly. Fang ping could not help but laugh."These people, if you want to be lazy, just say it!"
He then glanced at Chen Yunxi and said with some emotion,"In the blink of an eye, a few years have passed. In a few months, you'll be in your fourth year ... You don't even think of yourself as a student anymore."
It had been three years!
Chen Yunxi, who used to be a timid person, had changed a lot.
On the battlefield, she was also a heroine who dared to fight and kill.
Back on the surface, the logistics work was also done in an orderly manner.
Back then, Tang Feng had said that she could only do logistics, and it turned out that she was not bad at it. However, when it came to killing enemies, she was not careless at all.
Chen Yunxi, who had been in the mentality-vitality fusion realm for some time, should not have any problems reaching rank-7 in a few months 'time.
Chen Yunxi chuckled. She got up and poured him a cup of tea."Why didn't you spend a few more days with uncle and aunty?"
"I can't stay here any longer. I can't go home often. If I go back, it will only wear down my fighting spirit! After staying at home for a few days, I don't really want to go back to Tian, and I don't really want to go to war ..."
Fang ping laughed at himself."Staying at home is because I really want to just continue living like this. I don't lack food and drink, my parents take care of me, and I sleep until I wake up naturally ... I don't have the mood to fight!"
Shaking his head, he did not continue the topic. Fang ping said, "It's been hard on you this time. You're the one who's taking care of the matters of the sky Department and mcmau. I'm not too at ease if the logistics work is left to someone else ..."
"It's fine. I'm not a weak woman. I'm almost rank-7. This is nothing. "
Chen Yunxi laughed, then quickly said, "I've already arranged everything for you.
First, he wanted to go to the Magic City catacombs to see Chi. It seemed to have an urgent matter.
"Second, interrogate that evil sect rank-9.
"Third, there seems to be catacombs martial artists moving around the Grand Canyon in Magic city's catacombs. We've sent people to check it out earlier. They should be people from the Tianming Royal Court. They might want to have a chat with you. They should be here on behalf of Ji Yao."
At the mention of this, Chen Yunxi said with a half-smile,"Department head Zhang said before that you and Ji Yao should be connected by marriage to win over the Tianming Royal Court. Fang ping, maybe we can talk about it this time."
Fang ping rolled his eyes."You've changed!"
This woman didn't do this before.
Now, he was actually mocking him!
"I've seen Ji Yao once. She's pretty ..."
"Alright, is there any use in running me?"
Fang ping picked up a document and read it as he said,"Humans and the catacombs, a war between races! It doesn't matter if we have the same ancestor or not. Over the past hundred years, millions of Chinese people have died in battle!
Marriage?
Not to mention that the Minister was just joking, even if it wasn't a joke, I would still object to this. It's not my problem, I'm against this policy!
What was this?
Peace?
After fighting for a hundred years and losing so many people, he was now seeking peace just to drag out an ignoble existence?
Although Tianming Royal Court isn't the main force fighting with us, some Tianming cities have invaded us and killed our human experts over the years!
In the battle of demonic city, these powerhouses of the Tianming clan had all taken action. Vice-Chancellor Huang Jing's death was definitely related to them!
The humans would never compromise!
This is the belief that we have been fighting for all this time.
Now was not the time to live an ignoble life and endure humiliation!
"Unless humanity is truly going extinct and there's no other way out. At that time, if someone is really willing to accept us ... So what if we have to endure hardships and taste the courage!
But now, he couldn't do it!
"Once we reach a compromise with the catacombs, we human powerhouses will no longer have the will to fight. We will no longer have the will to die. Mankind will collapse on its own without any attack ..."
Chen Yunxi saw how serious he was and quickly said,"Fang ping, I'm just joking. Look, you're making me so embarrassed."
Fang ping sighed,"it has nothing to do with you. I just thought of something!" "Humans must never compromise. This is what we're holding on to right now. If we lose this, humanity will be finished!
Wavering their faith is a big deal ... Your words have reminded me that there are fewer Wars between the two sides now, and the new generation may not have the faith of their predecessors!
He still had to let them experience more and fight more!
"These people in the catacombs, if you're weak, they'll be strong. You must never reveal your fear of battle! I have to remind old Zhang about this. He seems to have slacked off recently ..."
As he said that, Chen Yunxi looked at him with admiration.
The Fang ping of today could speak with fervour and confidence when it came to major human and National matters.
When it came to department head Zhang and the others, he acted as if they were all colleagues and had a model.
She idolized him. Fang ping could feel her gaze and laughed to himself.
Ji Yao's incident was over, right?
This woman, you're still fighting with me. I've just said a few great principles, and you've already forgotten!
[PS: I'll recommend another book, the city's elite "I can see the status bar". Elite Books don't die. Brothers, you can go and take a look.]
