withdrew his divine sense and stood up."No, please don't kill me, don't kill me…" Qiu Tianyi, covered in blood, cried out for mercy.Fan Yu stretched out his right foot and kicked Qiu Tian Yi up into...Ou-yang Xiu widened his eyes, filled with surprise and excitement. 。He looked at Fang Yu before him, and many scenes from years ago flashed through his mind. 。Back then, he and Huixu were just two clueless youngsters with nothing but brash energy. 。If he hadn't met Fang Yu, he and Huixu would have lived ordinary lives like most people in the world. 。"The other day, Huixu informed me that you had returned to Beidu and even met your son Chengdao... I immediately rushed back. I just arrived this morning, and unexpectedly..." Ouyang Xiuyuan was so excited that his words became jumbled. He stared intently at Fang Yu >>> 。Fang Yu went around the tea table and sat opposite Ouyang Xiuyuan, with a smile on her face: "I just happened to be here today. I sat downstairs for a while and sensed your aura, so I came up." 。"Ouyang Xiuyu immediately stood up and poured a cup of tea for Fang Yu. " 。"Big Brother Fang, this cup of tea is from Xiu Yuan, as a gesture of respect to you." 。Ouyang Xiuan bent down, offering a teacup with both hands. 。Okay, no need for all the formalities. 。"Fang Yu took the teacup and said" 。Ouyang Xiu sat back in his position, watching Fang Yu drink down a cup of tea. His emotions had calmed considerably. 。"Brother Fang, you are still the same as before, nothing has changed." 。Ouyang Xiu laughed far away and said 。In my eyes, your changes aren't that big either. 。"Fang Yu said" 。Ouyang Xiu shook his head and said, "Old, Fang Ge, I am really old. " 。Everyone will grow old. 。But your spirit, it's far superior to that of a hollow shell. 。"Fang Yu smiled faintly," 。"With so much to consider... he needed to be careful." 。"Compared to him, my life is much easier," Ouyang Xiuyan said with a slight narrowing of his eyes. 。"What have you been up to these years" Fang Yu asked. 。Hearing this question, Ouyang Xiuyan smiled awkwardly and said, "If I say it out loud, Brother Fang might laugh at me." 。"How could I make fun of you" Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and said, "Go on." 。"

"Well," Ouyang Xiuyan nodded and said, "For a long time after you left, I devoted myself entirely to cultivation." 。Until fifty years ago, I had cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage. 。After that, I began to feel the limits of my own talent...I continued to practice hard, but the efficiency was not high...Gradually, I accepted this reality. 。began to shift focus to other areas. 。"In what aspect" Fang Yu asked. 。

Ou-Yang Xiu’s face showed hesitation, as if he didn't want to say anything. But facing Fang Yu's gaze, he finally sighed and said: “Later, I shifted my focus to the thing that you, Brother Fang, dislike the most.” 。"

I began to focus on increasing the influence of my name" 。"In recent decades, the OuYang family has risen rapidly to become the most powerful family in Zhongdu, without a doubt." 。Ouyang Xiuyuan started hesitantly at first, but as he went on, his speech became more fluent and confident, with a hint of pride in his eyes. 。In just a few decades, it has allowed its own family to become the first family in Zhongdu. This achievement is undeniable. 。

"Not bad" 。"Fang Yu took a sip of tea and said, 'Personally, I don't like to get involved in matters of various factions, but I don't think everyone should be like me.'" 。I don't think you are wrong for doing that. 。"Hearing what Fang Yu said, Ouyang Xiuyuan sighed again and said: 'I'm just ashamed. Back then, both I and Huixu were your students.'" 。But Huai Xu went further and further in the path of cultivation, and became the de facto leader of the Bei Du Martial Arts Association. 。But I took a wrong path, my cultivation stagnated, and in terms of achievement in martial arts, I am far behind Huixu...”

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at Ouyang Xiuyuan, saying: “Your cultivation realm is not much inferior to Huixu, either. I can sense it from your aura.” 。"

Ouyang Xiu shook his head and said, " Realm is one thing, but true strength is another. " 。"Speaking of which, Ouyang Xiuyu let out a wry smile and said, “Brother Fang, when we used to spar, I always had the upper hand." 。But now you're asking me to spar with Huai Xu, I'm afraid I couldn't even last a round. 。Seeing Ouyang Xiu's appearance, Fang Yu recalled the situation back then. 。When I first met Huixu and Ouyang Xiuyuan, the two were already very good friends. 。。Fang Yu saw them for the first time when they were being beaten by over twenty of that young master's men. 。Back then, these kinds of things happened frequently. Ordinary passersby wouldn't pay any attention and wouldn't dare to lend a hand. 。When Fang Yu passed by, Ben also just wanted to glance at it and watch the excitement. 。Then he saw Huixu and Ouyang Xiuyan, beaten to a pulp and almost unconscious. 。That young master lifted his foot and stomped on Ouyang Xiuyuan's face, making them beg for forgiveness. 。But Ouyang Xiu and Huai Xu, remained utterly silent. 。That young master, furious and exasperated, gathered the twenty-odd men behind him and had them surround Ouyang Xiuyuan and Huixu, urinating and spitting on them. 。Ouyang Xiuyuan and Huixu were unwilling to suffer humiliation, gritted their teeth and desperately pounced on the young master, biting him like wolves. 。As a result, naturally, the subordinates who reacted came over and besieged him once again. 。Seeing that the two were about to be beaten to death, Fang Yu stepped forward and drove away the group of people, saving the two young men. 。This is how they met. 。During that time, Fang Yu lived in that small town, so Ouyang Xiuyuan and Huixu came to see him every day. 。They were impressed by Fang Yu's skills and wanted to ask him to be their master and learn martial arts from him. 。Fang Yu was not willing to teach them at first, but later he was really annoyed enough, and moreover, he did think highly of the two people, believing they had the potential to become successful. 。Thus, Fang Yu led these two people onto the path of cultivation. 。During this process, Fang Yu discovered that Huixu's cultivation talent was quite poor. Amongst a large group of ordinary people, he stood out in no way. 。While Ouyang Xiu's talent was remarkable, even compared to those so-called geniuses, it was no less astounding. 。Therefore, after cultivating for a period of time, Ouyang Xiuyuan distanced himself from Huixu. 。At the greatest disparity, Huai Xu was still at the eleventh level of the Qi Refining Period, while Ouyang Xiuyan had already stepped into the Core Formation Period. 。The difference between two major realms

Fan Yu, according to the characteristics of the two people, taught them different cultivation mental methods. 。Then, because Huixu worked hard enough, he began to slowly catch up with Ouyang Xiuyuan. 。Even though he was initially two realms behind, Huixu entered the Yuanying stage around the same time as Ouyang Xiuyuan. 。After that, Fang Yu left. 。As for the subsequent developments of Wei Huaixu and Ouyang Xiuyuan, Fang Yu was unaware. 。But for a while, Fang Yu had seen the name Huixu on the Saint List, ranked fifth. 。But the name of Ouyang Xiu's distant relative, I did not see. 。

Combined with what Ouyang Xiu said earlier, we can get a general idea of how these two people will develop in the future. 。Despite having mediocre talent for cultivation,

Huixu worked tirelessly and steadily climbed his way up, eventually becoming a prominent figure in the Beidu martial arts world. 。While Ouyang Xiuyuan chose to support the family business, making the Ouyang clan the first family in Zhongdu. 。Their life paths, starting from the same point, gradually diverged into two distinct directions. 。However, Fang Yu did not believe that one person's path was right and another's was wrong, nor did he think there was a hierarchy between them. 。

It's simply a matter of two different choices.

"Since your family has a foothold in Zhongdu, why did your son run to Beidu" Fang Yu asked. 。Ouyang Xiu stood up and poured tea for Fang Yu, saying: "Because... I want to gradually move the family to Beidu..." 。"

Oh" 。Fang Yu nodded and said, “So, this club is a foothold.” 。"Yes" 。"Ouyang Xiuyuan said, 'The difficulty of establishing oneself in Beidu is extremely high.'" 。Because the martial arts world of Beidu is like an island, completely isolated from other regions' martial arts worlds. 。My family holds the top position in Zhongdu, but when we arrived in Beidu, even the lowest-ranked martial arts families wouldn't look at us. 。"Therefore, starting ten years ago, I planned to enter the martial arts world of Beidu and gradually transfer the core of the family over here..."

"How did it turn out" Fang Yu asked 。Just like Brother Fang sees now. 。All in all, it's not bad. 。"Ouyang Xiu smiled faintly." 。s to have reached their peak.Some people choose to stop and be the head of a chicken rather than the tail of a phoenix.But the vast majority of people will still choose to continue climbing upwards.Th...
