Ye Hao asked in confusion, "Who dares to trouble your daughter, Elder Fang?"

"Their origins are very mysterious. Forget it, let's not talk about it..." Fang Zhongtian also knew why his daughter had been depressed lately, but he couldn't say much in front of Ye Hao!

"How can we not mention it? Ni is so good to me. Oh, never mind. Elder Fang, let me help you rejuvenate first! I'll look for her later." As Ye Hao finished speaking, he infused spiritual power into Fang Zhongtian's body without hesitation, stimulating his cells for the second time to make him youthful again.

Fang Zhongtian was not yet sixty, but he seemed so old. Although Ye Hao had previously given a Luminous Pearl to Fang Ni, its spiritual power wasn't much of a help to Fang Zhongtian.

So, Ye Hao used the spiritual power Fang Zhongtian absorbed from the Luminous Pearl to stimulate him, making him young again in just ten minutes.

Ye Hao didn't spend much effort doing this because the spiritual power was already stored in Fang Zhongtian's acupoints.

He just used the eighth-generation system to stimulate Fang Zhongtian's cells a little.

Fang Zhongtian slowly opened his eyes, and Ye Hao already handed him a mirror.

Seeing his reflection in the mirror, Fang Zhongtian couldn't help but shed tears. He often stayed up all night, making him look old before sixty, and his spouse passed away early! He really didn't know how his unfortunate daughter would manage when he could no longer take care of himself.

"Thank you!" A thousand words were contained within these two words.

"Elder Fang, saying thank you is too polite. This place is my first home, and your health is my greatest comfort." Ye Hao smiled.

"Come by more often in the future. After all, Ni'er, ah! I won't say more. You young people handle your matters!" Fang Zhongtian waved his hand.

"Elder Fang, could you at least tell me what's going on with Ni?" Ye Hao asked anxiously, looking at Fang Zhongtian.

"You should ask her yourself! She's at the Celestial Palace drinking every day now." Fang Zhongtian said before leaving the house, not worried about Ye Hao's intentions toward his family.

Moreover, Fang Ni gave Ye Hao a set of keys when he first returned to Yanjing. If he were up to no good, he wouldn't have waited until today.

Watching Fang Zhongtian's departing figure, Ye Hao felt a bit forlorn. His nose tingled; this home was perhaps too quiet.

He shook his head to dismiss such useless thoughts and headed to the Celestial Palace.

Currently, in the Celestial Palace leisure club, a beauty in a red dress had slightly messy hair draped over her shoulders, with some strands at the front wet from being dipped in alcohol.

A few meters behind her stood two experts quietly accompanying her.

Of course, this was Fang Ni who was drunk, but Fang Zhongtian worried about her, so he sent two people to look after her.

Moreover, not far from where Fang Ni was lying and drinking, a few well-dressed youths were chatting quietly.

Bai Lin was also among them. At this time, Bai Lin smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, how are things going with you and that woman lately?"

Bai Lin's words made the man called Mr. Xiao a bit embarrassed. Still, for the sake of face, he forced himself to stay calm and said, "Not bad, almost held hands."

"That's progress, so let me be the first to congratulate Mr. Xiao on soon winning the beauty." Bai Lin smiled, though he felt a bit gloomy inside, as he also liked Fang Ni, but she ignored him! Plus, with the Xiao Family's esteemed guest handling some matters lately, Bai Lin's father instructed him to befriend Mr. Xiao or even ingratiate...

"Hmm! I will." Mr. Xiao nodded. He was from a reclusive family in Huaxia, the Xiao Family, which counted as a second-tier family among reclusive families, with unfathomable family power.

The other individuals from the Hidden Realm also chimed in, "It's not hard for Mr. Xiao to win over a woman from the mundane world. Once he reveals his family's name, wouldn't the woman throw herself at him?"

"Exactly! Mr. Xiao just enjoys the slow, delicate approach. Come, a toast to Mr. Xiao."

"Cheers!"

In contrast to their liveliness, Fang Ni's heart was in turmoil. When she found out Su Jinyuan had betrothed his daughter to Ye Hao, and Ye Hao publicly called Su Jinyuan 'dad'...

She felt her world had gone dark. Originally, she thought Ye Hao was just taking care of Lin Ruyu and Su Qing until they graduated from college and wouldn't develop romantic feelings.

Then, she could express her feelings to Ye Hao, making things naturally fall into place.

But she didn't expect Ye Hao's charm to be so great that even the provincial secretary, Su Jinyuan, personally betrothed his daughter to him, disrupting all her plans.

"Ye Hao... uh!" Fang Ni took a sip of alcohol, hiccuped, and then smiled. However, no matter how one looked at the smile, it appeared somewhat forced.

The two agents behind Fang Ni chuckled bitterly upon hearing her. They were not just anyone, but the two experts Ye Hao had rescued in South Africa, along with Ye Long.

Of course, such experts needed a different designation; as Ye Hao's strength grew, his opponents became stronger, even surpassing the tenth level of National Martial Arts.

When they heard Fang Ni call out for Ye Hao, they knew she liked him, but as for what happened between Ye Hao and her, they had no clue.

In the private room, when Xiao Yu saw Fang Ni drinking more, he stood up gracefully, holding a glass of red wine as he walked toward Fang Ni.

He hadn't been pursuing Fang Ni for just a day; it had been nearly two weeks. If he didn't win Fang Ni soon, he felt it would sully his reputation, so he planned to be courteous one last time today. If that failed, he'd resort to more forceful means, turning the cooked rice into mature meals.

He gentlemanly approached Fang Ni.

The two national security agents became tense, watching Xiao Yu with a wary look.

They had investigated during these days; this man was from a reclusive family, but the extent of his family's influence was beyond their knowledge.

But Fang Zhongtian had warned them that this person had significant background, so they should avoid conflict as much as possible.

"Hi, Miss Fang, nice to see you again today. What do you think about what we discussed yesterday?" Xiao Yu asked politely, with a cultured smile.

"Hehe, who are you?" Fang Ni, intoxicated, looked at Xiao Yu and asked, confused about who he was.

"I'm Xiao Yu. Have you forgotten me, miss?" Xiao Yu asked awkwardly, though his mood darkened a bit.

After all, as the famous son of the Xiao Family, to be forgotten by a woman from the mundane world was not something he'd take lightly.

"I don't know you. I don't know you. I only want Ye Hao. Don't bother me, uh... move..." Fang Ni slurred her words, pushing Xiao Yu away, accidentally spilling her drink on him.

Xiao Yu's face immediately turned dark as he coldly said, "Fang Ni, don't refuse my kindness and embarrass yourself!"

Fang Ni ignored him and walked alone onto the dance floor, swaying... (to be continued. If you like this work, you're welcome to vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
