♂?，，

  "Yes."

  The subordinate responded with a sound and quickly went to carry it out.

  Before long, a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, exuding an aura of a seasoned military officer, was led into the courtyard from outside. As soon as he saw Fang Qianhua, he burst out laughing and said: "Fang Qianhua Sword Master, I've come uninvited, please don't mind."

  "They are currently the royal family's favorite, and Duke Chang is one of the three giants of the Chang family. To have him come to my mansion as a guest is my honor."

  Fang Qianhua responded indifferently.

  "This is, I suppose, one of the disciples of Fang Qianhua Sword Master. Hmm, this one looks a bit unfamiliar, let me guess... should be Lin Qige from the Xuanzhong Advanced Swordsmanship Academy, right?"

  Chang Jian's gaze swept over Zhou Tianchi and several others before finally settling on Lin Qi.

  The implication is that he has already investigated these people's backgrounds thoroughly.

  "Not bad, this is exactly what my useless disciple would say."

  Fang Qianhua said, having somewhat lost patience with the person in front of him: "I don't know what brings Count Chang Jian to visit, what is it that you want?"

  "Haha, Master Fang Qianhua is indeed a straightforward and bold person. Alright, I'll get straight to the point. In our Chang family, there's a talented young swordsman who has already reached the high-level swordsman stage at a young age, with combat strength that's not inferior to that of a great swordsman. With such talent, he's qualified to further his studies at the Divine Selection Swordsman Academy. However, our Chang family is just a small clan and doesn't have the qualifications to recommend our children to attend the academy. That's why we've come to visit Master Fang Qianhua, hoping to obtain your recommendation and support. If successful, our Chang family will be eternally grateful."

  At this point, Chang Jian's tone paused slightly, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth: "I wonder what Master Fang Qianhua has in mind?"

  "What's going on in your mind!"

  As soon as this was said, Fang Qianhua's face clearly became colder.

  This is blatant coercion!

  The Chang family's approach was equivalent to issuing an ultimatum to Fang Qianhua, forcing him to make a final decision.

  It's impossible that the Zhāng family wouldn't have heard about it through their usual channels, but Fāng Qiān Huá had already decided to recommend Wáng Tíng to go to the Divine Selection Swordsmen Academy for further study and had promised this recommendation quota to Wáng Tíng. However, at this moment, the people from the Zhāng family seemed to be completely unaware of this news, and instead asked him to help recommend a junior from their own family...

  This is undoubtedly going to make Fang Qianhua take a stand finally.

  It's either choose and be against Chang Jia, continue to keep the royal court, or sell them a favor of Chang Jia, and get along with Chang Jia, only one can be chosen!

  If Fang Qianhua had kept Wang Ting, he would have saved face and been invincible, but this would have completely offended the Chang family. Given the current situation of the Chang family in the imperial capital, it would not be difficult to deal with him as a royal swordmaster in the future.

  After all, in His Majesty's mind, the position of the second Tianxuan Army was far more important than that of a Royal Swordmaster.

  As for choosing to compromise with the Chang family...

  Then what face will Fang Qianhua have left, and where can he go in the future? All the swordsmen in the capital will use this matter to mock him.

  "Master Fang Qianhua doesn't need to rush to reply to me, there are still eleven days before the assessment personnel from the Divine Selection Swordsmen Academy arrive, I just hope that within these eleven days, Master Fang Qianhua can give me a satisfactory response."

  Chang Jian finished speaking and stood up. He made a polite bow towards Fang Qianhua, saying: "The matter is settled, we will take our leave first."

  "Not sending."

  Fang Qianhua spoke in a cold tone, without any enthusiasm at all.

  Chang Jian didn't think much of it and turned to leave the living room, but just as he was about to walk out, his figure suddenly stopped. It seemed like he had thought of something and said: "Ah, right! Master Fang Qianhua, this time our Yuexuan Swordsmen Corps selected a young team leader who is extremely outstanding. He's not even thirty years old yet has already reached the peak of great swordsmanship. Who knows, maybe one day he'll have the chance to become a master swordsman. This young talent claims to be from the fallen Kail family. Our Chang family doesn't have much influence in the imperial capital after all, so I've never heard of this family before. That's why I want to ask Master Fang Qianhua if there really is such a family in the imperial capital? If not, then this kid must have ulterior motives for sneaking into our Yuexuan Swordsmen Corps at this critical moment and should be punished severely. After all, the selection of our military officers is crucial, and I must ensure their identities are clean."

  "Kai Er Family!"

  As soon as this name was mentioned, it wasn't just Fang Qianhua, but also Zhou Tianchi and Lin Qi's faces couldn't help but change.

  Especially Zhou Tianchi, whose eyes shot out a kind of bone-deep hatred.

  The Kael Family!

  It was a duel with Fang Qianhua's eldest disciple, and the family that killed Fang Qianhua's eldest disciple. Later, although Fang Qianhua secretly eliminated almost all of this family's masters, their background was not simple either. In order to avoid suspicion, Fang Qianhua had no choice but to hand over his third disciple Lin Qi to take the blame. As a result, Lin Qi was expelled from the imperial capital and went to teach at the Xuanzhong Advanced Swordsmanship Academy, where he was indirectly placed under house arrest.

  The current Kier family, although it has greatly declined, still has a strong influence. There are two viscounts in the clan who support each other. In the royal capital, although they are only a small family, they are absolutely not unknown or unheard of. This is what Kaname said as he hit him.

  Once he really made up his mind to protect the Wang Court, Chang Jia Wan could use this matter to make trouble and bring out old accounts from before. At that time, it's not just a question of whether Fang Qian Hua can protect the Wang Court or not, but also whether he can still hold onto his position as the imperial swordmaster.

  Chang Jian seemed very satisfied with the change in Fang Qianhua's expression, a faint smile on his face: "You all don't speak, could it be that you haven't heard of this family? Since that's the case, then I'll go take care of that fake kid. We've already received the emperor's secret decree to start selecting the elite soldiers from each major army and expand the Yu Xuan Swordsmen Corps. At this time, we absolutely can't afford to make any mistakes. Fang Qianhua, Master, isn't that right?"

  "This is natural, such an unknown origin should be executed."

  Fang Qianhua responded with an expressionless face.

  At this time he already understood, and with the Chang family's confrontation, in the end, he was thoroughly defeated by his opponent.

  "Hehe, with Master Fang Qianhua's support, we can rest assured. I'll take my leave now."

  Chang Jian finished speaking and turned around, preparing to leave.

  "Baron of Common Arrow."

  "Huh?"

  Chang Jian's figure hesitated for a moment as he was about to leave.

  "I will consider that proposal carefully."

  Upon hearing Fang Qianhua's words, Chang Jian's face broke into a smile once again: "That would be great, Master Fang Qianhua. We await your good news."
