Chapter 235: Chapter 235: The Furious Dongfang Ruhua

"If we find out who is behind this, the Dongfang Family will spare no effort to contend with them to the end!" Dongfang Leiming realized that the matter brought up by Fang Bai concerning the Lingnan Poison Venerable was a premeditated attack against the Dongfang Family and was infuriated.

"I’ve already sent someone to investigate this matter. We initially wanted to find some clues from the bodies of the two bodyguards who died in our house or from the Lingnan Poison Venerable’s body, but sadly, the three bodies were buried too deeply by the mudslide, and we couldn’t dig them out..." Dongfang Rushi sat next to Dongfang Leiming with a calm and expressionless face, and she said indifferently, "With this, finding the mastermind has become very difficult. However, if the enemy has specifically targeted us, then after one failed attack, they will surely try a second time. Therefore, we must strengthen our security and not give the enemy any opportunities while also looking for clues..."

Fang Bai smiled as he watched Dongfang Rushi, admiring the way she spoke with confidence.

"Innate Water Spirit Root... This Dongfang Rushi, just like her sister, is truly a genius suited for martial arts cultivation." With Divine Sense, Fang Bai no longer needed to physically "examine bones"; by simply releasing his Divine Sense, he could tell if someone possessed an Innate Spiritual Root.

His Divine Sense had just swept over Dongfang Rushi, and he knew that she possessed an Innate Water Spirit Root, the same constitution as Baili Mingyue.

If Dongfang Rushi had an outgoing personality like Dongfang Ruhua, making her approachable, Fang Bai could just find a time to ask her if she was willing to follow him in martial arts cultivation.

However, Dongfang Rushi’s temperament was cold and reserved, her demeanor serious and not given to laughter, which gave others the impression of keeping them at a great distance. Fang Bai was unsure how she would react; he worried that if he asked, he would be rejected, resulting in an awkward situation.

"Never mind. I’ll just let Ruhua, that girl, subtly ask about it later. If Dongfang Rushi is willing to learn martial arts, then it’s fate. If she’s not, then it’s a case of having the right path but not being able to walk it together!" Fang Bai thought to himself.

As noon approached, Lin Ruoxue came to invite everyone to the dining room for a meal.

During the meal, Dongfang Leiming and other core members of the Dongfang Family took turns toasting Fang Bai.

Dongfang Xing and Dongfang Chen, although dissatisfied with Fang Bai, dared not make a scene with Dongfang Leiming present and obediently toasted Fang Bai.

However, they were not harboring good intentions; they urged a group of younger Dongfang Family members to toast Fang Bai a few more times than necessary, hoping to make him drunk and embarrass himself in public.

To their surprise, Fang Bai drank several catties of liquor without showing the slightest sign of intoxication; instead, he seemed even more lucid, especially when his bright and spirited eyes swept over Dongfang Xing and Dongfang Chen, they felt as if being struck by arrows, causing a shiver in their hearts.

Seeing that they couldn’t get Fang Bai drunk, and they were instead nearing intoxication, the younger members of the Dongfang Family retreated in defeat.

Dongfang Leiming and others marveled and repeatedly praised Fang Bai’s capacity for alcohol.

After the meal, people continued to chat in the living room, with the topic still revolving around the previous day’s attack.

"It’s really strange when you think about it. Right after Sister Ruhua was attacked, Doctor Fang appeared on the scene, then killed that so-called ’Lingnan Poison Venerable’, and saved Sister Ruhua’s life... Hehe, how coincidental is that?"

"And there’s more, our family’s two bodyguards and that attacker ’Lingnan Poison Venerable’ – somehow, when alive, they weren’t seen, and when dead, their bodies weren’t found. With their deaths, if we wanted to investigate the origin and development of these events, it’s impossible now... only hearing one side of the story, who knows if it’s true or false?"

"Who knows if there really was a ’Lingnan Poison Venerable’? Hmm, I think there must be something fishy going on."

"I also think..."

Dongfang Xing and Dongfang Chen, these two cousins, had already held disdain for Fang Bai, and having drank a bit of alcohol just now, they spoke with a hint of drunkenness, their tone clearly filled with suspicion towards Fang Bai.

As the two of them spoke like this, everyone else in the living room, except for Dongfang Leiming, Dongfang Yun, his wife Lin Ruoxue, and their two daughters, turned their gaze towards Fang Bai.

Although they didn’t speak up, Fang Bai clearly saw the same expression of distrust in their eyes as the one on Dongfang Xing and Dongfang Chen’s faces.

When Fang Bai acted, he only wished to be at peace with his conscience. As for what others thought or saw, he really didn’t care.

Hearing Dongfang Xing and Dongfang Chen’s words, Fang Bai coldly smiled, about to speak, when he saw a figure flash by. Dongfang Ruhua had already stood up to defend him.

"Dongfang Xing, Dongfang Chen, how... how can you speak of big brother like that? Big brother killed the Lingnan Poison Venerable, that bad person, saved my life, then transmitted martial arts cultivation techniques to me, enabling me to become a martial artist, all of which I saw with my own eyes and experienced personally!"

Dongfang Ruhua, shedding her usual innocent and adorable image, glared at Dongfang Xing and Dongfang Chen with big eyes filled with anger.

Normally, Dongfang Ruhua, when seeing Dongfang Xing, Dongfang Chen, and others, would call them ’brother’ and ’sister’, affectionately at that. Her calling the two by their names now indicated that she was extremely angry.

"I know you’ve had conflicts with big brother and harbor discontent towards him, but that matter was your fault, not big brother’s! Big brother saved grandfather’s life and mine too. Grandfather and I are both grateful to big brother, and I will not allow you to speak of him in such a manner!"

Having reached the Yellow Level as a high-rank martial artist, Dongfang Ruhua naturally carried an imposing aura when she was angry. Under the pressure of her aura, Dongfang Xing and Dongfang Chen actually broke out in a cold sweat, stammering without the courage to retort.

"Ruhua, after all, they are your cousins. Isn’t it a bit rude to scold them in front of so many people?"

"Exactly, even if they are at fault, it’s not your place, you little girl, to reprimand them. Ridiculous!"

"Third brother, aren’t you going to discipline your daughter?"

"Sigh, if she’s this forceful now, when the eldest daughter of the third family takes over the family power in the future, will there be any say for the rest of us?"

"Elder, you see..."

Unable to bear seeing their children being scolded into silence, the parents of Dongfang Xing and Dongfang Chen began to mock coldly, and even Dongfang Rushi, who had been watching indifferently, got dragged into it.

Slap—

Dongfang Leiming smacked his hand on the tea table beside him, causing the cups to roll off and shatter on the ground.

"All this bickering, what kind of decency is this? How embarrassing! I’m not even dead yet, and you’ve already turned the house into a mess. If there comes a day I’m not here, won’t this family be turned completely upside down?"

Dongfang Leiming’s face was ashen, his fierce gaze swept over the faces of his eldest son Dongfang Shan, his second son Dongfang Dian, and their families, his expression filled with the helpless wrath of the iron not turning into steel.
