Ouyang Xiuyuan's eyes widened, his eyes full of surprise and excitement.

He looked at Fang Yu in front of him, and various images from many years ago flashed in his mind.

Back then, he and Huaixu were just two people who didn't understand anything, and only had a brute spirit.

If he hadn't met Fang Yu, he and Huaixu would have lived an ordinary life like most people in the world.

"Some time ago, Huaixu informed me that you had returned to the Northern Capital and had seen the dog become enlightened...... I rushed back immediately, I just arrived this morning, I didn't expect ......" Ouyang Xiuyuan was so excited that he was a little incoherent, staring at Fang Yu in front of him.

Fang Yu bypassed the coffee table, sat opposite Ouyang Xiuyuan, and said with a smile: "I also happened to come here today, sat downstairs for a while, sensed your breath, and came up." ”

Ouyang Xiuyuan immediately stood up and poured Fang Yu a cup of tea.

"Brother Fang, this cup of tea is for Xiuyuan to respect you. Ouyang Xiuyuan bent down and presented the teacup with both hands.

"Alright, don't do so much red tape. Fang Yu took the teacup and said.

Ouyang Xiuyuan sat back in his position and watched Fang Yu take a sip of tea, his mood calmed down a lot.

"Brother Fang, you are still the same as before, you haven't changed at all. Ouyang Xiuyuan said with a smile.

"In my eyes, you haven't changed much. Fang Yu said.

Ouyang Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "Old, Brother Fang, I'm really old. ”

"People get old. But your spirit is much better than being empty. Fang Yu smiled.

"Nostalgia...... He had so many things to worry about. Ouyang Xiuyuan's eyes condensed slightly, and said, "Compared to him, my life is much easier." ”

"What have you been doing all these years?" Fang Yu asked.

Hearing this question, Ouyang Xiuyuan smiled awkwardly and said, "If you say it, I'm afraid Brother Fang will laugh at me." ”

"How could I laugh at you?" Fang Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

"Hmm......" Ouyang Xiuyuan nodded and said, "For quite some time after you left, I devoted myself to cultivation. It wasn't until fifty years ago that I had cultivated to the stage of transforming into a god. After that, I started to feel the limits of my talent...... I continued to practice hard, but my efficiency was not high...... Slowly, I came to terms with this reality. began to shift his energy to other aspects. ”

"What aspect?" Fang Yu asked.

Ouyang Xiuyuan looked hesitant, as if he didn't want to say anything, but in the face of Fang Yu's gaze, he finally sighed and said, "Later, I will shift my energy to the one thing you don't like the most, Brother Fang. ”

"I started working on elevating the impact of my name. ”

"In recent decades, the Ouyang family has risen rapidly and become the strongest family in Zhongdu, and there is no one. ”

Ouyang Xiuyuan was hesitant to speak in the front, but the more he said later, the smoother he became, and there was a sense of pride in his eyes.

In just a few decades, he has made his own family the first family in Zhongdu, which is not a small achievement.

"That's good. Fang Yu took a sip of tea and said, "I personally don't like to get involved in the affairs of various forces, but I don't think everyone should be like me. I don't think you're doing it wrong. ”

Hearing what Fang Yu said, Ouyang Xiuyuan sighed again and said, "I'm just ashamed, Huaixu and I were both your students back then. But Huaixu went further and further along the way of cultivation, and became the de facto ruler of the Northern Capital Martial Arts Association. But I have taken a crooked path, not to mention the stagnation of my cultivation, and in terms of the achievement of martial arts status, I am far behind Huaixu......"

Fang Yu squinted at Ouyang Xiuyuan and said, "Your cultivation realm is not too far behind, I can sense it from your breath." ”

Ouyang Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "Realm is one thing, real strength is another. ”

Speaking of this, Ouyang Xiuyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Fang, when the two of us used to fight, I could always have the upper hand. But now that you're asking me to fight Huaixu, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold out for even a round. ”

Seeing Ouyang Xiuyuan's appearance, Fang Yu recalled the situation back then.

When I first met Huaixu and Ouyang Xiuyuan, the two were already very good playmates.

The two of them offended the young master of a big family in the town because of some things.

The first time Fang Yu saw them, they were being pressed to the ground and beaten violently by the more than twenty men brought by the young master.

At that time, this kind of thing often happened, and ordinary passers-by didn't care at all, let alone dare to lend a hand.

And when Fang Yu was passing by, Ben just wanted to take a look and see the excitement.

Then, he saw Huaixu and Ouyang Xiuyuan, who were beaten to a blur of flesh and blood, almost unconscious.

The young master raised his foot and stepped on Ouyang Xiuyuan's face, making them admit their mistakes and beg for mercy.

But Ouyang Xiuyuan and Huaixu were stunned.

The young master was so angry that he gathered more than twenty subordinates behind him to pee and spit around Ouyang Xiuyuan and Huaixu.

Ouyang Xiuyuan and Huaixu were unwilling to be humiliated, gritted their teeth and desperately pounced on the young master, biting the young master like hungry wolves.

As a result, it was naturally the subordinates who reacted and were beaten again.

Seeing that the two of them were about to be killed, Fang Yu stepped forward and beat the group away, saving the two teenagers.

This was the beginning of their acquaintance.

During that time, Fang Yu lived in that small town, so Ouyang Xiuyuan and Huaixu came to find Fang Yu every day.

They saw Fang Yu's skills and wanted to worship Fang Yu as a teacher and cultivate martial arts.

Fang Yu was reluctant to teach them at first, but then he was really annoyed enough, and he was indeed optimistic about these two people, thinking that they had the potential to become talents.

So, Fang Yu led the two of them onto the path of cultivation.

In this process, Fang Yu discovered that Huaixu's cultivation talent was quite poor, and among a large group of mortals, there was nothing outstanding at all.

And Ouyang Xiuyuan's talent is quite amazing, even compared with those so-called geniuses, it is not inferior.

Therefore, as soon as he began to cultivate for a period of time, Ouyang Xiuyuan distanced himself from Huaixu.

When the gap was the largest, Huaixu was still at the eleventh layer of the Qi Refining Period, while Ouyang Xiuyuan had already stepped into the Dan Formation Period.

The gap between the two great realms.

According to the characteristics of the two of them, Fang Yu taught them different cultivation methods.

Then, because Huai was working hard enough, he began to slowly catch up with Ouyang Xiuyuan.

In the case of being two great realms behind, the time point when Huaixu stepped into the Yuan Infant Stage was far from Ouyang Xiu.

After that, Fang Yu left.

As for the follow-up development of Huaixu and Ouyang Xiuyuan, Fang Yu didn't know.

But some time ago, Fang Yu had seen Huaixu's name on the Holy List, ranking fifth.

And Ouyang Xiuyuan's name was not seen.

Combined with what Ouyang Xiuyuan said just now, you can roughly see the subsequent development of these two people.

Although Huaixu's cultivation talent is extremely ordinary, with hard work, he climbed up step by step, and finally became a pivotal figure in the martial arts world of the Northern Capital.

Ouyang Xiuyuan, on the other hand, chose to support the family business and make the Ouyang family the first family in Zhongdu.

The life trajectories of the two people slowly ran to two different paths from the same starting point.

However, Fang Yu didn't think that who was on the right path was right and who was wrong, and there was no distinction between high and low.

It's just two different choices.

"Since your family has a foothold in the Central Capital, why did your son come to the Northern Capital?" Fang Yu asked.

Ouyang Xiuyuan got up and poured tea for Fang Yu and said, "Because...... I want to slowly transfer the family to the northern capital. ”

"Oh. Fang Yu nodded and said, "In other words, this club is a foothold. ”

"Yes. Ouyang Xiuyuan said, "The difficulty of gaining a foothold in the Northern Capital is extremely high. Because the Northern Capital Martial Arts Realm, compared to the Martial Arts Realm in other regions, is an isolated island and completely independent. ”

"My family is firmly in the first place in the Central Capital, but when we come to the Northern Capital, even the lowest-level martial arts family will not take us seriously. ”

"Therefore, since ten years ago, I have planned to enter the Northern Capital Martial Arts Realm and slowly transfer the core of the family......"

"What was the result?" Fang Yu asked.

"It's like what you see now, Brother Fang. Overall, not bad. Ouyang Xiuyuan smiled.
