Full-Time Mage: Starting from Obtaining the Mysterious Ancient Tree

Chapter 28 Good Fortune, a Gift

early morning.

Fang Yu stood by the window, watching Luo Cheng slowly wake up, filled with emotion.

I'm leaving tomorrow, and I probably won't have a chance to come back.

This used to be his "home" and home, but now there's nothing left.

There is nowhere else to go.

Taking a deep breath, Fang Yu decided to wander around the city.

Take a break and relax.

Now that the hidden power of the Black Vatican in Fallen City has been dismantled, it can be considered safe.

Just as I stepped out of the room, the door to the next room opened.

He was a handsome man.

That is precisely the present moment.

Fang Yu was somewhat surprised. After nodding slightly, he continued downstairs.

"Brother, please wait a moment." Fang Jin called out to Fang Yu.

"Is there something you need?" Fang Yu asked.

"I'd like to invite you brothers for a get-together. I heard there's a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant nearby. Would you do me the honor?" Fang Jin asked.

After hesitating for a moment, Fang Yu nodded in agreement.

It's good to get to know people from prominent families.

Hong Kong-style tea restaurant.

Fang Yu looked at the exquisite breakfast on the table and felt a little sentimental.

I've seen others eat here before, but I've never been here myself.

Sitting here now, I no longer have the childhood aspirations I once had.

However, he couldn't really be considered a child at that time.

"Fang Jin from the Ghost Capital, may I ask who you are, brother?" Fang Jin asked politely.

"Fang Yu".

"So it's Brother Fang." Fang Jin didn't ask about Fang Yu's background, but simply thanked him for what happened last night.

"If it weren't for your help, the outcome might have been terrible. Thank you very much."

"You're too kind. I didn't do much," Fang Yu said.

Fang Jin took out a jade pendant and gently placed it on the table:
"The jade pendant is a token of the Fang family's distinguished guest. If you ever need anything in the future, you can ask me for a favor."

A favor from a disciple of the Fang family? Fang Yu raised an eyebrow.

This is quite a generous gift.

“Brother, your magic is ice-based. I have an item here that I can give you.” As he spoke, Fang Jin took out an exquisite box.

Looking at the box, Fang Yu sensed that the items inside were extraordinary.

"Open it and take a look," Fang Jin said with a smile.

Fang Yu politely moved the box over, then opened it and took a look.

It is a bright green tea leaf with a touch of icy blue at the edge.

This is…

Fang Yu did not know the specifics.

However, there are fluctuations of ice elements around the tea leaves, which are both restrained and enormous.

It's clearly a cultivation treasure, incredibly valuable!
Fang Yu was startled and slowly closed the box.

"Is it too valuable?" Fang Yu didn't put the box away.

Fang Jin smiled, then shook his head and said:
"The Fang family is quite a distance from Bocheng, so we shouldn't be going there."

That trip was mainly for my childhood sweetheart, who was visiting her family.

We weren't originally going to go, but we suddenly discovered she was missing, so we rushed over.

The investigation continued, from Bocheng to Congcheng and then to Luocheng, until they finally traced it back to Zuo Lan.

That's how last night's incident happened; unfortunately, I almost got caught.

Fang Yu lowered his eyes.

No wonder!
How tragic! I went home to visit my family and ended up running into the Black Vatican.

Finally, he shook his head and said:
"I'm sorry, I wasn't the one who did it last night."

"That's alright." He said, handing the box to Fang Yu.

Fang Yu refused.

Even if the other party comes from a prestigious family with a large fortune.

However, even for a novice mage like Fang Jin, giving away this cultivation item is extremely valuable.

Moreover, there's the extraordinary thing called ice hockey.

This thing isn't of much value to him.

After that, Fang Jin didn't insist any further, nor did he ask any more questions.

They were just eating breakfast and chatting.

I tried it, and it tasted alright.

Packing some up and taking them back to the mysterious woman seems like a good idea.

After a long time, Fang Yu and Fang Jin parted ways.

Fang Jin sighed as he watched Fang Yu disappear from sight.

He sensed that Fang Yu was somewhat unapproachable and seemed rather cautious.

That day, he genuinely wanted to give the ice leaf to the other party, hoping to establish a good relationship.

……

At this moment, Fang Yu was walking on the street.

He walked along familiar paths, or rather, the more he walked, the clearer his memories became.

The more familiar you become with it, the more you become.

Of course, some places no longer overlap with my memory, some roads have been modified, and some houses have appeared.

In my memory, it was an empty lot, but what I see are tall buildings.

After a while, he walked to the riverbank, where there were some trees, and some children were playing and frolicking under the trees.

Looking at these, Fang Yu couldn't help but smile.

He had played here before, but he didn't get along with the other kids.

"Why did you come here back then?"

Fang Yu pondered for a moment, then recalled.

I was too tired from chopping wood, so I sneaked out.

But each time, she never got to rest for long before her stepmother dragged her back home.

I only stay until mealtime occasionally.

After standing there for a while and thinking, Fang Yu realized that most of his memories were of his stepmother.

There are actually fewer biological fathers.

I guess I never hit or scolded him, nor did I ever show him any affection.

Fang Yu stopped wandering around and found a place to sit, looking at the clear river and listening to the children playing around him.

For a moment, he felt as if he had returned to his childhood.

I do feel a bit nostalgic.

thump!
Suddenly, the sound of water falling came from over there.

Fang Yu turned his head and saw that a child had accidentally fallen into the river while playing.

"Mom, Mom, come quick! Gou Dan has fallen into the water!"

Seeing this, Fang Yu took two steps to the riverbank and used his mind to lift it up.

At this point, the adults rushed over in a panic.

When they found Gou Dan, he was sitting by the river, soaking wet, as if he had fallen into the water. There was no one else around.

"How did you get up here?" Dog Egg's dad asked.

"I...I don't know?" Gou Dan said blankly.

He suddenly fell into the river, and then suddenly found himself on the riverbank.

Snapped!
Dog Egg's dad patted Dog Egg's head and said excitedly:

"Why don't you thank the River God for saving your life?"

Fang Yu simply smiled as he looked at the people kneeling and worshipping by the river.

These people are worshipping the river; it has nothing to do with him.

Not staying behind doesn't mean I'm afraid to see people.

It just feels troublesome.

It's no trouble at all; there's no need for that.

After watching for a while, and waiting for the adults to reprimand the children, Fang Yu turned and left.

As people from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, parents cannot always be there for all their children.

However, those who need to be disciplined should still be disciplined to prevent tragedies from happening.

As dusk fell, Fang Yu inexplicably found himself back at his "home" house.

He stood at the door for a short while.

After hesitating for a while, he decided to do something.

Finally, he gently knocked on the front door of the house.

The same old woman opened the door.

"You're here again?" She remembered Fang Yu.

But when she tried to invite people in, Fang Yu shook his head:

"No, I came here to ask you two for a favor."

"Wait a minute!" the old woman shouted immediately into the room.
"Old man, come out quickly."

Her voice was soft, and she seemed to be struggling.

After someone inside responded, the old woman smiled and explained:
"I don't have a very good memory."

Fang Yu smiled and nodded, indicating his understanding.

Soon the old man came out, and he looked at Fang Yu with some surprise:
"Young man, is there something you need?"

"It's like this." Fang Yu hesitated for a moment, but still continued:
"If the Fang family ever comes here, I would like to ask the two elders to pass on a message."
