Yang Ming returned to his room. He just took a bath and changed into his pajamas. As he was going to take a break, watch TV, and call Chen Mengyan and the others who were at home, he heard a knock on the door from outside the room.
“Who is it?” Yang Ming didn’t expect anyone to knock on the door at this time. I obviously put the “Do Not Disturb” sign outside the door. Did the person see it?
“It’s me.” Fang Tian’s voice came from the door.
Yang Ming was helpless. Why did the old man, Fang Tian, find me again? Didn’t I just come back from his room? Yang Ming could ignore anyone else who knocked on the door, but he was helpless if Fang Tian was knocking on the door. He could only open the door and complain, “Are you blind? Didn’t you see the ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign…”
As Yang Ming spoke halfway, he saw another person beside Fang Tian. It was the current master of the Butterfly Family, Wang Songshan, whom Yang Ming met when he was training here over the Chinese New Year.
Yang Ming hastily put away the previous laughing look and replaced it with a serious expression. “Greetings, Uncle Wang.”
“Why don’t you invite us in to sit?” Wang Songshan looked at Yang Ming, nodded, and asked.
Yang Ming didn’t know if his nod was praising him or what, but he couldn’t look deep into it. Yang Ming spoke to Wang Songshan, and Fang Tian, “Uncle Wang, Fang… Master Fang, please come in.”
Fang Tian smirked at the corner of his mouth and looked at Yang Ming with interest. “Old Man Wang is not an outsider. Call me whatever you like to call me. Old Man Fang is still pleasing to my ears. It feels a bit unnatural for you to call me master.”
“——” Yang Ming forced a laugh and didn’t answer. Naturally, he could be rude when he was with Fang Tian alone, but Yang Ming still needed to maintain the minimum respect in front of outsiders. Otherwise, he would be laughed at for not understanding the rules.
After Wang Songshan came into the room, he sat on the sofa without talking, but his face was somber. Anyone could see that he was not in a good mood, and he seemed to be angry. Fang Tian sat by the side, but Fang Tian’s expression was content; he was even snickering.
Even if Yang Ming were stupid, he could still see that Wang Songshan must be mad at him at this moment. The nodding action when entering the door was not for praise, but anger.
When Yang Ming saw Wang Songshan not talking, he had to look at Fang Tian for help. However, that old man actually put up an indifferent look; he was snickering by the side. Yang Ming gestured to him a few times, but this old man actually pretended not to see it. Yang Ming was helpless. This old man actually drops the ball at the key moment.
“Uncle Wang … Do you have anything to find your junior at this time?” Fang Tian didn’t speak, and Yang Ming did not want to let the stalemate continue, so he had to ask first. Otherwise, Yang Ming felt a lot of pressure from just staring at each other. It was as if he had done something to his daughter, and he was here to question his crime.
“Old Man Fang, is this your apprentice, Yang Ming?” Wang Songshan did not answer after hearing Yang Ming’s words, but he snorted and looked at Fang Tian.
Fang Tian laughed, but he did not speak. Yang Ming had to force himself to say, “To answer Uncle Wang’s question, I am Master Fang Tian’s apprentice.”
“I didn’t ask you.” Wang Songshan waved his hand. He was a little dissatisfied with Yang Ming’s interjection.
Yang Ming forced a laugh; he felt a little awkward. He cried bitterly in his mind, What the hell is going on!? It’s your daughter who decided to break off the engagement. Why do I feel like I’m the one who made the decision? Why do I feel like I’m Chen Shimei [1] now?
However, Yang Ming definitely wouldn’t say these words. Regardless of Wang Songshan’s strength, he was Fang Tian’s best friend of the same generation. Even if Wang Songshan beat Yang Ming on the spot, Yang Ming couldn’t be helped. Yang Ming could only admit that he was unlucky, so he would not take the initiative to touch the source of his bad luck.
“Is my daughter that bad? Do you have the capital to seek for disengagement?” Wang Songshan laughed suddenly. He looked at Yang Ming, asking word for word.
“This-” Yang Ming looked at Wang Songshan’s expression, and his heart was extremely helpless. “Senior Wang, as far as I know, it is not only me who is dissatisfied with this marriage. Your daughter also disagrees with it, right?”
“The parents will have the say of their children’s marriage. I will decide on my daughter’s marriage!” Wang Songshan pointed to Yang Ming and said, “And you are the apprentice of Old Man Fang. The Master also plays the same role as a father, so Old Man Fang will naturally decide your marriage.”
The muscles on Yang Ming’s face twitched. He initially thought that he could seek a disengagement smoothly when he came here, but he didn’t expect such a situation would happen now!
It seemed that it was Wang Songshan’s daughter who wanted to cancel it, but not Wang Songshan himself! Wang Songshan still seemed to be optimistic about this marriage. He was also forced to cancel it because his daughter and Yang Ming didn’t have the intention, but he still hoped that the engagement would be maintained if there was hope. He thought that if Yang Ming agreed, Wang Songshan’s daughter couldn’t reject it anymore.
“Senior Wang, I don’t agree with you. What year is this? Now people advocate freedom of love. How can you mention those ancient marriage rules?” Yang Ming knew that he couldn’t be weak at this time. If he showed weakness, he would fall into the trap; he could only argue back.
“So, you are determined not to marry my daughter?” Wang Songshan’s face changed as he heard Yang Ming’s words; his gaze became cold.
“Yes.” Yang Ming looked into Wang Songshan’s eyes and replied firmly. Wang Songshan was only his elder, which made Yang Ming feel the pressure, but in terms of strength, Yang Ming didn’t think he would lose to the person in front of him.
“Okay, good!” Wang Songshan said plainly, but anyone could hear that he wasn’t really saying that Yang Ming was good, but he was saying the opposite. “Those who want to marry my daughter can even queue to the other side of the earth, but you don’t even want it!”
“Uncle Wang, marriage is based on the relationship between two sides, and your daughter and I really have no basis for a relationship. I hope you don’t force the younger generation!” Yang Ming knew that Wang Songshan would be angrier if he said this, but he still needed to say it. “But there is a phrase. I don’t know if Uncle Wang has heard of it. It’s called ‘you can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink’! It means that if your daughter and I really get married, then there will be no happiness among us.”
“Oh? How do you know that you two have no basis for a relationship?” Wang Songshan asked suddenly.
“Ah?” Yang Ming froze. Wang Songshan’s nonsense made Yang Ming suddenly confused. Does this Wang Songshan still have a clear mind? Yang Ming smiled bitterly, “Uncle Wang, I haven’t even met your daughter. How is there a basis for a relationship?”
“Really? Are you sure you don’t have any feelings for my daughter?” Wang Songshan still asked unwillingly.
Looking at Wang Songshan’s pretentious expression, Fang Tian by the side almost laughed out loud, but he could control his expression freely since he had gone through strict training. He was delighted in his mind, but he still put up an indifferent expression.
Fang Tian thought, Wang Songshan is still a master of acting. He obviously wants to make a fool out of Yang Ming by asking this! However, Fang Tian didn’t stop him. This old man’s childlike innocence was not much worse than Wang Songshan. They were just making fun of Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan to let them suffer some bitterness.
However, Yang Ming didn’t know Wang Songshan’s intentions. He took the question seriously. “Uncle Wang, you don’t have to force me anymore. I came here this time intending to cancel the engagement; I will not consider any other option!”
“Okay! Good!” Wang Songshan nodded his head, and he said angrily, “My daughter is an exquisite beauty. Others can’t marry her even if they want to; now I’m marrying her to you for free, but you don’t want her! That’s good. I’m telling you that there is no regret about this. Since you disagree now, you can’t renege in the future!”
“Since I have already decided, why would I renege?” Yang Ming was stunned, and he replied inexplicably. When I return to Song Jiang, it would be weird if I can come to Butterfly Castle again. I have seriously offended the Butterfly Family. I guess there will be no connection between us. How can I renege?

“Are you sure that you will not renege in the future?” Wang Songshan glared at Yang Ming as if he was going to eat him. “I’ll give you one last chance to make the final choice! Are you marrying or not? I’m telling you that if you don’t want to marry, then you should never think about stepping into the Butterfly Castle again in the future. There will never be a second chance!”
“I… won’t renege!” Yang Ming gritted his teeth and said. At this time, I have to hold on to it. If I hesitate a little, Wang Songshan will definitely find some ways to force me. Yang Ming wondered. Am I really that good? Why does Wang Songshan have to marry his daughter to me? Could it be that his daughter is an ugly person?
Otherwise, if she is really beautiful, why can’t she marry anyone else? Why is he forcing me to marry her? Thinking of this, Yang Ming suddenly felt a chill.
—— “Great! I finally got you!”
Suddenly, a voice came into Yang Ming’s mind! This was Wang Songshan’s voice! Yang Ming was suddenly inexplicable. What does Wang Songshan mean by this? He didn’t say anything, right… Oh yeah! Yang Ming suddenly remembered that he didn’t use his special ability for a long time! He could read people’s thoughts!
Only when both my and the other person’s spirits are highly concentrated will my special ability work. I naturally feel nervous being pressured by Wang Songshan, so I activated my special ability subconsciously… and Wang Songshan is nervous, too?
Yang Ming guessed it right. Wang Songshan was nervous too. He was afraid Yang Ming could not stand the pressure to renege suddenly and agree to marry his daughter! If Yang Ming agreed, then he couldn’t play anymore! That was why his spirit was so tense. He could only sigh in relief when Yang Ming finally decided that he would definitely not renege. Hence, there was the thought, “Great! I finally got you!”
However, this sentence seemed a bit inexplicable in Yang Ming’s mind. Yang Ming didn’t understand it. What’s so good? Is he feeling great that I’m rejecting the engagement? If it’s too great, isn’t that a contradiction?
Seeing Wang Songshan’s looking like he was going to kill me, I thought that he would insist that I marry his daughter! However, why is there a contradiction between the words he said and the feeling he expressed?
Is there something wrong with this? Yang Ming’s mind was thinking fast! If Yang Ming did not hear this sentence later, he would not have doubts. However, now that he heard Wang Songshan’s “mind,” he had a hint of doubt!
However, Yang Ming couldn’t figure out Wang Songshan’s true thoughts even if he tried harder! Both were surnamed Wang, but they were totally unrelated in Yang Ming’s opinion. How could there be any relationship? No matter what, Yang Ming wouldn’t associate a person in Song Jiang with another person in Butterfly Castle.
Yang Ming concentrated his mind, wanting to continue to see Wang Songshan’s thoughts, but unfortunately, he found nothing! On Wang Songshan’s side, no new ideas were conveyed. Maybe it was because his mind was relieved; it wasn’t in a focused state!
Yang Ming couldn’t detect the other’s thoughts when the other’s mind was not active! Yang Ming couldn’t help it, but even so, Yang Ming already felt that his special ability was amazing. This ability to see through others’ thoughts had given him too many forewarnings. He also benefited a lot from it.
Since he could no longer hear Wang Songshan’s new thoughts, Yang Ming could only give up the idea of ??continuing to use his special ability. He thought to himself, Maybe Wang Songshan’s previous actions were all for the sake of his face? He didn’t want his daughter to marry me, but to maintain the face of his noble family, he had to let outsiders know that it is me who rejects the engagement instead of Wang Songshan.
Although Yang Ming did not understand the specific intention of doing so, Yang Ming could only guess so much based on the current situation. Wang Songshan’s voice came again. Yang Ming immediately put away these thoughts.
“That’s good. In this case, our Butterfly Family is now unrelated to you,” Wang Songshan said. “We will have no relationship in the future. Do you agree?”
Yang Ming glanced at Fang Tian. What does it mean by unrelated? Does he mean breaking off? Fang Tian and Wang Songshan are old friends for many years. If they break off … Yang Ming wanted Fang Tian to say a few words, but this old man was sitting like a stone sculpture. He didn’t have any moves or words apart from smiling ambiguously. Yang Ming had observed him for a long time; it was as if Yang Ming was looking at a sculpture. Although Yang Ming was annoyed, he was helpless! He knew that Fang Tian didn’t want to be in the middle. Fang Tian also had his own difficulties. He couldn’t choose either side and could only keep quiet.
Yang Ming didn’t want to put Fang Tian in a rough spot. He sighed and said, “Senior Wang, I have no objection about breaking off with the Butterfly Family, but Master Fang Tian and you are close friends in this life. He…”
“Of course, he will not break with me. I’m talking about you!” Wang Songshan waved impatiently and interrupted Yang Ming.
“That’s all right!” Yang Ming nodded. “Since Senior Wang said so, then I’m relieved, as long as it doesn’t affect the friendship between you and my master.”
“He is him; you are you. I’m not stupid to that extent yet!” Wang Songshan waved his hand.
“Thank you so much.” Yang Ming saluted with his hands folded. Since Wang Songshan no longer pursued anything, he couldn’t come to Butterfly Castle again, so Yang Ming was not worried.
“You watch yourself.” Wang Songshan stood up and prepared to leave. Fang Tian also stood up and prepared to walk Wang Songshan out. Before the two walked to the door, they heard a hurried knock on the door.
Yang Ming frowned. When Wang Songshan and Fang Tian came to look for him without bothering with the “Do Not Disturb” sign outside the door, it was still understandable. They were his elders, and Yang Ming had nothing to say. But if others also came knocking at the door, this seemed a little rude, right?
Sure enough, not only did Yang Ming frown, but even Wang Songshan frowned too. He must have thought of this, so he asked in a cold voice, “Who is it? Is there anything?”
“Master, you are here, indeed!” An anxious voice came from the door.
Wang Songshan unhappily opened the door; he glanced coldly at the person who came. “Who asked you to come here? Why are you so rude? Don’t you know that I’m talking to guests? You are also one of the family’s reputable disciples. Why are you so sloppy?”
“Master, you have misunderstood. If something bad didn’t happen, I wouldn’t be here looking for you anxiously!” said the disciple carefully.
“What is the matter? Speak up.” Wang Songshan’s anger also subsided a little; his gaze at the disciple wasn’t that cold anymore.
“Master, somebody is making trouble outside the Butterfly Castle!” The disciple said quickly.
“Making trouble? What’s going on? Can’t you even handle a person who makes trouble?” Wang Songshan frowned again as he heard this. Although Butterfly Castle was famous, there were also some overconfident people who fantasized and came here to cause trouble. In their opinion, if they could defeat the Butterfly Castle’s people, their fame would reach the top. Therefore, many people were willing to take the risk.
Of course, these people had paid a painful cost. Although they would still be alive, at least, they would be sent back with broken arms and legs on a stretcher.
So when Wang Songshan heard that someone was making trouble, his first thought was that there was some overconfident guy who wanted to be famous by using the Butterfly Castle! This person probably thought it well, but it was impossible to succeed in reality.
“Master, that person is very powerful. We advised her to leave quickly and not to make trouble here, but she didn’t listen. We sent a few disciples to forcibly send this person away, but that woman immediately defeated four disciples who went to stop her! “The disciple carefully illustrated the incident to Wang Songshan.
“What!? This person is powerful?” Wang Songshan froze after listening to the disciple’s illustration.
