Li Haoping!

Chapter 8: Li Haoping!

Fang Yuan was thinking about what he would do with the money when suddenly a burst of headaches attacked him. Immediately after that, his eyelids turned heavy, and before he could understand what was happening, he fell asleep.

Breathing returned to his body in the room, and soon after, snoring rang.

After an unknown amount of time, Fang Yuan woke up. He was surprised when he saw his two siblings in deep conversation not far from him. He was always the early riser in the family

He couldn't help but smile after listening to their conversation. Their topic of conversation was Fang Yuan's health, and they were planning how to help their elder brother and family to take some pressure away from their parents and Fang Yuan.

"It seems my brother and sister have matured," Fang Yuan couldn't help but comment with a sigh.

Fang Yua and Fang Zan jumped up in surprise as if someone had stepped on their tail. Immediately after, wide smiles of excitement appeared on their faces since Fang Yuan had been sleeping for hours and it was already nearing evening.

Fang Yuan couldn't help but become surprised when he learned that. Suddenly, his face turned white, and he immediately tried to sense the broken pagoda.

After finding that what he experienced wasn't a dream, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother, what happened to you?" Fang Yua concernedly asked after seeing the sudden change of expression on her brother's face.

"You two don't need to worry about anything as long as your elder brother is here," Fang Yuan commented, patting his two younger siblings' heads.

Fang Zan scowled since he had prepared the fashionable hairstyle after a lot of hard work. Fang Yuan couldn't help but burst out in laughter and further play with his brother's hair.

Fang Zan scowled for a while, but soon, it turned into a surprise. The two had always been close to Fang Yuan since he was like their parents for most of the day. Fang Tian and Chen Haoxi left early in the day and came back in the evening from their work, so the two spent the day with Fang Yuan. It was their first time seeing Fang Yuan laugh so freely.

It was as if Fang Yuan's laugh infected them; the two also began to laugh in joy. Fang Yuan also noticed the change in himself and didn't have to think hard about the reason behind it. What could it be other than the tree and the ability brought by the broken pagoda?

Fang Yuan left his house and walked in the direction of the evening market. In the market, he could sell the crimson wood and also purchase pills and other items.

"Hey, Fang Yuan, where are you going?"

Fang Yuan stopped in his steps after hearing the familiar voice. He turned to his left and saw Li Haoping waving his hands at him.

Fang Yuan and Li Haoping's father worked at the same place, so the two had become friends. Fang Yuan waved back, and Li Haoping rushed.

"It seems I did something great today that I get to see you," Li Haoping joked, putting hands over Fang Yuan's shoulder.

Li Haoping was three inches taller than Fang Yuan and was also at the fourth level of Qi refining. His father, Li Donglin was in a higher position in the company due to his talent so Li Haoping could get more resources than Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan didn't feel jealous of Li Haoping but was sincerely happy for him.

"I am going to the evening market. Want to come with me?" Fang Yuan asked since it had been around a month since the two last saw each other.

"No, I have some of my business to attend," Li Haoping replied with a vulgar smile.

"But, let me take you to the entrance," He further added.

Fang Yuan nodded, and then the two walked toward the market. It was only around a mile away from Fang Yuan's residence, so it didn't take long before he reached his destination.

Fang Yuan was about to bid farewell to Li Haoping since, despite having an arrangement, he still came with him to the market's entrance when his lips twitched in frustration.

Not very far from them, a beautiful girl was standing, waving at Li Haoping.

Li Haoping had always been popular with ladies due to his handsome face and tall build. He waved back at the girl and then left with a smile.

Fang Yuan was about to enter when he suddenly heard Li Haoping calling him from behind. He turned around in surprise and saw the latter running toward him.

Li Haoping suddenly grabbed Fang Yuan's hands, and before Fang Yuan could understand what was happening, he put some spirit coins in and then ran away.

Once he had reached a few meters, his voice rang in his ears.

"Help me buy some candies for Fang Yua and Fang Zan."

Fang Yuan smiled, put the coins in his pocket, and continued his journey. The Yellow Peach City was a peaceful state without fear of theft or murder for greed, so there were no issues with Fang Yuan selling the entire tree at once.

Despite the peace, Fang Yuan decided against it since he didn't want others to know about the space storage treasure he had. No matter how peaceful the world was, some treasures could break that peace.

If others were to find out about his having a storage treasure large enough to store a tree, there were bound to be targets at him. He had already thought of a way to solve that trouble.

After walking into the market, he immediately walked to the general grocery store and purchased a large bag worth ten spirit coins. He felt knives cutting through his heart, paying that kind of money for a bag.

He then walked to the corner where he could be hidden from other's eyes and immediately went to the space inside the broken pagoda.

In the space, the tree had already been cut into several pieces to make the logistics easy. Fang Yuan immediately took two blocks, weighing ten kilograms each, and put them in the bag.

The next moment, he returned to the market, with the bag no longer empty.
