Fang Yuan Do's

CHAPTER 18 - Let the Past Disappear Like Smoke

Facing his sister's question, Fang Yuan did not speak, he continued to eat his breakfast.

He knew the character of his younger brother, Fang Zheng was not someone who could keep his composure.

Sure enough, Fang Zheng saw that his brother did not even notice him, as if he was just air.

In the next moment he called out in a tone full of unhappiness, "Sister, what did you do to Shen Cui? Ever since she came out of your room yesterday, she's been crying everywhere."

"When I comforted her, she cried even harder."

Fang Yuan looked at his sister, his face expressionless.

Fang Zheng frowned, looking at his brother resolutely, waiting for his answer.

The atmosphere is getting tense.

But Fang Yuan only stared at him for a while before he lowered his head and continued eating.

Fang Zheng was instantly confused. Fang Yuan's attitude was definitely an unseen humiliation towards him.

Under the embarrassment and frustration he banged his hand against the table, roaring loudly, "Gu Yue Fang Yuan, how can you act like this!"

"Shen Cui as the servant girl has been serving you for many years, I've seen her tenderness and concern for you."

"Yes, I know you feel lost, and I can understand your sad feelings. Yes, you're only a C-class talent, but that doesn't mean you can vent your anger on others just because of your own misfortune. It's not fair to him!"

He had just finished when Fang Yuan stood up, raising his hand in an instant.

The slap!

With a loud flick, he struck hard at Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng covered his right cheek, staggered 2 steps back, his face full of shock.

"A useless scoundrel, what kind of tone did you use to talk to your own brother?!"

"Shen Cui is just a servant girl!"

"Just because of a lowly girl like her, you'll forget that I'm your sister?" Fang Yuan reprimanded in a low voice.

Fang Zheng finally reacted, the stinging pain on his face surging through his nervous system in waves.

He stared wide-eyed, his breathing rough as he said in disbelief, "Sister, you hit me? Ever since I was young to adulthood, you've never hit me before!"

"Yes, I'm known to have class A talent, you're just class C. But you also can't blame me for that, this is all a heaven setting..."

The slap!

Fang Zheng had not finished speaking, yet Fang Yuan used the back of his hand and struck him again.

Fang Zheng covered both of his cheeks with both of his hands. She's stunned.

"Stupid, do you remember!"

"From childhood until now, how do I take care of you?"

"When our parents died, our lives were difficult. During the New Year, aunt and uncle only gave us both 1 new robe, did I wear it?"

"Who am I giving to wear?"

"When you're a kid, you like to eat sweet porridge, I'll tell the kitchen to make you another bowl every day."

"When you're bullied by someone else, who brings you back?"

"Not to mention a lot of other things, I don't think it's worth talking about. Well, now that a servant, you're going to talk to me like this, come to question me?"

Fang Zheng's face was red. His lips were trembling, embarrassed and annoyed, also shocked and angry.

But he could not say a single word of rebuttal.

Because everything Fang Yuan said was the truth!

"Anything."

Fang Yuan sneered, "Since you even handed over your own biological parents and acknowledged others, what is my value to you, only your brother?"

"Sister, how can you say that. You also know that I've always missed the warmth of family since I was a kid, me..." Fang Zheng immediately explained.

Fang Yuan waved his hand, stopping his younger brother from continuing.

"From today onwards, you are not my sister, and I am no longer your brother."

"Sister!" Fang Zheng was startled, opening his mouth to say more.

At this moment Fang Yuan spoke, "Do you not like Shen Cui? Don't worry, I didn't do anything to him. She's still a virgin, untouched and pure."

"Give me 6 primeval stones and I'll hand them over to you, from today onwards he can be your personal servant."

"Sister, why are you..." For his inner thoughts to unfold so suddenly, Fang Zheng felt a wave of panic, feeling somewhat unprepared.

But at the same time his heart was convinced. The one thing he was most worried about did not come true.

Not long ago at night, Shen Cui personally served and bathed her.

Although nothing important had happened, Fang Zheng would never be able to forget the gentleness of the night.

Whenever he thought of Shen Cui, he would remember his skillful hands and his soft red lips, and his heart would pound.

A heartfelt young feeling had long been embedded in the young man's chest, beginning to grow.

So when he found out about Shen Cui's unusual state last night, anger immediately burst out from his heart.

He instantly gave up refining his Moonlight Gu and turned around the village trying to find Fang Yuan, wanting to make a statement.

Seeing that Fang Zheng did not reply, Fang Yuan frowned and said, "Love is very normal, be honest. There is no point in hiding. Of course, if you don't want to exchange, that's okay."

Fang Zheng was anxious on the spot.

"I'll exchange! Why don't I switch. But I don't have enough primeval stones."

As he said this, he took out his money bag, his face flushed red.

Fang Yuan took the pouch and found 6 pieces inside, but one of them was half the size of a regular primeval stone.

He immediately knew that Fang Zheng had absorbed the primeval essence of this stone to speed up his Moonlight Gu refining process.

The more primeval essence absorbed from the primeval stone, the smaller the stone, and the lighter it will also be.

Although it was only 5.5 pieces, Fang Yuan knew, these were all primeval stones that Fang Zheng currently possessed.

Fang Zheng had no savings of his own, and these 6 primeval stones were the ones that Aunt and Uncle had given him not long ago.

"I'll keep this, you can go now." Fang Yuan's expression was cold as he kept the bag.

"Sister..." Fang Zheng wanted to say more.

Fang Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, speaking slowly and casually, "Before I change my mind, you better disappear from my eyes."

Fang Zheng felt his heart tighten. He gritted his teeth, and finally turned around and left.

When he stepped through the door of the inn, he involuntarily covered his chest with his hands, feeling a wave of uneasiness.

There was a feeling telling him that he had just lost something very important.

But very quickly he felt hot at the thought of Shen Cui, and that beautiful night.

"I can finally have you as mine, Cui Cui." He did not look back, and walked out of Fang Yuan's sight.

Fang Yuan stood expressionless, he stood for a long time, then finally slowly sat down.

Bright sunlight passed through the window, shining on his indifferent face, making those who saw him feel somewhat cold inside.

The business in the cafeteria was rather poor, and the streets were getting crowded with people. The noise and furore of the bustling crowd flashed by, making the place feel even quieter.

The plate gets cold. A worker came over attentively, asking if Fang Yuan wanted to reheat his breakfast.

Fang Yuan did not hear it. His gaze continued to shift like a cloud, as if he was reminiscing some old memories. The worker waited a moment.

But when he saw Fang Yuan in a daze, never saying a word, he could only rub his nose and leave with a bitter feeling.

After a long time, Fang Yuan's eyes refocused. The memories of the past in his heart were like smoke, they had already dispersed.

He came back to reality once again. The flowing sunlight illuminated half the table.

He reached into his robe and patted the 5.5 primeval stone on his chest, his mouth forming a bitter and mocking smile. But that smile was quickly discarded.

"Servant, go and reheat this plate for me."

Fang Yuan looked at his plate and faintly opened his mouth, shouting. At this moment his eyes looked extremely cold.

"What! Your brother really said that?" In the hall, Uncle frowned, his voice cold.

Aunty sat on the side, speechlessly staring at the fresh red hand prints on Fang Zheng's cheeks.

"Yes, when I met my sister, she was at the inn for breakfast. Everything goes like this." Fang Zheng replied politely.

Uncle's wrinkle deepened, everything condensed into 3 black lines.

After a few breaths, he sighed and said in a serious tone, "Fang Zheng my son, you should remember this.

Shen Cui is not Fang Yuan's personal property, we assigned him to it. How could he use it as merchandise?"

"If you want it, you should have told us in advance. We'll just assign it to you."

"Aah?" Fang Zheng was stunned as he listened to this.

Uncle waved his hand.

"You can take a leave of absence. You give all your primeval stones to Fang Yuan, so I'll give you 6 more."

"Remember, use it properly to refine your Gu and snatch the number one. We'll be so proud of you when you do."

"Dad, your son is ashamed..." Fang Zheng suddenly shed tears.

Uncle sighed and replied, "Just go, hurry back to your room and refine your Gu. You don't have much time left."

When Fang Zheng left, Uncle's face showed a ferocious and angry expression.

Bang out!

He hit the table with his palm using a huge, hissing force, "Hmph, this damn bastard. He actually used our worker to make an exchange, he's really sneaky!"

Aunt advised, "My husband, calm your anger. That's only 6 primeval stones."

"What do you understand, woman! This Fang Yuan is only a C grade talent, if he wants to refine Moonlight Gu he will need a primeval stone."

"With his weak cultivation, 6 primeval stones would not be enough to refine him."

"But now he's got 12, that's more than enough." Uncle was so angry that he gritted his teeth

He added, "The cultivation of a Gu Master will be very fast as long as there are sufficient resources and no obstacles."

"In 2 or 3 years, the clan will be able to produce a rank 2 Gu Master."

"The lower Fang Yuan's cultivation rank, the less hope he had of trying to seize the family legacy 1 year later."

"Right now he was young, just starting to cultivate. We'll get in his way and let the initial process get left behind by people his age."

"Academy resources are always given to outstanding students. With his natural talent, once he retreated, he would not be able to obtain any resources."

"Without the aid of resources, his cultivation would fall even further. With this demon circle, I want to see if he has the ability to inherit the family legacy a year later!"

Aunt doesn't understand. "Even if we don't stop him, he will at most be at the intermediate stage 1st rank a year later."

"My husband, your cultivation is at rank 2, why are you still afraid of him?"

Uncle was so angry that he stepped on and said, "Woman, you are really a case of 'long hair but short insights'!"

"Only with my identity as a senior, should I really defeat the younger generation?"

"If he wants to regain his inheritance, it's natural and can't be stopped directly, I can only fight using the rules of the clan."

"Stated in the clan rules, In order to become the head of the family at the age of 16, the person must have at least an intermediate stage rank 1 cultivation."

"Otherwise, it meant that Fang Yuan had no right to waste the clan's resources. After I say this, do you understand now?"

Enlightened aunt.

Uncle narrowed his eyes, a glint in his gaze.

He shook his head slightly, sighing as he said, "Fang Yuan is too clever, too cunning. He can even see through the power play. What kind of intelligence is that?"

"Planning and counting at such a young age, how terrorizing it is!"

"Initially I would continue plotting against him, yet he moved immediately."

"I wanted to rely more on Shen Cui to monitor and trouble him, but in the end he left and even obtained 6 primeval stones."

"Unfortunately, if he could be as stupid as Fang Zheng, that would be great. Oh right, from today onwards you should treat Fang Zheng better."

"After all, he is an A-class talent. Not to mention I could see that he had dissatisfied and unhappy feelings towards Fang Yuan."

"These emotions are a good thing, they should be well guided. I have a feeling that he will be the best tool to deal with Fang Yuan in the future!"

In the blink of an eye, 2 days had passed.

In the room, there were no lights. The moonlight enters, spreading the color of frost.

On the bed, Fang Yuan sat cross-legged, his eyes closed. He moved his green copper primeval essence, focusing his mind on refining the Liquor Worm.

On his body, the small incision had been dyed with the green color of the green copper, but the will of the Liquor Worm was still as strong as before.

It was constantly struggling in the middle of the refining process of primeval essence.

The process of refining Fang Yuan did not go smoothly. That was very difficult.

"I spent 2 days 2 nights, only resting 2 hours each day, and I spent 12 primeval stones but only managed to refine about 1/15."

"Calculating by time, I guess someone will be able to successfully refine their Gu within these few days."

Fang Yuan could see the situation clearly.

However his talent was a bad class, add the Liquor Worm that he was trying to refine had a very tenacious will to live on, it was even stronger than Moonlight Gu.

The resulting lagging situation is normal.

"The moment left behind is nothing, as long as I have the Liquor Worm..."

Fang Yuan's heart was as clear as a mirror, there was not the slightest bit of anxiety and despair within him. Suddenly, the Liquor Worm curled up into a ball.

"Oh no, Liquor Worm is counterattacking!" Fang Yuan immediately opened his eyes, a hint of astonishment in his gaze.

Before him, the Liquor Worm had curled up into small, round dumplings, violently emitting a dazzling white light.

It risked everything in this last one!

Instantly Fang Yuan felt a strong will rush out from the body of the Liquor Worm, flowing directly through the primeval essence and descending into the primeval sea at its aperture.

A situation where Gu's counterattacks were extremely rare. Only Gu with a very strong will would give everything, whether it be success or death.

In the face of such a scenario, ordinary teenagers would panic now.

Although surprised, Fang Yuan did not panic, instead he was rather happy.

"Risking everything in one last attempt, this is also a good thing. As long as I can handle this counterattack, the will of the Liquor Worm will be greatly weakened."

"But I must be fully focused on resisting this will, I cannot accept the slightest disturbance from outside. Or else it would be bad, huh..."

"But I hope no one comes and bothers me during this period."

His mind was finished, he was ready to gather the primeval essence in his aperture, ready to accept the will of the Liquor Worm. He would get entangled with it and fight it 300 rounds.

But at this moment, a magical event happened!

In the middle of its aperture, just above the primeval sea high in the air, a Gu appeared.

Booms!

An extremely strong breath came out from this Gu.

This breath was like a universe flowing out, and flood waters were rushing down from the mountains.

However, it was also like a terrifying ferocious beast whose dignity was offended that opened its red eyes and looked around to see who dared to violate its territory!

"This is Spring Autumn Cicada?!" Seeing this Gu, Fang Yuan was completely shocked!!
