Fang Yuan Do's

CHAPTER 55 - Exactly the Words I Want to Hear

The moon, round like a wheel, was faintly visible among the floating clouds.

The academy elder hurriedly walked down the street, his face barely visible under the flickering moonlight.

It was difficult to survive in this world, and the loss of the Gu Master was commonplace.

With his vast life experience, the academy elder knew that under normal circumstances, this kind of sudden disappearance often meant death.

Anyone can die, but Jia Jin Sheng can't!

Especially not in Gu Yue Village.

His identity was special, his father was the leader of the Jia clan, his older brother was the 4th ranked Gu Master, Jia Fu.

A rank 4 Gu Master had a yellow golden primeval essence, and they possessed absurd fighting power.

Within the Gu Yue clan, only the clan leaders were ranked 4th and could match him, whereas the other clan elders were all ranked 3rd.

The leader of the Jia clan was at a higher cultivation level.

He was a rank 5 Gu Master, and under his leadership the Jia clan became prosperous, becoming a large-sized clan and possessing the resources of an entire mountain, with a large number of clan members.

Compared to them, the Gu Yue clan was only of medium size.

If the two clans fought, the Gu Yue clan would definitely be harmed.

The most important part was, if this matter were to spread, the reputation of the Gu Yue clan would be tarnished. Many traders are wary of choosing their route.

Without interaction with the merchants, the excess local resources of the Gu Yue clan would have no way to sell, and the external resources they needed would be unable to be bought.

As time goes by, they will definitely weaken.

"This matter is severe, if we don't handle it well, it will be a disaster!" The academy elder anxiously rushed towards the pavilion of the clan leader.

As soon as he stepped into the conference room in the clan leader pavilion, the academy elder felt a serious atmosphere.

The main seat was occupied by the current clan leader, Gu Yue Bo.

The fat and short Jia Fu took 5 to 6 followers with him and stood in the middle of the hall, adopting an accusative attitude.

Under the bright light of the lights, the serious faces of the elders standing beside their seats were clearly visible.

Jia Fu was a rank 4 Gu Master, and since he did not sit down, this rank 3 clan elder naturally did not dare to sit down.

This was the deterrent power of a rank 4 Gu Master.

It is also a form of respect for power.

"Greetings..."

The clan elders were about to pay their respects, but they were stopped by Gu Yue Bo's hand.

Gu Yue Bo who had gray white hair used her finger to rub her temples, a depressed expression on her face.

"I won't say more about this matter, the clan academy is always under your supervision. Let me ask, where is Gu Yue Fang Yuan?"

The academy elder was shocked. Internally he thought, 'how does that relate to Fang Yuan's boy?'

He replied politely, "Right now, he should be cultivating in the academy's dormitory."

The clan leader sighed, "Brother Jia is very suspicious now, he thinks that the disappearance of his younger brother, Jia Jin Sheng has something to do with Fang Yuan."

"I order you to go immediately and bring him here."

The academy elder shuddered in his heart.

"Yes!"

He understood the severity of the matter, and hurriedly saluted before he turned around and left.

"Brother Jia, that Fang Yuan will be brought here soon, sit down." Gu Yue Bo pointed to a chair nearby and said to Jia Fu.

Jia Fu bitterly laughed, cupping his fists towards Gu Yue Bo.

"I'm sorry to brother Gu Yue!"

"I was so anxious back then, it had been days since I saw my sister, I was afraid of the worst. I really can't wait."

There are some things that, only after the loss can be understood.

Jia Fu had only realized it in these few days, the reason why his father had paired it with Jia Jin Sheng for the caravan.

That's to test its nature. See if he can, while suppressing his sister, remember their kinship, and at the same time take care of this sister.

If Jia Jin Sheng was dead now, how would his father look at him?

When he realized this, he immediately held an investigation in the caravan, and quickly set his target in Gu Yue village.

He rushed back without a break.

Now that he stood up, reluctantly sitting down, it was to cause the impression that he was determined to catch the culprit.

This equally exuded pressure on the Gu Yue clan and also gave assurances to his father when he returned to the Jia clan.

"Reporting to the clan leader, Lord Jia, Fang Yuan has been brought here." Quickly, the academy elder brought Fang Yuan into the hall.

"Gu Yue Fang Yuan saluted the clan elder, Lord Jia Fu, and the various clan elders." Fang Yuan said with an expressionless face.

"That's it?"

Jia Fu coldly observed Fang Yuan, at the same time, asking a female Gu Master.

This female Gu Master was the one who worked at the place where Fang Yuan bought the purple gold stone in the gambling den.

"Yes, that's it! There's no mistake." The female Gu Master looked at Fang Yuan, saying confidently.

Ji Fu nodded. His gaze was immediately like a blade, slashing at Fang Yuan.

But he did not interrogate openly, as this was the Gu Yue clan, so he had to respect the leader of the Gu Yue clan.

So he looked towards the leader of the Gu Yue clan.

Gu Yue Bo had a serious expression.

He knew that Jia Fu had deliberately spoken to the female Gu Master loudly, it was not only to confirm Fang Yuan's identity, but also to affirm his motive.

He implied to clan leader Gu Yue that he had evidence in his hands, "I have enough confidence, so you better not defend your own clan too much."

This caused displeasure in Gu Yue Bo's heart, thinking, 'You Jia Fu lost your sister, it was your fault from the start.'

'My Clan Gu Yue is impartial and works based on logic, but make no mistake that this is a weakness!'

Thinking of this, he did not immediately interrogate Fang Yuan, but loudly said to the female Gu Master, "Did you see clearly?"

"I'm not afraid to tell you this, but Fang Yuan has a twin brother who looks so similar to him, are you really sure it's him?"

The female Gu Master was only rank 1, and under Gu Yue Bo's pressure, she immediately showed a hesitant and nervous expression.

Jia Fu frowned and took a step forward, blocking him from Gu Yue Bo's sight.

Cupping his fists, he said, "Brother Gu Yue, I have always respected the Gu Yue clan. Especially the leader of the first and fourth clans of the Gu Yue clan, both of them were Gu Masters ranked 5."

"One built a clan from scratch, where he went through hard times and created the foundation of the 100-year-old Gu Yue clan."

"The other is a good-natured hero, for in order to protect his clan he sacrifices himself, and deserves respect."

"Brother Gu Yue, as the clan leader, I'm sure you will act impartially, please interrogate this Fang Yuan."

Hearing that his tone had softened, Gu Yue Bo nodded, but her heart had decided.

If Fang Yuan was the culprit, then he would hand it over. After all he was only C class, there was no harm in losing him. As long as it is able to resolve this dispute.

If Fang Zheng were to do so, Fang Yuan was also to blame. Fang Zheng was an A-grade genius, the only one in 3 years.

The clan higher-ups were still hoping to nurture him to fight against Bai Ning Bing of the Bai clan.

"Fang Yuan, don't be nervous."

Clan leader Gu Yue smiled magnanimously, using a gentle tone towards Fang Yuan, "Let me ask, do you know that information about Jia Jin Sheng?"

"Who is Jia Jin Sheng?" Fang Yuan looked up and said calmly.

"He lied!"

The female Gu Master of the gambling den shouted right as Fang Yuan finished his question.

The people in the discussion room, upon hearing this scream, frowned and all looked towards him.

The female Gu Master pointed towards Fang Yuan, showing a restless expression, "That's her, that's her! In our gambling den, he bought 6 purple gold stones, and the fifth one contained Mudskin Toad Gu."

"Young master Jia saw it and used 500 primeval stones to buy it."

"It leaves a very big impression on me, even if 1 or 2 years pass, I won't forget it."

"It's not just me, but the other Gu Masters in the gambling den also saw it."

"Is that so..."

The smile of clan leader Gu Yue disappeared, showing a stiff expression and dragging his question towards Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan only nodded now, showing a hint of nervousness, and pretended to suddenly realize.

"Oh, there it is. Alright, if he is Jia Jin Sheng, then I know him. But after the gambling house incident, I never saw him again."

"He's lying again!"

This time, it was not the female Gu Master, but the male Gu Master who shouted in public.

Fang Yuan looked towards him, and as if he recognized him, showed a shocked expression, but quickly tried to hide it.

The change in his expression was reflected in everyone's eyes.

Everyone started to ponder.

"Dear gentlemen, I'm an employee at the wine shop."

The male Gu Master first cupped his fists to everyone, and then excitedly pointed towards Fang Yuan.

"That night, I saw clearly in the shop, he was sitting with young Master Jia Jin Sheng, and the two of them quietly spoke for a long time!"

As soon as he said it, the hall exploded into a soft discussion.

The academy elder used a cold gaze and looked at Fang Yuan.

Clan leader Gu Yue moved back slightly, slowly leaning back on the large chair.

"How did that happen!"

Fang Yuan showed a clear panicked expression, hurriedly saying, "The wine shop has so many people, how can you recognize me just like that? You may be wrong!"

"Haha, I'm definitely not wrong."

The male Gu Master smiled, his gaze staring at Fang Yuan, at this moment he felt extremely confident.

"Not to mention young master Jia Jin Sheng coming to our shop, we have to take care of him carefully."

"Even if it wasn't him, I would still recognize you, because you gave me a strong impression!"

Saying so, he raised his eyebrows, saying arrogantly, "Do you still remember? That day you came to our shop, wanted a cup of monkey wine."

"But you only drink a sip. After that you release the Liquor Worm and feed the rest of the monkey wine to him."

"I saw the Liquor Worm and was very agitated, wanting to buy it from you but you refused to sell it and left immediately!"

'Good, exactly what I want to hear.'

Fang Yuan laughed coldly in his heart, but showed a shocked expression on his face, subconsciously taking a step back.

"Liquor Worm!" The eyes of the academy elder behind Fang Yuan shone.

But he quickly frowned again, and inevitably asked, "Fang Yuan, where did you get that Liquor Worm from?"

Fang Yuan clenched his fists, gritting his teeth, but refused to answer.

The clan elders in the surroundings became furious, starting to frown.

"Fang Yuan, do you know the problem you caused!"

"Talk, what exactly is going on?"

"Tell us what you know, admit it. Liquor this Worm, does it belong to Jia Jin Sheng?"

"How could it be his?"

"Liquor Worm is clearly self-obtained! I opened it!"

Fang Yuan suddenly raised his head, his expression rising, as if he could not bear such slander, and shouted loudly with angry emotions.
