Fang Yuan Do's

CHAPTER 56 - Expelling Suspicions

"You opened it?" Gu Yue Bo frowned deeply.

"That's right, at this point, I won't hide it any further!"

Fang Yuan acted as if he was risking everything, speaking urgently, “I bought 6 purple gold stones at the gambling establishment, but since I don't have enough primeval essence, it's not enough, I just opened 5 on the spot."

"Last of all, I brought it back to the dormitory and after it opened, I found the Liquor Worm inside."

"I was overjoyed that I had searched for information about it before, and knew that the Liquor Worm was a rare Gu that could complement my talent shortcomings, so I refined it on the spot.”

"Wait, you said you bought 6 stones and opened Mudskin Toad and Liquor Worm?"

The clan elders after hearing this, were unwilling to ask in an unbelievable tone.

"Continue?"

In fact, Fang Yuan replied, then pointed towards the female Gu Master, shouting, "He can be my witness!"

Everyone on the scene was stunned for a moment before turning to look at the female Gu Master.

The female Gu Master felt the pressure from all the gazes and did not dare to lie.

So he honestly said, “Indeed, Fang Yuan bought 6 stones and opened Mudskin Toad on the fifth. He brought the sixth piece, but I don't know what he opened in it.”

"Buying 6 purple gold stones and getting 2 Gu in a row, isn't this luck too good?" The clan elder muttered.

“What is so difficult to understand? It was luck, who knows, heh, back then when I gambled my stone too.”.

"Wait, Gu is hard to define, why does it sound like Fang Yuan easily refined it?"

Some clan elders asked suspiciously.

“You're screwed. Did you not know that when Gu was extracted from fossils, they were very weak, wriggling on the verge of death?"

"Even refining from a lower rank is possible. What's weird about him refining the Liquor Worm?” Someone immediately replied.

Fang Yuan continued, “I refined the Liquor Worm and went to the store on the second day, I did go to the wine shop in the afternoon and buy a cup of monkey wine."

"In the evening, I go again and witness the deception scene, Jia Jin Sheng sells the stinky fat worm as Black Boar Gu to someone in my clan."

"Next, Mr. Jia Fu appears and resolves the dispute.”

“I went to the store again, but I didn't expect to see Jia Jin Sheng drinking wine in a bad mood."

"I just got the Liquor Worm and was very happy, so I asked him how many primeval stones I could sell."

"Who knows that Jia Jin Sheng after hearing my Liquor Worm, wants to buy it by force."

"Obviously I refused it, I had no intention of selling it, just wanted to know its value."

"Even if I wanted to sell it, it had to be done after I was ranked 2nd, so I left just like that.”

Fang Yuan's words had brought up the matter of the conflict of Jia Jin Sheng and Jia Fu, causing the clan elders to look at Jia Fu from a different point of view.

Under this pressing gaze, Jia Fu coughed and asked Fang Yuan with sparkling eyes, "Then is my sister chasing after you?"

Fang Yuan nodded, half lying, “He not only chased after me, but also added an additional 50 primeval stones."

"But I didn't want to sell it, so he was furious, claiming that the Gu Yue clan was no big deal, asking me to be careful."

"After saying that, he walked away. I never saw him again.”

Jia Fu nodded internally. With his understanding of Jia Jin Sheng, he would definitely pursue Fang Yuan and pose a threat because it was his style.

If Fang Yuan said he wasn't chasing after her, it was a lie.

But since Fang Yuan said so, this put Jia Fu in trouble. His investigation only led to this clue.

Was Jia Jin Sheng really not looking for Fang Yuan after that?

Perhaps he found Fang Yuan again afterwards, and since the two disagreed about the matter, he was killed by Fang Yuan —— This is entirely possible.

"Speak, was Jia Jin Sheng killed by you!"

Thinking of this, Jia Fu interrogated fiercely, trying to suppress Fang Yuan with his aura.

Fang Yuan denied once again, claiming that he did not see Jia Jin Sheng again.

Jia Fu had no other evidence, and while one party asked intensely, the other party denied. At this point, it had become a dead end.

As Gu Yue Bo listened to their conversation, she became displeased.

That Jia Jin Sheng actually dared to threaten the members of the Gu Yue clan in Qing Mao Mountain, this was completely disrespectful to the Gu Yue clan!

Now this Jia Fu dared to interrogate the members of the Gu Yue clan very intensely in front of all the higher-ups of the Gu Yue clan.

It was fine if he had evidence, but now that he had no proof or proof, if this matter were to spread, what would happen to the honor of the Gu Yue clan?

"Brother Jia, it's not like I want to talk carelessly."

The clan leader interrupted his interrogation and continued, “Jia Jin Sheng has been missing for days, his expectations are grim."

"The man who caused this crime must have left some traces. Did you find anything?”

Jia Fu stared intently at Fang Yuan before raising his head and sighing.

“I understand brother's words! If there's a trace, I won't come here to find the culprit."

"The criminal was clearly experienced with vile methods and meticulous handling."

"Frankly, all the clues were at a dead end, and on the day we left, there was a huge rain that could wipe out all possible traces of blood.”

Gu Yue Bo smiled faintly.

“Brother Jia, I heard your Jia clan has a Gu called Underworld Path Butterfly. It could emit a soul fragrance and be instilled on Gu."

"The aroma is colorless and odorless, and never fades. Gu members of your Jia clan all have this scent."

"As long as you use the Underworld Path Butterfly, following its fragrance, you will be able to find Gu as well as your sister.”

Jia Fu solemnly said, “I used the Underworld Path Butterfly a long time ago, but there was no effect."

Gu Yue Bo's words turned around, “Any. The killer injured your sister, but he didn't go for Gu, or blackmail to get the primeval stone."

"His killer killed this small 1st rank Gu Master, what was his motive?"

Indeed, what is the motive?

Regardless of whether Jia Jin Sheng is dead, there must be a motive, right?

If it wasn't for Gu or the primeval stone, then was it because of love?

But if it was a crime of lust, it should be a long-term process, and Jia Fu would not have come to the Gu Yue clan.

The members of the caravan and the clan would be more suspect since they had a long relationship with him.

Instantly, the hall became silent.

Fang Yuan followed everyone's gaze, and suddenly said to Jia Fu, “Maybe Jia Jin Sheng was killed by you."

"I heard earlier that your clan split assets, now that one brother is dead, aren't you going to get more assets?"

"Shut up!"

"Founded accusations, don't slander Mr. Jia Fu."

Soon the clan elders erupted.

Fang Yuan was immediately silent, his gaze shining indistinctly, but his goal had been achieved.

His words earlier were like pebbles thrown into the sea of elders' minds, causing waves of ripples.

The clan elders followed this line of thought, and began to think, 'Jia Fu cannot kill Jia Jin Sheng, this causes more harm to him than rewards.'

'Wait, even if he doesn't do it, it doesn't mean others won't…'

"Internal dispute of the Jia clan!" A certain elder had a flash of inspiration and muttered lightly.

The volume was not high, but in the quiet hall it could be heard clearly.

At once, the gazes of the elders shone.

'Finally, they thought of this.'

Fang Yuan's mouth twitched, his eyelids drooped, hiding his cold gaze.

The leader of the Jia clan wanted to divide the assets and give the role of clan leader, and because of this his sons experienced intense competition, especially Jia Fu and Jia Gui, who were the leaders of the clan, both of them were Gu Masters of rank 4 and had their own backers.

In these few years, the situation of the Jia clan was somewhat known to many villages.

Jia Jin Sheng's misfortune was too strange. There was currently no evidence to suggest that Fang Yuan was the killer.

Clearly the motivation for killing was not enough just based on the theory of killing just because of the Liquor Worm.

At the same time, the actions and methods of the assassin would not be too meticulous and secretive.

But if Jia Gui were to act in the shadows, then it could be explained.

Everyone present was a superior, and as someone who was in a position of power, there must be something capable about them.

At least for political schemes, they have great intuition and perception.

Dispute of the Jia clan, this gave everyone's imagination a pair of wings.

The leader of the Jia clan had arranged for Jia Jin Sheng to join the caravan.

One reason was to test Jia Fu's nature, to see if he was a good big brother, and to just suppress but not bully his sister.

Now that Jia Jin Sheng is in trouble, Jia Fu will be involved, and who is the real winner?

Clearly Jia Fu's greatest competitor, Jia Gui!

The actions of criminals are so fluid, causing all clues to be deadlocked, this shows how experienced the criminal is.

How could this be done by a 15-year-old like Fang Yuan?

All answers revealed at once!

The discussion hall was still silent, but the elders exchanged meaningful glances.

“To make someone believe in something wholeheartedly, not by convincing, but directing.”

Fang Yuan's sharp observation allowed him to see this gaze, and he laughed coldly in his heart, but his face still showed an expression of anger and stubbornness.

Jia Fu's face was so dark and gloomy that it could drip water.

The matter of the internal strife of the Jia clan made him think of Jia Gui.

At that moment, his soul trembled!

Who else has greater motivation than Jia Gui?

There ain't!

"I understand now, I understand everything."

The academy elder stood behind Fang Yuan, looking at him. His eyes shone, “Fang Yuan was lucky and unlucky, meeting Jia Jin Sheng in the last moment."

"With his age just starting school, how could he have dispelled all that evidence?"

"If he had such cunning abilities, how could he show this expression of persistence."

"He denied it earlier only to hide the existence of Liquor Worm.”

At this point, everyone had dispelled their suspicions towards Fang Yuan!

“Removing suspicion on me is only the first step, what happens next is very important.”

Fang Yuan understood the situation, and at this point, everything went according to plan. He sighed internally and looked at Jia Fu.

Jia Fu looked at him as well, the discontent in his eyes grew clearer.
