Fang Yuan Do's

CHAPTER 58 - Clans Don't Just Have Rules and Regulations

"Clan leader, what's wrong?" The academy elder respectfully stood in the corner.

"It's okay, sit down, I have a story to share with you." Gu Yue Bo narrowed her eyes and said slowly.

"Your subordinates will listen attentively!"

The academy elder chose to sit on the seat closest to the clan leader.

Clan leader Gu Yue Bo started his story about Ren Zu.

Someone said—

Since Ren Zu could get their name and conquer Rules and Regulations Gu, his first order was for them to capture Longevity Gu.

Rules and Regulations Gu, circle and square, cooperate and can capture all the Gu in the world, Longevity Gu is not a difficult thing.

Ren Zu used Longevity Gu and regained his youth, becoming another 20 years old.

But now Rule Gu says, "Humans, even if you conquer us, every time you order us, it will add rules and regulations."

Regulation Gu continued, "We can capture Longevity Gu for you, this is the first order."

"Our new rules and regulations are, we won't repeatedly catch the same Gu for you."

That is, if Ren Zu wanted to capture Longevity Gu again, Rules and Regulations Gu would not help.

Ren Zu nodded, having no choice but to accept.

He gave his second order, "Then, other than Longevity Gu, please capture all the other Gu in the world for me."

Rules and Regulations Gu got this command and Rule Gu turned into a giant circle, encompassing the universe.

Regulation Gu turned into a giant box, covering the big world.

One box and one circle formed a giant net together, enveloping the entire world.

When they shrank again and returned to Ren Zu, all the Gu in the world other than Longevity Gu were captured.

Ren Zu was overjoyed, with this all of Gu being his, from now on he was the ruler of the world!

But as soon as he opened the net, with a swoosh, a large number of Gu flew out.

Gu the Rules and Regulations Gu worked hard to catch, all of them fleeing in earnest.

When Ren Zu closed the net, there were only 5 Gu left.

"Why this?" Ren Zu was stunned.

Rules and Regulations Gu replied, "Humans, the world has more than 10,000 types of Gu with all kinds of abilities."

"You have no power or wisdom, how can you conquer them?"

"We can only capture Gu for you, in order to conquer them, you have to rely on yourself for them to work for you."

Next they added, "This is your second command, so we will add a second rule and regulation. From now on, we can only capture 1 Gu for you at a time."

Ren Zu could only nod, and carefully opened the net, only showing a small gap.

The remaining 5 Gu contained Strength Gu and Wisdom Gu. Seeing this, Ren Zu was overjoyed.

He said to Strength Gu, "Strength Gu, you left me back then, are you sorry?"

"If you give up on me now, I'll give you back your freedom."

Strength Gu said, "Human, you're wrong. I didn't leave because I couldn't, but because I wanted to stay. You want to conquer me but that's impossible."

"I'm just giving up on those who are stronger than me, but you're out of the question."

"Anyway we can deal again, give me your youth and I will obey you for a while."

Ren Zu was reluctant to hear this, he had just regained his youth, was he going to lose it again?

But he wanted strength, he knew that with strength, he would become stronger and life would become easier.

Moreover, with strength, he could conquer even more Gu.

So, Ren Zu accepted it, and made a second deal with it.

Ren Zu became middle-aged at once, and Strength Gu flew out of the net and landed on Ren Zu's shoulder.

Ren Zu had strength, and was full of confidence.

He said to Wisdom Gu, "Wisdom Gu, you left me back then, are you sorry?"

"If you give up on me now, I'll give you back your freedom."

Wisdom Gu said, "Human, you are wrong. I didn't leave because I couldn't, but because I wanted to stay. You want to conquer me but that's impossible."

"I'm just giving up on those who are smarter than me, and yet you're not smarter than me."

"But we can deal again, give me your baby beak and I'll obey you for a while."

Ren Zu after hearing this, refused to do the same deal again.

He valued his life more, and he also knew that once he sold middle age, he would be left with old age.

Soon enough, Strength Gu and Wisdom Gu would leave him again, just like last time.

Ren Zu refused to transact, but did not want to let go of Wisdom Gu.

Wisdom Gu was anxious, reluctantly giving up, "Alright, Man, you won. I lost to you this time."

"As long as you tell me what method you used to catch me, I will admit defeat and take nothing from you, ready to help you."

After hearing this, Ren Zu was overjoyed and before Rules and Regulations Gu could stop him, he said, "I used Rules and Regulations Gu to catch you."

Wisdom Gu laughed hearing, "I remember it, so this Gu is called Rules and Regulations. Haha, now that I know your name, you can no longer catch me."

Saying so, it turned into a flash of light and flew away, disappearing into thin air.

Rules and Regulations Gu began to complain, "Humans, we've long since told you that our names should be known to you alone, and not anyone else."

"If not, we will be used by others. See what happens, now that Wisdom Gu knows our name, it's causing trouble."

Only then did Ren Zu realize that he had been tricked by Wisdom Gu.

He was sad, because he knew he had lost the only chance he had to capture Wisdom Gu using Rules and Regulations Gu.

Saying so, Gu Yue Bo's story ended. He looked at the academy elder with a meaningful gaze.

The academy elder jumped up from his seat. He had heard Ren Zu's story long ago, but from Gu Yue Bo's mouth, it had a greater meaning.

"Fang Yuan as Wisdom Gu and the clan as Ren Zu. Although Ren Zu used Rules and Regulation Gu to capture Wisdom Gu and successfully trap him, Wisdom Gu finally escaped."

Saying so, the academy elder paused for a moment and thought about it for a moment, before looking towards Gu Yue Bo.

"Clan leader, you want me to release Fang Yuan and stop suppressing him? But he's getting overdone..."

Gu Yue Bo stopped the words of the academy elder, stretched out his hand, hinting for him to sit down and speak.

The academy elder sat down and heard Gu Yue Bo sigh, "You, your understanding is still incredible, being an intelligent person, easily understand my point."

"Unfortunately your understanding of the situation is still too small, you can only see a small plot of land in front of you."

"Let me tell you, the academy is a small matter, and the clan is the most important."

"I know what you're worried about, afraid that the other students are being suppressed all out by Fang Yuan, eventually losing the fire in their hearts. Hehe."

Gu Yue Bo shook her head, pointing to the academy elder, "You think too much about it."

"What do you think the clan is doing?"

"Just relying on your academy to nurture new people?"

"Of course not, behind every student, there are their parents, elders, and friends."

"Only with the support, encouragement, hope of these people, the new generation of our Gu Yue clan can have confidence and motivation in their hearts."

"Fang Yuan did repeatedly exceed my expectations, he has a slight overwhelming advantage."

"I've been observing Fang Zheng secretly and I've long known about Fang Yuan's blackmail, let him continue."

"Use him to train Fang Zheng, Mo Bei and Chi Cheng, this rough jade."

"There are many advantages in this, at least this year's students have the best fighting skills among all the previous years."

The academy elder was worried, "But the clan leader, excessive obstacles are also not a good thing, it will destroy the jade."

"Especially because Fang Yuan has the Liquor Worm right now, it provides a great help to the 1st rank Gu Master."

"I'm worried that at rank 1, under Fang Yuan's suppression, no one will be able to reverse the situation."

"Then let them not be able to turn things around!"

Gu Yue Bo snorted, showing the elegance and indifference of someone in power.

"This little setback, what's the difference?"

"Is it more frightening than death?"

"With the support of their elders, if they still lacked motivation, then they were not even jade in the first place and had no value to nurture."

"Klan has a lot of new students at the academy every year, so if this season doesn't work out, there's always the next season."

"As for Gu Yue Fang Zheng, starting tomorrow night, I will teach him in secret."

"With the personal teachings of the clan leader, it was truly Gu Yue Fang Zheng's luck."

The academy elder licked his boots at the right time.

Gu Yue Bo's expression softened as she looked towards the academy's elder, instructing, "Do you know the reason why after several decades, you are still the academy's elder?"

"Having a greater tolerance, I know Fang Yuan violated your dignity and humiliated you, but do you really have to be so calculating with the juniors of the younger generation?"

"I knew that Fang Yuan had wisdom before, but he was still young and tended to be rash."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have hurt the guards in public and caused you to be in trouble."

"He was very angry internally back then and that's understandable. From being praised as a genius to an ordinary person, it is normal to be angry at the clan."

"He's actually very childish, you can tell from him who tried to hide the Liquor Worm. How could the Liquor Worm be hidden?"

"He's immature and still innocent, don't think of him as a scary creature."

"Compared him to Wisdom Gu, I think too highly of him. At most, he had little intelligence, but lacked true wisdom and knowledge."

"If he were to hide the fact that he broke through to the intermediate stage secretly, or accept the position of class leader without any displeasure, that would be a very deep plan."

"Clan leader, you mean is?" The academy elder raised his eyebrows.

"What I want to say is, Fang Yuan is not satisfied with the clan, so let him vent his anger. An ant spits on an elephant, will an elephant care?"

"Emotions were meant to be issued and not kept inside, so after he finished venting them, he would naturally fuse with the clan."

"Our Gu Yue Clan has been around for nearly 500 years since the first clan leader founded it."

"There are countless people who are dissatisfied with the clan, but in the end are any of them able to successfully reverse the clan?"

"Klan is not just about rules and regulations, there are also blood relations and kinship."

"Ren Zu wanted to use Rules and Regulations Gu to capture Wisdom Gu."

"However not only did he lose, but he also told Wisdom Gu about Rules and Regulations Gu."

"There's deep meaning in this story, the rules are dead, but people are alive, and relationships are deep."

"If you only know how to use the rules and regulations to catch people, it will only increase resentment and cause Fang Yuan to become increasingly unrelated to the clan."

"Fang Yuan is only C-class, if he is lucky, after decades he is still a low-ranking clan elder."

"But he is still Gu Yue Fang Zheng's twin brother, do you understand now?"

"Understood!"

Hearing Gu Yue Bo's last sentence, the academy elder instantly realized.

"Mmm, if a clan only has rules and regulations, then a clan is a pile of inanimate objects."

"But if you add blood ties, it'll be alive."

Gu Yue Bo nodded, "And one more sentence, I want you to remember it."

"Please rebuke me, clan leader."

Gu Yue Bo, with a distant look, looked out the window towards the moon, "The sea can hold water from thousands of rivers, large because of its capacity."

"Someone is great when he can be tolerant and forgiving to many others. Remember this, and go."

"Yes, clan leader, your subordinates are gone." Said the academy elder as he left the hall.
