Fang Yuan Do's

CHAPTER 59 - Apart from Rank Three Or Four, You Are All Monkeys

The moon tonight is very round.

The moonlight shone beautifully and was like a muslin cloth, enveloping Qing Mao Mountain.

Treasure Brass Toad would cover a distance of 10 meters with each jump.

Due to his jumping method to move forward, the steep and narrow mountain path could not serve as a boundary or barrier to it.

Jia Fu and his crew sat behind the Treasure Brass Toad. After exiting Gu Yue Village, they once again headed towards the merchant caravan.

The wind blew past their ears, and their gaze followed the Treasure Brass Toad as it moved up and down.

The moonlight shone on everyone's faces and they all looked solemn, while Jia Fu's face was ice-cold.

After a while, a close subordinate could not bear this atmosphere and asked Jia Fu, "Master, what are we going to do now?"

"Jia Jin Sheng died, once Master returns, how are you going to answer the old master? Should we find the scapegoat first..."

Jia Fu shook his head, but avoided the question, "Do you know the story of Ren Zu?"

The subordinate was stunned, not expecting this answer. Instantly he did not know how to answer.

Jia Fu continued, "Ren Zu has Rules and Regulations Gu, and can capture all Gu in the world, gaining Strength Gu but losing Wisdom Gu."

"At that time the net still contained 3 Gu. He opened and saw that they were Attitude Gu, Belief Gu, and Suspicion Gu respectively."

"Ren Zu was unwilling to let them go, so the three Gu could only bet with him."

"Once Ren Zu opened the net, they would run off in 3 different directions, and anyone captured by Ren Zu would be subdued. Guess who Ren Zu finally caught?"

The trusted aide thought, and replied, "That's Attitude Gu!"

"Do you know why?" Ask Jia Fu.

The loyal subordinate shook his head.

Jia Fu laughed, "Because attitude means everything. No matter if dad 'believes' or 'suspects', I've already shown my 'attitude."

"Jia Jin Sheng is missing, and I will immediately conduct an investigation in the caravan. As soon as I got a hint, I rushed towards the Gu Yue clan nonstop."

"In the village, I risked the danger of being attacked by them and interrogated them on the spot."

"I didn't even sit down, and to prove Fang Yuan's words, I even used the rank 4 Gentleman Gu's Bamboo."

"Once I return, I will even spend a lot of money to hire a Divine Investigator, inviting Tie Leng Xue to investigate the matter."

"Regardless of whether Jia Jin Sheng lives or dies, as his brother I have done everything I should have done, my attitude shows everything!"

"I've thought about it before, we don't need a scapegoat. We will be back in this honest state, because I am innocent of this matter!"

"Finding the scapegoat, it might just be a trap by Jia Gui. If I can find the scapegoat, he can also find someone to undo the case."

His subordinate was startled and said, "Master, you really suspect that Master Jia Gui is behind this?"

"Hmph, who else besides him can do something so perfectly?"

Saying so, Jia Fu's face distorted, anger burst out from his eyes, "Before this, I thought about our blood relationship and didn't do such a thing to him."

"But since he is so cunning, I have to pay him back, don't blame me for being immoral!"

He did not know that far away in a distant place, there was a pair of eyes that sent him away.

Fang Yuan stood on the hillside while silently watching.

The view tonight is truly spectacular.

The golden yellow round moon was high in the night sky, shining so brightly that the entire earth was lit up brightly.

The nearby green mountains were green and lush, all kinds of flora grew.

Pine and fir trees, as well as the typical green spear bamboo of Qing Mao Mountain grow in continuous clumps, group by group.

A vast expanse of dark green flowed profusely from the top of the mountain and flowed down to the foot of the mountain.

The distant mountains stretched out endlessly, forming a thick black shadow that was chaotic under the moonlight.

The winding mountain roads resemble the intestines of a goat as it meanders into the distance, sometimes sheltered by forests, stretching along the way.

Jia Fu and his group sat atop the Treasure Brass Toad, following the mountain path as they moved forward.

As they continued on with the jumping frogs, their figures were finally covered by the trees.

Although the mountainous terrain was unable to affect the speed of the Treasure Brass Toad, Jia Fu did not dare to recklessly cut off Qing Mao Mountain.

Because if he barged into the monster horde, even with the cultivation of rank 4 he would still not come out unscathed.

Hence following the mountain trail and moving forward was the best path.

Not long ago, Fang Yuan was standing on a hill holding an umbrella, sending the caravan away. But now that he was here again, seeing Jia Fu leave.

"The matter of killing Jia Jin Sheng is finally resolved."

His eyes were dark and distant while his heart was calm, peaceful.

Even since he killed Jia Jin Sheng that night, he had been considering how to tie the loose ends.

But if he were to hide it blindly, the truth would definitely be revealed one day.

The smart way to lie is to have the truth and lies, some truth in the lie, and some lie in the truth.

He had to point his problem elsewhere!

It is like a chess game with two sides facing each other. One side was the Jia Fu caravan, while the other side was the Gu Yue clan.

In this incident, be it Gu Yue Bo, the academy elder or Jia Fu, they were all pawns, even Fang Yuan himself was merely pawns.

To protect a pawn representing itself, he must use two opposing sides and find opportunities in between.

A few days ago, Fang Yuan had already started planning.

He had first made use of those two guards to put on a good show with the academy elders in the academy.

Next he hid the existence of the Liquor Worm and aroused the curiosity of the clan members, gaining great attention, attracting the higher-ups.

Simultaneously, he allowed the academy elders to conduct a personal investigation.

Next, he blackmailed his classmates and revealed his carelessness, wildness, and displeasure towards the clan, 'showing weakness' to Gu Yue's superior.

Then he counted the days and waited for Jia Fu.

During the interrogation he shows his immaturity and fear, which allows him to lead the minds of others.

Letting them find the 'truth'.

Lastly he made use of the interests of the Gu Yue and Jia Fu clans, and turned the academy elder who was suspicious of him and held an investigation, into his eyewitness.

Bamboo Gentleman Gu was an unexpected little accident, but it was still Gu ranked 4 and under the aura of Spring Autumn Cicada, Bamboo Gentleman ironically became Fang Yuan's greatest proof.

Finally, Fang Yuan not only perfectly explained where he got the Liquor Worm, but also blamed the innocent Jia Gui.

While he himself came out of this incident without losing a single strand of hair.

"The academy chief was asked to stay, it seems Gu Yue Bo will interfere in the affairs of the academy and get rid of the plan to suppress me."

"By his nature, he does have this tolerance. But the original motive wasn't me, it probably should have been Fang Zheng."

"One of my motives for blowing up this matter was to cause a commotion and bring the boss' attention."

"If Gu Yue Bo did not appear, there would still be Gu Yue Mo Chen and Chi Lian who would come out to maintain their reputation."

"As for Jia Fu, he must be sure that Jia Gui is the culprit now. With the flames of vengeance burning in his chest, hehe, I look forward to it."

"With my intervention, the conflict between their brothers will escalate. I wonder if that Gu Master competition will be submitted?"

"Oh yes, there is still Divine Investigator Tie Leng Xue."

"Tie Leng Xue."

Fang Yuan repeated this name, and after half a beat, smiled lightly, "Among the Righteous Way, this person is indeed a character."

"Unfortunately he is preoccupied with official affairs and has a busy schedule. For this matter, it's not easy to make it come."

"Jia Fu wanted to show her attitude so she had to invite him, but the timing was hard to measure, at least it had to be arranged within 2 to 3 years."

In 2 to 3 years, he would have a cultivation of rank 2 or 3. At that time, life will be in a completely different view.

The night wind blew carrying the cool fresh mountain air, penetrating with a kind of fragrance.

Fang Yuan took a breath, feeling even more refreshed.

He looked into the distance, his field of view wide. The uncontrollable mountains were beautiful, looking calm and profitable under the moon.

"A bright moon shines among the pine trees, a clear spring flows over the rock."

Fang Yuan lightly read, he could not help but think of a verse from a fairy tale from Earth.

There's a bunch of monkeys chasing the moon. They saw the moon in the well, and they wanted to lure it.

The monkey from behind gripped the monkey tail in front of him, and the monkey previously gripped the monkey in front of him.

This goes on repeatedly until the first monkey can touch the surface of the well water.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, the water rippled and the moon disappeared.

People in this world are like this. They would look at the reflection of the moon, and think that it was the real thing.

Don't know it's just the moon in the well, the moon in their eyes, or just the moon in their hearts.

"In this life I hope to be the real moon, rising above mountains and skies, playing with clouds and seas, following ancient times and walking in darkness over the various heavens."

Fang Yuan's eyes were clear, and a beautiful green mountain range reflected on his pupils.

On top of the hill, the skinny body of a teenager stood still.

The golden moon wheel was shaped like a disk that hung high in the night sky.

It had been around since ancient times, walking across the night sky, casting the teenager's small shadow faintly onto the limestone.
