Fang Yuan Do's

CHAPTER 9 - Two People Who Start on the Same Path, Gradually Become Away

Sunset is a red hue that sets in the west.

The sky was still bright, but everything seemed to be shrouded in gray.

Facing the window, the mountains in the distance slowly turned a pitch-black color.

The light in the living room is dim. Aunts and Uncles sat in their seats, their faces shrouded in shadows, their expressions hard to see.

As he watched Fang Yuan carry 2 wine jars, his Uncle Gu Yue Dong Tu's brows furrowed.

He opened his mouth and spoke, "In the blink of an eye, you two are already 15 years old now. Since you two have the talent of a Gu Master, especially Fang Zheng, your aunt and I are proud of you both."

"I'll give you both 6 pieces of primeval stone, take it. Refining Gu You spend a lot of primeval essence, so you need this primeval stone."

As he said this, several maids came and gave each of them a small bag to Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng.

Fang Yuan took his bag silently.

Fang Zheng immediately opened his bag and looked inside to see 6 oval-shaped primal stones in grayish-white.

Her face beamed with gratitude and she stood up from her chair, facing her aunt and uncle.

"Thank you Aunt and Uncle, your nephew does need a primeval stone to replenish the primeval essence!"

"The two of you have raised me to this day, this gratitude is engraved in my heart, I will not forget it forever!"

Uncle smiled and nodded.

Aunty hurriedly waved her hand and said warmly, "Sit down, sit down! Even though the two of you are not our biological children, we have always raised you as our son."

"You two can have a future, and we're proud of that."

"Unfortunately we don't have children of our own, and sometimes we think that if the two of you can really be our children, it would be for the best."

His words carry deep meaning. Fang Zheng did not understand it, but Fang Yuan frowned slightly.

The uncle cut in and said, "I've talked about this with your aunt. We are thinking of adopting the two of you and becoming a true family. Fang Zheng, I wonder if you are willing?"

Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment, but the look on his face quickly brought up a joyful smile and he said, "To be honest, since both of my parents died, I have missed my own family so much."

"To be able to be 1 family with Aunt and Uncle, this is too good to be true!"

Aunt's expression loosened and she laughed, "Then, you are our good son, shouldn't you stop calling us Aunts and Uncles?"

"Dad, Mother." Fang Zheng was in a conscious state changing his statement.

My aunt and uncle laughed.

"What a good boy, it's not in vain that we raised you since you were 5 years old. And we've been raising you for 10 whole years." Aunt wiped her tears.

Uncle looked at the quiet Fang Yuan and said softly, "Fang Yuan, what about you?"

Fang Yuan shook his head without saying a word.

"Sister." Gu Yue Fang Zheng was about to advise him, but Uncle, whose tone had not changed, stopped him.

"If that's the case, Fang Yuan is my nephew, we won't force you."

"Since you are already 15 years old, you should start to be independent, this way you will also easily continue your Fang bloodline."

"Uncle here has prepared 200 primeval stones for you as financial support."

"200 primal stones!"

Fang Zheng's eyes were wide open, he had never seen so many primeval stones in his life. He could not help but reveal a jealous expression.

But Fang Yuan still shook his head.

Fang Zheng was puzzled, while Uncle's expression changed slightly. Aunt's face also turned dark.

"Auntie and uncle. If there's nothing else, then your niece will go."

Fang Yuan did not give them a chance to speak anymore. After finishing his sentence, he picked up his wine jar and immediately left the hall.

Fang Zheng got up from his seat and said, "Dad, Mother. Big brother is not thinking clearly, how about you let me advise him?"

Uncle waved his hand and deliberately sighed, "Oh, this matter cannot be forced. Since you have a heart, as your father I've been very satisfied."

"Servant, take care of young Master Fang Zheng, treat him well."

"Then your son will go." Fang Zheng retreated, and the living room became quiet.

The sun set beneath the mountain, and the living room became darker. Moments from the darkness, Uncle's cold voice appeared.

"It looks like this Fang Yuan brat has seen our plot."

Among the rules of the Gu Yue clan, it was clearly established that the oldest boy at 16 would have the qualifications to inherit the family treasure.

Fang Yuan's parents had died, leaving behind a lot of money. It was being 'taken care of' by Aunt and Uncle.

This legacy was not something that could be compared to the minuscule number of 200 primeval stones.

If Fang Yuan also agreed to be adopted by Aunt and Uncle, then he would lose the right to inherit this fortune.

If Fang Yuan at the age of 15 decided to become independent, he would also not abide by the rules of the clan.

"Luckily we managed to win Fang Zheng, and Fang Yuan only had C-class talent." Uncle sighed, feeling happy.

"Then my husband, if Fang Yuan decides to become independent at the age of 16, what should we do?" Aunt's tone was hysterical as she thought about the inheritance.

"Hmph, since he's acting undisciplined, then he can't blame us."

"As long as we catch him committing a grave mistake before he leaves us and takes him out of our family, it will be considered as seizing his right to inherit the inheritance." Uncle explained coldly.

"But the boy was so smart, how could he make a mistake?" Aunt asked, confused.

Uncle immediately rolled his eyes and whispered angrily, "You are really stupid! If he doesn't make a mistake, can't we just trap him?"

"Just let Shen Cui seduce Fang Yuan, we catch him on the spot, fabricate a story about him acting wild while he was drunk.

Surely we can kick Fang Yuan out, right?"

"The husband really has a way, a very clever plan!" Aunt was very happy at the time.

The thick color of the night covered the sky, and the stars that enveloped the sky were mostly covered by floating dark clouds.

Gu Yue Fang Zheng was ushered into a room.

"Young master Fang Zheng, the old master personally told me to tidy up this room specifically for you."

Mother Shen said in a friendly tone. He bent his waist, his face had a flattering smile.

Fang Zheng looked around with a glance, his eyes shining.

This room is at least 2x larger than the previous room.

In the middle of the room was a spacious bed, next to the window was a wooden table from rosewood with a fine set of ink and paper.

The walls were decorated with exquisite ornaments, and under his feet there was no ordinary floor, but it was covered in a layer of soft handmade carpets.

From childhood until now, Fang Zheng had never lived in such a room.

She immediately nodded her head continuously and said, "This is very good, this is really not bad, thank you Mother Shen."

Mother Shen was the person that Aunt and Uncle valued the most, she was in charge of all the servants in the house and housekeepers who lived up to her reputation.

Shen Cui who served Fang Yuan was his daughter.

Mother Shen laughed, "I don't deserve the young master's gratitude, this is my duty! Young master, feel free to eat well and sleep well."

"Whatever you want, just shake the bell next to your bed, someone will serve you soon."

"Old master has instructed us, so in these few days please give all your attention to cultivation, Young master. Just leave all the other tasks to us."

Fang Zheng felt a burst of gratitude in his heart.

He did not say anything, but deep down he decided, this time he should get the number 1 and not disappoint Aunt and Uncle!

The dark clouds in the sky were getting thicker, and the night was getting darker.

In the night sky most of the stars were covered in clouds, leaving some stars that shone with a dim light, flickering in the sky.

'Auntie and Uncle must be planning a way to get me out of the house right now.'

'In my previous life, they secretly incited the servants to provoke me, and then trapped me. Then they got me out of the family.'

'I wonder if there will be any changes in this life.'

Fang Yuan sneered in his heart as he walked along the road.

He had long since clearly seen the true colors of his Aunt and Uncle. But he can understand it too.

People will waste their lives in pursuit of wealth.

No matter whether on Earth or in this world, there will always be many people who are willing to trample on kinship, friendship and love for their own interests and benefits.

In fact, the relationship does not exist. At first when Auntie and Uncle received Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng, their only goal was to steal the inheritance.

Just for the two brothers to repeatedly be unexpected.

'Everything is hard before it becomes easy. For me, this is more than the case. First I don't have extraordinary talent, second I don't have the care of a teacher.'

'This is equivalent to raising a family from scratch, but with my parents' legacy, it could be said to be a huge advantage for me.'

'In my previous life Aunty and Uncle stole the inheritance, and therefore I had to waste a full 2 years to be able to cultivate to rank 1 peak stage.'

'In this life I can't afford to make the same mistake.'

Fang Yuan pondered in his mind as he walked.

Instead of staying at home, he held 2 wine jars and walked towards the outskirts of the village.

The night deepened and the dark clouds obscured the starlight, the mountain breeze blew, getting stronger gradually.

The mountain rain is coming. But he still had to search, to get his parents' inheritance, he had to wait until he was 16.

And the Flower Wine Monk's treasure was the only thing he could obtain in the short term.

There are not many people on the streets. The houses along the street showed a dim light. Some small trash and leaves were washed away by the wind.

Fang Yuan's thin clothes could not stop the mountain breeze, and he could not help but feel a chill.

He just opened the wine jar, drank a small sip of wine. Although it was murky wine, but after swallowing it he felt a warm feeling appear.

This was the first time he had actually drunk wine in these few days.

The further he walked out of the village, the fewer houses beside the road, and the dimmer the lights. In front of him it was even darker.

The wind blew fiercely into the mountain forest, the branches swaying at night, making whistling sounds that sounded like swarms of roaring beasts.

Fang Yuan's speed did not slow down.

He walked out of the large village entrance and out into the darkness, going further as he walked.

And behind him were bright and brilliant lights from thousands of homes. In these lights there is a warm angle.

Fang Zheng was sitting at his desk, reviewing the notes he had written during class.

The lights inside the house shone brightly, the sturdy walls blocked the cold wind.

Next to his hand was a cup of warm ginseng tea, the steam billowing from the cup.

"Young master Fang Zheng, hot bath water has been prepared for you."

Outside the door, Shen Cui's voice sounded soft.

Fang Zheng's heart flinched.

"Then please bring it."

Shen Cui walked into the room with his waist down, his expression delighted.

"Your servant greets the young master."

His eyes glanced at Fang Zheng lovingly.

Fang Yuan was only a C grade talent, but Fang Zheng was an A grade talent!

To be able to serve him, was truly the greatest wealth!
