Chapter 69: Unstable Situation Of The Xu Clan
Bai Yao had wanted to use the Gu hand to push him.
But when their lips touched, that electric shock assaulted her, and she could not help but fall back down.
Anyway, they had kissed for so long…
There was nothing wrong with another kiss…
Half a day later, Fang Yuan left the Scarlet Flame Mystic Realm alone.
There was no need to explore the depths.
He did not have the strength or energy to do so.
There were not many talismans on him anymore.
Other than the Heaven Suppression talisman and the divine escape talisman, most of the other talismans had already been used up in the ruins.
It was time to return to the sect.
On the way back, Bai Yao’s face often appeared in Fang Yuan’s mind.
He had thought it through during this period of time.
Although Bai Yao appeared to be frivolous, in reality, she was someone who had never experienced anything between a man and a woman.
He just had to treat her like a girl.
It was just that she had gained a new cultivation base and was a little arrogant.
After all, her status in the Gu Demon Sect was not low, and it was understandable for her to be pampered all year round.
Even though her methods were terrifying, she was not a bad person. She was not a bloodthirsty person.
Hmm?
Wait…
Why was he talking about Bai Yao’s good points?
He could not help but sigh in his heart. Beauty was indeed a hindrance to one’s cultivation.
Fang Yuan focused on calming his mind, getting rid of distracting thoughts.
Cultivation!
Cultivation was what he loved the most!
Women would only affect the speed at which he cultivated Gu!
But after this dual cultivation, he had accumulated a large amount of Yin-Yang Qi in his body.
During the time he spent searching for a way out of the ruins, he had used most of it to nurture his Gu worms, and the results were obvious.
Although they had not broken through to rank four yet, their overall cultivation progress had already increased by a lot.
He had also secretly taken back the Soul Capture Gu from Bai Yao’s side, and its cultivation efficiency was close to zero, so he could only wait and find another opportunity to refine a Gu slave.
Other than that, the Sunlight Gu made him feel extremely comfortable.
It actually used the Yang Qi in Fang Yuan’s body as its main cultivation resource, so there was no need to worry about it.
More importantly, it could help Fang Yuan produce more Yang Qi, and then its own cultivation efficiency would increase further.
This was repeated endlessly, and it was simply an existence that violated the law of conservation of energy.
Unfortunately, the Sunlight Gu was still very weak. It was still in its larval stage, only at rank one strength.
It did not even have any skills.
Nourishing Yang Qi was only its attribute’s effect.
Fang Yuan could not help but look forward to it. He had already gathered two of the three talented Gu.
He still needed the last Starlight Gu to merge them into one and upgrade them to a higher quality.
Who knows, it might become his second Gold quality Gu worm.
Or perhaps Platinum?
Anything was possible.
As he traveled quickly, Fang Yuan finally arrived at Fanshu City before dark.
He planned to rest here for the night and return to the sect by horse carriage tomorrow.
Since he had arrived here, he did not need to rest anywhere else and went straight to the Xu Manor.
As a guardian, there was naturally a place for him to stay in the manor.
However, when he arrived at the Xu Manor, he discovered that it was heavily guarded, both within the gates and outside, surrounding it tightly. It could be said that the posts were all three steps away from each other.
Before he reached the entrance, he was stopped by them half a street away.
“Stop! Outsiders are not allowed to enter the Xu Manor’s territory!”
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice, “I am Fang Yuan, the Xu family’s guardian. What happened here?”
“Guardian? Do you have any proof?” The soldier did not answer but asked a question instead.
Fang Yuan used his mind to search through his storage space. Only then did he realize that when he became the Xu family’s guardian, it was a spur-of-the-moment idea. He did not have anything to prove his identity.
Seeing that he had searched for a long time without taking out anything, the other party immediately waved his hand impatiently.
“If you don’t have anything, then hurry up and leave! This is not a place for you to stay!”
Fang Yuan was silent. He turned around and left.
There was no need for him to get into a conflict with the Xu family.
He would first go to the city to gather information and think of a way to contact Vice City Lord Xu or Xu Zhiyu.
After all, he had taken so many of their resources. When it was time to help, he still had to help.
The fastest way to get information was to go to the local tavern.
There were all kinds of people there.
With just one gold coin, those local ruffians and hooligans who roamed around the city every day would follow your lead and tell you everything they knew.
“Hey, sir, please come in, what would you like to drink?”
Fang Yuan was dressed in a black robe, he threw a small spirit stone in the waiter’s hand and found a window seat in the corner.
“So you are a Lord Gu master. Our shop has a good ten year wine, I will take it out for you to taste.”
The waiter was shocked, and even his voice became respectful. “If there is anything else you need, just mention it, I will serve you alone today.”
Fang Yuan was like a spring breeze, wasn’t this waiter too good at kissing his shoes?
But thinking about it carefully, he felt relieved.
Although this world was full of people refining Gu, not everyone had the aptitude to refine Gu. It was just that the threshold was relatively low, so anyone could try it.
Those who had no hope of breaking through to the Qi Refinement Realm all year round could only return to the secular world and do some ordinary business to maintain their livelihood.
Although they had a bit of cultivation and knew a little about using Gu, compared to a real Gu master, they were not just a bit inferior.
Whether it was the secular world or the sects and empires, there was a saying.
If one did not enter Enlightenment Realm, one would not become a Gu master.
It meant that if one did not reach the Enlightenment Realm, one would not become a real Gu master.
This was the consensus.
The waiter was also someone who had cultivated before, and had interacted with people all year round. Seeing that Fang Yuan’s temperament was extraordinary, he naturally would not look down on him.
“There is no need for anything else, I am here to gather some information.” Fang Yuan said lightly.
“Lord Gu master, please ask away, I will tell you everything I know.”
“What happened to Xu Manor recently? Why are there so many people guarding it?”
“Are you asking about Vice City Lord Xu’s clan?”
“That’s right.”
“Then… you are here to… seek revenge?” The waiter asked carefully.
Fang Yuan raised his brows, “What do you mean?”
The waiter immediately had a plan in mind. Knowing that Fang Yuan was only asking for information, he began to explain.
“This matter has to start from the last time when the guardians rebelled in front of Xu Manor and tried to devour the master.”
“In that battle, Xu Manor’s nineteen guardians were all killed by a young man. The news spread, and even the capital was shaken.”
“But the life and death of a Gu master is not punishable by murder, so no one was sent to investigate this matter.”
“But those guardians’ families din’t think so.”
“All of a sudden, their close friends and relatives died without any explanation, so no one would be happy about it.”
“Thus, they signed a petition, asking for an explanation from Vice City Lord Xu.”
“Vice City Lord Xu did not even meet them, so they went to the dark and hired assassins to force him to reveal the killer’s identity in public.”
Speaking up to this point, Fang Yuan almost understood what was going on.
To put it bluntly, it was just that those family members whose Gu master had died wanted to seek revenge on him, but Vice City Lord Xu blocked the attack.
“He is truly courting death.”
Fang Yuan snorted coldly.
He was not afraid of these secular Gu masters.
Even if Vice City Lord Xu told them his identity, what could these people do?
Could they kill their way into the Gu Immortal Sect?
Although it did not affect him, Fang Yuan still remembered the kindness of Vice City Lord Xu.
“I’ll help him get rid of the trouble before leaving, half a day is enough.”
Fang Yuan’s mind sank, and he had an idea..
