However, the act of gifting a sword had caused everyone's hearts to suddenly become clear, and they understood all of Fang Xing's intentions.
Even the Head Deacon and the leader of the Heaven Hatred Clan wore a faint smile after a brief moment of astonishment. They exchanged glances with one another and felt relieved. As for the female childe, when she first saw the flying sword, her eyes flashed with greed. She naturally liked such a luxurious flying sword and felt that it matched her status very well. However, when she saw the gazes of the surrounding cultivators, she suddenly understood something.
There was a trace of anger on her face as she looked around instinctively. Luckily, the person she was concerned about was not around. However, her younger sister, who was sitting below her father, was already looking at her with a faint smile. This made the female childe even more furious. She knew that her younger sister would definitely go to that person and exaggerate the story. She was anxious and worried and her chest was heaving up and down.
"How dare you … You …"
The female childe was enraged. She opened her mouth to reprimand but suddenly did not know how to continue.
At this time, Fang Xing hadn't said anything yet. Although she could guess Fang Xing's intentions, she couldn't directly reprimand this wild monkey as a toad lusting after a swan's flesh. Moreover, she clearly noticed that her father's expression wasn't very good at this time.
"Qing 'er, Young Master Xing sincerely apologized to you. What are you doing now?"
The leader of the Heaven Hatred Clan suddenly spoke in a cold voice and reprimanded unhappily.
The female childe was anxious and angry. She stood up and pointed at Fang Xing, "Father, this person, he …"
The leader of the Heaven Hatred Clan said sternly, "You don't have to say anything more. The high priest has already told me about the misunderstanding between you two. This is not Young Master Xing's fault. Who told you, a lady, to disguise as a man? This misunderstanding is your fault. Moreover, you were so ruthless towards Young Master Xing. Wouldn't the reputation of the Heaven Hatred Clan be tarnished if the news got out? I wanted to punish you after the incident but now you are causing trouble again. Go back to your room now and you are not allowed to leave for three months. Otherwise, I will break your legs! "
He was actually going to confine the young lady, and it instantly angered her so much that smoke was coming out of her seven orifices. However, when she faced the cold and stern gaze of the Clan Leader, she did not dare to say anything. She stomped her feet hatefully, stood up, and walked out of the hall. Before she left, she glanced at Fang Xing again, and her dissatisfaction was even greater.
Fang Xing turned to look at the leader helplessly. He was still holding the flying sword in his hand and said shyly, "Leader, this …"
The leader of the Heaven Hatred Clan smiled bitterly, "My daughter is too spoiled and does not see the big picture. Young Master Xing, please excuse me!"
As he spoke, he ordered the maidservant to send Fang Xing's flying sword to the room of the female childe, Hen Tianqing. He then persuaded Fang Xing to sit down and continue drinking.
Fang Xing saw how the leader of the Heaven Hatred Clan was siding with him and knew that his offering of treasures was not in vain. He laughed coldly in his heart and turned back to continue drinking. He did not speak much but pricked up his ears to listen to the discussions of the crowd. In the Ultimate, he did not know anyone and had no one to rely on. Yet, he was provoked by Hen Tianqing and wanted to do something big, so he used all his means.
In the end, the treasures that Fang Xing offered, the mountain treasure and the spiritual essence were all returned to the Heaven Hatred Clan. The beautiful flying sword was replaced by Hen Tianqing's longsword. As for the other items, he kept them. There were quite a number of good things, especially the hundreds of supreme-grade spiritual stones and the hundreds of superior-grade spiritual stones. They were very tempting. After all, spiritual stones were scarce in the Ultimate and superior-grade spiritual stones were the best, not to mention supreme-grade spiritual stones.
Of course, even if Fang Xing kept so many treasures, the spiritual essence and the mountain treasure were enough to shock the cultivators. The leader of the Heaven Hatred Clan did not know what he was thinking but on the surface, he had already listed Fang Xing as one of the most respected people.
The banquet only ended late at night. On the surface, the guests and the host were happy. That night, Fang Xing slept in a room that was temporarily cleaned. Early the next morning, a servant girl came to help him freshen up. Then, the leader of the Heaven Hatred Clan personally came to fetch him. Under the witness of several important elders of the Heaven Hatred Clan, he paid respects to the portrait of the ancestor of the Heaven Hatred Clan and was officially a member of the Heaven Hatred Clan.
The Heaven Hatred Clan specially allocated a secluded valley for Fang Xing to live on the west side of the clan which had the best environment. They also sent four servants and two servant girls to take care of his daily life. The treatment he received was considered top-notch among the people of the Heaven Hatred Clan. In the period before he settled down, various elders and elders came to visit. Fang Xing politely accepted them, gave them spiritual stones and held a big banquet. He was not stingy at all.
After a month or two, he had formed a good relationship. Everyone would give a thumbs up at the mention of Honorable Xing.
Of course, whether or not they would call him a fool in private was not something that Fang Xing could care about at the moment.
In the beginning, there were people from the Heaven Hatred Clan secretly observing him. Although they thought that it was hidden, Fang Xing's senses, which almost exceeded that of a Golden Core cultivator, were exposed. Therefore, they deliberately put in enough effort. All the information that the leader of the Heaven Hatred Clan obtained showed that Honorable Xing Fang was a generous and honest person. He was also a person without scheming.
"Elder Yao, what do you think of the new Xing Fang's temperament?"
One day after a month, the leader of the Heaven Hatred Clan, Hen Tiancheng, discussed with the high priest about Fang Xing's character.
The high priest said, "I've been keeping an eye on him during this period of time. This person is not familiar with the rules of the Sinkhole, so he must have come from outside. Although he couldn't tell us when he first entered, we later speculated that he probably came in two years ago. Clan Leader, have you forgotten that we did divine that someone had entered the Sinkhole two years ago? However, when we sent people to search for him, we didn't find any traces of him. He must have come in back then, but he immediately found a place to go into seclusion, so he missed it! "
Hen Tiancheng said, "I've already sent people to the place he mentioned. There are indeed traces of someone living there. What he said should be true. Moreover, he has been treating people with sincerity for the past two months. He doesn't look like he's an ambitious person …"
The high priest smiled and said, "According to the Heaven Hatred Clan's tradition, new people who enter the Ultimate will be investigated for a year after it is verified that they are from outside the Ultimate. Then, they will be given a marriage and allowed to have children in the Ultimate. Only after having children can they be considered to have settled down in the Heaven Hatred Clan. This has always been the case, and he is no exception. Moreover, he is young and full of vigor. I think this can be carried out in advance. Even if it is for that red dragon of his, we have to let him marry in the Heaven Hatred Clan as soon as possible and settle down!"
Hen Tiancheng smiled bitterly, "I understand. If he doesn't marry and have children in the Heaven Hating Clan, he won't be considered to be part of the Heaven Hating Clan. I don't feel at ease using him. Actually, when he was appointed as the Heaven Hating Clan's High Deacon, I had already planned to choose a daughter from the main bloodline as his wife. I just didn't expect him to fall for Qing 'er.
The high priest was slightly startled and said, "Why is that? Qing 'er has not married yet, nor is there any engagement. Although this person is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, how old is he? His future is probably extraordinary. In addition, he has the red dragon as his servant. Although he is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, how can a Jindan be compared to him? I think with his conditions, it is not impossible to appoint Qing 'er to him! "
Hen Tiancheng smiled bitterly, "That is true, but don't you know Qing 'er's temper? She and Ning 'er are wholeheartedly devoted to the Young Master. During this period, I have forbidden Qing' er from going out. Xing Fang is also infatuated. He has sent people to send gifts of Spiritual Stones over and over again, but Qing 'er threw them all out. I am worried to see this. How can I help the two of them form an alliance? "
The high priest was slightly startled and thought for a moment, then said, "Clan Leader, there is something that I should say to you. The Young Master is young, but he is powerful. In addition, his background is mysterious and his methods are brilliant. Not long after he came to the clan, he already has the power to overturn the clouds and rain. It is not a good thing to let such a person go. With our status, it is not easy to suppress him. Why not let another person come out and split the power equally? That would be better to balance the situation. Moreover … the Young Master is only one person. Do you really want him to marry both of your daughters?"
When Hen Tiancheng heard this, he was speechless. After a while, he said, "In his dreams!"
Fang Xing naturally did not know that his deliberate act of disgust towards Hen Tianqing had caused the Heaven Hatred Clan Leader and the High Priest to have thoughts of him. During this period of time, he had been welcoming and sending people off with a carefree look on his face. However, he had also learned a great deal about the Sinkhole and the Heaven Hatred Clan's secrets through his false pretense. Finally, he had a detailed understanding of the Sinkhole in his heart and felt greatly reassured.
At this moment, in his courtyard in the secluded valley, the Red Dragon was sleeping soundly in a pool outside the courtyard. Fang Xing was holding a paper order in his hand. He lowered his head and pondered. This order was sent by the Managing Elder of the Heaven Hatred Clan. On it was his orders.
After the high priests joined the Heaven Hatred Clan, they did not live for free. They had to take on various duties, be it alchemy, forging weapons, or making talismans. It was determined by their expertise. However, Fang Xing did not know any of these things. Hence, he had very few choices. Fortunately, the Managing Elder was a good person. After receiving ten pieces of Highest Grade Spiritual Stones from him, he did not force Fang Xing to do certain tasks. Instead, he arranged two paths for Fang Xing to choose. One was to hunt beasts, and the other was to search for veins.
"Based on what they said, the so-called beast hunting isn't hunting, but hunting and killing fierce beasts to take their bones, fur, beast crystals, and other things as resources, and it's the most dangerous work. But if I choose to hunt beasts, then with Da Gouzi following me, it would be much safer, and it's simply extremely easy. But I entered this place to search for the Dao Scripture after all, and it seems to be better to search for the Vein …"
The more he thought about it, the more he felt a headache. He could not help but sigh, "According to what that Lian girl said, if I do not find the Scriptures of Dao, I should not casually form my Gold Core. If I stay in this godforsaken place, I will not be able to show my talents until I become a Gold Core cultivator. Even with Da Gouzi's strength, it is not enough for me to go anywhere. How can I do anything interesting? If I get into trouble, it will be hard to escape! "
He thought to himself and finally made a decision, "According to this group of bastards, there is a secret place in the depths of the Ultimate. It is deep and mysterious, dangerous and unpredictable. The Seeking Dragon Clan has been working hard for thousands of years, but they have never succeeded in entering. It seems that if there is a Scripture of Dao left behind by the Taishang orthodoxy, it is most likely there. In this case, I have no other choice but to choose the vein-searching team. That Lian girl has no reason to trap me into a place where I cannot get out. Maybe the Scriptures of Dao and the way to leave the Ultimate are hidden there …"
