Guyue Mo Chen's heart was heavy.
He had originally wanted to recruit Fang Yuan, but because of his aptitude, he gave up.
Now, his old rival Guyue Lian had actually hooked up with Fang Yuan. There were even signs that Chi Lian had started investing in Fang Yuan over a year ago.
Now, his investment had paid off and the Chi faction had gained a new elder. How could his heart not be heavy?
Apart from being heavy, Mo Chen also had some doubts.
He was Guyue Lian's old rival. They had been competing against each other since they were young. He knew Guyue so well that he even knew what color underwear Guyue liked to wear.
Logically speaking, Guyue Lian should have been gloating and looking at Mo Chen with disdain and pride. But looking at him now, his face was gloomy, as though he had suffered some sort of loss.
This was too strange!
What happened between him and Fang Yuan? What kind of agreement did they make?
Guyue Mo Chen couldn't figure it out.
"This Fang Yuan is too daring. He actually dares to threaten me!" Guyue Lian was filled with anger and doubt.
Last night, Fang Yuan had secretly found him and threatened him with "Guyue Cheng faking his aptitude."
Heavens!
Only he, Guyue Lian, and his grandson, Chicheng, knew about this. How did an outsider like Fang Yuan know about this?!
Guyue Cheng was only a C grade aptitude, but for the benefit of the Chi faction, Chi Lian had to take the risk and create the illusion that he was B grade aptitude.
If this matter was revealed. It would be an unprecedented blow to the Chi faction. The head of the Chi faction had broken his promise and personally cheated. This would be a complete loss of reputation. More importantly, the Chi faction's successor was only C grade aptitude. This meant that the Chi faction had almost no political future. Who would be stupid enough to rely on a faction like this?
Fang Yuan grasping this secret was equivalent to grasping the entire Chi faction's weakness.
When he was threatened by Fang Yuan, Guyue almost couldn't help but kill him!
But he forced himself to hold back. Because he didn't know who else knew this secret, who Fang Yuan had told, and what kind of letters and other evidence were left somewhere.
"Calm him down first, figure out the situation, and then deal with him! I can't let this scourge live! "That was what he thought at that time.
But soon after, Fang Yuan revealed his rank three cultivation.
Surprised and bewildered, Chicheng could only change his idea to compromise.
Rank three was already an elder, they wanted to kill the elder. The seriousness of this matter was no different from cheating.
Moreover, to deal with a Rank three Gu Master, he could not be dealt with in a short period of time. The bigger the commotion, the harder it would be to deal with.
Falling out with Fang Yuan. There was no benefit to the Chi Bloodline, and the risk was even greater.
"Although Fang Yuan has something on me, knowing the same secret is also a form of alliance." In the end, Chi Lian could only console himself hypocritically. Fang Yuan's threat came suddenly, and he didn't know how many tricks Fang Yuan had up his sleeves, so he could only accept it.
Now. Fang Yuan fearlessly dragged him out, attracting the firepower for Fang Yuan. This was simply putting him, Gu Yue Chi Lian, on fire to roast!
But even if Guyue Lian knew this, what could he do?
At this time. He heard Fang Yuan say slowly, "Guyue Yao Ji, I know you are feeling unbalanced. Yes, that granddaughter of yours with B grade aptitude is dead. She died without a complete corpse, and your medicine branch has no successor. But I, a C grade aptitude kid, managed to advance to the third rank. You are angry and uncomfortable, so you want to vent your anger on me, I can understand. "
"What did you say?!" Guyue Yao Ji stared with his eyes wide open, unable to restrain his anger, "Little thing, I am telling you Guyue Yao Le is not dead."
Fang Yuan laughed, shrugging his shoulders indifferently, "What does her death have to do with me? Yao Ji, you don't have to emphasize it so much. "
"But!" He suddenly changed the topic, "You, Guyue Yao Ji, in order to search for your granddaughter, you gathered people and wasted a lot of manpower and resources. This has something to do with me, with all the clan elders here, and with lord clan leader. Guyue Yao Ji, letting you lead the medicine hall is because everyone trusts you. But what did you do? You sent all the healing Gu Masters of the medicine hall out to search for your granddaughter. You ignored those injured Gu Masters and our clansmen. You are too selfish! Yao Le's sacrifice is indeed the clan's loss. But you made the loss even greater, you are not fit to be the clan elder of this medicine hall!! "
Fang Yuan's words pierced the heart, each word exposing Yao Ji's reverse scale and scars.
But what he said was indeed reasonable.
Hearing Fang Yuan's words, many clan elders secretly frowned.
Which clan did not have injured Gu Masters? Guyue Yao Ji's actions were indeed a little overboard, transferring healing Gu Masters on her own and ignoring the proper business to search for her own granddaughter.
"You … you!" Guyue Yao Ji trembled in anger, pointing at Fang Yuan, unable to speak for a moment. Her eyes seemed to be spewing fire, wishing she could strangle this hateful Fang Yuan to death on the spot.
Fang Yuan's gaze was cold, meeting her gaze without fear.
He was giving her a taste of her own medicine. Guyue Yao Ji's words just now were filled with righteousness, arousing the curiosity of many clan elders towards the secret of Fang Yuan's advancement. Fang Yuan's words were the same, every word was reasonable, standing on the highest point of the clan's rules, causing many clan elders to subconsciously defend it.
To the clan elders, upholding the clan's rules was protecting their own interests.
Guyue Yao Ji's actions these few days had indeed infringed on their interests!
"This Fang Yuan … bastard! Truly a bastard! "Guyue Yao Ji trembled in anger, not knowing that Guyue Lian was also fuming with anger.
Fang Yuan had offended Guyue Yao Ji to death, Fang Yuan was hated by Yao Ji, and the Chi faction that Fang Yuan 'joined' would probably also be angered by Yao Ji.
But in fact, his Chi faction was really innocent!
Was he, Guyue Lian an idiot? Why would he offend Guyue Yao Ji, who had the most connections and seniority, for no reason?
Guyue Lian subconsciously shrunk his body, praying in his heart: I hope the other clan elders don't shift their attention to me. Fang Yuan's actions were his own idea, it had nothing to do with his Chi faction!
But Fang Yuan's next words completely shattered Chi Lian's fantasy into countless pieces.
He suddenly turned around and reported to clan leader Guyue Bo, "Lord clan leader, I deeply doubt whether Guyue Yao Ji has the ability to continue managing the medicine hall. I suggest temporarily revoking her position as the medicine hall clan elder. At the same time, we can inspect her again. Every healing Gu Master in the clan is precious. We cannot let her squander them like this. Otherwise, the ones who will suffer are the Gu Masters who shed blood for the clan, brave and brave! "
After a pause, he continued, "Elder Chi Lian is also in favor of my suggestion."
"What?!" Guyue Yao Ji's pupils shrunk, her expression changing.
"What?!" The clan elders were shocked. Guyue Lian's attitude was so clear, did it mean that he was already dissatisfied with Yao Ji? He had long coveted the huge benefits in her hands. Wanted to get involved?
"What?!" As the person involved, Guyue Lian almost jumped up from his seat.
How could he not be furious?
He was about to go crazy from anger because of Fang Yuan!
This Fang Yuan not only offended Guyue Yao Ji, he even dragged him, Guyue Lian, into the water.
His political attitude towards the medicine faction was to be close and cooperate. But now, his long term efforts were ruined by Fang Yuan's one sentence!
Fang Yuan was clearly framing and framing him. Framing and spreading rumors in front of the person involved!
But he, Guyue Lian, was the grand Chi faction leader. He was caught by this scoundrel Fang Yuan, but he could do nothing about it!!
"Oh. Elder Chi Lian, you also have this attitude? "Guyue Bo's gaze flashed. He asked.
Guyue Lian gritted his teeth and slowly stood up.
He stiffened his neck, refusing to look at Fang Yuan. He was afraid he could not control his anger.
At this point, he had no way to deal with Fang Yuan and could only grit his teeth and admit it.
"Revoking Yao Ji's position was Fang Yuan's personal intention. The wolf tide is near, suddenly changing her is not appropriate. But I truly believe that Lord Yao Ji, because of her personal feelings, used the healing Gu Master's strength excessively. If this strength was used where it should be used, it would reduce the clan's losses. "
As he said this, he felt his heart bleeding.
Of course, he would not go along with Fang Yuan's words, because he had his own interests to seek. In these words, he had already tried his best to find a balance between Fang Yuan and Yao Ji.
But even so, just as he finished speaking, he heard a puff.
He turned his head and saw Gu Yue Yao Ji spitting out a mouthful of blood due to her extreme anger, then falling backwards.
It's over!
"I have offended Yao Ji!" At this moment, Guyue Lian felt like he had fallen into an ice cave, his heart turning cold.
"Lord Yao Ji!"
"Someone, quickly take a look at her."
"She has fainted, don't worry. Lord Yao Ji has not rested for three days and three nights, she is exhausted and needs to rest. "
The hall was bustling for a while before quieting down.
Guyue Yao Ji was carried away on a stretcher.
She was old, and after training for so many days, she was mentally exhausted. Moreover, she was provoked by Fang Yuan and Chi Lian together, adding insult to injury, it would be strange if she did not faint.
"Lord Yao Ji has been managing the medicine hall for so many years, she is too tired. Actually, letting her rest and recuperate is for her own good. Lord Yao Ji is unconscious, the medicine hall cannot go a day without someone managing it. I suggest that Fang Yuan take over. "Guyue Lian suddenly said.
This old man stood in front of his seat, watching Guyue Yao Ji being carried out, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Since he had already offended them, then he would thoroughly offend them and make the best of it! In order to prevent the medicine hall from retaliating, he might as well directly suppress them. This was the awareness and experience of a politician in a high position!
The hall fell into a short silence.
Yao Le's death and Yao Ji's collapse indicated that the medicine hall's decline was inevitable. The cruelty of politics was sometimes even more heartless than a wolf tide.
Fang Yuan was also silent.
Letting him take the position of medicine hall elder, haha, Guyue Lian was just casually saying it.
Letting a newly promoted young elder take such an important position. Unless the brains of the other clan elders and the clan leader were fried.
Guyue Lian deliberately said this, of course he had a deeper meaning.
As expected, at the next moment, Guyue Bo said: "The position of medicine hall will be temporarily held by elder Chi Zhong. Fang Yuan's cultivation is true, he has indeed reached rank three, according to the clan rules, he will be promoted to the position of clan elder. Spread this news, let the entire village celebrate. "
Finishing, Guyue Bo stood up, flicked his sleeves and left.
"Congratulations, congratulations …" After the clan leader left, the group of clan elders walked to Fang Yuan and cupped their hands, all of them smiling.
Fang Yuan also cupped his fists, welcoming them with a smile. (To be continued …)
