"What? Father, you want me to solve the case?" The young girl pointed at herself, her face full of shock.
"What, you're not willing?" Tie Xue Leng smiled.
"I'm willing, of course I'm willing!" Tie Ruo Nan reacted and said excitedly.
Tie Xue Leng nodded and sighed. His tone was complicated, "You are determined to walk the same path as me. These past few years, you have been by my side and have been influenced by many things. Only when a young eagle flies independently can it truly grow up. Father is already old, this injury cannot be healed. I can't accompany you for the rest of your life. A new generation replaces the old, the rest is up to you. "
"Father … … don't be discouraged. Isn't there still hope for a cure?" The young girl's voice trembled as she sobbed.
"You and I both know how slim this hope is. People need to learn to recognize reality, Ruo Nan. " Tie Xue Leng smiled and turned to face Guyue Bo, "Guyue clan leader, rest assured. My daughter has already learned seventy to eighty percent of my skills. With my guidance, I will not let your clan suffer any injustice."
"You're too kind." Guyue Bo quickly cupped his hands, "Young heroines are not inferior to men. They are heroic and are also the descendants of heroes. How can I not be assured? Please come to the village and let the two of you wash away the dust. "
… …
The dishes were laid out on the table. The fragrance of the wine filled the air as it formed a line in the wine jar and poured into Tie Xue Leng's cup.
The wolf tide had just passed and Guyue's village had entered its most difficult period. A large amount of resources had been consumed, resulting in a shortage of food and resources. There were even mortals who starved to death.
But even so. In order to receive Tie Xue Leng, Guyue's clan still put together this banquet.
As the clan leader, Guyue Bo sat on the main seat with Tie Xue Leng and the young girl Tie Ruo Nan beside him.
In addition, there were Guyue Zhong, Guyue Ge Yan, Guyue Lian, Guyue Yao Ji, as well as Fang Yuan and the others. They were all clan elders.
Before the Wolf Tide, the Guyue Clan had dozens of elders. But now, only this table was left, and there weren't even ten people left.
Not only that, all the elders present were injured.
This was especially true for Guyue Lian, who was seriously injured in the resistance battle two weeks ago and had been hiding in a secret room to recuperate. He was originally lying on the bed. But when he heard that Tie Xue Leng was coming, he forced himself to stay strong. To attend this banquet.
However, this allowed him to escape a calamity. Meanwhile, his old rival, Guyue Mo Chen, had followed the chief to hunt down the Thunder Crown Wolf, but had been killed by the Lightning Lycan.
"If it wasn't for Brother Tie's help today, I'm afraid I would have become the Lightning Lycan's meal. Guyue Bo stood up, held the cup with both hands, and slightly bowed as he sincerely expressed his gratitude.
"I did what I could." Tie Xue Leng raised his glass. He took a sip of wine.
He was strict by nature and did not gamble or whore. Restrain oneself, and never drink too much. Because of this, he never got drunk.
Guyue Bo drank the wine and looked around at the people in the banquet. His eyes were red as he sighed and slowly sat down.
Tie Xue Leng had seen this kind of situation many times, and comforted him, "Chief Guyue, please don't be sad. As long as the people are still here, the mountain stronghold will prosper again. Furthermore, the Lightning Lycan is also injured, and the Lightning Wolf pack is also greatly depleted. In the next few years, they probably won't attack again. This time, the wolf tide has passed. "
The worst period of the wolf tide had indeed passed. In the next few months, although there would still be Lightning Wolves appearing, their numbers would become fewer and fewer, and would not form a large scale. The wolf pack would no longer have the power to directly attack the mountain stronghold.
The Lightning Lycan would return to the wolf's den and recuperate there, slowly reorganizing the remaining wolves. Many Lightning Wolves would be summoned back, and the death of a large number of Lightning Wolves would greatly reduce the wolf pack's need for food.
The wolf pack could once again be self-sufficient. In the next few years, the Lightning Wolf pack would gradually grow, and during this time, there would be new Hundred Beast King Bold Lightning Wolf, Thousand Beast King Frenzy Lightning Wolf and Myriad Beast King Thunder Crown Wolf.
Prosperity leads to decline, decline leads to prosperity.
Be it humans or wolf packs, they all followed this law of change.
Although the young girl's words were correct, humans were not plants, how could they be emotionless? Chief Guyue knew this truth better than Tie Ruo Nan, but the pain and sorrow in his heart could not be avoided.
The sacrifice was too great …
Just the higher ups of the clan had lost more than half. The Rank two and Rank one Gu Masters had even more casualties. The entire Guyue mountain stronghold's strength was at rock bottom, and could not withstand any more disturbances.
"Why didn't you all counterattack, and directly destroy the wolf's den?" At the side, Tie Ruo Nan did not understand and asked in confusion.
"That is because there are over ten thunder qi worms living in the wolf's den, numbering close to a million. There are also large numbers of wild Gu mixed in. It is hard to do anything unless the three clans join forces. "Guyue Yao Ji opened her mouth and explained.
As she said this, she suddenly snorted, casting a sinister gaze towards Fang Yuan: "But this possibility is too small. Even in our Guyue clan, there are clan elders who shrink back at the last moment, and when the wolf tide attacked, who knows where they hid!"
Hearing this, the other clan elders could not help but shift their gazes towards Fang Yuan.
Earlier, Fang Yuan had been exploring the Flower Wine Hidden Treasure in the rock crack's secret cave, causing him to miss the battle against the wolf tide. In everyone's eyes, this was a sign of being crafty and being a coward.
Thus, the clan elders looked at Fang Yuan with dissatisfaction, disdain, and a faint anger.
Even Guyue Bo's expression was not good.
As the clan leader, he hated people like Fang Yuan the most, who did things his own way, was mysterious, had his own plans, and did not let people feel at ease using him.
The atmosphere at the table suddenly changed.
The Tie father and daughter also felt this change, and followed everyone's gaze, looking at Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan's youthful appearance had already attracted the attention of Tie Ruo Nan as a peer.
Fang Yuan calmly drank his wine. Even though everyone's gazes were focused on him, he did not seem to notice.
His expression was indifferent, as he had already expected this situation.
"This matter is troublesome." He sighed in his heart. Although he was worried, he was not panicking.
Tie Xue Leng's appearance had seriously ruined his escape plan. If he took the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Lotus and destroyed the foundation of Guyue's mountain stronghold, this would definitely cause the Tie father and daughter to capture him.
The name of Divine Investigator was not just a rumor. With his current methods and strength, as long as Tie Xue Leng started to pursue him, there was absolutely no possibility of failure.
Even if he did not take the Heavenly Yuan Treasure Lotus, his mysterious disappearance would still be investigated by the clan. Because it involved Jia Jin Sheng's death, he would be investigated by the Tie father and daughter.
If he left without saying goodbye, in their eyes, it would be a guilty conscience, fleeing to avoid punishment.
Without any other choice, Fang Yuan could only choose to stay and observe the situation.
Although he was blamed by everyone, this was not the worst situation. If he left directly, he would be messing up the situation and messing up the situation.
"Is the wine good?" Guyue Yao Ji laughed sinisterly, looking straight at Fang Yuan, "Are you not going to explain?"
Fang Yuan slowly put down the wine cup, looking up at Guyue Yao Ji's broken arm.
It was said that the older one was, the wiser one was.
In order to save her life, Guyue Yao Ji cut off her own arm, using injury as an excuse to escape the clan's mission.
This had happened in Fang Yuan's previous life, who would have thought that Guyue Yao Ji would do the same in this life.
Her abandonment of the rook to save the king was indeed effective. To prevent being killed by the Thunder Crown Wolf, she did not participate in the pursuit, so her life was saved. She was now making things difficult for herself, partly because of old grievances, but mostly because she wanted to burn the fire on Fang Yuan, to reduce the attention of others.
"What do you want me to explain? Explain that you cut off your own arm in order to drag out an ignoble existence? "Fang Yuan sneered.
"What?!" Guyue Yao Ji was shocked and angry, suddenly standing up from her seat.
She opened her eyes wide, pointed at Fang Yuan's nose, and screamed, "You little bastard! You dare to bite me, slander me, and frame me!! How can you be so despicable? How did our Guyue Clan produce such a thing like you? "
"Guyue Yao Ji!" Guyue Bo's expression changed, and he shouted, "Sit down, we have an important guest here, where is the propriety of yelling?"
Gu Yue Yao Ji wanted to continue scolding, but seeing the Gu Yue clan leader's gloomy expression, she could only swallow her words back into her stomach.
She angrily glared at Fang Yuan, and angrily sat down.
After Guyue Bo dealt with Yao Ji, he shifted his gaze to Fang Yuan, "Elder Fang Yuan, I need an explanation. When the wolf tide attacked the village, where did you go? "
"Fang Yuan … he is Fang Yuan?" Tie Xue Leng's eyes flashed with a strange light. In Jia Jin Sheng's mysterious disappearance, Fang Yuan played an extremely important role. Before Tie Xue Leng came here, he naturally received a lot of information about Jia Fu. But he did not expect that this young Elder was Fang Yuan.
All of a sudden, Tie Xue Leng's interest was aroused.
He had solved countless cases and was able to deduce the truth from the clues he had left behind. Looking at everyone's reaction, he guessed that Fang Yuan had retreated at the last minute.
However, the facts that people know are often superficial. What is the truth?
No matter what the truth was, Fang Yuan's answer would reveal a corner of his heart. This would be very helpful in solving the next case.
Feeling Tie Xue Leng's attention, Fang Yuan's heart tightened, but his expression did not change.
He lightly swept his gaze over everyone, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips, "There is nothing to explain. But since you've asked, I'll just say it directly. I was very scared at that time, and the pressure that had been accumulating for a long time, as well as the fear of death, had reached its limit. I could not bear it, so I was cowardly and hid in a corner, not daring to go to the front lines. "
When these words came out, everyone was stunned.
They had been waiting for Fang Yuan's excuse and reason, and had already prepared how to expose Fang Yuan and expose Fang Yuan. They never thought that Fang Yuan would directly admit it!
"Any lie, as long as it is not the truth, will have flaws. Moreover, Tie Xue Leng is here … "Fang Yuan's expression was calm as he lowered his eyes and stared at the wine cup in front of him.
Tie Xue Leng's eyes flashed with a strange light. He subconsciously frowned, and a sense of disgust rose in his heart.
