"Elder Fang Yuan, is it true that you killed Old Man Wang's entire family?" On the main seat, Guyue Bo asked in a deep voice.
Everyone's gazes were focused on Fang Yuan. The young elder laughed coldly, "It is indeed true."
Guyue Fangzheng closed his eyes with a heavy heart.
Although he killed many lightning wolves, he had never killed anyone. When he heard Fang Yuan admit it, he suddenly felt that his own brother was so unfamiliar and distant.
This kind of distance was mixed with the fear of his ruthless methods, and also the anger of being implicated by the innocent.
"Fang Yuan, don't you feel any guilt for killing innocent people like this? Maybe you have some difficulties, you can say it out. "Tie Ruo Nan frowned. She, who was filled with righteousness, hated people like Fang Yuan the most.
"So what if I killed them. I don't need to tell you my story. But I didn't know that the missing Wang Er was a demonic Gu Master. I also didn't know that Fangzheng would be implicated, "Fang Yuan said honestly.
"Brother, are you not going to say anything to me?" Fangzheng opened his eyes, his eyes red.
"What do you want me to say? Words of consolation or words of apology … hmph, little brother, you are still too inexperienced. "Fang Yuan laughed coldly.
"Damn it, brother … don't think you are so great just because you advanced to clan elder. Let me tell you, I already have the qualifications to breakthrough to Rank three …" Fangzheng gritted his teeth, his fists clenched so hard that veins popped out.
"Enough!" Guyue Bo couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "Fangzheng, step down. What kind of propriety is it to make such a big fuss here?"
His words had a hidden meaning, hiding his dissatisfaction. Tie Ruo Nan couldn't sense it, but Divine Investigator Tie Xue Leng reacted immediately. He took a step forward and cupped his fists, "Clan leader Guyue and clan elders, my daughter barged into your clan's discussion hall, it is indeed inappropriate. I apologize for offending all of you! "
The clan elders hurriedly stood up and said that they didn't dare.
Guyue Bo's expression softened.
Tie Xue Leng continued, "However, this little brother Fang Yuan, because he is involved in Jia Jin Sheng's case, he is still a suspect. I hope that he can stay in the stronghold and try not to go to the outer stronghold. "
Guyue Bo rubbed his temples and sighed, "We, the Guyue Clan, also hope to give Lord Jia Fu an explanation. Since this is what the Divine Arrester wants, Elder Fang Yuan will have to suffer a little before he is cleared of suspicion. I hope you can understand. "
Guyue Bo looked at Fang Yuan. His expression was sincere, but his gaze was deep.
Although Fang Yuan killed Old Man Wang's family, they were only mortals. What was wrong with a Gu Master killing mortals? Especially when this Gu Master was a clan elder. Thus, there was no punishment.
"Yes." Fang Yuan looked at Guyue Bo and replied expressionlessly.
…
"Damn it, it's like this again!" Tie Ruo Nan punched the tree trunk, causing the leaves to fall.
She was furious and gritted her teeth, "He clearly killed someone, but he turned a blind eye to it and didn't say anything. Father, are you saying that mortals aren't humans? Why do Gu Masters feel that killing mortals is a matter of course? "
Tie Xue Leng was silent like a statue at the side.
The weather was gloomy and the wind blew, causing the leaves in the forest to rustle.
Tie Ruo Nan suddenly lowered her head, her expression dejected, "I'm sorry, father."
She apologized, "I didn't listen to your instructions and used the Intuition Gu."
"Sigh …" The Divine Arrester heaved a long sigh, his deep gaze falling on the young girl, "Child, you hate evil so much and have a strong sense of justice, just like me when I was young. As a father, I feel gratified but also worried. "
"Worried about what?"
"Your ambition is even greater than mine. When I was young, my ambition was to capture all the criminals in the world and fill up the Demon Suppression Tower. But you, you want to make everyone equal, to make Gu Masters and mortals alike, to make law and reason spread throughout the world. This kind of ambition and ideal is too big and too heavy. "Tie Xue Leng's words were filled with vicissitudes of life.
"But father, the so-called law, justice and justice, if we don't treat everyone equally, then what is the meaning of justice and law? How could a young man be considered a young man if he didn't have some arrogant ideals? I believe in human effort. As long as I work hard, I might be able to achieve it! "Tie Ruo Nan's tone was agitated, her eyes filled with longing.
Tie Xue Leng was silent for a while before saying, "One day, you will understand, Ruo Nan. But that's good, young people should walk their own path. Setbacks will lead to maturity. Father is old, I won't interfere with you anymore. I only hope you can live the life you want! "
Saying so, he took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Tie Ruo Nan.
"This is —?!" Tie Ruo Nan opened the letter and was immediately overjoyed.
This letter was Jia Fu's reply, it recorded all the information regarding Jia Jin Sheng's case, including Fang Yuan's stone gambling, possessing the Liquor worm, how he used the Bamboo Gentleman Gu to interrogate Fang Yuan, and even the second time Fang Yuan made a bid, the talent he displayed during the transaction, and the fact that he was recruited by Jia Fu.
Tie Ruo Nan read the contents of "Fang Yuan's bid" three times, her eyes shining brightly.
"This Fang Yuan is not only ruthless and cruel, he is also intelligent and scheming. My intuition tells me that he is very suspicious. If he really is the murderer, then he is really terrifying. His lies did not cause the Bamboo Gentleman Gu's expression to change. What kind of method is this? "Tie Ruo Nan muttered to herself.
"What are you going to do next?" Tie Xue Leng asked.
"Jia Jin Sheng's case has happened a long time ago, it is full of mysteries and mysteries. Up until now, Jia Jin Sheng's corpse has not appeared, and we can't even deduce the crime scene. This case is too clean, I don't know where to start. There is only one prime suspect, Fang Yuan. Even though Wang Er's clues are cut off, and there is no evidence to prove that he is the murderer. But without any other targets, I can only rely on my intuition to investigate this Fang Yuan! "Tie Ruo Nan replied energetically.
"You feel that there is something suspicious about Fang Yuan?" Tie Xue Leng asked.
"There are many suspicious points!" Tie Ruo Nan immediately said, "This Fang Yuan clearly only has C grade aptitude, why is his cultivation speed faster than Fangzheng's? Although he has the help of the Liquor worm and the Relic Gu, this speed is still too fast. Guyue tribe might not have sensed anything wrong, but bystanders can see more clearly. This is one of the suspicious points. "
"Other than this, there is another suspicious point. That is his luck. He gambled on rocks for the first time in his life, buying six purple gold rocks and getting two live Gu at once. One is the Mudskin Toad, the other is the Liquor worm. Isn't his luck a little too good? "
Tie Xue Leng nodded, "Yes, continue."
"This Fang Yuan looks ordinary, but if you look deeper, you will find that he is as mysterious as the thick fog in the mountains. Many things that he accidentally reveals will make people ponder over it for a long time. For example, his stone-dissecting technique. He actually used the Moonlight Gu to dissect the rock, and did not damage the core of the rock. It's really unimaginable for a student to have such fine control … Wait a minute! "
Tie Ruo Nan paused. At this moment, she discovered something, and her eyes shone brightly, becoming as sharp as an eagle's!
Her gaze focused on a line of words in the letter, and after staring at it for a long time, her eyes became brighter and brighter.
"I found a flaw. This Fang Yuan is very suspicious! "After a while, she suddenly raised her head and shouted excitedly.
…
The fragrance of the tea in the cup rose along with the steam, spreading throughout the study.
Fang Yuan calmly lifted the teacup, blowing on the floating tea leaves, and drank a mouthful of hot tea, before leisurely letting out a breath.
Looking at the leisurely Fang Yuan in front of him, Guyue Mo Chen painstakingly endured, feeling the veins on his forehead throbbing.
Previously, when Fang Yuan asked for an exorbitant price, he was so angry that he chased Fang Yuan out on the spot.
But today, he had no choice but to invite Fang Yuan over again.
This was because the situation was stronger than the person. The medicine faction was pressuring him everywhere, and the fact that he had fallen to Rank two would be exposed sooner or later. The Mo faction was in a precarious situation, and urgently needed an elder to act as a son-in-law. Stabilizing the hearts of the people was the same as stabilizing their own position.
"But this little bastard Fang Yuan is too despicable, asking for such an exorbitant price. Does he really think that the Mo faction is making money every day?" Guyue Mo Chen fiercely cursed in his heart, while putting on a warm smile on his face, speaking in a negotiating tone, "Elder Fang Yuan, your price is too ruthless, it greatly exceeds the bottom line of the Mo faction. Can't you lower it a little more? "
Fang Yuan glanced at Guyue Mo Chen. This old man in front of him knew when to yield and when to stand tall, he was worthy of admiration.
Actually, his current situation was getting worse.
The Tie family father and daughter were forcing him into a desperate situation. Once they found out that he was Jia Jin Sheng's murderer, Guyue tribe would definitely hand him over to appease the Jia family's anger, and at the same time, exchange for the Jia family's annual trade.
The time was almost ripe, and Fang Yuan's tone loosened, "Then I'll lower it by another thirty percent. But there is a condition, you need to pay forty thousand Yuan stone in advance, and you also need a Pig Iron Gu and a Past Life Grass Gu. Only then can you show your sincerity. "
Guyue Mo Chen heard this, and couldn't help but rub his brows, saying in a deep voice, "I can give you the Pig Iron Gu first, but my Mo faction really doesn't have the Past Life Grass Gu. We can't take out all forty thousand Yuan stone in one go, so we can only give it to you in installments. "
Fang Yuan knew that Guyue Mo Chen, this old fox, wasn't telling the truth, but he also understood that if he continued to be overbearing, it would instead produce the opposite of what he wanted.
"Alright. Wait until you fulfill these first, then we can talk about the marriage. Before that, I will make a statement in the council meeting. "Fang Yuan left after leaving these words.
The study room fell into silence.
After a while, Guyue Mo Chen suddenly spoke, "Come out."
The secret door was pushed open, and a young girl with red eyes from crying walked out.
"Grandpa." She bowed, it was Guyue Mo Yan.
Guyue Mo Chen heaved a long sigh, "You are quite clear about the clan's situation. Mo Yan, the clan needs your sacrifice, can you understand?"
"Yes." The young girl choked with sobs, lowering her head.
No matter which world, there was no free lunch. Even Fang Yuan, as a clan elder, had contributed a lot to the clan. It was just that the specific amount of effort and gain varied from person to person.
As for these youngsters who were born with a golden spoon in their mouths, they similarly didn't have free rights. To enjoy the clan's nurturing, they had to have the awareness of sacrifice.
And this awareness, Guyue Mo Yan had long ago.
