"But why is she here? Also, why is she called Zhang Xin Ci? In my memories, she is a Gu Master, why do others say she has no cultivation talent, and is just a mortal? "
Fang Yuan was puzzled.
"Is she not Shang Xin Ci, and only looks like her? This is too similar! No, wait … "
Fang Yuan's thoughts churned, as he suddenly dug out even older information from the depths of his memories.
"This Shang Xin Ci had a rough life. She is the illegitimate child of Shang clan leader when he was young, traveling outside. She grew up without a father, and was bullied. After her mother died, her life became even more difficult. Forced by her clansmen, she could only follow a caravan to trade. But when she arrived at Shang clan city, her bloodline was sensed by Shang clan leader. Shang clan leader was overjoyed, and acknowledged her in front of everyone, feeling indebted to her. Thus, even if she made many mistakes in the future, he would cover up for her. "
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan's eyes shone brightly.
"So that's it, I understand now!"
Combining the current world and the remnant clues in his memories, Fang Yuan deduced the truth.
Many years ago, when Shang clan leader was still a young master, he left behind a bloodline in Zhang clan, it was Shang Xin Ci.
Shang clan and Zhang clan had been on bad terms since ancient times.
After Shang Xin Ci was born, her mother did not reveal the identity of Shang clan leader due to various considerations. Thus, Shang Xin Ci was born as a shameful illegitimate child, and followed her mother's surname.
This was also why she was still called Zhang Xin Ci now.
After her mother died, she was forced by her clansmen to go out to trade. But when she came to Shang clan city, her bloodline was discovered. Her father also became the Shang clan leader, he had a high status and authority. When he recognized her in front of everyone, her fate changed drastically.
"That is to say, my caravan is the first caravan she went out to trade with!"
After realizing this, Fang Yuan's heart thumped.
After all, this Shang Xin Ci had great potential, she was the future Shang clan leader. If this was spread, the whole world would not believe it.
Of course, the future could be changed.
Even according to his previous life's trajectory, when she became clan leader, the world would change, and the powerful Shang clan would be in ruins.
To Fang Yuan, when she became the Shang clan leader, she would not be able to do anything. Heh, this investment period is really too long, and there is no return.
Her value was not shown when she was the clan leader, but when she was recognized by the Shang clan leader and became one of the young masters of Shang clan.
As the young master, she had to be responsible for a part of the business. This was also the tradition of Shang clan to nurture their successors.
This was exactly what Fang Yuan needed.
He needed to dispose of the stolen goods.
A stable, good, and safe channel to dispose of stolen goods.
This was essential in his grand plan of rebirth.
In the future, he would definitely open more secret inheritances. There were many things that could not be used. As long as they were traded, they would be able to display their great value.
For example, the bone spear Gu and spiral bone spear Gu in Bai Ning Bing's aperture.
Of these Gu, one was enough for Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing. At most, they would keep one as a backup. If the others were not sold, they could only rot in one's hands, and one would even have to spend a lot of milk to raise them.
Previously, Fang Yuan had planned to use that Jia Jin Sheng as a temporary channel to dispose of stolen goods. Then, it would be best if he could form a relationship with Jia Fu and nurture this channel.
In the end, fate made a fool out of him. In order to receive the secret of the Flower Wine Monk's inheritance, he had no choice but to kill Jia Jin Sheng.
"This is a gift sent to me by the heavens!" Fang Yuan sighed in his heart, looking at the distant Shang Xin Ci, his eyes shining brightly.
Shang clan had a strong background. At least before the storm of change that engulfed the southern border, they were one of the overlords of the southern border. Even if he sold stolen goods to them, the victims would not dare to find trouble with them.
But precisely because they were too strong, Fang Yuan was worried that they would commit treachery.
Don't look at the righteous path. Shang clan people's hearts were all black, this was too normal.
But Shang Xin Ci was definitely not like that.
She had gone through a hundred years of history, and was tested by the changes. Her kindness, gentleness, benevolence, and honesty were well spread throughout the southern border in Fang Yuan's previous life.
And most importantly, she had no foundation.
Different from the other young masters, after she came to Shang clan city, she was completely alone. In the future, she made many mistakes. It was not that she was not smart, but because the other young masters, for the sake of the clan leader position, secretly made things difficult for her, and suppressed their competitors.
Fang Yuan needed her channels, and if she wanted to live a better life in the future, she also needed Fang Yuan as external help.
Most importantly, she was easy to control and influence! Her youth and personality were all 'weaknesses' in Fang Yuan's eyes.
"Hehehe." Bai Ning Bing suddenly laughed: "Don't tell me you like her?"
"What?" Fang Yuan's thoughts paused.
"Don't pretend, we are both men, I can tell from your eyes. Speaking of which, this girl is quite pleasing to the eye. But if you want to get her, it will be hard. Unless I help you find a chance to secretly kidnap her. In exchange, you have to give me that Yang Gu first. "Bai Ning Bing said enticingly.
But Fang Yuan's next sentence angered her: "You are a man?"
"You!"
This was a little troublesome.
Fang Yuan first had to get close to Shang Xin Ci, then gain her trust. But time was limited, he had to settle everything before she reached Shang clan city.
Bai Ning Bing's idea of kidnapping people was too bad, the risk was too high, it would only make things worse.
Fang Yuan knew one thing, Shang Xin Ci was deceived not because she was stupid, but because she was too kind.
In his previous life, there was a demonic cultivator, known as' Night Gentleman ', an expert at stealing and cunning like a fox.
He used the same reason to deceive Shang Xin Ci many times.
One time, he could not help but ask: "I keep telling you this, aren't you afraid I am lying?"
Shang Xin Ci said: "You said you have a cash flow problem, if you don't borrow some Yuan stone, your family will starve to death. I know there is a high chance you are lying to me, but every time you say it, I can't help but think, what if you are telling the truth this time? If I don't pay first, a few lives will be lost. Although this possibility is low, I don't want to bet on this. "
Night Gentleman heard this, tears flowed down his face, deeply moved by Shang Xin Ci's charisma, immediately kneeling on the ground.
From then on, he turned over a new leaf, following Shang Xin Ci with unwavering loyalty, making many contributions.
The sun was slowly swallowed by the mountains in the west, as night fell.
The long line of people also thinned.
In the end, the servants received their food and slowly dispersed.
"Alright, that's all for today. I'll come back tomorrow … "Before she could finish, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
What kind of face was this!
No eyebrows, they were all burnt, only a bit of hair was left, and one ear was missing. Who else could it be but Fang Yuan?
Shang Xin Ci was truly shocked, and the servant girl behind her even screamed.
"What are you doing?!" That tall and sturdy old Gu Master immediately shouted.
"Lady Zhang, do a good deed and buy my goods!" Fang Yuan ignored the old Gu Master, shouting at Shang Xin Ci.
Bai Ning Bing silently stood at a distance, watching Fang Yuan's performance with interest.
"I still have one last steamed biscuit, take it." Shang Xin Ci had a gentle smile on her face, she did not have any disgust towards Fang Yuan, only sympathy. Looking at his injuries, his past must have been very painful.
Sigh, he is also a pitiful person.
Fang Yuan took the steamed biscuit, but threw it on the ground: "I don't eat this, I want to sell it! I sold my family's old house to buy this cart of purple maple leaves. But I can't sell it, the leaves are about to wither, what's the point of living?! Sob sob sob … if I can't sell it, I don't want to live anymore, I'll just kill myself! "
As he spoke, he started crying loudly. He stomped his feet and howled, his expression was extremely agitated, with a trace of madness.
Bai Ning Bing was dumbfounded.
"Such acting skills, I really can't compare!"
If she did not know Fang Yuan's background, she might have been deceived by Fang Yuan.
She looked at the expressions and gazes of the people around her, there was indeed a lot of shock, disdain, sympathy, indifference, but there was no suspicion.
"Who is this person, rushing over so quickly, scaring me!"
"So greedy, he actually wants Lady Zhang to buy his goods."
"This kind of person deserves it, does he really think business is so easy?"
"Sigh, he must have been pressured. Back then, I encountered it too … "
The crowd discussed fervently.
"Hey, you madman, you dare to scare my lady, get lost!" The old Gu Master's words were like thunder, he took a step forward and protected Shang Xin Ci behind him.
"Lady Zhang, if you don't buy my goods, I don't want to live anymore! Lady Zhang, you are a good person, please buy this cart of goods and save me. "Fang Yuan cried non-stop.
Shang Xin Ci's heart softened: "Sigh, don't cry. I will buy it, life is the most precious thing, you need to live well from now on, don't commit suicide. Uncle Zhang Zhu, give him three pieces of Yuan stone. "
"Lady …" The old Gu Master's brows furrowed.
"F * * k, this works too?!"
"Otherwise, why would I cause such a ruckus?"
The group of peddlers were extremely excited.
"Thank you, Lady Zhang. Lady Zhang, you are my, Hei Tu's, savior! "Fang Yuan was wild with joy, his face was covered in tears as he bowed continuously.
The old Gu Master's eyelids twitched, looking at the cart behind Fang Yuan: "This cart of purple maple leaves is at most worth two Yuan stone. Three is too much! "
"Uncle Zhang Zhu …" Shang Xin Ci's voice was soft.
The old Gu Master sighed deeply: "Lady, it is not that I am unwilling to part with three Yuan stone. But to a mere servant like him, it is still too much. It will attract covetous eyes and schemes. Lady, for his safety, two Yuan stone is just right. Moreover, if you give it like this, I'm afraid all the peddlers will come tomorrow. "
"Uncle Zhang Zhu is right, then give me two Yuan stone." Shang Xin Ci thought for a while and readily agreed.
