Discussion

A locust tree that stood with complicated branches and luxuriant leaves, its robust and spacious treetop that was like a jasper imperial canopy, enveloped the entire courtyard.

The moonlight was gentle like water, traveling through the leaves and branches of the locust tree, spilling into the courtyard.

A gust of wind blew over, sending the tree leaves rustling, the shadows of the tree swaying slightly.

It was under this tree that two people stood.

Gu Yue Bo used a gentle gaze and looked at Fang Zheng. "Fang Zheng, a couple of days ago you chose your second Gu, I wonder what it is?"

"Reporting to clan leader sir, today I chose a Bronze Skin Gu." Gu Yue Fang Zheng stood rigid, saying with a look of admiration.

Gu Yue Bo nodded, and after pondering he replied, "Not bad, it is a good choice."

Gu Yue Fang Zheng stood before Gu Yue Bo, his body tensed and tightened. Hearing Gu Yue Bo's praise, he did not know how to reply for a while, so in the end, he only laughed, "Clan leader, I chose randomly."

"You think I'm not serious in praising you? No." Gu Yue Bo stared at Fang Zheng, a smile on his face, "Do you know? From choosing a Gu, it shows a person's disposition."

"You chose the Bronze Skin Gu for defense. Paired with the Moonlight Gu, it is both offense and defense. This shows your pure nature. In this world, offense and defense are like frontal and ambush, yin and yang, soft and hard, this is the king's path."

"Gu Yue Mo Bei chose the Yellow Camel Longhorn Beetle, this Gu grants stamina and allows him to sustain battle. This shows his stubborn and strong attitude."

"As for Gu Yue Chi Cheng, he chose the Dragonpill cricket Gu, allowing him to increase his dodging ability. This shows he does not like frontal attacks, being a witty person, good at tactics, but also showed the weakness in his character."

Gu Yue Fang Zheng was stunned after listening, for he did not expect that such a simple matter could reveal that much information and logic. Consequently, his attitude towards Gu Yue Bo became even more respectful."Clan leader, what did my brother choose?"

Fang Zheng thought of Fang Yuan and immediately asked.

Gu Yue Bo laughed, "He didn't choose anything. The reason why because he already has the Gu he wants in mind and is already collecting them with the help of the Mo family, this shows he has goals, ambition, intelligence, and arrogance, this is the reason why he has chosen to marry Gu Yue Mo Yan to get help to further his cultivation, he understands that in this world that in order to get something he has to give something, he gave the Mo family a future rank 4 or 5 Gu master ally but what he got would be something he wouldn't be able to gain in the next 3 or 5 years." said Gu Yue Bo with mixed emotions

"What!, wait no big brother is likely to do that doesn't that mean he doesn't have to worry about resources and also gained a massive boost instead." Fang Zheng muttered bitterly.

Gu Yue Bo took Fang Zheng's expression into consideration and etched it into his mind.

Those who were rulers had their unique ability. Although Gu Yue Bo and Fang Zheng did not interact for long, Gu Yue Bo's experienced gaze had already seen through Fang Zheng.

Him telling Fang Zheng about Mo Bei and Chi Cheng's decisions had a deeper meaning. It was to help Fang Zheng analyze these two people, for he anticipated him defeating the two of them and establishing the role of clan leader with his A grade talent to further consolidate his confidence to face Fang Yuan. But Gu Yue Bo would not say it out loud, and would not instigate Fang Zheng's actions.

As the clan leader, his every word and action had political implications. If he directly controlled Fang Zheng and dealt with Chi Cheng and Mo Bei, if words spread it might be misunderstood as the clan leader's political assault. If that's the case, the implication would be huge and it might even cause a clan dispute, harming the entire village. There was another point - Gu Yue Bo was waiting for Fang Zheng to understand his intentions. He spent time and effort to nurture Fang Zheng, but it was not to nurture a Rank 4 or 5 fighter. A fighter without political knowledge was like a double edged sword. He needed the future leader for the clan!

"I analyzed Mo Bei and Chi Cheng's personality for Fang Zheng, but he did not notice my intention, instead jumping too far ahead and asking about Fang Yuan's situation. It seems that he has great trauma regarding Fang Yuan, it is understandable he has been suppressed his whole life even now but he has attained hope to break out of it with his newly gained talent, he is also at his rebellious stage. He wants to beat Fang Yuan, to be number 1 but is afraid.

Sigh, if only Fang Yuan had Fang Zheng's attitude and personality, I've seen many youngsters these years, but when it comes to political wits, Fang Yuan tops them all. It is a pity he has already chosen his path and won't be swayed" Gu Yue Bo sighed internally but his smile got even more gentle.

He took out a Gu worm from his pocket."This is, Jade Skin Gu?" Fang Zheng on seeing this Gu worm, said lightly with his eyes wide open.

Gu Yue Bo said, "Compared to the Bronze Skin Gu, this Jade Skin Gu is much better, not only using less primeval essence but also gives a greater defense. Fang Zheng, do you want it?"

"Clan leader!" Fang Zheng was shocked and he looked at Gu Yue Bo, stuttering, "I…, of course, I want it."
