11 A gift from the night

Fang Yuan sent his senses into Moonlight Gu to find out.

Does the Qi that this Gu absorbs remain and transform Moonlight Gu into another Gu on a micro level or is it just something like single-use that only increases Moonblade's power output.

Fang Yuan found the answer, there was no Yin Qi and Cold Qi left in the Moonlight Gu. The Qi was carried away when the Moonblade was launched, resulting in a Moonblade with Yin Qi and Cold Qi properties.

Fang Yuan got enlightened because of this. When he was a mortal, not a Gu Master yet, he felt that he could become an overpowering being with his understanding, about how the world is working and all his memories about novels and mangas, he still had from the earth.

But it was all destroyed now, he realized that he was only a small fish in this Gu world.

'At first I thought I was above everyone in this world because of my knowledge of science, but now ... I realize that what I have is not an intuition of every path, but an application of laws from the earth to the laws of this world Gu.'

In a way, Fang Yuan previously stood on a cliff with a river below it, because he was outside the river he could see more clearly the state of the river, but when he dived into it, he realized its naivety.

'At first I thought I was a spectator in this world, then after realizing that what I had was the False-attainment level, then I knew that I was a clown who dreamed of being a spectator. But look now, rather than a clown, I am more accurately described as the entire circus itself. Ha ha ha...'

'What a naïve person am I? Full for himself! "Fang Yuan sighed, a regret rose in his heart.

Because he didn't want to change the future too much, he tried to imitate the demon Fang Yuan, suppressed his emotions and had little contact with other people before the aperture awakening ceremony except for his brother, but because of that he also started to lose himself.

'I thought that I could become like the demon Fang Yuan, because I could trick the people around me, but in reality I tricked myself and left reality. Good thing I realized this earlier, if I didn't realize this, who knows what disaster I created because of my naivety about this?'

Know yourself and know your opponent, then you will never be defeated !

It was a good thing for Fang Yuan, if he still acted as Fang Yuan, but forgetting who he was himself, was a bad thing.  From the start he had already lost before the battle began.

Fang Yuan wanted to continue this enlightenment, but he noticed Fang Zheng's presence in his room.

After saving Small Qi Gu and Moonlight Gu, Fang Yuan turned around with both hands on his back. He displayed an aura of coldness and dominance. It was as if the cold and the darkness of the night were absorbed by him.

Fang Yuan realized that he had made a mistake, that he was experimenting in front of others. At first he thought that it was only Shen Cui, then he could finish her off without a problem, but now Fang Zheng saw it too.

If this was a demon Fang Yuan, then this mistake would not have happened, in the end Fang Yuan was not a demon who had lived for 500 years, he would be complacent because of the opportunity to learn about Gu worms.

Fang Zheng was still immersed in the sight he saw, he had thought that his brother changed after that incident, when Fang Yuan lost his memory, but because Fang Zheng was always around Fang Yuan he unconsciously ignored it.

But a feeling would produce a hunch, when Fang Zheng saw Fang Yuan earlier, he realized that heaven was not a stingy thing, heaven did not give himself an A grade aperture and forgot about Fang Yuan.

Perhaps it was because of his jealousy that Fang Zheng chose to forget his hunches, from the beginning when Fang Yuan lost his memory, he looked like a baby didn't understand the words of adults, but at the same time he was paying close attention to the people around him, studying them.

This is the most precious thing in this world, Wisdom. Fang Zheng, who was jealous of this, chose to take it as a matter of course, if he admitted this, wouldn't he hurt himself?

He only had Fang Yuan to share this feeling of being bullied, if Fang Yuan suddenly got a gift from heaven, wouldn't it be only himself who had nothing?

That's why Fang Zheng chose to ignore this, time went by and he had A grade talent, he began to see the world from a different perspective, he thought that he was more superirential towards Fang Yuan, he did it unconsciously to get rid of the accumulated envy.

But now that Fang Zheng knew the truth, he had been deceiving himself all this time.

Shen Cui, who saw Fang Zheng enter the room at first did not realize this, even the sound of the door slamming by Fang Zheng was not heard by him, she at that time only had one goal. It was Fang Yuan, but when she saw Fang Yuan doing his experiments under the moonlight, it made Shen Cui fascinated by Fang Yuan, this was the first time that she felt it. 

'Beautiful!' thought Shen Cui.

Time passed and finally Shen Cui realized Fang Zheng was standing by her side, she immediately realized the reality. She chose to use this opportunity to gain Fang Zheng's support, she hugged Fang Zheng's right arm and pressed it against her chest.

But Fang Zheng did not really care about it, the sight he saw, also stole his thoughts.

The three people in Fang Yuan's room had now returned to the reality of their respective thoughts.

Fang Yuan who was still expressionless looked at Fang Zheng and Shen Cui.

Fang Zheng, who just realized that Shen Cui was now hugging him, was restless, an embarrassment rose inside him.

'How stupid am I? I nearly left the only family I have for this?!' Fang Zheng looked at Shen Cui who was trying to seduce Fang Zheng with her body, 'But it's still not too late, fortunately I realized this sluts attitude earlier, otherwise maybe I'll lose my big brother.'

On the ground floor, Dong Tu was also rethinking his plans.

He had given up on what was going to happen, but she realized a big mistake in his plans - No, in his life!

'At first I thought heaven only sided with Fang Zheng, he got A grade talent while his brother went crazy when he was five years old.' Dong Tu thought that heaven took Fang Yuan's share and gave it to Fang Zheng, 'But that was the wrong thing from the beginning. Fang Yuan is not left behind by heaven, he is actually the one who got the greatest gift from heaven!'

Humans grow from infancy to adulthood, after experiencing this they will gain experience and knowledge.

But especially for babies, they are given everything they need, so they don't understand how the world works.

'Fang Yuan lost his memory and returned to a state like a baby, he watched his surroundings, he did not get love from his parents, he was subjected to harsh treatment from this world, this also tempered him, making him a more mature person than children the same age as him. Hah….. How unlucky am I !' Dong Tu sighed at the end.

Dong Tu chose to bother Fang Yuan as part of his plan, because of the time pressure, he couldn't think calmly and clearly, he made a mistake at that time.

He chose to sacrifice Fang Yuan to get Fang Zheng. At first Dong Tu thought Fang Yuan was harmless and useless, but he now realized his mistake.

"At first I thought I went into the hole of a mouse, who knows that the owner of this hole turns out to be a very poisonous and clever snake, that uses a mouse's nest as a place to live."

Dong Tu regretted what he had done, but he didn't drag on in this regret.

Dong Tu had to solve this problem, he didn't know what Fang Yuan was going to do, he felt that Fang Yuan was wrapping around his neck as a poisonous snake.

No one knows when this snake will attack Dong Tu, if possible he wants to escape this threat. If it can't be removed, then the only way is to kill this snake.

Dong Tu recalled his first mistake in responding to Fang Yuan. That was when he made a bet with it.

Fang Yuan created a condition where he became a filth for Dong Tu's good name.

He felt that Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng were a threat, if he wanted to live without a burden, he had to get rid of the twins. If one of them succeeded in becoming a Gu Master and taking the inheritance mission, it would be a big loss for Dong Tu.

Even if they didn't succeed, they should at least still be Dong Tu's responsibility to some extent and this would be troublesome, why should he look after mere mortals?

Then one night Fang Yuan came to him, Fang Yuan had carefully prepared this stage, he guided Dong Tu so that this situation could happen.

Fang Yuan proposed for a bet, it said he would leave the house, even he would leave Qing Mao Mountain.

Hearing these words Dong Tu became happy, but he didn't show Fang Yuan his pleasure, he still thought Fang Yuan was an idiot, if he saw him feeling happy maybe Fang Yuan would feel something wrong was happening.

This is a chance given to heaven, Dong Tu thought. He thought of how to get rid of these twins if they failed, if Fang Yuan came out then in the end Fang Zheng would also come with him, this is a good opportunity thought Dong Tu.

But something strange happened, Fang Yuan asked Dong Tu to write this agreement onto a piece of cloth so that Dong Tu couldn't break his promise. Dong Tu didn't think too much about it at the time, so he agreed.

How many people managed to raise their aperture?

Judging from the history of the Gu Yue clan, almost 70% of every participant who participated had failed, if Fang Yuan failed, that would only make sense. After all, if he succeeded, Dong Tu would only lose 100 primeval stones and a Rank 1 Gu.

In the end this was all just a game running on Fang Yuan's palm.

Dong Tu shook his head, he finally understood why Fang Yuan was so brave at that time.

This evening, many people learned valuable lessons.

Fang Yuan realized how deep this Gu world was and managed to realize himself that he was not the demon Fang Yuan who had lived for 500 years.

Fang Zheng realized how important his brother was to him and that he was not the one loved by heaven, his brother Fang Yuan was the one loved by heaven. Fang Yuan received wisdom that was difficult for ordinary people to achieve, Fang Zheng thought.

Losing his memory was only a small price to pay for this.

Shen Cui, who always thought of escaping fate as an item, as a servant, finally got a new goal, she wanted to enjoy this life. Initially she did not mind becoming the mistress of one of the Gu Masters in this clan, but then Fang Zheng came, this was a golden opportunity for her.

But tonight, she had a chance heaven gave her, a goal that everyone covet, that is love. Till today Shen Cui does not acknowledge the existence of love, only the pleasure of possessing wealth and status.

But now she realized this and wanted to pursue her first love, Fang Yuan !!!

She knew that this was a difficult, if not impossible, thing, but just being around Fang Yuan to see Fang Yuan all the time, it was enough for her.

Dong Tu, who thought Fang Yuan was an idiot who didn't know how to interact with other people, also got enlightened. He had to solve the problems he was creating and make peace with Fang Yuan or get rid of him early.

In another place of Gu Yue Village, someone also got a chance.

At Gu Yue Chi Lian's house.

Chi Lian didn't look like himself, he looked unwell because of the problems he was facing.

"Why?!!" Chi Lian is alone at the moment, he can show his true emotions.

"That old bag, how dare he!!"

Chi Lian remembered what Mo Chen had done.

Fang is a branch of the Chi Lian family, as an elder who is most closely related by blood to Fang Zheng who is from the Fang family. This is a good opportunity for him, if he can make A grade talent by his side, his faction can compete for the position of clan leader.

Even though he knew of the problems that would arise if he adopted Fang Zheng, that is, Chi Chen would be annoyed by Fang Zheng's presence. This is a small price to pay.

But reality is not something that always goes with hope. The clan leader under the guise of the benefit of the whole clan, he will adopt Fang Zheng, because the whole village knows what Dong Tu and his wife did to the twins. "It's my duty as a clan leader to look after and care for an A grade talent."

But even so, it wasn't difficult for Chi Lian to defeat the clan leader, the only problem was Mo Chen.

If Chi Lian managed to get Fang Zheng, then only the Mo faction did not have a genius equal to that, the clan leader faction already had Gu Yue Qing Shu.

If in order to prevent himself from getting into a bad state, the Chi faction got an A grade talent, wouldn't it be better for the clan leader faction to have two geniuses?

If Fang Zheng managed to become a clan leader with Chi Lian's help, no one would know what the future of the Mo faction would be like.

It is better if this opportunity is given to clan leaders who are neutral or at least not too aggressive towards the Mo faction. That's why Mo Chen blocked all the efforts Chi Lian made to get Fang Zheng.

If I don't gain, you can't profit either.

This is what Mo Chen thought.
