9 Same as The Story

The clan pavilion, main building, was in the middle of the village, reaching 5 storeys and having sharp tilted roofs; it was heavily guarded. Before the pavilion was the square, and in the pavilion was the shrine of the Gu Yue ancestors memorial tablets. Every generation of clan heads had lived in the pavilion. With every major ceremony or big incident, the clan elders would gather and discuss meetings here as well. This was the entire village's central authority.

Now Dong Tu came to face Gu Yue Bo, the clan leader.

As ordered by the clan head, today was the day when Dong Tu handed over custody of Fang Zheng to the clan leader.

In this room there were only three people, the first was the seated clan leader, Dong Tu who was standing on the left side, and the academy elder who was standing to the right side.

Of course the academy elder was here, he was the first person in this village to be responsible for training the young hopes of this village. Moreover, Fang Zheng, Fang Zheng had A grade talent that Gu Yue village really needed.

Dong Tu straightened up, but it could be seen that something heavy was falling on him, causing Dong Tu to feel troubled.

Dong Tu tries to behave himself in front of the clan leader.

"What is your answer?" Ask the clan leader.

Dong Tu didn't want to hear the question, but from the start when he left his house, he knew that he would hear the question. Dong Tu just doesn't want to hear it.

Dong Tu immediately replied, "That problem, clan leader-".

Dong Tu tries everything he can to get extra time to persuade Fang Zheng, but his time is up. Now is the time to let go of Fang Zheng.

But his heart still didn't want to let go of Fang Zheng, even now. He was in front of the most powerful person in this village, he still hardened his heart.

Dong Tu has been thinking about his future, what happens if Fang Zheng is taken care of by the clan leader?.

That was obvious, it was Dong Tu's destruction.

The clan leader looked at Dong Tu with a displeased gaze and the academy elder did not lose either, he saw Dong Tu as sharp as a knife.

'How dare he try to buy time now! Doesn't he have any shame ?! '

That was what the academy elder thought. Dong Tu was in front of the clan leader but he still dared to stall back.

If Fang Zheng succeeds in growing, then he will take on the inheritance task. Finally, the inheritance that Dong Tu now enjoys, was originally for Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng.

Moreover, Fang Zheng was A grade talent, it was not difficult for him to complete the inheritance task. Moreover, behind him there is the clan leader, that's not a problem if Fang Zheng accepts the easiest mission.

Dong Tu knows this so well, he wants to change it, but he can't.

'After Fang Zheng inherited his parents then what ? He's going after me !!'

Dong Tu and his wife had treated Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng cruelly, if only it's just the inheritance, he could afford to let it go. But, if Fang Zheng wanted revenge, who would save him? Clan laws? The clan leader was on the Fang Zheng side. In fact, the clan leader will use this opportunity to strengthen his relationship with Fang Zheng.

"Dong Tu! You are now in front of the clan leader! How long are you going to not answer the question ?! Behave yourself !!!"

The academy elder scolded Dong Tu, this was done so that Dong Tu couldn't think of a way out.

"I-I will do it. I will do what the clan leader says.

Dong Tu answered quietly, he was scared.

"In that case, good"

The clan leader just calmly replied.

But, his gaze was still fixed on Dong Tu.

At that time.

"But…"

The academy elder who saw Dong Tu's attitude, really made him very angry. His eyes were about to pop out because of the anger.

When the academy elder was about to yell at Dong Tu for his impoliteness, the clan leader gestured to the academy elder to step down.

Seeing this the academy elder was holding back his anger, but his gaze was still filled with anger.

Dong Tu tried to avoid the gaze from the academy elder.

"Actually I want to donate the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass Gu..."

Dong Tu was still trying to hide from the elder academy's gaze.

'How shameless !'

That was what the academy elder and clan leader thought of Dong Tu's words.

He wanted to buy time by selling Fang Zheng parents' Gu. This is a very despicable act.

Dong Tu was only responsible for preserving the inheritance from Gu Yue Fang Zhi, but now he dared to sell it for his own sake ?.

The clan leader's expression that was originally calm began to change, he saw Dong Tu like an insect playing in the dirt.

Even a question arises in the head of the clan leader.

'Why is there a member of his clan like this? Who is so shameless? '

But no one can answer that question. Even if the clan leader asked the academy elders at this time, the academy elders wouldn't know the answer either.

The human heart is always changing.

This moment took place with Dong Tu trying to find a way out while enduring his embarrassment, every time he answered questions from the clan leader, he felt more pressured.

In the end, the clan leader gave Dong Tu one more day to breathe a sigh of relief.

Dong Tu offered his personal property for this last chance.

Actually the clan leader had seen all the information related to Dong Tu, including his financial condition. He could be said to be quite wealthy, to even match one of the lower elders in this clan.

When the clan leader investigated Dong Tu, he also found out the fact that in the past few days Dong Tu had tried to sell the fortune belonging to Fang Yuan's parents.

But, no one wants to buy it. They were all afraid of the potential that Fang Zheng and also the clan leader had tried to pull Fang Zheng to his side.

Who wants to oppose a Rank 4 Gu Master in this village? You could say none, except for people from outside the village.

Who wants to oppose the clan leader? Even a fool knows it's stupid.

Dong Tu walked out of the pavilion, looking like he was fighting a fierce battle. But in his heart, he tasted bitter defeat, he had almost lost all his fortune for this opportunity.

.

The night when the moon shines brightly without a single cloud to obstruct it, the cold night breeze is also cool and blows with the wind.

Shen Cui was heading to Fang Yuan's room. He has a mission given by Dong Tu.

"Whatever happens you have to make Fang Yuan touch you, otherwise you can live the rest of your life in a brothel !!"

Dong Tu didn't say any other words after that.

Inwardly, Shen Cui cursed Dong Tu, but she was only a servant. What can she do?

Shen Cui was holding a tray carrying food and alcohol.

In this food, without Shen Cui's knowledge, it contained a very strong aphrodisiac drug.

One could say this was number one for the quality of this village, this medicine can only be purchased when caravans visit this village.

Shen Cui could smell the charming aroma of the dish she was carrying, this was one of the effects of this aphrodisiac.

Just smelling it can make people increase their libido, if they drink it. Then they can stand three days and nights.

"Young master Fang Yuan, this is Shen Cui. I brought food for young master "

Shen Cui waited for Fang Yuan's reply, but she didn't receive it.

Without realizing it, Shen Cui was waiting until her legs were numb and her hands were shaking from holding the tray.

Shen Cui ventured, she knocked on the door of the Fang Yuan room and pushed open the door.

"Young master Fang Yuan, I will enter."

The bedroom door opened slowly, Shen Cui didn't want to anger Fang Yuan, so she opened it slowly.

When Shen Cui walked in, she saw Fang Yuan crossed-legged on the bed, his eyes closed and he looked like a statue.

Since Fang Yuan was practicing, Shen Cui tried to find a table in this room to put down the dish tray. Her hand had reached its limit.

But wherever Shen Cui's eyes looked, she couldn't find it.

This room is like an empty room, only the bed that is being used by Fang Yuan is the only furniture in this room.

'This…. ? '

Even Shen Cui himself doubted that she would enter the correct room. Previously she had remembered the location of Fang Yuan's room from the afternoon to carry out his duties.

Shen Cui chose to place the tray on the floor and went out to take the table.

She tried to do it carefully so as not to be caught by Dong Tu or his wife, if they saw her. They will think that Shen Cui failed.

Shen Cui returned with a light table and a chair.

But she still saw Fang Yuan practicing.

Shen Cui sat on the chair, her head held up by his right hand.

Her gaze made a hole in Fang Yuan's body.

Actually, if asked to choose between making contact with Fang Yuan or not. Shen Cui will mindlessly choose not to, she just doesn't like Fang Yuan.

Every time she was with Fang Zheng, she always saw Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan always looked like a doll that behaved like a human, in Shen Cui's mind.

Fang Yuan was a very mysterious figure to her, after seeing the state of the Fang Yuan room, the mystery of Fang Yuan was getting bigger and bigger.

'How can Fang Zheng have a brother like Fang Yuan? They are like heaven and earth !'

Actually this was one of Fang Yuan's goals, he just didn't want to attract attention, he didn't want to make the butterfly effect happen, even though it happened, he wanted to make it so small that it didn't have a big effect.

Finally Fang Yuan opened his eyes, when he opened his eyes, he immediately looked at Shen Cui.

Shen Cui, whose mind was still drifting, was shocked, her eyes looked at the Fang Yuan but her mind did not go to Fang Yuan.

Getting a blank stare from Fang Yuan, caused the soul in Shen Cui's body to try to escape.

"Young master Fang Yuan, I brought food and alcohol to you. Please enjoy"

Shen Cui tried to hide her fear of Fang Yuan. But she managed to display the attitude of a good servant.

Fang Yuan looked calmly and blankly at Shen Cui.

"You can go, just leave the food there"

After answering, Fang Yuan stood up and walked to the window in his room.

Shen Cui wanted to answer, but fear filled her.

Her mouth opened and closed but no words were heard.

'How can this be possible ? Young master Fang Yuan is a very different human- NO.  Can he even be called a human? He never shows his emotions, even when answering or asking questions he will only use very few words, but fulfills all the needs to convey the information '

Shen Cui chose to explore this dangerous darkness, she had to succeed. At least she had to be visible while she was doing his best, so her punishment might be reduced.

When Shen Cui will say something.

"Are you still not leaving?"

Shen Cui first heard the Fang Yuan tone being raised.

So far, Fang Yuan's tone was always plain, but earlier she seemed to have heard that Fang Yuan's tone was raised.

'Is this just my imagination ? No, I have to do it ' She made up her mind once again.

She began to remove the shawl that was wrapped around her neck, exposing her upper chest and her neck.

But when he saw Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan opened the window. The cold night wind blew into the room, Fang Yuan seemed to be enjoying the wind, but Shen Cui was shivering badly because of it.

Shen Cui cursed Fang Yuan in his heart.

"Is this fate?" Said Fang Yuan in his heart.

First Fang Zheng fell in love with Shen Cui, then the same trap as in the RI story occurred.

"Fate is like a big river, one can swim here and there, but will always be in the same river" thought Fang Yuan.

This is also a result of Fang Yuan's actions, he doesn't move too much, so the butterfly effect isn't too big.

However, one thing Fang Yuan did not know was that the causes of events were so different.

In the RI story, Chen Sui was sent to seduce Fang Yuan to frame him. But who would have thought that this would happen in this world.

Fang Yuan smiled, but the smile was facing the blue moon that was shining brightly in the sky. Shen Cui couldn't see the smile, if she saw it maybe he would realize that Fang Yuan was actually a good person.

That smile is a genuine smile. He smiled because he can feel something that funny yet mythical.

"Is it what fate is ? I'm curious about my future"

Fang Yuan whispered to himself, he imagined what stories would be waiting for him.
